During the last two years, this important trade has continued 
to increase. The whole number of vessels which arrived in 
China, and departed therefrom, under the American flag, during 
the year ending June thirtieth, eighteen hundred and thirty-four, 
was seventy-nine. Of these, thirty-three sailed for the city of 
New-York, thirteen for Manilla, nine for Batavia, six for Phila- 
delphia, four for Boston, three for Valparaiso, four for Cowes, 
one for Lima, one for Baltimore, one for Salem, one for the 
Texel, one for Hamburgh, one for Kamtschatka, one for Norfolk 
Sound, one for the United States, port not specified, and one for 
South America, port not designated. Thus do we stand, second 
only to Great Britain, in the extent and importance of our com- 
mercial interests in the east ; and it is not easy to estimate the 
vast field which will be opened to the commercial enterprise of 
our merchants, should a freer and more extended trade be effected
