prohibiting the Importation os fundry articles of Br

init, relative to our trade with the Bri,ilh Wen To-
dies lie did not mean this time dfcufs the fb
Ject, either 10 far it connected with the nro
petitions Of the gentleman from MARYLAND, or with
that oi the gentleman from PENNY lvaa, which wer,
to i much greater extent. But with regard to ON.
idea exPreiied by the gentleman from MARYLAND he
thought 1t proper to fay few words That yeu
teman has obierved that the proportion offered by
the gentleman from Pennsylvania would afIeea ,ba
revenue to the amount of five million, of dollars.
and therefore impreiied upon the Houle the duty of
being extremely cautious in taking luch Rep. Mr.

poition would afea the to any fueh extern,

Britain has adopted curious commercial principle
oottomsd on the principle of her navigation act
which in time of peace amoR amounts to a prohibi-

ana which IN time OF war opens the ports of few Of
her Hands for the introduction of particular article,
Tor three or fix months. Mr. c. faid he ,vi{bed y,
lee tins trade permanently opea the citizens of the
