Such is the immenfe increafe of our trade !
Daring the war, if we except the year 1793, when
the general panic in commerce and bankruptcies
that prevailed diminithed our Exports andrnsports,
the progeffive augmentation has been much more I
rapid than at any former period.
In comparing the two Tables which I have
given, the Tract confining of Exports.and Iro.
porthappears to have encreafed more rapidly than
the amount of tonnage of "hipping ; but it Is to be
obferved, that aslhips lat, on an average, twenty
years, the number newly boat is lets than the
number decayed, ruined, or taken, in the fame
Tears, and the remainder, Multiplied by twenty,
as the mature of the freak demand for flaipplog
during that period.
The number of tons of vac's confiruCted dar-
ing lait year being i 22,300, is equal to a total
tonnage of 24,400,000 (fay twenty-four millions)
which is very confiderably ahove what was the ave-
rage previous to the war. rt.is alfo to be remark-
ed; "that it is chiefly fusee the defeat of the French
Meth), Lord Howe, in. 1794 (till which time
that nation difputed with as the empire of thefeas)
that we have gained fuch a great acquifitien of
trade, and that our comMercial profperity has
outrun every expo tation even of the molt fanguine ,
and bell informed.
The above circumflance is fufficient , to prove,
'that to the war we anted a great part of our com-
merce, which, now thitpeace is re-ellitilithed, will
