jfl thelr'de bct*eert the linite<h. States, >
a>ul the British West Indies, the vesselsot
, the former were under an absolute prohibi
tion ; whilst British vessels in that trade en
joyed all the privileges granted to other,
even the most favored nations in tiieir
trade with us. The inequality in this case
was the more striking, as it was evident,
that the West Indies were dependent on
the United States, for the supplies csscnti
• al to them, and that the circumstances
which secured to the United States, th;s
advantage, enabled their vessels to trans
port the supplies on far better terms than
Could be done by British vessels.
To illustrate the policy requisite in onr
commercial intercourse with other nations,
he presented a comparative view of the A
merican St foreign tonnage employed in the
Tevpectivc branches or it, from which it
appeared, that the foreign stood to the A
merican as follows:
•Spain, - - - - 1 'to 5,
Portugal, - - • 1 to 6 '
Tlie United Netherlands, - 1 to 15 !
Denmark, - - * * 1 to 12-j
Uussia, - - - —-;
Fi ance, - - - - 1 to 5
Great Britain, - - - 5 to 1
It results from thi sc facts, that in propor
tion as the trade might be diminish .d with
Great Britain, and increased with other :
nations, would be the probable increase of i
the American tonnage. It appeared, for :
example, th-t as the trade might pass from •
British channc s into those ©f France, it '
would augment our tonnage at tiie rate of •
ten to one.
The above calculation, he said,had been *
made out on the documents of 1790, and on I
tlie amount of the tonnage entered in the j
several ports. A document, stating the a
mounts of the actual tonnage in the tmt
£nn trade, had been just reported to that
hoii-.e. It this, which was liable t.» some
remarks that might hereafter be made, was •
to be substituted, it afforded another cal
culation, diminishing the excess in favor
of Great Britain, but augmenting it in fa
vor of the United States in most of the o
ther instances.
--o . ' I
to the American tonnage mi gut be stated
as follows :
Spain 1 to 16
Portugal 1 to 17
U Netherlands 1 to 26
Denmark. 1 to 15.
Russia 1 to 14
France 1 to between 4 and 5
Great Britain, > , to x
nearly as >
Such a disproportion, taking even the re
duced one, in the navigation of Great Bri
tain, was the more mortifying, when the
nature and amount of our exports arc con
sidered. Our expovt* are not only for the
most part, either immediately necessaries
of lifo, or ultimately as necessaries to ma
tiuficlures, necessaries i'f emp:ovment and
l.fe to manufactures, and mu-i thence com
mand a sure market wherever they are
received at all: But the picul ar bulklncss
. cf them furnishes an advantage over me
exports of every other country ; and parti
cularly over those oi G. B. if such an ad
vantage belonged to that nati' n,thc policy
that governs her navigation laws, would
probably have given the exclusive carri
age to her own bottoms. It is equally in
eur power, if so selfish a principle should
be forced upon us, to secure to « ur bottoms
. the same mom poly ? leaving to other n: t;
*>ns wi'h which we trade, the tx lusivc
carriage ol their exports. The regulation
would, to be sure, be mutuajly inconveni
ent ; and, by forcing the vessels cf each
party to return empty from foreign mar
kets, be so far a tax on the inter<ourse
This effect, however, did not disprove the
power in general which the character of
our exports gave us, over the carriage of
them, norlesson the argument drawn from
it. Examine it in relation to G. B. The
bulk of her exports to us, compared w?ith
that* fours toher, is as nothing. An incon
siderable qualttity of shipp ing would suffice
for hers, wh’lstouvs can load about 222.000
tons: Including the ariic es she exports
’from the W. Indies to this country, they
bear no proportion.to ours. Yet in the en
tire trade between the U. S. .-nd the Bf
tish d >mioion«, her tonnage is to that of
the U. S ns 156,000 employing 9,560 sea
men, to 66.000 employing 3.690 seamen
Were a rig d ixcrtion ol our right to take
tV.aee. it wiiml extend onr tonn;.ve to222.
•00. an 1 leave t > G. B. emp'oymer.t for
much less than the actual share now enjoy
ed by the U. S. It cou'd not be w shed to
i.usii matters to th;» extremity. It shewed,
lowever, the very unequal and unfavora
ble f xitir.g on which the carrying trade,

in availing ourselves of the merit of our ex
ports, contend for such regulations as v" uid

the 156.000 tonnage, and 9,360 se.irryn* in

with Turkish troops, who commenced a
heavy fire on them, and killed great num

bring off their wounded, they alTTcll as*

two genera! officers were, however, bro’t

About the 15th of Tune a great battle took
p’acc in the province of C n-tantine, be

the Bey of Tunis, which was said to termi- :

of which there was great rejoicing at Al

appears to be carried m wi.li great vigor ; i
and the Portuguese squadron formerly sta

A communic t'on wie made in June, by
the Marquis de Circello, prime minister to
h s m ijestv the king of Sicily, to Mr. Gibbs,
American consul at P«lermo, announcing
to him that his m^jevv hud declared every
part of his dominions then in possession of

His imperial majestv the emperor of Mo
rocco, has given ordeis that no vesse’s of

It is said.an attempt will be m deon Na

between*! c r sovereign,the Gr ndSe:gnior

Malta did rot think proper to grant their

but not succeeding, he resorted to blow3.
They immediately seia d him, backed him

in the streets. The British and Maltese

Init the mutineers having had time to seise

renewed the demand tor then discharge,

1 Mr Hay observed that he had hot yet
been able to furnish Col Burr with a bat «i
' the witnesses and a statement > f the places
' of their residence, aS the law requires ; Sc
tli it, ftsmanv of those, who had been sum
i nioned nod recognized, had failed to rp
J juar, he was not ready to prodeed with the
tr'ia; inimt diatelv. He also informed the
c urt that a list*of the ven re had been de
| livered on Saturday to Col. Burr, but h d
k! ’ce beefi discovered to be inaccurate It
became therefore necessary (an Act of Con
gress having directed this to be du e . t
le.,st three davt before the trial,) to deli
ver a correct bat on this d i.y ; and of course,
the trial would be postponed until the requi
site time should have elapsed:
Col. liiirr M id he believed lie should have
no object.on to waiving hi* privi'tges with
rf ■ pect to the lists of witnesses and venire
1 men; as he was very anxious to prevent
aU> delay of his trirl.
1 Aftt r some desultory conversation, it wa<
agreed that, the c< urt should not sit ng.iiti
’ ’ti l t*.e Wednesday following j diring
' which interval Mr Hay supi*«.s. d it w. ulcJ
he in his potter r* procure an accurate lisi
of the witnesses; and Col. /furr, that h«
could obtain as much inform vtion, com ern
. ir.rtbe vt nlre, as he wished.
