The editor of the Courier speaks Of the
probable injury which the commerce of
Great Britain will sustain by their opening
the West Indies to the vessels OF the Uni
ted States. He says we shall extort from
them an employment and maintenance for
sailors, to the exclusion Of English seamen;
while possessed Of the Floridas, We will,
in the next war, annihilate their West In
dia ommerce, and force their islands to
throw themselves under our protection
and thus sap the foundation OF their naval
greatness. He adds, Reference is made
to the harmless consequences OF having
permitted the Americans 10 trade TO our
East Indian possessions. But this was
done during a war, Peace brings a differ
ent state OF things. We may yet bitterly re-
pent having allowed the Americans to en-
gross so much of the carrying trace to In
dia. If the United States prosecute our
West Indians. i; may be wise 10 exclude
them from our East India trade, that they
may feel they have something to lose in a
commercial contest With u.s."

Such is the extent to which interested
individuals have misled the public, on the
subject of war; that now il appears that The
Note OF the Refs Efendi is nothing more
nor less than the invention of some specu
lator.
