and exquisitely delineated; the other, of precisely the same proportion, represents the eminences and depressions of the moon determined as to their form with the utmost accuracy. producing their shadows when the sun is only a few degrees above the horizon of each part. The former of these was beautifully and most correctly engraved by Mr. Russell, who had likewise very considerably advanced in the engraving of the latter, when death terminated his labours; it is, however, left in such a forward state, that it will be finished with the greatest exactness, and all possible dispatch.

Mr. William Russell, son of the late

Mr. Russell, proposes to publish by subscription these lunar plates, which have been long promised to the scientific world; and the first engraving is now offered for their inspection. The whole will be incomparably the most complete lunar work ever offered in any age-a work, the more carefully it is examined, whether as to its accuracy or elegance (effected, indeed, by extreme labour during twenty-one years), the more it will excite the wonder and admiration of the diligent inquirer.

The utility of these engravings is best expressed in the author's own words: "The principal use of the moon to astronomers, is, that of ascertaining the longitude of places by the transit of the earth's shadow, when the moon is eclipsed. The shadow of the earth coming in contact with many known spots, if the observation be inade in different places at the same time, the longitude of each place could by this means be ascercained wish great precision, provided the spots to be made choice of be sufficiently represented and recognised, but there being no faithful delineation of the moon, and the edges of thots which are known being undefined, the observations made have not been so useful as .could be wished: for this purpose, it is believed, Mr. Russell's labours will be found very useful, and will very much add to the certainty and precision of the observations on lunar eclipses; as the chief design of his planisphere, representing the moon in a state of opposition to the sun, is directed to this end, and which he has spared no pains in bringing to perfection.”

These engravings, it is expected, will not only prove of great utility to the astronomer, but lead to many important speculations in natural philosophy. The remarkable changes of forms in various eminences, the different radiations of light observable at one age of the moon and not at another, with its numerous surprising phenomena, are in these plates faithfully and fully expressed, so as to form a work, it is presumed, highly interesting in the departmcuts either of astronomy, or natural philosophy.

STATE OF TRADE.

Commerce is that generally connecting bond which unites mankind: it cannot be disturbed or destroyed in one place, solely. Those who raise the article originally, and those who consume it; those who deliver, and those who receive, are reciprocally deeply interested, if not equally. By custom and habit, that becomes a necessary, which at first might easily have been dispensed with, or, if it had never been introduced, the want of itwould not have been felt. Such is the description of very many of the subjects of commerce. Nature has distributed to all parts of the earth sufficient sustenance for its inhabitants: commerce exchanges superfiuities; but, after a lapse of time, these superfluities become comforts, and, at length, necessaries. Whoever, then, prohibits the exchange of commodities, prohibits the reception of comforts and necessaries, by those, to whom habit is become a second nature, and these suffer little less by the privation,, than those who raise, or those who deliver, suffer by the interruption of their industry. It is true, that, for a time, severe edicts may terrify dealers; but, after a while, so many will find their advantage in eluding the measures taken to enforce them, that in some place or other, and gradually in many places, the barrier will be broken, and what dare not shew itself publicly, will be introduced by stealth. Such will prove, in all probability, the consequences of those oppositions to and interruptions of, the British commerce in Europe, which Buonaparté has projected and endeavoured to establish. Neither will his BLOCKADE of Great Britain, meet with more effectual success. He has not power to enforce it, and especially, as it is the mutual interest of thousands of individuals, indeed of whole nations, to counteract the intentions of this violent chief. We hope, therefore, in no very distant period to congratulate our country on the undiminished value of its trade; and we intend to present in our Monthly Report, such information as facts may warrant, and which we doubt not from the quarter whence we are favoured with it, dence of our readers. will fully justify the dependence and confi

Lloyd's Coffee-house, Dec. 15, 1806. TIME sufficient has not yet passed for the return of the ship; which sailed with goods

for BUENOS AYRES. Six weeks is the time for a single ship in full lading; eight weeks the medium tine for a convoy of merchantmen, to accomplish the passage in, between the British West Indies and the ports of Great Britain and Ireland. The distance to Buenos Ayres is so much farther, that three months may be allotted as the term for that voyage. The returns of the ships which have gone thither, cannot then, be within less than six months from the period of their depar

ture.

It is not improbable but the conquest of Buenos Ayres, and other places on the continent of South America, may be viewed, at first, with no high satisfaction, by many inhabitants of the British West India isles. The smuggling trade by the West Indies to Spanish America yielded, a hundred years ago, between one and two millions sterling. It was particularly encouraged, in 1766, by the opening of a number of free ports, to admit raw materials-excepting only the staple articles of British colonial produce; and to send out British manufactures; both free of duties. From those free ports the Spanish dominions in America have received ever since, by smuggling, a great share of their supplies of European commodities. But our conquest of Buenos Ayres, and our new views on the continent of South Amnerica, now threaten to change almost the whole course of this trade.

At Hamburgh, and in other parts of Germany, the French have seized much less British property than they had expected. But, British merchants have not lately hazarded too much of their property within the reach of the French, upon either consignments or unpaid bills of exchange. A good part of the British property at Hamburgh was reshipped, and sent down the Elbe, as the French troops approached. In other instances, the British property has been more or less covered by the seasonable transferrence of it to protected foreigners. Not a few, however, of those who had British produce or manufactures, the property of persons of this country, in their hands, have dishonourably betrayed it to the French, and gone snacks with the plunderers.

Tonningen is, it seems, shut against the British trade. Dantzick is, also, within the power of the French. As, at this season, the last freights were prepared to be sent off for the ports of Britain, before the shutting up of the Baltic by the winter-frosts, it is probable that, wherever the exports of the countries on the Baltic have not been inter

cepted by the French in the interior country, they may have been shipped for this country in a proportion unusually large. The Baltic being shut in winter by frosts, the French progress in that quarter will not, for some

months, materially injure us. Bet it interrupts cultivation, and breaks into the steadiness and regularity of commercial undertakings and correspondence.

The port of Gottenburgh is, for the present, much a gainer by the obstacles to the British trade in Germany and the Baltic. Our commodities must, for some time, be sent to it in large quantities.

Although the amount of the British property seized at Hamburgh be, comparatively, inconsiderable, yet our trade suffers much by the capture of that city. Bills had been drawn from the West Indies upon the consignments of produce; were accepted; were to be paid; could not be paid but upon the faith of bills again drawn upon consignments to Hamburgh. Since the consignments to Hamburgh are, if not lost, returned unsold, what becomes of the bills of exchange drawn in dependence on their sale? And how are the consignees in London to pay the bills of their West India correspondents? or, having paid them, to replace the money with their bankers, for the future business of their own trade? Besides, so much West India produce being thus left unsold, sugars and coffees become quite a drug in the market. The cost of sugar is such, that, at its present Gazette price, the planter can scarcely clear 12s. per cwt. by it. The continent of Europe is for coffees, still more than for sugars, the grand place of sale; England but a temporary depôt. What a severe blow then, does the present exclusion of British commodities from Germany and Holstein give to the hopes of the West India coffee planter, who was extending his plantations? It is, however, some comfort to reflect, that the people on the continent cannot subsist without coffee, and cannot have it in any adequate proportion from Arabia and Turkey, nor even by the intermediation of the Anglo-Americans, or the Danes. It is also, remarkable, that our trade to the continent of Europe, and even that part of its export which is in colonial produce, should have been, hitherto, so little injured by all Buonaparte's malicious endeavours. Its annual real value still exceeds £25,000,000 sterling; of which, more than £13,000,000, is in West India produce.

Buonaparté has wildly declared all neutral ships, entering or quitting British or Irish harbours, to be subject to capture by French ships of war or privateers. The proud formality of declaring the ports of the British empire in a state of blockade, may swell his presumption. It may even enhance the terror with which he is regarded on the contiDent. What more can it do? The Danes, the Portuguese, and the Anglo-Americans, are excluded by it, so far as France has naval power to enforce the blockade from taking part, hereafter, in the carrying navigation of

British commerce. But, will this take away the necessity for British goods on the continent, or in any other quarter where they are now, in ordinary consumption? Not at all. It can operate, only as a boon to our ship-owners. It must restore to them, some part of that carrying trade which had passed to neutrals, because neutrals could perform it cheaper. It must enhance the prices to the French, and other foreigners, by increasing the expense of freight, insurance, and other contingencies.-This is all. It will not even encourage the institution of manufactures abroad, to rival ours. The obstacles of the wars on the continent are too insurmountable. It cannot but prove teizing to the Anglo-Americans: and it must tend to enflame their previous irritations against France.

Our trade to the Levant, and to the Black -Sea, was threatened with some interruption by differences breaking out between Russia and Turkey. Hitherto it has not been disturbed in the Turkish ports. In the Italian seas, and on the coast of Barbary, it is sufficiently active. Nor is it less so in the Portuguese ports, for the supply of Portugal, Spain, and the Brazils.

The country trade of the British in India, both that of the company, and that of private merchants, is constantly enlarged. From the Red Sea to the most eastern coast of Asia is its range. British goods, those of Abyssinia, Arabia, and Persia, those of Hindoostan, China, &c. are the subjects of its traffic. It carries its enterprizes a great way inland. It is incessantly enlarging the Oriental markets for British manufactures.

The agricultural colony at Botany Bay is advancing gradually into a great mart for both British and East India produce. It is expected that the colonists of that settlement may be shortly able to furnish, from hides and wool, hemp and flax, their share in the Southern Whale Fishery, and from the part they may take in the fur-trade between India, and the north-west coast of America,-exports sufficient to repay for all the imports which the progress of the colony demands.

It is proposed, as an object highly important in a commercial view, to make a small establishment, on the now almost depopulated island of Otaheite; and to render it useful in the navigation to and from Botany Bay, as a place where ships may procure abundant supplies of pork and vegetables. The King of Owhyhee is making himself master of the other Sandwich Isles, is improving them to the greatest prosperity of agriculture and population; is ambitious to make them seats of nranufactures and commerce; and even proposes to open a trade to Nootka Sound, and to Bengal.

The trade for furs to the north-west coast of America is entirely, or almost entirely, in -the hands of the subjects of the United States. VOL. I. Lit. Pan. Jan. 1807.]

It is lucrative. India and China are the places of sale for the furs. One should think, that it might have been shared by British subjects. But, our Canada fur trade is profitable; as is, likewise, that of the Hudson's Bay company.

The progress of the Anglo American conmerce deserves particular notice. The United States avail themselves, every day, more of their extent of sea-coast, their great rivers, their ship-timber and all their other advantages for navigation and commerce. They trade directly to our establishments in the East; and supply not only America, but even Europe with East-India commodities. They are, at the present time, carriers of the greater part of imports to the value of between nine and ten millions sterling, which America receives, annually, from Great Britain and Ireland. They have long carried on a vast trade to the French and Spanish West-Indies. They acquire continually more of the provision and lumber trade of our British sugar colonies.

The commercial intercourse between London and Ireland is, now, in full activy. The exchange with Dublin is but at 12 per cent, 34 above par, against Ireland. The imports from Ireland into the port of London, in the 14 days, ending December 5th, were 40 tons of beef; 595 tons butter; 40 tons bacon; 10 tons paper; 40 cwt. bees wax; 24,830 gallons of Irish brandy; 1,100,000 quills; 553,625 yards of Irish linen. Of these articles there are so many, not in raw produce, but in different states of manufacture, as to evince, that, if the political turbulence of their country were once entirely at rest, the Irish might quickly enrich theinselves by manufacturing industry, to a degree that should leave them nothing to envy in the manufacturing wealth and activity of Great Britain.

The 3 per cents. now fluctuate between 58 and 59. The necessity that many stockholders are under, to sell out more or less, for the payment of their Christmas bills, is supposed to have been the chief cause of t decline in the prices of Stock. The late disappointments at Hamburg have aided this effeet. It is, besides, natural, however moderate the loan immediately wanted for the service of Government, that the expectation of such a loan, should operate, in some sort, to the depretiation of the present Stocks. Omnium, a few months since, at 13 per cent, prem. is now below 1 per cent premium. The following facts are interesting in the review of the fluctuations of our stocks since 1792. 3 per cent Consol.
