"Nothing but calamity is before us it is supposed war will soon be declared against America by the crowned heads that are now against France. This may be only a supposition of the people, and yet it seems more than probable it will be the case. It appears in a little time emigration must be stopped, or I believe half of the people would go to America. Last week when I was in Belfast, no less than five failures took place one of them for 50,000l. a cotton manufacturing company. This one failure has thrown 300 men out of employ."
