diate measure of alleviation, which would have been effica-
cious at onee to mitigate the distress, and to allay the alarm
which prevails among the •girtmiltural classes or the com-
munity.

of the existing law which could now be atieuipted, they might

origin and stature of those difficulties, or to recommend
that specific plats of relief ;voluted on/ by the suffering
parties, which, however suctioned by the arguments and
prayer of their Pennines, appears to be &waded iu delusion,
end likely therefore to lead wily In disappointment.
So far as the present detonate', is the markets of eeriest-
I oral predict is the effect of abundance from oar ewe
growth, the itmosivesience mime from • cause which no
legislative pruvisios eau alleviate; su far as it is the result
of the increased value of our money, it is one not peeubar
to the farmer, bat which has bees and still is experienced
by teeny other classes of society. That result however is
Ilse more severe'y felt by Ilse teams., in coosiqoseace of its
coincidence with so eveistocked msakel, especially if be be
farming with • borrowed capital and seder the engagements
of • lease; and it has hitherto bet.. farther aggravated by
the comparative stooges, sill' which prices generally, mid
particularly she prier of labour, accommodate themselves to
• change in the value of mosey.
Fruits this circumstance, combined with other causes, the
departure from our ancient standard, in proportion as it was
prejudicial to all meditate of mosey and persons deprodoot
is. fixed incomes, was a benefit to the active capitals of the
'rotary; and it cannot be denied that the restoration of that
stamilarel has, in its tare, bees propurtiovially disadvanta-
geous to many iudividuale belonging to she productive chimes
of the community, and especially to those who had engaged
in speculative adventures, tithe" of farming or trade.

That restoration mast also be accompanied with embar-
rassment to the landowner, in proportion as his estate is en-
cumbered with mortgages or other fixed payments, assimied

From the cessation of public loans, the probability of line

henceforward, during the continuance of peace, be regularly
appropriated to the reduction of the public debt, your COMM
Willer trust that the rate of interest of rummy, may, is •

as to make those encumbrances a lighter burden epos lisp
landed interests of the kingdom. It is an alteration
which fernier interval. of peace have produced, at periods
is many respects less favour,ble to its attainment; sad
if, in the present instance, the want of that alleviation
is become more wriest, your Committee venture to hope .
that, from the great r acennoulalion of capital in the cone-
try, cooperating with the effects of a positive and steady.'
reductiou of the public debt, this satirist] result wilt ifTad
be Inure speedily brought •bout. They look forward to
this mode of easiegibe ercumbranees of the landlord 414 the

of society the share of that evil which has now fallen upon
the lauded Interest, is the only one which, without inilittior
greeter iojnry and greater injustice, admits (slow :that we
are so far advanced in the system of a restored currarcy) of
no other relief. The ditlieuhies, great as they unfortiustely
are, in which it has invoived the farming, Ike manefaktoriag
and trading interests of the country, must diminish ID ro-
purlieu, as contracts, prices, and labour, adjust ibeniselies to
the present value of mosey. That this change is non is
regrew., and hem already taken place to a considerable de-
gree, is iii evidence before your Committee. They are satis-
fied that it will cuntinue until that balance is restored, which
