Debts, which is important from its semi-official character'
indeed, a portion of it has all the air of a Ministerial decll"l42,
tion. After an introduction, the object of which is to *Om,'
that the present duty of 10 per cent. is insufficient as a
protecting duty to the present manufacturers, and that, in ote''',
countries, where a duty of 15 to 20 per cent. upon fieeir,
linens is considered very moderate, the Debuts says:—
" The determination of the French Government to rs"
the duty on foreign linens and threads, excited complaints.:`
the British Parliament, and in the Belgian Chamber. Sir
Peel intimated that our wine-trade ran the risk of beini"
punished for any opposition made to the introduction of Eor
lish thread into France, and in the Belgian Chamber the
nister was violently urged to use reprisals towards Frew
trade, if Belgian industry was in any way affected. The.:
is nothing in all this that ought to surprise the country
the Government. Besides this latter has taken its deter:vies'
tion, and it is not threats that will cause it now to dre!
back. Rir R. Peel knows better than we do, that Frew'
wines are already taxed in England to the amount of 400 Per'.
cent., and that oar brandies pay the British Exchequer the
enormous tax of 700 per cent. It would be the extreme.,
folly to aggravate such a condition of things, under the pre'
text that with us a manufacture just springing into existeo".,
which we cannot do without—fur could we possibly give 11
the cultivation of flax and hemp ? which evidentli
wastes away under the competition of England, is about t_V,
be protected by a ditty of from 15 to 20 per cent, in place I'l4'

ought to be considered rather as a testimony of our admit'';,
lion, for which the English manufacturers should thank 901
Government. 20 per cent. ! Why, it is the minimum of 1111:
English tariff? England keeps up duties of from 20 to "!'‘
per cent. to protect her cotton and woollen manufactstree!)o
in which she is without a rival, and she is astonished forsoodk4
that we should endeavour to shelter our first attempts at line*.
weaving by machinery, by a duty of 20 per cent. ! Were OP
pretension put forward seriously—and we are confident
such will not be the case—it would deserve to be treated wit',
severity. But whether it be serious or not, we repeat t y
the determinatidri of the Ministry is irrevocable. As to 07,.,

chance of being benefited. We for our parts desire most er.,;t
neatly that she may obtain the exemption which she asks fop,:

have to say that a wise and indispensable measure is'aboeri,

and most intolerant selfi,hness, there is no bad consequence its

SIR OBERT PEEL AND HIS "GOOD INTENTIONs."7
At.the annual dinurr given by the Merchant Tailori',4.
Company on Saturday, sir Robert Peel, who was present/ ,P'j
took great credit to himself for the individual and 'col; .
•
I,,etou virtue of his Cabinet, and the "good intentions"
by which it was rctuated. This specious phra#nt
" good i‘ltentions," is the cuckoo-cry that has been re'
peated by every Tory Government. successivelll 4,
fin- the last seventy years and upwards.
was the " good intentions" of Lord North tbi
wrested the American colonies from our grasp. )
was the " good intentions" of Mr. Pitt that added severn.s
hundred millions to the National Debt, plunged us into:
a revolutionary war with France, and subsidized half the
kingdoms of the Continent. It was the " good inten-.
tions"of Lard Castlereagh that lost us all the advantari
we might have obtained from our triumphant position
-in 1314. It was the " good intentions " of Lord
Sid:outh that originated the massacre of the people 4
by wholesale at Peterloo. It was the " good intentions'
of the Duke of Wellington that gave rise
to the excesses-.
of So ing ; set fire to Bristol ; burned the Duke of New-
castle's seat at Nottingham' ; and placed the country na
the very brink of anarchy during the agitation for tb4
R,..form Bill. These are a few among the numervoce
public blessings that we have derived from the "god
intentions" of Tory Governments ; and, as if these were `.
not enough, we now find the "good intentions" of Sir I
Robert Peel developing themselves in the agree able form -of an Income-tax ! What shape, this
amiable and enlightened statesman's " good inten-
tions" may next take, it is impossible for us, to pre'
dicate ; but as they have already had the effect of in-
creasing the distress of the country tenfold, it is far from
unlikely that they may terminate in a national ,
bank-
ruptcy. Such a catastrophe, indeed, would almost seem to be the legitimate and necessary result of the “good
intentions" of a Tory Government !
