lhat his STATE, so high-minded and patriotic, Is
about 10 seize the first opportunity 10 abandon her

Great advocate Of Commerce, 10 The exclusion oil

wards, under he change OF circumstances abroad
by The cessation of war and the commercial
powers doing their own carrying trade, she
changed her policy, and directed hcr energies
into new channel which has vastly enriched
her. The Gazette then makes the following OK
traotdinary statement, for one defending The pin
cipIes OF Massachusetts
Having thus alludedto the fa;liy with which

This view, ", quote The following from The New
Haven Register:
"Ho, ron TExAs-Seyeral vessels have len
