Frsroe would be euireuty advantageous, and greatly TO
be d,s7sd ycs Il We should press our claims only AZ
that Court and oder Fsres alone the advantages you
esunera,e, whilst we might secure the friendship Of
rance, ue would awaken hostile feelings in other pow
ers. which We should BY all means avoid.
