DATED MARCH 20.

41 We shall rejoice to see our trade with the British
Colonies renewed upon a good footing ; but if, as it
has been rumoured, and as we may reasonably cal-
culate, our commerce with them is to be burthened
with heavy discriminating duties, the advantage to
us will Le, in reality, no greater than if they were
closed against us : our vessels will still continue vir-
tually excluded frornthe British ports, while theirs
will engross the whole of the carriage of our produc-
tions. The trade of Canada appears to have been
considerably less last year than the year preceding :
there was a considerable falling off in lumber : the
freighting is Erincipally done by vessels owned in
Great Britain.

DUEL IN HIGH Lift.
•
. MATH= PARTICULARS. •
Previous to the duel between the Dukes of tto.
FORD and BUCICIEGIIAM, which we announced y.
terday, a correspondence took place between the pas,
ties, which terminated in an appointment fnr a meet.
iag. This took place early yesterday morning in
Kensington Gardens. The endeavours of the seconds
proving fruitless, the parties, by agreement, fired to,
gether, the Duke of BEDFORD in the air. Some con,
rersation took place between the seconds, and his
Grace of BEDFORD, in the handsomest manner, et.
plained himself, and they left the ground, we trust,
with good will to each other.
The following is that part of the Duke of BE,
FORD'S speech at the late County Meeting, which it
said to have given offence to the Duke of BiICEIN3.
HAM, and oceasioned the meeting of yesterday. Ti't
Duke of BEDFORD said—

" He would now advert to another transaction, which he was
almost ashamed to mention—he alluded to a great Borough-i%.
prietor, now a Noble Duke, late a Noble Marquis, who-.
vices, and the services of whose adherents in PatUument, lt•tn
purchased by Government—had been purchased by conftrrirs
high oltees on these adherents. It was an odious task to
don these circumstances ; but he introduced them for the
pose of asking whether, if a Reform bad been effected ia.P.:r-
liatttent, such transactions could possibly happen? The N.,'11
Duke's family. and connections were, of course, sent kick
their constituents, when they accepted of place ; because, by tle
Act of Parliament, it was provided, that when a Member of !1:,
House of Commons took an office under Government, he El:::
return to his crmstitvents to know whether they would
would not re-elect him. But how were the individuals is
question sent back ? Thcy were nut sent back to the pr •
of England—they were rot sent back to those who were :-
to choose or to reject them—no, they wire sent back to t.:
Borough Proprietor, to their own Patron, to the person who F.
engaged in the corrupt traffic, who bad in fact made ;be bari:::.;
with Ministers--(Cheers). Ile would again ask, could su:h
circumstance possibly occur, if a Ilcform was effect.Lti :I.:
Commons House of Parliament?"--(Applause.)

Relasces benefit took place yesterday at -the Royal Tic 7.-!
Court, Great Windmill-street.
The speechifying on the subject of the fight b-ing off hr,:reen
Martin and Beflasco, was an interesting part; Belasco said hewn;
ready to fight Martin on Tuesday nest, the kLy appoirted fz:
the fight for 100 guineas, as hi, backer had been humithd on th:
day the stakes were to have been made, and his ILL/. becam:
forfeited, and that match was off.

Martin mounted the stage, and said he had received the rm.
feited IOOL and that he would fight Belasco on Tuesday fa:;.
night, for 200/. He was not in a condition to fight earlier, :s
he had been up four nights.

After some more chilling, Martin produced some flintsies, and
said he would fight on Tuesday next. 'Masco referred him ;a
