COAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS

[NEW TIMES.]

The foreign news received yesterday was of the same com-
plexion with that which we have been accustomed to for some
time past—affording .complete and satisfactory proof that the
Revolutions with which the Continent has lately been agitated
ware in no instance the work of the people, bubmterely the act
of a few worthless and profligate intriguers, who now are
quarrelling with each other, throwing out mutual charges
of treachery, or else running away like cowards frOm the dan-
ger they have brought upon _others. It is stated that no less
than six million's of "francs were sent from Paris, in February,
to corrupt the troops in Piedmont. This money was supplied
by certain Bankers, the same who were so active in propagat-
ing false and exaggerated accounts of the strength and successes
of the Neapolitan and Piedipontese rebels. At Turin, two of
the rebellious regiments have been firing on each other. The
Prince of Cisterns, the traitor, who first came from-Paris to stir
up the revolt in Piedmont, has run away, and was seen travel-
ling in France. The Austrian troops were concentrated on the
Test i°, and were expected to pass that river between the 10th
and lkith Of ApriL

[THE TimEs.]
The public will recollect, that at the time the Committee of
Lords was formed to take into consideratiOn the state of foreign
trade, great distress was felt in,this branch of our commercial
pursuits, and great anxiety expressed for the result .of the inves-
tigation. The anxiety has subsided from the hopelessness of
relief, and thodistress, we fear, has continued unabated. How-
ever, we are not without some expectation of a beneficial result.
If the labours of the Committee tend only to establish'and iaro-
mulgate right principles, much will be effected, though those
principles are not immediately acted upon. They will consti-
tute a rule to which we may look, and from which we may
measure our deviation. The celebrated report of the Bullion
Committee has been of more use recently than at the time of its
first publication.

[MORNING POST.]
In the Turkish provinces hostilities appear to have actually
conimenced. The proclamation of Ypsilanti (for which he in-
curred the displeasure of the Emperor of Russia) appears to
have been followed by the massacre of a great number of Turks.
The revolution extends over the whole of Moldavia; Wallachia,
and Bulgaria, and in Servia several corps have been raised,
destined to act against the Turks. Private letters state, that on
the 21st a smart battle was fought near Galata, in Moldavia,
between the Greeks and the Turks, in which the latter were
completely defeated.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
The COURIER, who at first affected to `treat the idea of a
general Greek Insurrection with sneering levity, begins now to
discover his error, and if he does not acknowledge it, he at
least maintains a discreet silence. But another Ministerial
Paper, with a sagacity which can never be sufficiently admired,
tells us, that " the present state of Europe (Ries not allow of
the • Emperor Alexander's embarking in new schemes of
conquest. Really! 'Why, when was the 'state of Enrope
so favourable for his embarking in new schemes of conquest ?
The Revolutionary matter which paralyses the cultivated
.States of Europe does not affect him, and puts it out of the
• power of any of these States to oppose hint in his designs. The
--Power which is most materially interested: in preventing his
aggrandizement on the side of Turkey, and which alone posses-
ses the,means of doing so with effect, namely Austria, will find
more than a sufficiency of employment for a long time lo come,
in keeping down the Italians.—thie thing
,can hardly•filil to
have-some weight in forming an opinion respecting the connec-
tion of RUssia with this insurrection. The population of Russia
haVe long identified themselves with the population of Turkey pro‘
fussing the Greek religion. The Russiansareextrernely ambitious
and fanatically attached to their religion, and from that cause alone
they must be disposed to render every assistance to the Greeks
which they possibly can. The most absolute Sovereign cannot
'disregard the passions and-prejudices of a whole people. Even
- supposing, therefore, the Emperor Alexander to have changed
his character, and to have now lost all relish for despoiling his
=weaker
neighbours; we doubt whether it is in.his-power to pre-
vent the Greeks from receiving most material aid.from Russia.

[BRITISH PRESS.I' -
The King of Naples we are gl4d to.hear„ is said to:have-re-
newed his.promise to his people of granting them a represepta-
tive form of government, and aecordingly the Parliament wily
shortly be convened. Should thin statement prove true, Naples
will still have to thank the brave men whoprOmoted the late re-
volution, for to their exertions alone can this concession upon
the part of the Monarch be "fairly and rationally, attribut-
ed: We have never ranked- ourselves. 'anaidg the admirers
of the Spanish Constitution ;. on the •contrary, we have al-
'ways . regarded it as extremely, fateltY in Many important

RELATES TO THE TER:ITE TIZADei PART/
•

TO THE •EARIJ OF LIVERPOOD.
Mr LO;t.D.L-Esteetri- for your Lordship's is
vate virtues and love for my country will' uQt
permit me to-be silent, bile f seeyour"Lordshih
as a statesman, labouring under your present d-
lusive system, as relates to your foreign policy,.,,
prejudicial as it is to the nation's best ititeresti • 4
and I feel constrained to offer my' feeble aid -,toa
dispel that delusion. I therefore most. respeq-
ftilly take leave to observe, 'that yoUr errors ap-
'pea'r to proceed from not 'having practised (he
unprotecting system which your Lordship advo-
Cates ; and from not censiderinz that,' comparing
the world to 4 circle, we form only
,a segment of
it in common with- other nations, and that we are
pressed beyond our due position in that circle by
our national debt and. expenditure. If the world
were under a single government, and all the peo-
ple in it equally burthened, then your Lord Ship's
system would be a perfect one, since what would
be taken from' the people in tares, WOuld'be
restored to them through an increase in the 'de-
mand for their industry, and in the price .of their
labour, just as the water evaporated by the suers
rays from 'the ocean is dispersed
,in fertilizing
showers over the earth, and then returns to .the
place whence it came. In the existing state,of
things it is incumbent on us to form a Sort•of
world within ourselves, and this cannot be effected
without affording protection to every species
of property in the British Empire against foreign
competition equal to its value to the State.
also appears to me that, in your systcm,of
economy, your Lordship does not make the
profitable employment of our people the ground-
work of our national-prosperity j. nor does yOur
Lordship seem to be aware that inproportion as
we consume foreign articles, the like of which we
can produce ourselves at home, 'or in our Colo-
nies„ we diminish that profitable employment' as
well as our aggregate con3um,'ption,.and Co6e-
quently lessen our means of producing revenue,
as well as impair our national wealth and poli-
tical power. It is no solace to find that under
this system a few merchants are Making rapid
fortunes, 'for this is done at the ex pence of their

country's Vital resources. 1 apprehend also that
your Lordship is not aware that indired revenue
„paid through the profitable e:nploymelit of our
people, is not only greater-in amount, but is also
,
sooner paid than the direct revenue levied ;
reign Commerce is. Nine- tenths of every article
of British produce and workmanship-in-the Eta-
pire is compounded of labour and revenue,
con-
sequently that article which, from its component
'proportions of British labour and revenue be-
comes most valuable, yields the greatest measure
of ' wealth and revenue to the nation. Now, if
the profitable employment of our people were
made the test or criterion for ascertaining the
nation's 'prosperity, and if our Legislators were
sound Statesmen, endowed with a practical
knowledge- of the various' kinds of our pros-
perity, the tia)e and expence of Parliamen-
tary committees for ascertaining the stlite
of propftSr would be saved to the nation,
if our properly were but
,protected'accord-

ing to its value to the State. For instance,
to enable any LegislatOr,to ascertain the actuLl
condition 'of the people, End of the property of
the empire, he would then only need to knOw
the state of the landed interest, when, if he
found corn selling at a price below_the cost of
its production on an average of years, he would
immediately 'declare that the, landed incerest way
living on its capital and not on its rents, and
would .add, that its labourers were 'turned out of
employment for want of remunerating. prices for
agricultural produce.; . that this destitUtion of
employme.-tt stkferedby those people would like-
wise deprive of Profitallie employment-The manu-
facturer, the merchant, the shopkeeper, 'the
Slip-owner, and the sailor, who would conse-
quently cease in their, turn to be, profitable cus-
k.nners to ;he agriculturist,- and then 'an these
once productive-classes would bcconje 'Chargeable '
on the landed interest through the p"Oori'-rates.
This. is our case at present, anti the evil arises
entirely from • Want of legislative "protection to
every kind of British property equal to 'its value.
to, the State. 'Again, the Legislator in:questiott
wou:d need no Committee to ascertain the state
of our shipping interest, for on beitig informed
of the, price..of freights, he would,be •ebabled to
perceive, the state of • the shipping interest much
better, than those theorists who deduce their data
from the conflicting evidence taken befoie a Par-
liamentary Committee. ' To Legislators possess-
ing a thorough practical kriowledge of things,,,the
sane
.afivantage would accrue in - investigating
every.. other kind of property in the British
Empire.

I therefore strongly, and most .oeapectfully, re-
commendOthat yoer Lordship. should found all
-your measures on the principle of increasing the
profitable employment of our people in the ag-

-protecting against foreign competition every kind
of property in the Empire, according to its value
to the State. This single measure would nullify
every objectionable part of the East India Charter,
as well as the objectionable' parts of our Ame-
;kali Teeaties, without making .a breach of con-
irket,.aod woUld transfer our trade in hemp, flax,
cotton,•arsd to-have-co,. frOrn foreigners to our own
coleoies,in which the cultivation of those articles
willafford employment to a million or more of
ourepeople,
.as well as to an .additional half mil-
, lion tone, or more, of our shipping, will increase
considerably the demand. for our manufacturing
iusitestry, afford an increased profitable employ-
"eperst.toour people in the aggregate, and restore
o3iter whole Empire to its pristine health and pro-
sperity. •All this (as. stated .io detail in my
Ccaversations on Political Economy," corn-
, eneesciog .at page 37,) may be done without a
sailing advanced from the Nation.
i. 71 act would reduce the military and ma-
_
:neaps of our rivals more than twenty of our
soil:ef.the line, and one hundred thousand of . our
armed. men could Join war, as it would deprive
. .
:thoee:powereof the revenue which they levy on
„tippets:from this country, and which enables them
to raise navies and armies for our future destruc-
t. tuui. It would also ferm the various depart-
•ments of our industry into a perfect circle, and
as it were constitute us a world within ourselves,
under.a single government, and a consistent sys-
: tern of .policy by which. the taxes levied would,
a-±3 have already stated, be returned by the
lseneficial influence of an increased demand for
industry. 'Your Lordship and your Noble and
Right Hon. Colleague's seem not to have arrived
at a_correct definition of the terms cheap and dear,
for.Lt appears to be your and their maxim that if,
for instance, we import Timber .from the Baltic
in foreign • vessels, how much cheaper would
builders render their houses and vessels to us,
than they could be rendered if the timber used in
building them were, imported from British Arne-
; erica in British vessels ?. My answer is British
:Celonist, the Ship owner, and the sailors and the
persons employed by them in this Colonial trade,
_ are the means of . giving to the builder and his
men. a. great portion of their employment, but
:when they shall have been thrown idle'
by .the introduction of foreign timber, the
builders and the public will then be able
to purchase the houses :and the ships which
the people in our colonial timber trade now
.occopy, at a much lower price than that at
yr filch they, can afford to build them. The .con-
e,sequence will „b e.that the builders, instead of
e.-being enabled to construct their houses and vessels
on, cheaper terms, will be deprived of their em-
.. • •
pigment altogether, and will be reduced, toge-
e,ther with their, people-and the persons employed
,'„iferthem, as well-as those ettgagetf.in the colonial
ktipeber trade, to the necessity, of subsisting on the
o,isteaded interest through the poor rates, when the
„buses and ships, whichsthe persons, engaged in
ethe.-colonial timber trade now occupy, will cause.
• the supply to exceed the demand, and thus the
,itt.p..ustry of:the empire will be. paratieed. In such .
state of things 'as that now contemplated,'timber
.seould not be accepted even as a present. There '
„aeerris also in your Lordship's calculations the
fdlowin erroroo-that our revenue. is conceived I
„-to be paid by our. population numerically consi-
deredo.whereas it arises the ratio of the cumber
of our population. profitably employed, for pau-
pers pay very little towards it. Under this error
I presume that your Lordship was labouring
when you proPoied to discontinue the cultivation
_ of our own poor soils, which are now affording
subsistence to about two millions of our people,
constituting one of the finest portions of the po-
pulation. These persons, when thrown out of em-
ployment through our foreign policy,become demo-
/Hazed and dependent on the poor rates and on
.charitable donations. Your colleagues were in-
a similar error when they talked of reducingj
our Mercantile Marine. On the sth inst.., 1
sesne of them, In the /louse of Commons, seem-
ed ire their answers to Mr. BENNET and. Lord Ao-
Teeorcee, to have, acted a most singular part, if
we ,may judge ;by the reports of their speeches,
which represent them as espousing the cause of
our Shipping. Interest, and olour British Ame-
rican Colonial„ Interest,
.while their own men-
sores, then before the House, by altering the
.uty on Timber, were tending 'to destroy those
very intere.gts which they professed to advocate,
as well to deprive the Landed Interest of
fk,ooo profitable customers, to cause an increase
in the Poor Rates of one million per annum,
throw out
.of profitable employment 50,000 of our
people, and occasioning a diminutioo of national
wealth and political power, amounting, with the.
other lessee, to some millions aonually, as per
statement in my letter of the 4th inst. to the Right
if n.. tire Vice President of the Board of Trade,
to which I refer your Lordship for further par-
ticularsolc- Let MQ add, by_ the Way, that any
trade which may in future be carried on to those
ousrters at the expence of capital, takes nothing
from my calculations, at least according to my
.judgment: Now such conduct as that which I
have noticed must lead every practical man to
consider that the parties adopting it either acted
insincerely, or were unable, for want of expo-
rience, to perceive. the natural effect and ten-
dency of their own measures. It also appears
that your Lordship and your. Colleagues are in
error, when you propose to reduce the price of
articles below the cost at which they cell he pro-
duced, when you should have been aiming to
raise every man's income above his necessary ex-
penditure, without which, how can Revenue be
.paid?
, My Lord; I assure you, and I pray that you
may not forget what I say until the evil be irre-
mediable, that the profitable employment of our
people fixes the limits of our revenue and other

resources,-wLile a the sariae ti to it go-yernsriand,

for want of the due, protectinn,which ,V,have, re-
peatedly ret•omthencled.„.; 41,t;hi employment is
daily decreasing, and, will continue to decrease,
until you supersede:your present irregular policy
by a regular pr=otective syktein.
The hackneyed remarks-of Dr. A DAM SMITH,
that we have risen in spite of protection, and
not by protection, should never have been ut-
tered by a Statesman who values his reputation.
Let him traverse our Empire from one end to
the other, and he will find that nothing is brought
to perfection except by protection. Still he will
find many valuable concerns continuing to exist
in spite of the oppression caused by the igno-,
ranee of our Legislature.

It should be the Statesman's care to increase
our consumption, to do which he must increase
the profitable employment of our people, and
this can only be done by protecting every kind
of property in the British Empire against foreign
competition, in the ratio of its value to the State.

Unnatural foreign commerce disarranges the
circle of our industry, or, to use another simili-
tude, it acts like a, river always flowing into an
abyss, whose waters never return to enrich the
lands whence they sprung. Let our Statesmen
direct their attention to the protecting policy of
Russia, France, Spain, and the United States.of
America. The latter power tells us plainly,
that it will not depend on a precarious foreign►
commerce.

If, as I believe, CoLotnous be right in his
calculation, our new property or annual industry
amounts to about 700 millions sterling per an-
num, and if my memory be correct, our exports
last year arrammted to only 28 millions sterling.
Allowing one half of this to be for our Colonies,
their remaina only 14 milliOns of foreign trade,
one half of which it is fair to congiude is paid
for in articles which we can produce ourselves.
This I call unnatural foreign trade.; then the
whole of our natural foreign trade is only about
7 millions per annuin, being merely about 1 per
cent. of our annual industry. Yet to augment
this precarious commerce, so trifling in its value,
is an object which occupies the minds of almost
all persons in and out of Parliament Mild! more
than our 99 per cent. Domestic and COlonial
Trade; and this error is one of the chief causes
of our present distresses.
To sum up the whole, I assert, without fear ofi
contradiction, that unless we protect every pro-
perty of the British Empire against foreign com-
petition equal to its respective value to the State,
we cannot lessen our poverty, our pauperism, nor
their concomitants, namely, demoralization,
crime, &c., nor increase our general consump-
tion (the mother of Commerce), nor the profitable
employment of our people .(the father of con-
: surnption, Revenue, as well as of the prosperity
'of the Empire). I. therefore strongly and most
respectfully take leave to recommend to your
Lordship, that your first act, after the receipt of
this, may ,be to bring into Parliament a Bill to
protect every property as aforesaid, as the effects
of our present measure may oot be seen in all its ,
horrors until too late for a remedy ; whereas the
Act aforesaid, if immediately applied, would,
through the confidence with which -it would in-
spire our people, cause an immediate check to
the consequences of our present measures, for I
further contend, that it is not taxation, but the
want of knowing and properly applying the
wealth and resources of. the British Empire to
their proper purposes, that causes our present
distresses. •

I beg permission further to state that in my
opinion our present unprotecting foreign commer-
cial system is rapidly working a revolution in this
country, and unless our measures be promptly
changed, the best way to relieve her in her dis-
tress will be to concur with Ministers in their
present policy, that the evil may the sooner work
its own cure.

I remain your very obedient servant,
(Signed) JOSEPH PINSENT.

The Paris Papers of Tuesday furnish no addi-

ter from Genoa states, that the most active pre-
parations for resistance are carried on by the
Piedrnontese, Who seem, to be animated by the
best spirit.---Accounts from the Frontiers of
Moldavia confirm the . previous reports of' the
Greek Insurrection in the Turkish ProvinceS,
and the Proclamation- of Prince YYPSILANTI to
all the'Greeks (which We have inserted this day),
is drawn up with great energy, and judiciously
adverts to the -briiliant days of
,Greece, and to.
