A T a GENERAL MEETING of the SHIP OWNERS, and others interested in BRITISH SHIP PING, held at. the House of Thomas Oyston, Golden Lion Inn, South Shields, on Tuesday, the 3d day of April, 1822, in pur suance of notice, for the purpose of taking into consideration the Consequences of the proposed ALTERATION in the NA VIGATION LAWS of this COUNTRY ; H. F. HEATH, Esq. in the Chair ; It was Resolved, That in the opinion of this Meeting, any Alteration in the Navigation Laws of this Country which may militate against the Spirit and Principle of•the 12th Charles 11. will be highly injurious, not only to the welfare of the British Ship Owners, and all others engaged in the Equipment or Navigation of Ships, but also to the best Interest of the Em pire, by impairing its most effective means of defence against toreign aggression,_ and encouraging in an equal Ratio the prosperity of the Navy of other Countries. That the Petitions to each House of Parliament, read to the Meeting, are highly approved of, and that the same be adopted as the Petitions of this Meeting, and signed by all present. That a Committee be appointed for the purpose of watching over the progress of the Bill now in Parliament respecting the Navigation Laws, to correspond with such Members of each House as they may select to present the Petitions, and for tak ing such other steps as may appear best calculated to carry into effect the objects of this meeting. That the following Gentlemen constitute the Committee, viz. Messrs. H. F. Heath, Charles Magnay, G. M. Cleugh, James Laing, James Kirkley, John Clay, G. Marshall, Thos. Bell, and Daniel Heatley, with power to add to their number. That these Resolutions, with the Petition, be printed, and sent to the different Ports in the Kingdom, and to the Mem bers of each House of Parliament. H. F. HEATH, Chairman. The Chairman having left the Chair, it was resolved, That the Thanks of this Meeting be given to him for his able con duct therein. To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. in Parliament assembled. The humble Petition of the several Persons whose names are here-under written, being Ow-ers, part Owners of, or otherwise interested in, British Shipping registered in the Port of Newcastle, and belonging to South Shields, and its environs • Sheweth,--That your Petitioners are either professionally Seamen, or have embarked their capital under the faith of the Navigation Laws t or are otherwise so dependent on the Ship ping, that any measure tending to lessen its employment would prove ruinous to your Petitioners. That your Petitioners beg leave to submit to your Honour able House, that they have suffered a greater depreciation in their property since the conclusion of the war, than perhaps any other class of his Majesty's subjects ; and that the great sur plus of shipping have so lowered the freights, that the proceeds from them are not sufficient to pay the expences of their voy ages. That the shipping are charged with heavy duties on every article necessary to their equipment, exclusive of a gross ton nage duty, of which nothing has been reduced since the con clusion of the war ; and, added to these burthens of taxation, they have to pay a higher rate for provisions and wages than the shipping of other countries. From these causes foreigners are enabled to take freight at a lower rate; and as the smallest difference in that respect determines the preference of the mer chants, the carrying trade must be wrested from us unless en couragement is given to the British Shipping, by a close adhe rence to the Navigation Laws. In considering the importance of these laws, from the early period of our history we learn the high value our ancestors set on the shipping-interest of the country ; from the infancy, of our trade, it was fostered by them with the greatest c a re and attention, by enacting, at dif ferent periods of time, a series of wise and salutary regulations, for the express purpose of preserving to British ships (under certain regulations) sundry portions of our trade with foreign countries, together with the whole of our coasting and colonial trade. The great benefits which have resulted from this wise system are too obvious to require detail ; it is sufficient to ob serve, that it has increased the wealth and naval strength of Old England to a high pitch of prosperity and power, and placed her in the most distinguished and pre-eminent situation as a great maritime nation. These truly venerated enactments had their best principles consolidated into that ever memorable Statute, the 12th of Charles 11., of which the declared object is "to increase the Shipping and Navigation of this Nation, wherein, under the good Providence and protection of God, the wealth, safety, and strength of this kingdom is so much con cerned ;" and after the country has experienced the beneficial effects of this act for nearly two centuries, the Committee of the Honourable House of Commons, sitting on the Navigation Laws, pass an eulogium that " a just respect for the political wisdom from which the enactments of the Navigation Laws originated, and a sense of the national advantages derived from them, in their effects on the maritime greatness of the king dom, have rendered them objects of attachment and veneration to every British subject." That your Petitioners fully participate in these sentiments, and are moreover fully persuaded that, however wise and salu tary the Navigation Laws were in the infancy of our commerce, they are now become more imperatively so ;—not only from the jealousy entertained by the European Powers of our maritime and commercial greatness, and from the many forward strides and intentions manifested by the United States of America to rival Britain in her natural element, but likewise from the livvy duties at present imposed upon British shipping, as it must be evident to your Honourable House, that in the first essays in trade, the competition between us and other maritime States depended then on the respective exertions which each nation made in industry ; our ships were not then fettered with such heavy duties as have since been imposed on them from the exigence of the State, which our maritime rivals have not to bear in the same proportion. It therefore must be obvious to your Honourable House, that this is not the time to make alterations or grant concessions, inimical to the established prin ciples on which our Navigation Laws are founded. This would be surrendering the benefits so hardly won, and of which the shipping and seamen stand so much in need,—which, if con ceded, would increase the navigation of other States , and thereby increase their means of offence in time of war. Your petitioners beg leave again to remind your Honourable House, that they have long been suffering under the difficulties which nearly all classes of his Majesty's subjects have experienced, since the conclusion of the war of such long duration, which had much increased the number of ships and seamen; but con sidering this depression a natural effect, they never attempted to trouble the Legislature with complaints for which there appeared no immediate redress. That whilst thus suffering under the greatest depression, they are not more astonished than alarmed to find a Bill pend ing before your Honourable House, intituled, " A Bill to ex plain and amend the several acts for the encouraging and in creasing of Shipping and Navigation, and to regulate the im portation of goods and merchandize into Great Britain, so far as relates to the countries from whence, and the Ships in which, such importation shall be made,"—the principles of which, if carried into effect, are totally subversive of the ancient system of Navigation, under the faith of which they embraced their profession, and embarked their respective capitals, and which will tend to abrogate the principles contained in the 12th of Charles ] which confines the importation of all goods or commoditii s whatever, of the growth, production, or manufac ture, of Asia, Africa, or America, to be imported direct from thence in British ships only. By this wise enactment was secured to this country the whole of the long transit from three quarters of the Globe, and the next object was to secure the importation of the commodities, manufacture, and productions, of Europe, direct from the place of their origin, in British ships, or in ships belonging to coun tries of which the cargoes were the produce. In these enactments, your Petitioners see nothing more than the fair and equitable principles of reciprocal justice, they see nothing in them hostile or invidious, nor are they any infringe ment on the rights of any other state ; taking it as a long ac knowledged principle, that all nations enjoy such right, and have regulated their conduct on such principles, whenever it was their interest so to conduct themselves. And that England has found it not only expedient, but absolutely necessary, to adopt it as her best means of defence ; and that the security of her distant Colonies depends on her maintaining these princi ples. Viewing . this system as maintained through so many succes sive centuries, what other sensation than the strongest feeling of alarm can your Petitioners express on finding a Bill actually pending . before your honourable House, containing an entire ew principle (so diametrically opposite to e before acted upon) by which the goods Mid merchandise, being she gcowth, production, or manufacture of Asia, Africa, or Arne rico ) shall be imported into Great Britain from ay put of Asia, Africa, or America, or from any port-or place in Europe, in British ships or vessels ? Only that the produce of Europe may be imported into Great Britain in a British ship or vessel, or in a ship or vessel belonging to the country of which the cargo is the produce, or in ships or vessels the build of the country or port, or place in Etirope, from whence or from, any port whereof such goods and merchandize shall be exported or shipped, for'the purpose of being exported to . Great Britain. To these provisions in the pending Bill, your Petitioners beg leave to solicit the attention of your Honourable House, that as regards the imports between Great Britain and Asia, Africa, and America, the long transit is ceded to all nations; only, that an English ship must be employed from any foreign port to Britain, and that the imports between Great Britain and all parts of Europe stand so open, that should the pending. Bill receive the sanction of the Legislature, the produce and manufacture of the whole world (the excluded articles ex cepted), may be deposited in the Scheldt, or the Room Pot, or any other continental depot contiguous to our shores, and which it will be the interest of other Powers to establish, not only as a commercial benefit, but as the sure means of annihilating the Commerce and Naval Power of Great Britain. In this way will the brave and hardy Tars of Old England become the lightennen in the transit from those depots to Britain in steam-boats and other small craft, to the seamen of conti nental Europe and America :—that this must soon be the result if such a new system of transit receives the sanction of ' the Legislature, is the firm belief of your Petitioners. Your Petitioners submit to your Honourable House that in the late tremendous struggle to subdue revolution, the blood and treasure of this Country was unsparingly expended, and that the abolition of the Slave Trade, and many other spontane ous concessions have been made, too numerous to detail, which are proofs beyond any doubt of the generous and liberal prin t ciples which reat Britain has cted upon. But notwithstand ' ing these sac G rifices,Petitioners have never been able to discern from a Foreign Tariff, nor in any other way, that other nations or states are smitten with a propensity for concession ; they seem influenced as all nations generally have been, care fully looking after their own interests. Your Petitioners are not amongst those who - consider that the time is arrived when all the restrictive Statutes in the kingdom may be repealed, so as to admit a perfect freedom of trade ; but should that time be arrived, they will never object to it as a general principle fbr all classes to conform to, yet they earnestly hope that they are not singly to be sacrificed to make the expe riment ; as they entertain a more old-fashioned opinion—that the marine laws made England what she is—and by her ma rine laws she must maintain her pre-eminence, or fall into the rank of a very subordinate State. Your Honourable 1-louse are fully sensible of the' necessity of protecting a profession, on which depends the powerful ma rine which is the natural protection of the Empire, and which the agriculturists and manufacturing interests are as much in. terested in preserving, as those who are immediately connected with the marine. Your petitioners are more anxious than any other class' of his Majesty's subjects that a careful revision of the Navigation Laws' should be made ; but your petitioners, relying with the utmost confidence on the wisdom of your Honourable House, trust that in this revision your honourable House will never, under any circumstances, surrender that great principle which is contained in the 12th of Charles the Second, " wherein, under the good providence and protection of God, the wealth, safety, and strength of this kingdom is much concerned." Your Petitioners therefore humbly pray, that they may be heard by Counsel against so much of the Bill as affects them, and that the said Bill may not pass into a law as it now stands ; and also that your Petitioners may have such relief in the pre mises as to this Honourable House shall seem meet. And your Petitioners will ever pray, &c. THE LONDON JOURNALS. EXTRACTS FROM THE DAILY MORNING PAPERS, April 10, 18'22. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] Among our extracts from American Papers will be found a Message to both Houses of Con gress from the President of the United States,-- (see THE SUN of ,yesterdcw),—recommending a recognition of the various American Provinces lately belonging to Spain, which have declared and are in the enjoyment of their Independence. The wish of the nation on this subject has been long a matter of notoriety, and if the leading men in the United States have shewn less appa rent warmth of interest in the cause of their Southern brethren than was shewn in their own at a very critical period by some of the Monarchs of Europe, the reason is perhaps to be found in the difficult situation in which they wore placed with respect to Florida. Certainly the recog nition can hardly be deemed premature by the most fastidious of the,Legitimate Governments of Europe. Spain will, no doubt, repine at the loss of her Colonies, and that she should do so, is not to be wondered at. These Colonies were to her a source of revenue. While the people of England are burdened to pay part of the ex pences of colonies (of which the revenues in many cases, no doubt, sufficient for all neces sary charges, are squandered in sinecures and extravagant salaries to the connections of those who" possess Parliamentary interest), a con siderable balance, after paying all expellees in America, was remitted e:•ery year to Spain. Our colonies are only valuable to us as markets for commodities ; and the in tercourse with them would in this respect be more beneficial if they were altogether inde pendent of us. Spain, however, has lost her reverme, and will have besides the mortification of seeing other nations farther advanced in in dustry, reaping advantages from which she must long remain excluded.—We certainly think it would have become our Government to have acted along with that of the United States on this occasion. To no people in the world is the in dependence of South America an affair of greater importance than to us. Our future prosperity must be in a great measure dependent on the prosperity of that part of the world. Every ad vance in its cultivation will be felt by the nu merous inhabitants of our manufacturing districts. Interested, therefore, as we are in the welfare of South America, as being in a great degree es sential to our own, the Government of this Country is the last which ought to have shewn any reluctance to take the step which the Ame rican President proposed. We could wish Mi.. nisters had shewn a little more attention to the wants and wishes of the Nation than they appear to have shewn on this occasion. [NEW TIMES. Our private letters from France mention that arrangements have already begun to be made for the approaching elections, and that every thing indicates an accession of strength to the Royalists, and an exclusion of several of the most furious demagogues from the Chamber by their rejection oa the part of their coestitueste• lii the depart meat of the Loiret MM. Crignon Dauzouer and De Rocheplatte, both Members of the right side, are named Presidents of Electoral Colleges. M. Dandigne also a President, is a Royalist of an cient date. In the department of the Orne, M. Boucher d'Argis is appointed a President. These nominations shew that the Ministry are not inat tentive to their duty on so important a point. It is not doubted but that M.Laisne de Villevesque will lose his seat for the Loiret. This gentleman began his legislative career well on the right side of the Chamber : thence he slid into the centre, and at last has fairly gone oyer to the cote gauche. It is alleged that (like a certain noted Reformer in our own country) he thought the Ministers wanted judgment, because they did not offer him a handsome, place, which would have suited him very well, for his purse-is not abundantly replenished , 'Be this as it may, his new profession of liberalism is not likely to turn out very well : on the contrary he himself is likely to be turned out.—The liberaux complain bitterly that they are ridiculed in songs which are sung about the streets. M. Tirecuir de Corcelles, for instance, is nicknamed Monsieur Cuirsel, which offends him mightily. These gentlemen forget how much they were delighted with the blasphemous and seditious songs of Berenger. To insult God and the King was in their estimation very allowable ; but to offend M. de Corcelles and M. de Marcay was beyond all bearing I [THE TIMES.] An important Paper has come to hand from America, being a Message from the President of the United States to Congress, recommending to them a recognition of the Provinces which lately constituted the Spanish Empire in the New World, as sovereig n and independent States. — The principle whic has been adduced to justify this proposition cannot, we apprehend, be fairly controverted with any regard to common sense, or to the law of nations. Any Government de facto may be rightfully recognized, no matter how it may have originated. The fact of so vereignty is, indeed, the only general test of the right of sovereignty ; and where the interest and welfare of foreign nations present strong induce ments to their respective Governments to acknow ledge the independence of a given State, whether it be Monarchy or Republic, whether a revolted colony or a liberated conquest, provided it be in the actual exercise of that independence, no blame can fall upon the Governments which so consult the welfare of their subjects, and perform the acts of recognition. Accordingly, no new or questionable ground is taken by Mr. Monroe in advocating this duty of friendship and sound po licy towards the old Spanish provinces. The chief interest of his Message is in the facts which it conveys, and in the confidence and authority with which the President affirms the irreversible success of the patriotic arms throughout the whole extent of what has hitherto been .Spanish America. The Message declares, that between Spain and her Provinces, since the beginning of the war, the United States have fulfilled impar tially the several obligations of the neutral cha racter. It then proceeds to trace, with a rapid pencil, a general outline of the conflict, and of the results derived from it. by each grand division of the Spanish Empire in succession. Buenos Ayres has enjoyed since 1310 the advantages of an independent state, and assumed the rank of one in 1816. The Provinces composing Columbia, after separately declaring their indepeudence,were formally united under one Government towards the end of 1319; and the Spanish force by which they were then tormented has since been either wholly captured or destroyed, with the excep- - tion of a small fragment which is blockaded in two of the fortresses. The provinces on the Pacific are equally triumphant. Chili, since 1813, has been undisturbed by her old masters ; Peru has been freed by her aid, and by that of Buenos Ayres; and, finally, Mexico has asserted her independence, to which " there is no oppo sition, nor a force to make any." The President, therefore, concludes that the fate of these pro vinces—quoad any chance of a resumption of her dominion over them by Spain—is irrevocably settled. —maw— [MORNING HERALD.] The American intelligence received yesterday is highly interesting. It appears that the United States have at length formally acknowledged the independence of the South American Govern ments, without waiting for the concurrence of other Powers, with which it was originally in tended to act in concert. According to the American President's words, however, " the im mense space between those Powers—even those that border on the Atlantic—and these provinces makes the movement an affair of less interest and excitement to them." It may be suspected that the American Administration, which is distin guished by the dexterity with which its foreign relations and the national interests are conducted, as well as by the allowabre thirst of commercial 'lucre, has required some advantages in trading intercourse as the condition of this early, but not 'premature, recognition of the iudependence of the South Americans. Any advantage in this way, however, cannot be of any great import ance or of lasting duration. Nations, like indi viduals, cannot easily be kept from providing what, they want, and disposing of their super fluity where they can da so mot adv. iltligVoultlY• Their independence was practically so thoronghiy established, that the boon of the recognition is, nut of very great importance to them.

Their contents .are more than usually important. The President of the United States, has caused a Message to be communicated to the Senate and House of Representatives, re commending in strong. terms that 'the several Spanish American Provinces which have suc ceeded in throwing off the supremacy of tiie parent country, should be expressly recognised by the United States as free and independent Governments. This Message, we are given to understand, has long been anticipated through out the Union, and it may indeed•he regarded - but as an echo of the sentiments which, upon this interesting subject, have been known to prevail in the House of Representatives. A Rep. solution was adopted by the House on the 30th of January last, requesting the President to ray before it such information as was in the posses sion of the Executive Authority concerning the state of the war between Spain and her revolted Colonies. This Resolution was manifestly in tended to be the prelude to some such measure as the President now proposes, and as the strong current of public opinion was found to set in this direction, it was judicious in the President to assume the guidance of a power which it would be perhaps impossible for him: to resist. No doubt therefore can be entertained that the re commendation of the President will be speedily carried into effect, and that so far as the recog nition of the United States can operate, the Re publics of Columbia, Peru, Chili, Buenos Ayres, and Mexico, will assume a. rank and station amongst the independent Sovereignties of the world. [MORNING POST.] • The event which we have long anticipated is come to pass. The independence of the Spanish Colonies is- now to be fully recognised by the American Government, and the great commercial advantages which might have been almost exclu sively secured to this country are on the eve of falling into other hands. .Ample. proofs of this unpleasant fact will be found in the Message sent on the 10th ult. by the President of the United States to the House of Representatives. In this important document, a clear and temperate view is taken of the relative situation of Spain and her Colonies, and the contest between them is represented as having reached such a stage, and having been attended with such decisive success on the part of the latter, that its fate may be considered as sealed, and " that those pro- Vinces which have declared their independence, and are in the enjoyment of it, ought to be recognized." The Provinces thus generally , - mentioned are afterwards individually specified. They consist of the Republic of Columbia, the States of Buenos Ayres, Chili, and Peru, and the Empire of Mexico. The history of their warfare is briefly given, the extent of their triumphs measured, and the length of time during which they have maintained a free . and se parate existence faithfully recorded. It is then shown that for the last three years the government of Spain has not sent a single corps of troops to those countries, and that there is no reason to believe it will send any in future. '" Thus it is maniff st," conti nues' the Message, " that all those Provinces are not only in the full enjoyment of their in dependence, but considering the state of war and other circumstances, that there is not the most remote prospect of their being deprived of it." An allusion is then made to some communica- tions which are said to have passed between the American Government and European Powers, respecting the proposed recognition, in order that the measure should be One of general concert. The latter, however, seem to have answered, that " they were not prepared for it," and the only excuse which the President can find for their refusal is, that the immense space between those Powers, even those which border on the Atlantic, and the emancipated Provinces, make the movement an affair of less interest to them than to the United States. The Message closes by declaring, that in proposing to recognise the independence of the Spanish Colonies, it is not contemplated to change in tl►e slightest degree the friendly relations existing with either of the parties, but to observe in all respects as heretofore, should the war be conti nued, the most perfect neutrality between them. It is then recommended that the necessary ar rangements should be made for carrying the measure into effect.
