‘MONTHLY COMMERCIAL REPORT. 
RE public events of the month of May, by renewing a ftate of war between Great Bri- 
““ tain and the French Republic, have neceffarily produced confiderable changes in the 
courfe and operations of our Trade. Englifh manufa€tures cannot, indeed, be more vigi- 
lantly or more rigoroufly prohibited in France during war, than they were, ever fince the Peace 
of Amiens: And, it is not improbable but the facilities for fmuggling Britifh Goods into the 
French territory, may be even increafed by the circumftances of the war. But, it is una- 
voidable, that all articles of French produce, of which there is any confumption in this 
country, fhould, in confequence of the renewal of the war, inftantly rife in price. The 
rates of infurance have rifen, from the fame caufe. By the dangers and difficulties of a war, 
in which the greateft commercial nation of the world is engaged, the prices of all goods 
conveyed by fea, to whatever part of the world, muft be, in fagt, enhanced. The lofs will 
fall partly on the manufacturer, inafmuch as it may tend to diminifh the confumption; and 
in part, upon the confumer, who muft buy what he is to ufe at the augmented prices. The 
maritime trade of Spain, France, the Netherlands, and the Dutch provinces, is likely to be 
ruined by the war, or reduced to mere privateering adventure. That trade will, of courfe, 
be diviced between Great Britain, and thofe powers which will, moft prcbably, remain neutral, 
namely, Sweden, Denmark, the Uni-ed States of America, &c. Our military-navy pro- 
tecting our merchant-fhipping, our trade, though checked in particular branches, may pro= 
pably be, in its whole annual amount, augmented by the war. As the nation’s expence iss 
by war, fo very much increafed, it becomes in war fo much more largely a cuftomer to its 
own merchants and manufacturers, as to compenfate for all their lofs of orders from foreign 
¢ountries. © ih eh dt Pee :
