The Continuation of this List will be forwarded by the last
ships. Great uneasiness prevails that Government intend to
lay a duty on Timber from these Colonies : if they do, it will
annihilate the trade, and do irreparable mischief—but more
so to the English Ship-owners than ourselves. What a fa-
tality attaches to these Loyal Colonies. If they are not en-
titled to more consideration from Ministers, surely the hit,
portvce of the.trade, as a great•nursery for Seanielf,TOtight
not to be overlooked or disregarded.

THE AMERICAN CANAL.

(From " The Quebec Gazette.")

" The following article is copied from the Al-
bany Gazette and Daily Advertiser, of the 9th inst.

•
Albany, Oct. 9.
' One very strong argument which has been
repeatedly urged in favour of the immediate con-
struction of the Great Western Canal, is, the cer-
tainty, that unless we take prompt and efficient
measures to secure the trade of the western part
of this State, and to bring the, produce of that
vast and fertile region, which is now so rapidly
populating, to our market, we shall ultimately lose
the whole;—because, when the trade becomes
completely turned down the St. Lawrence to
Montreal and Quebec, it will be out of our power

cessity or luxury that could be required. The Ca-
nal completed. and the whole of this produce will
be secured to the *markets of Albany and New
York. Owing to the difficulty and tardiness of
transportation from, /itifialo and Canandaigua to
Albany, the greater part of the. western pro,ditee
is now sent to Montreal market. It is a fact, that,
between the Ist day of May, and the Ist of Ati;-f.
gust, a space of three months only, a single carry-
ing house in Ogdensbuigh transported from that
place to Montreal the enormous quantity of forty
thousand barrels of -flour ! This fact, of itself,
speaks volumes
_in favour of the canal.'
" The Canal in question is actually begun and
speedily completing.—We cannot blame the Ame-
ricans for attending to their interests : on the con-
trary, exertions which tend to incre4se the facili-
ties of mankind for exchanging the produce of
their industry, and thereby contribute to the ge-
neral advantage, will ultimately obtain, as they
deserve, general praiie. Those who choose to
live in indoleuccorignoranee may complain ; but
they will have tfkiir complaints for their pains;
with poretty they. will have weakness, with weak-
ness, contempt. Measures have been suggested,
steps have been taken, to enable THIS PROVINCE
to enter into the noble Odd of competition with
the Atlantic. Americans for the commerce of the
Western countries. What has been done we know
not : what might, be done, we conceive, is consi-
derable. Nature has favoured us. It we do not
avail ourselves of her bounty, we shall have onr•
selves to blame : we shall also have our reward,"

What a field do these suggestions open to our
view, if Ministers would but attend to them !
What an opening for the EXPORT of British
Ma-
nufactures do these vast and rapidly populating
Regions afford, if encouragement is given to the
King's Colonies !—At present, upwards of 1200
sail of ships are employed in the timber trade from.
thence, and their numbers would increase, if a
.sound and generous policy were adopted towards
them ; so that, in addition to the incease of the
.•
Tonnage of the• country, would an increase of
our Exports take place; and the whole of the
operation in shipping and cargoes being British,
the profit resulting froin them would centre at
home, and increase the. trading capital of the Em-
pire, whilSt it gave cmployment to thousands of
our fellow citizens.

Wales, dated April 26. The colony was going
