TO THE RIGHT HON. T. WALLACE, VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE, &C. 22, Birchin-lane, May 21, 1822. SIR,—If the public prints of this day report your Speech of last night on the Navigation Laws correctly, I have no hesitation in saying, that you know but little of the fundamental principles on which Commerce is founded, and to the many hundred pounds I have already of fered to stake with you (as per letter inserted in The Public Ledger of the 11th January last), I will venture to add 1001. sterling more, that you, consistent with sound principles of political eco nomy, cannot explain the bearing and operation of your intended measures, and you will pardon me still farther, Sir, when I say, that before you propose more alterations in our Navigation Laws, you should account to the Shipping and. Landed Interests for the enormous number of tons of British shipping and people deprived of profit able employment through the Fast American Treaties and alterations of the timber duties, yet these were done under the specious plea of serving the British Shipping Interest; these two Acts alone deprive no less than 150,000 tons of British Shipping, and half a million of people, of profitable employment, the na tion of revenue, wealth, and power in the like ratio, and which increase the charge on the landed interest, through the Poors'-rates, of not less than one million Sterling per annum. You seem to be much alarmed through fear of foreigners shutting their ports against us ; now what would be the consequence of such shutting? my answer is, that we should then supply our selves, and from our Colonies, with 9-10ths , of all we now take from foreigners, and which measure would have a tendency to banish from our shores Whiteboyism, Pauperism,Criminal Justice, trans portation of convicts, &c., the whole cost of which is now amounting to about ten million sterling per annum ; while it would also tend to give all our people and shipping profitable employment, and increase our revenue, wealth, and power. It is a pity you cannot bring yourself to understand this simple fact, that an Irish Whiteboy, or an English Pauper, in cultivating and exchanging his bale of hemp, flax, cotton or tobacco, would not only take an equal quantity of our Manufac tures, but would employ double the quantity of British Shipping, Tradesmen, &c. that Foreigners supplying us with the same articles now do.— When did we prosper most?—Answer, When Buonaparte's Continental System, and America's Non-intercourse Acts, were in their strictest ope ration against us ; this ought to cure you of your alarm, and ought to caution you how you again depend on those foreign supplies, as you did last war, with which we could supply ourselves. How are we to pay our national debt and ex penditure, and supportour Navy, without protec tion to our industry and shipping; neither Fo reign Exchequers nor Foreign Navies will pay our debts or fight our battles ; now, if you con sider your measures as founded on the principle of the profitable employment of our people con stituting the wealth and prosperity of the Empire, you appear to me not only to be ignorant of the principles of Commerce, but also of the probable effects of your own measures, as well ^as of the mighty resources of the British Empire. I also enter my protest against any one pre siding over the destinies of our commerce who does not found his measures on these fundamen tal principles, viz. that-British and Colonial pro ducts, exchanged for tack other, give double the profitable employment to our people than if they had been exchanged for the like foreign pro ducts. That we cannot beneficially carry com merce in exports beyond our ability to consume their return payments, and that such ability de pends on the profitable employment of our peo ple ; nor ought he to preside over our commerce who does not know that the cost of our manu factures at home has little or nothing to do with their sale in Foreign Markets, depending on our ability to consume their return payments.— If this principle were acted on, I ask who would now be Vice President of the Board of Trade ? I remain, Your very obedient humble Servant, JOSEPH PINSENT, a true Pittite. N.B. Perhaps you do not know, Sir, although it is the fact ; that our present commercial prac tice is founded on principles of self-destruction; and further, that capital continuing to be em ployed in an Interest is no criterion of the pros perity of that Interest, as it may proceed from other Interests being - equally unproductive, or from want of opportunity to transfer it. Before the increase of our Shipping and Revenue should be the theme of any one's boast, he should con sider that our population is now about 1-6th more than in 1815, while from the same taxation, our Revenue, as well as the tonnage of our Shipping, are rather less than in 1815 ; conse quently they are this year 1-6th short of a sound complement and production. When any one re commends free trade to this country, he should couple with it the profitable employment of our people, as well as the payment of our na tional debt and expenditure, and what is neces sary to the support of a Naval preponderance, with neither of which can England dispense. I further contend, that while we retain our pre sent Colonies and population unemployed, that shutting the Foreign Ports of the World against our Commerce, (were we to protect our industry by a duly protecting system) it would have a tendency in an equal ratio to increase our aggre gate industry, revenue, wealth and power. Add to which, the extension of our foreign commerce depends on our ability to consume the return payments of our exports, and not on what fo reigners are willing to buy from us. J. P. PUPIL.

To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament assembled. The Humble Petition of the Undersigned SHIP. OWNERS and Others of SOUTH SHIELDS in. terested in British Shipping ; SIIEWETH—That the general depression on the Shipping of the Country renders your Petitioners extremely anxious on the measures which are before your Honourable House, and which so materially bear upon the Shipping Interests of the Country. That while your Petitioners have recently had under their consideration the Bills pending before your Honourable House for altering the ancient Navigation Laws, their attention is again drawn to the consideration of other Bills which are brought before your Honourable House for an extension of the Warehousing System for cargoes brought into this Country in foreign bottoms, and likewise for an alteration of the ancient Navigation and Colonial Policy (which have been so long and so successfully pursued between Great Britain and the West India Islands), by which pending Bills foreign shipping are now to be allowed a direct intercourse with the British Colonies in the West Indies, and likewise a proposed extension for British Shipping to trade from the Colonies to Europe. That your Petitioners are under the necessity of appealing to your Honourable Houge against such sweeping concessions which tend to the entire abrogation of the old system of Colo- ! nial Laws, thereby depriving the British . Ship-owner of that part of the Colonial Trade which Ire has hitherto, under the wise and provident Legislation of our ancestors, enjoyed. H the pending Bills pass they will open the Colonial carrying trade to American shipping, at a juncture when the British shipping and seamen are unable to enter into competition with foreign shipping, from the pressure of taxation and other ex pences to which the exigencies of the State and the restriction they are under of purchasing every kind of stores in England subjects them to, even on many of the articles requisite for re fitment in a foreign port, which have been rendered necessary by misfortune. That should Cite proposed Bills pass into Law, the number of British ships which are at present engaged in the West India Trade must of necessity be greatly diminished ; and considering the effect of the proposed American Intercourse Bill in conjunction with the other relaxations and abrogations of the Navigation Laws, which are so well calculated to suit the American and other foreign shipping, that your Petitioners .are firmly of opinion that they will become the carriers of the world in preference to the British ships and British seamen.— And your Petitioners are fully sensible of the fraudulent prac tices such concessions are calculated to introduce in smuggling, to and from the Colonies, and the facility with which foreigners provide themselves with simulated papers of the origin of goods, and likewise the destination of ships and cargoes to and from any part of the world, as best suit their views, and that the pending Bills are calculated to lead to an ncrease of such practices, should they receive the sanction of the Legislature. That the wisdom of the Legislature of this country has for centuries given encouragement to British ships anti seamen, and thereby provided for the protection of the country, and se cured the freight and transmission of goods from various parts of the world, and more particularly from our own colonies in Britith ships manned with native seamen, and under these wise enactments the maritime strength of the country was always rearing in every clime a hardy race of seamen, able and willing for th service and protection of the 'State. How they have perform e d th a t service the naval history of the country suffi ciently confirms, in relating the bloody wars with the Dutch for the maritime ascendancy, and the late tremendous struggle with all the combined powers of Europe, in which the professed ob ject was to wrest this ascendancy out of our hands, and thereby destroy the great bulwark of our safety and our wealth, which the navigation principles adopted and consolidated into the statute of the 12th of Charles the Second have been the means of establishing. The value and importance of those principles has.- been so self-evident, that your Petitioners never contem plated that any change would be suggested more than to sim plify the law by repealing those statutes which had become ob solete ; they trusted that the effects of those laws had satisfied every Englishman of their utility, and convinced them that they were the foundation on which rested our protection—the source of our greatness—the surest preservation of our power— and the best bulwark of the British empire. That your Petitioners are totally at a loss to account for the strange revolutionary principles in the commercial intercourse of the country contained in the Bills which are pending before your Honourable House, which will effect a radii al change in oar navigation and colonial policy, and the old laws which have been acknowledged as being deserving of particular veneration for their merits and wisdom. 'Your Petitioners find in the Rending bills principles diametrically opposite, and your Peti tioners cannot disguise their sentiments, but candidly state that there appears a deliberate intention to depart from the old prin ciple, and to adopt in lieu an untried theory against both pro fessional opinion and that of practical results; the old system has brought us to the high pre-eminence in which Great Britain now stands. It is true the more modern economistsdeny that any re strictions arc necessary, even to employing native shipping, if the foreign shipping can be procured on lower terms. Your Hon. House must be fully aware that the rise and progress of this nation to greatness is to be dated from the provident determina tion to carry our commerce on with native ships ; the enact ment of those laws made our commerce and marine to grow up together ; and this principle of wholesome restraint has caused them to rise and to flourish, which they have done alternately, as cause and effect, accelerating each other's progress. Our an cestors watched this rise and progress with the greatest care and attention, ever jealous and forward to check any precipi tate, wanton, or apparently systematic infringement of their favourite system. That your Petitioners, in expressing these sentiments, are only following the opinions that have been advocated by some of the wisest men the country has produced, such as Lords Clarendon, Bacon, Loughborough, Sheffield, Liverpool, Sir Walter Raleigh, Child, Temple, and others too numerous to detail, and beg to submit to your Honourable House, that the high pitch of wealth and power the country has obtained since the enactment of those laws, has caused them to be considered as objects of attachment and veneration by every British sub ject ; and they humbly solicit that the wisdom of your Honour able House will deliberately weigh and consider the great benefit derived from them, and not suffer a system, with no other foundation than a speculative theory, to preponderate against so much positive good. That your Petitioners beg leave to state to your Honourable House, that the Ship-Owners are labouring under the greatest depression ; that they arc fast sinking their capitals; tht their ships yield them no return adequate to pay the expences ; that any more foreign competition must accelerate their ruin; that they are no more able to compete with foreigners in the,sailing expences of their ships, than the agricultural interests are able to compete with them in growing corn, or any otherproduction of the land.---Your Honourable House most be sensible of the danger of tampering with such an important system for the purposes of a small additional (if any) speculative commerce and increase of foreign shipping, which must force the British to decline in the same proportion ; the British Ship-Owner will cease to embark his capital in a pursuit that must prove ruinous to him, the effect of which must be the reduction of the num. ber of British ships and British seamen : thus will the coun try lose her natural defence; and the freight on the imports and exports thus will be lost—that which we had been taught to venerate as the palladium of British security.—We there fore trust that your Honourable House will retain these laws as the source of our greatness, the surest preservation of our power, and the best bulwark of the empire. Your Petitioners, therefore, humbly pray, that no.altera tion may be made in the Colonial Carrying Trade, as now established by law, detrimental to British Shipping. South Shields, May, 11322. .

The Earl of BLESINTON postponed the Irish Deeds Re gistry Act to the 3d of Juue. IRISH POOR. On the motion'of: the Earl of LIVERP0011; the-Irish Err - ployment of the Poor. Bill was rend a first time. The Order of the Day for taking.the Orders •of the House into consideration having been read, The Marquis .of LANSDOWNE said, that it would- be quite unnecessary for him to justify the proposal whiehlie.was going to make. Unwilling-as he was to allow the suspenSion of the standing Orders of the House to grow a general prantice, on ordinary occasions, he had no doubt that after all thattheir Lordships had heard respecting the state of Ireland, they. would think with him, that this was one in which such a course ought to be adopted in justice to that country. They would be the more confirmed in that opinion, when they reflected that at the opening of the Sew.ion, having suspended those standing.. or ders for the purpose of passing a measure of rig;our.when a measure of mercy and protection to Ireland was proposed, they ought to display an equal degree of activity. "He should therefore move that their Lordships' Standing Orders he sus pended this day, to allow the present Bill to pass through all its stages. Lord KING was persuaded that there would be but one opi nion with respect to this motion. As to the measure itself, he lamented that it was not of a more comprehensive nature. It granted fifty thousand pounds for the employment and relief of the Poor in Ireland, where it appeared that .about one million of people were in a state of starvation. It would be too much to say that no part of that money would be inter cepted in its application in the shape of jobs, but even seppos ing that to be the case, the relief would only amount to one shilling a head. He knew that a learned individual in another place bad taken great offence at what had been said respecting the rapacity of the landlords of Ireland, but if the same had been said respecting the rapacity of the Church and Govern ment in Ireland, it would have been but just. The Earl of LIMERICK vindicated the character of Irif * th landlords, and lamented that the Noble Lord should have used such language with respect to the present measure, as seemed to be throwing down the gauntlet for no other purpose than that of exasperating. There were bad landlords in Ireland as in other countries, but to cast on Irish landlords in general a charge of rapacity and plunder, was most unbecoming and un founded. As to the asserted propensity of the Irish to jobs, lie had no doubt that if Government money were to be scattered over English counties, that propensity would reveal itself in England as well as in Ireland. lie trusted that such irritating topics would be avoided, as nothing would more effectually conciliate the people of Ireland than the act of justice and pro tection now doing. He regretted he had detained their. Lord-. ships so long, but he should have thought himself a degraded man if he had not stood up to vindicate the character of the landlords of Ireland. Lord KING did not mean to use any exasperatinglanguage. He had only said that the relief now proposed was not suffici ent, and that he wished more should be done. The conduct of Government in this instance reminded him of that of the Mem bers of the Society for bettering the condition of the'Poor, who, after voting every heavy tax that passed upon the pour, came with their half-penny roll to their relief. Government had loaded the people of Ireland with oppressive taxes, and now came to relieve the oppression which they occasioned with•the: mighty boon of 50,0001. The - Duke of ATHOL was very sorry that his Noble Friend should have used what he could not help considering to be ex asperating language. He said that little was to be done, but that little was as much as could be done under existing circurn. stances. At a time when every Peer in that House, and every man in the kingdom, wished to conciliate the people of Ireland, he had hoped that such language would not have been used. Lord KING was glad to find that the Noble Duke was so well disposed to conciliate the people of Ireland, as an oppor tunity of doing it with most effect would shortly offer itself, when the Catholic question would be before the House. The Duke of ATHOL should take what opportunity he pleased for speaking his sentiments in that House, and neither his Noble Friend nor any other person should ever dictate to him on what points he should address their Lordships, or what opinion he should express. The Earl of BLESINTON also vindicated the character of Irish landlords. He disagreed with the Noble Baron next him (Lord King) in all that had , fallen from him, except what regarded the smallness of the sum proposed to be granted. He understood that an Extent in Aid had been issued against one of the Irish counties for not having repaid a former loan, and. thought that the present was a most improper time for issuing such a process. The Earl of LIVERPOOL considered the measure now before the House advisable under present circumstances, hut standing on a principle of a very ambiguous nature. If am thing had been advantageous to England, it was that almost ail its improvements had been made by the exertions of indi viduals, and not by the capital of Government. He be lieved that such a course afforded the best chance of furthering improvements in any country, and of money being employed honestly and effectually, as individuals would of course take care of their own, whilst that granted by Government was liable to be abused. Jobs would exist in all countries, in England as any where else. As to the extent of the measure. he would have no difficulty in going farther, if he saw his way to any certain benefit. But as the principle was doubtful, it was proper that Parliament should proceed ca.utiously. If it appeared that, under the arrangement proposed by the present Bill, practicable efforts were likely to result, from which great benefit might be hoped, he would have no objection ip increase the sum. This was no party measure. Gentlemen of all ~arties had been consulted by his Majesty's, Government on the subject; and nothing would more tend to the s general ad vantage, than for individuals to lay aside all party feelings, and to assist on the one hand in carrying the measure into exe cution, and on the other in preventing abuses in its applica tion. The Marquis of DOWNSHIRE expressed his satisfaction at finding that the attention of his Majesty's Government and of the Legislature had been honestly directed to the sieuation, of Ireland. - He considered the present measure, however, as only temporary ; and trusted that Government, aside all party feeling, as the Noble Earl had recommended, would look deeper into the state of Ireland, and into the causes of its distress and disaffection. The first cause he believed to be the tythe system, and that if the Noble Marquis at the head of.the Irish Government would institute an inquiry, the end of -k,• was persuaded, would be the revision, of that system, which was most unfit for that country.. He was unfortuhately a great proprietor of tythes, and he should be happy to make any 5..- crifice to facilitate• a full inquiry, and a new regulation or system.. With respect to taxatioo, he had presented•two Peti. twos on the subject to the House ; he should be glad to kzioa. whether the Noble Earl opposite had taken it into consideratioe, and whether, as it was reported in Ireland, it. was intended that some alteration should take place in the taxes which af. fected that country. The Earl of LIVERPOOL was understood to reply, .that this depended on other measures to be brought before Parhie.... ment, and that if they were approved of by the other House, they would yield relief, as they would be attended with some alteration. The Earl of DARNLEY said, that it was the want of em ployment which agiravated all the evils of Ireland, and produced insurrection more than the system of tythes. He wished that what was now -done had been done sooner, and thought that it would haie been more gracious to vote as inueh for the suffering people of Ireland as Parliament had' dares for the Russians, the Spaniards, and the Portuguese ? than only one half the mini- as was now proposed. With re spect to Landlords. inlreland, he knew that prejudices ex.
