The . prllXiMitY of Northern Nations wtnild • in itself deprive a great anaoy Ships ur emplot meta, even if the vv•hole Foreign . ex' ra Trade in Timber to be creased by t fie tObteirplated alteraticus was ; court yed in British Shipping; That the Nations to whom such sacrifices are to be made are those afro by their hostility to the United Kingdom in 'the day of her peril, and with a view of sapping her - Naval ' streng•li. unintentionally revealed the secret of the capacity 'of the North American Colonies, to furnish Supplies of Tint bet and I,llll3beg, independent of the enmity or caprice of Fo. • reigners who are Low startling by the reaction of their own ' measufes. • 'That the Colonies are by lawns welt as be habit restric'ed •'•fo • tbe use of British Manufactures and Foreign Productions, through British Medium ; whereas Foreign Nations are by law and by habit, prohibited the use of many kinds of Bri • fish goods • to sacrifice, therefore, what under our own con 'trol, Afford% a certainty in the one case, for not merely a - - doesb; fill lienefit, but an almost certain injury by the opera tion of Foreign control in the other case, is respectfully con tended to be neither expedient nor wise. In proof of the hazard to be run by the adoption of .the 'measure, it is linty necessary to cite the returns laid before Parliament, whereby it will be found, that the exports of Bri tish and Irish Produce.and Manufactures to the l3ritish North American Cohorks for the last six years. bare been more than •flauhle•the lihe Exports to Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Russia. • In point of citiployment of British Shipping, the difference is it ili'more in favour of the Colonial Trade, as in the nuniber of Ships•and quantity of tonnage employed in the Trade between Great Britain and those Nations,- those of Foreigners have been double that of British, whilst last year above 1.600 Ships, measuring 340,337 tons, entirely fliitish, navigated by 17,634 Seamen, were cleared out to the North American Cilonies, composinr, one-seventh of the whole car s•ing Trade of the •Conntry, and neatly one-fourth of the 'whole Export Trade from the British Isles, and the employ- Theta of which TOnnage and Seamen would, by an alteration is the Duties, be reduced to one-third its present amount; imieed it is •undeniable, that no increase in the Foreign Tim ber Trade can possibly take place, but at the expellee of a decrease in the Colonial, greatly disproportionate, and of conseirtenees alarming in their nature and degree. That the Ships or Vessels entered inwards ;toil outwards at. 'Quebec, previous to 17E6, were under 80: and previous to )/ips, when the Bailie exclusion and great extension of the ColonialTintber Trade commencement a•ere under 240, but there hare been years since. as well as last year, whenthe timber exceeded GOO. Thus the Colonial Tinitter Trads is nmst important in all points of view. -The Northern Nations- are acknowledged to be too poor to •aFord to consume our goods, arid were they not so,they would not he willing to restrict themselves thereto in payment of "their Timber, as the Colonies are. • That the value of Colonial chiefly results from the labour-and expellee of cutting, and bringing it to the Port of Exportation, and the freight afterwards to Great Britain. The former is spent in the Colonies, promotes circulation there, and is invested in British Mannfactures, the capacity -of the Colonists to consume such being increased by the value of the TiMber when shipped. The value of the Timber be fore it is cot being small, may to some.appear a trifi•ng object to the Proprietor of- the ground, but when the ea, ct of the Timber Trade upon the circulation and consumption of the seotto're is considered, and that the Landed Proprietor Le tica:i-tliereby in its facilitating payments, and in apt), eciatiog t hr vatic of the land and its produce, it cannot be doubted tins he derives a great advantage from that Tfade, as does even y r.10r. - is', whether immediately employed or-concern-11 therein or nor,. by the - increased circulation and -consumption conse -spent thereon, giving an increased value to excleaegeable .eominodities, arid an additional field for employment. That it is to solid objection to the Trade that a sovall part . of the Timber is brought from lire States ; the origiea! cost, .ris has already been observ e d, i s li tt l e ; thc'increased value,-ire the shape.' of, epences, is material, and ceutres in the •The freight, which is the most material part re the value of the Timber shipped- in the ColrMies, wttet her of Colonial or Foreign growth., being all in British Shins, and greatly valuable in that respect, hi-cause of its great bulk c...ntributes to !be benefit of great national interests, whereas, the freight, in Foreign Ships, of articles consumed in the United Kingdrim, tends to - protho!e.tioe maritime importance 'of Nations who T4'ce . ntiy -have, been, and niay again become, 'cor inveter,te encmies.

The . -PETITION of• the Unlers;llr.ci: MERCHANTS, Ship p.vnees, and Magistrites of MIKAMICHI, in the Pro - since of New Brunswick, IBuster.Sittwuru , —That it is riot without great anxiety -and alatitt -your Petitioners have heard that an alteration of ihe, existing .arrargentent of Timber .I) , ties is, eon , en, plated to he propos"ClitCt the next Session of Parliament, and such an alteration, , asfif adopted, must ruin a Trade, which with due racouragenteut i will continue to be of incalculable advantage to his M , tjesty.'s Cotonici in North America. That not only are the Merchants, Stiip Owners,' and Tim , . her Cutters, but all other classes of People here, benefited by the Trade, and as one proof anion' , the many your Peti -tioners.cxsuM aditnce irt support of this fact, they bee leave to state, Volt Farthers, who, a few years ago, raised only enough .I , tn their Lamb for the - support of themselves and their f , milies. (and had no incitement to raise more, hecausethere .were then no.• purchasers for what they could spare), have since .tlte estuunencemen; of the Timber Trade, increased their exertions in clearing and itnprofing their• lands, en• lirely on account of the brisk demand for, all sorts of!Fartning, Produce required for the uric of the Timber Cutters and others .connected with the Trade. Amid ntatir iirdustrietts - artd de:-• 4erving Emigrants bare been entiled.tu,settle on-theltilder alet.S hinds of this Countrj, svledr bj aivaas of ttke Mcicht}nts • • advancing 'to them the supplies neeeisaty•for their support, until their lands were brought to a state of cultivation to yield them a subsistence. The supplies so advanced, were payable in Timber, which is generally prepared for nark, t during our long winters, avireu neither farming nor fishing can be carried on. From a thorough conviction that the imposition of a Duty upon Colonial Timber, or any reduction in the Duty upon that from Foreign Coootries, would, by destroying the Trade of this Country, prove utterly ruinous to a large portion of its Inhabitants without the .least possibility of any of them being benefited thereby, your Petitioners are now induced to address your Honourable Hunse. • That in the fullest reliance upon a continuance of the sup = port of Government, and ineuratly conceiving that the inte rests of the Colonies would. never be sacrificed to advance those of Foreign Nations, the i'vlerehants of- this place have expended vast slims foriniog Establishmeuts suitable fur carrying on the Timber Trade, and have been in the habit in importing, and do still_continue to import British Manufac tured Goods t o a l arge amount, which Goods they advance to the Timber Cutters, who have no other way of making pay ment but in the article of Tim her. That in the event of such a stop to the Trade, as the lin persition of the proposed Duty would _occasion, those costly Establishments must go to decay, the Timber Cutters could never pay for their supplies, and all importation of British Goods must cease, for the Merchant here'depends exclusively upon the exportation of Timber to Great Britain to make his remittances. That white or yellow Pine (of which description the great ' hulk of the wood of this Conntry consists) was shipped, and is now shipping at .Irom Fourteen Shillings to Eighteco Shillings per Ton, .which latter is the very lowest rate at which it • can be prepared for market ;—even at these low rates, the importation into the'mother Country this season yielded perhaps, in no instance, any profit beyond the em• ployment of shipping, and im several cases within the know ledge of your Petitioners, was attended with loss to the Itn porter. It is therefore obvious, that no duty, however small, can- be borne, and that the high duty proposed would amount to a complete prohibition of Colonial Timber. That the ruin of those immediately connected with- the Trade would not - he the only evil effect of such alteration of the Duties ; )he Fisheries of the Colonies would be materially injured,••for the Salt used in those l'• :heries is almost with out a smile exception brought out in vessels chartered to carry Timber home; this return Freight enables them to bring the Salt at a rate, which your Petitioners think .would •be trebled at least in the event of a cessation of that Trade. That all the Tinther brought Willis - Market is of the growth and manufacture of the Prormee. Your Petitioners feel a pride in having it hi their power to say, that a more loyal people than his nsjesty's Subjects in this Province, are not to be found in any part of his dorni nions, and they are fully .persuaded that nothing but the withdrawing the prot e cti on hith er t o a ff or d e d them, and thereby destrojing•all prospects of their earning a comfort• able subsistence in this Country, could possibly induce them to remove to a Foreign State ;—distressir , as the abandon ment of the Country w ou ld h e to individual feeling,—alarm-- ing as it undoubtedly is, in a national point of view, and re luctant as your Petitioners are to anticipate- a state of things so dreadful, yet from a sense of duty they feel compelled to state, as their decided and deliberate opinion, that a speedy depopulation of sique Districts of this Country will follow that almost total annihilation of its Trade, which would he the inevitable conseqitence of the contemplated alteration in the Timber Duties. Vast numbers of Emigrants, as' well as of the youth of the Country, and others who have not yet ac quired a fixed residence in it, and therefore do not come tinder the denomination of permanent Settlers, and a number, who are now considered of this latter descliption, would go to sonic Country where farming can (or where they imagioe it eats) be carried, on to more advaritage than in this ; and it is but ton probable, that that Country would be the one, whose ambitious designs all the energies of these Provinces may one day be required to counteract. Your Petitioners beg leave to add to this, their respectful representation, a statement of the number of vessels that have been loaded in the River Miramiebi alone, with the quantity of square .timber they carried, during the under mentioned periods : Tons SquareTitnher. From May to 20th Nor. 1817„216 vessels, carrying 72;033 May to December 181E1..278 vessels, 9?,833 May to December 1619..297 vessels, —.107,061 In addition to which, masts, spars, oars, lathwirad, planks, and stares, to a large amount, were also exported to Great Britain during those periods. Although Mirawichi has this season been most abundantly supplied with Timber, -which has been, and continues to be, offered at prices unusually low, yet, from the general depres sion of Commerce, its export this year will be very consider ably lessened, and a stock will remain on band after loading all the vessels, of about 70,000 tons. Your Petitioners, therefore, humbly pray, that your Hon. House will take into serious consideration the vital import ance of the Timber Trade to these Colonies, and that you will never suffer it to be placed on a footing, less favourable to them than it is at present. And Your Petitioners, as in duty hound, will ever pray. Miraurichi, toth Nov. 1820. PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS. HOUSE OF COMMONS'.

Paris Papers - up to the 7th inst., inclusive reached us this morning. The Frankfort Jour_ . nal of the Ist announces, on good:authority, Worn Munich, that the AUSTRIAN ARMY HAS PAMSED THE PO. In another column we have given an article from the Austrian Obseruer respecting Naples, which is indicative of the views of tho Allied So vereigns in regard to that country, and their de termination to oppose the establishment of the new Neapolitan Constitution. The same Journal, of the 27th ult. declares explicitly that the Pro clamation of the Ist of May, 1815, attributed by Signor Boarw, one of the Deputies of the Neapolitan Parliament, to the King of N'A.PLES, is a fabricated document. It will not be for gotten that in this Proclamation the KING pro mised " to vest the Sovereign power in the people, and to give the kingdom a more vigorous and free Constitution." An article from Vienna mentions, that severe young Officers, who had obtained permission to remain a few days. at Layback►, have sudde►►ly . • received orders to join the Army of Italy with out delay. Naples Journals of the 19th ult. state, that intelligence of the commencement of hostilities was daily expected to arrive in that Capital, and that General PETE had suddenly left Terranao, and repaired to Cheti. At Milan and Rome it was the general belief, that hostilities would take place. In the former Capital the Austrian Police keep a vigilant eye over those persons who are known to interest themselves in political affairs : but strangers more especially are the objects of their jealousy. It appears by private letters from Laybach, that though no official publication has been given of the conferences at the Congress, yet it is well known that Austria and Russia will never consent to the establishment of the Constitution of the Cortes in Naples; but these two powers do•not mean to contend that absolute power shall be re stored. Thus the King of NAPLES will be ena bled to give a Representative Government to his States, and a Constitution in which the predomi nance of the Monarchial principle' shall be main tained. It was reported at Laybacli, on the 27th ult., that the Austrian 'Army were preparing to pass the Po, which tends to confirm the article from Frankfort, announcing the passage of that river by the Austrian army.

The attempts which are now making to Under mine the old policy of the country induces us to call the attention of our readers to the interest ing observations of Mr. MARILYATT in the House of 'Commons last night- on that subject which cannot fail to produce a dccp imprcssion on the mind of every one not warped by prejudice or party feeling ; and we particularly recommend them,-to the calm and dispassicrute consideration of the Agriculfural" Interest. As to the allega tion, that ALL the timber exported from Canada is the produce of the United States, we posi tively know the contrary to be the fact ; a small portion of it, is certainly brought from Lake Champlain, but under circumstances highly fa vourable to the Mother Country, inasmuch as it is paid for in British 114anufactures. The timber exported from Newilrunswick and Nova Scotia is the growth of these Colonies, and we can only express our regret and surprise that any attempt should be made to mislead the public mind -on this important subject. There is a rumour, and we merely give it as such, that there is an intention to introduce a new prayer into the Liturgy, which still include the names 'of the QUEEN and the Duke of Yoax.

Why His MAJ ESTY should be blamed fur _bowing and ,pressing his hand. upon his breast iu testimony of his deep Sense and heart-felt plea sure on receivinc , such ardent, such reiterated, and we may add such universal bursts of loyal affection, with hardly more than half a • dozen despicable exceptions, at both Theatres, we leave to all wise, good, and feeling peopleto 'determine, " One solit ar y flag, and half a score of hand, kerchiefs, waved so as to catch the eye or Roy.- - alty, were sufficient to attest design, and disgrace . the exec u ti on o f i t : a mob of - hireling bawlers, or creatures worse than ordinary hirelings, who , are either already paid out of the public purse,' or mean hereafter to impose the price of their own services, yelled discordantly; and pom of them, we know, felt shame at the employinenti' and heartily wished it over. The QUEEN received tire well-ordered homage of the people with dig- - pity, sakaque e'erenda Majestate—with head and heart erect. But, good Goy ! that we should have lived to see a King of ENGLAND bowing in a play-house, with his hand pressed to his breast, —and that, not to the ordinary auditory of such places, but to an audience, the active part of which were mere creatures sent thither to ap plaud ; - and who, under the solicitation of equal. hopes or expectations, would do the same to his greatest enemy. Let the nation recollect what wets said of. her MAJESTY, when by accident her affairs brought her into the City, and the willing people trooped after her carriage with their rode • but honest acclamations. This comes of debasing royalty by Bills of Pains and Penalties,,by secret commissions, and Italian swearers," SHIP NEWS. DEAL, FEB. 9.--Sailecl last night the whole of tho outward bound.
