Johnson if approve otall that Air. Polk does,

that 54 40 is right. Thu Col., then adds,
that iP'Greitt. Britain has dete'rmiued(to havu"

withstanding what th Col. says about the

he sas his feelings as u man are inverse to

From this we infer that as a man he prefers
peace, but as a Colonel ho likes war., lie
even compliments the Quakers-nd nai,
"in feeling I am identified with thi pmiaole
