From the FREEM/N's JOURNAL
( f April 30.
In a fee commercial country, every thing relating
to trade becomes an object of general concern:
Anri as France certainly ought to have a prefer
ence in our trade, we have inserted, for the in
formation of the publick, the following extract of
a letter from Nantes, together with the prices cur
rent, and the duties payable at that port.
Note, A Livre is near ißd, and a Sol is about id.
Extract of a letter from Nantes, January i, 1783.
AS every appearance seems to indicate an
immediate peace, it is very probable
when this event takes effed, that a large
proportion of the American commerce
will bend in the old line, and we are persuaded that
many merchants in America will form their ideas
of the frate of the European markets by what they
were formerly, and make their exportations of Ame
rican commodities to England in consequence ; in
this we mult beg leave to fugged: an observation that
will Hand, or fall, only by the event ; we refer par
ticularly to the tobacco trade, the whole of which
was formerly exported to England, and from thence
distributed in the different parts of Europe, parti
cularly to France; but the only demand in future
in every country will be the quantity they respec
tively consume, and we can veiy Safely add that no one
country consumes so largely as this, the quantity be
ing forty millions of pounds annually, equal to about
forty-five thousand hogsheads.
It is true tobacco has been very high in England
of late, but not without a large drawback, and the
consequence of peace will operate to diminish the
price in England in the fame proportion as in France.
As to rice and other American produce in general,
we are perluaded they will always command as ad
vantageous fates in this country as any other; the
consumption, especially in time of peace, will be very
great ' n a Kingdom containing upwards of twenty
millions of inhabitants, rich and extensive.
Respecting the manufactures of this country, we
must observe that the future rates of goods ought
by no means to be judged by what they have been,
as the effect of a peace will diminish considerably ma
ny articles when the communication is open and
free: we are therefore very fauguine that Several of
our articles will always command the preference, in
particular Superfine broadcloths, silks, linens, cam
bricks, callicoes, &c. betides, Since trade firft opened
between France and America, every year has con
tributed to encourage and reciprocally increase it,
owing to the establishment of American Houles in
this kingdom, who, by being closely interwoven
with their manufacturing correspondence, have by
degrees led them to adopt their manufactures to our
talle, which in a few years more wvill entirely cor
roborate with our withes; and we flatter ourlelves
So tar as the merchants of America can find it equal
to their interest, whether they draw their Supplies
from hence, or from England, that American grati
tude will probably prompt them to give the prefer
ence to the country that has so recently buoyed them
up under their greatest misfortunes.
As to Eaft-Indirt produce, you may depend that
no part of Europe will be able to furnifh America
more conveniTby r cheaper than France, in the
CQUrfe of a few mo .ns after the war "
