too, involved in the greatest intricacy, and blended
with every material feature of our domestic condi...l
tion, and our relative situation in the great society of
nations. The Resolution, which was passed last
night, if nothing further should be done, cannot do
much harm. From the situation to which long and
expensive wars have reduced this country ; from the

high price of labour, the permission to export corn
