it is evident, should he disposed of this
and be no longer driven off by the te.:apordt y e%-
pediepts hitherto rehorted to ; for if it is at all
essential to retain within this kingdom the various
inecbanies.t &c. employed in this branch of naval
manufacture, the question should now-be sett Led,

when in consequence of the want of employment
upwards of ten thousand shipwrights, canlket:s,
seamen, and others, emigrated froni this country
to France and other, Tarts of the Continent. By
the Bill, whicth' it is understood will he brought

mitted to all.the privileges of British-built ships,
except that .they will not be aliowtd to go into
the coasting trade. or British West India a.mit
13ritlsh American trade, bikt that they will be ca-
towed to trade front India to China (trout which,
it presumed, as the law now stands, Br.tislk-
built ships are excluded) ti) South America, to time
United States, to Africa, to the Westeru isles,
and various other places.
