'Chat your petitioners mast most seriously conjure your Honourable House calmly and deliberately to re flect on the consequences of the measures you have pursued and are pursuing. For twenty-four years, ending the beginning of the year 1819, your Honourable House was pleased, on an average, to raise by loan or otherwise, twenty-eight millions of the capital of the country, and to sanction the expenditure thereof to meet time demands of the war, in which we were so long engaged. You hare seen that this extra expenditure beyond what the revenue naturally afforded, created a for midable increase in the demand for labour;—that a rise in the value of labour ensued,—and that this ex tended demand, continued for twenty-four years, created, as must have been expected, an increase of population, such as to adjust the supply of labour to the demand for it. .t be line of conduct which the Legislature of this min ' , bound to protect the public by the name tisk that a rather is bound to protect his family, is at tail me anent pursuing.

To your Honourable House, therefore, the conse inences of a line of conduct directly the reverse, must I be apparent ; fur twenty-four years you persisted in annually expending a large portion of the capital of the country as revenue; you are now by law forcing a large portion of the revenue to be laid out as capital. By the former line of conduct, )on inevitably in creased the demand fur labour, n hich, augmenting the wages of labour, encouraged the increase of po pulation : by adopting the latter system, you must as Inevitalsly diminish the demand for labour, which, by Lord C•tanoare presented a petition from 'be traders and inanafaeturers of Birmingham, prao/.g for legislative protection.—Laid on the table.

It is on these grounds yonr petitioners humbly think it cannot be disputed by any one, who gives a mo ment's consideration on the subject, that if many of the most oppressive taxes, the produce of which is now applied to this forced accumulation, were repealed; it would contribute to the immediate relief of those whe pay them ; whilst the expenditure of the lime's, they are now obliged to deliver over to the Comniissiouers, to he employed as capital, would create such an imme diate increase of demand for our commodities in the home market, as, by restoring the due proportion be tween demand and supply, would greatly contribute towards re-establishing a remunerating price for the labourers of every class of the industrious throughout the community. That your petitioners humbly beg leave to state to your lion. House, that this great anal benefical re sult may be obtained without doing injustice to any class of the community ; for your Honourable Muse will final, on examination, that the institu•ion of the Sinking Fund was a measure adopted by the Legisia tnre on a belief, which many now think erroneous, that it would he generally advantageous for the public in terest, and not with a view to h^nefit any one parti cular class of the community. And your Honourable House must be convinced that the stockholders can have no right to claim the continued existence of a benefit exclusively advantageous to them, at the ex pense of the rest of the country ; when yon reflect that great part of the existing debt was contracted by pay ments made to the public in currency depreciated from 15 to 2ti per cent.; whilst by legislative enactment you are now about to pay the interest upon the capital so adyaaced, in the standard coin of these realms. That your petitioners must humbly repeat to your liononrable House that this is a moment of unprece dented distress, from want of demand for those com modities, on the formation of which Ile existence of a considerable part of the population of this country de pen.ls :—they indeed, in conjunction with many others, are sanguine that great benefit will be derived from the operation of time, when property becomes perma nently fixed in the hands in which it is places' by the new distribation, to which the enormous expenditure of our war has given rise. Nevertheless it appears to your petitioners, and they trust it will appear to your Hoomirable His e and so the community at large, highly i me:lordliest, to ahittaet,' at thid moment, so important a share of the wren le from expenditure, with a view to accumulate It into capital, for the benefit of posterity ; who, it is cco* dently believed, will exist in times when an emceeing demand may have relieved the community from that state of distress in which it is now involved ;—for your petitioners - interests so high, and considerations so important, that it would be desirable if the nation was not dri:, is to the distress of pursuing it to an extremity. I t.e Homy had, no doubt, concurred in the measure 14,.. patrol last night, but it was still open to their ships to prevent that atereatime being eettetwpon to the full extent. It was his own opinion. that upon *Lis • subject itieeMajdety had bees fitly advised. The wee save was the only one that could with propriety have been adopted; it was the only one consistent with jus tice and delicacy to the parties ; the only wise and correct course; yet, as it was entertained only upon the dire necessity of the case, be had a hope, he could not say whether it was a well founded one or that all calamitous consequences might be averted. He would therefore suggest, that the detarminatian which the:r Lordships had come to yesterdapa should be suspended until a future day. It would be of essential import ance, indeed, if the information which en thii subject had come ender the Royal eyes, could be prevented from obtaining any further notoriety, and if thetnow ledge of facts which were to go before the Committee, could be kept from a wider sphere of communication. He hoped there was still room for conciliatory sures, and he wasted that their Lordships would not less indulge in that hope than the other House 1.,,t dome. If the Committee was appointed by ballot,..the House would still have to determine t•hether it oat , i.t to proceed any farther in the present instruct. He was sure that, as far as a spirit of conciliation u-L. consistent with public duty, that it would be .actt upon, and in consequence, no immediate inquiry would take place; but a little time must be allowed, He could not see the necessity, under the circumstance., of appointing the Committee until an opportunity had been given to try the efficacy of conciliatory measnre...: if they failed, then the House must pursue the tour., to which ateemity compelled it. He concluded. by moving, that the ballot for the Secret Committee be .postponed to Monday. The Earl of Larxxeoot, said, he was not ;ware of any eir:tonstaetce, nrir had any hat come to his know ledge, which ought to have the @het of persisting the ballot from proceeding. When the Moose shoal have formed Om Committee, it would be theu einnpe tent for it to decide on *hat day it ought to meet. He had no objection to deferring the meeting till Toe'. day next, if any thing further happened which might make another postponement necessary, which, he ob served, was not very likely ; then it was in theyower of the House to act accordingly. He mould thopefors propose that the House should proceed with the hallo, and after the formation of the Committee, should tic its tir.t day of meeting on Tuesday melt. The Marquis of Latesoown oboseved,that whet had fallen from both' the Noble Lords, who -had priceded Ma, showed that they were no linger convinced Of the • of what they had advised imei wood hr yes- It done adequate justice at bat by an immodiase *airy ; hat now they were for an adjourned bullet, •ore de layed Committee. He did not riot to oppose either, but of - the two be would prefer that proposed-1y the Noble Baron (Keeler), as most consistent, or rather . least inconsistent with the character and dignity o f the House; but then be would offer no oppeeitlon to the tnotien of the Noble Earl (Literpoel),.parodrisg , as he did, of the anxiety entertained by several Mem ber' of that Hoiee, and of a plat aamber of the other, as the preeteffibis of the other House showitil.

SKETCH of a PETITION to PARLIAMENT. FIVIAMI/TeD TO Tilt COMPIDIRATION Or ALL WOO SWIM FOR Tilt WELFARE OP Tilt COUNTIT, OR vas Tilt DlSTlitliStil Of Tint I,OU kit onotits or Tilt PROPLIt. BY THE EARL OF LAUDERDALE. The humble Petition of • to ' . • • • . • ii • • • SHEIVE re!, • That, whilst your petitioners deeply lanSelbt theAILL r=state of the agrieultvre, commerce, and mann si of these kingdoms, and the consequent distress In which the labourers in these several branches are involved ; they feel convinced that nu relief can be given to any one branch of industry at the esOense of another, without increasing the sufferings even Of those whose interest it is intended to promote: and that every arrangement which directly benefits any one class of the community, without injury to.any other, must indirectly prove advantageous to all. That your petitioners, therefore, cannot join in the prayer of any petition, which, imploring freedom of trade in all articles not connected with the public revenue, may be construed into a prayer for keeping up the duties by which manufactures are protected— and repealing the protection afforded by the Legisla ture to agriculture, as corn is the only article which is protected by regulation. That, on the same principle, your petitioners are precluded from co-operating with those who, in this moment of distress, have very injudiciously petitioned your Honourable House to adopt measures, which they are wrong in thinking would, under all their bearings, relieve the agricultural interest, even if they were right in supposing that they would add to the prices of the necessaries of life. That your petitioners, convinced that perfect free dom from restraint is the means best caculated to give the most advantageous direction to the capital and in dustry of every country, and to Iti•ctire 1.• it the good est possible state of prosperity.— !reply lament toe long continued existence of that restrictive, protect and prohibitory system, which has been for ages ss tioned by the Legislature of this country. That, nevertheless, your petioners feel that it is under this system, these kingdoms attained au us paralleled state of prosperity ;—and as there are many regimens under which the human [ramie isisjevs perfect" health. w your petitioners are convinced that these are many pelitirai and rounnerelal arrangements under which a community may enjoy very great prosperity. That, n-hen they, therefor, reflect how much the restrictive and prohibitory system is connected and' interwoven by long habit with every branch of unr industry, they mast deprecate any hasty and incon siderate derelictiou of these our ancient habits, by hastily adopting a new system of commercial regula tions, however much it may be more consonant to the sound principles by which the economical policy of a country ought to be regulated. For your petitioners feel it their duty humbly to state to your Honourable House, that this, a time of deep distress, does not appear to then' to be the mo ment for indulging in experiments, and must therefore implore your Honourable House to make no alteration in any part of our legislative code, which affects the agriculture, manufactures, or 'commerce of the coun try, without a full investigati of the particular case, and au ample consideration of the remote consequences in relation to other branches of industry, which can not fail to ensue under our artificial and complicated system. That, convinced as your petitioners are of the ne cessity of extreme caution in the alteration of the laws relative to any particular branch of industry. — they nevertheless feel it their duty to implore the at tention of your Honourable House to one artificial, legislative restraint, on the natural destination of the property of the country, which they sincerely believe is at this moment equally injurious to every class of the community. That the general distress now existing, appears to your petitioners to arise from the low price of cumumo dities, which does not afford snlficient reumneraties for the labour of those who are employed in producing them ; and, as price depends on the proportion between supply and demand, they are convinced your Hotour able House must perceive that this evil can only be re medied by an increase of demand for the commodities produced. For your petitioners humbly conceive, that the feelings of humanity, which in this country al ways predominate, must shrink back from the idea of restoring the nee y remunerating value to our commodities by a diminution of supply; an operation that would Inevitably occasion the destruction of all that portion of our population employed in the forma tion of what constitutes the existing extra supply. That, as the most immediate and effectual means of very greatly increasing the demand for commodities, snd consequently the price thereof, your petitioners humbly request to call the attention of your Honour able House to the salutary effects that would ensue from a snspPnsion of that forced accumulation of ca pital, which the Legislature enacts by persevering, at this moment, in the appropriation of a large portion of our revenue towards a Sinking Fund. For your Honourable House must be fully aware that there is uo portion of the funds so appropriated, which Is not an nually raised by taxation, on a people who have been subjected to an increase of taxes unparalleled in rapi dity : and that, by persevering in this system of accu mulation, you are transferring from the -hands of the consumers a For ion of their revenues to commissioners, '1 t ~► ..
