MANY CITIZENS
The Colonial Trdde.-We recently adjuccd n mass
OF testimony to how, that the hopes of the rcstora
ton of the Yves, India trade, begottcn by the Pres.
itent's Message, and MIR. Cambreleng's bill, were
unreal, and that there nothing in Mr. McLanes
dispatches to government in his private letters
Justify the expectation. Our contemporaries in this
city since that, have republished statement from
The Albany Argus, putting another face upon the
matter, and calculated to revive public expecta ton
Mr. McLane's success. Individually, we put nc
faith IN the statement drawn from the Argus as tho
distance Of that pri; fion the Seat of Government
renders it very improbable, tina. lis Editors should be
well informed. while every body the spot, was in
the darf. In confirmation of this we call attention
to the following, from the ". Y. Commercial
Harsbug-Thc Albany Argus has taken upon itscl
to contradict our statement of the character of Mr.
Ml.ane's dispatches received by the Canada, and
sent to congress by Gen. Jackson the day when
the bill! relating to the West India trade passed. Mr.
Croswell attempts to shuttle off his blunder upon :he
public, by saying that tho last dispatches from III r.
MLane, did not reach w ashington till the ny after
the bill passed This trick will not answer the pur-
pose We assert again that The President did nd to
Congress the dispatches received by the Can,da
from Mr.. NJ Lane. which arrived at Washing on on
the very day the bill passed. and that they contained
nothing which showed any prospect of TN arrange
uent with the British government. The news of the
arrival fthc Napoleon reached Washin. ton the day
after, and Mr. Croswel has lnij hold of that to i'm
pose upon the public his assertion that some new &C.
counts had come from Mr.. M'Lane showing differ.

not likely that we should have found out frs, from
Albany. 1t is oihing more than fetch TO save Mr.
Van Burens "drowning honor" Mr. e.. had better
give us the names OF the members of Congress who
gave him his information than make his assertions
on his own credit.
But in forming coni,ctures of the result OF
Mr.. McLanes negotiation, ascend to a p,iori rea
,sonng. Why should England consent to give the U
States a direct trade to her West India Islands? Eli
thor it to her interest yield them that trade or il
is not If to her interest, why has she long with
held it, against the circumstances and solicitations
Of our Government! If against her interest il
is manifest from the whole tenor Of English com
mercia policy, rgdy and orably selfish that she
will not grant the boon without valuable considcra
tion IF Mr. McI-ane succeeds, may know that
he has had to pay for his success. Here touch
tender point. What arc Mr. McLanc's instructions
How much and what part of the internal policy o
the U. States, ia he authorized to hold out
temptation and price, for the Grafton oihe cello
nial trade? ! England requires valuable considcra
ton, whit have to offer her, hut sacrifice o
what is called the American System, in whole III
part? Nothing. We have already offered her every
thing reciprocity, and the footing Of the mos
favored notions.
The rirh, OF the Executive If it has done SOY to
make the laws of thesU States touching her dorncs
TIC economy, subject of foreign negotiations is
question with which we do not moan TO mcddlc.

Encyclopedia americana The third volume o
this excellent work has appeared, from the Press o
Cary g. Lea, of Philadelphia.
The style Of tho articles, is for the most part excel
lent and sample, we rcpubsh the article Corse,
and request for it, the pcrusal of fair readers
who will find much to amusc and to instruct them.
The Encyclopedia is certainly superior we think
TO any American attempt of the kind and will, W.
hope, meet with the success it deserves.
