TRADE OF HAY 7 L

FROM TUE PHILADELPHIA GAZETTE.
A Gentleman has furnished us with a statement of
the trade of Port-au-Prince during the last year, from
which an idea may be formed of the great and growing
impottance of the commerce of this island. It will be
recollected that there are twelve or thirteen other ports
at which foreign vessels are permitted to enter.
The statement is by no means full, as no account is
taken of lumber, Indian and European goods, and other
articles shipped from America. If these were added
together, the total would be, 1,200,000 dollars, and it
would be found that one-third of the receipts into the
Treasury are paid by citizens of the United States. It
is proper to observe that much of the coffee exported to
France is on American account, and that the Americans
are customers of the Haytians for fall one•third of the
exportable produce.
Even when there was a discriminating duty of five
per cent. in favour of the English, our merchants found
a yen; in Hayti for some European and Indian goods,
and during the last year for domestic cottons. How
important must this trade become to both countries now
that the duties are equalized.
