Of acceeratipg maritime peace, by the
impossibili'y which it presents to the COM
mon enemy Of acquiring the means to
continue the war; the redousding stroke
falls DOT less severely on the colonies, by
insulating them from their natural grsoary,
and suddenly depriving them Of the re-
sources they were accustomed to receive
theoce for their subsistence.
