The 'Earl of LstioennaLe thought that the ~ Witte was shamefully thin for the iliscussiset of so ivoliortant • subject.

The commo dity did 'Pat give rise to the employment of the ships as in a free and natural trade, but the ships and stamen had given importance to the commo dity.

Mr. Ellis proved to the Committee that the wood-cutters were chiefly had and run-sway citizens from the United States, who were a great Inconvenience to the Colonies. As to she clenting of lands, it was evident thatelie best rising for the lands was the tiring of the woods and the manufacture of potash, which would enable them to manure the lands with wood-aahes. In short, there were only two interest* served by en coereging that expensive and inconvenieut commo dity, colonial timber—the proprietors of old ships, and ot150;0 1 061. - capital laid out in sawing-mills.

The Marquis of LansttoWst could not permit the question to pass without a d ding his 'egret to that expressed by his Noble Fiirrod (Lord Ltuder. dale), and the Inoue particularly after wind lied fallen from the Noble Earl (Liverpool), at the com plete faidure of the labours of the Committee. — After all the discussions which had taken place, and the tedious and noxious inquiries of both House. of Parliament, and after an union of opt pion had token place between all the great autlitni ties of both Houses, th-y were then called on by the Noble Earl at the head of is Nlsjetty's Go vernment, that they were to pass a Bill which he admitted wits founded upon erroneous principles, Inertly because it was a little better than the sys tem already in existence; and that this was to be the only perinanent system, the oily step towards that pennant ice so essential to the security of the colonist, the yeehrity of the merchant, and the se curity of the coosoiner. If lie looked fo- the only argument dial could he produced as a justification Fur not bringing forward a measure that should inert the wishes of every enlightened mind, he should find it in the document alluded to by his Noble Friend. If it wrrr on such consideration. as thew (list l'arliameitt were called on to legislate, and upon which a sound ronitnercial establishment, and the restoration of those principles which would lead to the revisit' of trade and pros perity must depend, it could only lead to this conclusion, that it is tint by, hut in spite of . , those enactments this country has flourished, and tnuat continue to flowith, multiplied by the events of time calculated to damp the energies of the nation. He was unwilling to detain the House loner.. lie felt guest despondelicy at the failure atilt labours of the Committee. lie should not, however, relax his humble .!lfibris, persuaded as he was, that nothing but a course contrary to that pursued by Ministers could produce any beneficial consegneocer to the country. Before he sat down lie wished to ask from the Nl..ble Lord oppose (in order to avert any future evils that might arise), whether there was any understanding with the Co lonies ilea this defective system should be per manent ? Eel BATHURST replied. that he had before stated, and lie now rept null, that nothing hail tic • , , oc curred wtaism could prevent Parliaillicist lons re diving the question at ally time it were necessary so to du.

The Second Revolt froin the Select Committee appointed by the House of Commons to consider of the means of improving the Foicigu Trade of the Country, will be found m another pint of this Riper. It is very brief in comparison with the more detailed views of our foreign commerce which have boned from the Committee of the (louse of Lind., hut it co: Burs its principle with their Lord. ships' loot Report. in recommending so extensi ►n to all British subjects of the privilege now enjoyed by foreigners, European and Antillean, of carrying on trade between the eiplrrel ports embraced within the charter of the Cast India Company (excepting the dua►inious of the Emperor of Cams), ■nd all . foicigis countries in amity with the Crown (A . Great Britoil). It certainly appears to be an extruorditiary incousisteney that Btiiish subjects should be ex- i eluded hy the power of their own Government Ilion a most profitable branch of trade...which iiist the I siiiie time open to the inhabitants of every other I. country. This trade is actually Ogle of the moos lucrative that engage the a.teuttion of the Alsip- Americans; it enables them to Custer the marloq, of Europe with singular trilvauttorgeo, and there to 7 414emoete socceerfoily with the Lords of the Great lassterit l'ettinsisla themselves, while it gives em ployment to nearly one half of the American with its due propornoti of seamen.

A Bill fur effecting Ode purpo.e will, we presiono, be iunned.ately introduced into the Douse of Corn 111011S, for the Report dassing t h is point among the facilitiei." which may be granted to the f ( "eilt" trade of the empire previous to ilie Hamilton of any general measure, remarks, that it "cannot th layrd to a future year without the ti,k of losing much of the beneficial results which at the plesesit time may be expected from it." The public are no doubt aware that such a mea- Imre lutes fetes ill Ha respect whatever with the char. tered tights and immunities of the Esst India Company. The proposed law will only put Eng lush subjects upon the some footing with respect to the hullo trade that foreiguers etiroy, or that Eligh*li subjects may now 'enjoy', if they wish to embank their capitol in foreign ships, and equip them io foreign 11110)4.1n s . But it does nut open British harbours or BriOali markets here or in the colonies to the new traders ; it only enables them to trade Ititectly in British *hips between the East Indies and foreign ports in any part of the world Ifrom which they are lint excluded by the munici pal laws of any particular country. The measure su t :gested by the Committee due. net extend to allow Briiish 'subjects, under the same limitations, to meddle with the Chine or tea •trade, although it may perhaps be difficult to tell why British sub ject, mad• not engage in a hale in which the A esglo.A inericans are now deeply embanked, and iii which they employ annually 12,000 Wns of ship ping. It assuredly would not entrench more deeply upon the advantages enjoyed by the Com pany that► the seine 'sower of trading in the hands of the Aineuicsns. We know it will be urged that the license or intemperance of free British !riders may injure the chancier of the East India Com pany's servant'', and be the cause possibly of ex cluding British ships altogether from the harbour of Canton ; but there i■ no greater danger that free Briti;h traders should conduct themselves im properly in the harbour of Canton than in soy. other port in the world, or that their general de meanour in their intercourse with the Chinese should hear a worn character than that of the free Americas' traders. The trade of the Americans continnea to prosper and to increase, and it is an an questionable truth that fewer quarrels, jealousies, or 'difficulties have arisen within the same space of time between the Chinese authorities and the American• than between them and the Select Committee of the Company's Factory. Should any of the British free traders, however, cotaltict themselves with such a wanton contempt of their own interests us to provoke the displeasure of the Chinese authorities, the experience of some peg events (triton, especially the rupture in 1810 upon our occupation of Macao) offers ■ sufficient assurance that the Chinese will be very well able and willing to distinguish between the actual offenders and those who have no community with them, rave the identity of language and country. We cannot indeed see that any possible injury could accrue to the East India Company from admitting British subjects to compete in the lea trade of China—not with them, but with foreigner., an d especially with the Americans. The question, in point of truth, does not lie between the Coin' patty and the free trade's of Great Britain, but he to.reei the free trader. and the North American.. The latter, at the present tuoment, enjoy almost a m ono p o ly in supplying the continent of Europe with tea, while the Compa'•y are scarcely able to supply Great Britain alone with this article of universal consumption. If the carrying trade be. *wren China and the continent of Europe were now opened to the merchants of England, a very large share of the supply of the continent would almost of necessity full into their hands, and would give employment to very little short of 8,000 tons annually of British chipping, without affecting, in the remotest degree, the interests of the East India Company.
