dead letter up to the present period. cod which. if they bear unfairly upon either party in this matter, may be expunged from the Statute Book ; the state of things to which they were intended to apply having lung since whnlly ceased to exist. If then it should appear that past experience has proved that the laws are not deficient in maintain ing relations of peace and amity between England sad other States (and surely, if defect there were, it must have become conspicuous in the lapse of so many centurie.).. the further inquiry may he put as to what peculiar claims tl►e Crown of Spain has upon this country, to demand. for her particular advantage, the enact►ne►►t of new measures, which mope of our ancient Allies have ever ventured to acquire. It is, indeed, difficult to understand on what grounds, either of obligation, policy, or interest, such a requisition can be maiutained. It cannot be in return for previous obligations conferred ; for /Spain is still the debtor to Great Britain for the =oat liberal expenditure of her resources in rescu ing that kingdom from •all the horrors of French oppression. It cannot he in return for great com mercial advantages ; for no coinstry maintains a more rigid monopoly ; in no European nation is the commerce of Great Minnie less favoint.d—nor indeed has that Power shewn more regard io the other mu<t important interests of Great Britain ; for scarcely is the sigtiature yet dry to that Tres. ty, which h a s ceded to nor great commercial raval the inestimable Provinces of the Floridas. The riKla of Spain so to deal with her tereriorie-, it is not pre.- sowed to dispute; but surely at the moment when in the disposal of her poisessions she has strewn her self so reckless of British piustresity, new armour'r on her part come with a very ill glace. Nor is this all ; the deinolid has nut been made stroll Spain has liberally armled herself of those very resources of *lnch she seeks entirely to de prise the South Americo,' Colocier. dt this err!, hour she fits is her purls nut less that 36 sail of Briiirh rersels, lithen up fur the es pees purpose of transporting her troops to South America.

The commercial world home long cherished the liar, that the toeirty-four millions of people stlilch inhabit those extties've :old fertile regions, will, as they become f‘ Leveel from the oppressive dominion of Spain, expeuil a large part of their inexhaustible re sows,* its procuring from Great Britain those very arterl-s of maclostadist which have long formed the .taple manufacture of this country, and ..tford in return a most ample supply of the pretious tue 'ls, and other productions the most valuables It is to bt h^pod that the British I...gislature will not be easily induced to check a traffic so desirable, our to extinguish holies which offer a fair prospect of alfaelin4 the best and suiest relief to the com mercial thstrees of the country. I low urgent that shstress is, it is tartness here to point out ; it is uu fmtinsittly too app irent both at home awl abroad; nor less ru is the fact (swell known to the metcantele world) that the British nie'cleant scarcely knows at this 'eminent to what quarter of the world to direct Isienstif, ill seeking profitable employment for .his capital. Is this then the time, it may be confidently and solemnly asked, when the commercial, manufactur ing, and shipping interests are contending with aug menting difficulties, and when the complaints of the agricultural classes are beard on every side, to excite the enmity of a great and enterprising peo ple, to hares and impede a profitable and increas ing branch of trade, arid destroy all expectation of ultimately finding the most permanent and exteios sive mart for British commodities, and employment , for British shipping ? is this the time too, when every vest. seems to increase the powerful means of Great Britain's most formidable viral, to incur the tisk of adding to her influence the alliance of a peo ple who may have reason to conclude, if the pro. posed measure should be carried, that it is in Ame rica alone they can expect to find a just recognition of their rights t The Committee have thus endeavoured to set forth the extreme impolicy of risking the good uu dtrstuudiug at present 'ululating with South Ante- Ilea, and the injuries which consequently threaten the meictittile and shipping interests. • But it is nut on this ground alone that the sub ject claims the attention of all classes. It is a new sight to behold in a coute.t between the oppriAisor and the oppressed, Great Blown Like the lead of the nations of Europe, in rangi.ig herself on the side of despotism. For centuries has the Colonial Government of Spain been a &lauding libel on civilised Europe and every Englishman remembers with pride the conduct his ancestor. pursued in aiding the United Provinces to throw Of her insupportable yoke. Can any reason he found why the councils of Great Britain should now be guided by other poinciples„ or why the cause of Spain should now lie espoused the feelings, itichuatious, and interests of the %hole empire ? If in the time of James the First, and under circurnstatices exactly similar, the application of the Couit of. Spain for an thactment against the Untied Provinces, similar to the one uow proposed, was rejected by that arbitrary monarch, can any cause be .tasigurd for the British Government now pelshrig to such a regnisition ? For the result of the coolest, there is room in deed to feel but little anxiety; the spirit of ra tional freedom will ultimately triumph timer all its enemies; but who can witness without horror the prolongation of a warfare sanguinary beyond de acriptsou, producing only an ostlers effusion of blood, slid wasting the resources which Eight other. wise be applied in cultivating the arts of peace. and promoting • widely extended commerce to the boundless improvement of the most fertile costa tries in the universe, and the greet and permanent advantage of-all the civilised nations of the world ? Groot Britain now stands .first in the affections of South America. To her, from inclination and from her capabilities, would fall the largest share of bene fit. By obeying she dictates of Ipain she may be deprived of the good-will of South America, and all these fair prospects of advantage be lost ; but Spain will never more re-establish her sway over her .oppressed and long-injured Colonists. The chain which bound South America, stretched too forcibly by the hand of tyranny , h as given way, sad no earthly power can again unite the links. These several considerations, which are not in deed the whole that might be urged on this interest ing question, the Committee present to their com mercial brethren throughout the kingdom. as the grounds of their opposition to the proposed law. If they shall seem to you deserving of your sup port, they request the favour of your co-operation in this opposition, by•your signing the Petition now preparing to the House of Commons, against the measure ; and by your employing your influence with the Members of that lion. House, in support of the prayer of it. I have only to add, that the second reading of the Bill is fixed for the 3d of June ; and that the Coin mitre will be happy to afford any information in their power on this subject.
