last year was 60,000,casits ; this yearc only 10,000
bad been receiveiltseethal allowiug for to consider-
able surplus out of Om; aupply of former years,
there must still he a deficiency of at least one-half. '
This deficiency must materially affect the growth
of flax, and thus one of the most valuable of our
staple fabricks, the linen manufactory of Ireland,
must be essentially injured. There was another
consideration of still greater importance. Great
Britain now required every year a large importation
of corn end flour, which was commonly received
front America and the Baltic. From the ports of
the latter we were now entirely excluded, and our
supply would be equally cut off from the fot-
Ter, if the present embargo, coutiiuwd. The
quantity imported from America, into this port
alone, last year, was five hundred thousand bushels
of wheat, and one hundred and thirty-six thou-
mud barrels of flour. Our last crop of wheat in this
country hail certainly been a good one. but in every
other grain it fail been greatly deficient. From
Ireland uo supplies of wlicut were now coining for-
ward ; but, on the contrary, considerable shipinenbt
of wheat and flour a ene making to that country,
which, iu conserpience of a deficient crop of eons
and potatoes, she may continue to require. From
no conotry with which we are now in connection,
could we receive any supplies; nut the contrary,
large shipments must be made for the supply of
the West Indies. What reason burl we to suppose
that England, winch had always required large
importations, could be able net only to do without,
but export largely to her foreign posaessions ?
The two petitions, one to the Lords and the
other to the Commons, were then real and unani-
mously approved. ,
