w confess hardly see sufficient for
garGng the position Of Affairs between the United States
and Great Britain possessing the threatening aspect
with which il IS invested b. Of contemporaries
The political aud the material interests Of the two

that appebensions OF collision could only be justified by
much lower estimate Of the good Of ourselves and
Of kinsmen beyond the Atlantic than the progress OF
either country among the nations Of the world would

threatened projects for the invasion Of Ireland the open
discussion Of which hardly mail falls report But II is
against these less ambitious enterprises and not against
America, that our squadron is directed. We shall
doubtedly strong hand to put them down. bui
when do il is The misguided people who embark IN
