There has never, perhaps, been a period in Modern His tory, when it could be less necessary than at the present mo ment, to enforce reasons for publishing a new system of Geo graphy. The political Eventsr of the last few years, have eo entirely changed the territorial relations of datrent States, that all existing Geographical Works have been ren dered, in a mtnsure, obsolete. In this Work, the mutations which hate taken place will he fOund minutely explained, by an accurate development of facts, foundtA on official and authentic Documents.

I allude to what fell from you on' this questiou, in the debate in the Haase of Com mons in the month of May last, upon the agricultural In-that debate yon es pressed yourself in these words: " The Home had beets told of the existing distress of the agiiCl:ltmist: but how was it posstble to charge that distress on the existing Corn Laws, and to maintains that the low price of corn was attributable to them, when the fact was, that no foreign corn had-been imported since Feb. 18 19 , before which period, you believed, there wat not a single quarter of foreign corn in the (bonded) warehouses ? How low, therefore, the present price of , corn, it could not, with any justice and rea son, be attributed *.o any inefficiency in the present law."

In this extra ordinary import then is to be found the excess, winch has caused that degradation in the value of grain - , which has pro-. &Iced the degradation, in the - value of laboui,and of property of every description of which all complant, without ascribing it to its real. cause. With you, Sir, I can base no difficulty in maintaining, that. supply and demand, isa all cases, govern pr ice - ; and, if this be true, it follow;, that if this 30,000,000 ofbushels of grain and 24 millions of pounds of wool had not been imported,duty free, ipto this country, those commodities must have remained at tract:, natural price., and maintained such a value in our own markets as the natural relations of sup p ly aiici ffe'r l 6nd bad previously established. Men do not grow what they can not sell, nor grow more of any pal ticular article than the de mand, judging by the experience of. the past, .shall warrant for the future; - and thus it is that-supply and demand in every . age, and in all stages of society, mutually adjust themselves. to each other. Bence it follows that if our ports bad not been opened at the return of peace for the import of produc tions similar tt, those of our own soil, duty tree, trout coun tries where land and labour are so much lower than in this country, these islands would have maititaitted the 'sante attiL. tulle with respect to supply and demand in which they stood in 1816 and our agriculture, commerce, and manufactures, would lave continued to contribute to the support of each other is they had done up to that year. The growers of grain its Russia, or in Poland, could no more have interfered with tie skill, capital, and labour of the cultivators of the soil of the United Kingdom, than the silk Mannfacturers of Asia, •or of France, can with those of Spitalfields. But, unbamily for the country, the speculation in grain at an apparent profit of cent. per cent., that is, from 355. to4os. per quarter for foreign wheat delivered in. Lon don, asd . 60s. per quarter there whenever the ports should open, logether with the fascinating cry of cheap bread, and that prospect of a consequent reduction in war es, where by ou; manufacturers were to extinguish all their rivals in foreign markets; these wet e blessings too tempt ing to be withstood : and, as Doctor Adam Smith has said, the landlords and farmers haying commonly nei ther iodination nor fitness to enter into combinations, the clamour and sophistry of merchants'and manufacturers, vibra ting these expected blessings through every corner of the United Kingdom, by' means of our extended press, easilypet suaded the public, that the private interest of a part, anti of a subordinate part of the society, is the general interest of the whole. But what fruit have these too eager votaries of gain ga thered from this most visionary prospect- ?--Why, truly, they have grasped at the shadow and lust the substance ; they have dried.up the sources of wealth which the productions of our own soil, when sold at their natural prices, incessantly showered down . upon them by the purchase and consumption of 7-liths of every thing they could import or make, at their own prices. 'I hey have superseded the lebours of the soili and with that of every other branch of industry we can name. By superseding of such labour, and consequent reduction in its tilor, they have inflicted more personal suffering, more-de privations of the comforts and luxuries of - life, upon a very large proportion of the inhabitants of these islands, in the last 6 years, titan a war of 20 years of unexampled expenditure ever produced ; mid having set the house on fire, they run away by the light, and say the taxes are oppressive, and nit rite alt the pressure of the times to taxation ! ! When the productions of our soil created annually a gross produce of the value of 216,000,000 and upwards as 'they did in ISIS, and when every other branch of industry bore its relative proportion tothis standard, the taxes were collected, front "such funds, with the greatest facility; but when such funds became reduced by an excessive import of similar productions,, , duty free, to 1- 3rd, .and now tit the mo ment 1 am writing to one ball of the value they bore in 1313, my greatest astonishment is, that the taxes are so well paid' as they are. , But, Sir, the great misfortune is, that all mankind-are too prone to legislate, without sufficiently examining the conse-, queeces and effrct of their• legislation.; and, therefore, I can readily believe the commercial and manufacturing interests. no' more 'contemplated the reduction and degradation of the commerce and manufactures of this country, by the admission of foreign proiluee, duty tree„. (whereby every thing was to become so cheap and plentiful t) than the tanners of old, when they obtained au Act in the Ist year of .lames 1. to prevent the felling of . British oak Coulter, except in the months of April, May, anti June, foresaw, or contemplated, that the price of such a concession to them would be the sacrifice of the British Navy, `by• producing dry rot in timber fallen at. that unseasonable time, of the year. But subsequent experience has exposed the folly of sacrificing the timber to save the bat It, themas it wilt ei less mistaken and destructive policy of sacri ficing the agriculture, with a view to benefit the commerce, and manufactures, of the country; and which, in • six short years, has seduced and degraded all, to a point which the. most melancholy alarmist we have upon reeved has: never yen.' tared to predict. I am . perfectly aware, that in these observations which 1 have now the honour to submit to you, I have laid myself Open to the returtr 'heti am myself afflicted with the tutor mania-for legislating which I have imputed to- the twitters, the merchants, and maoufactuters, and which 1 have veu tuted so strongly to condemn in them. To this I reply, there is this great difference between us.-1 ask of pawn° new projects, 1 solicit no sacrifice of timber for bock, no interrup tion to the commerce and manufactures of the cutintry, whereby'to create a monopoly in favour of agriculture; bat I simply address myself to you as the official organ of his Ma s jeity's Government, the immediate arbiter of right and wrung between all the conflicting interests by which you arc perpe loans, importuned and say, grant to ag,riculture the same pro tection in principle, but not. in extent, for that we do nut covet, as the commerce and manufactures of this country have heett protected and -supported by fur: upwards of three centuries and a half, and which has stood the test of ex- perience during the whole of sach period, and that is all I seek or, to be more explicit, grant os - countervailing duties -on all the productions of our soil to the extent of-the dale !, Fence in value between this country acid poorer nations, or the 1 agriculture of this coo Lary most languish imol decline, curd ours ourcommerce and manufactures in its ruins. -For instance, wheat can he bought on an average of years in Foreign. Count cies for less than 409 per quarter, delivered in London. in this country it cannot be grown at less than -BUs per quarter, 'a duty t herefore of- 40s per .ptarter is neces sary to co:inlet - rail this difference in wheat,- and so iu propor fiarr for every other pro)lnction of our own soil. Grant but this, and the British' Merchants ansl'Hanotte turers will find tar better customers, in price and payment, for every thing they can produce, than all the world besides can furnish them ! they Imve - bad the fairest - experiment Upon earth it) the converse of Wis. proposition .during the-last ail years; and surely common candour, common justice, and sound policy, I, uight to impel them now to i,041 in applying to you and to the Legislature; . to try-the -experensent , of 11 cutp. ter-propusition fur the neat six years; and if. it shall fail of creating industry, an.d prusperity, unknown before, to every corner of the united kingdom, and in every branch irt i- 'colt uei Cmanterze s: an dinantafael urea - ,-irsl3od's tiaras let such protection be forthwith repealed; but in tin- present st a gna . - lion of every branch of industry, surely the C:lptlillletit Worth the trial. ' I j conse.nowto solicit your . attention to the .three importa4 articles of wand, bides, and tallow: these are all permitte4 to be itupcirtrU intii thin country at very inatieqUale ;!title , ; the great in;nry ut the •grow era, but to thre , still great injory of the country , at tare.

Its this met:tore again, I fear ;IT imrr been legislating to save theloark at Om yxpence of the timber. By tt rough estimate I calculate that every bnllnct. mar sheep slaughtered in this. cMlute) reti:rus less tot he stale, ti,e row by 40s. and the other by I Os• a head, than they would do f he import of wool, hides, and tallow were properly restrained. The additional growth of these articles, theta fore, if planet - - 1y encotiraged, would make 'a vet y sensible. addition to Mar means of sustaining the interest of erne tuitional drill, and, submit to you, ought not to lie °vet looked; and although upon the commencement of any restraint of iaport, these firth Its might, anti would thceSsatily, advance in, price for a time, vet at no distant period would tI e svpinly, front the extraor dinary competition thereby created in the growth, so tom- • pletely equal the demand, that the cur:sinners would soon he supplied on the same terms they arc :it present, and the coun try at large benelifted by such au a lditional creation of wealth (ruin one own soil.' Without fatiguing you, therefore, with a repetition of this argument,. let Me observe once fur all, that in a country like this, the -fertility of whose soil is boundless, and the industry of whose people is interminable, (except hy_the of foreign ea:at-audit ie., duty free, winch most paralize every efrott of body and mind, and with which no !lonian frame can compete), this reasoning applies to every thing which our suit is capatte of producing, Hod 'Security for our skill,lcapital, and labour in the - production, is all we need. In former times, the wool of Great Britain was equal to one fifth of the rental; aloha tire years ago I made 4 comparison of its relative. proportion, and it was then only one eighth; but oh adding the' value of 'our int Ports to Cali- Own growth, I found the whole still equal to one filth of the rental, although this country - had lost the supply of the diffei yore. '• But it may be said, we cannot grow a stifliritincy of;ane wool to supply -our manufactimers. This I deuY; hut, fur argument sake, I will admit see eannia ; lit the manufac turers, therefore, import :tame t+ f o reign wool as they please, at, a fair countervailing dote ; ;And if any mart he desirous Of wearing cloth or a fi tter fate, is thtto ibis soil will supply, the utmost extent Witte tax will .be 3s. 4d. to 4s, per coat, for the distinction. Why, Sir, the difference in the price of his mutton would pay this tax, and these islands would realize upwards of two ,millious sterling annually the more itt the growth of our wool. Can you contemplate the treble nionopolyWhich the clothi ers of this country have (teen permitted by the legislature, front time to time to weave for themielves,wit bout horrorialits injustice, and im policy too Permit me to call it to yOur'irecol lection;—tst. By the 7th and Silt William 111, and divers other statutes, they . have effectually prevented the rapoit of any of our wool its pn tuanufact tired state ; end. They have procured a duty of il.• Is. 6d. per yard, to be laid ao the 'im port of all manufactured woollens. But t u ft content with this double monopoly, to which I believe 1110 grow, rs -11.1eir not the slightest objection, unless they persist in the that, - they wain, in the ard' place, to have a free import of:foreign wools, duty free, ft row every part *tithe globe. • It is true the legislature has lately imposed a small duty of 6,1. per lb. on the inquiet of foreign wools; but this is only 'a feather on tlie finest sorts, and will have no effect in promot ing the growth of fine wool in this country, although it is some motectiott tei the coat ser sorts.
