BIRMINGHAM MEMORI ‘L.

COMMERCIAL TREATY wITH FRANCE•

The following is a copy of the Memorial to the
Lords Commissioners of his Majesty's Treasury
oo the subject of a COnnitercial Treaty with
France, from the Chamber of Manufactures and
Commerce at Birmingham :

" TO THE RIO HT HoNT. THE LORDS COMMISSIONERS or HIS

MAJESTY'S TREASURY.
" The Memorial of the undersigned Directors of the Cham-

her of Manufactures and Commerce,

"'Respectfully slieweth,
" That your Memorialists are desirous of representing. to
your Lordships the severe depression under which the Trade
of the Town of Birmingham and its Neighbourhood. -has for A
. . .
long time suffered, • its distressing effects on the labouring
class, and.the deep anxiety which they feel that such.effectual
measures should he adopted as may extend the demand for
the manufactures of this great and enterprising country.
" That whilst your MeniotialiSts are impressed with the
conviction that his Majesty's Gove'rnment has been solicitous
to encourage and protect the commerce of this country, it
appears to them that the long-established maxims of com-
mercial policy generally acted Boon, and frequently, in com-
pliance with the partial Views of the trading part of the com-
munity, hare been inconsistent with comprehensive and
enlightened principles of political ecohomy.
" That your Memorialists, relying upon the skill, industry,.
and capital of the manufacturers' and merchants of the coun-
try, combined with the superior excellence of its manufac-
tures, feel confident that nothing can tnore..effectually contri-
bute to •the prosperity of -these Kingdoms than a padual
removal of all embarrassing ulistades to a liberal commer-
cial intercourse with those nations who hare the means of
affording equivalents for British commodities.-
" That as it is the interest of every c auitry to promote that
trade which possesses. the greatest. facilities of communica-
tion, and admits of the quickest circulation of copitalx put;
Memorialists would express to your Lordships their earnest
wish that fon would be, pleased to adopt such measurei as
may appear to your wisdom -most efficient 6ir
.cst ahlis•hing
a commercial intercourse with Frain e'upou the • most liberal
basis--an event which from the recollection of the lucrative
trade formerly carried on between the two countries, and in
which the town of Birmingham largely participated, could
not fail to be exceedingly beneficial to the interests of both I
nations."
