Ject under which we are writing, aud which has recently
engroesed the attention of the American public and the
United States Congress- looms high and far above every
other question at present before the Colonial public
Up to the present period the Americans have enjoyed
unlimited privileges on our preserves AS Colonts we

trade with our natural customersthe Americans but
while our reasonable requests have been respectfully en-
tertained they are unnecessarily postponed
Under these circumstances we would be the yeres do

Our privileges have been long tempered with to be
further subjected to the within and caprice of British
