DISTRESS IN GERMANY.
THOUGH the COMMITTEE for relieving the
,
Distress, occasioned byttie ravages of War in Germany;
has been enabled by British benevolence •to remit • about
50;0001. for the alleviation of the woes of suffering- humanity,
yet, such has been the extent of the devastations, such the
depth of misery into which whole Districts have been plung-
ed, and so numerous and urgent are the new applications for
Relief from various quarter's, thattheConnuittde canon no ac-
count think of relaxing its efforts. Details of these Distresses
will be found ir. the lteports of the Committee, which, as well
as Papers for Churches and Cotr,uegations, may be had at the
London Tavern ; and at Athermaias, Strand.

.TRADE AND FROM INDIA.
TO THE EDITQIt.
SIR-4 ba.ve 'read the 53 Gen. 111. c. and
54*Geo. 111. c. 34; and it appears that India-built
Ship's are to be, under the proposed Bill re:pecting India Ship-
w.ng, admitted to ill the privileges of Itnt:sh-,hailt. Ships, ex-
cept that'they are not to eater into the Coa4ling Trade of the
United Kingdom, or into the British Cohn Trade; so
that under these statutes, the India Owners. will be pees
witted to trade; not only direct to andfronrthe United King-.
t3go;t6. 411,1 Chian, but from India to China (from
ships are ex.etiiifed), amid front India-Id •
South afid Foreign North America, and to all the inter-
mediate ports, places, and countries, within the limits of
the Charter of the East India Company. Whttt beyond
these privileges they are not entitled to, is not easily to
be 'discover'ed, from the ambiguity of the acts referred
to. Yoit will therefore render an important service to the
Public, by directini sone attention to this subject,and stating
in your patriotic journal. what privileges Non conceive the
Owners of the India-built Ships have not obtained by the
passing of these statutes: The disadvantages to the Owners
,of British-built Ships, and.to all the Home Interests, are ap-
parent. It is,.however, to be expected, thatamtwithstand-
ing so few s$ the, members for the maritime counties, .and
for the out-ports, are on the Select .Counnittee appoitittM
to consider of the 'proposed .Bill to admit India-built Shpt
to British Registry, yet that an 'opportunity will be afford-
ed to the out-ports, as well as 'to the builders in the coun-
ties of Middlese, Stirtey, Essex, and Kent, (the names of
• whose. Members do nut appear on the Select Committee,
though all the private dock-yards on the rivers 'Plaines and
Medwii ace within those counties, and not within the city of
London,) to' bring their case fully, without anticipation or
prejudice, before the Legislat ore. With the exception of Mr.
Alexander Bariieg, none of the Members, usually styled Oppo-
sition Members, are on this Select Committee, and few,
tt any, of the Members for Scotland ; although the Ship-
builderS in that. part of the -Kingdom feel a strong interest
on 'the subject.- The • Recess will .afford a little time fur
reflection, before this Bill passes into a law; and, proba
bly, the Landed Interest will no loti.,er disregard a mea-
sure ,so deeply interesting to them and their posterity.—
The permission for India-built Ships to rail at any interme-
diate ports, &c. in South or North America; will perpetu-
ate au evil long complained of, namely, the supply of the
Btitish WestAndies, and British Nutlii America, with India
goods true► the Continent of America.
.Indeed, by the law as
it now stands, it is considered any person may trade direct to
and from India to the United States; bitt not direct from
India to the British AM*. lean Colonies, or the British. West
Indies ! With all the fever excited 00 this subject, it is ap-
parent the India interests have gained every thing, and the
Houle interests little or nothing
