THE dispatches which were received at the
India Lonfe on Friday, brought by the
Nedea packet, the contents of which have been
dtcypbeied, are said to be far frbm being of a
pleating complexion, either as they affeft the com
mercial inter Ls of the country, or the honour of
cur flap. The following is a faithful relation of
the leading circumstances contained in the above
rifyatches. On the zeth of June lad, an action
took place at sea, between the britifli and French
fleets near the Bombay coast, in which, though no
decisive advantages were gained on either tide, the
French, it is abated, were lo far victorious, as to
compel the Briulh fleet to retire into the Madras
Roads, and leave the sea to the enemy, when the
Medea frigate reached Cuddalore with the flag of
truce in consequence of the peace, # and immediately
put an end to to all further operations.—The Bri
tifli in this action confided of eighteen fail, and that
under Mons. de Suffrein of fifteen, cco mtn are
said to have been loft in the cugaffeuMW, aud 4

UNITED STATES.
BUT the following statement is superior to all
general reasonings, and myft convince the
candid end unprejudiced mind, that Americ, is
juilly entitled to conceptions from Great Britain,
equivalent to the advantages we mull forego by a
renewal of former trading connexions. We shall
begin with Spain.
A^^s which America can import cheaper from
fronCierft Britain:
Black cravats Ifrdfilx handkerchiefs of all kills
(from Barcelona^^^ velvets and other wtcM

Articles which America can import cheaper from
France than from Great Britan
Wrought liiks of ill denominations, (perhaps

variety, efpeciaily those of a middling quality,

cambricks, lawns, kentings, sewing threads, par
ticuiaily white threads, thread lace, fine and com
mon - biond and black hik lace, leather glovves and
mitts, particularly the kid and dogikin; cotton
f^bricks, of these France manu aXures a great va
riety and in considerable quantities, some of them
cheaper, lome not quite lo cheap as the Enriilh,
but all of them of a luperior quality; a few manu
faXures of iron, particularly of large nals, salt
writing paper, brandy, wines of various kinds; at
Marjci.% and the ports of France in the Medi- rs
terrain, may be had fruits, oils, and the produXs
of Italy and the Levant.—l'Orient is the great Eatt
India market, tod famifcs teas and several kinds
of Haft India ootids, cheaper than we can get them
from England. We can @fo import from thence
silk, cotton, and thread, men and women's hose.
Our exports to France are chiefly

flares, bets wax, flour, wheat, indian corn, peltry;

Dipping.
Articles which America can import cheaper from
Germany than from Great Britain.
Among these we may reckon several kinds of
linen, cotton and woollen manufactures, glass, cop
per and some iron manufa&ures.•
Cur exports to G t .my will consist chiefly of
tobacco, indigo, n?val llorcs, fpermaceti candles,
bees wax, peltry, (laves, and particularly Dipping..
Cue trade to Gerjifany will be very advantageous
to this country.
Under the articles which America can import
from Holland or the United Netherlands, cheaper
-^° ^^ Gat Eutaw, we (ball Gom^rehcud, in
order to save time, those articles also which we can
import directly from several of the northern nation#.
1 here are, ,iz.
Superfine,abroad cloths made at Leyden, kerfey.
mers or caterers, some fabricks of coarse Wooden,
Ruffi, Iheeting brown and white; drillings or drabs,
brown, white or coloured ; ravens duck, ticklen
burgh, oznaburgs, flaxen and hempen; dowlaffes

kerchiefs, taffeties, Persians, damasks, and a varie
ty of East India goods; to these may be added *
looking glasses, calicoes, chintz, brass kettles in
nelts, and brushes of all kinds.
Every export from this country comes to a read,
market in Holland, and many of them bring a bet
ter price than we can get for them elsewhere; it is
therefore^ unnecessary to go into their particular
enumeration.
I would observe on this statement, that it is not
complete, that more articles could have been added,
and that some may have crept in which may be had
on as good terms from England. It is however,
clear and extensive enough to (hew us our natural
weight and how little Great Britain fe intitled to
our exe'afae cuflom on the principle of cheapness.
It now remains to do justice to that country by a
fimilat flatement of its advantages over other coun
tries. t
Great Britain can furnilh America with the fol
lowing articles, cheaper than we Can import then#
from Holland or elsewhere, viz.
Buttons, buckles and all kinds of Birmingham
wares, knives, feiffors and Sheffield wares, a va
riety of edge tools, hard wares and ironmongery,
fveral coarse woollens, calamancoes, du r ants, tam
mies, Walloons, and most kinds of worsted piece
goods, checks, worsted and yarn flockings; the
whole of which scarcely makes one fifth of one
imports.
Charged with these fads, our commifflonters mt,
hold a candid but decisive language with the British
administration. " The prosperity of your islands
they may fay, depends absolutely upon America:
supplies, and the American consumption of their
productions. The commodities of the French
islands are cheaper than yours ; America can fell to
other countries all her exports without confuting
your,markets, and ca, get in return four fifths of
her imports on better terms than your merchant#
can afford them; it is therefore not only reasonable,
but jut, that if America Ihould put her trade in a
train of returning to your markets, that you should
grant an equivalent for'the conce^on.”%
But it may be faid,bat this country will natu
rally prefer British maitfaanres under every dif
andvantage of dearness ; for that the taste of Ameri.
A, ^ their favour— This is a Ihowy argument
