push their ioUe for France and haired far
England, let these extracts speak
Mr.. - represents England as the shield
between us and France-does he say how
much 1t "bruises and breaks the arm" which
il covers!
"The fall of England is ruin to us''-but is
he sure, that war with her would ruin her !.

than yield US our rights?

one is certain-we feel it in every nerve
the other is uncertain. England nav foil
