We do not believe a word piths matter. if Mr. BROUGHAM accept of the thing et all, lie is a weaker man than we take him fur; but this pretended distinction is contemptible Indeed! Oa perusing a pamphlet entitled, " The state of the nation, at the commencement of the year 1822, considered under the four departments of the finance; foreign Motions; home department; colonies and board of trade," which has now been for same mouthe before the public, and has all the characteristics of an official document. we were much *track with the state, of oar foreign eouimeree, and cannot bet think tba the inferences, which are there drawn from It. ar totally fallacious. It appears from official returns. that in the year ending the bib of Jen. 1821, the vales of our exports was in round ambers about 52 millions, whilst the vain of oar imports was little more than 36 millions and a bait; from which it is inferred, that there remained a clear balance of trade in our favour of nearly lb millions and a half. We are aware, that there is sedge( meet in this view of the subject. It hat been cestomary since the days of Adam Smith. to consider any excess in the valet o' the experts of a Gentry ever its imports. as the m- f the profits accruing from its commercial intercourse with other countries; and to this opinion oh statesmen and econneists have, as far as we know, subscribed with but ewe exception. Notwitlistaading, however, the generality at ;this belief, sad the great number of illustrious 1i 81 byrwroilr irhairiteen and is supported. we can't help deal:tie( its accu racy. and the greater the consideration wo have be stowed on the subject, the mere decided is become our conviction, that our doubts are well fended. — Perhaps we cannot illustrate oar view el the subject better than in the (allaying manner If it were possible for a single merchant to expert what all the merchants in the country enameled in the year 1821, viz. 52 millions worth of produce; and. if he were to receive. in excite:lgs for it. only what they received, vin. 36 millions worth and a half. no one, we should think, would be fond hardy., ur rather stultified enough. to assert whet has been weeded by the dolts in office. that he habil gained lb millions and a half by the transaction. ltat. how can it &Per the ease. whether this amount of goods were exported and imported by one merchant. or by ten thousand merchants? How can the loss of an individeal, or of a whole class of individuals, be converted, by any pr of reasoning, into a national gain? In fact, the conclusion that the balance of trade has been against us instead of baring ben in oar favour, is so obvious and irresistible, that we could sot. at Arai, help believing, that the precious metals imported late the country, whether as bullion or coin. might have bees omitted. Oa inquiry. boweva, we fin that, like every ether article of merchandise. they ai properly lsr chided ander the head of imports. There only then remain two ways in which it is possible to square our exports with oar imports; ass these are, by *opposing that the differene hewers them in the above year. amountiag, as before stated, -tie. SIM ear upsets have greatly _ _ F•rta Pt many yeers past. end that-chisel:um . bun with little easeptios gradually. or the iscreams theagli only, as .it were, la an arithaistlealintbse .: There is no violist chasm in the expeettititipeetneff soy ens year ever dose of a preceding. of ortolt i year. For instance, in the year 1611-14. and 1 our imparts were somewhat ander thirty milliones and oar exports about' female millions. leuriag the bm haze of trade each year, as it is contended. shoat If' million la oar &mar. • ' Hew, if we take the first of these years in Matra .." of oar arymest, and suppose that it die tow ,sies ets/emelt if it there was nothing des either by •fitreigaen to mar merchants, er by our merchants to ,fteelgaers; It must, we think, be allowed, that if our omnibuses did seller their foreign correepoutleats. in tie milieu of that year, to untrue debts with them to As imonnt of those 16millions. they would hardly hum •allowed them to run lots their debt 16 millietts more the aimed year, and still less would they kayo per- WOW them to add to this already mormes ammo- Wiest of debt another HI millions the third year. If we were; therefore. to pursue our inquiries into tie amount of oar 'sports and imports. nis further than the three years above alluded to, it would, we eetteeive, be safficieetly demoststrated, that the former el these suppositions is utterly at variance with all probability. Bat if we proceed a few steps fattish% we shall Gad that for many years preceding these abovrasentioaed. there was constantly a v er y lar g e omens on the value of our experts over that of our imports; and that there has also been a constant em cent ia the same side, varying , we believe, freinsimn tweets 10 to 16 millions per annum sinc e. Sa d keg the cue, it is impossible for any sae comma seise to imagine that our mere •esld or would allow foreigners to be adding yearly, during se keg a period, to the millions which they already owed them; as on this supposition they would have contracted debts with tier merchants. seam ow. the year 1811, to the amount of mere tim US millions. Having thu *hew,. as we conceive. the impossibi lity that the dormer of these suppositions can be true, we will sew examine into the probability of the latter. viz. whether the difference between oar exports and imports meld have bees settled for in the other Ira, we have supposed, and which is the only'ressiaieg way It is possible to imagine, viz. by bills of He el/age. And here it mast be evident that such hills mint, If they were ever in existence, have beets draws either on this usury. or on foreign countries. Now, if they bad been draws in the merchants of this eettatry, it would follow that the foreigners, who drew HMI. -bed Miele la dm heeds of oat merchants to the imam of the bills es draws. or, in ether words. that our merchants were so much in their debt. But we have already shave, from the state of our exports 'sad imports for many year. put, that sash osuld au have bees the ace; onkel), indeed, it be ersateeded, that in addition to the conseant balance of trade. which we assert. and trust we have proved. to have been ageless us for a great many years past. our merchants have been also running many millions ink debt with the salmis they have bees trading pith. It must be evident, however. that to admit this sup positioa. mold only be is strengths* oar argaseut, and that it is much better for the supporters of the ',posits doctrine not to mix up the exports ape ia. ports of one year with those of soother, but to con sider the imports received each year as the payment for its experts. Besides the very same process of reasoning which has already emptied us to scout this supposition as regards our commercial intermitse with foreigners, equally precludes the possibility of believing that fo- reign merchants would permit oar merchants to ram every year deeper into their debt, eve. if eat NM chants were idiots enough to be willing to persist is so ruinous a commerce. If t hi s reasoning. however, should not be deemed conclusive of the subject. the following, we apprehend. will effectually set -it at rest, and demonstrate the otter impossibility that these fifteen millions sad a halt could have bees paid for by hills of exelotoge. drawn either oo the merchants of this country, or on the merchants of any other. All bills of exchange are themselves bat symbols of some commercial trans aetista. If; merchant In America, for instance, draw a bill of exchange on a merchant in this country in favour of attedier merchant in this country, he mast hare transmitted. or he must transmit, to the mer chant on whoa he es draws. a quantity of lurches- dire (we include,'of cohree. the useless metals 'toast this denousinatioo) equal to the value each bills ef 'Rehear represents. If the same merchant in Ame rica draw a bill of exchange in f f the same English merchant on a suerchast in Fraser, or in way other foreign country. this bill aloe can only be paid is France, or in that other foreign country, in millt. chsodise, (asieg the term is the same significationlia before). So that. is either case, the proceeds at a hill of exchange. whether it be drawn on this century I tie em any other country, or that of which it is the eyeelesi, must ultimately he !deeded with the mass of the imports of the country to which the teerclusat, ST ' s person in tibiae favour it Is drawn. beloep. Hysti die whole, therefore. it is clear to demoostratios that during the year 1821. the balance of trade was. on the shewing of Iltaissers themsetves, fifteen mil lions and a half against this country, and mot, as they have concluded. that muck in its favour. --mm— A Jamaica mail arrived tide morning, by which we have received the Jamaica papers to the 12th March, from which we extract the following:-- TOBAGO, Jar:. 11.—The melancholy task devolves upon us this day of recording a moat unfortunate ca tastrophe, we mean the antecedes of a great portion iT the Town of Scathe/else, by a fire which broke out le the upper story of the home formerly occupied by Mr. Sawyer.
