Thi; gcatleman, ftvlin- himfclf a '• True Briton," has evU cuntly mlfconftrued my lilence ; buc as jt {$ not material, in this intlance, that E& fh...u!d be mr.de acquainted with m caufe, I VVJH merely recommend to his psrticuliT notice an ancient proverb, which advifes * nol f> halloo before you get fife out of <tv. wood.,, He wiil, I trull, pardon me, if L a>ovv my- felf not convinced by h;s argument, that «' he has met me as fairly as con!] be ex- pelted in a newfp.-'per, with reflect to the policy of trading with the AmtricaA*." It will indeed be only common jiftic acknowledge, that he has exhibited his ta¬ lents for the long-robed profVfiion m a very impofing light, fmce he h.a; cautioujly avoid-- ed dwelling on the points of primary impor- tanee, becaofe he well knew the wCik .fide of his caufe. I wi'li therefore venture to affirm, riotwithdanding his attempted w.VI- cifni?, hi? learned aUufions, and li ahfnrd jumble of q-iota'i. ns, *' which, like v woun i- ed fnake, drags lis fl.iw Itnglh alon^," that he hn.s utterly failed hi his en leavoers to de¬ fend his afleftioris ; for if v.c take the trou¬ ble cf adverting to his preliminary efTay, it will appear that he is a zealous advocate for the free, unrtlliict-d admiilion cf Airer'can manufactures into thii province, althou rh Bri'illi goods, of e«e.y doferiptioM, are at the fame time liable tj enormous duties on their entry into the ports of the United States* It will alio appear that, in fupport of this d'clrine, he has Searched the works of divert celabratcd writers on the tHbjecl of Political CEconomy, and among tru reft has quoted a pafTage from Smith's Wealth of Nations; in citing which l confidcr him peculiarly unfortunate, becaufe it tends ma- te;ially to the fubvefion of what be is anxi* otis to eftablilh, For the fake of pei fpicuity, i will fnhjoin the pafiage to which I allude. M The cafe in which it may fometimes be a ." matter of deliberation how far it is pro- " p^r to continue tlie nee imputation of '* certain goodn, is when fome foreiarn n:i- <4 tiou reftrains, by high duties or prohibi- *' tions, the importation or fome of our ma- 11 nllfa&ures into their country. Revenue. il in this caic, naturally dtfctea retaliation, 41 and that we fliould impofc the like duties " and prohibition4! upon the imputation of 44 fome, or all, of their manufactures i-ito 4i ours. Nation? accordingly feldom fail to " retaliate in this manner." Here it may ln-t be amiis to remark, that the author has always in view great manufacturing nations, and that his reafoning does not, on this ac¬ count, appiy ^ well to a dxHant colonv, which, only a few years fince, exhibited to the eye biit one vaft continued forclr. Even fuppofiug it for a moment to be bad policy to retaliate, can the M True Briton" pro¬ duce one folitary inftance where the contrary rflem has been adopted: Would it not fyitem has been adopt evince the greateft degree of temerity and folly fa our rulers, to depart from the clla- blillled enftoms of nations Ia this or any other cafe, and to purfue meaiures, which, having never before been -put into practice, might produce confequences of a mo ft difo- greeab'e nature ? Should they not rather t^ke for their guide in fuch important af¬ fairs, the long feries of precedents afforded during fo many centuries by the government of the mother country, which, by her wife regulations in this particular, has carried her commerce to a height of profpenVy hitherto unexampled, and has thereby attained the fiift rank In the fcale of nations ? The Im- penal Parliament of Great Britain is the polar ftar, by which our legislators fliould direct their courfe. As to the Petition of the Proprietors of the Steam-Boat, lefpedu'ng wKich I made a few fhort obfervations fome time fince, I had not heard of its fate, until it was mentioned by the " True Briton." Admitting what he alledges on this point to be correct, we muft ft ill bear in mind, that its being re¬ jected is not to be thought an fnfurmount- able proof of the impropnety of the Memo¬ rial, ss will be readily acknowledged by all perfons verfed in parliamentary hiftorv. It is, in fact, my firm belief, and it grieves me to be forced to fay it, that the "True Bri¬ ton" has wilfully endeavoured to mifrepre- fent the motives of the petitioners, and to Call a flur upon them, with a view of ferving his own private purpofes ; for, according to the belt information I carr procure on the fnbjcct, the principal object they vviflicd to gain was to fee enabled fuccefsft/Hy to enter into competition with the Amerioun itcrtmv boats. The feeend eiaufe, concerning the exclulion of other Canadian fteam-veflek for a fhort term of years, was a minor confider- ation, and, as I nnderfland, the gentlemen who prefented the petition in qucftion, al¬ though fatisfied with the propriety of the requeft, were not fanguine in their expecta¬ tions of its being accorded them. It is a cinnmftance well known to the majority of perlons in the'province, that the citizens of the United States* when they viut us, are fufTered to enjoy many advan¬ tages, which they are unwilling to allow Britifh fubjects in their turn when in their territories. Among a variety of others, thofe which affect our (hipping; inter eft ae not the lead important. I (hall rot here inlift on the manifeft tendency which the prefent ftute of the affair has to form a nur- fery of American feamen on the lake, but, fliould the " True Briton" be defirous of gaining information on this very interfiling topic, I would refer him to our fhipowners. Let him inquire of them what duties Cana- dlan veflels are compelled to pay in Ameri¬ can ports, and he wii) become feufibls of the diladvantages under whicfi out fellow-fub- ject> now labour. He will not then think it imp:King how the Americans are enabled to carry merchandife, pork, flour, &c. at a cheaper rate than we. I am happy however to learn, that this grievance will foon be re¬ moved by a Bill which the Legifhture is at prefent occupied iti framing. This Bill, if p fied, will place us on an equality with our neighbours, the Americans, by laying on *ihz:Y fhips a tonnage duty equivalent to that impoied by them on ou>. I fLilly coincide with the ct True Brito.n" 'in cohfiJering this world in vvhich we are doomed to pais our days, as a lad wicked one, and lament with him that avarice and a thtift f->r gain fli nld exercife fuch an aibi- tiary fway over the actions of the generality of m^n. 1 will add : experience in the ways of thix wicked World teaches us to regard with eyts m fufpicion and diftruft, thofe perlons who make loud prof'fTions 'vf diiiil- tcrrfted (neerity ; and it 'a commonly pru¬ dent eg folio .* the dictates of thii fafe mo¬ nitor. As he infills fo ibenuoufly on his loyaky, his patriotism, and pail k-i vices, f have no heft cation in adrnhtiug his claims; but will f.« , . ~- r'./.e the oppoituir.y ol ivmin<liuv» him, that the molt vociferous do not uniformly pio.e the moii uaunch.

They cry out that all the money will be carried out of the place, and the country empover- ifned ; but truy do not confidcr that a fub- flitute, which is quite as convenient in the tranfaCtions of life, is left in it* place ; and that, to make wealth to coniift in money, or in gold or ulvet, is a mere popular notion, which naturally arifes from the double func¬ tion of money, as the inftr-iment of corn- merce, snd as the meifure of value. In con- fequence of its being the inltrument of com- nfeCtce, when we have money we can more readily obtru,- whatever cife We have occa- Ccax iorf tjjan by means of any other com- imodity, Thf great aiT»ir, we alwdts find, m to get money j when that i- obtained, tlucre is no difficulty la mining any fubfe- q-'.ent porchafe.
