In 1622, they had increased to

711,450 pieces, 28 yards each.*
Besides which, we are now shipping to India considerable quanti-
ties of Cotton Twist. What, then, would be the extent of the
Trade with British India, were the produce from that country
put upou a fair footing, as regards Import Duties, with the pro-
duce of our other Colonies?

It may be objected by some, that our Government is in no
situation to reduce the Revenue ;—but, on a little reflection, it
will appear beyond a doubt, that as any increased export of the
inanufactares of this country to the East Indies, will enable the
people of England to consume en increased quantity of their pro-
duce, which should be received in return, the revenue must be
greatly benefited by the change.
Let it not, however, be imagined, that the sacrifice as stated
above, enormously great as it is, is the whole of the burden which
is imposed upon this country, to enable the Planter of the West
Indies to continue the ruinous system of Slave Cultivation, (which,
without such support, he would long ago have been forced to
abandon,) we will mention one single item more.—" The ex-
pence of our Slave Colonies during the year 182 t, a year of pro-
found peace, for naval and military defence, and other contingen-
cies, amounted to upwards of One Million Six Hundred Thousand
Pounds, and this is an expense which is going on from year to
)ear."-1--3fanchestsr Gazette.
