AMERICAN DUTIES. Mr. HUSKISSON said he rose. pursuant to the notice belled given, to bring under the consideration of the House the subject of the United States of Ame r i ca , as far. as that ' subject related to the commerce of that country. His object was not to elicit him his Majesty' s Government any declaration of their senti mei is with re. faience to - the Government of the United Staves, as te pitied the commercial interests of this country, neither was-it his wish to notice the tendency of those Acts which had latdli passed in the United States, he thought detri mental to their asin interests, and-tending to im2ede the coMmacial progress of this country. As far aslire Gn. vernasent vtNltl concerned, it was not expedient, sr elogll, e impottattar of - the subject; ander present circumsta.icel to:give - to that subject all the consideration it deserved; neither *al it for him, an individual Member if Pa r ii„. meat, to state his opinions upon matters which involved such swirlier, of interests. In the year 1815, soon after the termination of the war, this country entered into a Convention with the United States, which was to con tinue for a period of four years. That Convention %%,Ji nearly the first of those Treaties, which had been since so. much abused, under the name of " Reciprocity 'Tea. ties," audit was the model upon which other Treaties 'subsequently entered into had been miiirlded. i t was founded on the simple principle. that menu 'Patties should be exported or imported withi'ut faience to the national character t f the ships in Which such commerce was carried on. Atter the four years of this 'treaty were expired, it was renewed for ten years farther, and that Treaty would expire in the October of this year. The policy, the wise policy, cf the United States, would have been, t impose upon Ain; Iles imported no farther duties than were necessary to provide for the adequate revenue of the State—the du ties on wool, cotton, and hardware being then very low. Bet in the year 1823 a change in the policy of the United States took place, and they adopted a scaler f very high duties, which were chiefly on the staple manufactures of this country—the duties on wool, cotton, and hard ware being greatly increased. They also adopted other duties, Which he thought were in direct violation of the Treaty of 1818,and imposed a duty on rolled iron nea r ly one-half greater than that formerly placed on Odes made by the process of hammering. This was cer tainly a breach of the principle i f the Treaty, and it- led to a remonstrance on the part rf this coun try, which was considered' by the Congress, but which led to no satisfactory results and when, in 1826, the American Minister to this country proposed to re new the convention of 1818 for ten years, he (Mr. Hut kisson)' was charged with the conducting of it, and be stated two objections--the first was, that the duties ins. posed ought not to apply to the manufacture instead of the quality of the article ; and the second was, that in. asmuch as increased duties were placed upon articles chiefly theinanufacture of England, this was in oppo sition to the spirit of the Treaty which had been entered into; and that in the year 1827, when it was soughtto impose duties still mote extravagant, it was determined only by the casting vote of the President. He (Mr. Huskissoi) did not consider that this country ought to enter into a treaty for other ten years, but that the treaty should be of such a nature as to be dissolved by either party, upon giving twelve months notice. This Convention was renewed in August last, upon this prin ciple, but since that period the American Congress had added other duties, particularly upon wool, hardware, and cotton, and those duties were so great as to amount almost to a prohibition . ; and, as in the year before the proposition for an increase was ri jetted by a majority at one, in the year 1827 it was carried by a great ma jority. But he understood that the men best informed upon such subjects in the United States looked upon the increase as highly piejesdiciah to their interests; certain it was that - every country . looked to every question with reference to their own particular interests, and on that principle 'he did not complain cf the United States; but on that principle also was it that we ought to look to our itself course so as to correct that feeling in other's:'' 'He was not one of those who advocated a sys tem of protribitny warfare, but it we did not adopt some course of the kind we should forfeit our claim to equality; and justify 'complaint on the part rf other 'countries 'whir were dealing with us in a fairer aad luster manner. Neither was it consistent with the dig' oiry-Oftrisiountry to preserve silence when it perceived attempts to injure or al destroy its commerce. The people of the United Stites deceived tlemselves if they ,supposed that we had ncs ample means Of man.festilig our feelings, even under the Convention ; but it loci 'however, open to us to put an end to that conven tion by due notice given, and this ass, in his oeenion, the more manly course, if redress could not be obtained, if we could not terminate that system of commercial talky which England was n(ttue tint to begin, but was the first to lament. The piiaiiPalexpoits of A ig.egicag -tilbaoco, rice, cotton, and . turpentine, were not manufac tured in this country, but were merely sent to this cooing for consudiption, and with those articles it would not be -diffictilt to sups ly ourselves from other solutes. Floe -India we could certainly pre cure the two former, and, with respect to cotton, Milo ugh there might at first ap• pear some difficulty, it might be safely stated that if we gave to India the same encouragement with respect to 'cotton that we had given with respect to indigo, we s hould :Noon see the cotton of the eastein world the rival or the Cotton of the western world. The indigo of ludo was formerly considered of very inferior quality, but it now brought a larger price than that from any other quitter' The article of tobacco it would be easy to procure from South America, and the people of that country would re ceive in return articles cf our manufacture, without loading them with exorbitant duties. It would therefore be a question at least worth consideration, whether we ought not tolook to our interests with reference to prow' tion against that system,which too plainlyindicates a wish ' to exclude British manufactures from the United States' That such a system would be unsuccessful he believe& because industry and ingenuity 'would find out stmt channel by which, if not legitimately, in some othe r Way, such articles would be introduced ; it was, how' ever, his wish, that no such channel might be opened , because it would create most painful feelings, feelings which might be attended by inconvenience, if riot by danger; yet such would be, he believed, the i n evitab. lr , coarse. He had no doubt that the United States woui ° be greatly prejudiced by the course they had taken ; and he thought that, without going into very did's'', details, he could prove . it by reference to the history o f he commercial intercourse of the two countries s in c e she termination of the last contest between them. W)th . ut. however, going into the details of the growt h 2n e d , irogress g f that commerce,he felt the factcould her o iy reference to the trade in a single tic .
