[Extract]

All the owners from the West Indies presented yesterday a petition to the House of Commons with respect to the frightful losses brought upon them by the present war. This is a very important matter because the trade of the Islands is going to be completely destroyed. Thus develop little by little the misfortunes of England, and we will see finally that the loss of America will be a decisive one in spite of everything said up to now by the Ministry to try to convince us that they are concerned more with the dignity than the interest of Great Britain.
