The principai ard most interesting transaction in
Congress- since our las, report was the introduction
IN both H'uses, on Monday, oi bill 10 regulate The
com cial ittt ttcoUrse between the United States
and Gteat Britain. " The object of the bilp' says
the National lntelgencee, is TO pre- vent the admis-
sion any vessels into the ports OF The United States
alter the SOth day ni September from the Col
onies ard possessions of Great Britain, including
them ell by oame except Upper Canada with a
provision lor the suspension OF the act in either Of
two cases. viz First if the President shall re ceiye
satisfactory evidence that the ports in the British
Noionies and POSSESSIONS are open to the admission
OF vessels Of the United States, paving no higher
or other duties than those levied on British yes
sells, and that our vessels are permitted to export
theretrom the same pr oduce and on the same terms,
as British vessels then this act may be suspended
by proclamation OF the President. Secondly: the
bli proposes the provision which Mr.. Gallatin
was authorised 10 propose to The British Govern
ment VIZ that if vessels Of the United States are
admitted into the British Colonies or possessions
ps'HS M HiRner duties tnan the vessels oil Great
Britain, and permitted to export thence, to any
country except Great Britain, any articles which
British vessels may export, then The President may
declare, by proclamation, that British vessels arr-
wing in the United States from the Colonies of Great
Bi ain, shall MOI be subjected to any higher duties
than vessels Of The Unied States, SC.
From and after the date OF such proclamation, in
either case, The acts of Congress Of 1918, 1920,
and 1873, being all the acts restricting this trade,
ale declared to be repealed the effect Of which
repeal will be, TO leave tish vessels liberty to
clear from the United States TO any country what
ever as our vessels may clear thence.
The general language of this act is to ssy, to the
nish Government,ityo you will open the direct trade
between The United States and the Colonies, we will
do the same: if you insist on the circui,ous trade.
we shall follow your lead. The bill seems to be fra
med in spirit Of smy, by which also there port of
The Committee Of Commerce in each House ap
pears to be characteized. At this we are the more
gra,hed, as We are decidedly opposed to any
thing like quarrel between the two nations upon
any question such as the one involved in this con
rovcrsy, which each na,i has ndis putable right
10 act upon municipality, without offence TO the 9th
er. We have no doubt that, in the end, Great Brit
ain will see her intcres, in reiracing her steps, see
10y that the United States is entirely disposed to
ict towards her on principles Of reoiproci,y'
The bill was read twice in The House and made
the order o the day for Tuesdsy--but as the Intel
genccr containing the proceedings OF that day has
net come TO hand, we are with out Information as 10
wha was done in the case.
