NEUTRAL TRADE.—Our mer
chants have wailed with much ar.xicty to
fee ihe coiirfc that would be purfutd by
the prcfitit ministry of England, in re
gard to onr colonial trade. There was
fume reason to hope, that the late anti
neutral principle of Mr. Pitt would be
abandoned ; that we (hould not only re
ceive compensation for the losses actually
fullait.cd by enforcing it, but that we
should be abl: to ffipulate for its aborti
on by the commercial treaty, which may
be nejjociated by Mr. Munroe and Mr
Pinckney. But it is now time to d:f
mifsthcfe flattering hopes. The prcfenl
mimitry have been liberal enough to dii
chargt our impressed seamen, Lut they
have rtfufed to give up tbe commercial
principle which we contend for ; as will
be fecn from the fu lowing riant ueci fion
of the highefi maritime tribunal in Great
Britain. It will of course he a rule of
proceeding to all the inferior admiralty
courts of Great Britain and her colonics.
From this case it follows :
That entering at the Custom houses &
bonding trie duties is not fuflLitn!
to neutralize the cargo ;
That not even landing is a fuf&cient
security against capture, provided it
be rt ffrpptd a few days after in tile
fame bottom ;
That it becomes, nectffary therefore,
either to change tbe bottom or to
lengthen the time between its arri
val and re-fhipmentStill it uoe3
not appear from this deofio i ;
Whether there is any or what that
time is, which can nrutrai ze the
cargo re-shipped in the fame bottom
or what lime muff elaple between
difchaigi >g i: from one bottom and
re sh pping it in anotKr.
Nordoe3 it appear in this case what is
to be the fate of the vellel ; as the
word “ proper ry” may mean cither
the cargo by itlcif, or both the vel
fel and cargo.
BRJ/ISH BRIZE COURTS.
Privy Council Chart her, March I !, lßc6.
Case of the William Tsrky,
M ASTEI.
Present, Earl Fitzwilliam, Lord Pre
sident, duke of Moutrofj Lord Auck
land, Mailer of the Rolls* Sir Wiliam
W'yune, and Sir William Scott—Tht
case decided in this court was an appeal
by an A mericau claimant, from a sentence
of the court of vice admiralty of Halifax!
It was tried by a full court, and tbe
judgement unanimous, for condemning the
ft of it ty as a lawful prite. It brief
ly itated by Sir William Grant, mailer of
the Rolls, “ That the linglc quctlion in
this calc is, whether the voyage in which
the property of the claimant v/as cm
balked at the titreof’the capture was a
lawful voyage* The carg.o in qudlion
coulillcd of cocoa, which had been flnp
ped at l.aguira, a port in the Spamiii
province of Carracas, tn South America,
on account of the claimant, in the fame
ship 111 which it was now captured, and
was brought to Marblehead, a port of the
United States, where it was entered ana
landed, a bond having been given as usu
al for the dutit.9 ; but it was a tew days
afttrwardu rtlhipptd in the fame bottom,
and dispatched on a voyage to Bilboa.—
Debentures were thereupon granted to
the claimant for the amount of ihe viuties
a small part txcpttd ; and thele deben
tures being, at a fublcquent period, giv
en up at the cuilum house, and the small
balance of uutie* paid in cash, the bond
given on the entry from Daguira was
ciianc tiled.
This, our readtrs will observe, is the
ordinary course of proceeding in like ca
ks ; and which, it is contended, on the
part ol America aiuoun s to a tan impor
tation into that country, so as to jullify
the lubliqiient tranfuiiilion of the pro
dace ot a hoilile colony, to the mother
country, or any other port iu Europe,
while the contrary is maintained by our
Prize Courts.
The mailer of the Rolls did not enter
into those general principles of the Law
ot Nations, on which this country aflerts
a light to prevent neutrals from carrying
on the colonial trade of our enemies in
general ; principles which have been lo
oilen dilcuil-d anti fi> often solemnly tc
coguifid by the Lords commillioncrs.—
lit only oblcrred, that by the uniform
tcule ot ihe i-.oird, whatever branch ot j
that trade was not allowed by Ills majet |
ty’s war ir.ltruCtioiis, was uolawfull ; and
that therefore ihe only qmttion for their
Lordihip’s in this cate was, whether the
voyage >n qutibon was fairly within the
licence, ot the Royal inltruCtiou which
applied to it.
Dr. Lawrence as Amicus Cur;*, fta
ted to their Loroihips, that in case of
the l'ahy, Laiky, at the admiralty, an
affidavit. Lad been produced, on the part
of the claimant, Rating the aitual pay
ment of the duties, and that the court was
at that period not at all aware that the
Julies were (ccuredby bond in these ca
lcs, and dilcharged by debentures in the
way that had iince appeared, He also
mentioned, that by the law of America,
as now clearly uudcrilood, the importer
actually derived a potnivc advantage by
theie tianiactious ; lor that though the
duties are not paid, ucgociablc debeu.
lUiCS aie illued on the credit of the bond
and theie the importer cau put iuto cir
culation, until a period at lome mouths
Oidance, which is allowed tor the pay
ment of Ju bond, or tor its difchargc by
production of theie debentures.

At a full meeting ot ihe high court of
admiralty, th'y have given anew and So
lemn assurance that n-itber a dire£l nor
circuitous voyage with the fame cargo, in
tbe fame vcffel, will be permitted to a
neutral. It wi3 contended, as regarded
the United States, that the securing or
ihe duties cooflituted no fufficient inter
ruption of the voyajje. As r.egociable
debentures were taken, and but a very
imall proportion (fay 198 dollars in the
case of tbe Efftx, out of 5278) of tbe du
ties eventually remained to the collector.
The court confirmed the condemnation
of the William, Trefry. [Even on Bri
tifn grounds, however, Americana have a
right to claim for want of due notice.—
Since the princ’plehas been assumed, pro
bably no American v. fftl failed which

FROM THE NAIIGNAL INTELLI
GENCER.
THE INDIA TRADE.
The late notices of our trade to India
in the Britifn Parliament merit atten
tion. It Items as if it were finecrely
coofidered as a partia’ity to us to allow
the American ships and capitalills to af
fill the British Earl India ftttlements, to
Jind a mar kit fur their oenn lndta menu
JuUurti ! We allow Great Britain to ex
port every article from this country, to
every place ass eely as ou. Elves. The
fair principle of reciprocry, therefore,
would forliid complaint, at our export
img trim their India poffefhoos, their
own rtanufafives, even it it were a bene
fit to us. Were we to make the rxpe
riment of prohibiting the importation or
their lodia cotton mar.ufaftnrcs into this
country, and into Europe, we should
gain a full ihare of the carrying trade of
our owu raw cotton wool to the Euro
pean nsarmtaftures, and we might at the
fame tim , import cotton goods end fi k
goods from Cnina The greateff txril
mg injury to the cotton growers of the
United States is perhaps the bringing
the cotton goods of Brnrfh India to the
American and European markets. That
importation is equally injurious to the
aiai.u’actur:rs of Et’-rope, and of the U.
S. Let us compute the cotton requi
tue to mak: a quantity of European ma
nuiaclures equal to the Britifli Eaff In
dia cottons and li ks, and then a proof
will be in our hands of the injury to our
agriculture from our partaking in tiie
traiifporUtion of tliofe British India
goous to any rrarket. No commerce it
good for America, which injures iu nj r.
culture. This is the loundell maxim in
the political economy of the U. States.
The compulation of the cotton, which
would be rtquiiite to make ail the India
manufactures coafumed in Europe, and
America wifi be, at the fame lime, a
computation o‘ the quantity ot Ameri
can cotton wool, which we should carry
to the European r.ianufadtures, it the
British ludta goods were left on their
hands, for want ot our purchales, and
traniportation- This traiifportatioa ol
our cotton would be a furcr and mure
valuable branch of the carrying trade
l'hc indirect benefits of the cotton cui
tivation arc nnmeule. If we keep up
and incrcafe tue cultivation or cotton,
.the prices of rice, indigo, Louihuna fu
gar, wheat, corn, cattle, and hortes will
be betttr luppor td. For the diviliun
of to many -anas and cultivators irotn
grain farms, grals iarim., ,\c- prevents au
overttock of giain of all kinds, cattle,
dec. It is notorious that our exports of
Indigo, rice, flour, and tobacco nave de
created since cotton has been lo m.racu
louily iricrtaltd aud so profitably cultiva
ted. The realou is plain. The land
and planting and farming laborers cannot
yielu 45 millions of pounds of cotton,
and yield, indigo, grain, cattle, See. in
-heir wanted quantities. Such produce
■unde more fcarcc commands hightr pn
ces. It is the interetl of the Brit’/l ms
nujablurcrs themftlvcs, and of the Amt
rieao planters, farmers and rr.anufaftu
rers, that tbe British Eail Indians should
raile sugar, coffee, cocoa, pimento, gin
ger and other articles of tropical produce,
and that they ihould not feud cotton ma
