DISTILL JI'IOY OP SUG4RS. The Third Report elute Committee ou the Dis tillation of Mugu and Molasses has been printed. It states that "by far the greatest portion of the pierwions awl lumber supplied to our It rat ludia islands has beeu hittierto imported iu Atnericau vessels, and pie.d for partly iu ruin suid a very small quantity of Molasses jute only articles of their growth which the colonists are allowed to barter) and partly in specie and Bill, of Exclianke, which latter mode of payment is greatly preferted by the Americans, who generally insist upon it, and will dispose . of their cargoes at a considerably less price to olden' it, and that thu. not shore one-third of the supplies imported from America are paid for by bartering ruin and molasses ill exchange. The lteport ocs onto state, " that the cause of the prefeience thus shown by the tuerchuuts of the United States to a mode of payment so distressing ' to the other part, is to be found in the limited de mead for ruin and molasses, as compared with the value of the articles imported, and in the edvautage %Inch money and bills of exchange aford in the un restrained interrourse which they ere allowed to carry on with the enemy's colonies. It has been their practice to sail thither with the money of which they hare drained the British West ladies, and to purchase with it sugar, mulasses, and coffee, to re turn with these articles to their own country, and then to export the surplus, beyond the demand of the America., market, to every part of the Conti sent of Bionic. The Report concludes with earnestly recom mending the expiohency of permitting the pro prietors of We,t India estate;s to hurter sugar and coffee, us well as rum and molasses, for the lumber and proiisions imported in neutral vessels during the war, and thee, st thinks, it coupled with the adoption of measures of ineeeused vigoor with re-i bpect to the commerce carried on by the eueiny'a islands, would effectually rehive the British planter from the evils he now so justly emtiplaitai of. With respect to such meusures it euggeste, that a re carrence to the rule of the war of 1751 i, or a block ade, general or partial, of the hostile euloilie, would materially alter the cote. •In the course of the Itteport the Committee observe, that they turned their auto tiou to the manner in which the perm:soon to barter, which they recinutsearl, might affect our North Atnetican tolunics and the shipping interest of tin. euuutry ; thPv admit they did not enter fully luta the subjeet, bet they state, that from the view they took of it, they do not see any ground of apprelteu siuu ; and thit if the weactre recotutueuded even did partially affect the shippii:g interest, it would be io a ilegrea so small as to bear no comparison with the great benefit' to be derived from the mein niures recommended by the Committee. 1.411 V INTELLIGENCE.
