The Albany Daily Advertiser, and other federal papers, harp very much on the loss of this trade, which in seven years took off thirty-seven millions of our exports—in ten years fifty-five: and gave employment to so many of our own ships, to the profit of our own merchants. It is all true-, and we are glad to see attention paid to subjects of this nature; for we hope it will induce the American people and government to consult their permanent -in terests. But what right had we to expect any trade with British colonies, whilst Britain herself can carry on the whole commerce? tt was to be expected that on a gene- al peace every European nation would engross, the trade of its own islands. But we find that some of the British colonies are suf ferers by this exclusive care and bounty of the mother country'! And whv should we complain?

Quebec, June 6 Sixty seven vessels from sea, have arrived at this port since the opening of the navigation. Of these, the great est number are from Great Britain and Ireland, and many of them have brought valuable cargoes. The experience of a few weeks, has filled the minds of most mercantile men with unfavorable forebodings; and, although, when the seed time, which has been uncommonly late, will he fairly over, and the farmer and country' traders will have time to attend the market, and make their purchases, die prospect may brighten up a little, yet we feir these forebodings are but too well founded. Commerce is an exchange of commodities, and it is but too true that we have hardly any commodities to exchange for the super abundance of goods which have arrived, and may still be expected. Provisions, which were one of the staples of thi3 country, have actually been sent out to us from Great Britain, and are, perhaps, the only articles which have •■been sold at a profit! Manufactures we have none, but those tliat are imported. Lumber, while the price of provisions and labour remains high, can hardly be afforded at a price to admit of a profit in Eng- WEST-INDIA TRADE.

The interrogatories put to this generous man on his trial, ha-. e drawn forth replies, which are sufficient to in sure him universal respect from ah the friends of liberty' and humanity. Tiie following are the only extracts for which we can find room: “Wily, then, in the affair of Lavalette—an affair fo reign to your government—did you exert yourself to cast odium upon !persons whose duty prescribed to them the prosecution of the charges against him? Why' did you treat them as persecutors -who multiplied their efforts to assure their bloody triumph? Why did you add that they had discovered the footsteps of their prey, and that the escape of Lavalette hud produced no other effect but to render these ministers more-furious!"—Upon the first arti cle of tins interrogatory, I answer, tliat the affair of La valette (abstracted from the part I took in it) was not foreign to an Englishman. There existed a convention, signed by an English general, and ratified by the English government; and the trial of Lavalette Was a manifest vi olation of tliat convention.” “It would appear that the honor of your country could not be the only consideration to which you must have yielded in thisconiuncture, since you yourself advance for its justification, the calamity of Lavalette, -which you took upon as a dishonor to the cause of liberty and humanityg” “These two words, liberty and humanity, become the proof of my explanation. In fact, the word liberty, when well understood, expresses respect for the laws and for justice. The laws were outraged by die violation of the treaty, and it was then reasonable to regard this as the cause of liberty and humanity.
