importations frum the latter.
/V nd although it is to l>c a<.linittedt that
tonteof these regulation*arc of a character'
so municipal as not to be legitimate objects
of complaint. In reference to an internation
al intercourse; yet they nevertheless do, in
tact, contravene that just reciprocity on
which it was to he presumed It would lie the
desire of l>oth panics to place the trade be
tween them.
While the British government, on its
i?tiit, ?-'intends as it is understood, that it is
justified in nquiri ig an abrogation of the dis

that ot admittur;, free of duty, the produce
of Uk colonics however remotely situated,
while it imposes an ioip<>st on articles of the
suuie description l'it?ui other countries; but
?dlowmg .tome plauhibilitv to this reasoning,
.t is to be recollected, that the qu??sti.-<n at
issue, bet wen ttie two countries, is not to
.ouch one nf aijstraet right, as of equality
and reciprocity in entering into a coiumer*
cial arrangeme.it intcmtul to promote the
niutirtl advantage ef tn<h partie*.
The foregoing presents n brief synopsis of
the measures which have been naoptcd
since the yeitr 1H1>, by the United Htates
and Great Britain, relative to the trade with
the British colonic-., and of Uic present state 1
of it. i
The recommendation of the memorialists
now i?: that the discriminating duties still
imposed onIh-itixh vessels and merchandise
from those colonies should be immediately
altolisUcd; .mil tlut Hi iti-.lv vewcU, coming
from whcncesoet er thev may, and with
wliatNCvirlOMloct, should be admitted Into
the portsof the United States, on the same
terms as the vessel* end cargoes of tlte roost
favored uation*.
't'he effect of which, tlvc committee be
lieve, would be, summarily, to yield to
fireat Britain all *hc crndd ask, witnout any
equivalent accommodation being granted on
her part. For, to admit British vessels in- <
ditcriminatrly iuto the ports of the United j
States with their cargoes* from whenccso
ever arriving, or of whatsoever composed,
on the same terms as our own vessels or those
of the most favored nations, which would
be the same thing* while she allows the adp,
mission of American vessels Into her porta
only partially, for certain prescribed arti
cles, and thos* limited to the growth, pro
duce or manufacture of the United Mates,
and to a manifest disadvantage, when com
pared with the like and the principal articles
which she wanta, when from elsewhere inv
ported Into the colonial port*, would oper
ate aa a surrender of the principle of equali
ty, and a withdraws* from tne < tmtrol of
the gmvernment of the United Htates, of
the means it possesses of leading to a better
ami more desirable, because more equal,
state of intercourse between the two coun
tries.
Front this View of the subject, and a cur
sory reference to the numema acts which
have been passed in relation to It, during
tlte last ten years, both by the United States,
imd by Great Britain, evidence will at once
be furnished of the complexity of the inter
ests connected with it, of the difficulty sat
isfactorily to arrange them, and especially
of the hi efficacy of isolated legislation for
the attainment of this international object;
and also affording, as the oommtttee cannot
but believe, a strong grand of preference
for aa arrangement being effected, if pcfteftl
eable, by a convention between the two
lust an.f jlffK.ral basis,
which, when agreed to, would be pennn
nent and unalterable for the term of its du
ration, rather than to rely en detached, In

Colonial Trade.?The New York Enquir
er, a few days ago, speaking of the new or
der In council, putting an end to our com
merce with (he British .West Indies after
the first of -Decern!**', observed,, thnt
' " During the last septal of congress Mb
Lloyd, of Massachusetts, Introduced a bill
into congress, the subject of which was to
place the British tonnage in our ports on the
name footing which she had placed ours on
in her ports."
Subsequently n correspondent of tlyd pa
per, has furnished the following corrections
of the statement of the editor.*?
" The bill alluded to was not introduced
by Mr; Lloyd, twit by (Sen. Smith, and it was
supported by what U called, in court lan
guage, "the factious opposition" in the sen
ate. It wap opposed by Mr. Lloyd, and by
the friend* of t(W cabinet, and, with two or
threo exceptions, by thtn> only. A motion
to lay the bill upon the table was made by
(itn. Harrison, of Ohio, and carried by
ayes and nays as follows:?
Jtyr*?Burton, Denton, Boullgny, Chan
dler, Edwards, Harrison, Holmes, John
?*n? ofjUxtWann, Kant, Lloyd, Marks,
Noble, ReedMRobino, Kuggles, Bunford?1*

JuteiwitR. i if i.ljpn^ ?vntCU^lv.g1Wwily t
against the feeautre. Mr. Tsxewclt, ofvlr
gml.i, openly ca'd Hint the cabinet wereop
I:osed to anecrnary and proper a:t of Icgis
ation, because tliey wished to have the
eclat of ar.coinnli<dt:4g the same object by i
negotlntlon nnd diplomatic address.
Whatever the motive might have been,
it is certain the defeat of a measure which
would have prevented ll?e present unfortun
ate state of our commercial intcroourac with
the British colonics, was carried mainly by
the immediate friends and supporters of the
adminhtration. "-.Iipttpn Stauimait,.. \

We fear, in fact, we know, that the nature
of thi? trade, nod the immediate point in
dispute )? nut properly understood by the
A meriean people. In the celebrated act of
I' M, Great Britain departed entirely from
her old colonial policy?a policy consolidat
ed by tlte laws and Uilfn of two- centuries
?a policy established to increase the trade
of the mother country and exclude that of
?11 other*?a policy, me abrogation of wlrfch
emancipated the trade of the British pos
sesions in the western hemisphere from a
bondage of many generations and gave it to
foreigners?the advantage of which to al-1
most exclusively enjoyed by the Unfcad
Htates. It waa a concession we know made
voluntarily, but was, nevertheless, entirely
against h<rt-s?lf, and has been the subject of
much loufl and vehement complaint by the
party in Rngiand opposed to the free trade
system of the present administration. This
act went into operation in January last and
admitted into all the British colonies on very I
moderate duties, (shout halt the amount of
those imposed here upon British mannfac
tares) the manufactured articles of all coun
tries whatever, that would admit British
colonial vessels npon the footing of the mast
favored nations. 'i*hto at once opened the
ports of Canada, Nova Hoot la. New Bruns

rican and African possessions to American
cotton and woollen goods, ?imtture, car
riages, tin and iron ware*, fee. 6cc. Yet
this woidd not procure admission for Brittohl
vessels on fair terms. But was the letter of
the act adhered to In consequence and Ame
rican vessels excluded from colonial ports?!
