TRINITY-HOUSE, NEWCASTLE, NIAT 16, 1820.

At a Meeting of the Merchants, Ship Owners, Traders,
and others interested in the welfare of the port of Newcastle,
holden this dai' in pursuance of public Advertisement,
GEORGE FOTHERGILL, F.,q. the Master of the Trinity

House, in the Chair.

This meeting haring heard with great alarm, that his Ma-
jesty's Ministers contemplate an alteration in the existing sys-
tem of foreign and British colonial duties upon wood, a mea-
sure which (when the ►magnitude of the various interests to
be affected by it is considered), appears to be pregnant with
the most ruinous effects to the country at large,

Resolveil Unanimously,
1. That Petitions be forthwith prepared and presented to
both Houses of Parliament, expressive of the feelings of this

:sleeting upon the subject.
2. That the Petition now read he adopted, and be engrossed

for signature,.
3. That a Committee be formed for the purpose of carrying
the intentions of this Meeting into effect, and that such Com-
mittee be composed of all the Committees of the Marine
Insurances of this Port, and of the Members of those Societies,

and that seven shall be a quorum at any meeting.
4. That tb 4i we and mode of presenting the Petitions, and
other measures to he adopted for effecting the purposes of the
Meeting, be left in the discretion of the Committee, who
shall also have power to appoint a Deputation, if necessary,
to attend the Board of Trade or Parliament, in conjunction

with the other ports.
5. That these Resolutions be published in all the New-
exitle Papers, and in the '..;ourier, Globe, and Public Ledger

iti exchange on the other, we slo.ll eventually gain
nothing, but are merely carrying our good, to another mar-
dret, while we are losing the market formerly afforded by our
own Colonies, and by such a measure benefiting States of op-
posite interests, awl altogether unconnected with us, at the
expence of one of the most valuable dependencies of the
British Crown.

Your Petitioners therefore cannot but press upon your most
serious consideration, the effects of a measure involving the
emplornent ant even the existence of so considerable a por-
tion of the British Community, and humbly trust that your
Honourable House will not think them unreasonable, in re-
questing that a portion of that protection may be extended to
them, which has been most extensively afforded to other
branches of commerce and manufacture, and to agriculture,

and which protecting regulations, proved, in those instances
so beneficial, (as a diseriwittating duty,) in this case will he
found absolutely necessary to ensure the welfare and increase
the prosperity of the Kingdom.
Your Petitioners therefore humbly pray, that your Honour-
able House will be pleased to tape the foregoing circumstan-
ces into your most serious consideration ; and that you will
be pleased not to allow any alteration in the existing system
of the duties on wood.
And your Petitioners will ever pray.

The last Private Letter from Paris, which sv°

the Corps Diplonsatique. We have receive('
another this day from the same quarter, but to('
late for insertion. It shall Certainly appear t°'

on the eve of a dreadful crisis, and never sevo a
