During the war of 17.56, it was dispated, h:tween Braken ridge and Foster, whether the people had increased 'or diminished, and what was their amount ? but with out zny decision. During the colonial war, Dovor Price revived Ow same question ; but he was more successfully ooposed ; he insisted, that there could not be more than 5,000,000 of inhabitants in Eng land and Wales ; his opponents spewed, from very sufficient documents, that there were, in England and Wales, upwards of 8,417.000 souls. These can , trarieties of opini , m were at length settled by the psi-. liamentaty of 1801, which, in opposition to the do e:rine of Dr. Plice, found in Luglaria and Wales 9,310,000 sols ; •but, did the population con tinue to increase, during the subsequent war ? Yes ; as the people had continued to multiply during the wars of 17.34 and 1776, so did they multiply during the war ut 18•;3 ; for the parliamentary enumeration of 1811 found, in England and Wales, 10,150,615. The state el the inhabitants of Scoe.and, at successive periods, gives the same result; in 1801 the enumerk. tion found 1,618,303 souls in that country, the enu meration of 1811- found 1,80.5,000. The same ob servation equa:ly applies to Ireland—the .population of Ireland, when the U.tiun was formed, in 1800, was supposed to be 4,000,000; by the late imperfect enumeration in 114, it appeared that Ireland con tained nearly (,0:)0,000 of people. It is a fact, then, that the people of the United Kingdom of Great Br,- tain ant Ireland have incread, during the I ice long wars, to 17,208,918 souls, and continue to increase and • The DOMESTIC ENTESIPRIZES OF TUE PEI - OF 11;e UNFIT!) KINGDO3I.—The best evideace of those enterptizes, together with their extent, and of their iectease, is the Journals of Parliament. Prom this record, we know how many Acts of Parliament have pissed, S:!ssian after:Session, for making local improvem:n:s of every kind, during the last thirty years, of which there have been so many periods of distressful hostilities. • In the first period of eight years, when the pence ended in 1792, And the first war began, there were passed, of Acts of Parliament, for local improve ments, 750; to the subsequent period of war, which ended with 1801, the number cf such laws for such local improvements, amounted to 1124; in the eight years ending with 1814, the number of such laws amounted to 1532. These enumerations evince clearly three points : the ' first, that the energy and enterprises of the podic ccr.tinued to increase, without interruption, during those long perods of warfare ; secondly, that the people making those local improvements, turned their energies unnn the improvement of their several districts; and thirdly e that the undertakers of those • vast e:iterp: izes found the means and money to cat, y them into effect, in their own industry, their Niro ductions, and consequent wealth. Ireland. in the mean time, has had her fall ;hate of those domestic improvements. 11L —Or THE AGRICULTURE OF THE UNITED KING• nom.—During the prei.:?nt reign, at least 3.5)4),000 acres of waste, or common land, have b..en inclosed and brought int ) tilt!,. Of those local improvements there were 1591 Acts of Parliament passed for c!ivi. ding common lands, for chaining wet lands, and for inclosing open lands; those facts alone demonstrate that the United Kingdom has been much improved in its surface during the last thirty years ; and, con sequently, is much more valuable as a collection of farms. A Board of Agri:ulture was in the-meantime established, for ascertaining the state of husbandry in every district ; for energizing the husbandmen ; for instructing all those who arc connected with lands —their reports evince a very improving agriculture every where within the kingdom ; and a very active spirit of improvement, upon better principles, appears , to have gone forth in all parts of our country ; hence, by a necessary.progress, the body of the people, either as land-owners or occupiers, became more skilful, more enterprising. and more opulent; of conse quence there was more land cultivated, with • more knowledge and more capital ; so that from more cul tivation. more skill, and more capital, thus employed in agriculture, there were more of the products of lands brought every season to market, from an im proved husbandry at home. But, since the demands of war have ceased, the prices of those products have fallen ; this is a natural consequence ; as price is al ways settled by the vibrations of supply, and demand -the supply being greater, and the' demand less ; the prices must necessarily be less. Outcries have arisen in the country, as if our whole agriculture were ruined. Those outcries merely arise, from the mutual complaints.of landlord and tenant; of those landlords and tenants, who entered into improvident Contracts during the war: there is neither outcry, nor complaint, in those districts, where the landlords did not raise their rents, during the war, when it was idly supposed that rents would rise, without limita. .tion. It does not, however, belong to my inquiry, to enter within the verge of those outcries, and com. plaints. I have demonstrated what I undertook to prove, that the United Kingdom is infinitely better improved, than it ever was before : and of conse. quence would sell for more: that the lands arc every where cultivated with more skill, and capital, with more enterprise and labour : and of consequence must produce much more than they ever did before: it is thus apparent, that our agriculture has prosper ed greatly, during those long wars.
