Should Great Britain open her eyes to the best interests of the China merchants, she will reduce her duty on tea, and thus increase the consumption; but in doing this she must not lose sight of her important interests in her colonies nearer home, and which take largely of her manufactures in return for their coffee. If the consumption of tea materially increases, that of coffee will fall off; and unless the consumps tion of tea does materially increase, her merchants cannot be expected to get paid for any very large quantity of her manufactures beyond her actual wants, in tea and silk. To give our readers, who are unacquainted with the subject, an idea of the British trade, as it was in the time of the Honorable Co. and under the free trade system, we will go a little into detail, by way of exemplifying our position. Ia 1825-26, the Imports and Exports were as follows: Imports. Exports. On account of the Co., $ 5,517,351 $ 8,539,240 On account of private trade, 15,723,976 12,702,087 The Imports were--Taels value.
