A work, highly interesting to the public, is now in the press, and will appear shortly, entitled "Negotiations with America," containing a collection of important facts on the navigation and colonial system of Great Britain, which will include the two reports of the board of trade in 1784 and 1791, on the intercourse between America, and the British West Indies, &c. The proceedings of the Society of ship owners of Great Britain, and several other valuable papers on the present state of the navigation of the country, & the greater depression of the British shipping, &c.—Also in the press, and will be published at the same time, uniformly with the above, the debates in parliament since 1782, on the navigation and colonial system of Great Britain, on the temporary and permanent bills relating to the trade of America with the British Dominions and in particular the debates on the West India and American intercourse bills of last session, which will be given more in detail than in any other publication—with an appendix, containing all the official papers on the subject, the memorials from the British colonies in America, &c. and an Introduction.
These volumes are brought forward at this most critical juncture, in order, that the public attention may be directed to the imperious necessity of maintaining in future, inviolably, the colonial system of Great Britain, and which has become of infinitely higher importance to the nation, from the mischievous and ruinous consequences which have resulted from the impolitic concessions already made to neutrals of all denominations but especially to those of the United States of America.
