Bradford's Springs.
TT is a circumstance of60 small impor?
-?-portance to the citizens of this State to
have a convenient and healthy situation, to
which they can hate access during the
Summer sod Autumnal months.
The Bradford Spring* at this time, ex*
hibit such a situation-. The buildings,
here, are capacious and convenient; and
are as well calculated for the accommoda
tion of thfc delicate and infirm, as those
who are in search of pleasure.
The situation is, probably, one of the
most eligible that this country afTo rtU
ThceWVatlon is tonaiderably above the
common level of the surface. The rise
and declivity ot the hill ia gradual and re
gular : and its Summit stftooth and un
broken* The springs empty out of the
basis of the hill, at different apertures,
where it abrubtly breaks off, in almost, a
perpendicular descent.
Tlie water is a strong mineral. It is
transparent and palatable. The ingredi
ents which form the composition of this
mineral, have not yetireen accurately as
certained by chymical analysis. A few
individuals have annually visited those
Springs, and those alotie, can form an ad
equate idea of the advantage whicn results
from attending them: .
The ruinous condition of ihe buildings
in all probability, and the want of accom
modation has, hitherto, prevented s num
ber of persons from attending these Springs.
But the subscriber flatters himself that he
is now, well prepared for the accommoda
tion of a number of persons* And he I
pledges himself to spare no exertions to
render the situation of all those who attend 1
these Springs both comfortable and agree

LONDON, APRIL SI.
A general gloom appears to hang
over the country, in consequence of
the stagnation of trade, the scarceity
of money, the frequent and alarming
failures, as well as the unprecedented
distress prevailing among the manu
facturing and shipping interests. At
no period, indeed, since the restora
tion of peace, has mercantile pres
sure been so great, nor is any hope
entertained that the projects of min
ister* will procure substantial relief.
The manufacturer and the bolder
of the raw material are in the same
predicament, neither can sell, be
cause goods have no demand. Last
[ ^ ear's shipments have, besides, been
disheartening. Our incrt*aee of ton
[nUgfL had beenso great, that notnore
that! one half now can find employ
ment, the frmainder is completely
inactive;
jf we ime.pfiltfd to Account for
these alarmms; evils, we should brief
ly answer, tnat they arise out?of
competition in foreign markets; out
of the fact of many of our old chan
nels of trade being dried up without
new coftnextions being formed* ami
lastly, because a large and impor
tant portion of tha globe hum long
been carrying on only one third of its
usual commerce, whence an incalcu
lable deficiency has been ex per*
ienced, chiefly to the detrimaM^of
Great Britain.
After jmAt preservation, Iftd the
Cromotion of good government at
oae, the next grand object- of a
state ia the increase of its resources,
which, to a mercantile nation like
ourselves,' under heavy arrears of
debt* becomes doubly important
How little this point has been atten
ded to in our recent treaties, how
little we have really gained by all
our late sacrifices, and how much
our commerce has been sacrificed to
the barren principles of ligitimacy,
|*is apparent from the distressed situa
tion in %vthich we now, stand. Our
columns would not allow us to take
a general review of this extensive
subject; but we will venture to point
out the quantum of trad* that has
been lost by the duration of the war,
and in Spanish America alone?a
war which, we shall never cease to
repeat, might have been prevented
by timely and enlightened policy on
ou?art, at the time we became allied
to European Spain in 18Q9, when
the transition of the colotiiea from
slavery tcfr freedom would have been
gradual but secure, and all the .con
sequent advantages, both daring the
Peninsular struggle aa well as now,
chiefly our own. A strange fhtality
has, however, hung over every thing
we have had it in out power to <)?
with regard to the ill fated discoveries
of Columbus; and this same fatali
ty still pursues Us, and mars one
of the brightest prospects that ever
beamed U|>on the nation. But we
will recur to numerical calculations
?a language of all others, the most I
intelligible,. and we pledge ourselves I
that these are founded on recent and
authentic data.
Prior to the revolution of 1810, all
Spanish America, independent of
contriband trade, annually consumed
millions of dollars, or 18 12
millions sterling of European im
ports, which trade, for the last nine
years, has not exceeded one third
of tha usual amount, owing to the
ravages of the war. In that pe
riod Europe has consequently J<tai
a vent for 7* millions sterling, a de
dciency chiefly experienced by manu
facturing countries, u the proportion
supplied by Spain was small*
lip to the same period of 1810, the
anuual produce of the mines equal*
led 48 million^ of dollars, of which,
during the prevalence of the v ar, no
more (ban one third has been obtaui*
ed. Europe has consequently h*t
an influx of 868 millions of dollars,
or more than 06 1-8 millions sterling
of pricious metals* This oft course,
causes a scarcity of bullion, and
that, too, at that time when luxury
has introduced almost a en fold use
of gold and silver* In addition to
the above, a deficiency in territorial
productions, at least eqnal to the a
mount of the precious metals, has
also been experienced. And can it
be supposed that such large deficien
cies would not be Alt in the general
trade of Europe, but more particu
larly of Englandf^Wc wm not^?
however, reverse the case, and sea
w hat trade would have been created
if all Spanish America bad been
rendered equally as free as Buenos
Ayres. T
In the preceeding amount of 66
millions of dollars, or 18 1-2 millions
sterling, stated to be the annual con
sumption of all Spanish America,
previous to 1810, to Buenos Ayres
enters in the pioportion of 8 1-8 mil
lions of dollars* Since freedom of
trade has been estabtished in that
quarter, and the inhabitants have
been taught newwauts and comforts,
and enabled taobtain whatever toey
could pay for, the imports from Eu*
rope liave arisen o 9 i 8 millions of
dollars, or, in other words, have
nearly tripled, as well as the amount
of territorial productions and value
of productions* This trade has be*
sides given employment to 60 vessels
C annum* If the same benefits had
n extended to all the other sec>
tions, the results would have taen
the same, and their consumption trip
led as it is a wall known foct, that
two-thirds of the inhabitants never
wore European clothing, because
they could not obtain or pav for it.
Had the w hole of that interesting
portion of the globe alluded to, been
at the present moment free and
generated, Europe wonkT bo in the
actual enjoyment of an nmraa) trade
equal to 85 or 80 millions sterling,
a consumpsion by no means con:*
mensurate to the wants of 17#ntUlioa
of inhabitants, who comptre'd with
those of the United States, require
the tne kinds of merchandize, where
as, with the exception of Bueuos
Ayres and across the isthmus of
Panama, ft very trifling amount is
now carried on* Mexico, in fact, for
years, has been a complete nonentity.
Tbe above is sufficient to prove bow
different the mercantile situation of
this country at the present moment
would be, if tbe grand object of
emancipation Iiad been attained.?
Nay, it seems as it Providence, in
pity to our distresses, and after a war
carried on for the !>enefit of the ci
vilized world, bail pointed out this
channel for our remuneration, and
which we have hitherto literary spur
ned. The time is, however, come,
when the clamours of the nation are
raised against this apathy and su
pincnes?, at a moment when the ag
grandizing views of our rivals bepti
to display themselves, and will uo
longer bear disguise.
