you count for nothing, the fliock

rufaduring towns by s he fir ft ef
fects of the stoppage ? 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

fiiops produce no sensation ? If
the Americans have not patriot

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

dicuious appeals to principle
which you have been tne firit to

which your perfidy will have

To all your future losses in

The and inhabi
tants of the Batavian republic, real friend?
to civil lilierty, within proper bounds,
and ardently attached to the independence
of the Batavian nation, filled with deep
anxiety for every thing which might en
danger their fafety, and ccafidering a
monarchical government injurious to the
prosperity and even existence of this na
tion, have, after being a long time agi
tated by various rumours, now learned,
that in the Gazette Nationale, or Moni
tcur tof, of the 18th
of April last, the official paper of France,
written and under the eye of
the government of that country, after
f me preliminary remarks refpe£ting the
foirn ol government in this country, it is
declared, “that such being the fiiuation
of Holland, flse mu!} be a gainer by any
change which she might tr;.ke in her
confutation. if the landholders, the
merchants and the enlightened m*n arc

people, without diftmttion of cicfT.s or

The un lerligi'cd have been thrown

would fa 1 j tit them to a form of govern”
tarn , to avoid whnk, 1 heir forefather*

as the fj Item of a republic cor,ft .utes,

fi il elements of their exlftccc: ; and no

no wonder again, *8 commerce, under

part upon the llage of the world, which
i as rend red us, at times, since wc fliook

We entertain hopes, that under the
influence of the divine providence, wb'cb
has often, as it were, by a miraculous in

nation from being torown into an abvf*. f

turn, that with the prei'ervation of the
independence of the republic, and vaiua
blc maintenance of civil iibcrty, rather
than to fee us fubjed to a monarchical
form of government, a dreadful alien, l.
tive for this country, such new modifica
tions concerning the republican form of
government of this naliou will be made,
as will put the teprefrntation, without
diltiodlion of class or religious sentiments,
upon such a footing, that we will actual
