Do you eltimme as of no moment the bankruptcies of Capitalists, and the groans of the poor, deprived <>f tii-ir daily bread ?—Do you coi sider as of little importance the fuf .enfion of all remittances fro n the United States ? Will 30,000,000 of dollars suddenly v ithdrawn from rite usual (up plieg of your manufacturing fiiops produce no sensation ? If the Americans have not patriot ism enough to forego wholly the use of your manufacture's, which, 1 infill:, are not necessary to them, it is to be hoped they have fufficientto fume id impo * t uions, til] thr rx.fti, g two T ears Itock which they always keep, be confu neJ.

America can raise wool enough for lift own con sumption any year flic pleases And you know, that her cotton has become a drug in your ma - ket: She has a.ready dt idi h ed woolen andcottvn manu'dc torirs, anJ ihe i> in pofteflion oi. all y iur mecrunifn necilLiy renuer them profitable. All your realoning in favoui of your manufadurci, is predi cated upon the iucathat you can underfed other Nations, and therefore that they will buy of you —but you torger, that a war, forcing a circuitous trade, and increaltd rifqucs, enhances the price of your manufactures, and offers a premium to domellic in dullry. In the late war, Bririfti goods in America fold ac three for one upon the coil $ and are you fcolifh enough to believe th t we cannot manufacture at a cheaper rate than that ? Wc have now three times the number of inhabitants and five times die capital wc had in that war i and how can these objids be mo.e profitably employed than in manufacturing woolen cloths, when yours will colt us three hundred per cent above the manufacturing price i Betides, do you reckon for nothing the supplies we can draw from Europe i France now furnifhes us many arricles, and among others not a few woolen cloths. Germany supplies us with many linen goods—and 1- taly with if.ks. The commerce of thele countries would flouriih by the incrcafed demand which we should make upon them* ami, 1 rej'tat it, it is not in the power of Great Britain, though her Ihips cover the ocean, to prevent iht! enterpnting tailors of America from navigating the Atlantic. If immense fleets have been able to elude the vicilanee of your Iquadrons, and iravciie the Ocean for mouths without en countering your fleets, how easy is it for tingle, detached, fall fai ling veflels to carry on a lure and profitable commerce i Re coiled once fur ali, that Ameri- ca lire on the or.lv roid to the Antilles and Caribbees, and that your commerce is a thousand times more exposed to her [frokes than hers is to yours. But this ministerial writer has the effrontery to fay, th.it Ame rica would have too much honor to confifcate the Bririfh property, exiftir.g in private credits and public contrails. What ! a Nation sets up the claims of honor who avowedly mikes war on a calculation of profit. Who, acknowledging implicitly that she has no caule even of difcontenc with theothei Nation, avows that she mult fight her, because it is more for h.r pecuniary interc.it than to be it pc-ice. Can such a nation pretend to claim protection from the honor, the sense ofjuftice of the other i Away with luch r> dicuious appeals to principle which you have been tne firit to defpifc.
