all Englith merchandize having been prohibited in the Ottoman
Empire, the Grand Seignior has made known to him a with to
have French cloth, and particularly woollen Ruffs called 'balloons.
Thus the enemies of Franoe have by their violence re eitablifbed
one of the molt important markets for her manufadures, a market
of which they were deprived fifteen years fume. You will feel
bow important it is to feize this opportunity to make this known
to the manufacturers of your department, and call upon them to
profit by it. Tell thtnt that the cloth of Wrench nianufadure
having been unfortunately difeountenanced in the Levant during
the Revolution, in confequence of the badncfs.of its manufadure,
their firft obJedt ought to be to re-edablint their reputation, by
fending cloth, the quality of which may alwaystmfure an advan-
tageous fate.. Inform them alto, that they may fend their cloths
Oy Triefte and the neutral towns. In order to inftrud them in
the manufadure of (balloons, and with refpcdt to the qualities
which fuit the Levantins, I will endeavour to fend to you Tome
patterns of thole which the Englith have hitherto earn*.
I recommend this objed to your care, and renew the affurance
of my entire confuicradon. CHAMPAQNY.
