Our correspondents in Kingston igform
tat business there since the PEACE has
become exceedingly fat and the Amer
cans have again commenced running III
almost every tescriI tion OF their domestic
manufactures. such as leather, PAPER, hsts
and all their petty nsti0ns. Upper Ca
Eada will soon be inundated with Ameri-
can Iron and nearly every article which
comes in con- rct;tion with what is impor-
ed IRON the mother ceuntry.--It is sup
posed that the Americans Rave already
made sales to TIE amount CT 5G,0CC dol
lars in Kingston ard have gone home
with the money, as they want 70 kind of
commodities in exchange. They take
car army bills. which will really pass
in Albany and New YORK. at a small dis
count. Tie Americans are also iecome
carriers for US on Lake Ontario; two OF
their vessels had left Kingston for the
head Of the lake: with goods and govern
ment stores.
In tie port of Montreal they begin to
make figure. A large boat from Black
River, arrived some days ago loaded with
-four. This ought to excite no Jealousy:
let our neishbors bring as much wheat;
-four beef, pork, pot and pearl ashes, but
ter and cheese, as they choose, fer those
articles create a valuable carrying trade
to our sister colonies.
A short time will determine the policy
that will be pursued in the British West
Indies,as to supplies of lumber and pro
visions. Two wars and an American
embargo, accompanied with various re-
strictions, have proved that our West
India Islands, are completely indepen-
dent OF the United States for supplies of
whatever description, and that too at TO
very great advance in price from former
periods. tits to be hoped that when
Government permits TIE Governors OF
those Islands to issue proclamaticns,
during times ofpartial scarcity of prov!-
visions, &c. that the importations shall be
made in British bottoms only, come tie
produce from whatever quarter as it
would be political suicide to give foreign
nation the double advantage Of a sale ter
its productions, and tie carryiEgo of them
also. If the Americans are suffered to
supply the British West India Islands.
the Canadas will be thrown back to tie
condition in which they were e5 or so
years ago. Er,aPe in peace can ahun-
dainty supply itself every where, ard tie
wheat of Canada I, III no where fgd q
market if above SIS Cd basket, ard not
stave will be shipped. EXCEPT a few
slaves lor Ire IGltuGdi Hiarhet. Ut
otherwise would tie case BE, if America
is restricted. Tie St. Lawrence would
be tie outlet for the produce OF Vermont,
the Western and mcst valuable part Oh
the state of New-York, and even part OF
Pennsylvania, which stretches to within
few miles Of the Karbor Of Erie, above
Buffalo.
