either of peace or war, would have been a..
ed between Russia and Turkey. But .s I
been the case for year past, the same mn, ~
tainty, and the same fiuctuation of feelina :.
opinion regarding the result of their d;sss' sas
prevailed at the latest dates from England. ~
men are still at liberty to indulge their ~
and speculations on this suh:' ~
important and interesting as it certainly ~
Europe, and even to this country.
A subject ofperhaps as deep interest to n,
any that is now likely to engage the att,os'
of the public, is that of the trade between y I
United States and the West Indies. On
2Sth of March, Mr.. Canning presented ! ~.
ton from certain West india proprietors ~ =,
merchants resident at Liverpool, complain
of the depression under which all descr;n,;.
of West India produce laboured, and suecs I
ing. among other remedies, ssthe OPENING es n
commercial intercourse betaoeem the Hest isxs
colonies and tie United States of Ame,;"a .
Upon offering the petition he remarked tss
he understood g such a measure mould be b.,
before tie house to-mOr1Otc 1.-THE 29thl bu ii
Prssidentof the Board Of Trade Upon A.
aiming the proceedings of the 29th report,t;
the Courier of the 30th, we do not find H.
any thing further took place on that day. %,
the measure, proceeding from the quarter h.
it did, is entitled to more than ordinary att,, I
ton. For although Mr.. Canning is not in d. !
Ministry, yet he generally acts with then. ,I|l
doubtless on all subjects of general policy us
sesses their confidence, or at least coiuea,
with them in their political views and n.,
ures.
Should the British parliament adopt d,
measure, and again open their islands to or.
trade, it would have most important eff.
upon our country. By the loss of the Ws
India trade, the middle and eastern states s
fered most material injury; and in New En-,
land, in those parts ofthe country where il VIZ
carried on with the greatest activity, therein
visible marks of languor and decay, wbit
plainly show that loss to be of a very serosi
nature. The various articles exported to d,
West lDdies, were easily raised in those stats
in great abundance, and almost for the %,
purpose of supplying those colonies Havnl
no demand for them for any other mark
they become of no use, and for several yss
past they have ceased to be objects of attentu
and of course are not raised. The opening
this trade would soon revive the activity of Ii.
inhabitants and few years would change
aspect of their affairs most essentially for Ii
better.
On the 10Th of March, Mr.. Canning ems
notice, in the House of Commons, that sol
the 30th Of April he should move for leave D.,
bring in bill to repeal SO much of the act 4
the 30th Charles | |, as debarred Catholic pssn
from sitting in the House ofLords. In gnn;
this notice he begged to repeat, that it WASH
his intention in any degree to prejudice or D. /,
terfere with the great question as whole N
that he would lend his most cheerful support
but as it was not vet decided whether asf
would be introduced this session, he thOtl5
right to give this specific notice 1t was 4
also, and due to the noble persons whose n,s
ests were concerned both in this and in To
general question, to declare in public anf
solemn manner, and upon his honour, that b
had heldno communication, direct or indirse
with them upon the subject of the present no

ssThe bill to regulate the trade with the We''
Indies, does not appear, by the proceedings y:
Parliament, on the 29th ult. to have ben
brought in pro forma, although no debate t'0I
place upon it. A proposition has been assem- s
ed to in the agricultural committee, to aIN'
foreign wheat in bond to be ground into heu'
bond being given to export Sc lbs. Of suPerhn
-four for every 20 lbs wheat taken out. 1hs'|
is not, we believe, any fresh -four now in ur|
market unsold, but you win be aware thaI
ter the passing of the act above mentioned, 81
vent for export will be considerably DIMINISHED
and after September, the export to Newt0'''
land ceases.
