The enterprlfing fpirit and fuccefsful exertions of the merchants of 

 Liverpool having already placed their port in the fecond rank among 

 thofe of Great Britain, they became defirous of emulating London it-

 Weft- Indies I am indebted to Mr. Edwards, [////?.

 he office in Great Britain.

 made applications to parliament for the fame objeft.
