LONDON, Dec. 14, Ise .
To 4.e AGRICULTURAL, COLONIAL, EAST INDIA,
SHIPPING, and MONIED INTERESTS of the UNITED
KINGDOM.

A, MEETING of- MEMBERS of these seve-
, • rai BRITISH INTERESTS is intended to he held at
iAe CITY of LONDON TAVERN, on the assembling of Par-
t, for the purpose, of INVESTIGATING the CAUSE
of the
tl
present NATIONAL DISTRESS., and of discossing
" devising- a Remedy; and particularly for the purpose of
ascertaining whether our national i:tliurance of the mighty,
t
oesnurces of the British Empire is not the principal cause of
u
r ilainnal difficulties, and whether those mighty resources
bLan,tiot be beneficially brought into action by a wise and com-
rreavnsive system of Coin meter, founded on principles of reci-
procity of benefits, and combined with a system of finance,
l°anited on self •creating and self-supporting principles, so as
„,o.gire profitable employment to the whole of our capital,
"diPPing, and people, and thereby to render a numerous and
aft increasing population, with a proportionate taxation,
blessings instead of what tht y now are, a curse.
tWith the knowledge of such a system of commerce and
til'ances the inevitable tendency of which would be to remove
„ the°f British Empire to the highest pitch, the Meeting will
betuade acquainted ; and, as all British Interests have one
"Ject only to promote, it is intended thatthe Meeting should
consider the expediency of petitioning Parliament to appoint
`t Committee to ascertain the value of each and every British
interest to the State, with a view to the imposition, on rival
t °reign products, of protecting duties, which shall equalize,
1t the British markets, the burthens and privileges of Fii-
r'itn and British Producers, Ship-Owners, &c. Under such
an equitable system, commerce might be allowed the freedom
°I air; and the interests of every class of Britons, being se-
fute from undue prefeence and unequal com
" Ped rmanently securedr and rapidly a,Jvanced.petition, would
„T he Manufacturing Interest at present possess undue pro-
"ailing protection ; their machinery is untaxed, or is at least
very unequally and inadequately taxed as compared with ma
-
total labour ;—a large portion of their labour and poor are
lJs'tl by the Landed Interest, through the poors'-rate, for
aish the Mauulacturing Interest repay nu eq,•Nalent. In
`tg3ithan to these considerations, it may be added, that their
zaantsfactur. f • •*an in lien of Colonial and British
.. • ing front of et,
'alba cotton, is a loss to the Empire, amounting in the whole
1.0 about twenty millions sterling per annum. The Manufac-
itirers, therefore, cannot he considered as an entire British
eerest, a great part of their capital being employed on
ititre'gn product; our can they be considered as having senti-
-1,4,,hts altogether congenial with the real interests of the Ear-
l' 11,, •In inviting them to attend the proposed Meeting,

-11)", levited to attend the proposed Meeting ; and it is put
PP the candour of • many Merchant,: themselves, a hether, as
their
unwise las have invited, and du invite, them to invest
Xir capital its foreign loans, forests, and ships, or in foreign
t, hemp, flax, cotton, tobacco, and rice fields, or in the
,Itecolatioti and factorage of them, thereby alienating British
(i•apitals.and as they are now or about employing foreign in
tien of British people and ships, to the great prejudice of the
latter ;,,,d „f• the Empire,—whether their attendance can be
‘nnsiatred as that of a real and entire British interest. This
