thus remsrks on the relations between Great Bs'
tain and this country, regards the Colonial,
Trades.
The policy of Mr.. Canning promises to b. -
successful in respect 10 America, as il has been
in the mutual relations between aud Portugal,
France and Spain. Mr.. Canning refused to make
the intercourse between our West India Colonies.
AMI the United States, the subject of nego,a'i on
and. In doing so, lie acted with candor, and wit
spirit; for The law Of Ame lea had prescribed =
condition to that intercourse, with which Epg!act
could never comply, and with which the Amer.
can Executive had authority to dispense The
Congress seems TO be inclined recede from their
exiravasant pretensions. If, in the legislative
measure. which is stated to be now under consid
GRAFTON, for regulating the intercourse with our
Colonies, they abandon their absurd demand t. be
placed on the same footing with the Mother Coun
Try, the great bar to negotiation will be removed;
and If they are content 10 participate in the trade
Of our West Indian Islands, on the same terni>
with other countries, we doubt not but tina,
government will show every disposition TO pro-
mote the settlement by treaty ofdiff.rences of OPT
MON, or collision of interests, on these matters
Undoubtedly. in all questions touching the mutual
relations of sovereign states it is infinitely better
TO proceed by negotiation and treaty, than by &c
pArate and independent legislation. England
adopted the latter course, not BECAUSE she deemed
it in itself preferable to he former, but because
America had left her other alternative An act
Of Congress made negotiation at once impo -sille
and useless, by imposing most unjust and
travagaat preliminary condition. What other
course was then left TO US. except 10 regulate, By
act OF Parliament, so far our own interests
concerned, that which the act OF Congress render
ed it impossible TO regulate by Tiealy! When
that Objectionable act OF Congress is replaced by
more temperate and rational law, it will be the
duty OF our Ministers TO consider anew the coui
they ought TO follow.
The London Globe and Traveller of the Dist Of
February, has this paragraphs:
II 10 reported that the Ministers are willing to
adopt some suggestions TO relieve the distress Of
the ship-owners, and that various expedients are
to be submitted to them. The most prominent is
the Withdrawing OF part Of the duty on timber fro
North America, and discriminating duty on
corn imported into England, in favor of the flag
OF this country. The ship owners want also a re-
newed assurance that the ministers will not relax
relative to the intercourse between the West Indies
aud North America. These and other PROPOSE
lions will be submitted in regular manner 10 the
ministers. by the delegates from the different sea-
ports of England.
BY an address Of the House OF ssembly of New
Brunswick, TO the King, in relation to the appro
p'ation Of Revenue collections it appears that the
Custom House officers had received orders 10 re-
tain from the sums collected by them, the amount
OF their salaries thus the provincial Parliament
was deprived OF the power of appropriatiny this
portion OF its revenues. II is stated that by this
regulation E9 900 is retained by the officers, ou,

reason, observes, I" must appear the more di.pro-

Is to obtain an alteration OF the arrangement in
these respects either by reduction of the salaries
OF the Custom House officers to a relative propor-
ton with the salaries of other officers of the colo
ny, or by an order from the Imperial Government.
