REMARKS,
G:? the Report of the Sdefl Committee of the Bri
tish llcvfe of Comment, or. the IVeJl-lndia Co
lonies.
This Report was made at the clofe of the late
feflion of the Britifh Parliament, and its cotdi
derstion poftpon*"d till the next feflion. If the
fubjeit w.is fo important and prefling, and the
remedy fo obvious, as it is alledged to be, why
this delay, why was it not taken up and a£ted
"Opotv immediately ? This delay could only a
rife from motives of Itate policy ; and what
motive* more probable than thof-* of operating
in the mean time on the fears of this govern
ment and nafion. By u flic ring this elaborate
report before the public, a id delaying to art
upon it for half a year, it was probab’y expected
that the hoftile menfurcs it threatens would pro
duce an alarm on this fide of the Atlantic, and
'lighten us into a fubmiflion to nicafurcs only
left hoftile complexion,
ftt^t this calculation is founded on profs igno
SroV it is founded on the perfuifion that our
^‘.vernment are fo uninformed as to
\St* f*3!'00’ the falfe inferences
■ ^rni the report from the mournful fads it
^ —ctaiis. Let u< examine thefe inference*, pre
mifiog previotiilv, hoxvevt r, the important ad
miflions of the report itfeif.
It is admitted that the whole fugir cultivati
on of the Biitilh Wdl Ind’a ill rods it at prefect
productive only of !ofs, without making any
allowance foi the immenfe capital inverted in
the plantations, and machinery and utenlPs em
ployed in working them ; and, we may add,
without mak’ug any allowance for the exper.ict
attending the immenfe naval force required for
their protection. To fuch a dreadful piduie,
what a hright contrail do the fugar pJantationc
of Louifiana prefent, whert the clear profit is
Certainly between twenty and thirty per cen
tum ! Such arc the advantages of peace over
war, of a pacific over a quanclfome nation, of
v nation without colonies over one poffcfT.d of
them, of a nation without a navy over one pnf
felled of a gigantic navy, of a republic over a
monarchy, of freedom over flavery.
This evil is principally aferibed to " the faci
lity of intercoutfe between the boftilr colonies
and Europe under the American flip”—by
means of which their produce is faid to He fold
at a lower rate than that of toe B itifli iflarid*.
But is this i found porttion ? Allowing the faft
aftfumed, is it the principal caufe of the evil
complained of ? The price of any commodity
depends, not merely on the expenfe incurred in
producing it, but like wife on the extent of the
demand for it. Tins is fo much the cafe, that
we have feen in this country the great ftaples
of flour and tobacco within a period of a few
years varying, the former from fivr to twelve
dollars, and the latter from five to ten dollars.
And yet during all this time the expenfe or pro
dmflion wan the lame. If we mi Hake not, it is
principally to this caufe that the depicffeil price
of fugars is to be traced ; either the quantity
produced has increafed, or the demand his
funk. The laft is mod probably the cafe We
*11 know that fugir i* not a neceffdry of life ;
but that i* is a mod eflential article of comfort
able fuhfiltance ; and that, confequently, it*
confumption will greatly depend upon the con
dition of the people.—If they are in good cir
amJUoo,j they will ufe it freely ; ;f jn narrow
circumftanres, their ufe of it will be dirnicifhett ;
and if in abje-fl poverty they will crafe altr.ge!
ther to ufe it. Now the wars of Europe and
the accumulated burthens produced by them
have reduced the people to this miferaide con!
dition, and hence, as we apprehend, the dimi
luflivd confumption of this agreeable and nutri
tious article. If this be the caufe of the reduc
ed^ price, no palliatives can afford a remedy.
Ware nuifl reife, taxes muft be reduced, the
condition of the people muft be elevated, be
fore i he root of the evil is reachrd.
There is one way, indeed, in which a partial,
perhaps an efficient remedy, might he had.
I.et Brit »in throw off all exifting reflraintson a
fee trule to her colonics. I.et them enjoy all
the advantages which it is faid the ho/lile colo
lius derive from a ueutral fl ig. No longer will
her enemy be ahle to underfell her in the mar
ket. The American merchant w ill carry her
goods as cheap as thofe which are carried from
the colonies of her enemy. There will then be
a fair and honourable competition. Induftry
and fk.il! will command a reward for thefr exer
tions. And on this ground England has little
to fear, for her fubjeCts are indnftrihus and in
genious, laborious and enttrprifng ; and the
whole world knows, that whenever her govern
ment does not reftrain thefe faculties, they ar«.
inferior to no other people on earth. This ia
her true policy. The fooncr the purfuesit the
better. For in the prefent ftqte of the world,
no nation can eftablifh a monopoly, without
paying more for it than it is worth.
For this evil a rigorous bloc k ide of the ene
mies ports, ia propofed, together with an inter
diction of the neutral trade from tbrm. It is
perfectly clear, that what is here meant by
h/oikade i» a declared and not an a Jual blockade ;
for vaft as the Britifh navy is, it U incompetent
fo the adtual blockade of one tenth part of her
enemies ports. This then is a proportion plain
ly and umrtnivnoally repugnant to the cleared
principles of the laws of nations, principles
which have never been conteftrd. Such a mea
sure would confcqnrntly he an a£t of war again!!
this nation 5 and, if rigid.y carried info opera
tion, wotfd probably produce war. On a pro
portion tint dircdtly lead* fo fu. h a refult it is
almolt ufrlefs to arpue ; as a ftate of thing?
v’«uld fnon enfue in which all argument would
be idle. It may not, however, he altogether
ufeiefs to enquire, whether, even fuppofi’ng A
merica ftiouid fubmit to fuch s violation of her
rights, the evil complained of would be reme
died ?
The efTeft of fuch a r?~ornu' blockade would
be to create fo many obftacte* in the way of the
prcftnt carriage of coloni.d product* by Ameri
can vcIT Isas greatly t.o redtjce the exdting pro.
fits. Now, it is thefv vci / pr.fi's that have
given hirth to this trade ; and juft in proporti.
on as thefe profits fhould be diminiflicd would
that trade be abandoned. To this let it be ad
d'd thiit the enemy of Britain would probably
deal out to the neutral merchant the fame treat
ment experienced from Erbain. ]f fhe thus by
violence prevented him from carrying the pro
duits of her enemies coloni s t<> them, they
would irtdifj uUbly prevent him ir.> bringing
into their ports the product of JJiitifh C«donh-s
From both which cfrenmfl afters, tmeonn’efted
with others, it would fo low, that Britain be
coming lit? grc*f, and almoft exclutive carrier
of the wholy colonial trade, the, value of i hear
ticles world br enhanced, and in proportion to'
their in ere a fed va ur their conftfmpvion lie di-‘
vrjnifiicd, thill pr lably lofjng rmuv (rorn the
< rt rrfuit than would bc gained from the nth. r.
Rut would it rot follow, that fo | r a« iilatcd
t-< the whole European market f r colonial p-o
duce, with the cX eptioii of I’.n^l md, the f.u ih
tie* "f filpplying it uiuiec a neutral flag being
greatly di'iii-rfhed, the nt irkt t itfelf wnoig be
f'»rr;fptndf rcJutcd ? tOw it i„ a fa4t
♦hat the produce of the EngWh-W<ft India If* .
lands i* greatly beyond the demind of England ;
and fo far as this furplus goes, (he is hetfclf 1
nod deeply interrfted in the exigence of a neu
tral carrier. Conliquentlr by deftroymg this
carrier flic would deprive herfclf of the . only
means for difpo ling of her Own furplus produce.
Yew the point, then, in whit light we may,
England would be the crca’elt fufTcrer. The
neutral nation would only lofe the profits of the
trade, while Ihe would lofe the means of difpo*
fing of the greater part of her colonial product*.
It It* admitted that her iRinds would he fotne
wh»t dift^Ted by the want of the fuwplitrs or
dinarily tTceived from the U. S. It is fait),
howertr, that thefe might in a great degree he
got from her American continental po(Tedious.
But unfortunately one circumflance is entirely
over-looked, which is, that in the event of a
rupture w ith England, one of the firft Itcps ta
ken by the U. S. would probably be to pCficfs
themfclvcs of thefe very colonies.
Upon the whole, we flatter ourfelves that the
BritiOr Parliament will take a more correct and
difp.iflioiiate view of this fuhjetfl than has been
done by their committee, and that, when they
ftiall clearly fee that this country is refolutely
determined to maintain her rights, and to rijrCt
all temponling, they will confult the mutual
interefts of the two nations by the adoption ot
pacific and liberal meafures. AVi/, Int.

DIED,
On Thurfday morning, the firft of October, in the
fixty-fecond year of his age, at hie feat near the Schuyl
kill, Geneual PETER MUH LENBERG
This gentleman in early life yielded to the wifhes
of his venerable father, the late Rev’d. Doctor Hek
rt Muhlexheku, the patriarch of the German Lu
theran Church, in Pennfylvania, by becoming a mi
nillerof the Epifcopal Church, in which capacity he
aCted in an acceptable manner in Virginia, until the
year 1776, when We became a member of the conven
tion, and afterwards col. of a regiment of that ftate
In the year 1777 he was appointed brigadier-general
in the revolutionary army, In which capacity he j&ed
until the termination of that war, which gave liberty
and independence to his country ; at which time he
was pro-notc.1 to the rank of major-general. After
the peace he was chofen by his fellow citizens cf Pe>in
fylvama, (his native (late,) to fill in fuccellion, the va
rious Rations of vice prefident of the fupreme execu
tive council of Pennfylvania, member of the houfe
of representatives, and fenator of the United States,
and afterwards appointed by the Prefident of the Uni
ted St3tes, fupervifor of the excife of Pennfylvania,
and finally, colleClor of the port of Philadelphia, winch
office lie held at the time of his death. In all the a
bove military and political Rations, Genes at. MUH
LENBERG acted faithfully to his country ar.d ho
norably to hintfelf. He was brave in the field, cud
| firm in the Cabinet. In private life he was ftri&ly
S juft, in his d imeftic and focial attachments he was af
frSionate and fmcere, and in his intercaurfe with his
friends and fallow citizens, always amiable and Unaf
, fuming. His remains were interred near to thole of
his anceftors, and a part of his own family, with mi
I litary honor?, at Providence, in Montgomery county,
! on Friday laft, amid! a large concourfe of refptdlable
citizens.
“ How fieep the brave who (ink to reft !
“ liy all th>-ir counrry’s wdhes bleft ;
“ When firing with dewy fingers cold,
“ Returns to deck their hallow’d mould,
“ She then Shall dreTva t weeter fod,
“ Than fairy feet have ever trod ;
