• I Stennected wi h the sniaject, that it seems propel to refer to it in th.s place. It provides. that for the avoiding of greh inconvenieuces wbia are found by expetience to grosi by the vrect.tig great numhers and multitudes lit cottages, which Are daily mote and more increased in many parts of the realm, no person shall erect any manner of cottage for habitation or dwelling. unless the same pers , ins do assign and lay to the same cottale or buildings four acres of ground at the least, to be occupied and manured therewith. at. Ong as the same cottage shall. be inhabited. There are ext e,uices for cottages in cities and market towns; and the habitations of work . men in mines and (platers ; and also for cottages within one mile of the WA; for cottages nn forests, chases, warrens, and pal k ; and for dwellings of herdsmen and shepherds. The probable object cf this Ac% was to enable the hblitr.f to maintains himself partly by the produce of the land under his own management. and partly by we. , king fur otters ; thus rating a middle class of 14. bolo s la ecn the f amber aad the mere day labourer. The :39:h of Etiz ibeth „hitch who shah be over s-ets • f the poor. by whom and when they shall be appitinted, their ullice and duty, their accounts, their Writ ittaes, The Committee did nct conceive they should have p.i;ornied the duties of their charge, if they had not en.kabettt,:d to bring under your Lordships' view a &bort summary of the laws preserved on the SIAM! 130 k upon this subject, from the periods at which the different p iris of the system appear to have been first established. l'hat summary is now brought down tn.the of Elizabeth; in which the different laws and provisions that had previously existed for several y ears, are united and consolidated. Fr)at lapse of ti and a departure from the true spirit of the above Act, ;arising irtquently from-the humane exercise of its suppos:n possers, abuses hare undoubtedly been idtruthiced into the gents al admin , stration of the Laws of England; but the Committee are •vertin less decidedly of opinion, that the general system of those laws, interwoven as it is with the habits of the people, ought. in the consideration of any nit4sures to be adopted for their melioration and improvement, to be essentially maintained. It is under this Act that the fund for employing the poor who are able to work. and for maintaining those who are tin. able to do•so, is raised at this,day, with several midi. fications and alterations linweVer, that have been en. acted by subsequent Statutes. • • It must be obvious to any one who considers the general scope and probable view of many of the Sta totes which have been enumerated, that at the period of their enactment the state of the country was ex treinely different from that in which it is now pieced, is many important instances ; and that consequently, though in the opinion of the Committee the system of the Poor Laws ought to be maintained, yet it must be admitted that some of their provisions are less applicable, and perhaps more difficult in the execu tion under present circumstances, than at the time of their original establishment. At that period, the po pulation of the country was chi. fly agricultural; and from the tenor of some of the eerly laws to which re ference has been made, it appears that appreheesions occasionally xisted of a deficiency even in that popu lation, for the necessary occupations of hustandry. The pmgressive inctease which has since taken place in the general population of the kingdom, and the _ swat proportion of that population which during a foil set les of years lies found a constant and advan tageous employment in the occupations of trade, hendicrett, and mantefacture, and in attendance upon the mute opulent members of the community (whose'' numbers have also increased in a great proportion), have produced impoitenechanges in the operation of the' Poor Laws; for upon the sudden failure of de mand for some of those mattufactures.which had so long afforded the greatest encouragement and the most ample means of subs:se-nee to the population of entire districts, the most serious distress has ensued. T(ie consequence has been, that those classes of per sons upon whom the assessnienks are made for the necessary maintenance and relief of the manufaituret and tisan, when suddenly :deptitied'bf their acciti- Wined means of support, haire, in shine instanas', l been exposed to a degree of preislireind embarrasie meta which has probably never been experienced to so great an extent at any former period. At the same time. hoevever, that the attention of the Com mittee has been drawn to the distress which has existed in some of the manufacturing districts, they think it material to observe, that considerable dis tress likewise appears to have prevailed in many parts of the country which are exclusively agricultural. In the prosecution of this important and extensive inquiry the Committee have examined a variety of witws%es, several of whom have attended voluntarily, without summons, for the purpose of offering such information at they possessed respecting particular distorts. From the general result of the evidence, it has appeared t' the Committee, that though in some of the districts, and in some of the country parishes not containing any large or populouir towns, the in mate in the rates has not been of any great anstiunt, and in some less than might have been expected un der all the circumstances of the present time (refer ring more particiderly to the effects of the nnlavnur able harvest of last year throughout Europe, and also to the want of employment which has been Se-. verely frit in many parts of the country) ; yet in other districts which are almost etclusively agricul turist, the Committee have reason to believe that very greet distress has prevailed, and that the rates hive been considerab:y augmented. In the manufacturing districts, as has been aheady observed, where the po ptilakion has of late greatly exceeded the demand tot labour, the buitiien of the rates has been particularly severe, notwithstanding the large subscriptions which have. been raised by pi ivate and (as will .appear from evidence annexed) a vii y generedeind nwritorsous attention to the admint,tiation of • the. ' funds, on the part of the oeeiseer*,and other persons appointed to supetintend U.e management of the poor in 'snow of thegreat manufacturing towns. In the course of the evidence litany details are enumerated of the actual amount and comparative increase of the rates in different places and at dif -ferent periods; and information has been who col lected-of the manner in which relief is given, and of the description of persons who partake of it in dd. fererit parts of the kingdom. In many parishes a system has been adopted, in consequence of the de cirreee in the demand for work, of employing la- Witten in rotation amongst the farmers; and in some places this practice has been earned nth an ex tent. that fewer regular labourers have been employed than the necessary works in husbandry would have required upon each farm : those works having been performed by (what arc called) mund,men, at less than the mutt rate of wages. lVherever superfluous labourers have :teen employed in works, not of abso lute necessity, but which have been undertaken anti executed by individuals for the sake of affording re lief and furnishing employment to those who could not otherwise have obtained it, this practice must have afforded an important though temporary relief; but in the case referred to, as stated in the evidence, the effect of the system of roundsmen has been to throw upon the general rates of parishes in %%filch the system has prevailed, in the most direct and obvious manner, a very considerable proportiou of the wages of that labour, the charge of which ought to have, been defrayed by the individuals for whom it was performed. The Committee have also observed, in the course of their inquiry, that a practice which appears to have commenced at the period of scarcity in the year 1795, and which was continued in the years 1800 and 1801. of making sip to labourers with families the insufli ciency of their usual wages by aid from the poor rates, has teen regularly continued in many pacts of the kingdom ; a practice which, though it may have prevented for some time the raising of the direct price of labour, has been to a certain degree attended with the injurious .effect of taxing those who have no interest in it with a proportion of the expense. Independently of this indirect addition to the poor rates, the general amount o: it receives a still further increase by other charges of a public nature, in no way applicable to the maintenance or relict of the poor. Of this description are the various charges connected with the Militia, and whatever sums are expended in. the building and repairing of gaols, of county bridges, of shire halls, the expense of criminal prosecutions, of indictments for roads, and •fines in consequence of such indictments ; as well as other charges which are of a public nature, and defrayed out of theconnty rate. The Committee have therefore felt it an important part of their duty to inquire into the mode of assess ing property to the poor-rate : and into the construc tion that has at any time been put upon those words in the Statute of the 43d of Elizabeth, which, in de. set ibing the persons on whom the rate is to be levied, appear to raise a distinction between the inhabitants of a parish and the occupiers of land and houses. It appears that in differe:a instances personal pro perty has been assessed to the poor-rates, though in sonic cases appeals have been made against such a mode of rating. From the decisions of the Courts, the principle tat rating other property than land and 11011StIS appears to have been generally admitted to be consistent with law; but the difficulty has consisted in describing the Sort of property which is liable to assessment; as it has been deemed essential that it should be some local and visible property within the parish for which the assessment is made.

VENYZLELIANS—Tbe artifices of the Spanish Government and your own candour, in 1812, pre pared for you a period of unfortunate events. At that time our enemies, availing themselves of a tre mendous earthquake with which, on the 2fith March, DIVINE Peovtovece visited us, caused the effects of that same fanaticism to prevail which they had pre viously employed without success; and in conse quence of the general state of terror and alarm with which the people were then cost down, they suc ceeied in obtaining a Trezty that left the country subject to the controul of the Spanish Cortes, under the new Constitution they had themselves formed. This Treaty was solemnly signed and exchanged on' 2Gth April by the Spanish Chief Monteverde, who immediately after violated it in all its parts, and in a monster the most outrageous. Horrible excarcera lions, which a considerable part of the inhabitants ex perienced ; confiscations, banishments, murders, as ' well as every species of cruelty, were the return you met with for your too great confidence and good faith. Hence arose those very mistoitunes we have now to deplore, but they are such, however, as posterity will justly appreciate, whenever a faithful history of our emancipation is exhibited to tke world. " Several of the determined Patriots who succeed ed in escaping from the vigilance of our oppressor, Monteverde, and among them our present Chief, General Bolivar, at that time proceeded on to the Congress of New Granada, in order to solicit resources to free our afflicted brethren. Having obtained them, in the following year, ISIS, they entered into the ter ritory of Venezuela, every where triumphing over our enemies, and, aided by your valour no less titan by the alum of our distinguished General Marino, who, with the tweet assembled in Guiria and Maturin, had completely routed Montevei de in Camana, they succeeded iu the Jr•establishment of our Republic. and tlie enemy was shut tip in the only point he held of Puerto Covello. " U.:teflon:ately, however, in the following years, 1814 and 1815 1 we were again destined to experience' new diA.,attrs, through the rare and unexpected events of the peace; and the return of Ferdnand to the Tin one of Spain. The captious Proclamations of his Monarch,' together with his fake promises con tamed in the respective Decrees of Valencia and 1 1 Madrid, through the means of cunning and wicked etu.4.4t ies, soon inundated our country, when the royalist tioops prevailed over the areas of the Repub• lie, wl.ieii was a second time destroyed. and the ern. pare of despotism again re-estabiishel in Venezuela. •• In this melancholy situation it was nut long be it LiviNe Paovinxsce furnished the Independents wish flesh means so recover their lust liberty. The Island of Margarita was the spot Irons which this gluii4'ius.enterprize was to issue. There, at the close of 1813, the general*ery against oppression suddenly but st forth. The while of its inhabitants, with the invincible Ariamendi at their head, though previously disarmed, rise up again's:, defeat the enemy, and at last compel him to shut himself up in the fortress of Panipatar, whence eventually he is obliged to embark with the small remnant of his forces.

Rept.hiic. An unforesen accid. nt frustrated part of the great project of General Bolivar, when, about the bt.g , rittris of July, lie landed at Octimare ; but this did not stop the march of the main division of the army, commanded by Sir Gregor Nl.Greyor. Tats intrepid General, aided by thevaliant Colonels Su. blot and Pinango, constantly irks opherl, pentirated from Choroni to the very heart of Venezuela, and overcoming insurmountable obstacles, triumphed over the enemy commanded by Quero and Morales ; dislodged the Spaniards from the plains of Barce lona, and obtained a victory in the battle of the lOth September, which was followed by the bloody one of the 27th, when our arms were completely victorious. From that period Republican valour has uni t formly displayed itself in every part of the confede ration, and HEAVEN was propitious to our cause.— Hence have our divisions, headed by the brave l'aez, Urdaneta, and Santander, obtained signal victories in the •allies of Casanare, Cucuta, and Sogamosa, over the execrable Spanish Chief , . Calzada and Mo rino, authors of the unheard of cruelties and horrors committed in Carthagena, Santa Fe, Popayar, So. corro, and San Gil. Subsequently the invincible Bo livar and Freites covered themselves with glory at Barcelona, in the celebrated action of the Bth of Fe bruary, when they also gaiued a memorable victory. The provinces of GUayana and Cumana, with the ex ception only of their respective capitals, are already freed front the Spanish yoke. Latterly the provinces I of Varinas, Merida, and Truxillo, have joined our Republic, nor have they any thing to fear from the enemies parties, whose entire attention is taken up in guarding the points of Carthagena, Santa Martha, and Rio de la Hacha. " Venezuelians f—l have just exhibited to your view a short compendium of our misfortunes and our glories, from the year 181'2 up to the present time. In consequence of the advantageous position in which we are now placed, and freed also from the former prejliflices which unfortunately held too much sway among us, we mist be sensible that, after the many and great sacrifices, this snare independence we have sworn to sustain, has cost, and still costs to us, no thing is wanting to secure it for ever but union and constancy. With these, shortly shall we put an end to this terrible struggle between slavery and freedom. Let us never, therefore, think of throwing clown our arms till the day is completely our own. At the same time let us have peace, friendship, and trade, with all the rest of mankind. Let there also exist in every part of Venezuela, perfect civil and religious freedom ; let this be established in favour of huma nity, and our common happiness. " My own fate of a prisoner, now changed into that of a free man, through the interposition of the British Government,enables me to co-operate actively, as I formerly did, in support of our glorious cause. To it and to your principles I have been faithful in adversity. You already possess too many proofs of the purity of my sentiments and views, for you to doubt of either of them. Liberty and independence have been, and still are, the general wish of the great Columbian family, to which all of • s belong by a natural right. Let us therefore unceasingly make the greatest efforts to obtain arid enjoy with security, such inestimable benefits. For my own part, I consi , der myself bound to omit no sacrifice that may pio mote this important and desirable end. " From the West India Islands, I now again come among you, in order, with the greatest pleasure, to continue my services in favour of our just emancipa tion, preserving at the same time profoundly engraved on my heart, the most sincere and respectful acknow ledgments to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent of Great Britain, his wise Parliament, as well as his generous Admirals, for the inestimable benefits they have bestowed upon me, by enabling me again to re turn to my country, in order that I may entirely dedi. cate myself to the happiness and glory of the Re public. .. _ _ _ •6 Let us always be vigilant in avoiding every thing that may oppose the smallest obstacles to the happy issue of our enterprize. Let jealousies, private pique, and animosities no longer exist among us. Let us all act with the greatest union, activity, and con stancy, in order that our illustrious wartiors, who have done so many and such great deeds, may soon effect the complete expulsion of our enemies, and secure for ever the establishment of our Republic.
