which she has SO much inter, st to Prolons,
wi,..%ut the raising Of the embargo. How
could England have made subsis., all her
colonies and conqursts How could the
Spanish colonies prolons their disobedi-

How could the unfortunate island Of St.

every kind, which are going to. be carried

Whatever side you view the question Of
raising the embargo, it is one Of she great

Der commerce, orc OF the most fatal nea-

TO console US for this destructive reso-
luton, the United States are good enough
to permit the importation of some WINES
and brandies. What compensation Now
it will take twenty carg oe OF those articles
to pay for one OF colonial produce, and all
the gold of France will soon run away by
torrents, as it did not long since, when the
Americans came into our ports by hun.

they give decided preference to the wines

having more bod; and to the 6randi-s OF
Catalonia AS being cheaper? And. more.

they will hawk X about the north of ku.
rope, to the great prejudice Of ours, for
which we found a considerable vent by

it suit US to let perish new branch Of az
riculture which is making daily the srestest
progress, and frees Us from burdrnsolne
foreign tribute! Co,sons ; la, cannot the
Lsvant furnish US with enough, and take
in exchange the rich productions OF our
manutacturers! Sugars and coffee ;whsre
can they get it for themselves, If not from
English possessions or her conques,s:W.!l
they have the effron.ely to bring US shs
produce OF our own colonies, now become
the prey Of our enemies! This would be
too much! What care we for those costly
superaui,ies, the consumption of which i.
Of so much injury to our own soil ? flour
epieures cannot do without, Our psiyatsers
will not let them want.
Many more reflections, sir, nigh, be adj

coniine ourselves to this. The Americans,
