A most interesting subject occupied the attention
of the House of Peers lastAight—the promised Mo-
tion of the Marquis of LANsuowx, for an inquiry
into the practicability of extending the relations of
commercial intercourse with foreign countries. ' The
debate will be rend with much interest. His Lord-
ship, in bringing the subject before the House, stated,
that he had no partial views in favour of particular
interests. The interests of the agricultural and Com-
mercial classes were mutual and inseparable—they
flourished or decayed together: even legislation itself
could not ultimately succeed in sacrificing the one to
the other; for the wants and interests of both bound
them together closer than any law.
In taking a detailed view of our commerce with
different countries, his Lordship was of opinion that
it would be advantageous to relax and enlarge our
commercial relations, always deferring to present in-
terests and even prejudices, and proceeding on the
principle of not sacrificing our own Manufactures to
Foreign, but of establishing such a modified recipro-
city as would extend the demand for them. As ad-
vantageous relaxation might, he thought, be made
with respect to France, by admitting French Silks,
but compensating our own workmen by a Puha-
' m►enruy Grant—and French Wines on the same du-
ties paid by Portugal and Spain. His Lordship al-
luded to other branches of cur Foreign Trade, and
concluded with pressing the cultivation of the mar-
-1 ket fur Di Irish Manufactures in Ireland, and esta-
blishing intimate relations of amity and trade with
the Independcm States of South America, which
could never return under the dominion of the Mo-
ther Country, whether governed according to the,
odious system that had happily ceased in Spain, or
by a better substituted in its place.
The Earl of LtrEnnoot. complimented the Noble
Marquis on the able and candid speech with which
he had introduced his Motion; and felt " a thorough
gratification in being able to agree in the general
principle on which the Motion was founded." though
he did not attach the same importance to some of the
circumstances urged in its support. Heagreed
_with
the Marquis in the opinion that there could be no
distinct interests in the nation :—all contrary opinions
were a misfortune, and produced mischief and injury.
To prevent the People from being misled or agi-
tated by wild theories, he wished Parliament to
express its decision without delay:—tell them what
Parliament would do, and what it would not do.—
His Lordship would not allow that either our taxes,
poore-rates, or tythes (though they had some effect),
were the main causes of our embarrassments; he
then, from Parliamentary Returns, stated many
facts relating to domestic consumption, and to our
export and import trade; and, in conclusion, argued
that the distress complained of was not peculiar to'
this country, hut common to Europe, and even fo
America ; but expressed a sanguine hope, that when
the evil of artificial capital and overtrading had cor-
rected itself, the prosperity of the country would fully
and shortly be restored. His Lordship, in reviewing
different topics connected with commerce, was for no
change in the Corn Laws—•tampering with them
would do mischief. On Foreign trade his Lordship's
opinions were liberal and enlightened, but he was-not
prepared to agree that the Duties on Fretich and
Portugal Wines should be changed, but he had no
objection to investigation.
In the House of Commons Lord MILTON'S Motion,
for Repealing the Duty on Wool, was lost by a ma-
jority of 74.
