COMMERCIAL STAI E OE THE IVEsT. The Report on the Commercial State of the Weft India Colonies, laid before our Readers in the &rat of Tnefday laff, is of infinite importance. Amidst the fufpicions which frequently arife in the breast of the Public, that dill:oil - 16°ns in the Hodes of Par ; liament are fometimes fubjea to receive the im• preflions of• Party, it mull be obferved, with great fatisfaftion, that Ktports, founded nn the bell dance, are fair, full and impartial. We might on the prefent occafion call for fume degree of credit,becaufe our opinions, whenever we have hazarded them on that fu*6l, have been perlealy in naafi with the refult of the Welt India Report. Two Pamphlets have been publithed, which ought to have opened the eyes of the Public. They con• tain pofitive and undeniable Etas ; and they have been anfwered only by vague declamati )n and meta. rtylical fubtleties, which have fomething of the fpirit, but nothing of the reafon, ur even the expediency of Geovius, in his Mare Liberian. A third Pamphlet has made its appearance within thefe few days—. tr .nquity into the State of the Indies—which al.o deferves great attention. That the American tyllem, which has been called a fyltem of neuttalitY, i, iu taa the moll detrimental hoflility to the cleared ittterells of this country, is clearly proved by thefe Pamphlets and by the Repf.:f alluded to.
