RIDLEY. HART. Member of Parliament for the ancient Sra Port of Neve caalle-upon- Tyne, and one of the Committee on Foreign Trade. SlR—Your sitnation of representative of Newcastle, and one of the committee on foreign trade, must plead my excuse for selecting you as • proper person to ad dress, on the subject of the proposed relaxation of our navigation laws. This is no party question; the dis tinction of Whig or Tory is nothing in its discussion, and I am convinced that all it wants is to be under stood : for certain I am, that if the wealthy and un questionably well-intentioned representatives of the great maritime districts were aware of the magnitude of the interest, in the destruction of which they are about to engage, they would pause as they would on the brink of a precipice, before they gave is to such a 'mea sure. It certainly is not one of the least mortifying features of this case. that ,the ahi tiling interesj is gusidered ignoronflri inmalital of changes, whicE, it tiNssertea, Will ultimata be of no detriment to then), , and so strong iy nag this mistaken notion got possesugh of the minds of our representatives, that I Sits afraid nothing so feeble an advocate as myself can urge, will hare any effect. But whilst every theoretic knave or fool shall clamour for his abstract notions of what be considers right, the proprietors of the commercial marine of England may surely be allowed to expostulate upon measures which will practically effect their destruction. It is under these considerations that I am again in duced to address you. The result of the proposed change or abrogation of our maritime law, will be slowly, but certainly, to transfer the principal portion of the foreign carrying trade into the hands of foreign states, who arc anxiously grasping at what their sagacity has demonstrated to be the main cause of the power of this icingdotn. This must be obvious, when it is known that the al teration proposed will permit the Dutch or Americana, when they are investing a cargo in India for the Euro pean market, to consider the state. of the British de. mend for such commodities, as much as their own, as they can without even the farce of a re-shipment, pour their cargoes into the London or Liverpool markets, with nearly the same facility as the British merchant; and that tne soul of co:amerce, as Mr. Robinson calls it, will avail itself of such an opportunity to supply this great consuming . couniry, is as clear on the one band, as the destruction of our maritime power by such a concession is on the other. The above argument is equally applicable to invest ments, and returns, from every other port or place in the universe, and by every other nation. For instance, let the map of Europe demonstrate how admirably and in termediately Denmark, Sweden, Holland, and the !lapse Towns are situated for carrying on the trade of Russia with this country. Even in time of peace, it will be well worth their while, supposing they only obtain a rat: , of freight equal to British ships; the absence of taxation in a greater or less degree in their respective countries, will threefold more than repay them for the trilling de tentiOn occasioned by the farcical call at their respective ports to ;cite the goods a species of nationality. Dow admirably is Copenhagen adapted to the use of the subjects of his Danish Majesty for such a purpose !- They must brush the walls of that capital as thei sail from Petersburg to London. Bergen or Drontheiin is equally convenient to the enterprising subjects of the 18- dt-fatigable Charles John, for the Archangel trade. The retnetubranee of their former power and greatness will incite the tianseaties to embrace with aridity and de light the oppwtenity afforded them of participating in the supply (through the medium of their vessels) of the incident' consuming Carthare,—of a country, which, from a variety cf causes, co:lemurs as it lisAV be as- ' ted, of the bulky articles us transit,adj wood, cotton, beii.p, tallow, &c. as all the rest of the world put toge ther. That these articles, in point of intrinsic value, are not the must important, 1 admit; but, in a maritime point of siew, they are invaluable, front the quantity of tonnage they employ, and from the number of seamen they create. The calculating Dutchman knows well their value; be can expatiate upon the expedition of Isis ancestors up the Thames and Medway ; lie boasts of his De Ruyters and 'from!, and truly anticipates in these ahrouations, the harbingers of humiliation to his com mercial rival. Nor is America behind him in calculation:—an em pire created, perhaps by the folly of one ministry, is to be accelerated in its race of progression by the folly of another; and as there are no feuds so hostile or invete rate as national or family ones, so, probably, the united hostility of all Europe put together does not equal that of this rising country towards us.—a country whose capability of increase seems unlimited, and which, in little lucre than the period of half the or . . dinary life of man, has attained means of contending with us, on what has heretofore been considered our pe culiar element, hardly to be credited. • i alit adv boon 1 t unwilling to p alluded to was in 4ble i ls . s o e ß ne D e I l i lion, ut was I The Petitim Mr. COKE , one of the He subset of Agr , .

Now, in this return of our own country, an immense mass of river craft is included, which Anie- 1 rice coonot have. As this statement contains every re gistered vessel in the kingdom, an idea of the number of very small vessels included in this return may be conceived, when it is known that the average of oar tonnage is only 116 tons for 20,148 ships, the entire of the British commercial marine. Now, when these two statements are before the eyes"( the British legislator; when he reflects how short a pe r dad has created this alarming approximation to navel I quality; when he reflects on the amazing march in the mak of nations, which these people are making, he will sorely pause before he sanctions measures calculated to give increased acceleration to their rapid progression. The previous arguments have been founded on a state of Woe, when freights are extremely low; but what will be the effect when Britain shall be again involved In a war? The necessary rise in insurance, wages, aid equipments, will occasion such a rise in the rate of freights, that the forests of the continent will, by the magic of pecuniary inducement, be rapidly transformed into additional fleets of merchants ships, which will, from the security of their neutrality, engross the entire of the maritiose trade. This is no flight of fancy, it is the inevitable result. It was verified to a great degree by the license system, which called into existence in the ports of the North of Europe, numerous fleets of vessels, and created hosts of seamen, who would never have ex isted bad it not been for the operation of that baneful unitise. This contemplated change is making perpetual what. under the license system, was only temporary. An ex pedient, au experiment, which paid upwards of eighteen million pounds of foreign freight in the year 1811; which at the expense of the best interests of firitain, en- riched the sea ports of the North, in a manner that to he believed must have been seen ; but still the measure ' was but a temporary one. Hope still remained. Ito. peal the navigation laws, and that too is fled. The dia. tress of the present generation, and the execration of the future will be the result. I would now. Sir Matthew, ask yon for what are these, concessions made ; where is the equivalent ? What are I we to receive in return ; from what quarter is this " et dorado" to arise? 1 am aware the conclusion of the lords' report tells us it will arise from sources which the' human imagination cannot conceive; and that Mr. Ro binson tells us no calculation can be made of what the soul yeomnserce is capable of effecting. Now this may be very fine, and very conclusive, to men with that poe tical cast of imagination which he and his followers seem to possess; but to those nnendowed with this intuitive preconception, men who only know their fellow men And nations as they really are; to men of thisstamp, who can only argue of the future from their knowledge of the past, it is totally incomprehensible. Surely some tan gible benefit might be shewn us ; something worth risking the destruction of our maritime power for, ought to be demonstrated; but no, nothing of the kind is thought necessary, the assurances of these illuminati are sufficient; accordieg to them the lion and the lamb are to lie down together, the cupidity of nations is to cease, and a species of commercial millenium to take place. If this is not folly; if this is not fanaticism, 1 know not what is. I can forgive the religious dope of his disordered imagination ; but I know not how to de signate this spirit, or to express my detestation of it. Human patience becomes exhausted when the magni tude of the sacrifice vibrates on the brain; when we see the sagacity of our ancestors, (illustrated as it is by the unrivalled power and prosperity of this peculiar island) set at nought by men whose names, should they reach posterity, will only be known by the mighty ruin they have effected. This, Sir Matthew, is not a question as affecting a body of ship-owners alone ; their loss forms but a small part of the injury to be sustained by British, interests; they are only a prominent link in the general chain of destruction. Do thou, Wheat Dispenser of good and evil, grant me patience, when I reflect that it has become necessary in England to implore consideration for English in terests; necessary to implore the natural guardians of my country's rights, to stay the hand of ruin, uplifted over her best ascendancy. Shades of the wise and good who have gone before us untainted with this general ising spirit; and ye living luminaries, for such there are, whose eloquence has heretofore so ably advocated the interests of Britain, if ye have still the power, again assist to inspire the Legislators of England with a sense of what they owe their country—teach them to aypre elate justly the causes of the power and prosperity of that country—teach them them the way, the truth, and the light, not as derived from the sickening schools of a fanatical philanthropy, which directs its disciples to ad vocate whatever is not, and to despise whatever is, be cause it is; has merited the chastisements of jus tice, for his insults which produces friends for eve r y villa i n who to his God, or his disaffection to the law ; which would convert our gaols into palaces, and our ships into sepal , chres ; which would transfer to our enemies (for such they ire and will be in spite of all this stupid cant) the sceptre of the sea, by which eune we are what we are. 1 call upon you, Sir M. to endeavour to arrest the progress of this baneful spirit. I call upon you as the immediate representative of a great (of what ii ith but one exception is the greatest, sea port in the universe); I call upon you to exert some portion of that activity, which you have displayed so recently on a matter, I had almost said, of dubious import. I equally call upon the other representatives of the maritime counties to assist you. It is their and your interest much more than mine, inasmuch as the magnitude of your stake and mine will hear no comparison; you may not be 33 osten sibly nor so immediately liable to the operation of the change; but not the less certainly will you feel the ef recta. The labours of this committee is ill, in all proba bility, till one of the first dark pages in the future histo rian's Decline and Fall of Britain, for no measure by the united powerantlingentity of the concentrated world could possibly be devised to effect our destruction so rapidly and so certainly as these relaxations. Had the speculative notions 01 these men been confined to ab stract matters, agitation might have been effected and notoriety obtained, yet still the wheels of the great nil chine would have revolved in p-ace and prosperity.— Now that these political Plia.mas are to take the practical reins, the result is inecitaide destruction. 'file earliest pages of history, indeed all her pages, have told us, that power add pre-eminence were the na tural attendants upon the possessors of the carrying trade. It would be an insult to your knowledge and un derstanding to attempt to illustrate this, you know it well ; and, Sir Matthew, you must further know, that the man who devised the hum:Us:ion of the Dutch by what is erroneously called the 12th of Charles 11, &C. &c , I mean Crou . iwell, was one, (though his means were such as l will not attempt entirely to instifv) %host ends were—the security and prosperity of his 'country I can fancy to myself how his homely and orate spirit would expose and reject the ingenious nonsense which is now so greedily received where it ought to be rejected. as ruinous to the best interests of his country. He ivdulit have replied to the tariff of Russia, not by abject anti dangerous concessions, but by forty sail of the tine ; lit would hare considered that tariff tantamount to a de claration of war. Before I close this letter, I would, if I might Wi 11011 offence, name a race now so abject and despised, bit once the pride and boast of Britain, the theme of thi poet's praise, and the legislator's eulogy, the hardy, th. " brave, the generous, the thoughtless seanin.. lie t 0,.., T with all his attributes, is to be sacrificed, to be throt a A by as the worthless deteriorated tool, no longer necessary ,to your ambition oryour fears.

To aggravate le the distresses of these men, fee as undefined and incom b prehensible theory, is ingratitude of the worst sort ; b .t 1 these relaxations will do more—they will annrailat them. Few or no seamen are reared, sod the tutu:. Nelsons of the world must choose their followers ia n regions, where they are better appreciated than they a•.! i in Britain. The length of my letter admonishes me to conclude. ri Every sentence I have written might be enlareed upes e so as to swell the matter beyond all reasonable limits d for a publication of this nature. I have freely used the F. privilege of my birth in my address to you, as env err- Is Yes! representative. I trust withov.t offence.
