likely to be great sufferers.
Annajiolis, September 21.
This day Stevenson Archer, Esq. son of
the Hon. Dr. Archer, of Harford, was admit-
ted as an attorney at the bar of Anne-Arun-
del county court.
Extract of a letter from St. Thomas, received
at New-York, dat,d 1\th August.
Our market for provisions has been dull
for some time, Owing to an embargo being
laid on those articles by the government ;
but as the alarm about an embargo in Ameri-
ca seems to have subsided, they have con-
cluded to permit the exportation of those
articles again. We are in hopes it will make
business brisk again in a few days.
, In looking over Aikin's Atheneum, for
the month of August, wi were strode with
the following interesting pa_;japh : _ (.
[tioston paper.']
"The committee of the house of com-
mons, appointed to i iquire Shto the state of
the Wes-tjndia trade, is expected soon to
m.ike its rep it V, s that very
positive evidence i given by#many
of our principal merchants relative to the
expediency, or as n is termed the necessity
of mteifopiing the trade earned bo by the
Americans with the,French and Spanish
Islands. As thisman- r is likely to come
very soon b-fore parliament, where it ., hi
probably had to animated, discussions, we
shall briefly explain to our readers the merits
of both sides of the question.
' The French Colonies were formerly ob-
liged, in the (same way as ours, to send the
whole of their produce to the mother coun-
try. Tiie law by which this necessity is
enforced in Britain, is commonly, but not
with stiict propriety, called our navigation
law. Tne fact is, that independent of the
general' provisions of the navigation law, we
have for a hundred and fifty years specific
acts of parliament in the same spirit, and
more comprehensive in their operation, in
regard to the colonies, than,the celebrated
navigation laws of Cromwell. Be this as it
may, the French colonies have sent home
their produce to the mother country exclu-
sively, for more than a century; In war-
this was a matter of no Small difficulty, but
as there was no other means of disposing of
it, the only alternative was t« let it remain
ill the colonies oi hazard the conveyance.—
In the present war, however, Talleyrand
discovered that America was a very conve-
nient medium for carrying on this ctv metce,
and accordingly a month had scarcely elaps-
ed, after the renewal of hostilities in 1806,
when Bonaparte issued a decree opening the
Fiench colonies to the Americans. This
trade has since been carried on to an amazing
extent, and almost the whole continent of
Europe is by these means supplied with
West-India produce. No treaty could have
been more advantageous for both parties.—
America produces in plenty the provisions
and lumber, which are wanted in the West-
Indies. The West-Indies pay her with su-
g.ir, rum, coffee and other articles' of tropi-
cal growth, which do not interfere with her
own productions, and which are equally
useful for her own consumption, and for
traffic with other countries. Such a liberal
export does she make of West-fiidia produce,
that in the year 1803 no fewer than 211
American ships entered the port of Amster-
dam, importing 45,000 hogshead of sugar.
In consequence of the 'cheapness of convey-
ance by neutrals, and of the obstacles thrown
in the way Of our commerce by Bonaparte's
prohibitory decrees, there is no demand what-
ever on the continent for British produce,
«X©ept on terms at which it is ruinous to
II' Matters have been going on at this
rate above two years, but they are now come
to a state at which the merchants consider
it incumbent on them to exert all their in-
fluence to induce ministry to put a Stop to
the American intercourse with the enemy's
colonies. A measure of this nature was ho
doubt in contemplation by Mr. Pitt, in 1805)
but his successors viewed the matter in a
vt-ry different light. Their sentiments on
tbic-head, were-stated at length in the in,-
quiry into the state of the nation, publisMed
in March last year. At that period, ho we- !
ver, it is to be remarked, that the intercouise
in question had not yet done so much mis-
chief ; nor had Bonaparte then attempted
to exclude us so completely from the conti- !
nent. !
" The only objection to intercourse is the
dread of a war with America, or rather of
the mere suspension of a trade which takes
off a yearly value of between eight and nine !
millions of our manufactures. Any inter- j
ruption of so important a traffick should
certainly, if possible, be avoided; and no
pro-pect of aggrandisement to ourselves, or
of injury to our enemies would justify a
measure calculated to produce a rupture ol
this kind. But if the prosperity of our !
commerce and our shipping be. at s ake, 1
the case is widely different. The hostile j
act ,vou!d obviously be directed against j
France, not ajainst America, to whom «e
have no antipathy. In carrying it into ef-
fect, as far as regards America, we should
be solicitous to avoid an offensive or per-
erap-ory conduct ; and with these precau-
tions (,vhich by the bye our government have
seldom been very skilful in observing) it is
probable that no quarrel with America would
ensue, for although our lusa in such a con-
test would not be small, the loss of Ameri-
ca would be ten times greater."
