resting to know the relation in which the various countries of 

 the world stand to us with respect to the value and importance 

 of the commerce which we carry on with them. The following 

 table, for the year from January 1828 to January 1829, and 

 derived from an official return laid before Parliament, will shew 

 the state and value of our commerce with all countries, the first 

 column of which exhibits the value of Imports for one year ; 

 and the second, the value of Exports. If we are to judge of 

 the relative value or importance of the commerce of countries 

 by the quantity of commodities with which they supply us, we 

 shall find this shown in the first column of the table. But if 

 we are to judge of the value of their commerce by the quantity 

 of our native or colonial produce which they consume, this we 

 shall find indicated in the second column.
