NorE. In the remarks made i'm this
article on the restrictive system, our inten-
ton was 10 assert the general principles,
which, in our opinion, ought to have guild
ed our Legislators from the beginning, and
which ought to guide them now, as far as
they can be applied in consistencc with
the past measures of Congress. Whether
Their by these measures the government
has not contracted an obligation to the

one night moved by Mr.. Coke, that the in.
dependence Of America should be 1ecop,

the morning. 1t was afterwards, on the
subsequent night, proposed by the speaker

Parliament, and many times afterwards,
MI. Coke received repeated offers from
ministers Of any rank in peerage that he
might select, and the whole patron age Of
the county of Norfolk, all which offers he
spurned as insults Even on the accession
of Mr.. Fox to power, when he might have
accepted them without any dcrclctisn of

that he would rather be the patriotic rem,
