E4S7I.INDIif TRADE.

to induce a '
sudden-embarkation of etpilal is it, to
any great' amount. It is a thing indefinite in its fn
cure extension, and rather made up of several parti-
cular results than presenting any fixed magnitude to
the immediate grasp of the imagination. It opens no
one large known channel, but several streams of un-
certain direction, which can only be traced and
united by patient industry and gradual experience.
For such undertakings no people arc naturally better
calculated than the British. There may, however,
be reasons for restricting them in their pursuit. We
are not of those who talk about natural and inalien-
able rights of trade. It is for Government in its wis.
dom, to say how its subjects may trade ; and its
dictates, on this subject, are as binding and impera.
tive as on any other. We mention this, because in
the vehemence of debate to which anxious hopes and
wild expectations have lately given rise, we perceive
some allusion to docrines of this nature—doctrines
as absurd as those of PAINE, or of any other reformer
in that sane school. We say, the wisdom of Govern.
ment is to decide ; but in this free country, the wis-
dom of Government, like all its other functions, does
really and substantially emanate from the people.—
The opinions of experienced and able persons come
under discussion, in various ways ; and those which
obtain most general currency and assent have always
great weight, and finally preponderate is determining
the conduct of Government.

merely to hasten the march of the troops coming
from Asia, while others imagine that he willpreceed

For the last month scarcely a day has passed with-

On the 22d February a train of artillery, consisting

PARLIAMENTARY• PROCEEDINGS.
-1

In a fortner paper we reviewed the principal mi.
ales of import from the East into this country, and
shewed that they would bear little, if any, augmen-
tation, either for domestic use, or for re.exportation.
But the carrying trade, meaning thereby to express
the whole intercourse of the Asiatic regions with each
other, as well as with other parts of the globe, re.
mains yet to be examined.
The people, who have, of late years, engaged most
extensively in adventures of this kind, are the Ame.
ricaus ; and although, at present, their speculationi
seem to be pretty much suspended, yet some account
of the very various directions in which they have
traded with Indian commodities; may serve to illus.
trate the nature of such a traffic.
To China they have not only carried specie from
Europe and hilllion from South America, but furs
from Canada, opium from Smyrna, sandalwood from
the islands near New Holland, spices from the Mo.
luccas—in short, articles of luxury from the places
p 1 their production in every part of the globe. Even
the secret and jealously closed harbours of Japan have
received American vessels from Batavia with sligar,
coffee, and spices, and have laden them with copper
for the Indian coast in retnrn. It has been observed,
that fi the coasting trade of India, in general, is car.
4 ried on by a number of merchants, native and Ett-
a ropean, who reside in the British settlements, and
send their ships to every mart insular and conti-
g nental :" end this is doubtless true, Bat the Ame.
ricans also have insinuated themselves into'the same
commerce, and with Indian and Persee interpreters
on board, have sailed to Mocha and Muscat on the
one side, and to Achen on the other, bartering at
the intermediate ports, and finding a profit in most
of their transactions. The superior 44 facility and
advantage" possessed in this trade by the Indian 're-
sidents is not in every particular quite obvious to me.
The country ships—at least those employed solely
by the native merchants—are incumbered with a great
number of sailors of a very poor description. Hence
the voyages are much longer and more insecure than
they might otherwise be, and the timidity of the ma-
riners is an inducement to piracy ; whilst few in-1
stances occur in which the pirates venture to attack
a stout armed vessel, British or American. The
supplying the European settlements with products
suited to their respective acquired tastes, demands a
peculiar attention. The descendants of Frenchmen
and Spaniards demand the brandies and wines of
France or Spain,—the Hollander his geneva, tobacco,
and beer,—the Englishman his porter and port wine.
Again, in many instances it may be foutichhat are
ciprocal supply may accommodate the wants of both
hemispheres. Jamaica rum may find a market in 1
the East, while the surplus produce of rice (when
the agricultural policy of Bengal admits of a surplus)
may supply food to the West Indian colonies. Nor
Is it only from direct voyages, but from schemes of
various combination, and of diversified experiment,
that the surest profit may eventually arise. Thus
American vessels have been fitted out first for a seal.

ing voyage, then to collect the various products of
the Southern islands ; to barter these again in China
for tea, partly for consumptiGn in the United States,
and partly for transmission to Europe. We have
spoken principally of the Anglo-Americans ; but it I
must not be forgotton, that the Spaniards, by possess.
ing the South American settlements, as well as the
Philippine Islands, possess great advantages for such
a trade as I have been describing. About forty years
ago some of the Spanish politicians turned their
thoughts to schemes of this nature; but the defective
cons: itution of their Government abroad.aod at home
was then an obstacle to their designs. A very short
spat* of time may completely change that state of
things. It is the duty of an English Minister to an.
ticipate an event so probable, and to take care that
his own countrymen should ;tot be subjected to dis.
advantages in the competition to which it might
give rise.
Upon the whole, it may b observed, that this
cpurse of trade promises no largo /Ad tempting gain,

FLAG OF TItUCE F FRANCE.
yesterday morning a Flag *'ruce arrived of
rover, with dispatches. which • , since reached
London. The receipt of this intellielbe this morn-
ing had a visible effect upon the Funds, which our
leaders will see by our• list have somewhat advanced,
Frem this it may be presumed, that the general
impression was, that the dispatches might be
considered as tending tolead some proposal for pacific
negotiations ; but of the nature of their real contents
Sot a single word has bees suffered to transpire from
the Government Offices.

We have only to remark, that before NAPOLOON
proceeded on his last hostile excursion into Germany,
proposals of peace were made to this country.—
This is his uniform practice, that he may have an
additional topic for declamation against England.—
We may infer from this, that a war with Russia is
finally determined upon, and we may expect to hear
in a day or two of BONAPARTE'S departure to join
" DOVER, APRIL 19.

* A Flag of Truce arrived off here this morning
from the French coast, and sailed again this after-
noon. The Officer who brought it was not permitted
to land, but his dispatch was put on board one of
tor gun-brigs, from whence it was sent on shore to
or Regulating Captain, and by him immediately
Irwarded to the Admiral at Deal, who sent off an
apress with it in a postchaise-and-four for London."
FROM ANOTHER-CORRESPONDENT.
" DOVER, APRIL 19.

" A Flag of Truce arrived in our Roads this day
st noon, from Calais, haying on board an Officer
eased with dispatches, which he was to deliver to
de Commander of any of our cruizers he might fall
in with ; several of them were at anchor in our roads
the arrival of the French boat, and Captain
TWEE, of the Isomer sloop, boarded her, and took
the Officer, with his dispatches, on board the sloop ;
and soon after Captain FRASER came on shore, and
et off to London express with the dispatches. The
boat has returned back to Calais. Various conjec-
tures are as usual circulating about, as to the motive
of the enemy's sending over the Flag of Truce, but
nothing certain can be learnt.

We have received Boston and other American
Papers to the 7th of March : they bring down the
proceedings of Congress to the 27th February. The
Bill authorising a loan of eleven millions of dollars,
ba% been passed. Mr. RANDOLPH made a most elo-
quent aqd forcible appeal to the good sense of the
House in favour of pacific measures. The following
is a sketch of his admirable speech :
" He deprecated the dreadful consequences of proposed war.
He asked of the Home, what new cause of war is there, that has
alt 'Altai for many years? What since Mr. Madison's mas-
a= to the chief nsagietracy What dote Mr. Munroe's return
from London ? Why is the nation to be dragged from her
rueful mooring, into the tempestuous sea of blood T The idea
of war is a wanton one. It is enough to call down upon us the
damning, of that Being, who rules the universe. It is true we
experience evils, and what nation or individual is exempt from
evils Notwithstanding this, we are the happiest people Fader
the son.

'1 He said, his heart dckens at the prospect before us. We
=mot divine et penetrate the thick veil which hides the future,
but we tray fudge correctly as to the past. If we were to go
around to the fanner, the planter, or the manufacturer, what would
either of them ray, if we were to ask them which they would
refer, a state of war for eighteen months, a part of our citizens
bleeding upon the plains of Abraham, an excise, a salt-vas, and
other odious taxes—or the peace which we have had, with the
privilege we haVe enjoyed of reUing, at a generous price, our
reheat and other productions, to feed the armies who are con-
tattling upon the bloody arena of the Peninsula. We have, in-
dLesi. had privations. The most severe ones are, however, dour
own indicting. Our Treasury, to be sure, is empty ; but it is the
consequence of our own acts. Your remedy is to repeal your
Nov-importation Act, and put the two belligerents upon err
equal footing in fact—not in words only, but in deeds. If the
spirit we bare manifested is reprehensible in an individual, how'
muds more so in a nation ? Will.you go to war in a sullen MU..
askanted—half reluctant ? The public pulse, I assure
you, must be wrought up with some other tune, before
the court.
lrt will be ripe for war.
"If tinder the wisdom and virtue which have consroule4 our
'litanies for 20 years, we bare not been obliged to enter into
War—if, under Mr. Jefferson, the idol of one party—if under Mr.
Adams. the idol of another—and if, under Mr. Washington, the •
kW (4 both, we have avoided it, I pray you to consider, under
what auspices we engage in it now ?--What is your chance ?
Being the weak party, in case of pacificadon between England
ald France, are you sure, if you should conquer Canada, that you
still sot be obliged to relinquish it to England, and the Florida,
to France ?—Or will you be so unwise, as to confide in the dura-
tion of the life of the French Emperor, or what is more, attach yourselves to his cause, and be numbered among what he calls
his Allies? He felt consoled, that he had not varied his opinion
!he state of our affairs•for several years. He was satisfied
'rith his own consistency. The forebodings, he had made some
tars since, are verified. He said, he had not come to the house
this morning to say much, but to enter his protest against Ithe
tin. As to tale*, he said, we might yore for them in shoals, but
the people would not submit to them long.
" He did not mean, that they would rebel against them ; but,
1" ihoked Gen, they were the lawgivers of the country, mad
they Will sow exe.tise their power and metal the law."

" PROM WASHINGTON, FEIBRUAIIV 21.. •
" Since my last, there has been very little business
done in Congress. The dispatches, by the Constitu-
tion, have arrived ; but not yet dislosed to the pub-
lic. It has however leaked out, that they are not
imPortAnt, or definite on any of the points of
rence between the two countries. Some few vessels
and cargoes have been delivered up, under various
circumstances ; but no repeal of the Decree: has taxes
Place, norhas Mr. larlow ejected any Treaty with the
Engtetvr.6o touch for the loug looked for dispatches."
