Il look on the measures of the British Government
as ten-fod more injurious than anything which it is
IN the power OF the American Government to inflict
AS for Instance the London friends of the free blacks
who are situated in the West Indies, the whole

done more to paralize British commerce, to perpe-
tuate slavery, and to make the poor of England eat

providence will do something TO open the eyes OF

evil come out of their public measures, the arsto.
