(di no sfriall pia we observe, from the Pro-
mrnals, which come daily to hand, that
;orner of the country continuos to be canva ,sed
most unblushing activity, in favour of that
Id ill-advised measure--the Priilion to raisr
of Bread. It would seem, from the tone
promoters assume, as if the very preserva-
inglish agriculture from ruin depended on
s of their present attempt to raise the price
to the staroation point ! But how far this
the case the Public may form a sufficient
on the simple fact, that although not less than
000 quarters of Wheat arts consumed iq this
the quantity imported averages little more
,op quarters. It is this mighty quantity,
500,01 X) quarters of Wheat, which, if these
ton emissaries may be believed, fills the
the foreign grower at the expense of the
zfish farmer, and is the whole cause in our
Y country, of uncultivated farms' and unpaid
Were this said wonderful quantity divided
the whole number of occupiers of land in
I, it would not afford more than -a quarter
of them ; and it is for this quarter, ostensibly,
occupici who puts his name to the Pal-
lake the price of Bread, would excite a
in the minds of the people, which may be
1 with the most serious hazard to the general
illity of the country. We say ostensibly—for,
ng to what the Petitioners set forth, nothing
icy from their intention than to obtain any
store than merely to be allowed to supply us
quantity of grain which we now receive
!bica.:—namely, the 500,000 quarters. But
Lca.lcts need scarcely to be told 4 that in
their purpose goes .a very great deal far-
eat it goes even unto what we have, in
of truth, termed the starvation point I

, icci object they have in view is to exclude all
'petition of foreign grain in our markets till they
' be able to raise the price of our own native
ice to just as high a point as it might be pos.
to raise it widiont utterly starrin the people, and
id which r.,irt it would, of course, be their eon-
care not to pass, least that grand retried), against
!ale monopoly—fmeign competition—should
admittance. No--no—it is not the little quarter
bet each whirl, they rant to add to their stocks;
rite tiwy are fighting tor is to raise the millions
limners which they already supply to double,
te, and, if they could, quadruple the price they
reccivP iinr them.

Le average gum:thy of foreign imports is, as we
r stared, a move trifle in comparison with the total

isurnption cf the country ; but those who know
thing of commercial competition, require not to
rtforited that scarcely any quantity of foreign
rr: is tGo small, when accompanied with the cer-
t ;:iat a hundred or a thousand times more than
quantity can be had if required, to produce thei
cf bringing the home-produce into the market
r and reasonable price.
sincerely hope, indeed we feel every conk
.ace, that these measures of a self-interested and
feeling faction, will meet with that ultimate dis-
temsture and disgrace which they so richly merit;
at the same tune we must not omit pressing on
;se ':ho ate friends of the poor and oftheir coon-
's prosperity, that it becomes them to leave no
per effort unemployed on their part to counteract
mischievous industry which they see displayed
those who are the sworn enemies of both t and_
at the inhabitants of every town in the kingdom,
ie sense and feeling of which are not monopolized
these professional monopolizers, the dealers in
flair and grain, ought immediately to follow the ex-
Iznple rf Manchester and other manufacturing
laces, by addressing Counter-petitions to Parliament,
'ra.:ing, that since the petitioners to raise the price of
read will not rest content with the restrictions which
))hate already extorted from the Legislature, even
tlx.se rw.rictions may be done away with, and that
tie markets for Grain and other necessaries of

ta7 be thrown entirely open, as all markets ought

be, the trade of which is intended to be permanently
bezeficiaL
