FOR THE SUN. TO THE 3JOST NOBLE THE MARQUESS OF LANSDOWNE, CIIAIRMAN OF THE LORDS COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN TRADE, &C. &C. &C. MY Lonio--Greatly as • every sound Political Economist must be at varianee with your Lordship's Foreiens Commercial :Policy under our present circumstances, still, if I rightly under- • stand yoor Committee's proposed measures, it's to be that the East India Charter is not in future to controul English individuals in their trade to and from China, &e. &c. &e. more than Fo reigners. If it 'be so then, all roust concur in thanking your Lordship, and other Members. of: the Lords Committee on Fo reign Thole for the rn,easurea by which you propose to extend Abe priviltes of British individuals, or more properly speaking, destroying the unnatural bar which prevents their enjoying equal priaileges with.,FOreigners in their trading to and from olndia,•China, and the adjacent seas and countries; for however much we ought to guard against foreign competition duty free, yet among ourselves (subjected to such regulations as will make -every British subject pay his fair share to the State, to the ex tent of oar own empire, and to such further extent as to where foreigners .do not interfere). our own commerce should be as free as air. But should the EaSt India Company be so unwise, to impolitic, and, with respect to thephblic, so unjust as to per . eiet longer in acting the part of the dog. in the manger (as the story go;ls) and thereby endeavour to prevent. British subjects from •enjOyine that freedom of trade to and from India, China, and the adjacent • seas and countries which they make no use of themselves, anti fbreignere only now - possess, I most respect fully recommend that your Lordship, and your Colleagues, - do bring - a Bill into Parliament for repealing so much-of the • -Cost India Company's Charter as operates as an'iinpediment ta the aceomplishinent of the above-named,. desirable objects, ,_n condition that the East India Company ghail be compensated • ter any loss which they may thereby sustain, when I wallbring . forward a that:wand bc-sides to prove that the company will not lose a single farthing, while.the public will gain some millions per annum by the repeal in 'question. It is high time that England should open het eyes to her true interest, and. no longer suffer the natural annmerce add wealth eller people to be transferred to foreign rivals fur nor future destruction, out benefiting a single British subject. We must no longer, by • the impolitic acts of our Legislature, deprive our people of their natural industry, to benefit foreign rivals without receiving an equivalent: they deserve better at our hands, yet Ihave that opinion of the integrity of my countrymen in Parlianient, that. had they known the fatal effects of those measures on their country; not ten memb.rs in Parliament would have given their. sanction to our present East India Charter, bor to - our . Commercial Treaties with the United Stater of America, or to the alteration of the duties on foreign timber : this proves how neceSsary it is 'that our Legislature . should be cofnposed of prectical men, possessing sound understandings, •and of true patriotism, a thorough knowledge of .political- economy, and not ehosen rather for sophistical talents than for profound knowledge. I also submit, for your Lordship's consideration, hew far it could be more deairable that a duty of about forty shillings per - ton (more or less), should be paid on our India built shipping, when- they obtain an English general Register ; -as a protecting duty to the English ship builder, than the pre sent contracoed policy of preventing English ships from -doing the Coasting Trade in India, and the India built ships from doing the general trade in Europe and our Colonies. I also submit to your Lordship's consideration how far all restraint on emigration to India should.be done away, ' 'considering how be neficial to the State is the emigration of the excess of our po pulation to countries like India and New South Wales, where they will strengthen the Britisli Empire in cultivating and supplying us with hemp, flax, cotton, and tobacco . (in lieu -of those foreign. rivals who now supply us) anti consume the produce of our • industry. I believe no -man,- however his character may be, but what may, under our pre sent system, easily get permission to go . to India, •if he leis but interest with some member of- the. - I.last India Company, and if he has not, a foreign vessel will' soon waft - him to the shores of British India ; I therefOre conclude, that the present narrow policy of preventing 'Englishmen from going to and settling in India, precludes many from going thi ther of. equally good characters, and others of no worse than those who settle there with the Company's Permission. The restraint is prejudicial to the Empire at large, andlo our com mercial and manufacturing interest in particular. Indeed, for myself, when I think on the unwise lawS which prevent an English ship, or an Englishman, from trading to his own -country, and with his friends . and neighbours,. without a licence from a portion of our own country Men, while foreign vessels, without such restraint, visit, .and trade with us and our neigh bours in and from those quarters, I , feel mySelf disgraced in -being what I once gloried to be, "an Englishman." But an Act, my Lord, to protect every kind of property innlieliritish - Empire, according to its respective value to the state, will not only 'do what I have above recommended, but will, in addition, give to our native and colonial agriculture, our manoracturing,. stripping, and colonial interests, due.proteetionsand cause every • interest io find its own level, as the laying soch properpratect ing duties on.foreinn articles of the same description which we -can produce ourselves, will in their production give. profitable employment to every ihdustriOus man in the Empire, anti render unnecessary the impolicy and wieketineSs of longer .sustaining slavery at the price of liberty and humanity, in order to raise sugar and cotton. It will also repeal the .law which now lays ten shillings per cwt. protecting duty on East India sugar . (which is produced by free people) in favour of 'West India sugar (that is produced, by slaves), which-iv my opinion lessens the Character of the British nation. At the same time East India sugar - would come cheaper to the consumer, give, in , its carriage, ,profitable employment to double the number of British sailors, ship-builders, - and other ship tradesmen and Manufacturers, to the same number of tons of West India . -sugar, consequently double the revenue, political power, and • national wealth to the State. And 1 hope your Lordship, and your colleagues in common, and all the Members of the Legislature ; will see the policy, and ' indwed the necessity of preventing the children, born of slave parent.:, after his present Majesty's coming to the Throne, from becoming slaves, but provide for them in a similar way. to what I have pointed out in - my " Conversations on Political Eto: norny;" and I beg leave further to 'observe; that if proper en couragement to emigration to.lndia and New South Wales were : given, as well as to the cultivation of the sugar-cane and cotton plant in those countries, by protecting duties, they would soon ,reader those articles cheaper than slaves could cultivate the former in the West Indies - or the latter in the United States of _America. This would . tend to destroy, in the most sordid breaks, - the ihotive for enslaving the human species ten times morenlion the measures of-the great philanthropic Mr.. Wilber force, although his acts had the very essence of human merit, acahen the employment of free.people will be more • beneficial to - their employers" than that •of• alaves; And • I assure your Lordship, those who opposed the Colonial Timber Trade (when - it - was attacked by, and:conter.ding with, foreign rival interests) -on the ground of cheapness; to the British Consumer, will ac kaowl edge that the Easandia and British Shipping Interests have double swims on the afore Said opposers for their assistance in •pro.mtiting the equalization of tee duties on East and West 'lndia sugar. I .therefore hope they will, in their support of the aforesaid , aneOsurea, show their - consistency, particularly so when the ,cause of humanity, and the destruction of slivery, add ;their claims to the former motives. • • I wish to be understood - as not desiring to deprive the East India Corn: pony of any privilen by which that Company de benes-4; any_ - tf`ike: froth Them the pkitVefbf thm which foreigners now do, in,. to, and from India, China, . and the adjacent seas and coun tries ; nor do I wish to injure the W.oe Ind;- eoaont, 14 , when property is protected . as aforesaid, one-fourth of our su .gar plantations will be returned to cotton plantations. This, and the exclusion of foreign cotton from the market by pro tecting duties, an increased consumption of sugar which the above measures will create,. will cause the cultivation of cotton to be more beneficial than that of sugar, and cause the supply to be only equal to the demand ; and as to the giving freedom 'to the - slave children which may, and will be born, subsequently to the accession of his present Majesty to the throne, they, with thieir parents, will very soon accomplish their freedom by a na tural consequence, if we do not adopt some such measures as I have recommended ; I therefore, on the whole, consider, that -the West India proprietors, the cause of humanity, the cause of rational liberty and the cause of the Empire, will be served by the Measures 1' have proposed. As to the West India interest being injured by the present .rtntrictions on its trade, if it were opened in a way similar to tho East India, trade, but subjected to a condition that all im ports and exports should be made in British vessels, and fo reign sugar allowed to be imported, - and consumed in the United Kingdom,such a state of things would be much better for the Mother ountry, and much worse for the West India interest,' as a population of slaves is no strength to a state. The superior healthiness of the East India voyage augments the number of our seamen, whereas the West India voyage • opens a grave to those fine fellows ; and this consideration should -weigh in favour of the East India Trade. The distress of a particular interest is not always a question for the consideration of the Legislature, whose duty it is to adopt the great fundamental principle, or rule of ascertaining the value of an interest to the State, and then protect it from foreign . compatiticn.singly . , or generally, accordingly; and sub ject to this common condition, let commerce be as free as air, .taking for the basis of its calculation the quantum of profitable employment such interestmay pFovide for our people, thenational wealth, political power, tithes, and revenue, it may in the ag f r?gate directly, or indirectly, give to the State, as well as what may save from, or pay to thePoors' rates; and if an interest, ta:rr - Stich protection be even, ceases to coo well, it proves itself unworthy of existence, and its destruction to be a public good. On these grounds, and by this test of their respective values to the'State.,- do the laroprietors of our landed, shipping, and colonial (including the East India) interests, wish .to stand or fall, and claim to be 'judged, and prdtected from foreign com petition, .and then let , cornrneree-be free at air; and unless they are so protected, I conceive that our present revenue cannot much longer be eblledted, nor ean'England be restored to pros pefity. PO my letters to the Earl of Liverpool ot.l4st year, which I herewith enclose, and to my " Conversations on Political Economy," which you already have, I refer your Lordship for further particulars, and T trust they will throw additional light on these interesting subjects. I am, with great respect, Your Lordship's very obedient humble servant, JOSEPH PLNSENT. P.S. It should be an invariable rule with the Legislature, (while - we hav,!. an excess of population), to import our supplies from the faitheSt colony ; if they can be rendered as cheap to the consumer as from the nearest colony ;• as by so doing - we should gain a large balance 'of profitable employment to our people, by the additional shipping and sailors employed in their carriage. - J.

Should you be unable, or unwilling, to afford me a satisfactory explanation upon this point, I have then to demand of you the only other reparation which an injury of such a nature admits. " It can hardly he necessary to state to you, Sir, the'reason why this demand has not been sooner made : but I owe it to myself to preclude the possibility of any doubt or misrepresen tation, as to the causes of that delay.

PARLIADdENTAR PAPERS. DISTILLATION.-IRELAND. Copy of a REPORT. from the Excise Officers appointed to in. spect and superintend the Distillery Experiments with Mr. POTTINGER'S MACHINERY at • Custom-House, Dublin, Ja. 1821.IIO„; NointED.Sins—rWe beg leave to report, that agredably to the orders of the Board, we have superintended the Experi ments carried on at the distillery of Mr. John Thompson, at Carrickfergus, with Machinery invented by Thomas POttinger, Esq. for securing the Duties on all Spirits made in licensed distilleries. , The object of this Michinery is two-fold.. First, to keep the produce of the still out of the distiller's reach, during the process of distillation, by securing the mouth or discharge-pipe of the worm, so as to prevent his having access to the liquor running therefrom ; and, at the same time, to allow him to ex amine the strength, heat, and colour of the spirits or singlings as they run. Secondly, to secure the casks, into which these liquors are, run from the worm, in s uc h a m a nner as to pr ev ent the contents being carried' away without being charged with duty, even should the officers be dishonest or negligent • - 10 effect the first of these objects, Mr. Pottinger has contriv ed a very ingenions.; and at the same time a simple apparatus. A sufficient sample of the liquor running through the worth is drawn off by a small pipe, which coneys it into a glass jar, wherein an hydrometer is placed, which indicates the strength of the liquor, on a scale fixed outside, the jar,--the heat being, at the smile dine - shewn by a th erm o me t er ced . within. Over .this jar, another (also of glass) is fixed, which precludes all ac cess to the liquor or run from the worm ' and cannot be remov ed without breaking it. The liquor that constantly overflows the interior jar, passes between the two jars into another small pipe, by which it is re-conducted into the worm, and con veyed to the spirits, singlings, or feints receiver, as the distiller may think proper, . through one cdek With threeapertures, se cured in a cast iron case, which cannot be removed withont breaking it. The apparatus for attaining Mr. Pottinger's second object is, necessarily more complicated. The spirits, low wines, . and . feints receivers are covered (so Much of them as is above ground) by cast iron plates,. bolted, by screws fastened on the inside., Each of these vessels is furnished with a ball-cock, to prevent its being filled above a certain height ; and in. each there is placed a very large 'copper ball attached to a'pump, for the pur pose of regulating the strength, at which the liquor in the ves sel may be pumped out. These balls are in . fact large hydrd inetets, which, when the liquor in the receivers becomes stronger than the given or allowed standard, sink to the bottom of the vessel ; and, by so doing, they open an air valve which commu nicates with the pump, and prevents its working. In addition to these devices, there is placed within the spirit receiver, a machine, by which the spirits are measured as they run from the worn, and the quantity registered by an index : the whole so secured as to be inaccessible to the distiller or . the - officers visiting him. Every part of the Machinery, which. we have been endeavour ing to . describe, does credit to Mr. Pottinger's ingenuity, and evinces a mind fertile in resources. We are happy to add, that the experiment has fully satisfied us the apparatus affixed to the Worm (with some trifling improvements) will completely answer the purpose intended ; by which means the run from the worm may' be • brought under the controul of the Excise, in a manner never heretofore accomplished. Our experiments, however, served to show that this contrivance is best adapted 'to a slow process of distillation ; and indeed, we much doubt that it could be adapted to the extraordinary rapid • system of dis tilling at present carried on in Ireland. We .are not able to make so favourable a report of the Machi nery erected by Mr. :Pottinger; for accomplishing the second part of the plan :. although very • ingenious, it is complicated ; and (as we found on experiment) liable, in most of its parts, to. go frequently out of order. This would in itself be an in superable objection to its adoption : but it is besides liable to another ; namely, that its operation might be defeated by coun, ter-contrivances on the part of the distiller. We do not, there foreithinit'this Part of Mr. Pottinger's plan would be produc tive of, any good result to the revenue ; but Mr. Coffey, one of our number, has suggested a different and simple-description of apparatus; to be combined with that affixed by Mr. Pottinger to the worm; and we are most sanguine in our expectations, that by their united operation', the 'entire revenue can be secured on all spirits made with the licensed utensils. The apparatus to effect this is now in a state of preparation. • Submitted by JAMES TAYLOR, Examiner of Grs. Books. • DANIEL LOGIE, Inspector-General of Excise.

There is nothing, we believe, yet deter mined respecting Ministerial Changes, however confident the reports may be in circulation. The resignation of Viscount SIDMOUTII seems to be more strongly rumoured than any of the other reported changes, and the reason, we conceive, is, that it is well known his Lordship has long desired to retire from the fatigues of office, and there can be no doubt that when he can resign his situation with satisfaction to his feelings of duty, he will avail himself of the opportunity. lie has indeed been one of the most active and laborious, as well as able, mem bers of Government, and has deserved well of his country by zeal, firmness, knowledge, and experience. We received this morning the Paris Papers of Sunday.—The army of the Greeks is represented to have obtained several advantages over the Turks, and all accounts concur in stating that se veral Foreign Officers have joined its ranks. The General of the Spartiates and the Council of the Messenians at Catanialta have, we understand, addressed a joint manifesto to all the Courts of Europe, and so completely successful have bee . n the efforts of the Greeks in the 11Iorea, that the Senate there have transmitted Proclamations to Naples and Leghorn, announcing that the com merce of the Peninsula, with the maritime towns of Italy, will suffer no interruption whatever, the Greeks having a fleet of three, hundred armed vessels to protect their trade, and to maintain their cause. The assassination of Au PACHA is generally credited. From. Constantinople we learn, that so far from the excesses of the infuriate populace hav ing been put an end to, they yet continue in as great force against the Greeks, and all those who afford them any assistance. The ancient Patriarch C YRIL and INIORAGANI, brother of the Turkish Charge d'Affaires at Vienna, an old man of seventy, have fallen victims to their rage ; and their brutal fury is directed even against the public buildings belonging to the Greeks, for not a single Greek Church or Chapel has escaped pro fanation, and nearly total destruction. It is added, that several bloody conflicts had taken place among the Janissaries, but the cause is not as signed. - In the French Court of Peers, on Saturday, M.

On the 21st and 22d April two-ships arrived there which brought 40 cannon, 260 d muskets, 2000 sabres, and other military stores.

An unauthenticated account states that the Turks have occupied Bucharest, and that another Turkish corps arrived in the neighbourhood on the 10th May. The Greeks in Moldavia and Wallachia were stated to be flying on all sides, and their forces to have dispersed. 4 C FROM TRANSYLVANIA, MAY 20.—The ex ecution of the Greek Patriarch took place at Constantinople amidst the acclamations of a Turkish mob ! After the body had been dragged through the city by the Jews with the most dreadful insults, a Greek at length succeeded in obtaining the body from them (while yet entire) for 100,000 piastres, on which it was thrown into the sea, but immediately taken up by Sailors who were ready for the diurpose, and sent to Odessa, where it has since arrived. The corpses of five other Bishops, who had been put to death, were also expected at Odessa, and the Russian Government had sent to St. Petersburg for instructions respecting their burial. " The Greeks flatter themselves that the cruel ties offered to the head of their Church will greatly contribute to induce the Servianse to take a more active part than they have yet done in the Insurrection. Sixteen Greek Churches are either prophaned or destroyed, and . the Pa lace of the Patriarch lies-half in ruins. His suc cessor, whose name is Eweny, is not likely to have a better fate, and has been already dragged through the city by the heard, and with diffi culty rescued by the Janissaries out of the hands of the mob. " Respecting the armaments and undertakings of the Greeks by sea, there are various reports in circulation, which nedriy coincide : 105 arm ed Greek vessels are stated to be cruising in the Archipelago. This number does not seem exag gerated, if the numerous barks are reckonedi which have always carried on piracy in those seas. Sixteen large vessels, fitted out at Jasql and Specie, have taken their station in the Dar danelles, and already obliged six French vessels, with wheat for the Turkish Government, coming from Alexandria, to deliver their cargoes to them on paprrent of freight, though these vessels were. escorted by a frigate - belonging to Ali, Pacha of Egypt. " Letters from Varney confirm the news of hostilities committed against Turkish vessels by. an American squadron. Instances are even men' tioned in which the mere neighbourhood of that squadron .has been- of essential service to the Greeks in some islands of the Archipelago. The Americans have also fired salutes to testify their satisfaction at the deliverance of the Mores. ' According to - the latest accounts, Jassy WO still- without a Turkish garrison, though the Pacha of Ibrailow, after committing many cruel' ties„, bad encamped near: Galacz with a corps of 8 or 10,000 men. It.ig -still affirmed that Ypsilanti has passed the Danube with 40,000 men. A certain Pend deka, formerly a merchant, is said to infest Mol davia with a corpS. The Turks having cut off . the communication between Kischanow Wallachia prevents the arrival of authentic in- elligence.
