another intereft, the intereft of Freedom

Preji isnt of the United States,
Sir,
SENSIBLE that nothing is wanting
to the happinefs of the poeple of the U-
nited States, but to continue in peace
under their excellent laws and govern-
ment, the Merchants and Traders of
the City of Philadelphia, beg leave to
exprefs to you the high fenfe they en
tertain of the wifdorn and goodnefs
which diiftated your proclamation, de
claring the neutrality to be obferved by
the United States in the war whereinfe-
veral European powers are now engag
ed—iA war'Svliich, however it might
ferve the interefts of their commerce
for the time, they, as the Friends of all
men, and of aii nations, are bound to
depiore.
ImpreiTed too with an opinion, that
in anunolTending ccndiift towards all
th6 world, confifts the true policy cf
fent conteft among the powers* of Ei>
rope—It gives me pleafure to learn
that themeafiire which I have taken to
decinre to the world their clifpofuioa
on this head, has given general fatis-
fadion to the citizens of PeRhfylvania.
The friends cf humanity will depre
cate war wherever it may appear j and
v/e have experienced enough of its evils
in this country to know that it (hould
not be wantonly or uniieceifarily enter
ed upon—I truft therefore that the good
citizens of the United States will ihew
to the world that thev have as liiiich
wif iomin prefering peace at ihisintsr-
eftinr junflui e, as they have heretofore
difplayed valour in defending their juft
