built ships, owned by British subjects, and navigated according to the laws of
Great-Britain:  And whereas this proceeding, which excludes the vessels of any
of the United States from carrying the growth or produce of said states, or any

from said islands any of their growth or produce, is repugnant to the principles
of reciprocal interest, and aims at the sole monopoly of the carrying trade;
