AT a junftiue when the question of g

becomes extremely ufefuf to those titizens ®f the

f.lves to view this. fubjeA, undents various af
peSs ; and they will have the fatisfadion to be
furnifted with the necessary data, to judge of the
ufefulnefsof this tratrfaflion.
This work is principally diftißgmlhed by the u
riebnefs of the obfervarions, the pcrfpieuity of the |
Ucas, and the modesty of the theory wh eh * '
contains. At Pars, a »an of wit .M.rved, that
this work was like a rich farmer > barn, hoaped up
to the very roof with nfeful produce. It is addcef ■ a
fed to the unfortunate La FAriTTi, in letters,
which fugitive form, the author who could ohly °
devote a few works to this oecupatipnj was obliged
to adopt. Although circumducts are ill many
rffpeSs different at the present day, ftorn what r
thcT were in the year 1790, when these letter!, 0
were Written, yet it may be justly said, that so ma
ny abfolttte and permanent data dill remain, that
the judicious reader will not appreciate the work
lesson that account ;cn the contrary, as'many of F
the alterations, which hav« bean made, are the re
fiiltof the author's remarks, it will serve to con

EOayin thefoiis 'f • taiUn, to appraise the im
poitaiions into the United Statei jrtm France and trig-
Umi in-ted. The author examines at each article,
whether it can be better lurnilhed from France or
England— It is principally on this fubjeft (which
would haveaitonilbeda meie theorist) that the author
appears toevincegrea:«commercial expeiience. These
kino of laHeaux, uuluckily as 'lifficult to obtain as
they aremuthtobe desired, aiethe only fuie goidce
the fiatefinan can take for the policy of tieaties. de
prived of wliich he is continually deceiving or decei
ved. We c-.rr ot too much admire the apparent ex
aftnefs of colonel Swan's calcuUuons j and alihough
ibe propbtfies of Lord Sb.ffieldha»e already been
eon radifted by experience, and by several able pens,
vet it is curious to lee the author of ibe prelent work,
dispute wiih hiin the only grouod on which he has
. not been hitherto attacked. J>y proring that France,
vinder the icqui ed condition, will be better able
than Great Britain to supply us with (everal articles,
wh.ch the Enjlilh authoi allots exclusively and forev
er to the latter; the author's patUdity tjftti on (if he
has any) does not appear to have at any time created
a pdtu J'tycf judgment. The result of this calculation
is that in >;Bg, that is to fay, ata period when arts
and manulaftuies did not present m France the vsft
means and probability of extension which they now
possess. that even in 1789, it was presumable, that
France would not only bave the means to supply one
half ofanv given quantity of the prodo&ioos of France
an,l t upland united, but also to enter ioto competition
with Great Britain for the remainder, in proportion
to the wildom of ber government, and ilk induihy
of ber inhabitants.
LETTER IV.
Calculation of the exportation of the United States,
and particular examination of their suitableness to
France; this is one reafom why, notwithstanding the
Cxccll' ut work of Mr. Tench Coxr, Mr. Swan's to-
Hcuu Ts by no means fupeifluous . the principle of the
advantages which would fcfult to France from the
importation of provisions and raw matciials, is every
where applied ; % d « is upon this argument, that
the author cftabhincs his demands to the French go
