and the number OF ships, for The pur.-
suit of fishery and for a general COM
merce-has monopolized the current
Of trade Of nearly all the nations of
the world. The. products of her till
age, to reach a continental market,
required navigation; and the con-
sumption Of the products of her
neigh bors, for the conveyance of such
commodities, required ships. A den
sity Of population, beyond her guam
tity of land, drove her to mechanism
and manufacture, for their occupation
and support. This source only
postponed, for it could not prevent,
restitution, -oecasioned by a crowd of
population, without any means Of
subsistence For relief then from
an onerous accumulation of inhabit-
ants, emigration and colonization be-
came urgent and Indispensable meas

The discovery Of. a new world, by the
sagacity and intrepidity of Christie

and OPPORTUNITY, a large field for en-
terprIze andIadventure, to her benefit
especially and to that of all Europe
generally. Her colonies in America,
having from great oppression and
tyranny rev olted and become an in
depend dent community, were still, with
other colonies taken from France, a
drain to her surplus population.
Under the administration Of George
Washington, the United States be-
gan to export cotton and tobacco,
which s Don became the great staples
of the European market. Shortly
afterwards sugar and coffee, corn, rice
and meat became articles of much
demand in the old world. Other In
ferior ar ieles also attracted foreign
CONNER &c, among which may be emu
mqrated hemp, flax and wool, camel
hair and silk, indigo, madden, log
wood and medicines, tea, legumes,
fruits an d products Of the dairy, iron,
coal, lumber, lead, zinc, &c, to all of
which may be superadded the pre-
cious metals. The commerce of the
old world has for a long time been
attracted or drawn to England, and
is thence disgdrged every where. It
is in a large amd unt conducted by
Canada through Halifax, Boston and
New Yor k, to th4 Northern States,
and is thence carried to the Southern
States Of this republic. England,
through the West ern Indies also car
ries it to Mexico Central America
and South America, forming a great
circle of trade through the Eastern
and Western Hemispheres. Thus
