39^ A VOYAGE TO BbOK IX* 



in other parts for vent : and having made up their 

 gains in filver or gold they remit it to the bank in 

 London : and as in their own country they fland in 

 no need of coined gold or filver, they purchafe with 

 the yearly returns of their gains fuch goods as they 

 want : and thefe they fend to Bofton on their account. 

 Thus the commerce is every where kept up ; and the 

 filver and gold fpecie remain in England. The 

 wealthy inhabitants of Boflon have at the fame time 

 two capitals one in effe6ls and paper-money ; and 

 the other returns from the bank, where the principal 

 refts without any diminution. 



Having given this fhort account of the happy 

 Hate of thele Englifh colonies ; and the means by 

 which they are maintained, I fhall add, as a conclufion 

 of this fubjedt, that the unfortunate Delivrance was not 

 the only (hip deceived by the falfe appearance of 

 Louifbourg being ftiJl in the hands of the French. 

 The fame fate befel the Charmonte and Heron, two 

 homeward-bound Eaft-Indiamen ; and who had orders 

 to touch at no other port than Louifbourg, where 

 they would find a fquadron of men of war, under 

 whofe convoy they might fafely reach Europe.
