MONTHLY COMMERCIAL REPORT. 
T is with great pleafure we announce the arrival of a valuable Eaft India fleet, confifting of 
fixteen fail, together with eleven whalers, under convoy of the Sampfon maa of war. They 
left St. fia the 1ftof February; our next will probably give fome particulars of their cargoes, 
&c. &c. We regret to find that the Adamant’s convoy out to India, has arrived at a very bad 
market, being overftocked with all kinds of European merchandize, confequently the govds
