A QUERE TO THE KNOWING ONES.
Has our CoMMERcE suffered most from the
oppressive laws of Grect Britain, those OF
Frhncf, or those of our ozun government! 81
We should be happy to sse far estimate
made of it. 1t would not indeed 6 tell we'll In
history it would afford a very useful
piece Of information to the American people.
Ulster Gazette.
A late Montreal paper says " adyices were
received on Thursday last by one of the most
respectable houses in this city, that on the 9th
inst. the British schooner Lord Nelson, on her
voyage from Prescott to Niagara, laden entire
ly with British property, was boarded by the
American armed vessel the Oneida, on Lake
Ontario, and taken into Sacket Harbour, dis
mantled and the property on board seized
The pretext set up for this new and unwar-
rantable conduct is, that this vessels papers
were not satisfactory to the American officer
with respect to the destination Of the British
vessel, and that she had no clearance from
any custom house. Now it is we'll known by
US all, as well as by the Americans, that there
is no law in Upper Canada obliging vessels to
clear out and indeed, such law would APP
pear superauous in an inland navigation like
that of the Lakes. Since the above, has been
captured by an American armed boat, the sch.
Ontario, said to belong to cur good friends
Patriot Porter from Niagara to Prescott, load-
ed with -four, belonging to British SUBJECTS
She was carried into Gravelly Point, below
Carleton Island. This vessel had left the u
States previous to the enactment of the ems
barge. The reason given for this second ne
farious act, by the boarding officer, was, that
he SUSPECTED her."
