WOOLLEN NIA;‘I FACTUIt ES. Lord TEMP,E,E, rose, pursuant to notice, and moved. for the appointment of a Committe'p to con-- Mder of the 'state of the Woollen lganufataures of 'Enland. • Lord HENRY PETTY . took occasion to remar k on thetnecessity Which existedfor such a Committee a that propesed.—For three years the Suspension Law had been ena6ked without in Any degree tend inv to remove pi- abate the .evil complained of. A Suspension Law struck him to be generally excep,' tionable ; but when applied to evils which it held out no prospect of curing, it : vas peculiarly uncon - 7 ttitutional and' mischievous :- evils'of such a return as thest, wi4h the proposed cOmmittee was to ',..4:re4 its inquiry, .ought not to be temporized with. They should be met boldly ; and when the Coin:- mittee should briit up its Rep'ort, he 'trugted that Hotta* determine . to face it with firmness, resolve to put au end to an evil whichhad so ionn kept 'the Coiin-try i i a'.state of irritation--lhe interest of the . ciiiployc.irs, the employed, and the :COUntry.' .13C 7 aring, thicconsideration constantly in, rolud, he had no doubt the Committee Would—he topeil they would— , make such ,a Report as would finable the,l - fouse'to,talte a full view of the question, and 'come to a satisfliaory decision. Mr.,4ASCAILES stated; the evil alluded to by. the' Noble Ecrd, and which it Taus th'e objea of the •proposed to correct;.. did not originate in the S,u*osiOn :Low ;-. : but that, on the'Contrary, this was rendered necessary by the existence, and • .:alculated' to 'rf..str;iin the operation of - this evil. The fad Wa.s, that'a:number'Statutes existed which Were inapplicable to the preserit state of the Woollen Ajanuti'e_:,tilres; Yet upon those .'obSolete Statutes-several prosecutions had . been commenced ; and tn guartkig,anst2the efie'6l.s of such proseentions the Suspet4ion Law was introduced: Mich was the objet of this law, ,and it had answered the ei l id in :View.

Mr. dilderina.n PRINSEP : rose, pu-suant to no tice, to move. for the produdion of - a DoCument of the highest national importance,. in his estimatien, with a view to put Government and the ,1--10u 7 4 in possession of a most material fitei with reard to the, ,Commerce of „tedia. To enable His 111tfestyls nisters to take prospealve meaSures.uponthe.sitbka of India, it appeared to . him essentially ,necessary Matti: that they should be ade... acquairited with the.pro portion oldie Coirimeree of that Territory'of which neutrals had contrived to possess theinselves. That. proportion struck his mind, and' he believed, When known, it would equally strike that of any thinking ,man in the Country to . be most- extraordinary and Unfair, when compared to that enjoyed by the Sub jeds of 'this' Country corrimoiily . . denominated Pri vate Traders, .nay, even by. the India Company themselves. ITpen considering this comparison it would .be seen 'what return' was made to Great Brie tam for ttie price of blood and treastn'e originally paid for the purchase of our Indian Territdryfor the expence i,ilcurred ih •maintainingit—and for the anxiety generally- existing withrespea to its con berns. The faa was, the' British share of 'lndian Commerce was a very . inadequate recompence for ,the quantity,of populatien. and wealth which Great Biitain was annually in the habit of expending .I for the support of our Dominions in India.' Fo reigners enjoyed -a share of this trade, Which, corn 'pared to that allowed to our own Private• Traders, lore a proportion of not less than three to one, and Was, , in truth, even beyond that possessed- by the India • COmpany themselves. By this statement he would not be utidersteod.as . wishing to . e*cite any corn . - plaints on the part of the Private Trade7s; . and still farther was it from his view to attach any blame to the India Cot»pany for the toleration -of Neutral . Commerce. „ The. faUlt-was net their's—for several of the Neutral Powers had possessions in India be 'fore we ourselves . obtained any footing - in that. guar ;ter. • By our Treatp;ome of them enjoyed the right .of ; traffic with our Territery—and some pOssessed Territories of their, own. Nathing. was there oppo site to his wish than the exclusion of Neutral Traders' from India, and those NOI i I were in amity with Great Britain could not be'excluded - without A breach of Treaty. The. attempt;-indeed . ,, at such exclusi i on, Would be highly .impolitic- at any time; but particularly so at present.. For, if the capital laid out in India by Foreign Traders were with; drawn our Indian Manufacturer' would be cornpa ratively uneMployed, becanse there would be no ., sufficient market for their produce, and, of coarse, our revenue must. suffer. Foreign capitaly-he Con ceived, .to be the principal support oftheAndia COmpany's resources; But whence' came the ,capi tal.disposed of in India by the American and other Traders, was another question ?—Whether this ca=. pital, which_ consisted principally of ..specie, did not, in a great degree, find itg way from this, .Ceuntry through circuitous ch!innels, - .M . consequence of the limittedallewanCe granted, to a rather comparative discountenance of our own Private Traders, mi g ht become .a .matter for consideration. How far the conduct of the India Comi any towards those who were engaged in the private trade was fair or po i litic, might also be. inquired into. 'BUt - at pre sent hi s object sinifilywas that the Document he referred to should be laid before the House, and it would be for the House itself, or for Ministers i to consider whether ; any proceeding should . hereafter be founded upon it. 'The' document itself was of the utmost conse quence, even as an article of information, to which it was essentially material that - Gentlemen should turn their minds. -A. communication which he had hitely'received from a Gentleman acquainted with the State of Indian Commerce foreibly . i m p resse d his mind with the propriety of calling thp attention 'of Parliament and the - Country to this quetion.— Accord Lag Lb' this Gen tlemaa'S statement,, ; hick,Qf course was not officiA, but who had ''receittly at -rived from India,; . and who was not.hiniSell mercial -coati; 'the proportion which the neutr a l ride bore to - ours was eetialli matter of astonishment and alarm.--It'appeared that in the Harbour oicalcutta" alone,' there work.. in the year isue-1, rib less than 26 Atherican Vessels ; in 11W-73, 32. date . ; hi a 3 74, 27 - ditto.; 411(1 in the last year ~ e ,e ; toge ther with 1 Portuguese, '2 ,Danish, and I Swedish. This was, evideetly 'a Most• inordipiite proliortion of the rued Trade. BUt the value of this CommerCe ‘might be estithated - from this circumstance, that in the year 1804, the sum paid-by neutrals liar only six, articles Of commerce - , at Calcutta alone, amounted to no less.than 'three millions. The ,bultion imported into Bengal hy'those neutrals, exclusive.Of that laid, `Otitly'the IndiaCoMpany, exceeded 19 millions in dollars, s and the importations of last year alone -amotintea to 5,300,000. The importance - of laying; such a document in an official shape, Must be ob vious to every commercial and political - man. He was induced to bring-it forward solely from public and_not at alLl,vitha view, to urge the pri vate traders to pre ss their complaints at prese"nt.-- 7 . -- . Their, best coarse would ,be, in his judginent,. to leave their case entirely to the consideration ofHis Majtsty's Ministers;, ihlthe-hope, which no .dbubt was well'founded, that as scion as 'leisure permitted, they would attend to that important:question.• At the sane attic he ,filt that the document fir. which he proposed to Inove - would furnish the .grovdds in fat it of the private traders, and of cciume in favour of the best interests of the Country. After - someretliarks;on the facility with which • the knowledge Could he furnished which 4,was, the ob jeEt of his motion to obtain ; as Lists Of "the arrivals and-departureS'of hippitig'were , publishetfVonthly id'lnclia, and as theiluties were collected ad vale;ern, the Hon Gentleman 'concluded with,,,;moving the PrOdudion= of a Return, of the ISrimber -of Shills or Vessels Which epterca , warqs:_oz .

The Hen . ...Gentletnan (Mr. Francis) had ask e d, where the bullion imported into Indin had been disposed of? lie could tell him that it had circulatid throughout our vast Empire ;.• for, although the CO-. vernment Paper was the circul'ating medium in I slid principal towns, specie .was the medium for. paying the nianufathirets, labourers, and' others, univer-, sally throughout the Country, Much of this no doubt; found its way beyond the limits of our territOry. the cargoes referlied•to were sold, he could not pretend to say; but lie rather thought -the greater p - art were . sold_ by 'the Arne iiedps, o • were . kuowd to supply our Western.
