It is well known that the official value of British manufactures exported is much below 
their real marketable value, m consequence of the great improvement which has taken 
p.aee m almost every branch of manufacture since the rates, according to which these ac- 
counts are formed, were established; and the following is as nearly as can be ascertained 
the real value of tae exports of Great Britain in the year 1800. The reduction of the 
mnount of foreign merchandise proceeds from an old established error in rating the article 
Qi cofiee lor exportation very much above its real value.

I he following account of the export trade of France is on the authority of an official re- 
port made to the government of that country, for the year ending 22(1 September, 1800. 
lhc value, which is given in livres, maybe converted into pounds sterling with sufficient 
exactness, by allowing twenty-four livres to the pound ; but it may be proper to remark 
that the account appears defective in some particulars; and from the values being given 
almost entirely in round numbers, it may be presumed that much of it is formed on esti- 
Kia f t , es ; Considering the deranged state of the foreign trade of France since the revolution 
in that countiy, it may not however be possible to obtain more accurate particulars.

The commerce of the United States of 
America has already advanced to an extent 
w nich rivals that of some ot the principal 
states of Europe, and, in all probability, will 
materially ailed many of the long-established 
channels ot trade. The destination of the 
exports of the United States is principally to 
the West Indies, Great Britain, France, Hol- 
land, and Spain ; but some smaller branches 
ot their commerce begin to appear in all the 
trading parts of the world. The following 
statement shews the proportions of the ex- 
ports of 1804 to the dominions of each 
power :

This total is more than double the amount 
of the exports of America ten years prior to 
the above period ; and the whole increase of 
the trade ot the States since they ceased to 
lie British colonies, has been such as never be- 
fore took place in any country. The pro- 
portion ot the exports, consisting of produce 
or manufactures of the United States, and of 
foreign merchandise, was as follows : 
Domestic produce 
Foreign — 
Dollars. 
— 41,467,477 
— 36,231,597 
Total 77,699,074. 
On converting the totals of the accounts of 
the exports of France and America into Bri- 
tish money, their respective amounts will 
stand thus : 
Exports of Great Britain in £. 
1300 — _ 43,152,019 
Exports of France in 1800 — 11,315,650 
Exports of the American Status 
in 1804 — _ 17,482,291 
Had the comparison been made with the real 
value of the exports of Great Britain instead 
of the custom-house value, the superior ex- . 
tent of our foreign trade would have’ appear* 
ed still more striking.
