THE WEST INDIA TRADE.
We ask the attention of our reader

We ask the attention of our readers to
the annexed "British views of the colo
nial trade" as confirming completely the
arguments we have so often presented a.
gainst MIR. McLanc's arrangement, and
which the letters of Y. \. So much more
torcibly urged 1t is here admitted, that
while the trade was indirect, the naviga-
ton was in our hands, and that the OBJ
ject of the British government in concu-
ding the much vaunted treaty with us,
twas to force the trade from American
hands into those of British ship owners"
This we believe, most firmly; and do not
doubt moreover oftheir success. Anoth-
er avowed object on the part of the Brit
isb was to impose such additional duties
on the direct trade to the West Indies,
with certain EXCEPTIONS as Sin effect to
be prohibitory;" and thus force our pro-
duce into the contiguous British colonies,
whence it can be transported into British
bottoms both duty free to the West In
dies, thus aiming blow, at the naviga-
ton ofthe nation, and at the prosperity of
the state of Newly ork, SO far as it is to
be affected by dimiuntion ofits revenue
from the canal. ". Y. timer.

Our flags from the shipping in the har-
Dor, and the several military posts, were
yesterday displayed at half mast in honor
of the memory of this veteran General
of the American Revolution, whose
funeral was solemnized at 9 o'clock p.
M. AT 3 o'clock, the procession moved
from his late residence to South Nam
street, under the escort of the lndepcn-
dent Company Of Cadets. The Artil-
lcry, Volunteers and Light Infantry
followed in the rear of the corpse. On
the coffin was placed the sword given
by Congress to General Barton, for his
gallant capture of General Prescott
Minute guns were fired from the mo-
ment the procession moved, until the
aged veteran was deposited in his grave.

(says the Boston PATRIOT that Mr.. Chill
ton has an actual majority over his com
pettor for Congress, of IS votes. The
votes Of township in his favor were re-
iected on account Of their not having
been given in compliance with some OF
the formalitics, required by the laws OF
Kentucky relating to elections. MIR.

In Providence on Saturday morning last, Cen
cral WILLIAM BARTON. in the s4th, year OF
his age. TO those who intimately acquainted
with the events of the revolution the name of the
deceased must be familiar. AT an early period
in our struggle for Independence. he embarked in
the cause with an enthusiastic ardor highly hon
orable to his character ~ a Patriot; and during
the long period Of his an officer, he ey-
hibited the valuable qualities of prudence, decls-
ion aud va!our. The capture Of Gen. Prescott,
nt his quarters on Rhode Island, which was
planned and executed by Gen. Barton Uhen n
Colonel in the American Army aided by small
band Of trusty men, was one of the most hazard
ous Achievements of those times of daring. IT dis
played frnness OF nerve, iiXedness Of purpose
and an ntrepdy in conduct not surpassed by
any deed Of heroisin on the page Of history; and
when the difficulties of Il successful issue TO such
an enterprise are considered, it must be admitted
that the head which planned, and the hand which
did the deed, must have been supported by a
bosom animated with true courage, and disinter-
ested patriotism.
The services of Gen. Barton were highly ap-
Preciated and duly honored by Congress in pre-
sentng him sword and also by grant of land
in Vermont, in the transfer of some of which,
however, he unfortunately, became entanglcd in
the tolls of the law, was subjected TO numerous
and heavy expenses, which eventuated in his
imprisonment there, most unjustly, as was thought
by husef and friends lie who had contributed
much to the establishment of our independence
and free institutions, there kept, deprived of
his liberty for many years, away from his family,
with scarce a hope for enlargement, until bis
compatriot La. Fayet'e, visited this country, who
learning the situation Of his brave f,ow soldier,
with munilicence, worthy the highest praise,
opened the prison doors, and restored the hoary
veteran TO his family, and he once more visited
the scenes of his youthful enterprise, and par,ic-
rated in the society of the friends of his early
days.
/ Gen b. had been gradually falling for many
months aud on Saturday last, after week
confinement to his room, he resigned his spirit
to his God.
