New Haven Gazette in New Haven, Connecticut

London to New York to Calcutta and back in the trade era

A garbled but dense letter from a Philadelphia correspondent recounts British and American maritime commerce with India and China, noting ships such as the Canton and Trinton, and detailing debates on trade, protection, and government policy. It references speedings of letters, the safety of sailors, and protests against attacks on commerce, with political reflections on liberty, peace, and the United States.
