try We perceive by the latest arrivals that Sir Henry
ulwer the representative OF Great Britain ut Wash
gton has addressed two letters to Mr. Clayton the &C.
cretary Of Foreign Affairs to the Republic OF the United
states In the first. Cir Henry begs know whether
the United States All permit British ship TO trade
with California the same terms American ship
The President instrucs sir Clayton TO lay the letter
before Congress.
Here chen. IS blunder at the very beginning.
Why question Of 70 much importance not settled
before the repeal 81 the navigation laws An Anne
rcan ship can come TO Liverpool and carry cargo 10
the East lndes, or any Of our colonies; but having
entered for Liverpool she cannot proceed WITH any
cargo 60 Glasgow or London. This would be deemed
an iniIacton OF our eoasting trade regulations On
the other hand British ship cannot carry cargo from
New York TO California or from any port in toe
United States TO another, for that would be breach
OF their coasting laws California II not colony OF
the United states as Jamaica is Of England II is
part of the territory the United statesa distant
settlement II rs true but still part OF the main land
An American ship can bring freight from New York to
LNcrpool-load there for -discharge that
and bring a cargo from Canada 10 Jamaica. That was
free-will gfte proof Of our undoubied iberalty
But Liverpool ship cannot take freight TO New York,
and cargo from thence to New Orleans or san Francisco
This j. the ia in which Dir Labouchere has placed
us and is to BE- extrieated nom II that SIR Henry
