Mr. Fsmnd,
- I am one of thole peaceable characters that
seldom attend pnblic me< tings, but as one at*
njy Neighbours told me that the Meeting of
't'uefday evening I all at Mr, M'Shane's wa»
of the utmost importance to every cJafsof ci
tizens, I contented to go with hiin.
The business of the meeting was opened by
a little gentleman who after a torrent of de
clamation, brought forward a firing of reso
lutions which he had previoiifly preparej for
the purpose.
In the course of his arguments he justly re
probated the condu& of the Britiih Govern
ment for Aipporting it* cmifers iu il)e»ml de
predations upon th#ci>mmerce of all Neutral
Nation!?, but more pat ticulai ly upon that of
Amerita—he then ffcated with a great flow of
language, tht propriety and the absolute n»-
ceifity for this country meeting Britain with
some kind of Retaliation and that in a way
which he considered to be the lead hoftiic.
This Was fir,to recdmitiend to Congress ei
ther by way of Resolution or memorial, tb
make discriminating dut-es upon the manufac
tures of such countries as have no commer
cial Treaties with the United States, aud the
duties arising therefiom to be appropriated as
a Fund for repaying such Merchants as may
have fuffered filiation from the detention or
feizwres of British cruisers. This he supposed
no mati could object to, and 1 coufefs I thought
it very comforting doctrine, but I was not al
together fatisfied of the Fadt, having experien
ced in the couHe of my bufmefs, that additio
nal duties upon ftich goods a 6 we could neither
mauufa&iire or do without, must, in all such
cases be paid by the consumer or perfou who
w nfts them.
*diot
I keep a Store of what \i called Ironmon
gery, two thirds of which is of Brftifb manu
facture, consisting of locks, hinges, laws,
pl»ne% gimblets, hammers and a great vaiiety
of othej articles, few of which can be made
here, and none suitable for this market can be
made in any part of Europe but England} if
so, we must import them from that toontry,
and if we must have them the whole duties
fall on the purchafeis In this Country.
If thd duties amount toa prohibition, I must
(hut up shop and pursue some other bultntfs—
w jllinghowever to examine this question a
little farther, I callfed upon rfiy neighbour
who fells Broad Cloths, Velvets, Velverets
Corduroys, Jeans, Fuftians&c. &rc. aud on en!
quiry found his prices were considerably ad
vanced, viz. Broadcloth from 35 to46f. p r . yd.
which he afTured me was partly owing to ex!
ifttng duties, and equally so to the expertatiou
that Congress would adopt Mr. Madison's re
solutions. He told mo he occasionally had
French clotlis, but the British were generally
preferred by his enftomers; and witb regard to
Velvets, &c. no part of the world could supply
them oh such-good terms both as to price and"
credit as Manchester in England; but fays he
Congress may add to their Duties, I (hall add
ihin to the price, and the people of America,
must pay the whoie.
If theft are fa&s, and they really ftrilce my
mind as such, whence are the duties to arise,
from which a fund is to be appropriated to
compensate the losses of our Merchants ? is
every man thaTt>uiMsahoufe to pay the additi
onal duties on locks, hwiges, &c &t. and every
man that wants a coat, and every Farmer or
Mechanick that requires implements or tools
to pay high prices to compensate the Mer
chant ? for finely the little gentleman wont
alTert that we can uiake those articles in fu£>
fictent quantities for the United States* and if
we nuftlvave them, so long must we employ 4
the British Manufacturers, pay the Tax our
selves and be laughed at into the Ba?gain.
I hope Sir, j have not traofgrefled too mucil
on tlie space allotted in yout paper to better
writers-—tf my brother shop-keepers ai d in
deed people in general, would think timre for
tfceerfiives) they never would be the thipos of
BUSY POLITICIANS.

LONDON* Dec. 20.
Copy of a lettter received yesterday morn
ing from an officer in JLord Howe's
fleet, dated Torbay, Deo. 14, 1793.
MWe arrived here on Wednesday last,
after an utrfeccefefol cruize, the object of
which, (as wa» reported), was to inter
cept the French Weft India convoy,.
They, howev*rhave thought propr to go
to America, and in all probability w2l
remain there, as neither life nor property
appear secure in France. On the morn
ing of 18th November, wt fell in with a
Frcngh squadron, confiding of seven fail
of thelme, two frigates, two brigs and »
schooner. They were within two leagues
of us before they discovered their mittake.
