Y BOUGHTS on the Trade between o> 2ica and.be

| I HOPE thatno =rology to Lord Sheffield will be
. Jkthought necefary for the frecdom I have taken with
- his opinicns. I mean no perfopal offence ; for I have
~-heard, and believe, that he® a man of ereat libera’/ci.
_,and humanity ; bur, drawing his corciufions as het
corifefies to have done, ch_fly from crsl tefoony, i
- am ihclined to think, that great pariof the informatior
“given to his Lordihip, was not given in_ghe {pirit o
* truth 3 but in that of feliifinefs and malignity., [ls
. £ordfhip, having submitted his opinions toyhe 1 < .uc,
~avoveedly for the purpose of influencing public ../ ires,
} they are fairly an objedt of public inveltigation. !
One objection fiill remains to be considered. It is
. thatwhich refpeéts ireland It shall quickly be dispatch
'ted ; forsit is withou: even a {hadow of foundation.
. Jlreland has already received, as matter of right, all
“%%he freedom of trade which she claimed, or can reafon
feably desire, and fie o oly earned it. Happy if she
F-",k_n‘q’#sf hes own hippinefs ! Among other priviledg
© es,"the, poflefles that of a dire intercourse with our
“Weft-india islands. Itistrue, the hasch rged the con
r@?:p_’(iori’of Weit-India produce with duties ‘proporti
snate to those which ate iaid by Great-Britain ; and
she has adogged cnr .na‘?igat;ion act, in prohibiting the 3
‘wintrodultion thereof from foreign planiations foreign
- bottoms. This she did at the reasonable requeit of this
%Bigdom 3 for it was obvious, that a fyftem,of smug- 1
" 'gling sugar and Pim from thence hither, would other
-wife-have bzen introduced that most have proved fatal {
_%o,our revenues ; but the duties which Ireland has thus
“%ftablithed, she retains inherown hands. Great-B_ tain
*telsives no part of them ; and if by means of these, the
) pecple of Lrelarfd are relieved of other taxes, how are they
_ injured, and what have they to complain of 2 When
therefore they are told, “* "T'hat they vugnt to have
Weft. India produce on as good rerms as-.the Americans,
"now a foreign nation,” the fal itlelf is net fairly
slated: It is neceflary to observe too, that England is
n'o longer at the expence of myintaining a fleet for ¢ e
proteétion of the commercé of America. - Does Ireid 1.
: gﬁ'pc& that Great-Britain ic to support the ~whole bur
then . of naval defence for both kingdoms, hefides the
Yoad of debt contradted for both, and will :he people of
Ireland contriburte in no refpe tc her relie Men who
“have acted so bravely as the Irith, will nat argue so un
generouily. : : j
I have thus briefly, but I trust fatisfaory; obviated
-z e principal obje¢tions and arguments that have been
eloquently urgedbothin parliamen® and from the press,
against the revival of a commercizlintercdurfe between .4
our Weft-India islands and the United States of Ame
rica, on terms of equal freedom and advantage. With
a few mifcellancous observations, therefdre, that otcur
to'me, 1 (hall dismiss the fubjet. It has been remark -
ed,- that the navigation from Canaga is obstructed fix
qnonths in the year by the ice. "It fhou'4 alfohave been
6B'le’rﬁved, that the hurricaus wonths in the'Wedt. Indies .
“occupy ‘great part of the time in-whicli‘the river S, |

for next to the neceflaries op life, wood, of . hich rum

to the Weit-Indies, as | have aiready demonstrated, and
the gaant of it affords an additional reason for placing
very little dependence on either of those ill-fated pro

made-the only animal fi .d for pooi negioes. Py the
late prociamation, the fature import of salted £ from
the United States is noc permited ever in British
wvefels. As it is impossible that Ircland alone, or-con
jointly with the fitheries of St. John’s and Nova-Scotis;
in their present state, can supply the deficiéncy, infa-’
