Commercial Report.

89

ON the 18th ult. was received the ratification of a commercial convention for four years with the United States of America, which we have inserted at length in a preceding part of our present number. It does not contain any clause to afford any new feature of commercial intercourse on either side, or to produce the least impression upon the intercourse already established between the two countries: it is more remarkable for what is excluded from it than for what it contains. It will be found by this convention that the United States of America, by their acts of hostility towards Great Britain, have lost much and gained nothing, being entirely excluded from any intercourse with our West India islands, which heretofore constituted their most valuable branch of commerce.

The return of the Emperor of Russia to his capital, and our present amicable relation with that country, induce a belief that some commercial regulations will be agreed upon to the interest and mutual advantage of both, previous to the renewal of intercourse the ensuing season; and our existing connexion with France likewise suggests the probability of some extended regulations with regard to the commercial intercourse of the two countries. For this reason an outline of the commercial treaty concluded at Versailles in September, 1786, may be interesting to such of our readers as have not the immediate means of reference to the same. The baueful anarchy in France that so immediately suc ceeded the period of this treaty, prevented the effects of its influence being ascertained by either country. It would therefore probably form the basis of a future treaty; and as such, render an attentive perusal of its contents, and the debates in Parliament on the 12th February, 1787, upon its consideration, highly interesting.-The treaty of 1786 contained 47 articles; the 6th, as containing the tarif, and disclosing nearly the substance of the whole, we shall here insert at length.

ART. VI. The two high contracting parties have thought proper to settle the duties on certain goods and merchandizes, in order to fix invariably the footing on which the trade therein shall be In consequence of which they have agreed upon the following

established between the two nations.

tarif, viz.

1. The wine of France, imported directly from thence into Great Britain and Ireland, shall in no case pay any higher duties than those which the wines of Portugal now pay.

2. (Relates to duty on vinegar, now not worth repeating.)

3. Reduces the duty on brandy from 9s 6d. to 7s. per gallon.)

4 Oil of olives, coming directly from France, shall for the future pay no higher duties than are now paid for the same from the most favoured nations.

3. beer shall pay reciprocally a duty of 30 per cent. ad valorem.

6. The duties on hardware, cutlery, cabinet ware, aud turnery, and also all works both heavy and light of iron, steel, copper, and brass, shall be classed, and the highest duty shall not exceed 10 per

cent. ad valorem.

7. All sorts of cottons manufactured in the dominions of the two Sovereigns in Europe, and also woollens, whether knit or woven, including hosiery, shall pay in both countries an import duty of 12 per cent. ad valorem, manufactures of cotton or wool mixed with silk excepted, which shall remain prohibited on both sides.

8. Cambrics and lawns shall pay in both countries an import duty of five shilings, or six livres, per demi piece of seven yards and three quarters English measure; and linens made of flax or hemp, manufactured in the dominions of the two Sovereigns in Europe, shall pay to higher duties either in Great Britain or France than linens manufactured in Holland or Flanders imported into Great Britain Bow pay. And linen made of flax or hemp, manufactured in Ireland or France, shall reciprocally pay no higher duties than linens manufactured in Holland imported into Ireland now pay.

9. Saddlery shall reciprocally pay au import duty of 16 per cent. ad valorem

10. Gauzes of all sorts shall reciprocally pay 10 per cent. ad valorem.

11. Millinery, made up of muslin, lawn, cambric, or gauze of any kind, or of any other article admitted under the present tarif, shall pay reciprocally a duty of 12 per cent. ad valorem; and if any articles shall be used therein which are not specified in the tarif, they shall pay no higher duties than those paid for the said articles by the most favoured nations.

12. Porcelain, earthenware, and pottery, shall pay reciprocally 12 per cent. ad valorem.

13. Plate glass and glass ware in general shall be admitted on each side paying a duty of 12 per cent, ad valorem.

His Britannic Majesty reserves the right of counteracting by additional duties on the undermen. tioned merchandizes, the internal duties actually imposed upon the manufactures, or the import duties which are charged on the raw materials, namely, on all linens or cottons stained or printed, on beer, glass-ware, plate-glass, and iron.

And his most Christian Majesty also reserves the right of doing the same with regard to the following merchandizes: namely, cotton, iron, and beer.

And for the better securing the due collection of the duties payable ad valorem which are specified in the above tarif, the said contracting parties will concert with each other, as well the form of the declaration to be made, as also the proper means of preventing fraud with respect to the real value of the said goods and merchandizes.

But if it shall hereafter appear that any mistakes have inadvertently been made in the above tarif, contrary to the principles on which it is founded, the two sovereigns will concert with good faith upon the means of rectifying them.

The five first articles of this treaty stipulate for the freedom and protection of the subjects of both sovereigns residing in either country with reciprocal privileges.

Art. VII stipulates that all merchandizes not specified is the preceding article shall be admitted respectively on equal terms with the most favoured nations.

Art. XV stipulates for the reciprocal abolition of all tonnage dues on the shipping of both nations; and the remainder relate to regulations for the prevention of litigations and confiscations in cases of false entries; reciprocity of assistance in cases of distress of shipping upon the coasts of either country; regulations of letters of marque and privateers in case of war of either country with any other power; contraband goods in such cases; &c. &c. &c.

Bankrupts.

[Feb. 1,

The commercial transactions of the past month, as is usual for this season of the year, have been limited, and speculation having almost entirely subsided, renders the complaint of inactivity in every department of commerce general. Sugars of all kinds have declined 2s. to 3s. per cwt., and still indicate a further depression. Coffee, however, remains steady, and some sales have been effected without a decline; and rums have improved 2d. to 3d. per gallon. Dye woods, and dyeing articles in general, although most of them at very low prices, do not recommend themselves to purchasers, and remain without a prospect of improvement.

As to American produce, tobaccos fully support their prices, without any immediate prospect of decline, and by some an advance is even anticipated. Cotton wool has improved three-half-peace to two-peace per lb. upon the extreme depression it had experienced in the course of the month, and remains at present very ready at the prices quoted. Pot and pearl ashes and rice are in limited demand, and present prices not readily realized.

From the East Indies, several more ships have arrived with cottons, sugars, coffee, indigo, &c.; which, added to the ample supplies already on hand, leaves no prospect to the importers of any improvement in value.

Spices of all kinds, it will be noticed, have submitted to a considerable decline in price.

In Baltic produce, tallow and flax have also experienced the same result, whilst hemp remains without any boyers of consequence at last month's prices.

The present low prices of grain, which has gradually declined in value, since June, 1812, from 130s. to 55s. per quarter, tends very considerably, by the diminution of the capital produced, to abridge the demand throughout the country for colouial and foreign produce in general, as well as for manufactured goods; and induces all classes of the community to look forward to the proceedings of the ensuing session of parliament for a more explicit developement of the political state of Europe, whereby lo ascertain what advantages are likely to result, either by commercial treaties such as we have previously referred to, by exportation bounties upon the productions of the soil, or by a diminution of taxes.

Bullion has remained throughout the month without any variation deserving of notice. Nor has the fluctuation of the exchanges been such as to demand attention, except with Ireland, which, in the course of the month, attained a premium of 10 per cent. above par, but again receded on the 26th to 8 per cent. The funds, it will be noticed, towards the close of the month, experienced an improvement,
