—That the price of furs is at present so considerably increased in France, since the cession of all North America to England, that we are advised, by letters from Paris, that several beaver manufactures cannot carry on business as usual; to supply whom, a new species of smuggling has been invented, that of importing beaver and furrs trafficked with the English in Newfoundland, and the Gulph of St. Lawrence, for the manufactures of France carried over in their fishing vessels.—Should this pernicious intercourse be suffered to continue, Great-Britain may still be rivalled by France in the furr trade, notwithstanding the latter do not at this time possess an inch of sea coast on the western continent.
