Enriiott-1 conceive it to be an axiom in Britith politics (hi)wever mucii disregarded .at present,) that Naval superiority is essen tial to our existence as a free nation. On this ground, the shipping interest, during the Administrations if the-two greatest of modern statesmen, was peculiarly cherished and promoter! —whether with good or bad policy, let our Naval Annals declare. The formidable fleets of our foes have been utterly anuihilated ; but the suc cess of our Marine has been too preeminent, if the effect is . to tall us into a fatal neglect of so, vital a principle of our national power. That such kleglect s -however, does unhappily exist, appears too evident .by the measure about to be debated in the ?douse Of Commons respecting alterations i,. the present on foreign timber. The public being; in poseesslsm. of the Report -safailisiatttelet tla'j s gsife;s4 , fliltitksstt s . end being aware of the proposeaaatetattons•ifthesdutiesisi need not occupy the columns of your valuable paper in alluding to them. Few persons COll - 'versant with the daatter will, F aufA;te, ente'rtain, a doubt that the effect .of the proposetic,altera tions will be to cause the stipplY Of foreign tim ber to be broUghtprincipaiTy from the Baltic, and ,startip by foreign vessels, instead'of being brought, as atpresent,principally from our North American Colonies, and wholly by our own vessels. The effect of this is evident, for, as two voyages can ba made to the Bnitic, where One only .can be made to'America:, (and the proportiOnis frequent ly greater) every cargo brought from the Baltic •itistead of from America in a British vessel would throw. one vessel out of employment 'in the tim ber trade, and where brought in a foreign vessel, two British vessels would be thrown out of such employment, and to what other employment such vessels can tesort, the promoters of the pro posed alte•rations would do well to consider. A No ble Lord,. (Lord A LTHORPE,OII Thursday night's debate,) has said, the ships employed iu the American timber trade are rotten and fits for no other. Admitting that fact, for argument's sake, such unereployc4 vessels, by the promoters of the. measure, are 'pitilessly consigned (not to - rot, fop.they tsre accountedsalready rotten, but, to fall $.6 pieces by- the walls, and their crews (as hardy seamen as ever navigated the North Sea, and those are Well known to be accounted the hest in the world) to fall with them, or to seek a subsistence in foreign vesseli. It is not, hew ever, from the conditiOn Of the .shipS unfitting them for any other trade, that I call en the pro moterS of-the - .alterations to , consider to what other trade those vessels 'so thrown out of etnployntent can resort, because the: fart (as the Noble - Lord will find on investigation)' is the reverse, these being many as fine vessels in. this trade as in any other, and sortie having, from the time of their being launched, been engaged in no other, ex cept in the coal, trade, and then merely to fill up the intervals of time between the American voyages. Indeed, to persons . the least conver sant in Nautical affairs, the voyage to North America is known to he one snitch more beis terouS,aad ?'vying - to' a- vessel than most others on taus side the CaPes -and, because " the sand cart" Of " the high !nettled racer" is, as regards British shipping s the coal trade. But, Iso call on the promoters of the alterations, because, there is no other trade in which such vessels can find emPloyment ; therefore, whether 'they be rotten, or tirst_cht'ss vessels; the effect will be the same ; because, if the latter, though they should not lie by the walls themselves, they will cause inferior vessels -(by displacing them) to do so ; and whose crews must equally seek refuge in foreign ,vessels. But, shall we reap an adequate advantage for suffering this decrease in.our ship ping and seamen I venture to say, assuredly not. Look at the amount of the invoice price of Baltic timber—a mere trifle, -but that is thent most that we can expect be taken from us in exchange, sod presuming that this amount in British reanufactnres would be conveyed •in our own ships (which, however, cannot be the fact), what tonnage of shipping would be required for that purvose ? 1 ask the promoters of the altera tiOns, wheeler two dozen of ships of . 200 tons each would not be more than sufficient ? If our thanufact Tres - find their way. at- all to the Con tinent, it must . be on account of their superiority and cheapness - alone, and they will find their way there, on those grounds, though we should take nothing in • return. iint„let the Northern nations be content—do we not take thcir .hemp and iron, and tallow, and other articles, some of which we' could, no- doubt, produce in our own Colonies ;—then why should we be required. to supply 'ourselves with timber from them', when we have-such an iaenhaustible .timber yard of our own ?—Should we do so, they- may smile at our folly, but we may, ere long, have great cause to bewail it. I - shall only allude to the policy of populating Canada (which-can only be done by fucouraging its timber trade) • by. asking, whether politi,- . rians d not'consider that the probabilities are, that at some future period the Northern part of the United States (which is the most favourable to us) will secede, froin the Southern part—and v hether such secession would not be likely to be accelerated, 'were Canada .suaciently populous to enable them (when united - tOgether • as one nation) cffectrta::y To resit,: aggression from the Southern States.—Few species-of property be'- licve it will be universally-admitted) have suf fered more depreciation since the peace than the :hipping,—and the supply (from the want of employment) is far from being kept up ; con sequently, the supply of seamen, too ; is (EMIL isiting,--this; to the nation, ought to be a seriot i. censideration, and s .there have lkoen Statesmmt who would have considered tho loss of even 05t , ,4, seaman, from this cause, as a tattional The lumber trade (both American and-Baltic) there,: fore, under present circumstances, is-the trade, of all others, that should he. kopt.exclusivety far British Shipping,: because it ailbrds employment - for an immense number of: more silips•than other, requiring the same .capital:. carp., too, is one which it is of infinite importat:ce. try our manufactures to have impo:ted at a cheap rate.
