he would al once set k down that the population was made up of american subjects that not one british subject whether of american or european birth was left to assert the name we read of one who

and sir it is scarcely credible lhat you as a lawyer should after the government have gone every length except that of declaring alt american subjects also subjects of his majes ty should affect to be dissatisfied nay should use downright defiance and for what not because these persons are not now by this act of grace entitled to every immunity as if they were british bom no but because ihe grvern-
