" The tyrannical monopoly of trade which England for so
lenge period has carried on in Colonial produce, and in the
goods manufactured in her own kingdom, must at length open
the eyes of the Continent, so long closed, to the measures it is
abs dutely necessary to adopt to put a speedy eanclusiota to this
traffic. This truth, which all noble minds that duly estimate
national honour cannot but feel, must at length read the veil
under which those conceal theinselvea, who consider tidy their.
private interest, or the speculations which promote it, who al-
ways sacrifice the reputation of their country to their avarice,
and intolve It in inactivity nud disinclination to industry. The
general interest of every agricultural country consists in produc-
lig in its territory the greatest quantity and the most valuable
of natural produce, and to equalize the price of sale with the
price of other nations, and quickly to circulate their new
riche,. On these principles depend the highest prosperity of a
Station : the more it is enlightened the better it koows that its
wishes might not to proceed further. It is then certain that it
can support in comfort a great population, enjoy a considerable
unkcoostant revenue, thereby increase and vary its enjoyments,•
end support a mighty power. With the objert of increasing
these advantages, and this high:degree of prosperity. and in
'order to secure for the future the wealth of year country, his
Majesty the Emperor and King has fouud it expedient, for the

on suty.equent days, Captain and Adjutant

both of the Archcnfield regiment of Local Miii:ia,
were arraigned upon the undermentioned charge:---
" For conduct unbecoming the characters of Officers and

for the purchase, and the latter for the ,ate, of the Ad;utancy
of the Arehentield regiment of Local Militia. borne time in the

The Court was of opinion, that Captain and Ad. •

WCAnTua were Guilty,
,t he former of pureliAng,
the latter of selling, the Adjutancy of the Archcn.

ing highly detrimental to the service, the Court ad.
judged that the said Captain and Adjutant Joiim
Ilicwyrr, and Quarter-Master Jurntr M'CARTIIY
should be dismissed from the Archenlidd Regiment
of Local Militia.
The Court was, however, of opinion that there
was too much reason to believe that such practices
were frequent in the Militia, and that as no Officers
had to their knowledge been brought to t General
Cowl-Martial under a similar charge, Captain and
Adjutant Ilswirp, and Quarter-Master IVL`CAR.
THY might have acted ender an impression, that
they were not off -oiling against any law or regula.

also taking into consideration the favourable testi.
