" Some circumstances are working i'm
favour of America, with regard to the du-
ties; il is found by the laR years account
tranfmittcd by the Comm1ioners that the
balance in favour OF Britain is but about
eighty-five pounds, after payment of fala-
ries, &c. executive of the charge of a Acct
10 enforce the colleefion.-It is further OBJ
ierved, that the India Company is 70 out
of Cath that it cannot pay the bills drawn
upon it, and at the fame time 70 out of cree
dit that the bank does not care to aaift
them; whence they find themfelves obliged
to lower their dividend, the apprehension of
which has funk their flock from $50 to 100,
whereby feveral millions of property are an
initiated, occafioning private bankruptcies
and other diltrels, beiides lois to the pub
lie treafury Of c. 100000 per ann. which
the company BY agreement are not to pay
into it as heretofore, if they are not able to
keep up their dividend at I211; and as they
have at the fame time tea and other India
goods in their warehouses, to the amount
of four millions as Gome FAY, for which they
want market, and which if it had been
fold, would have kept up their credit. This
fhews the great importance of loGng the A
merican market, BY keeping up the duties
on tea, which has thrown the trade into the
hands offoreigners. This gives fome alarm
and begins to convince people more and
more of the impropriety ofquarrelling with
the Americans"
