I
The following is the Report and Ordonnance on the
new linen tariff; extracted from the official Moniteur of
Monday last
REPORT TO THE KING.
Sire,—Grave difficulties press at this moment on one
oj our finest branches of industry—the' linen manufac-
ture. The King and the Chambers have heard the ex-
pression of its suffering, and the Government has con-
tracted with the Legislature, which has just terminated,
an engagement to come to the aid of this great interest.
France found formerly in her own production the means
of providing with ease for the immense consumption which
she had always had of cloths of flax and hemp, at the
same time that she exported to a considerable amount to
other countries. At present our exports are sensibly
diminished. The imports from abroad, which for twenty
years were stationary, now supply us with a constantly
increasing quantity of cloths and throw upon our
markets masses of threads, which in the space of ten
years have amounted, from 800,000-. kilogrammes, to
nearly 10,000,000, representing a value of 41,000,000 of
francs. We have even reason to fear that at the present
moment the arrivals exceed in a large proportion all an-
ticipations, as well as all actual wants. Such perturba-
tion, Sire, which is happily of rare occurrence in the
history of international commerce, has two leading
causes. Whilst the importation of cloth is affected in a
neighbouring country with an entrance duty of 40 per
cent., the mechanical means of linen spinning have been
in the same country practiSed with,a rapidity and upon a
scale which leave behind all the efforts refole by other na-
tions to partieipate in the advantages of this great disco-
very. The results of this revolution in manufactures were
naturally calculated to become injurkus to us, ac in France
a deep-rooted and extensive practice of spinning by
hand necessarily rendered the adoption of the new pro-
cess less prompt. Our new spinning establishments have
not, therefore, been able to support the shock of
foreign competition, and several of them have been com-
pelled to stop by the continually increasing invasion of
rival products. This is not all ; those threads in the pre-
paration of which the mechanical means employed per-
mit the use of textile material of inferiorquality imported
from India and Oceania, are substituted in our linen
manufactures for the productions of superior quality of
our own soil. The agriculturists of France, therefore, be-
hold the circle of their markets constantly narrowed both
at home and abroad, by the invasion of flax and hemp,
from other countries, introduced into l'rance, in the
state of thread or silk. The ruinous consequences of
this state of things 'extend to sixty-five of our depart-
ments, . in which the diffeient branches of the hemp
trade had hitherto supplied employment to a popu-
lation, having no other resource. It has become
urgent to apply a remedy. The law of the 6th May,
1841, had already attempted to confine within just
limits the competition of foreign threads in the
French markets: Desirous of proceeding in such a com-
plicated question with reserve and moderation, we then
hoped that a protection of from 10 to 11 per cent. would
be a sufficient guarantee for our manufactures. This
hope has not been realised. An extraordinary reduction
of price, the result of the progress of mechanical spin-
ning amongst our neighbours, and the use of less expen-
sive materials than ours,_ have overthrown the calcula-

MADAME D'AItIILAY'S DIARY.—The fourth volume
of this work, which is to appear in a few days, will, we under-
stand, considerably exceed in interest any of its predeces3ors,
as it will contain matters of much historical importance. The
most notable among these is the first attack of insanity of George
the Third, the most minute personal details of which are said,
now for the first time, to be given to the world, tr,gether with
the extraordinary conduct of the Regent expectant (the Prince
of Wales) under the•circumstances. Another remarkal, le fea-
ture of the forthcoming volume is said to be the trial of Warren
Hastings, with all the leading promoters of which Miss Burney
was personally intimate ; and we understand that her private
conversations with Mr. Wyndham on this exciting topic are
detailed verbatim as they took place in court, while the trial was
pra•ecding. Indeed, from all that we hear, the forthcoming
volume, and those which are to follow it, will give to the work
a degree of historical interest and value that no similar produc-
tion ever claimed.
The King of Sweden, says a letter from Stock-
holm, June 14, has published an ordonnance, signifying his
adhesion to the treaty of July, 1841, for closing the Straits of
the Dardanelles.

tions and expectations of the legislator. To check the
evil, an important augmentation of the present rate of
duty—an augmentation which for certain classes will
more than double it—is an indispensable measure. We

have the honour to propose to your Majesty to modify
in this sense the tariff established by the law of May 6th,
upon threads of flax and hemp. The augmentation of
the tariff upon threads necessarily leads to a similar mo-
dification in that upon cloths of the same materials, for
otherwise the equilibrium between the conditions of the
two co-relative branches would be destroyed, and our
spinners would have to suffer from what should preserve
the spinning trade. But it would not be sufficient to place
upon cloth the increase now proposed upon thread ;
we must also fall back upon the augmentation
of duty which it underwent last year, and of which at the
time it was not thought necessary to take account. The
ordonnance, of which I submit the draft to your Majesty,
meets this double necessity. Sire, we think that the
products of a bordering country in which the state of the
linen trade more resembles our own, might be excepted
from the measures which I have proposed, but the nego-
tiations entered into with Belgium, in order to secure for
us in return concessions in favour of our wines, salt, and
silks, not being yet concluded, we have been compelled
to postpone the exception until after the probable con-
clusion of these arrangements. Some rectifications of
the tariff of less importance, and some regulations, ac-
company these principal objects of the new ordonnance.
Our seaports will find in them several concessions, cal-
culated to facilitate the freighting of their vessels, and
to encourage distant enterprise. Thus the arrangements,
which we have the honour to submit to your Majesty, at
the same time that they will consolidate one of our oldest
branches of industry, will aid in the no less necessary
development of our maritime commerce.

We. have seen, latterly, frequent references, in the
English JoUrnals, to the conduct pursued by the autho-
rities of Belgium towards the boats of the General
Steam Navigation Company plying to Antwerp and
Ostend. We cannot believe the authorities, however
en :ions for the prosperity of Belgian steamers, would
he guilty of such ingratitude, such meanness, or folly,
as to countenance the disgraceful acts complained of.
Winter and summer, for more than twelve years, have
the Company's boats been plying to Ostend ; it is now
two years and more that the Company, to give every
facility and access to a thriving and commercial town,
ran a splendid and powerful steatner, the Rainbow,
to Antwerp ; she always performed her voyage in
two hours less time than any other boat on the sta-
tion; her fleetness and beautiful equipment induced many
to pass into Belgium by a long sea voyage, who would
otherwise have chosen another route ; tens of thousands
have thus passed into Belgium that would never have
trod its soil ; the Government must know, and though
in general they are not very mindful of benefits conferred,
still, we think they should not forget that the Company
has the means of revenge in its own hands, and can at'-
ford to punish those who would unjustly, ungratefully,
injure it. Let the Company reduce its fares one-half to
Rotterdam and the Rhine, or to Hamburgh, and charge
two shillings to Ostend and Antwerp, how many passen-
gers will patronise the Government opposition in Bel-
gium, or land there at all ? We love fair play, we de-
light in an opposition where the parties are equal, or think
themselves so; but every generous bosom, every English-
man will rise in wrath against an opposition where a Go-
vernment, forgetful of past benefits, would strive to injure
its benefactor, one, too, that patronised it when no other
would hold out a helping hand to its wants or distress.
Every Englishman, abroad, is under certain obligations
to the General Steam Navigation Company. Their
boats are safe, well manned, and, in general, commanded
by civil and obliging captains; those to this port are
particularly so. Faults are found with the charges; we
ourselves think that were they lower tkey would :gain
considerably by it, especially in the summer season; it
would also render any opposition hopeless, for when the
public think an old friend is only charging a remune-
rating price, they will not desert him for any new comer.
At the same time the public are justified, when they think
their interests injured, to support every Company or
every boat which they think calculated to promote their
object. Universally, however, the General Steam Navi-
gation Company are respected wherever their boats have
appeared, and we have no doubt that the paltry annoy-
once a few petty officials have throam in their path in
Belgium will soon disappear, and the fair play they de-
mand be wisely extended to them—Boulogne Gazette.

Journal I wish to draw the attention of the public at
large to the farce that is now playing with the gold cur-
rency, just as though the middle anti lower classes of the
community were not in sufficient difficulties at the
pregent time, with an, increase of taxation staring them
in the face in the shape of an Income and Property-tax—
a tax oral! others the most to be condemned, because not
needed ! Yet, with this vexatious proceeding, we have
another to accompany it—that is, a complete derange-
ment of trade by a late proclamation, declaring that
gold, under a certain weight, is not a legal tender,
thereby inflicting a ruinous loss on the already half-
starved mechanic, and as well causing great loss and in-
convenience to the tradesman. In my opinion a more
ill-timed proceeding never emanated from any Adminis-
tration, Whig or Tory, and to meet this act of the Go-
vernment I propose to the public generally, one and all,
to walk off to the Bank of England and its branches with
all the notes they can procure and demand gold that is
weight, and by which means we shall see how far their
gold will meet the amount of paper issued.
Liverpool, June 21, 1842.
