Once more from thenne or tne Lum

that British nnvigﬂionsswill not speedily de.

; which does not belong to Great Brhain.-—
It seems to follow that the contincntal na

merchantmen from that country in a single

I as many seem to imagine, it is strange that

\ their own interest. would solicit those li

L [( we want farther proof we have it m
, the price of British goods which the dealers
in them say are on the advance and which
shew: that the'demand for them is not de
creacin . But above all we have it in that
best ,o mercantile thermometers' the re
ceipts of the customs. From the late En
glieh paper: it appears that the British cus
toms for the last year have gone much be
yond the sinancial estimates, but that they
exceeded the receipts of the former year
upwards of one million six hundred thou
sand pound sterling or more than seven
milliom of dollats.
But there are akin farther rennoue so: be
lieving that the British shipping will nut
soon want employment. Let it be recollect
ed that almost all the French and Dutch
colooies in both hemispheres have changed
masters and that their productions which
formerly gave activity and profit to so ma—
ny neutrale, are now carried by the English.
The extent and importance es this tradc is
well known in this country ; it has sor ma
ny years been a atandingct topic of discus
sion in this house and our official paper: as
well at public þrintt have evinced the vast
injury done us by the British in their at
tempts to circumseribe and setter it as car
ried on by neutrgls. _ Let it also be seen!
lected that the war as it has been conducted
by the French emperor, hat thrown Open

omesions in South America, which em
Kraee almost the whole'os that continent.-—-—
The tude of that country is now carried on
almost exclusively by the British and has
therefore given much additional employ- to
British shipping. .
Let us then banish the idle apprehension
it indeed we entertain it, that the British
will attempt to rival us in our port: and in
our own trade because they want employ
ment elsewhere. The thing under exist
ing circumstances is altogether improbable.
Beeideg, let me as]: gentlemen if they have
apprehetuions on this subject whether it is
not, in time to pxovide for the evil when we

si—The bill as it justcame into this house
was saic to be : substitute for the non-iuter
course, which was a substitute for the em
bargo. This synem of substitution has not
the appearance of stabilicy. " this bill had ct

Nor will the evil be confined to the ship- '
ping interest; it will be, felt by every por- f
tion of the commun'tty, and particular] y by
our farther: and'planten. We know that
one of the eﬀects of the reatrictivc system,
is to cnhance the pricca os European arti
eclea, and that we are now taxcd scvercly
shyit. Again : while our farmer'a arc.- m};
ing an advanced pt-iec on the articlcs they
purchase, they must as they now do, sacri
fice their producttons. The merchant who
will undertake, to send oﬀ the productions
of the country, must do it at chh expence
and trouble, and will require, it profit not
only equal to his eapital and the risque,
but so as to enable him to pay the srei'ght
of hie vessel both out and in as she tntut
return empty. The pr'icea at the place of
