would be submitted to them for their adoption. If any per-
son wished to oiler an objection to any part of:it, or hail any
emendment to propose, he trusted they would be' heard with

Mr. Watt as, one of the committee, said that he and hie
colleagues considered it the more proper step to gain what in.

went to the inditaintote• They, doubtless, saw there a vast

factored Spitalfields or Bethnal-green. The sale Of those
articles was now going on, and according to the bonding ays-
tem the purchasers by paying a weekly storage until the btir
of' Yoly, can then bring them into the market on a duty of Utt
per cent. 's Front the .6th of July, theretore, the French will
possess themselves of the fancy and flowered branch, and Of
Company's silk, followed in their train, will possess the staple
trade, getting the entire market in their hands, while our looms
are fitile.! ~Having obtained this Information, he said " We
thought it prudent to proceed at once to his Majesty's Mini-
sters, who received us with much politeness, and after hearing
'a-short statement of our distress, inquired as to its cause ? We
replied, that it arose from the new regulations.' lie asked why
we attributed our distress to those regulations. We answered, -
that it differed from the distress experienced -on former ocaae
*ions, inasmuch se we had it from the best authority that peo•.
ple will not buy, hut are endeavouring to dispose of their'
stock, in the hope of being ablerto purchase French goods at a
cheaper rate after the ath of July. He asked us, w-liether we
thought the duty too high or too low ? and said, if we had any
proposition to make, it would be taken into consideration. 1,4*-0
answered that we thought the duty both toe high mind too
10w..:, Too high, as it acted as a bounty on smuggling, and
too low for our preservation. lie said he thought it' was` so
planned as to prevent smuggling. We replied, that under
the newiegulations, smuggling would be carried to an Went^
never before known, as 'detection would then be almost
itinpoetiblee but as the law stands at, present, if such goods
wte,e. got into, Ike country, they would be considered contra-.
batxd,and" there:We seizable, He then assured us, that Go.

Consistent.,, that the door of applieatioo WAS open for us, end
that we might at all times make our gtievances knoWn. 'Upon
ibis we tank our departure." Mr, Wallis then passed to the
consideration of the many advantages the French enjoyed over
this country, in the disproportion which existed between thy
prices °flood, fuel, and manner of 'living in the two countries,
and also their possession of the raw material. Linder such cit.
cumstances, be considered that atl per cent. could not be a Mr.
ikient protecting duty. ft would be highly necessary, he said,
that their memorial should be accompanied with a statement of
the number of looms unemployed. It might be ascertained in
one day, anti he trusted there would be volunteers sufficient to
Make a return by Monday next of the idle 'Moths in their 're-.
speeds's° districts. Such a return, he hoped, with the unheard.
of increase of pauperism amongst them, would induce
sters to do something for their amelioration ;' but for his part he
was prepared for the worst. The weavers had challenged in.
quiry, they had offered to go into proofs, but their offers were
refused, and the system seemed still to be persevered in against
then). He would respectfhlly implore his Illajesty's Miiiiatere
to reflect seriously before they should, at this inclement season,
throw the tens of thousands engaged in the silk.trade on the:
parishes for relief; and he would call upon the resPedive
parishes to come forward now and join them in the prayer of
their petition ; for if' they neglected to do so, the next petition
to-Ministers would be front the parishioners themselves, pray-
ing for a removal of the poor.laws, es they might justly ex•
claim they felt incompetent to bear their pressure.—(Greet

such were the ease, they. would see their influence in applying

fully proved, then let us put their pledge to the test." They
might, he said, endeavour to put them air by saying, in the
words of thepoet,

"Partial evil is universal good."
but he would say-the silk-trade was so deeply. connected with
the best interests of the country as, to defeat the expectations
of the poet. He would recommend peiseverance in their en-
deavours to obtain an amelioration of their condition,
The memorial prepared by the Committee gave a melancholy
account of the at and constantly increasing distress and peel-,
perism to which the weavers ofSpttalfields and Bethnal-green
have been reduced (as it states) bt the removal or the lawe
prohibiting the importation of foreign silks.
The memorial was couched in the most respectful language,
and was unanimously adopted by the meeting, amidst Immense
alerting. _ . _

Nearly 1(4) persons came forward, and undertook to procure
an account of the number of looms unemployed as gtl.ggested

LITERARY NOTICE.

JUNIUS PROVED to be BURKE; with an Outline of

his Biography.
A new work lies just started with this title, ,
and its pretentious are ut least as strong, if not
-stronger than any of its Predecessors in the same
voyage of discovery. It is evident that the
writer 'of this work was as intimate with the
history anti character of Btu; art, probably from
..personal intefeourse a's he appears to be con-
versant with the memorable Letters of ..luNrus,
which he here decidedly ascribes to the great Limb
Orator, the ornament of the British Senate, awl
of British Literature. The author analytically
traces BURK E and JUN I us. He compares what
he had written with what he had spoken,
and altogether seems to have afforded a more
probable developement of the secret, and more
satisfactory evidence on the subject, than have ap.
Peered in all former publications of the same
tendency. JUNIUS, like the ever-interesting
-question of The Tread, will secure the attention
•of mankind as long as poli►ics, poetry, literature
in general, and, we may add, the British Consti-
tution, shall exist. We have no room for ex-
tracts at present, but we confidently recommend
this interesting work to the attention of the
friends of literature, of departed genius, and of
Abair country.

BRITISH SPIRITS.-ENGLISH MARKET

(From the Glasgow Courier.) -
We are able to lay before our readers a car.
Tect account of the demur that has arisen to pre-
vent the free introduction of British Spirts into
the English market. It proceedS from the Dis-
tillers putting one construction upon the Act, and
we think the right OHO, and the Getwral Board
of Excise anotber. The object is to guard
against the chance of the Scotch Distiller, who
get a drawback of Qs. per gallon on Malt
'Spirits .in Scotland, from mixing these with
Grain Spirits, and then sending the mixed spirits
of England, where the distiller ob►ains no draw.
~back, on Malt Spirits. It is satisfactory, how.
,ever, to state, that the objection was not suffered
to extend to, or to interfere with the Grain and
INlalt Spirits, sent to England, and banded during
the last quarter ; but the construction put upon
the act, and the order issued by the Board of
Excise,.in consequence, has paralysed the trade,
and prevented the Distillers for the motneut from
forwarding any more spirits to England, till the
difficulty is cleared up, and removal, which it is
iexpected will soon be. The Distiller conceives
that, by the act, he may clear out spirits, for
'the English market, from his warehouse, provid-
-big he has only the kind of spirits, malt, or grain,
which he clears, out at the time,_on his hands.--

The Excise think differently. The following is
the clause of the Act on which the difference of
opinion rests, and to it we annex the substance
the instructions issued by the Excise on the
SUbjeCi. •
" XCIX. Provided always, and be it further enacted, That
.ron Spirits which shall toe or shall have been made or distilled in
:Scotland or Ireland respectively from unmalted Corn or Grain,
mixed or unmixed with Malt, shall be taken out Of any Ware-
house, Store, or Place, for removal to England, unless such
Spirits were made or warehoused by some Distiller, having, at
the time when such Spirits were so made and warehoused, no
Spirits made from Malt only, or on which any allowance shall
be or shall not have been made in respect of the Duty on such
Malt in his or her Stock or Possession, or in such Warehouse,
and which shall be so certified by the proper Officetat the time
. of warehousing, and also at the delivery thereof."
