A Correspondent most fervently hopes, in Case Administration should ever be induced to yield up the Rights of this Nation again, as was infamously the Case in the Year 1766, to the audacious Claims of a Crew of traiterous Insurgents (a Circumstance which, under the Wisdom and Ability of Lord North's Administration, he thinks there is little Reason to fear) that we shall at least leave them in the State we found them before the late Peace, before so much of our Blood and Treasure had been lavished upon them, and at all Events restore Canada to France.
