Royal Letters Patent, for an inatiVevement in Weighing Machines, begs leave to rehonutiend them to the Public, as the moat perfect and useful article for that purpose ever constructed ; for accuracy, simplicity, expedition, and portability, it stands unrivalled, as it tastatercy chews the euet weight of any article from One Ounce to a Ton, without the use of Weights, thereby saving time and labour. Being perfectly portable, it may be used in any situation—its universal utility must therefore be un deniable for Domestic purposes; in Shops, Warehouses, Cooed oMces, Market Hewes, Barns; onWharfs; at Race.. and Fairs; for Cattle, Corn, Hay, Wool, &c.; or fur Loading heavy Arti cles, it may be attached to the chain of a crane, and show the Weight at the time of craning ; it may be also made with a chair to weigh Persons. From its extreme simplicity, it is scarcely possible to be inaccurate; yet. if . it ever should be so, there is an adjusting Screw which will momentarily correct it. 11. 31aaatorr begs to Caution the Public against several Spu rious Imitations of his excellent and useful Invention, which arc attempted to be introduced; none are on his genuine Patent Principle that have not a label with his name over the King's Arm s.

Ssa—ln answer to your letter dated the 19:h silt. cotn-iltd citing a ProclamatiOn issued under your autinkity'for the pur pose of meeting the provisions of the third Section of an Act of the Congress of the United States of America, Retitled it Act to Regulate the Commercial Intercourse between the United States. and Certain Ili ;CIL Colonial Ports ;' I have the honour to inform you th it the Declaration therein contained with ret,iect to the equalisation of duties and ether charges on British and Atiserican vessels and their cargoes would doubtless be con i dered satisfactory by the American Government, as far as the Province of New Brunswick is concerned; but the President is not prt pared to issue his Proclamation for the removal of the discriminating dllties gt ill levied in this country, on British vetstis entering front the open Colonial Pont-until he receives a 'similar declaration with respect to all the Potts enumerated its. the abuyisinentioned Act of Congress. With'rcferenee to this point, and the difficulty arising ont of it, I have the honour to i nc l ose h erew i t h, f or your forther. formatlon, the copy of a letter which I have recently' had &ca ution' toOsiress on the sante subject to,Y. , Eatcellency the Lis:e tc:luau-Governor of Nova have the honour to be, Ckc. STIi.ATI•Ofi.I) CANNING. ' The Hon. Ward Chipmnn, the. :cc. • (Corr.) WasnrNc7ov, MAY. 17. ' ka—l have had the honour to receive your Liiicellency's hater of the 22d ult. certifying that no higher duties are demanded front ships of the United States on entering tip ports of Nova Scotia than what ere levied on Briiish vessels, and requesting that. I will take the necessary stepi to induce the American Government to place - British \fetich, when entering the hug:lours of this eosin. try from Nova Scotia on a like footing of equality with those of the United States. -Tiffs subject has for son* time engaged a . " constdevable share or my attention, and the state' of my l'orres pOndenee respecting it with the American Government his alorie prevented any making an earlier communication thereupon, as well to your Excellency as to the other Col.niul Authorities.— It is now in my power to state what appears to !Live been over looked in some of the Colonies, that the Arnor!can Government requires a previous condition of the removal of the discrimi nating duties on their side, an authentic declaration not only as to their vessels, including the cargoes, being plsced on a footing of public equality in point of duties and charge*, of whatever kind they may be, with British vessels in the open Colonial Ports; but also, that no goods imported into the rohysies in their vessels should be charged with a higher duty than is levied on the like articles imported from elsei , here, tleit is, as they in tend it from any other place whatever, than the place of exporta tiun. It is further required, that a declara.ion to this ef:.at should be given in reference to all the Colonial P.rts enumerated in the Act of Pailianient. The Certificates enclosed in your Excellency's, letter are there fore not satisfactory to the Antericm Government, inasmuch as they establish two only out of the three points required with reference to Neva. Scotia. They chew that the British and Anse deans are Charged alike with respect to their VCSSCI4, and to the articles considered m.:rely as a cargo imported in them; bat they do not shew that all the bawl ted articl.s considered wish re spect to place of production, or export:Ala : a, are j just upau equal footing as to duty, 'with the like articles a :tatted front other places, the British Colonies themselves included. The character of the third aEd supernumerary condition will, doubtless, arrest the attention of his Majesty's. Ministers; asp:re sent it can ouly be certified as a nutter of fact, and I aits tinder an impression that the duties prescribed in Schedule C, annexed to the Act of Parliament, under which the tral.; betWeett tam of his ill a - raty'a Colonies and the United S,ates is uner,spen.
