But Canade, without Louifiane, will sffosc neither trade or fafety ; and will be « conftent expence of at leaft 300,000 ). per annum —Worfe than Nurbing. : HoR g w2:Lotifiane, by implication, is to be'ceded to theFrench, “©bf. This propolal may be eltimated at about two, mitllions per annum, on the negative fide for us; as it wiuft in'thie iflue,rain our tobscco, rice, tur, Irifh beef, New-Eugland lamber, and provifion trade to the Spanith main, and all the Antilles iflands. This-article, therefore, ought to be put on_ the negative fide, and confidred’ for us as two millions ‘per snnum — Wirfe than Nothing. Py 4.

The- post of Daunkirk, or 2 fuccedsneum at Mardyke, or fome other place, will always be a port. "T'oe {tipulation'is & bubble,s bite on ourlelves;the port is‘a Bagbear, a Raw hesd snd Bloody bones, as the prefent war evinces : At prefent it is confefied by the Freneh; it can receive thipsof the line, which proves what isobferved beyond all difpute. So this would be yielding up the fitheries of the North . America- fess, worthtwo millions per annum, for— Fuft Nothing at all, ' The neatral iflands foa¥t be divides. Olbf. This is yielding half to the French of what was all our’ own before. Confequently this muft be put ‘on the nezaiive fide, and is half their value for us— HWorfe-than Nothing. - : ¢ 6.

Guadaloupe, Belleifle, &c. are worth two mil- lions peranaum, confequently we giveup two millions per snaum for Nothing, or fomething — Worfe than Nothing. : . 7- France fhail eoacinte ber conguefls inGermany. . 04/.

The captures made by England, before the war ®as declared, [ball not be reflored. ' 04f. Thele were made atter the war was begun by the brench ; fo by the Law of Naiions, are our own.

Bug, by article the 3d, England propofes to keep Gore andSénegal, the trade of which may smount to about 400,0001. per annum, and fbout 1800 flaves, " which wiil but little more than make us ameads for the expence we mufl be at in k;e?’,ng garrifon at Que- bee. Niagare, Frontinse, &c. if tie French retain fuct- ing in Louifline ; befides, as the French have liberty of felling their eitates, inltead of a Ceflion, it will be a Parchafe which will drain us of our calli, and enrich France. Thus the Ceflion will prove s Bubble,snd the Bubble muft be puschaled ; though; if they poflefs Louifiane, they will engrofs all the Fur-trade, as, in gnother Paper, fhall be demonftrated, /" Hence, on the geseral account, we fhall yield to B ——— Cantaining the Frefbeft Advic France theirEaft- India trade, worth to them 2 millions fterling per annum ; the Iflinds of theAntilles, the trade of which is worth two ‘mini?s flerling more ; the North American fitheries, Wort {¢we millions fterling per annum more; Loniftunk, warth snother two milli- ons per annum ; Belleifle, wetth 100,000 1. per snnam;” and their prifoners, which lipve coft us a million keep- Noo. 26."

Part of a private letter from the Hague, Nev. 17. .:...“SINCE the publication of thg French Court’s hiftorical memorial of her negotiation with Englend, the News Papers of this country ( as you may have obferved ) are chiefly taken up with extraéls from that notsble piece, which ddes not a little contribute 1 encreafe their fale, as our peopie were anxious to know the yealons for breaking off that negotiation, that they ‘might be able to judge on which fide the fault lay ; and in this enquiry they are much helped by the French and their partizans, who indaftrioufly circulate gratis no {nall numbers of thofe Gizettes that copy the faid memorial : But in {pight of al et artifices, imparcial Datchmen facer at the condiét.of the French court, and condemn it by the very frit page of the memorial, where it is {:id, that the differences about the limits of Acadia and Canada, might bave been eafily terminated at Aix le Chapelle. .
