Parliament, I need not trouble you at any length. In former
times, the most illustrious advocates of commercial freedom
have been the representatives of Liverpool. The Policy of
gradually relaxing prohibitory and restrictive imposts, with a
due regard to the Revenue and a considerate reference
to established interests, has had your general sup-
port. The result has been eminently satisfactory in
the decrease of burdens, the improvement of the Revenue, the
extension of commercial intercourse, and the diminution of

an ample share, and has attained in amount of tonnage the
first position among the Ports of England. It is particularly

law to the varying requirements of a great and improving
people—these are the objects with which the name of Liver-
