GUILDII A LL.—Arespedable mtrchant,ofThomel-
ttrect, 11),>eared before the Sitteig Alagistrate4ac4
companed by Griffiths, an Officer belorrging to the
Public Office, \V .rsbip-street; having in- custody ,
three men, to whom a suspicion attac;ted of having
-robbed the Ge,.tletuan's house. •
It appeared that the Prosecutor's house _had
undZ.rgone a repair, while he, with:his family-, were
in the country; anti that the Prisoners had: been em-
ployed as workmen in executing' these repairs.—
Soon atter resuming the possession of his house,
the Prosecutor ered that some books , of great
value to him- ,were missing. By the: aaivity of
Griffiths, circumstances were dkoyered'-Avhich
caused suspicion to tall an the Prisoners, whom he,
of Course, took into custody.
• .O:le of the Prisoners Was silent. The other two
seemed to adroit their'being accessaries, to the theft,
by-appealing to the !cQuipassion of the Prosecutor on
ace,onnt t having large families..
, The Prosecutor said he had:no other .wi,sh but to
recover his books, which., were to him; of import-
. aitte. The,Priseners -seetned,to shew.,a,.disposition
to do him all the justice -now in their power ; he

Clial transadion, either ifiAant or near, either by sea
or by land, in which ,the inhabitants..of any parti,
cubit'. country engage beyond the limits of their own
dominions. The most simple mode of Commerce,,
and at the same time the most complete, consists in
the exchange made between neighbouring countries
of their natural produetions, for mutual consumpi ion.
In this Commerce the aid of manufadurers is not
required, nor
.the labour or inconvenience of trans-
port and conveyance; nor the mutual agenq of mer-
chants and fa6.tors, who boy to sell again.
The first producer and the last consumer of the
different commodities are the necessary agents is
every species of commercial operations. In the early
ages of the world, the tiller of the lind gave hi*
grain and vegetables to the shepherds, and .received
in return either milk or ,Wool. He who colleted
wax or .honey in the woods, made an exchange for
the different fruits which his neighbour gathered its ,
the fields, or produced by his own euitivation.—
Commerce by means of barter still exists in many
countries; there are even parts of Europe, towards
the North, from which it is not totally banished; as-
Siberia, and Danish and Russian Lapland. At
Archangel also, English, French, and Dutch mer- •
chants have been seen .to barter their merchandize
with • the Russians for the. raw materials and produce
of their country. Many tribes on the coast of Africa,
and almost the whole of the savage tribes of America,
and some of Asia, still preserve the custom of pert-
ing with the surplus of their produce, •in order to
receive tri return the commodities w hieh they can-
not find among thentst'sS. It is not exai'.'lly
when the commerce of buying and. selling first took
place, .nor when the. first usuage of money, or gold,
silver, or copper, was introdueed: ;Money at tirA
consisted of wood; leather, and iron. At Sparta,
Reme, and among the Gaul's, and eveu in some parts .
of India, it was uitial to affix a certain .value to small
shells, and.other. tritling..articles, and to el:chain.'
them for tnerchandiz(7., drugs, and whatever C00.14130.-*
dities they might desire:to purchase.
Solite writers on political economy have endca-
voUred to banish the word Commerce from our laa
gutage, because that word does not include the . busi-
ness of agriculture. This must arise tram prejudice,
or wilful misapprehension, because the word Coal-'
merce„,. generally speaking, embraces all the °Weds
which are exchanged and communit;atel, bet ws:ea
