This subject, which is of great magnitude in its onsegnences b has been treated in a luminous. *peech by Mr. WESTERN, in the [louse of COilfr • mons, and that House has resolved itself into a Commitee, directing certain resolutions proposed' by that gentleman to be printed. I have perusetiAlr. IVEs - rEates speech with at , tention. - It contains a great deal of information and argument ; yet, I am hound to confess, there Appear to me considerable omissions, particularly. as to the causes of the Agricultural Distress, which he supposes to have arisen by e combina tion of the pressuie of the poor rates, of the tithes, the magnitude of the National Debt, the paper medium, and the surplus produce of the soil baying been thrown into the market, He adds, tlocs not believe the distress is brought about by the return of peace. • With Out attempting at present to examine the above stated causes, it is rather surprizing the im- inense increase of rents during the last 25 years is totally lost sight of, as adding to the tarmrr's . res'elit distretii, which ditrin,:l the war induced by-a great call . for landed produce, he was induced to engage to pay:. As to the fall of prices in 1813 being previous to the peace, the defeat of the French on the RUS• aiatt Expedition,' was 'considered such a forerun. ter of a imate, that. it- mowed speculation built on war prospects, and Government slackened its porebases fur the armies abroad. This, and the great Irish imports, damped' the markets surptiz•-• fnkly, The withdrawing, even in part, of such weighty customer ns Government from the Tar, kels, has been all efficient cause why grain, pro. 'visions, leather, and many other articles declined. 'the assumed certainty that those articles were of ricces .- sity itlotsed hy , Gmiirernmenf, inspi rited the holders,,and created speculation in them. Good harvests added to the diminution of time va., Le of the Produce. This diminution lessened the credit of the farmer with the country hanker, who, by loans in their petty notes, hi; used to. enable to uphold the price of produce, to the great hurt of the Consumer, whose feelings and smarts make no part•of Mr: WESTERN'S ora tion On this occasion: Yet this 'connection be tween the farmers and the country banker has been a great grievance to the at large. These bankers petty notes were the c i rcu lating paper MediUm on WhiCh the speculations rested, and the mutual convenience by lending and borrow ing, on the decline of produce being withdrawn, is the very cause of the failure of so many country banks, whose circulation was, thus impeded and stopped.' The examples to which WI% Wthnitt refers to prose that peace cannot be the cause of thiagreat elecline'of the value of produce ; viz. of the years 1763 and 1783, ought to be taken with caution, in regard to the peaee then concluded. Since that period, the free intercourse to the corn trade he. tween Ireland and Great litinihu has taken place, and Whatever maybe said as to the, general pat. cy of that measure, it does not admit of'a doubt, that a country which has neither land tax nor pro rei.ty tax, and where labour is much cheaper th l an •in Cam Britain, must be Capable to cultivate the produce of the land much cheaper than Eng land iff particular. On the part,ot the British Agriculturist, it was certainly a great oversight not to secure some !b l ock to meet this contingency till Ireland pays British taxes. The great faikires in Ireland in 18.13 and 1814, arose chiefly from corn specula 'dons to the 'western ports of England and Scot hilt% and materially contributed to the fall of vices in general, which.Mr.WarrEaN can thus ttilliaecount for, in connexion with my former Osereatinn.. jw1763 and 1783 Irish grain gas 0. 4 1 y, admitted as :foreign grant, subject to tly.: shinting and opening of the ports, besides the 1 . / Y sle ut nl admitting foreign corn upon. that plan, on !()W duties, according to the return of British corn pricef, only took place in 1773, cinder Ge nenaConwity's act.
