The trade carried on between this country and America is immenfe. At Lit erpool, fel-

two veffelS failed in the lat week of Augutt for New York, which, among many cther.. 
things, had on board 184,215 yards of cottons and muflins; 142,849 yards of printed cot- 
tons aga linens; 255,735 yards of Britith ; and 58,975 of Inith plain lmen. Excepting in 
the mid of w inter, there teldom paffes a week but one or two veffels fail from Greenock 
to the weftern world ; and at the above-mentioned period, ten or twelve veffels were load- 
ing for Americe. The raw materials, of which the above two-cargoes were compofed,. 
would not coft the nation more than 5, 0002 and they are worth above 100, 000/. . The total 
value of the exports from Great Brita to America amount to betw een eight and nine mil-— 
lions per annum, though in the year 1774 they did not exceed one million and a half.
