The inquiry has been made in relation to the President’s Proclamation, reciprocating the act of the British government opening the. West India ports, where the President found his authority for declaring the trade open with the British Provinces, Canada, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and New foundland ? NVe answer, that the term, West Indies is a general term, and not limit ed to the Islands 30 called. It includes all that portion of America north of the Equa tor, excepting the United States. Our reasons for tills opinion are the fol lowing: First, if we mistake not, the act of parliament is entitled an act regulating trade wit his Majesty’s possessions in the West Indies, and afterwards enumerates among the free ports, those of Canada, Nova Sco tia, kc. idly. In instructions received in this col lectino district, from the trea-ury depart ment, we understand that the term West Indies lias been used in tiic general sense we have mentioned. felly. It has been employed mid recog nized in this general and comprehensive sense in the negotiations of tliis govern ment with foreign powers, particularly in the treaty with Sweden. If our information, as to the above facts, he correct, the. President has authority e- nigh for every portion of his proclama tion ; the opening of the trade with the northern provinces being evidently within i.lin meaning ofthe acts of bath tins and the British government.— Boston Patriot. It is stated that the new act for uniting and regulating the trade of the Canadas, contains a clause, imposing a duty of 5s sterling per barrel on American flour, and excluding Post-Ashes coming from the U.

A letter from a merchant in Montreal, says—“It is with much concern I have to state that under this new law, ashes, salted provisions, but ter, lard, ke. are totally excluded. The price of ashes will no doubt advance in con sequence of this unfortunate and unexpect- d news. The law is making a great sensa tion here. Some of our most intelligent merchants are of opinion that there is a mistake in that part of the law which ex cludes ashes, and that the same will lie dis covered and rectified.” Santa Ff. of New-Metico.—It is he coining a familiar operation, (says the St. i Louis Register,) for our citizens to visit this capital.
