what has been gained for the interest of trade
by the arrangement which is said TO have opened
the British West India ports to direct intercourse
with the United States7
Unhappily the gains may soon be numbcred
the catalogue is not long sne the advantages are
not too many to be briefly counted, nor too vast 10
be easily comprehended.
To begin negatively, the export of fish from our
ports to those of the British islands is entirely pro
bibited. North Carolina formerly sent immense
quantities of herrings to the West Indies, which
found their way to the British islands; but this
branch of trade is totally cut off
There can be no mistake, therefore in saving
that we can boast of no gain in the amount Of our
exports, in this particular.
But, said Mr.. Cambreling, in the house of reprs.
sentatives, sit is not the amount of our exports
and imports that gives value and importance to our
BRITISH West India commerce; it is the amount of
our tonnage employed in itr

OF the mattor. 1t is almost entirely question of
navigation; and have heretofore asserted that the
constant effort Of the British government was to
place the trade on such footing as that the whole
OF the supplies wanted by the West India islands.
should be carried thitboF in British vessels TO the
exclusion Of American shipping.
This has been the real contention between the
two countries; and up to the last year we had the
advantage of the game, for our flour. fish, beef
pork, wheat corn and lumber, besides debenture
goods, were carried in our vessels TO the port Of
st. Thomas, whence they were distributed to the
British islands.
The whole Of those supplies, OF nearly So were
carried IN our shipping. British navigation was
so entirely excluded from competition in this trdo

dra'on, &C. In the course of conversation with
Col Gardner, it was observed by of us, that a
list OF balances due at particular periods, was
very different matter from list of amounts orer.

important, and added, that the list had been made
out under his direction by order of the Postmaster

that the caption of the list furnished by Mr.. De-

should have been called balances and not orerdrofs
