LONDoN, Dec. 14, 1821.
To the AGRICULTURAL, COLONIAL, EAST INDIA
SHIPPING, anti NIONIED -INTERESTS of the UNITED
KINGDOM.
AMEETING of MEMBERS of these seve-
ral BRITISH INTERESTS is intended to he held at
the CITY of LONDON TAVERN, on the assembling of Par-
liament, for the purpose of .INVESTIGATING the CAUSE
of the present NA'! lONAL DISTRESS, and of discussing
and devising a Remedy; and particularly for the purpose of
ascertaining whether our national ignorance of the mighty
sesources of the British E-npire is not the principal cause of
our national difficulties, and whether those mighty resources
cinnot be beneficially bro• ght into action by a wise and com-
prehensive system of Commerce, founded on principlesofreci-
procity of benefits, and comb;ned with a system of finance,
tountled on self creating and self-supporting principles, so as
/0 give profitable employment to the whole of our capital,
shipping, and people, and thereby to render a numerous and
art increasing popolation, with a proportionate taxation,
blessings—iiistead of what they now are, a curse.
With the knowledge of such a system of commerce and
finance, the inevitable tendency of which would be to remove
the present distresses, and to carry the power and prosperity
of the British Empire to the highest pitch, the Meeting will
be made acquainted ; and, as all British Interests have oue
object only to promote, it is intended that the Meeting should
t:onsider the expediency of petitioning Parliament to appoint
a Committee to ascertain the value of each and every British
Interest to the State, with a view to the imposition, on rival
foreign products, of protecting duties, which shall equalize,
ill the British markets, the burtbens and privileges of Fo..
reign arid British Producers, Ship-Owners, &c. Under such
an equitable system, commerce might he allowed the freedom
of air ; and the interests of every class of Britons, being se-
cured front undue preference and unequal competition, would
be permanently secured and rapidly advanced.
• The Manufacturing Interest at present possess undue pro-
hibiting protection ; their machinery is untaxed, or is at least
very unequally and inadequately taxed as compared with ma-
nual labour ;--a large portion of their labour and poor are
paid by the Landed Interest, through the poors'.rate, for
which the Manufactut jog Interest repay no equivalent. In
addition to these considerations, it may be added, that their
manufacturing from foreign in lien of Colonial and British
linlia cotton, is a loss to the Empire, amounting in the whole
to about twenty tuitions sterling per annina. The Manufse-
turers, therefore, cannot he considered as an entire British
Interest, a great part of their capital being employed on
foreign product; nor can they be considered as having senti-
ments altngetker congenial with the real interests Of the Em-
pire. In inviting them to-attend the proposed Meeting,
therefore, they will he considered as present in their real
chat•acter.
General Merchants, as well as those trading exclusively
to foreign countries, although both amiable and wealthy as
men and gentlemen, are still its their mere mercantile cha-
racter, only factors for others; and, in their dealings, are
necessarily regard If SS of country, or of the cost of production
orproducts,provided the customer at the end pays them their
tutorage, or
,a profit on the adventure. They are also, how-
ever, invited to' attend the proposed Meeting; and it is put
to the candour of many Merchants themselves, a hether, as
our unwise laws have invited, and do invite, theist to invest
their capital in foreign loans, forests, and ships, or in foreign
corn, hemp, flax. cotton, tobacco, and rice fields, or in the
speculation and factorage of them, thereby alienating British
capital, and as they are now or about employing foreign in
liett'of British people arid ships,•to the great prejudice of the
latter and of the Empire.,—whether their attendance can be
considered as that of a real and entire British Interest.. This
question I leave them to determine. It is also wished to be
understood, that an Interest suppotted by a slave popula-
tion falls very short in its value to the State, when compared
with one that gives employment to a free population:
but I entreat there to consider; that the measures for which
application is intended to be made to Parliament are.ftruitded
on theprinciples,—
,That the profitable employment of our awn, and not foreign
- people nor slaves, constitues the wealth and prosperity of the
33ritish Empire.
That the agriculture of our Empire, when duly protected,
is the root of and propelling power to all our other branches
'if industry; and that ultimately all oar other interestsativance
or retrograde with it in an equal ratio.
That our exports are the mere payment of our imported
articles of consumption ; and that our general consumption
can only be increased by the profitable employment of the
great mass of our people.
That in consequence of our Empire requiring about two
tundred millions of additional people, to bring all its resources
into action, every man, when duly employed, is a positive gain
.to the State; but, when deprived of profitable employment,
is a loss to it, on the other hand, of about fifty pounds per
'annum ; and consequently that -.the consumption of every
foreign article, (even though such articles were bestowed upon
us as a donation) provided we can
.prodrice.the like of the
foreign article ourselves with otherwise unemployed people,
is dearer to us than. if we paid such of our own unemployed
people for its production fifty pounds per annum per man.
That a large taxation can he supported only by a large in-
come, that neither the quality or cost of things are State goes-
.tions, but belong solely to traffickers, producers, and consum-
ers, and that all that statesmen have to do is to ascertain their
value' to the State and protect them accordingly.

tisement.—The Gentlemen who attend it are requested to be
prepared to approve or to dispute the accuracy of the above
propositions. The Editors of Newspapers, and other publi-
