' 1 - '- r:'i ' ; So far .as respt-cts the English territo ries in rurope ana m Asia, me intercourse . is arranged by the treaty of 18 lis ; but this treaty , contains no provision concerning tne navigation and trade oetween the U fiited States and the EnelisU . colonies, in the West-Indies and North-America The value of this branch of trade; and the importance of the navigation , employed in tne same,', nave oeen long understood by both parties, and the actual .embar rassment thereof, which now exists; can not be ascribed, to the want of a' disposi- lira on '. me part oi ine ; unu a states to have placed the same on a fair and friend ly footing; but it continues :o be insisted on by England, that notQiily ihe colonial trade, but the trade betweeu the U. States and these colonies, ought to be considered and regulated as a monopoly, that foreign nations are bound to respect, & with which they may; nor interfere. r The act, commonly called the navigai tion act 'pf England while it reserves the colonial navigation exclusively to Ihe ves sels of England aod her colonies,, opens the "trade between England.and ; foreign nations to the vessel of both,' subject ' to equal and the sameegulations. j:4- ;The, colonial Jike tbe coasting trade, has been treated, as a monopoly,: so lo6g as the same- wa,confined tothe naviga tion between territories 'of the same nati on ; but, whenever it may suit the conve nience of a nation to open a trade bet ween her colonies & a foreign nation, the. claim to treat this trade as a monopoly is without-just authority, beiug'lcontrary to. the Tighu of Mich foreign nation, which, with iu K3 pwn uominions, must possess autho tional monopolies; bVVir Acre'lawsl' to ZJZ2 te hMw;fh. i jls .oe V , : ' v . . t w ft j tu iiWLc suta regulations .as may be deemed expedient.' - - v'r - v ' .

J- After long endurance and fruitless ef forts -to adjust t this question by; treaty, t Congress, with great unanimity, i have passed laws to countervail tne restrictions imposed by England upon the intercourse between the United States and her colo fnies in the West-Indies. !

American supplies are also sent in American ; vessels to'the free port of Bermuda,-and theie sold for ash ; ; and flour in like manner is sent from the United States to the (Island of Cuba, as well as to the port of Li verpool, and from' these places, carried in English vessels jto Jamaica and other English co lonies in the WC8tlInd!es. In thisjeondi tion of our navigation and, trade, our: ton-' nage continues annually, to increase, and the alue of our etports exceeds , that of our imports.' " ; . ' :V--V In countries of great extent, and whose productions arefvarions, though the peo ple are , generally employed in similar oc cupations; new regulations rri iyf for a' time, affect some portions of the country more than others ; but every portion soon" accommodates itself to the new regulation, and the, advantages xaud disadvantage are, .in a short ; time, certain p he' equal ized by the' entire freedom .With which every branch of industry is prosecuted. I - It. was on account of this diversity of products, and of the different manner of doing business in the several states,1 that jealousies formerly existed between them, which defeated every attempt to establish any. common regulation of trade under the confederationthe want of American ton nage sufficientto create the requisite com petition in the exports of the country,1 add ed. to the difficulties of this period, i . - ' (But as the national tonnage is now fully sufficient for. the national exports, and as Congress have offered', to all nations a system of entire equality and freedom in the commercial intercourse between thetn and the United .States, ; the time has come in which it has been thought to be due to t he welfare; and character of the jLTnited States to countervail the regulations which so lon, and so much to our disadvantage, have been ; imposed . by ' England; oh the trade and navigation between the United States and her West India colonies. : .
