Resolved, That the Abstract of it Bill, published, and pro posed to be brought into Parliament, by certain Apothecaries, contains many clauses do ply ihjui ions to the Chemists and Drug. gists who compound and di-I:tense Medicines, and to the Public at large, inasmuch as the operation of those clauses will be to put all Compounders and Dispensers of Medicine under the controul of a Committee of Apothecaries, (distinct from the Corporate Body of Apothecaries,) and to give that Committee a power, by the snaking of bye-laws and issuing of annual licences, to use means of the grerest oppression and injustice, and eventually to place a monopoly of the compounding and dispensing of Medicines Th the hands of tlse Apothecaries, which will increase the price of Ailedicine, and consequently daninii,h the means of a large body of the community to procure necessary medical assistance. 9.. That the Chemists and Druggists having for a number of years exercised the '1 rade of Compounding and Dispensing Me dicine (by which they mean snaking up the prescriptions ot Phy sicians and Surgeons) to the satisfaction and advantage of the Public, consider it highly important to oppose this Bill in all its stages, so far as it interferes with their established and univer sally.acknow:edged business. 3.

The Population of France was in 1789, 26,000,000 individuals ; some persons computed it at only 25,000,0(X). The present population of the Empire is 42,700,0(X•, of which 28,700,000 are contained in the Departments of Old France. This estimate is not founded on mere conjecture, but on an accurate census. It is an augmentation of 2,500,000, or nearly one-tenth, within 21 , years. AGIIICULTURS. The value of the agricultural produce of France in corn, wine, oil, cattle, mineral substances, &c. is stated at 5,031,000,000 livrs. MANUFACTURES. . _ The value of manufactures of silk, wool, metal, glass, porcelain, &c. is stated at 1,300,000,000. Be sides these, it is observed, under the head New In dustry—that a most important revolution is pre paring, which must change all the commercial rAa tions existing since the discovery of the Indies; these are manufactures to supply the place of sugar, indigo, and cochineal, the value of which products stated at 65,000,000, making in the whole 6,396,600,000. But these substances are tint yet all manufactured so as to be fit for use ; the corn is not made into bread, stuffs are not manufactured into clothing, by which the definitive value of all these vidues will be aug 001474L11CR. The Exportations of France in 1912 are stated to have amounted to SS:1,000.090i The imPoTteti" l l not including 93,000,000 of specie, to 257,000,000. The excess of the exportation was 126.000,000. This bahutce in 17.148, most favourable ancient period, wag only 75,000,000. If we seek to discover the cause of the increase of our manufactures, and of our cope tinental commerce, we shall find it in the regulations of. watchful and enlightened Administration, inch. sandy occupied in encouraging our manufactures and every bird of industry, guarding by prohibitions our frontiers, and preventing every kind of rivalry; simple and uniform laws prevent discussions, and render transactions certain and easy ;—commera every where finds the same liberty, the same protec tion. Convenient roads, numerous canals, facilitate and abridge conveyance from Spain to Holland, , and to Hamburgh, the largest carriages can freely pass :—Amsterilam and Mar , seilles communicate to gether by the canals of St. Quentin and of the Ctn. ire : the navigation of the rivers is brought to per. fection, and is maintained by daily lablurs. . England has, by her Orders in Council, denation alized all flags. From' that time there wete nu longer neutrals, no longer regular maritime commumcations. This period might have been critical ; England re. lied upon it ; but the vigilance, the ability, the en ergy of our Government, have made it an epoch of amelioration ; and it is since 1806 that out industry has made the greatest progress. But it will attain the highest degree of prosperity, whtM, under a Go vernment such as ours, with all the riches cf our soil, all the activity of our manufactures, we shall oar selves enjoy that peace which is called for by the wishes of the world—that honourable and secure peace which shall restore to human industry all its developement. It is to the territorial situation which has been hut described that we owe the state of our finances, the enjoyment of the best money system in Europe; the absence of all.paper money; a debt reduced to what it ought to be, to supply the wants of all capitalists. It is this situation, Gentlemen, which enables us to support, at once, a Maritime War and two Continen. tal Wars—to have 900,000 men constantly under arms—to maintain 100,000 sailors—to keep 100 ships of the line, and as many frigates, complete or building—and to expend every year from 120 to 160 millions in public works. • rustic won Ks. Under this head are enumerated the sums expen• ded since the accession of his Imperial Majesty on the Throne, on Imperial Palaces, Fortifications, Ma ritime Por:s, Roads, Bridges, Canals, anti Public Works ; the whole amounting to 14 1 05,000,000. This is followed by a prolix enumeration of these works and their several improvements. A great part of which accounts are already before the Public. INTWOR ADMINISTRATION. The Concordat of Fontainbleau has put an end is , the dissensions of the Church. The Government has been constantly satisfied with the attachment shewn to it by the Bishops and Clergy. The ancient prin ciples of the Church of France, known by the name of the Liberties of the Gallican Church, perfectly re concile the rights of the throne and those of the Pon tifs. They ought to be constantly the basis of in struction in all the schools of the empire. MAIMS. . France has snifereclby the events of Toulon, tie civil war of the South, of La Vendee, of the West. by the affairs of Quiber on, very great losses—the best officers of her marine—the elite of the masters, mates, and crews perished there. Our squadrons, since that epoch, have beeen man ned by crews but little disciplined. The insufficiency of the maritime inscription has been acknowledged, and every year the means which it offered have befit decreasing, the inevitable result of the enemy's con stant superiority, and of the almost entire destruction of our maritime commerce. Jt is no linger possible to dissemble, that we must either despair of the restoration of our marine in time of war, or have recourse to new measures. In adop ting the first part, we should act as the administra• lion under Louis XIV. and Louis XV. did, discou raged by the defeat of La Hogue, and the cause- t quences of the war of 1758. At both epochs the marine was renounced; they discontinued constructing. The resources of the finances were directed to the land army and other departments ; but the results of this abandonment . were very fatal to the glory and prosperity of France.. England gave the law to us ; she imposed treaties . upon us which we must be able to tear from our an nals. We were ourselves obliged to demolish our ports, and receive Englo.!) Commissioners to super intend the demolition of them.. By a consequence' too natural of the superiority of her forces, England imposed newt us commercial treaties, destiuctive to our industry and when she judged proper to ! make war, to Fillage our commerce, or seize upon our establishments in the different pins of the world, she found us without naval force, and without any •I means of defending our flag: from hence that con. 1 . tempt which the peoplz of England expressed on every occasion for us. The Administration under Louis the Fourteenth and Louis the Fifteenth seat obliged to adopt the fatal part of renouncing the ma. rine ; this the derangement of our finances, or through , the real impossibility in which France in her ancient limits was, of constructing and organizing great fleets in time of war. Almost nothing is possible is to be done at Brest, or at least every thing is very difficult there, when that port is blockaded by a superior sqUadron ;—but it is possible that financial re..sons, the wants which continental wars occasioned, and the difficulty of re creating the marine, concurred, with the little energy of the administration, *occasioned the desperate reso lution of allowing our marine to perish. The losses which our squadrons have since experienced. the iss4 GRATTAN'S SPEECHES. This day was published, In avo. price 12s. boards, Volume. the First, of 'THE SPEECHES of th e RIGHT.HONOUR 1.
