What have you to hope for there ? A tempo rary advantage, growing out of their immediate want of tonnage, which will fpeedily be fupplied, and from time to time your Hupping will be excluded from their ports, by re curring to the colonial fyftem. Will you fubfbtute advantages fo precarious and uncertain for thole which you poflcfs—incalculable in their extent, and interminable in the'r duration ?
