Further according to my information— It is no the trade between the Eaft-lndi.s and China, as u i,a,Jn »«-hibiting tonnage duty, (being 5° cents t eir j pr. ton on entry of a foreign vcffel when our own i sly I coaftirfg ve(Tel| pay only fix cents per ton, for a < its. years licence) they are excluded from {haring in 1 of our /coa fling trade ; a branch of bufincls that alt or ready employs a large proportion of eur whole na- < ith »igatiin, and is daily encreafing. 1 eir In refpeft to the second and third objections it ' iri may Lie icmarked, that so far as the trade has been 1 is : heretofore enjoyed it has been in eonfcqtience of an < by exception from, and relaxation in, the system by 1 he j whtk'h ihe.European commerce has been regulated; i of J that h iviijg depended on the mere oecnfional per j a mission of the local government, we may fafejy infer : >n : (though it may have been supposed incompatible ,-o. with* the d,ifcretionary powers veiled in that go of Vernment to confer by treaty a positive right to car jur ry on the trade in question) that so long, and as of jm ten aS the interest that has heretofore induced the tly giant of this permifllon, (hall continue or exist, the :at- permiflion will be continued or renewed. The ftip glc illation restraining the trade, may if the parties fee fit, be dispensed with, and the trade may be enlarg es ed, or made free ; it being a contrast only between urs them and us, the parties are free to remedify it; ind and without a fotmal altsration, if those in whose een favour the restraint is made consent to remove it, the ar- other party is released from the obligation to ob ion fcrve it.f hat Again, Surat which is in the neighbourhood of ort Bombay, is the Emporium of the Guzeat and of ,er- the northern portion of the Malabar coast ; the cot ajy tons (hipped from Bombay to Canton ate frequent jay ly firlt lent from Surat to Bombay.

But is it not true (arid will uot candor admit it) >ft. that the trade to the ASatfc dominions of the Eu e a ropean powers has usually been confined to the na ei- tion to whom iuch territories belong ? Inourtrea be ty w-ith Holland, have we not even stipulated to ran 'efpeft their monopoly of this trade ? and by our s; s trea.y with France, a nation whose liberal policy is , jur said to have laid us under eternal obligations of grat ipy itwde, have we acquired the flighted pietcnlions, , rts. much less a right, to resort to, or trade with any the part of their Asiatic Teriitories ? to A late decree of the convention which opened to ich ,ls the ports ia their weft Indies likewise laid open om their remaining territories in Asia—But this mea ns. fin e proceeding from the necefiities of the war and ,g e theii inability to carry on their foreign commerce, ; ; s — at- * Tk e terihs used clearly denote this and noth the ' n R mure » tlle y are — lß a'fo undertlood thatthe na . permission granted by this article is not to extend to ind This docs not negative any pre-existing .Qf indulgence but merely provides that Jir main grant ~,y (hall not convert the revocable indulgence, if any ; c ] e there was ia this particular, into an irrevocable right re _ by treaty. inft f This has been affrfted to be questioned on ac ed, count of what is called the peremptorinefs of the exprefiions, (to wit.)
