TIIE STATESMAN.

T

. LONDON:
?RUM T, JULY 8, 1814.

.11irst'agnin resume the subject of yesterday, on a
• Cntimitercial 'treaty with France, which our limits
dfd.iitit permit us to dilate upon so much as its tnani-
feet, importance deserves. As intimately connected
with this subject, the Petition presented by Mr. •
BLACKBURN to the House of Commons, on the tith
inst., from Manchester, for the repeal of the Duties
of 2d. per lb. on Raw Cotton, when imported in
British, and 3d. per lb. when imported in Foreign
Vessels, gate rise to a short but very interesting
debate. It enforced the prayer of the Petition by
stating, that no such duty was imposed on this arti-
cle in the Coutinental States ; that they had the ad-
vintage of labour and provisions being lower, and I
that it became impossible for the manufacturers of
tliii country to carry oft a successful competition.—
Mr. A. BARING said, it was his opinion, if this
duty were continued, the manufactures of this
country were in considerah!e danger of being soon
driven out of the continental market. He said there;
was no doubt, that from capital and other circum-
stances we had Icing been able to undersel the foreign
manufactures, notwithstanding living was twice as
dear here, and taxes so high ; but there was little
doubt that in time manufacturing capitalists would
emigrate to other countries where they could be'
settled more advantageously. The CHANCELLOR of
the EXCHEQUER said, as the sth of July next year
was the period to which the present duties were Ii- 1
mited, and as they formed so great a portion of the;
revenue, he saw no reason why they should be re-
pealed before that time. However, the blockade of •
America, the supply from Brazil afforded very su-
perior
advantages, and he saw nothing in a state of
peace to alarm the manufactures. Mr. FINLAY ex- ,
pected the CHANCELLOR would have assigned a
reason why • the raw material—cotton—should be
exclusively taxed. It was extremely impolitic; .
nod Sbeugh, in consequence of the agitated
state, the manufacture had maintained its superior.:
ity, yet the continuance of the tax daring the peace i
would disable competition. Mr. J. P. GEAR! con-
tended against the tax, and observed, that it was no
doubt true that many circumstances enabled a rich
country to sustain a competition with a poorer!
country, possessed of the advantage of cheapness of
hibour and provisions ; but this was the first time, he
believed, that it was tried to add to the disadvan-
tages of the richer country, a heavy tax on the raw
material. Mr. Pntwes, than whom no gentleman
in the House is better qualified for forming a correct I
opinion upon subjects of this nature, observed, that
the Minister well knew, contrary to expectation, that
peace had not brought any advantages to our menu-
factures, and that they were actually in considerable
alarm. It was novel to him that the war with Ame-
rica was advantageous to the manufactures. Several
Gentlemen, whe had examined into the state of the
manufactures of France and the Continent, were sur-
prised at the progress which they had made. Is France,
the lower sorts 'of yarn were successfully manatee-
- tared, and the step to the •finer sorts was easy. The
Nation was ordered to He on the table ; and from
