H. • s'iould not trouble the House with the particulars
of the increasing importation from that year to the
sot, but should state, that in the sear 1827, the quan-
tity had increased to 194 000,000 lbs. He would,
therefore, ask any Honourable Gentleman, who should
attend to those figures, whether he could conceive
it possible, that if the United States had adopted in the
year 1815 the plan which they had now enforced,
would be in the power of this country to imi•ort
from the United States so large a quantity of cotton
'n the last year as 191,000,000 pounds?—(Hear hear).
The exnortation of that article to this country consti-
ured three-foorths of the whole exportation (ot cotton)
of the United States. Now, if America were to have
enforced a prohibitory system in 1815, what would the
consequences have been to her when her general export
:rade to Great Britain constituted fu.l one half of her
sn:ire exports? Why, the consequence would have been
that our imports from America would have been dimi.
rished to the amount of our imports from France.—
as he had already said, the trade of America
IrSiund one half of the entire of her commerce with the
whole world, our trade with America constituted only
one sixth of our commerce. It ought to be, therefore,
consideted by those who had rendered retaliati. n neces-
sary, whether that was a safe game to play ?—(Cheers).
It was impossible to advert to the growth. to the rapid
increase rf our importation of cotton from America,
without adverting also to the increase that had taken
',lace in the home consumption of this country. Ac
cording t r the best accounts that he cosld refer to
respecting the cotton trade of this country in 1818, he
found that about one half e f all the cotton manufactured I
in Coe ..t Britain was consumed at home—amoebae ha 1.
was exaorted. Now as the importation had more than
doubled within the last ten years, he was justified in
calculating that the home consumption had proportion.
ably increased. That increase had its origin'partly in
an improved mode of manufacture, partly in our in-
creased skill; but (and he felt happy in being able to
state the fact) it had also been caused by the increased
power of consumption by the people, and consequently ( f
:heir comforts (Cheers). From the same results it would
appear that the consumption of cotton had increased,
and was increasing, in every part of the world—a cir-
cumstance which he hailed as a proof of the increased
comforts of other countries, consequent upon the long
period of peace which Europe had enjoyed; and he re-
joiced in the increased happiness of other countries
nearly as much as he did in our own—(Hear). Should
America, therefore, shut herself out frons that country
which was the emporium cf European 'commerce, the
commerce of Great Britain must go on increasing, as
it was already increasing, with the Continent of Europe
—with Asia—with the immensely popular islands of,
the Asiatic Sea—(Hear, hear). If America should like
to go on as certain persons went on in another place
respecting the trade in wool—(A laugh)--the conse-
quences be on her head. The growers of. wool
were dissatisfied at the price of the article; • but
bow could the woollen manufacturer expect that his
commodity should maintain its price, now that cetton
manufactures had fallen to onescrorth of their former
price? And he should, fir the satisfaction of those
persons, remark, that nothing could be done better cal-
culated to raise the price of wool than an increase in
tie price of Amer ican cottan ; for, as the pricer f cot-
ton manufactures would advance. so also must the-
consumption of woollens be increased. No man could
deny the increase and improvement that had taken
place in our agriculture —no man could deny that
our flscks in number and quality had increased and
improved—yet no man could say that the export of
our woollen manufactures had not kept pace With
that of cottons, notwithstanding that we now imported'
annually 30,000,0001b5. cf wool. The madness of pre-
venting the import of foreign wool could only be ex-
ceeded by the infatuation cf America in seeking to pre-
vent the' export of her cotton, her staple commodity.
Alter what had passed in 1815 he could not help-feel-
. ing regret at finding himself discussing •such a subject
as that now under considerations What ltl occurred
in 1826 with respect ro the inter course of Great Britain
with the British Colonies in the West Indies? He (Mr.
ffuskisson) had, in the disthargeof his slaty, introduced
into that House a Bill, Which. threw open the British
Colonies to all other countries on certain conditions,
namely; those of a reciprocal concession in favour of
the trade ot Great Britain. -Btu the. United States,. in-,
stead of acceding to those terms, and conceding the prin-
ciple of reciprocity, insisted on the maintenance of tire
previous import duties, while they availed themselves of
our liberality—(Hear, hear). . For as entire year did
this country submit with patience-he would say with
ton mach patience—(Hear, hear) to the vexatious im-
positions directed against our trade by the United
States; butat the end of that year his Majesty's Minis-
ters advised his Majesty to revoke, as respected Amer
tics, the measure of which he bad just spoken, and to
prohibit that intercourse which we had so freely and so
liberally tendered to the United States, in common with
all parts of the world—a measure of concession, of
mote insportance, of snore advantage, to the United
States, than to any other country, on account of their
vicinity to our West India Colonies--(Hear). At length
America made a tardy proposition to accede to our
terms, but our course had been already taken. In ad-
vising his Majesty to issue that Order of Council which
prohibited the free admission of the produce of the
United States t 3 our West India Colonies, he (Mr. Hus-
k sson) gave that advice with extreme reluctance=
lie gave it with extreme regret; but when forced to
retaliate, or rather to rescind concessions, from the ne-.
cessity for protecting Air own commerce, that line of
policy being forced upon us, it became our duty to
vindicate rut own honour, to maintain our own
rightr, to defend our own interests; and having resolved
to du these, it became equally the duty of the country
to support its resolve with firmness and perseverance—
!Load cheers). With respect to the present tariff of the
United Stater, he should say as of our o:der of Cokincil
s-" Do not be hasty in retracting it—consider well the
subject to all its hearings—look to it as it bears upon
the interest of the country"—but if forced by circum
stances, atter mature deliberation, to take a course of
ret.hation, all that it behoved the King' Government
to do was, to come to a fixed determination to perse-
vere in that measure with firmness and decision ; ant[
[continued tree Hight Hon. Gentleman) if it shall be
su nersetiered have no feats for tire rest—(Loud
gird continued cheering). He had now conclude,
cis übs.iv.tions with which he meant to preface his
t'ssion f o an humble Address to his Majesty fur copies

Piesent t.e god and the next Session ( f Parliament, it

he thought was a better and a wiser system—(Cheers).
The Right Honourable Getleman.c.included by moving
that an humble Address be presented. to his Majesty,
prayinglhat lie would hegraciously plessed to direct that
there be laid before the House, a co. y ,if the Tariff es-
tablished by the UniteJ States of America in the present
year—together with a copy of the Tariff of 1824, and
copies of all reports that might
have been received from
his Majesty's Minister in America, so far as might be
consistent with the public service.

Mr.HUME complimented the Right Hon. Gentleman
upon the nature of his motion, the clearness of his state-
ments, and the force of his arguments,
in many of which
he concurred. The Right Hon. Gentleirlan had expressed
his surprise that a country claiming for itself so much
liberality of principle as the United States did, should
have refused w meet this country on the principle of
reciprocal freedom of trade. But the Right Hon. Gentle-
man seemed to forget that which rankled more than any
other subject in the breasts of the Americans—rur pro-
hibiting the impoit rtion into Great Britain of that
greatest staple commodity of America—her corn.
Why had we not set an example of liberality to Ame-
rica, by allowing free importation of corn ? The Hon.
Member then proceeded to contend that measures of
retaliation were unworthy of this great country—that it
left to herself, America would soon see that her own
interests called for a different system from that which
she had adopted. That the loss might not be exclu-
sively to America, new channels for her commerce, pew
markets for her produce, might offer themselves—that
to our Colonies in particular much injury might arise,
and that, in short, it would be most unwise to incur
loss and injury for the purpose of inflictirg thign upon
the United States. He would call upon his blajesty's
Governmcn', in consideration for the liberal portion or
,the licited_S:ates, who were hostile to the Non-inter-
course Tariff, to pause before perseverance in a system
of totaliation were resolved on.

Mr. Secretary PEEL did riot object to the motion of
his Right Honourable Friend, as be was sure th It great
advantages would arise from laying on the table of the
House the tariffs of 1824 and of 1828, and such as
documents as, without exciting any dis-
agreeable feelings, were calculated to explain the object
of the tariff. The late tariff did not, in his opinion,
merit the character of a retaliatory measure, which had
been given to it by Lis Right Hun. Friend. It would be
strange indeed if the Americans Mete to adopt a reta-
liatory trtern of exclusion against us in the very year
that we had relaxed our restrictions on foreign com.
merce. The object of the United Sates was to encou-
rage their own manufactures, and on that ground they
vindicated the tariff. He hoped, hoa ever, that the good
sense c f the United States, as well as the sufferings con-
sequent on it, would induce them to abarloon it. The
Hour suable Member for Aberdeen had recommended
tie opening of new markets for our manufactures, but
this could nut be done without showing
an injurious
preference for the productions cf such places over
those of others. Tne present conduct of America might
however be of use, in laying the foundation of a more
extended trade with new markets, such as India. It was,
hoWever, too much, tnat if States excluded our produc-
tions, we should continue, nevertheless, to adopt and
show them a favourable preference. This was carrying
liberality to an unreasonable extreme, and he should
protest against such a doctrine. America had forfeited
all claim to fa vcur from us, and it would be good po-
licy to teach her arid other foreign nation-, that if foreign
nations excluded our productions. we bad the power to
exclude theirs. It was impossible that the reciprocity sys-
tem could be observed towards a nation who took every
favour from us and gave us nothing in return. He should
protest against Government being pledged to adopt any
such course. He had no wit fetidly feeling against Ante.
ricamche rejoiced at her prosperity; but he would tell her,
that the very grounds on which she passed this measure
formed the. strongest reasons against it, and if she did
not abandon it she must suffer severely in her revenue
and her commerce. He wished also that other coun-
tries would understand that all nations that gave tree
admission t r our productions were entitled at oor hands
to a favc urable preteteoce over those nations Who ex-
cluded u . He agreed with the motion nu thesigrounds,
and in the desire of establishing a liberal and friendly.
intercourse between this and I ther countries. He hoped,,
however, that the House would adopt no measure un-
'cler the ir.fluence of momentary feelings, but proceed
to tip consideration of this important subject in a spirit
of calm arid grave deliberation.
Mr. TRANT expressed his satisfaction at the speech
of the Right Hun. Secretary for the Home Department, and trusted
that this conduct of America would induce the Government to
cultivate the capabilities of the East Indies, which he was sure
could he wade to supply England with all she usually imported
frog; America.

Cr

Mr. ROBINSON thought the principle of conduct
recommended by. the Hon. Member for Aberdeen a most extraor-
dinary one. He agreed that we ought not to retaliate on America;
but it would be most impolitic in us to allow her to dictate to us the
terms of our trade with her, and to attstain from the right we pos-
sessed of regulating their trade with us. As to the effects of the
interruption of the American trade with our West India Colonies,
it was most advantageous to Canada, Nova Scotia, and Byrtnude.

Mr. ATTWOOD WAS of opinion that the American
tariffwas a violation of the conventions entered into with this comitry.
Mr. STEWART declared his satisfaction at the sen-
timents of the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Yeel) and the general
tone of the discussion. So long as we admitted American pro-
duce at a nominal duty, and that they excluded ours, we were in-
flicting an injury on our Colonial trade, particularly the shipping
I interest.

Mr. GRANT said that the tariff was against the
spirit, though not the letter, of the Convention with America.—
The United States presented a strange Fpr c t acle. While the old
nations of the world were releasing themselves from the vexatious
fetters that restricted their trade, America, with all the advantages
Qf the experience of her own and other coantries' trade, was re-
plunging herself in all these antiquated and injurious restrictions.—
He rejoiced to bear the sentiments expresurd by his Right Hon.
Friend
licit•
Peel). If the United States persevered in this course
impolicy, she would be shut out from the advantage. flowing
from her trade with England and the rest of Europe, and injure
herself, not only in her commerce but her revenue, nineteen mil-
lions of dollars of which were drawn from duties on imported
merchandise- He hoped, however, that this country would act on
her own principles, ao4 nut hastily imitate America in adopting
against heron exclusive system, but rather one calculated to promote
a friendly isterouurse between both nations.

HUSKUSON, in reply, wished it tc) be under-
sttnid that he bad not recommended a system of retaliation, as
tome Gest/viten had supposed. All that he had said was, that this
country had the means of protecting her commerce, if America
continue to persevere in she system which she at present was main-
Address was agreed to.
Mr. HUME* -moved f a Return of the amount ( f
,Fafs :paid in the Prerogative Court, and not contained in the
Return of Jena. 1828; and also fur a Return of Proctors' Fees.—
the Judge in Ibis Court was. paid by fees, which he thought an
objectionable mode.
Atter a few words from Doctor Piskustoar, the motion was'

STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Our City politicians are sadly puzzled this morning to know the
cause of the Duhe of CLAIMCE being sent for by Express, and
various are the ideas on the subject : some suppose it relates to the
fitting out of a squadron for the Mediterranean.
The panic which rather prevailed towards the close of the Consol

off yesterday at 881 s, opened at 88 for the Account t at present

No business doing as yet of any consequence.
A Mexican Mail has arrived this morning, bringing letters from
the city of Mexico of the !.6th May, bj which we have the usual
repetition. No money is coming to pay the dividends, and their
finances are in'a bad state.

Consols have been fluctuating, during the morning, between 88a
to a and 88a for the Account‘and at present may be quoted at 83j,

In the Hoose of Commons, Mr. SrRING Rica made'
a few Observationi last night on the state of Ireland, by
way of a parting admonition to Government at the
close of the Session, that things were now arrived at
too dangerous a crisis to be allowed to remain as they
are. Mr. Maris a sincere and enlightened friend of
his country, and notwithstanding the threats of O'CoN-
NELL, we trust he will long retain his seat for Limerick.
But it most not be supposed that Government is inat-
ieorive to what is-going on, because no declaration has
been yet made by them of the plans they propose to
Adopt to pacificate lieJand.

The Paris Tapers inform us, under the head of
Osi:•ssa, 'bat the Russian Army is in full march against
the capital of Turkey—that the Turks are gathering
together all means by which they can oppose force to
force, and that the GRAND Vance was repairing to
Schumla go wait there t give the Russians battle. The
Ethperor NICHOLAS is therefore putting into execution,
with energy, the twofold object he has in view, viz. the

effectuating the Meaty of London, and the redress of'
his private wrongs, It was reported that the Mediation
or England and France had been accepted by the
SuLTara and the interview of Sir E. CODRINGTON with
Irotittsr PACHA previous to quitting Nav-arin, tended
probably to facilitate the renewal of the negotiations.
•• New York Papers up to the 24th June, received last
night, mention an arrival at that port from Rio Janeiro,
bringing the intelligence that hostilities between Brazil
and Buenos Ayres had ceased, and that the Brazilian
MiniAer had sailed for Buenos Ayres in a British frigate.

The Lisbon Gazettes received this morning, contain
advices from Oporto to the 6th inst int. Divisions of
troops attached to the cause of Don Mrcutt.' conti-
nued ti arrive in that city, and had proceeded to Minho,
f.,r the purpose of clearing the province of the Constitu.
ionaliits, a number of whom, together with the Gover.
our ot the province, had taken advantage of the amnesty
• lilted by MiGuEL, and surrendered themselves.

These Gazettcs, in reference to a notice which Captain
SA KTORIUS of the Pyramus, had caused ao be posted up
at the Exchange in Lisbon, stating that he was ready
to rec. ive on board, and convey to England, all subjects
f his 13ritarrnic Majesty desirous of leaving Portugal,
give the most solemn assurances of inviolable safety,
b ith to the persons and property of British subjects.
The following are extracts :
OPOItTO, JULY 6.
We stated yesterday that the faithful inhabitants r,f
the provinces had taken up arms against the rebels,'
making the most active war upon them, led by their
revective Generals, the most excellent Gabriel Antonio,
G.lspar Texeira, D'Alvnto da Costa, and Agostinhtl
Luiz, and by Colonel Raymundo, Governor cif Vianna.
All these illustrious persons) and others who took part
in their heroic deeds) deserve the highest praise, since),
by remaining firm in their districts, they did,great ser►
vice to his Majesty Don Miguel I. and to the country
in general, encouraging -the people by their presence,
and commanding same troops of the line and militia,
whom they collected to put down the revolutionists.
We also stated that many soldiers of the rebel army
have presented themselves in this city and other places,
to the faithful army of his Majesty, to enjoy the pardon
promised them; some officers have done the sante.—
The number of men of different corps who have pre-
sented themselves amounts to 800.

The division of the Royal Army, 'commanded by
Viscount de Pesqueira, began to enter this city on the
Scl, and continued to arrive on the 4th, amidst the same
demonstrations of joy with which the vanguard of the
division was received. The troops of the division inn.
mediately marched towards Minho, with others who
have already advanced, hi oilier to clear the country at
once, and receive those of the rebels who are dispersed.
On the entrance of the division, General Pesqueira
addressed an Order of the Day
.to his troops,
com-
manding the stria discipline they had observed hitherto,
and remarking, that their duty was a continuance of
subordination and discipline, love to their Prince,. and • •
valour in the field; and that the puriishont of the •
wicked belonged to the Magistrates,, with theappfica-
thin of the laws.
Many Royalist families have returned to this'eityr,'!:
with various individual*: who went in arms, again TO'
enjoy the peace and tranquillity, which they could not.-;
find:under such extraordinary circumstances and illegal'
proceedings of self-constituted authorities. The GO-,
vet nor of these provinces, Senhor G. A. T. de Castro,
and the Bishop of the Diocese, hive returned, and we
expect the legitimate Authorities, who have retired, as .
we btfire stated.

LISBON, JULY 8.

If a country enjoying tranquillity, as Portugal now
happily does, some foreigners, animated by a.revoln-
tionary spirit, arid leagued with the irreconcileable ene-
mies of the throne, and of the nation in which they re•
side, fearing to be punished according to the laws of
the country, whose hospitality they have returned with
hostility—seeing the ill success of their insolent machi.
nations, should require the protection of their Govern-
ment under captious pretexts, and concealing the true
reason of their fears—for the laws are clear,. and may
visit them with its just punishment ; sad if the comman-.
der of a ship of their nation should invite such persons
to repair on board it, to carry them to their owrt..
country, and save them from the just punishment.'
which they merit, who would judge such invitation to •
be a Declaration, or preliminary Declaration of War,
by the Sovereign of those individuals against. the
Sovereign of the country in which such revolutionists
endeavoured to assist factious and rebellious subjecti?
No body. Yet there are a few persons who draw this,
inference, from a notice porst!d up in the Square, in the
English language (most iMoler.t and uncivil), to invite
those who, undir such circumstances, might wish to
make use of an English ship at anchor in this Olt.
Who can reckon the number of fools, since. Scripture
itself says that they are infinite
JULY 9.—The notice which we mentioned yesterday
as having been posted up in the name of the Captain'''
of the Pyramus English frigate, was taken down in
course of the day, the impropriety of the measu.•
having been perceived. The Captain stated that.the,.
Consul General had called a meeting of. the British
Merchants, to consider of the best means for those who,
desired it, to leave the country with all their propei sr.
either in the ships of his Br itannic Majesty,. or
_some
other manner, announcing that he had orders from hid
Government to assist the British subjects as much as•
possible to this end.
In fret, the English merchants having met, their
answer to this invitation was such as was t' be, ex,.
petted from the honour and probity with which. they
all are animated, who do not belong to the small nut/
ber of Vie agents of Radicalism. They replied, that they
had no reason whatever to abandon the country wherl.
every apprehension having vanished that the civil war
excited by the rebels would produce -a new explosion,
transui4itt arevakkedibecanse foreigners were ptotected
