The trade of the United States with Hamburg and Bremen, during the late wars in Europe, and until those cities were occupied by the French armies, and became a prey to French rapacity, was very great, especially with the former, in articles of Colonial produce. The imperial city of Hamburg has long been the great depot of the extensive commerce of Germany, and the North of Europe. By means of the rivers Elbe and Weser, and other waters connected with them, the manufactures of Germany, particularly her linens, are brought to Hamburg, and from thence exported to the United States, and other parts of the world. Through this city, also, the rich products of the East and West-Indies have been introduced into Germa ny, and the interior of the continent of Europe. The principal articles of domestic produce, usually shipped to Hamburg and Bremen from the United States, are tobacco, rice, cotton, spirits from molasses,

some whale oil, and pot and pearl ashes. And the articles of foreign produce have been sugar, coffee, teas, cocoa, pepper, and other spices.

The extent and value of American trade with these cities, in domestic and foreign articles, from 1795 to 1801, may be seen, from the following estimate of exports and imports, during that period.—

The exports to Hamburg, Bremen, other Hanse towns, and ports

of Germany, but principally to Hamburg, from 1802 to 1810, were as follows:

The United States had great commercial intercourse with Holland, until the commencement of their restrictive measures. Although Bonaparte had given the Hollanders his brother Louis, for a king, that he might have them more completely under his control, and compel

them to enfore his continental system, yet so strong were the commercial habits of the people of Holland, that means were found to evade the imperial mandates; and the continental system, during the reign of Louis, was never carried into complete effect in that country. And notwithstanding the many vexations and spoliations, which American commerce experienced from the belligerent powers, yet it was extensive and profitable, not only with Holland, but with the rest of the world, until interrupted by commercial prohibitions. The extent of our trade with Holland will appear from the following statement of exports and imports at different periods.→→→

The following is an account of the quantities shipped to this country in the years 1806 and 1807, together with their value, as estimated at the place of exportation :

The articles of foreign produce have been, principally, coffee, sugar, tea, and pepper.

The following quantities of sugar and coffee were shipped to Holland, according to the custom-house books, from 1800 to 1810:

Sugar, brown. Sugar, white & clayed. Coffee.

The imports have usually consisted of woollen, linen, and other goods paying duties according to their value, spirits from grain, some nails and spikes, lead, and manufactures of lead, paints, steel, cheese,

glass, anchors, shot, slit and hoop iron. The average amount of goods paying duties ad valorem for the years 1802, 1803 and 1804, was $1,110,354, and in 1807, was $1,881,741. The average quantity of gin imported, during the same three years, was one million fifty-nine thousand five hundred and forty gallons, and in 1807, was one million four hundred sixty-six thousand gallons. In our trade with Holland, the exports have generally far exceeded the imports; the balance has been usually paid, in bills of exchange on England, and other parts of Europe.
