But we have contended, and wirh ; reason, that if, at' any time, GrWt Britain may desire the productions of ibis country, as ne cessary to her colonies, they must be received upon principles of just recipro city; and further that it i makinp an invidious and unfriendly distinction; to open her colonial.. ports to the vessels of other nations, and close them, a gaiilst those of the Unitetl States. Antecedently to 1704, a portion of our productions was admitted into the colonial islands of Great. Britain, b; particular concession, limited to the term ofone year, but renewed from year toear. In the transportation of these' productions, however, our vessels were not allowed to eueratre; this hemp a privi!ci;e r i i served to '-British ship ich alone our produce oio" , l)v w h eojild be talien to the!; islands, and lUeirs brou'irhtHo us in return. From ew fonndlaml and her continental pfse)Sioiis. well as our hll our productions, as vessels, were excluded, with occasion al relaxations, by which in seasons of istress, the former were admitted in liritish bottoms. Bv the treaty of 1704,. she offered to concede tc Us, for a limited time, the riuht or carryinu to her AVest lu dia possessions, in our vessels not ex ceeding scveijty tons burden, and up on the same terms as British vessels, anv productions of the United States . i w hich ' British vessels might import negotiation, to makej that communica therefrom.

In di'pendentlv ofthe more obvious ail vantages of an open' and direct intercourse,-its establishment wilt be atten fieri with other consequences of a" high er value. That winch has been, cur ried on since the mutual interdict tin der all the expense and inconvenience unavoidably incident to it, would have been iusupportablyf onerous, had il not been, in a great "decree, lightened by concerted evasions in the mode of tmrkinir the transhipments at what are called the neutral ports.' These indi rections are inconsistent with the dig nity of nations that have so man um lives, not only to cherish feelings of mutual friendship, - but to maintain such relations as will stimulate their respective citizens and subjects to ef forts of direct, open, and honorable competition only, and, preserve them from the influence of seductive and itiatiof circumstances.
