Legislative Council Papers Relating to an Act of the Assembly of the Province of New-York For encouragement of the Indian trade, &c. and for prohibiting the selling of Indian goods to the French, viz. of Canada Produced by Iona Vaughan, Ross Cooling, mcbax and the Online Distributed Proofreading Canada Team at http://www.pgdpcanada.net "Papers Relating to an Act of the Assembly of the Province of New-York" by Colden et al. is a historical account produced in the early 18th century. The work explores the complex legalities and implications surrounding a specific act passed by the New-York Assembly that aimed to regulate trade with Native American nations and restrict dealings with the French. It delves into the economic motivations and sentiments of merchants, government officials, and indigenous populations affected by these legislative actions. The opening of this text presents a petition from London merchants addressing the negative impacts of an act meant to promote Indian trade while prohibiting commerce with French traders. The merchants argue that this legislation, rather than serving its intended purpose, hinders trade and drives indigenous relations into the hands of the French. They express concerns that such restrictions will alienate Native American alliances and ultimately harm British economic interests in the region. Following this, official responses from various authorities, including the New-York Governor and the Lords of Trade, reveal an ongoing debate about the effectiveness and ramifications of the act, providing a critical look at the intricate web of colonial politics and commerce during this period.
