as the French are adopting decisive me assures
for shutting up all the countries which they
can ontroul, against the trade and navigation

In confirmation of this we must annex the
slst and 9th articles of the treaty of Peace
between France and Prussia-ands it is ex-

which have for two years existed in this conn-

prices current although occasional rclaxa-
tons from them, under the authority of or

tanned. But notwithstanding this, We would
hope, that if Lord Hawkesbury's letter had
not been issued previously to the receipt Of
the late painful intelligence from America,
the present time would not have been chosen
for enforcing this limitation even in Ireland.
