all restrictions on the intercourse siltioly shoal exist
among nations in respect to the products of industry.
This, however, cannot be the work of a day,
(thottgh it ought instantly to become the subject of
friendly communication among the Governments of
Europe) And till something caa be effected, treasures
of protection should be resorted to. This, however, is
very difficult, and deserves, great consideration. On
this subkct we subjoin a copy of a Petition addressed
to his Royal Highness the Panics R WENT, of which
a printed copy reached us this morning. It is en.
titled •' the hunsble Memorial of the undersigned,
being Manufacturers of 'Cotton Goods, and Work.
men who have been employed in the various branches
of that once extensive and important manufacture ;"
—And its object is to obtain a prohibition of the Ex.
portation of Cotton Yarn, on the idea that if Fo-
reigners could not get the Yarn which they weave
into Cloth, they would be obliged to buy the Clods
iron us:

"Tat linens MRIIORML,

"That your Royal High:leis% humble Memorialists vrbo
all occasions have proved themselves his Majesty's most faithful
and loyal sublects, are brought to the greatest distress, which is
every day becoming more poignant; and unless some aims of
relief be speedily devised. ow common ruin must involve both
Masters and Workases.

" Your Memorialists are wen aware that many classes of his
Majesty's subjeets bboar under similar distresses, with this dif-
(crepes,— their's have not bag exifted—our's have almust become
permanent ;--they have had constaos employment a.ld hill wages,
until withlo these few months; but the evils of whist* your Me-
morialists complain, have bass growing for upwards of fifteen
ran, till ibey have arrived at a dim= of unparalleled want,
misery. and win ! !I
a That the evils to which your Memorialists allude, may be
ascribed to one gftat cause, viz. the Exportation of the half-
wrought Material, aeTsvist and Weft. By this traffic, one part
of his Majesty's subjects work to enable Foreigners to do without
the labour of the otber part; aad hence their restrictive measares
against the finished Manufactures of your Memorialists. Ano-
ther evil arl.ing out of the above, la the frequent reduction of
Wages. Tide system must at di times decrease tke value of the
Stock on Bond, which is sometimes immense. The consequence
is, that the most wealthy of the Masters have either altogether,
or partly, declined this Manufacture ; whilat others, by repeated
sacrifices of depredated stocks, have- become insolvent. Hence
many thousands of Weavers are out oil employ; whilst those wbo
base work cannot, on an average, are more than Four Shillings
per Week ; and Iktis more than two years ago, for a shod period
(FerdguLoosna being prevented for /0111 e time from nsamsfactu-
ring goods from British Cotton Yarns, owing to their Country's
being then the Seat of War) they could earn Sixteen Shillings
and Sixpence iu the same thee.

" That since Peace took place, and the Looms were
set to work again wkklititish Yarns, Wages have been gradually
decreasing to their must ruinous !we ; nor can your Memo-
tlalists see any period when they can be employed again, so long
as Yarns continue to be sent WI of the kiugdolis in such Waren,
Ing.juan ti ties.

•' 'that tbr Cotton Manufacture has given employment aud.
support to many hundred* of thousands of persons in the United
Kingdom; iusd your Memorialists humbly presume has been of

considerable inspernsesce in • ilnaneinl point of view. tibial sucb It
spume!' our national greatness be removed ?--No !

" Your Memorialists trust,witb humble coufideuce, that your
Royal Highoess will be grsciously pleased to take the Above into
your Royal Highness's most serous consideration.

" And your Momorialirts will ever pray, Ste:
