land or procure from America or
France; and we pledge ourselves to
promote Irish manufactures by en-

and to use our outmost endeavors by
a plain statement of facts and dis
elimination in patronage to per-
suade American tradesmen from
keeping English goods on sale.
ReSozoed, That the English minis
