To the Eironourable the Commons of the United Eingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, hi Parliament assembled. Tbt Petition cf the CIIAMDZP, Gf COILICEII.CE of the City of 5T...1 - 01rii, NEW BRUNSWICKs kft72673LY Suzwinsear,—That your Petitioners observe, with surprise and concert, that the Legislature of Grenada, in con cert with other Eslands in the West Indies, have preferred Petitions to ycur Honourable House, praying that the Ameri cans may be allowed a free trade, in their own vessels to his Majesty's Sugar Colonies; as- fiii as regards the - inter course with the North American Colonies, have advanced rea sons for such indulgence, which cannot be supported by a sha dow of proof. The Legislature of Grenada, under the Erst head of corn plaints, state, as causes of their present di tress, that in conse quence of the interruption of their intercourse with the United States, they are prevented frem receiving the products of those States at low prices as formerly, and paying for them rum and molasses in barter c that the markets for their staple COMM d.tie3 in all places to which they have access are exceodMgly depressed; that the Wen India Islands Ere dependent ore the United States for a great part of their supplies, particular ly for dry provisions, and all sorts of lumber; that when American vessels were allowed to trade to those Islands, such articles were obtainod at one-half of the present pricea ; and et the same time a quarter rnore was obtained for rum and molasses, given to them in payment; they state that the pay ment for American products through the free pens must be made in cash or bills, as the North Arnerican Colonies do not require more than 254 , 00 puncheons of ram annually, which is only the quantity made in two Islands ; that the trade with theseColoniea is nearly at an end, as but few of their vessels new trade to the West Indies, by reason of which a constant supply of their productions, and the produce of the United States, cannot be depended on ; and they have gone so far as to state, that as American vessels now carry their supplies part of the voyage (meaning to the free ports), it would make but little differenze if they were aUowed to go into all the ports in the ►Best Indies at once- Your Petitioners beg leave reapectfdlly to state in answer to the complaints urged by the Legislature of Grenada, and echoed by other Islands, that, since the establishment of free ports in the North American Colonies, the Weit India islands have been constantly and well supplied through these parts with every article of the produce of the United States, as well as with fish, lumber, &c. the produce of the North American Colonies, on the lowest terms ; and it has vary often happened that *nasals . arriving in the West Indies front the free ports with such produce have been compelled to leave their cargoes in the hands of agents, not being able to effect sales, even at great sa crifices, and it has generally been the case, that from the little demand for their cargoes at the different Islands, the Planters or Merchants have had it in their power to dictate their own terms and mode of payment, and consea,uently they have re ceived their supplies at very low prices, and have bartered rum and molasses - for such supplies at advanced rates, much higher than they could obtain if the Americans were allowed to carry their supplies in their own bottoms ; hence.it is inccntcstibly proved by the experience of four years, that a direct intercourse with the United States is by no means essential, even to the particular interests of the Sugar Colonies. It is true that the North American Colonies do not afford a market for or consume all the r.:rn end molasses received in the We.st Indies in exchange for American productions, yet the vessels of these Colonies carry these and other articles to certain Foreign Islands, from whence they are reshipped to the United States in their own vessels, and in such quantities that their markets are overstocked, and the prices so much reduced, that great losses are sustained in the North American Colonies in disposing of the West India Produce, which they are- compelled to receive for the supplies which they send to West India Islands ; whence it appears that the depreslion of the markets complained of by the !Vest India Planters cannot be attributed to the. exclusion of American vessels from the West Indies., but is the consequence of the low - price of Grain in the United states, and the policy of the American Government in giving every encouragement to their own distilleries, together wiin their increasing endeavours to become Independent of Great Britain and her Colonies, Your Petitioners beg leave to remind the Honourable House of Commons, that the Legislature of Grenada acknowledged that the Islands were well supplied with every necessary article from the United States, until the Ameri,ain Government, in 1620, interdicted the importation of West India Produce through the Fret Forts ; how then can they urge a free trade with Americans, since It is a fact which cannot be controverted, that the Produce or the 11 - rated States has been much lower in the West India Islands since that time than at any mane: period ? It has also beer. urged in behalf cf the West India Planters, that as under the present .272te11l American vessels carry their supplies part of the voyage (meaning to the free ports), it would make but little difference if they were allowed free access to all the ports in the West ladies at once ; the absurdity of such reasoning,. is so manifest to all who are acqi.....minted with the sources of the commercial prosperity of Great britain, that little need be said on the subject —A comparison has also been drawn between the Sugar Colo ales and the North American Provinces, very unfavourable to the latter ; without taking any thing from the importance of the Sugar Ccicnies, your Pe titioners beg leave respectfully to state to the HoncurableHouse of Commons, .that the North American Provinces are of the utmost importance to the West Indies, as part of theireupplies cannot be nal fie:in any other source, and circuniztancEs may again arise which would make them necessary to their exist ence r and the value of these Provinces to the Parent State will, we trust, be justly appreciated, when, by official returns, it appears that upwards of thirteen hundred !It'll of ships arrive In their ports annually from Great Britain and Ireland, and although they do not contribute to largely . to the revenue as the Sugar Colonies, yet, indicectly, they bear a considerable share in zupportiag the maritime greatness of the British Empire. Your Petitioners beg leave farther to elate that, recently much both of the careital and industry of this Province has been employed in the manufacturing of Boards, (by the erec tion of water and eteatii saw-mills) for the consumption of which, as well as for supporting the carrying trade of their own vessels, they look to the West India markets ram, Your Petitioners therefore, without adverting to the blow that would be given to the Stripping Interests of the Empire, beg leave respectfully to state, that the consequences of throw ing open the Ports or the West Indies to American vessels would be ruinous, to his Majesty's North American ProVracees, without giving the eapeeted relief to the West India Planters ; such a measure would, at this trine., be doubly unfortunate, as the Americans begin to feel the impoliev of their restrictive system, and are now contemplating a change of measures. Your Petitioners, relying on the truth of the allegations herein set forth, most reepectfully pray, that the Hon. House of Com mons will take the prenuces into consideration, and continue such protection to the North American Provinces as they may In their wisdom., deem proper. Ar.d.your Petitioners, as in dirty bounet . ,..will ever pray, (Signed) 7, W tiEELEP., Deputy Chairman of the Chamfer of Corameret. ;01.21, New Brunswick, lea 7,13 W. CONVERSION OF THE JEWS.

The Earl of DARNLEY wished. to call the attention of the Noble Earl to an impression which generally prevailed anion gat farmers, that a great part of the corn imported under the nomination of Irish corn, v.-as not really from Ereland, but wits foreign corn fraudulently entered. At a :hne when roes aures were preparing to relieve their distresses, every means should he used: to e_ive them satiefaction. The Earl of LIVERPOOL stated in reply, that all portatiOn of foreign corn undo:. the denor""• , tion of E:7157., wee absolutely impossible. He was perfectly satisfied that it was impossible, and in fact the productive state of Ireland, and particularly of the western parts, was quite suacicrt to ac count for the great it of corn which had taken place from that country. From what he knew himself, he wascer•- tain that the importation of grain acm Ireland would go on increaning- INSURRECTION ACT. Lord ►ING reminded the Noble Bari that when the .0. 1! , for Suspending the Habeas Corpus, and renewing the Insdr rection Act in Ireland, had been brought in, a clause had been introduced, limiting their duration to the end of the present Session. He wished to know whether the Noble Earl thought any further renewal of those Bills necessary, and far what period ; and trusted that if they were to be re newed, no time would be lest in bringing the subject bcfry:e Parliament. The Earl of LIVERPOOL replied, that it was not the in tention of his Majesty's Ministers to pxr.-ose the renewal of the Bill for Suspending the Habeas Corpus in Ireland but that a measure would shortly be introduced in the other H:.112 to renew the Irish Insurrection Act, which otherwise would expire next August.

DISTRESS IN IRELAND The Earl of DARN LEY had reduced the . queetiona which he had lately put to the Noble Earl opposite into the ehispe cf a motion, winch he should lead at once, in order to put the House in possession of his object It was his intention to move for the date of the fleet authentic communication made to the Irish Government on the subject of the epprehended dis tress in the county of Clare, and for the date of the first mea sure taken by ilia Alkeaty's Government to relieve that dietrees. He had seen, by the votes of the other House, that on the If th of May, yesterday, Mr. Secretaly Oculbourn had obtained leave to being in a Bill to relieve the aistuAses of the Inich ' peasantry : Now when Faeliament, which ought to ha - :e been assembled earlier, had at last been called in February, and, in eon:levee-nee of an insurrection cccaaioned by distress having broken out in Ireland, it was though: proper to introduce enter. CiVe measures, they had been passed with a degree of rapidity which had been justly termed indecent haste." But though his Majesty's Ministers must have long since been poeeessed of correct information respecting the state of Ireland and the failure of the potatce crop, it did not appear that before the any which ha had mentioned, the lEth of May, any one step had been takers to remedy the distress existing in that ecuntry. Every disposition had been shewn on his side of the House to give every possible credit to toe Irish Government, arid even to treat it, he would Nay, with an exerts of candour ; but, though every any measures of relief had been expected, nothing had yet been done. He trusted the time would speedily come when then- Lordships would think it these duty to dise-aes that vital duestion, the situation of Ireland, in all its bearings. The Noble Lend then made his motion, but stated that he would riot Frets it, if the Noble Earl eippozlte should be able to give him a r.a tizfactory answer, The Earl of Livri-f.?ooL could positively say, that the Noble Marquis at the head of the Irish Government had not been many days resident in Dublin, when he had thought it necessary to institute an inquiry into the etate of the harvest in every part of Ireland. This had not been done in consequence of any anticipation of a scarcity, but in order that the Cc vernment should be in possession of the red state cf the co-an try. The result had been a Report, declaring, that with re spect to the whole produce of the country, there was no danger of a scarcity ; that even though the pct.-.the crop had partially failed, what had been lost in quantity had teen made up in quality ; and that the price in the valious . dia=lats afFeedeo ho roundation to fear Lett - ea. The Noble Earl then re-nrged his former arguments respecting the impolicy cf interfering with the subsistence of the people. in no pant of the late . contest had his Majesty's Government thought themselves justified in re commending such an interference in this country. The measure adopted in 1801, granting henntlee on the importation of corn, had turned out to be most impeovident, as not one quarter cf corn had been brought into the country more than would otheew ise have come, arid. the only effect had been to raise the price of the article. lo the case of the distreet experienced in l - 7,ctitlear.d, the line taken had beers to inf&m the proprietors of laind in feat country, that if they would agree to nay any rate which they might think presser, and then wished (or an advance, Govern ment would undertake to make that advance, but could not otherwiae, as England lead tier own pc-or to maintain.. Any inteeference en the peat of the Government would derange the whale system of :hod provided for the - people : and would tend to check all individual eeteetion and charity. It had been al -1 certair.ed that even in the execution of the measures adopted tee relieve the diatreee experienced in Ireland en 1510 and 1817, the groreezt :lures had prevailed. Ile war satief.ed that even these who held the doctrine that the Foe: Laws were a cneae, would con rider them a blessing rather than a regular fide:pc ' aition of the Government an the et - oh:deter:cc cf the people 'for they lay the burthen where it ought to lie. Whatever et iection there might be to the spurn, the principle was round. iii 2cotland, where there was a velvintaany eereement, not a cempuleery rate, the former was found mere effectual tlaan the latter. Having the example cf 1816 ond 1817 before them, it had been the duty cf the laish ,Government keep an he : tiae.eye, and to send agents to ascertain the true state of the country ; for the moment that they would have become par- . chasers in the market. the price would have risen, and all int;ei ' vid-aal exertiena and charities would have been checked, They knew that there wal an abundance of cats in those parts of the country where distress now prevailed, and that illicit distil baton was carried on to an immense extent, and that COIL was i actually exported at that time out of the county of Clete. These circumstances imposed upon the Goverment the duty of not hastily interfering. It was not till Aped 'that circ-am : StatICES induced the Lord Lieutenant to think that the time was come to provide against the danger of not having a potatoe ; crop for the ensuing year- The beet information had been procured respecting tne time necessary to plunt and insure eneh a crop, and from all he had heard he was convinced that the measure then adopted heed been taken in fall time to attain that object. Ali teat it was possible to be done, had been seen, and it was still a matter of doubt with him whethea it PRICE. SEV EV PENCt. might not ultimately do as much harm as good. With reepeae to the subscription now going on, to the great credit of gold ecuntry, it had received every kind of encouragement from his lf.:ljettty'.a GOVeltlilelt, as it went on a sounder -principle. than .any authoritative interference.. The charity of Englarl4 was so well known that it had been thought. advantageada c , both in a moral and political point of -rie'w, to the intercoursae . end cot/ler:ion between the two countries, that the people a. Ireland should see with what redoor their English- brethren eeme forwerd to the relief of tarnished Irishmen. Ef.oreper, enanetit benelt would be derived from such a course than firuQuo . anymore direct interference on the part of his Injesty j i verrnnent. The natiirieeof LA.NSIIOI4 , 7NE agreed in the prinkipies laid down by :the - ilobie eierk, and felt Inueh satisfaction at . learning at iast that the Irish flovernment had instituted an inquiry into the distresses* of the people as early as the com. mencementof January, .and that in fenril riaeasur , s had been taken to_ relieve -those- distr.:sees. features of the cash, however, were , very different front those of a general scarcity. If the Irish Government,etherefore, had hzeugr.t into market, not what was scarce, but what ••w= abundant, the alarm and increased prices which the Noble Earl. seemed to apprehend. ' would not have been created. As _tee the failur.e in. the pat , ietce crop, it had been, according to some, to the pttett • fof One-half; and, according to: others,-to that of one-chilli,. • of its• usual produce.. Filled: bean. sufficient, however, 'to_ deprive the people of food, and to render the disteess irre, • mediable, except by stale extraordinary aid.on the part of tiee . Go - iernir.ent, he a - Freed, however, witleethe Noble Earl, that that aid should enly be given in addition to that of irelivi - dual charity, end to the extent of making that which it was not in the power eel individual char . r.y to attain. He had seen with pleasure by the votes of the other House, that biz rei't .?esty's Gr.:vex - Jerrie:at were disposed to int er f ere i n t h e mo d e most bene:Ecial is pcitt of effect, and most jestiflable in point cf principle, by giving assistance with the condition that ware. should be perfcrrned. Ali rants were suspended in the de:- tressed parts cf Ireland, and the resident laxidlerds were con oequently cc:nape:led to suspend their work; so that the pea santry were rot only unable to ray their rems, but to obte e ri that employment whi c h cou ld afford them the means of sub , eisterice and relief. The proposition Made in the other House was therefore most judicious. lie hoped that it would be enter.. tamed with due favour by their .I.e.z..t.s'e.ips, and that when it should come before them, as they had suspended their.Staeh... ' log 0raf...75 a pass measures of coercion, so they would also suspend teose Standing Orders to pass without.delay a mea sure teneing to relieve the distdistress of a starving populatioe.
