TRADE WITH CHILI.

Chili is more favoured by nature than any
other country in the New World; it combines
with fertility of soil, mines rich with the precious
metals, salubrity of climate, and the temperature
of the finest countries of Europe. But being
situated on the west of the American continent,
beyond the tempestuous ocean which lashes
Cape Horn, Chili has been neglected, and until
within these few years has, with regard to com-
merce, been almost unknown.

Situated in the southern hemisphere, it ex-
tends from 24 to 44 degrees of latitude ; its
length is 467 leagues ; in breadth it varies from
70 to 150 leagues, from the Andes to the ocean.
The extent of the land is estimated at 16,000
square leagues, which is about equal to Spain.
The population is 600,000, being less than 38
persons per square league, if equally calculated
through this immense country. Chili had been
a province of Spain for three centuries.
One would think that with a population which
does not exceed one of our counties, this country
must be very limited in commercial extent.
However, such are the nature and the abutitl•
ance of the produce, that she has assumed a
rank among the American States which already
attracts the notice of the commercial world.
The principal exports are raw hides, copper of
excellent quality, yellow bark, dye woods, furs,
cocoa, indigo, sugar, wool, precious stones, and
gold and silver in ingots. Formerly these metals
furnished an export cf four millions, but it now
seems that the copper-mines are the most ad-
vantageous. They yield, at least, 60,000 quin-
tals, amounting to an annual sale of from four
to five millions. The Calcutta market is sup-
plied from this. Returns are made in cottons,
linens, silks, perfumery, and various articles of
European industry. Wines and other articles
of consumption pay a trifling duty ; in 1829,
vessels from the United States, imported into
Chili 1,200,0001. worth of grain. Since 1819
the commercial intercourse with England has in-
creased ten-fold. According to the manifests,
England sells goods to the extent 0f12,765,000f.
and the United States 7,500,0001.

France, which is always anticipated in new i
markets by England and the United States, only
commenced in 1824 to trade with Chili. In
1827 five or six vessels only sailed thither, but
this number has since been doubled, and 3,000
tons burden are now engaged in the trade. The
value is uncertain, because it includes the pre-
cious metals and stones. If we estimate by our
reports, it varies for the last four years from
between two to three millions. At its highest,
in 1829, it reached three millions and a half--
our imports amounted to four millions eight
hundred thousand francs.

The commerce of Chili with England, the
United States, and France, annually amounts in
value to about twenty-five millions of francs of
Imports ; the exports are greater. England has
a full half of the trade, the United States about
a third, and France the remainder.

It is clear that much ought to be done to
bring into action the resources of this beautiful
country ; special encouragement should be given
to mariners whose enterprize may lead them
beyond Cape Horn ; every facility and aid granted
where the navigation is so dangerous and tedious ;
bounties should be given and rewards granted to
any mariner who shall cross the Atlantic and
double Cape Horn three times ; the Order of
the Legion of Honour should be given to any
Commander who may be so enterprising as to
open such a channel for the sale of our manu-
factures, and such sources of commercial pros-
perity.—Journal du Commerce.
