*,* The above, and four following Statements, have been compiled from a return made to 
Parliament in the Session of 1824, (Paper No. 274.) and the results which they exhibit 
ure so extraordinary, as to excite in the mind of most persons an utter disregard, by their 
apparent incredibility. It will be seen by the fifth following Statement, that in:the six 
ears 1817—1822, the Official Value of the EXPORTS to EUROPE are represent- 
ed as exceeding the Official Value of the IMPORTS from thence, by the enormous and 
incredible Amount of £ 110,654,070!!!. Is the fact really so, and if so, how, has the ex- 
cess of Export been equalized? It is not the mere display of Figures and Amounts, although 
sufficiently interesting in themselves, that is the object of these Illustrations ; but by analysis 
and demonstration, to ascertain and to exhibit the nature and tendency of the Commercial 
relations of GREAT BRITAIN with the several Nations of the World, in an intelligible 
and conclusive point of view. It seems desirable, therefore, in the first place, to shew what is 
meant by the term Official Value, which implies a fixed Value. assigned as far back. as 
1694, to each article Imported and Exported, and may therefore be considered as denoting 
QuANTITY, rather than Value, and may or may not have a relation to the CURRENT 
VALUE of the present time. In addition to the Imports ipecyies in the American Division 
of the above Statement a considerable quantity of Produce is’s ipped direct from thence tothe 
Continent of EUROPE on British Account, by which it may be eRe p the external 
Commercial relations of GREAT BRITAIN are somewhat less ruinous ‘than represented 
in the following Statements; as regards the transactions with South America the Brazils & 
Foreign West Indies, it may be so, but, it is important to know that sahatecen additional ad- 
vantages may accrue by indirect means to a part, makes the aggregate result worse, rather 
than better; the advantage of the one part being only an nation Svom some other part.
