It will be clear to all who have listened to the reading
of this petition, that the same principles are there laid
down which have since 1 d to the passing of the Bill I
have alluded co. Why have I laid so much stress upon
this petition? Sir, for two reasons—first, In order to
chew that if we have pursued this course, we have done
'so, not on the theories of visionaties, but on the
rvin'ons of merchants and men of business ; secondly,
Ta sheer that the me:chants of the City of London, the
great seat of the commerce and pecuniary stealth of the
country, lelt convinced that at that period of great
distress in 1820, the distress was aggravated by the re-
strictive system. We are told that. by pursuing this
systkm, we think of w•thing but aggravating the
distress, and Inciting human feeling as it se Were
