A Petition of the Merchants and Manufacturers of Woollen
Cloth and Worsted Stuffs, residing at Leeds, is Yorkshire,
was presented and read; setting forth, that the Pettliotwei
were formerly accustomed to supply the doodisioss of Spain
on the Continent of America, through the ports of Europe,
until the gradual separation of the Spanish American Colo-
mei from the parent state; that since that time the cum-
merce with the countries satellite on both sides of Cape horn,
alwauudiug in the richest produc►ioes of the vegetable and
mineral ktugdon, has become of growing importance to the
manufacturers of that part of the km :ode many of whom
have branches of their homes established there, and oiling
' conduct their Liminess through seats, who have hitherto
received -"every requisite facility fur carrying en their trade
'from the 'LID reut States where they wade ; that the Peti-
tioners hare been informed that official cemmuoication has
been made by the Agent of the Republic of Columbia to the
different Cuiarts of Europe, stating that the Republic would
exclude from their ports the veep-11 of fuels nations as should
not acknowledge their independeace; that the Petitioners
have tau much at stake aut to feel alarm and anxiety to long
as Ilse question remains in doubt, whether, this couutry will

Stales in South America who have • established their inde-
pendence, and thereby ensore to the subjects of the British
empire an equal participation in their trade, or, by rennin
the acknowledgment they require, transfer to their commer-
cial comp tunes those advantages w Inch by capital and en-
termire they have acquired ; that the Petitioners therefore
humbly entreat the House to take Ibis important subject into
their serious consideration, and they feel confident such mea-
sures will then be adopted as may secure a coutioustion of
the advantages they possess.
