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 remark
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.' .13C7aring, 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 eilid in
:View. 'But stiff.he felt thatit could serve 'only as a
temporary expeshent, :until, as' in this instance, it
WaSdeterminecliWly to investigate
_the subjed, and
to .dec.icle what laWs Dhohld continue in force, or
iivliether any rieWlaws'shoUld- he etia4ed ivith regard
to. the state of the Woollen

Lord Flrraßv PETTY, in explanation, o6serVed, that
delusive hopes. had been ex,cited by-*lfrequenCy of
SuspensiOn which hopeshad. been thrbughout
the.. country srclulusly encouraged by mischievouS

INDIA.

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--10u74 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
.Ifor 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
exclusiion, 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, might
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 poi
litic, might also be. inquired into. 'BUt-at present his
object sinifilywas that the Document he referred to
should be laid before the House, and it would be for
the House itself, or for Ministersito 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. impressed
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 neutral 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 374, 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 press 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.

jeEt of his motion to obtain; as Lists Of "the arrivals-

they took our Indian pro4uce circuitously;,and

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 Islid
principal towns, specie .was the medium for. paying
