On the 28th ot Jure Mr. Wilber'orce moved in the house of common', that 6000 pounds sterling be granted to Gen. Boyd. Mr. W. stated that Gen.

CAUSA. London, June It is a serious fact that in the last year 1817-18, the trade from America to China employed 7.000,000 dollars, and lb,000 tons of shipping; during the

ame tune the British trade to China occupied 6,500,000 dollars and C0,0C0 tons shipping; consequently, allowing that the American merchant receives his return in the course of one year,while the British requires nearly two years, the American trade to China is already more extensive than our own. We state this important fact on the

authority of Charles Assey, Esq. late secretary to the government of Java, author of
