2623. ENGLAND, Commerce with.—[further continued]..
The bill lately passed in England, prohibiting the business of this
country with France from passing through
the medium of England, is a temporary embarrassment
to our commerce, from the unhappy
predicament of its all hanging on the
pivot of London. It will be happy for us,
should it be continued till our merchants May
establish connections in the countries in
which our produce is consumed, and to
which it should go directly.—
