TUESDAY, APRIL 27, 1824. PRICE SEVtNPENCE. 44'a GENERAL MEETING - of SCOTTISH, DISTIL- LZRS Working for HOME CONSUMPTION, held at ltdinburgh, 13th April, 1824 : /THE following Resolutions were submitted to, the Meeting, and unanimously approved of. First, That under the present Distillery Law of Scotland Ireland, 4th Geo. IV. cap. 94. it is the opinion of this M eeting that the Duty-is fairly paid, and illicit distillation in 11.0 10ess of being put down. Second, That although Spirits are made under the same law 111 Scotland and Ireland; under the same Rules and Regula -14048 in every respect, and are allpwed to be put into Bond in 13 etil countries, free of duty, yet Spirits so made in Ireland are permitted to be sent from the Ifondea Warehouse into con 14111i/don in England on payment of the same rate of duty is paid on Spirits made in England, while the Spirits so trade 48cotiand are entirely prohibi t e d f r om bein g sept into 411 gland. - T hird, That the intercourse in SVhislty betwixt Ireland and England is thus open ; and whilst Brandy and Gin, the pro llsce of France and Holland ; Riim, the produce - of our Colo a;. and Whisky, the produce of Canada ; are allowed freely I!'e imported into Great Bvitain and Ireland, and put into Bond, and on payment of the duties to be taken out of Bond, and sent into consumption in the United Kingdom without any limitation as to strength, this Meeting is at a loss to under. stand, why Whisky made in Scotland from Barley, the pro. duce of our own soil, should be alone denied this privilege notwithstanding the constant application anil great demand fromi England. Fourth, That owing to the superior quality of home made spirits, the smuggling of Foreign' Spirits, which was formerly Partied on to a great extent in Scotland, is now nearly un t/u}wn's and were Spirits of a similar good quality allowed to e used, in England; the great extent of foreign Smuggling Ili lrtied on would be materially lessened, and a most ex -4'll4lre Market opened up for many thousand quarters of Barley. „, Fi ftb: that it appears from the Parlimentary Pap ers, No. *), and No. 185 of this Session, that there was shipped of Barley and Malt from England to Scotland, from the 10th October, 1820, to 15th February, 1821, 44,428 6.Bth quarters. 10 th October, 1821, to 15th February, 1822, 59,808 3-Bth quarters. 10th October, 1822, to 15th February, 1823, 28,646 quarters. 10 th Octobu, 1823, to 15th February, 1824, 182,797 1-Bth quarters. • Thus showing, .that the improvement of the Distillery-law of last Session has - been most beneficial to Agriculture,' by afford ing a great additional consumption, of Barley. Sixth, That the price paid ,to the Distillers in England at the present time for raw Spirits, exclusive of Duty, exceeds by 2s. fai. per gallon the price paid to Distillers in Scotland, thus affording to the Proprietors of Fifteen Distilleries, who supply the English market with Five Millions of Gallons; upwards of 400,0001. annually, more than is paid for the same quantity of §piriti in Scotl an d, an d t hi s sum beyond the amount o f d uty n ~both countries. 7 ,Penuth, That tw o ye a r s ex p er ie nce o f t h e p resen t E ng li s h fatillery law,. under which the Distillers in Scotland worked n'Oni October, 1316, enable this Meeting to state, that the Re venue was not so well secured by it, as it is now by the Dis tillery of Scotland and Ireland. Eighth, That a free trade in Spirits over the United King dOta, is only in unison with the sound and enlightened princi 'Pies expressed and acted upon in .other branches of -rnanufac. -tare by his Majesty's Government—is in . accordance with the report of the Commissioners of Revenue Inquiry—agreeable to eapirit.and. principle of the union betwixt. England and Scot land, and pledged to the Scottish Distillers and the public by t heßight Honourable the Chancellor of the Exchequer in Par .."41nen,,,,_.4 at the end of last Session. Ninth, That the Meeting will use every exertion to obtain . ect so equitable to Scotland, and so desirable for the anecdttire of the United Kingdom ; and they - resolve - to peti _ Pa rliament to grant that Scotland may enjoy a fair and Par empire. 6 -cipation in the trade of distillation throughout the Tenth, That a copy of these Resolutions be sent to the Con veners-of the Counties of Scotland, with a request, that the at tention of the County meetings, to be held-on the 30th April, I tlay be called to this subject and, also, that copies be sent to all Members of Parliament, that they be published in the different Newspapers.

This Society, novel in its nature, but of many years' standing as the Lying-in-Charity . - for 'deliVering Poor Married Women at their own•habitationa, held its Anniversary Meeting, at the London Tavern, 'l3ixhopsgate-street yesterday. 'The chair was taken by Wzi. AsiKELL, Esq. M.P. After a verrsumptuouadinner, and the cloth being removed, Non Nobis Domine was sung. The CHAIRMAN then rose, suld in proposing the health of the king observed, that it was u. - .;tifying circumstance on the present occasion not merely to have . 0 iiropoge the health of his Majesty, in conformity to the custom observed at such kind of meetings, but as a return for the peculiar countenance shewn by him to that particular Society, which was honoured by the patronage of his name. " The King, the Patron of this Society,". was then drank with three times three. .. Song—" God save the Kink,"' " The Duke of York and the Army:" Glee—" Hoiv merrily. we live that'soldiers bs." " The Duke of. Clarence and the Navy." Song—" Rule Britannia." The CITAINTIA'N then rose, and Said, that it was with parti-• Max, satisfaction he proposed the healths of the Vice-Patrons, " The Duke of Sussex and Prince Leopold." ;The former honoured Many Meetings with his presence ; and' although .the latter was, by circumstances still lodging on the reeollection of the country, hitherto prevented from mingling so generally with us as his heart might prompthim to do, still there was never any occasion afforded him for evincing his disposition to wards the support of the charitable institutions ofthis country, but what his Serene Highness embraced. In allusion to the healths of the Dukes of York and Clarence, the Chairman said it must be felt that such countenance shewn towards an InSti tution by Royalty, carried with it the conviction that the ob ject of that Institution recommended itself by its own intrinsic. importance ; and the Duke of York, as Commander-in• Chief,: and the Duke of Clarence, as Lord High 'Admiral of England, must be aware that but for such .Societies as that of the Royal Maternity Society, they would have neither soldiers nor sailors to command ; and that their preSent honourable and laborious offices would confer mere titulary honour. " The Vice-Patrons" was then drank. Glee—" Come o'er the brook." The Cita' !MAN, in proposing the health of the Duke of Wel lington, stated, that his Grace was unhappily prevented-frompre siding at that Meeting by indisposition, which the Chairman had authority to say he would certainly otherwise have. The Duke's health was then drank. • Song—" Hark, hark, the distant din of war !" The Cr . :AIRMAN next rose to propose "Success to the Royal Maternity Charity Institution." lle said, that in naming the Royal Maternity Charity, it would naturally he asked, why the name was changed from that of the Lying-In-Charity ?. He was not himself fond of change, but whenever such an event promoted good, bis 'opinions were not so obstinate as to persist in any established custom or form as fo be insensible to Its defects, and therefore he had approved of the alteration in the name of the institution. The reason for it was found in the many similarsocieties that had, Since the esiablisimient of that which they were now celebrating, been instituted. It assumed the name of Royal, because* was : patronized by his Majesty, and it was called the Maternity charity,. because its object was exclusiVely directed to thelysinging children into the world, under the sanction of matrimony, in distinction from other societies, which were not confined to such cases. The importance of, the society, in a national:point of view,. would be readily perceived, when he stated that it had, from its ' mencement, brought into life no lima than 261,000• souls, 5,602 of whom were born between Jan. I, 1823, and Jan. 1 10 9 4 • "Prosperity to the Society" was then drank. Song—" The Married Man's Fare"---L.by Mr. Fitzwilliam. Mr. JOuar BLADEs then proposed the health of .the Chair man, who returned thanks. " The health of the Treasurer; Mr. Greenaway," was then drank. Mr. GREENAWAY, in rising to return .thanks, stated .that his Majesty had that day paid his ,annual subscription of;v. ; and that he had received, among other deflations, the following sums :-- Legacy of Thomas Mann, 45/. ; Themes Lane, E sq ., 10/. 10s. ; Mr. Alsager, 10/. 10s. ; Legacy of .Mrs. Garrick, 601. ; Mr. H.

VIE COLONIES. LOWER CANADA. THE PROVINCIAL PARLIAMENT OF LOWER • • CANADA. - (LEO►ISLATIVE COUNCIL.) • THURSDAY, FEB. L—The House went into a Committee of the whole to take into consideration the consequences to this Province of the Vree Navigation of the River St. Lawrence to the sea by the citizens of the United States bordering on that : River, as also the consequences thereto if the water connupi cation with Upper Canada should be interrupted by reason of the award under the Treaty of Ghent. The House being resumed, the Hon. lir. Bell reported that the Committee had come to an opinion on the subject, and had resolved to address his Excellency the Governor-in-Chief, re presenting the extreme anxiety of the people of this Province, and entreating his Majesty's Ministers not to grant or con cede the free navigation of the St. Lawrence to the United States, &c. SATURDAY, Fr..g. 7.—The Hon. Mr. Richardson, from the Committee appointed to prepare an Address to his Excellency the Governor-in-Chief, relating to the free Navigation by. the River St. Lawrence Sea from the territory of the United States bordering on that River, as also the consequences thereto, if the water communication with Upper Canada should be inter rupted by reason of the award under the Treaty of Ghent—re-. ported the following address, which was agreed to : To his Excellency George, Earl of Dalhousie, &c. &c. k.c. May it please your Excellency, We, his Majesty's dutiful and loyal suhjects, the. Legisla.- tive.Council of Lower Canada, in Provincial Parliament as sembled, beg leave to represent to your Excellency the extreme anxiety and alarm of his Majesty's faithful subjects in this Province, since the publication of the Message of the Presi dent of the United States of America to Congress, at the open ing oe,their. present .Session, wherein a claim is laid to the free navigation of the River St. Lawrence to Sea, from the territory of those States bordering on that River, and inti mating 'that a negociation is now pending thereon, with a hope of success. 'We conceive that such a claim is contrary to the established and recognized laWfrof Nations in siinilar cases, and humbly hope, that innovations upon those laws, by so ambitious a neighbour to the -Provinces of Canada, canndt be allowed. We are of opinion, that if permitted upon any conditions, it would have the. effect of weakening'that intimate connexion and dependence upon the Parent State, and attachment there to, which so happily subsists in both Provinces ; and which at tachment was so powerfully exemplified during the late war with thOse States. That it would tend to systcnaatize contraband trade and the evasion of the laws, and destroy all hoPeS of deriving effectual revenue from import duties. That it would be pernicious to British interests in various other respects, and beneficial in none to these 'Provinces, as parts of the British Empire. . . We further heg leave to represent to your Excellency, that it is with great concern we observe the internal communication by the Saint Lawrence, from Upper to Lower Canada. is threaten ed with interruption, by reason of the Commissioners under the Treaty of Ghent having awarded to the said United States Barnhart's Island, above Cornwall, in the Upper Province ; whereby no practicable channel o f descent for boats, rafts, or other conveyances by Water; is left on the Britith side of that Ri ver ; and consequently, that communication seems to be placed at the mercy of the said States. We therefore humbly entr eat your Excellency to submit these important points to the, consideration of His 'Majesty's Ministers - ; - to state the serious anxiety and alarm prevalent in Lower Canada thereon ; and earnestly to recommend that His Majesty may be advised not to concede to the said United States, upon any terns or conditions, the NaVigation through the River St. Lawrence to the Sea; and at the same time to express our hope, that Means may be 'taken to procure, by ne gociation, the reciprocal right or exercise of Navigation, during peace, of the several internal channels of the Saint Lawrence, southward Of the 45th degree of north latitude, in whicluioever territory the said internal channels may be situate, in order to prevent those collisions which must otherwise take - place, to the injury of both nations. Ordered, That one of the Masters in. Chancery do carry down the Said Address to the Assembly, and desire their concurrence thereto. THE HOUSE or ASSEMBLY.
