Joy this s. Boon" of the British Goernment IS
contained in the act Of Constss, passed On the
3Oth May last. My objectin troubling you at thts
time is to inquire as to the price we have paid
for the privilege. Being some what of practical
man, always endavor TO look as far towards the
result of measures as practicable and in this case

that the West India fleets heretofore, have gone
out mostly in ballast for return cargoes. T!is
