Colonial Trade.-The Troy Sentinel. contains the
following correct views in relation to the so much talk

"There is nothing which the Opposition have made
a matter of complaint against the Administration
which they have treated more unfairly than the sub
iect of the West India Trade. Has that trade been
lost u.s. If SO, has it been lost by the fault of Gov
ment? To both questions answer decidedly, No.
We still enjoy all the advantages of that trade and
whatever might have been the result of the measures
taken no blame could, in any case, have been justly
imputed to the conduct OF our Executive. The OPP
position papers uniformly speak Of the West India
Trade as if the whole lost whereas, when the
British West India ports were all OF them open, only

ants were sent to the British West Indies And even
as to this fragment, this little remainder this one-sev-
enth part comparatively unimportant, have still
all the advantages of direct trade, and the British
themselves the Chief if not the only, sufferers,
from the intercourse they have thought proper i'm
pose. Ii is admitted all hands, that we shall
tinue to supply those Islands heretofore that the
trade will still be continued by way of the neutral
ports and under these circumstances, the expense of
the circuitous transportation must fall on the consum
err, and not the seller; the West India planters
and not the gran-growers OF the United States"
