.I.IIERICAN CONVERCE, REVENUE, M.

We have, on former occasions, found it necessary
to endeavour to direct the attention of our country-
men to the interesting scene exhibited on the other
side of the Atlantic. We now insert cnr.tt facts re-
lative to the Commerce and Revenue of the United
States, contained in an extract from a debate in the
Loeser House of Congress, on the lt;th of Decem-
ber which will finable our readers to form
some judgment of the motives from which the Bill,
now before our own Legislature, has been requested
by the American Government. A census was taken
in 1490, and returned to Congress in the autumn of
1301, according to which the Commerce and Reve.
une have encreased in proportion much greater than
that of the population.
Getymil Sutra differed from the gentleman who spoke
last, as to the elreet uhich lie Legated to apprehend from ere
reined of this .a.z. The effect he km w would be the very
contrary, and was of s.. much Impurtance to the commie- eel
iutereits of the United States, that is was for that very reason
he willed that no delay might take place in adeptaig
iuea-
sures far our commercial seeuety. It was found, very early
after the est:oll4l=la ui our Ginernment, expedient to adopt
a system pursued, by other natini s, iu laving such duties as
wouel discriminate between our own and 4araigu wattage ;
at
that time our stripe were not aiiequat.: to carry uoe halt tai our
pioduce to foreign markets; when diserintinatieg dative were
laid, the measure appeared to act as a charm, aid be rend the
expectations of the inlet eerignitie calculatiuns of c eninercial
men, our tonitap duubied at a short period, we were not only
very soon able to carry al out own prude'.:, hut to enter
large). into trade abrea4. Other nations, atleeed Ly our sue-
ce-s, pa ticulariy Great Britain, devised ineeue to sitter into a
comeention with us in their own niaikets, and enacted.
countervailing laws, or devieed duties equal to the aliment
which we head laid on to protect our own commerce.
--rile war that hat lately ceased gave us gent advar.tag‘s ;•
fur although new tottutervailing defies, and to an extent
per •aps wit authorized lay existing treaty, were laid, yet as
their tonnage was suejeet to a hige war insurance, front
which COIN was exempt, we retained our advantage during
the war ; which having now cheeged the relative state of
thing-, as well with Great Britain as with other nations, it is
incumbent on us to provide new means to guard our trade,
and retatt%it in our own Ilands. By tee operation of the existing
laws ur Great Britain laying coutitervailing duties, they los-
ses: an advantage -o great, es to make a difference of 18
dollars in their fasuur upon the freight of every hogshead of
wheeze steppe! from our pints in a itr.tAh vessel ; they will
ther*fore hive the whole differeerc of the market-price is
their favour against American shipeers; and of consequence,
if we do not make provision to geed :-.gainst the coutineency,
toe whole in our carrying trade may go into their hands, for
every man will ship his goods for a market where he can
eff.et it on the tuna advanteeeous terms. We were circuit'-
s:envoi in the same way with reg.trd to France, where her
reguliitioni were never more disadvantageous to us than the
British, though the state of her tontrege del not leave fount
to apprehend so much. Ile had it from high authority, that
the del •reece ill favour of the French tonnage in their ports
over our, ado:Wilted to ten litres in the 100, ur about 1110 in
the hogshead of tobacco only ; from whence it was evident that
this step was necessary to be taken to bring us upon more
equal terms of trade. The commerce in toLacco to that
country is very important to us; to Great Britain we export
only 14,000 hogsheads, we export to France 40,000 hogs-
heads The present was the season to make WC of our for-
tunate situation, and to .provide such regulations as would
secure to terthat important leenres of trade; it 3 time eotrid be
let with propriety on the sub:eft, and the measures proposed
by the resolution would give its the best oppenunity. to use
the advantage. We are new in a very deferent sitoatien from
that ie which we stood on the passing of the diseriminatieg
law : at teat time we had an inscfficioney of tonnage, and it
sirs necessary to create a competent quantity; that has been
eff.eleti ; and we have now torinege sufficient to carry on all
our trade uptler judicious regulations, and it is eta interest
to
seek the mean: by which we can start U.-00 equal terms with
them in our own and an their 'torts. We are comp:teat to
enter into such a 3 amicable contest. Our strut of enterprise,
and the skill of our maritime (-items, are equal, if nut :nee-
nor to any in th: world; and it is becoming cur ciicuniftances
and situations to shun a '.art re:male warfare, while we seek a
generous emulation of skill, industry, and elder:trite. We
went to enter the parts of other aatioas much more than they
went to cuter ours. lie that call carry the cheap eat and best
will have the Advantage. We not only heed cheaper than
other maim' , but we build better, and eel with few: r heads.
We treed, th:refore, to other than espial term. to start tipuu.
a Mr. GyilietteD was still utivatiseed by the reasons Omer
by the tieueral. Ile agreed that it was desireble to secure as:
much (tithe fureigu trade as we ceted C. our uyin veesels, rend
if he could be pet-swirled that a repeat of the diserioneating
duties would affect !hat purpose, or that :Leir contintiatice
would exclude us from our uwn carryiifg trail he WOll4l as-
suredly vote for the reselutiun. But lie Mead nathing
to
satisfy him Ise teat point. With Great Bream, lie beheeed,
nu such isseaeure could be effected in that way, and he qui-e-
-nemy' if it well prove more asiestiteeetus wale other 'rations,
as they pursti • their own measures, whatever laws we Might
adopt or repeal. It was true. that in Great Britain our tubat'co
trade wa. stioietted to the d.sadvantage ui heavy duties ; but it
s'tould be rectilerded, that comparatteely little is unt-
sawed in Great the. Nuittt ;HA other, Flits of
Europe tile winsuoiption w. s ntuzli greater. Tobacco landed
in England. therefore. Was not all eubjeeted to their heavy
rluies, because whatever was expiated haA the duties returned
by way of Araw back ; sa that our tobac:o trade thither in /tine-
ficall but outs stood exactly upon the *Ante c:airges to which the
Br.tith button's are subjezted. If we repeat the law laying
disc:initiating duties, then we permit British shins to mine
lino cur ;sets upon equal *muss with our own, and the con-
quette will be, that they will than become dur carriers.
In France, likewise, there is little likelihood of advantage ac-
cruing by the repeal. Ira fleet coutery, the tebecto trade west

that we should mot be likely to obtain better units by the re-
peal of our law. If we could c..aret the carnage of our cent-
tweets try any reasonable measures, it would make him very

One of the greatest advantages of the constituent
form is particularly felt by those of its members who
have einbraced in their studies different branches of
human knewle.lge. Th.: different setions which
compose each of the classes, make between them a
sort cf inte..ior commerce of information, which
turns to the amusement and profit of all. It is thus
that Citizen Levesque has passed from his historical
labours to researches analogous to those of thesec-
tion of the analysis of sensations and ideas, in a me-
moir on the formation of laeguage considered with.
reference to the most simple elements of the Greekf
tongue. He admits that men at first had recourse
to pantomimic representation, but he does not agree
that it led them to the adoption of oral language,
because pantomimic sign; have no organic relation;
to vocal signs. But Nature has oedeieed, that,
by the mere aspiration of the air which fills our
lungs, we should render minds which gramnfariane
denominate vowels. Anions every people these
aspirations, or exclamations, tip. us the different.
manner in which we arc affefted ; aspirations, more
or less rude, are joined to them ; the emissions of
them arc more or less lively or slow, more or less
acute or gf ave, more or lass open or dull,_eccordieg
to the charadicr or inteasity of the affections thei ex-
press. It is that which the author calls the ka:urd
language; it enriched itself by the adjunEtion of soma
consonants, which children, and cons.eluently sa-
vages, naturally pronounce, and render significative.
The fecundity of its roots is proved by the great
number of Greek words, which if you take the ter-
mination from, consist only of simple emissions of
the voice, or f some syllables familiar to children.
To this natural language was soon added what the
author calls acquired kvirage: it has for its elements
the different noises winch are excited *liv dilfe.rtee
movements, as those of air, water, a light or heavy
fell, the cries of animals, &c. " Men have learut
this language, by frequeuting Nature as you learn a
foreign language by frequenting those who speak
it. The Creek language, particu!arly in Homer,
is rich in these imitations." further detail.; on this
theory would carry us too far, and would be here
n.isplaccd.
