RYDER said, that among the Orders which
itnd dropped in consequence of the Motion of
Adjournment which SC:11 tatried Friday, was
Pne respating the Isonniic6 which it Was proposed
to grant upon the Culture of Potatoes. He knew
it was not regular to retle‘w ap•Oider after 4'll'd
dropped, without giving; fresh nOtice ; but_ as
this. was a,subjea to which the attention of the
liouse had Inen called, and as the Report of the
Committee was in the, hands of e,-:•..ry Gentlernan,•
be hoped there would be no objeo!on to take the
Report -r,f the CoMmittee.theninto-eonsideration.

to trespitss upon the attention of the -ComMittee, •

Mr. BUXTON rose to oppose the, Motion, :as
. he did not approve of experiments of this kind ;

find'lheir level, as, they always would do. tle

accuracy, he could hardly . have objeeted to otitis.'
Resolution: - The intention of, the Committee
Gentlemanwas, not as, the
.Hon. Geem:ln • supposed, to.
take away froth the Pasture Land,' but: to apply
Land, that was not now produ6ive, to the growth

on the contrary, it intistbe the oNekt.of all met,
in all situations, to increase the,,qyanfity of Pro,

reduce the. price. Last yeara measure sor.ljethicg

of the plan of the Committee, on which there
could nor, in his opioian, be two opinions,
a;.(1 ;jot Was, the etscourageincni it

ly;1110pfd would not oppose this
t;tikss, ,:he'ypttld sa-gest wire othOr likely to•

answer the great object which they all bad in
iew.
Mr. BUXTON said, that nobody could be
more anxious than he was to reduce the price of
Provisions, but he did not think that object
would be attained by those kind of spieulatiowi..
Farmers :should be left to themselves, and .th,ee.
would always follow ,their Own interest, by en:
deavouringto grow whatever article they, were
like to make:money by .as to giving bounties
to Cottagers he highly approved °lit.
Mi•. HO RN E TOOK E. Entie, with some
dence,- to.speak upon agricultural Subjeds:; but
hc was afraid that this Committee,
.with very
good i> tentions;. had exceeded their power. He
very, much disapprovthof these kind of specula-
tions ; if he had been in "the _last Parliament,. he•
should have opposed the Poisoning Act, and he-Was
glad that one of the first nicasures of the United
Parliarirent was to repeal it. • All the effortiOf.
tLe.Committee, and of Parliament would only :in,
, crease the evil, and these Premiums, thougbgiven
with the best intention in the world, would only;
raise the price of -provision's. Besiels.s he thought
it very hard to call upon the land owner to pay
bounties to lower the rent of his own land. If
Gentlemen would • examine this subjefi , fairly,.
they would see that they were only struggling
against necessity, and in doing so, they molt
heap absurdity' upon absurdity., It was, impos.
sible to lower the. price of, provisions Withobt
lOwering the National Debt and the..Taxes.' The
mischief arose from endeavouring to counteraet
National Causes, by trying 'to . keep doivn' the
price of provisions, while the Debt and Taxes
were increasing: Instead of attempting- tO keep
downlthe'price of provisions, in his opinion it
ought to be the general wish that they should he
raised, He was an enemy to sill innovatiOns;
whether in l'olities or in Religion, and. the
strongest reasons he had for being on .the side of
Govunment and Religion was, because he found-.
them established. '..l"his was, 'and" always had
been, his creed, and he defied 'any man in the
world to chew that he had eVerwrittet4 or said a
word to the contrary, though he hid written and,
saitia great deal. He disapproved of Premiums,
and in particular he thought it was unjust to call
ittpon.people to give :2remiums. against themselves.
The price of provisions had very much inerose4
in his memory, and would-increase ; it'wa3
possible to prevent.them and in his opinion it
was better for the Country. they should rise. It
was, in vain,tq struggle, the
.price.would• go up,
and the price of labour would increase in the same
proportion ; ne-Aft. of Parliament could prevent
them. Where then would the storm ultimately
fall'? It,Would. fall upon the public cjeditor, for
what is his situation ? Hey* rooL to Govern_
ment, and.receives 31. 0r.605. intereSt. While '
the quartern loaf was .at
.6d. he could for his 6os.
purchase 1.20 quartern Joave,s ; when the loaf was
at is'. 6d. he could' only purchase ao, and if they
still increased in price, he would
,perhaps; have
;only szo, or pertraps less, I The whole weight
then would fall 'upon the Public Creditor, and
some few
.annuitants, for the' poor would not suf..
•fer, becanse the' price.of their .'-iabout' ',must' in-
crease ; antitzbe land Owners could'not in injured,
bee4use the rent of their land-woulcl• t!e augment-
ed';. and. the 'Revenue', would not Stiffer because
the Taxes woultl, become greater and .greater.,--
The public creditor, as he.before stated, would
. alone; sttirer, for thong') lie woqld nominally ;e.
ceive the same, yet -in fad he would receiveless
and less. With roped to the Revenue,, he was
of opinion, if the Minister was to take off. all the
present Taxes, and take one-half or three fourths
of every man's income, both parties would be
gainers, He coneluded,with apologizing to the
Commit= for taking up so much of theft time,
and exitesstng his disapprobation of the
.Reso_
Air: RYDER said', that in trtaltittgilia'bis
nion upon this sobjed,: The opinion of those per—
&ons,; who had been -alluded to, ,had had great'
weight 'with him ; and' upon giving the subject
the fullest Consiclefa:ions in his po-vver, he was in.:
• dined to think the. Premiums now, proposed-were
mach, more likely tO do good than harm. It had,
hien said, that when the price. of an article was
high,h would' encourage farmers to grow it ;--
•
but the Iztd,,was, that farmers would not go to
the expellee of speculating without encourage,'
'Ment. With respet to the other part Of the plan,.
`fin 'giving encouragement to Cottagers, he was
happy to find that, it was not likely to meet with*
any oppo ,

TILE COESEtISSAICY Of THE FRENCH REPUDLIC REsln-

VISTER‘FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS.

" Lands's, Jan. 29, ISol.

" I have this Moment received the annexed I.etterftoni
. the Commissioners tif the Transrort Office, as well.as the
other inclosed, front kir. Du I.: DA 9, which informs m 4 Of *
Resolution of again subjecting French Fishermen to all the
rignusit of thetititish Cruizers. . This violent and unex-
pededdetirmination is founded upon allgittions so vogue,
that.l cannot retrain from demanding, with great earnest-
ness, more explicit eclaircissement. I n the mean time, it is
'my duty tcr,transmit you news of this importance, as early
as possible, that. our poor Fishermen may be informed
thereof, and keep out of the way or the English Cruizers,
who will not tad to take. them wherever they spay be
found. I write at the sante tune to the Commissioners of
the Marine at Dunkirk, Calais, Dieppe, at liavre, and at
Poet Maloe, requesting them: to .make known to the
Fitharmen the. danger with which they are menaced,
although .in casting my eye over the Letter of Mr. Doti-
pAs,
.okthe 21st at. janpary, but Which has only been de-
livered to me this day, I have reason to believe that this
information will arnvii.too late' and that a great number of
unfortunate. Parsons will have been victims to a measure,
ttut Tuatives of:which I ate not able to guess at.
