The vessel to the which the exhaustion is ascribed was (it
may perhaps be obvious) not a foreign but a British one. But
the cause by which the back part which gave birth to the first manifestation of the effect, would naturaly
be the pri cause to which, in a simple and
ordinary mode of statement, the which effect itself, the whole effect, without distinction
of parts and degrees would be ascribed. On turning
to the Table of Ship Arrivals given by our historian,
we shall find, among private ships no more than
British, the rest foreigners from various foreign states.
But among these British ships, there were but
that was not whose lading did not consist chiefly if not
exclusively of convicts.

The distinct It is in deference to what I believe were the
the more obvious, and what (I believe) are the more
common, opinions, that the distinctions between a trade of
this sort carried on with foreign ships and territories vessels and a trade of
the same sort carried on with British vessels ships and
territories, is there noted. The more closely it is examined
into, the more immaterial will this distinction (I believe)
be found to be. What is gained in this way, by upon
his Majestys subjects resident in New South Wales, by his Majesty;
subjects resident in Old Britain no more operates in no
greater degree in diminution of taxes the taxes raised upon his Majesty's subjects in Old Britain than if it had been gained by such his
those same subjects of his Majesty's in matters any other way, or
gained by foreigners. The real mischief is — that wealth
in any shape,— money; as well as any other, and not more
than any other — that wealth in any shape, raised by com
without equivalent, and therefore in the way of compulsion, by taxes,
should in so large a proportion be parted with oth for such a
fragment of an equivalent, should as to so large a proportion of it
be parted with, without equivalent, by those whose substance
is given to them in that shape composed of it, and +
+ limited in its amount by the value of the goods obtained in exchange for it.
