onsequentlyany saccs whissh may he de
duced from the argument, will apply with
addition-al force to the colonial trade. Great
Britain must have required from the U. S.
annually during the years above mentioned
so: much of their produce as could be trans
];orted in live hundred and forty vessels ; it
is believed that she does not want less at
this time, but must lind other means ofyro
sitting it.
The means are an plain and simple, that
no exertion of mercantile ingenuity, was ne
cessary to discover them. The produce of
the United Stutes wiil find its way to Ame
lia lalnnd, St. ]ago de Cuba, St. Barthole
mews, Lisbon, &c. 80 far as British ships
are employed in transpcrctsiinz the produce of
the United States, from the ports above
mentioned, so (as their carrying tradsi is be
nefited. It is not easy to ascertain that
enent with accuracy, but we will adduce a
single (act, from which some idea may be
formed. On the 22d of last month, thersss
were no less than 75 bt'itish ships at Ame—
lia laland ! lt would not be expected tlut
are shoold shew for what object this int
msuse number of merchant sliilis were as

wgre not worn a year. tne rect ne evi
dent— that at one time, end et one port, we
find nearly double the number us'Britieh
ehipe engaged in the trensportetion us Ame
ricen produce, then were engeged in e whole
)eer during the year-e 1805, 6, end 7 ! Sup
poee eech ot'the ehisie ere two mouthe in
port, end lit-et only nell' thet number arrive
every twotnonthe. the number will be im.
menee. We teke no notice of the Britieh
ehipe which ere employed in treneporting
the produce of the United Stetee from other
[one to Greet Britain, but if ehe rcquiree
ee much of our produce ee ehe formerly did ,
eve may with due ellowence for the propor

etill further bent-fitted, in the edvence of
ireighting, from the increasing demand oe,
ceeioned by our voluntary abandonment;
but it may here be eaid that the Britieh na
tion is not benefited by thie edvence, be-'
he .) men of non-intercouru has two
tell, the exclmion os Britilh lhipl, and
excluzion of Brit'uh produce and manu

exclusion is of no serious injury will
ar c\'idc.lll,Wh<,n we invesligzue the sub
swilh anem'mn. For the year: 1805, 6
d 7, the number of British ships which
ntered the Uniled Statcs did no; exceed
orty in each year; in the same years the
umber qumer'ican ship which entered
r'uish ports, averagsd five hundred in each
ear. The a; ﬀarcnt eﬀect it, that Great

harried on wholly in American vessels, and
with a view to punish the belligeremssor
ir decrees and orders, viohting our neu
rights; more pattieularly was it in
sd : ) punish Great Britain, because the
riprity of her maritime force was. and
mpetent to restrict the commeree of
ce, or rather to annihilatc it. We
ld rejoice to see any system adopted
eh could teach the behigerents to respect
rights, but w: always did beltewe the

close it will fell upon the ctieies, when
in its object. At the commencetnent at
our revolution, similsr measures Were tried
by nnocitttinm animated with revolutionsry
enthusiusm, and supported by an ordrnence
of congress, which'suhjected British goods
broughtfrutn any country, shd the tcsseis
bringing them to sorserture. ln iess than
two years the private :tssnriations were for
getten, and British goode were bought and
sold with as much publicity as they now ere,
and their use was restriczed only by their
high prices, arismg from the hazard and
dzfficulty of procuring them. The ordinance
of congress slept, until the last year of the
war, when the owners of some American
! privateers o: letters of marqne, acted upon

When we said that under circumstances
