Wise appeared, villa increasing, in corinquebee of the :
Orders in Council: At te the shipping interest, he',
contended that the AMericons wonld; to-merrow,
take away-one-third of the-carrying trade, now ear; 'I
tied on in British ships, lithe Orders in Council were ,
repealed, and the Frettch Deekett in force. And he'.
would pit it to the House whethei a maritime coun-
try, that depended [or her existence cat* navy, ought
to give up any poet of such an adiaMage. The
French formerly had a considerable trade to South
America which they had since entirely lost. This
trade they could revive, were American ships el- I
lowed to go atilt carry away their commodities. The'
Right Hon. Gentleman read' certain documents, to I
slew that we gained as much by our trade now to
the'Sortth of Europe as we had lost by the shutting of
the Northern Ports against us. - As to the Orders
themselves, it was by no means the unanimous opi.
Mon of the merchants of this country. that they were'
detrimental to our commerce, for four-fifths of the
merchants of Glasgow were ot opinion that they I
should not be repealed; the merchants of Bristol were
unanimous in‘ that opinion, and those of London,'
with theexception of very few, said the same. When'
so large and respectable a body were of opinion,
some of them that--the repealing of these Orders
would be a death-blow re the commerce of the coon- I
try, and others that it would be highly detrimental to
it, he felt some consolation in the arduous duty he
had to perform. Could it be successfully shewn, that
the nation would benefit by the repeal, he would feel
much satisfaction and pleasure In consenting to the
measure; but until that happened, he would remain
firm in the belief, that it was necessary for the well-
being and prosperity of the country that they should
be-continued.
- Mr. BARING feared. from the sort of attention
which Honourable Meetbers seemed to gieothis rub-
ject, it was not likely to receive so much coneidera-
tien a* its imp ortan2e deserved. It was not, how-
ever, his intention.to go; through the evidence as the
Right Hon. Gentleman had done, for unless Gentle-
men had perused it at home, it would be impossible
for him to impress upon them a due sense of its ex;.
treme importance. These Orders had existed for
:several years, during which time there had been va-
rious opinions respecting it ; and now we were arrived
at a state cf unexampled distress it would therefore
be first to be enquired whether that distress, watt at-
tributable to the Orders in Council i and if so, whe-
ther there were likely to arise any beneficial effects
from- other quarters to counterbalance that great evil.
it had suited the Right Hoti. Gentleman to shift his
gvound on thlecetestion : atone time it was-a retalia
tory measure, at another it was not, btit a measure
purely-of a commercial nature. Proteus-like, he fast
said it was retaliatory on France, and then he argues it
as a great commercial question. But the Right Hon.
Gentleman had not shewn how these Orders had been
injurious to France, if they were meant as retaliatory
cm her destructive Dectees against our commerce.
What had been studiously avoided in the examination
on their part, had been, not to get into any difficulty
about the Oriisrs themselves. But it seemed to have
been the object of the other side to puzzle the vile.'
nesses, by making them chew that they did not k. ow,
the difference between the Orders in Council of dif-
ferent periOds. The first and greatest difficulty pro-
duced by the Orders was the American Non-Inter-
cotirseeketa and 'he would contend, that the repeal
of the one would and- mast fo.low the repeal ot the
other. •Tee Right Hon. Gentleman had said the wit-
nesses Were pour and indigent manufacturers, • Whoa)
some designing men had told, that their distresses.
were owing to the Orders in Council. Now they had:
ermined eighty master manufacturers, each of then*
employing from four to 'fifes' hundred hands ; these
were not very likely to be veryindigent manufacturers.
These persons stated the uniform distress to which
their manufactures are reduced—few of .them beirtg
able row to employ above half their 'hands ; 'end

rib be taken en the petition. It was salt that the ttada
te he injured By the repeal of the Orders in Council
was the trade to Canada: Now, the whole of that
amounted to 8900,000; while that to America was IS
or 14 millirnss • beside!; bow little of atia £900,00(!,
would be lost By the repeal of these Orders, in cob).
ptrison of that Which would be gained by the trade
to America. The great point was, that if ibe
pealed our Orders, France would tend out her mine. •
factures, and receive raw materials; besides she wOdlti
receive cotton, coffee, and sitgra• froth Cuba.
Nowise did not think it liberal to our *allica to make
them suffer as well as ourselves. It was a pol;cr
which we cote* to be ashamed of shewing. But
they ought first to have shesitt that Cuba 'does not
now carry on that. very trade, receiving linen and
silk from France, and the ports under her, and
giving sugar in return. This he probed from the
evidence of Mr. Marryatt, that in 1810, three
Americans came to Cuba with tint and linen front
Trieste and from Touningen. With respect to tire
Inetch manufactures, there was no doubt but that, -
if, 'be trade were generally open, they would, in
some things, undersell us. Our policy was, thereftteaf sea
a greediness of having all to ourselves. If any
country had any advantage, we c Anse with an all
force to destroy that advantage. Bit the great objeet„
of a commercial country ought to he, to throw aft
things open.,; and, if that was done, we must succeed
beyond all others, partieularly France, from our coma.,,'.
merCial habits, from our having such capitals, amt..
above all, from the advantagesof a free country.....:'
The invariable answer of all the witnesses was, thidtit:'
they were not afraiJ of the rivalry of any country
the world, if they had only a free trade. This was e.
point on which they all spoke diainctly, and there.-
fore he thought there was no occasion to dread the !
competition of a little French in tnufacture. It was
in the Brazils, from the habits of the people, and not
in America,ahat we should meet with that compe.
tition ; but surely it would not be too much tl ask
the Court of Portugal' to give some discriminattner
difference, so as to allow us the preference. The
House should be aware, that, on the side of the peti-
tioners .against the Orders, there had been the evi-
dence of facts ; but, on the other side, Government
had brought down men who gave mere opinions on
the Orders, and -shio made speeches backing the opi-
nions of the Government. Anothereiery material
circumstance for the House to consider was, the rising
manufactures of America, to which resource we had
driven her ; and he here read a letter from the agent
of a Manchester house, stating, that if the Non-inter.
course Act continued three years', Manehestergcods
need not appear in Anterica. He could assure the
House, that there was no other point in dispute on this
part of the Americans with us except these Orders in
Council, and that if they were repealed, each-trident
must instantly rescind the Non-intercourse Act. It ,
appeared that we were grasping at the shadow, and'•
losing the substance-=that we were losing a great
deal to secure a little.
