It is no wonder that the New Yorkers have resolved against British goods, since the Assembly of that province is entirely guided by six Dutch planters of extensive property, who have contrived, in concert with the merchants of Amsterdam, a new mode of introducing into British America Dutch teas and other merchandize from Holland by the way of St. Eustatia, that they may contribute all in their power towards starving our manufacturers.

It is however said that the increase of the consumption of British manufactures in Canada and the other colonies, acquired by the late peace, in a great measure compensates the bad effects of the late resolutions entered into at New York and Boston.
