American shipping, the business of the Mediter-
ranean could be very soon monopolized by H. and
England driven oot of the trade, except on the

British ship from the Arctic seas in the whale
fishery, where the British flag has iloaed alone for
centuries; and that without any teaching except
on the spot, amidst perpetual ice and perpetual
storms but you have done the business of carrying
nelght anu passengers by steam on the rivers aud
lakes ana inland oceans of America for so many
years, that 1t exists with You in perfection. No
other country can pretend TO rival the success Of
the steamers OF the United States in inland navigi-
ton, especially on the great LAKES, which bear
strong resemblance To the Mediterranean. This
suppiantlng of England in the Mediterranean would
be grand response TO her present schcming for
Cuba AT Madrid, and her inpudent application, on
the ground OF analogy, for that coasting trade from
which you have been carefully excluded, at
Washington The coasiing trade of England EN-
ploys Just twice much tonnage as her fOreoa
trade, and she has reserved that TO herself. with
Mr. Bancroit's consent, while she asks Mr.. Clay
