TO THE EDITOR OF TUBE SUN.

think the informant of your Corre-
spondent R. of yesterday must- be 'mistaken in
supposing that theinhabitants of Holland consume
only 15-35th parts, or one...seventh of the whole
protiee,Ol their rich and well Managed! soil, and
ttikt they call sell and exhort all the rest. If this
be true, it i, no wonder that the interest of mo-
ney with them, before the Revolution of France,
the alarm of liritaio, the wars of Europe, and
the wastes of Buonaparte, stood at about 2

rer cent. only, which is perhaps nearly its proper
latural rate, bit well secured, landed, or other

aiillUitY.

This requires, as it deserves, more inquiry, and
sonic clear certification of its correctness.

Of the butter and 'cheese only of these pro-
vinces, the statement herewith, your numerous,
agricultural readers, may,-I think, confidently re-
ly on, though more inquiry on statistical state-
menta., and some consideration of them, is always
prudent, as only absolute certainty can be safely
acted

North and, South Holland, Groningen, anti
Utrecht, make together, 140,000,000 of pounds
of cheese annually, 'of which their own consump-
tion is_not more than 7,000,000, or I•2oth put.

millions sterling per annum ! •

rich provinces of so small territory and extent, arc
produce, manufacture, and exportatioa, of about
43,000,000 of guilders, or nearly 3i millions
sterling per annum, for butter and cheese only;
and sometimes in the last 30 years these simple pro-
(lll6tiott3 of the soil,have sold fOr nearly double,
or alMi?st 7,000,0001.
Down
.to the yeti" 1780, the four kinds of Dutch
cheese sold at 255. to 50s. per 1001 b. less ; and
on a war with England declined in value full Bs.

vived. and increased its price from 1781 to 1800
the value of Dutch cheese continued to increase,
until, in 1815, it reached, for the coarser sorts of

Our Essex and other•fariner.s would do well to

visit ,
which is so near to them, and where
they !night still learn so much, particularly of graz-
ing milk-fauns : the cattle, of the finest kinds,

stand on their lands like sheep on our downs,
witituat number, and .sppear to be in tens of
thousands. Dairy.farms, on low lands, which can
he easily irrigated, make sure fortunes, in rents anti
profits, to the landlords arid tetlitotil. The state-
ments here given may be depended on, and lead
to much consideration ' they are of interest to our
siaterisland, and the dairy-tat meta of Cambridge
mid Wiltshire ; the produce of the soil is best, as,
it is the greatest of all riches ; ha labour, well re.
gulated, is the happiest ; lie, who makes two blades
of geese grow n here ooly one grew before, is the
true heoetactor of his ; but the li/twitter
must have sufficient wages, and the 'farmer a liar
price to support both, and encourage and defend
them in their useful and essential occupation,
without rents for the .lasollords, and profits, or
maintenance for the tenants of the soil, there
caonot long be collected tithes, taxes, and divi-
dend*. Cherish anti protect your cultivators---
the hest raw, material, and the first and greatest
of 'manufactures,, are the soil and produce :
the food, clothing, and covering of man, and the
athntrins and support of his life and increase.
From this statement, drawn up in Holland,
and circulated there with some authority, it is easy
to account for the desire of a free trade in these
articles with Biitain, for the consumption of her
great' Metropolis chiefly, to which the water car-
.ringe gives as ready facility, as froth Cambridge or
Wiltshire. The true policy, on this admiesion,
tree; Or with a iirptecting duty for our own prodoce
and, that of Ireland, will not he considered here
at this time, nor any opinion offered. The ana-
lysis and develnpement which shall dearly set ont
ail the general principles of commerce, and of
agricultural and 'laded economy, and distinguish
the bearing and effect of any peculiar and collateral
circumstances, to guide the regulation, would
go rar to determine many chime question* on trade
