COMMERCE.

TREATIES

The productions of different countries, exchanged by means of travellers, who derived a profit from their adventures, constituted Commerce: and whether those travellers formed caravans, and crossed vast wastes of sterile sand, or fleets, adventured on tumultuous waves, their object was the same; they interchanged the commodities of distant regions. Nature had hoped that these mutual benefits would preserve that fraternal affection

WITH THE

ACTS THEREUNTO ANNEXED.

Presented to both Houses of Parliament, BY COMMAND OF H. R. H. THE PRINCE REGENT, 1816.

WHEN the overflowing mass of mankind wandered to distant settlements, and formed Kingdoms and States, separated by extensive Oceans, or almost impassable deserts, from their original habitation, Nature derived consolation from the impulse of a principle, which she had carefully implanted in the human heart. To every country was allotted the power of producing the necessaries of life; but, these did not limit the desires of man. He still hankered after somewhat, known or supposed to exist among his brethren; and they, in return, desired to receive from him proofs of his good fortune, specimens of the bounties of nature, which contributed to his enjoyments, or of the labours of his ingenuity, by which he encreased the number of his conveniencies, or augmented the stores of his wealth.

tion of which she contemplated with pain for all must be thoroughly convinced, that Commerce could be continued, only while friendship prevailed; and while harmony of sentiment, or at least, a spirit of forbearance, diffused its protecting influence throughout the whole of human feelings.

The establishment of Commerce, is almost the same as prohibition of war; where the occupation of rage is the spreading of misery, every thought is on the stretch to devise means of present shelter; imagination cannot be allowed to roam abroad in quest of foreign enjoyments. Where Peace sits side by side with Prosperity, the desire of obtaining may be encouraged to prompt the ability to ob tain. Whoever, therefore, determines to prohibit war, let him encourage commerce. Whoever can establish commerce, ensures peace. Whoever regulates commerce by permanent regulations, does more than the most solemn treaties towards confirming the pacific disposition of nations; he reduces to practice, what otherwise were barren theory; whereas, in active operation, every day
