ADDITIONAL OBSERVATIONS an PENAL JURIS-
PRUDENCE, &c. Cva..boards,

The rising greatness of Hayti, and the well. knowa stability of
its Government, is the strongest inducement towards the establish.
ing of this Company, as it afhirde an advantageous employment for
capital, will essentially encourage the manufacturing interests of
the United Kingdom, Increase the vent for the products of her
East India possessions, and will conic-molly contribute largely in
aid of her navigation and commerce in general.
At present, Great Britain does not participate so largely in the
trade as her means might enable her to do; and America, there-
fore, becomes the monopolist of the most valuable proportion of it,
although the command of capital with the former increases her
facilities over the latter. Confidence by British Capitalists is only
required to give energy and success in her intercourse with the
Government and the people.
It will be seen from statements taken from official documents,
parts of which have already been before the House of Commons,
and others now in the possession of his Majesty's Ministers, that
America has employed, in her trade with Hayti, in the years 1021,
1822, and 1823, on an average, 72.700 tons of shipping, and her
Exports have amounted to about 8,530,000 dollen annually;
Great Britain has not exceeded 14.000 tons of shipping, nor bare
bet Exports been beyond 3,000,000 dollars during the same period.
In the return trade, America is nearly on a par with Great
notwithstaading the markets of the former arc seldom so
favourable as the latter. In this branch of Commerce, therefore,
the British ought to receive a much larger share, as her proximity
to the Continental markets gives her superior advantages.
The Exports from the United States to Hayti, in provision and
lumber, do not exceed, It has been ascertained, 2,000,000 of dui-
hay per annum; from which it is to be inferred, that about
4,500,000 dollars consist in the manufactures of Britain and East
India productions, all of which might be supplied direct on inti-
'nicely lower terms, still leaving a fair profit to the Company.
The excess of trade in favour of America (to say nothing of
France, which, though under restrictions, enjoys a considerable
share) is the mote unaccountable, when it is known that the Bri-
tish are the favoured people by the Ilayticn Government, being
subjected to only seven per cent. imposts, whilst America and
other countries pay twelve per cent.
The Government of Hayti purchase extensively every yexrr fur
the supply of its army ; and the preference is decidedly in favour
of British manufactures, and which might be insured to the Com-
pany from the assurances of the Government to the Projectors.
I: is anticipated that the Company will receive a considerable
share of that trade which now runs through a foreign channel, anti
that, under judicious arrangemects, very handsome advantages
will fall to the Shareholders; and what must be Fleming to every
individual contributing to its stock is, that communications from
the intended Establishments in Hayti can be had twice a month,
by way of the United States, in France, or direct from thence.
It should be considered also, that this Company is purely of a
commercial character, and that it will conmbute largely to the
Revenue of Great Britain; not a visionary scheme, unsupported
by even a chance of success in its operations; but one, on the
probable success of which great reliance may be placed.
A List of the Directors, he. will be published in a few days;
in the mean time applications for Shares may be made by letter,

ing Company, at Mews. Frye and Chapman's, Bankers, St.
