LONDON: ?RUM T, JULY 8, 1814. . 1 1irst'agnin resume the subject of yesterday, on a • Cn t imitercial 'treaty with France, which our limits dfd . iitit permit us to dilate upon so much as its tnani feet, importance deserves. As intimately connected with this subject, the Petition presented by Mr. • BLACKBURN to the House of Commons, on the tith inst., from Manchester, for the repeal of the Duties of 2d. per lb. on Raw Cotton, when imported in British, and 3d. per lb. when imported in Foreign Vessels, gate rise to a short but very interesting debate. It enforced the prayer of the Petition by stating, that no such duty was imposed on this arti cle in the Coutinental States ; that they had the ad vintage of labour and provisions being lower, and I that it became impossible for the manufacturers of tliii country to carry oft a successful competition.— Mr. A. BARING said, it was his opinion, if this duty were continued, the manufactures of this country were in considerah!e danger of being soon driven out of the continental market. He said there; was no doubt, that from capital and other circum stances we had Icing been able to undersel the foreign manufactures, notwithstanding living was twice as dear here, and taxes so high ; but there was little doubt that in time manufacturing capitalists would emigrate to other countries where they could be' settled more advantageously. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, as the sth of July next year was the period to which the present duties were Ii- 1 mited, and as they formed so great a portion of the; revenue, he saw no reason why they should be re pealed before that time. However, the blockade of • America, the supply from Brazil afforded very su perior advantages, and he saw nothing in a state of peace to alarm the manufactures. Mr. FINLAY ex- , pected the CHANCELLOR would have assigned a reason why • the raw material—cotton—should be exclusively taxed. It was extremely impolitic; . nod Sbeugh, in consequence of the agitated state, the manufacture had maintained its superior.: ity, yet the continuance of the tax daring the peace i would disable competition. Mr. J. P. GEAR! con tended against the tax, and observed, that it was no doubt true that many circumstances enabled a rich country to sustain a competition with a poore r ! country, possessed of the advantage of cheapness of hibour and provisions ; but this was the first time, he believed, that it was tried to add to the disadvan tages of the richer country, a heavy tax on the raw material. Mr. Pntwes, than whom no gentleman in the House is better qualified for forming a correct I opinion upon subjects of this nature, observed, that the Minister well knew, contrary to expectation, that peace had not brought any advantages to our menu factures, and that they were actually in considerable alarm. It was novel to him that the war with Ame rica was advantageous to the manufactures. Several Gentlemen, whe had examined into the state of the manufactures of France and the Continent, were sur prised at the progress which they had made. Is France, the lower sorts 'of yarn were successfully manatee - tared, and the step to the •finer sorts was easy. The Nation was ordered to He on the table ; and from ar: .
