MERCHANTS' PETITION. Mr. IltlItlitt11:cd, he held in has hand a Petition which had been tutrueted to him to present to the House : it was a Petition from severs' most res. spectable Merchants of the City of London, pur porting. in substance. to be a reprereutation of the streets raw! difficulties under winch the cowmen. cid, trading, mud manufacturing interests of the country were at present labouring. He proceeded to say, that the Petitioners, feeling this state of things very strongly. respectlifsly begged leave ta call the attention of the Hopes thereto—preyed it would take into consideration, and institute an iliqgiry iuto, the causes of the existing general distress. and embarrassment, in order that,' by be big put is possession of the causes, it might be enabled to adopt such practicable remedies as might be calculated to afford permanent anal gene ral relief. Such, the Flom «ember proceeded, was the Petition. It was nut. he could lissom the House, sent there from any factious views tar party motives ; neither did the Petitioners wish to latter three with, oritilerrupt the course of measures pur sued by his Majesty's Ministers; but they un doubtedly had so.tie expectatioh that their Pallier' would not meet with either disrespect or Mateo tiou•--because, in the course of s discussion in the present Sersioit, loran inquiry into the state of the ma sinfocturing districts, more thou one Member of the Adininistratino hart said, that, ifs proposition were made fur a bona fide i t ivestigtvion of the state of our cuminerce unit trade, without the introduction of extraneous topic-, they would not be indisposed to listen to it. The tot.pititeB adopted by Parliament fur securing the grace of the country, had his COS*. dial approbation ; but he thought that, in com mon with the Petitioners, he hod a right to expect that Parliament and his Moje.ty's Ministers would : not be averse to niquirion , into throw rouses %illicit. as he conceived. had produced the existing distress. fie had received nn iiirtructions Or suggestions from the Petitioners, to point out any specific measure, as likely to !resell or Ir• move the evils they hail de scribed; but he iimuld beg leave to say for himself that it hail occurred to him, that in the cootie of such an Merlon:anon m was desired, it might be advisable for his Majest3's Ministers and Parhament to turn their eyes to that system of severe restrictiohe vet our commercial law, wuioh ntglit have been very well adapted for a time of cur, but certainly not for one of peace. An alteration in this syrti w•a one source from whence it struck him considerable relief 'Meta be derived. P:hltsps :don it might he ch.cover, - 41. gist some of the articles esaferrin; a monopoly on the East India Company might be telexed with giro( advantage to the alai eni, witti that the right of trade bet wren China anti Europe, sable:l ,the now exclusively enjoyed, arid from ohm!' they 1 , 90•4 0 4.,brfit.**.:. be10g...0104A, 09 outlet • Aniericau flag, might be very fitualciaillextein. to other traders. Ile was not than taismat to enter the large field of discussion which the question of our currency presented, neither was he desirous of retracing the steps which the Legislature hail taken. not of abrogttint laws which were nn opeiation ; but he certainly did conceive, that, without fringing on the principle of these laws, there might be modifications of them which would afford con siderable relief—ss to inquire whether there might not be some modification in the tfiliCifliellte resin ct ing payments in bullion, and whether the first pro vision on that head might not be expediently ex tended over the whole term of those payments. lie also thought that it would be a material improve• meat if, at the period of the hat payment laid down iu the law, the Bank should have the option of paying in silver or gold. Having ventured shortly to state what in his view might form some of the leading grounds of the proposed inquiry, he should now proceed to name some of those which he was decidedly of opinion ought not to occupy the at. tendon of the Houle. Ile alluded especially to many of the topics introduced iuto Ole speech of his lion. Poirot! the Member for Portarlitigton (Mr. Ricardo).
