of ( masons, respecting the Petition to Parliamc:tt adopted'by

No. 11.—(COPY.)
Red Lion-street, March 4, 10413. I
• Stn,—l am happy to explain the account I gave to you, at
my house, of the Meeting of the Protestant Dissehters of London
and its environs, at Re Cross-street, on the .2d of February, I
1/119, respecting the Petition to Parliament for " the Repeal of I
all the Pewit Statutes now in force on the subjeit of Religion."
I was present at the Meeting, and, with three other dtintsters,
opposed the measure. I have since ascertained that several
more were also decidedly ii.;ainst it; but we did not divide on
the subject. Adi visi.un had taken place at a former Meeting,'
rellecting the same Petition, which was presented to the last
Parliament. At that time it was found that !Jihad voted for it;
‘.. among whom I was one, against it ; and It were neuter.
I wish you, Sir, to understand, that we did not object to the
Petition itself but to ant. Petition being presented al tbi, time,
lest it should be considered as being in favour of the Claims of
the Roman Catholics. This was, however, expressly disavowed
by the movers of the Petition; which, in my opinion, was the
cause the motion for presenting the Petition was ca!ried. I have
since regretted that a motion of adjournment was nut made, as
I have no doubt it would have been supported.
This, Sir, is a plain statement of facts, which I have no dbubt
many who were present are ready to attest.
I am, Sir, with sentiments of. respect,
Your obedient Servant,
(Signed) JOSEPH IVIMEY.

COMMERCE.
The exportations of France, in 1812, are stated
o have amounted to 383,000 000;
The importations, not including 93,000,000 of
iecie, to 257,000,000.
The. excess of the exportations was therefore
5,000,0001.
This balance of commerce, in 1788, the most fa-
ourable ancient period, was only 75,009,000. -
If we seek to discover the cause of the increase
of our manufactures, and of our continental ' corn-
merce, we shall find it in the regulations of a watchful
and enlightened Administration,incessantly occupied
in encouraging our manufactures and every kind of
industry, guarding by prohibitions. our frontiers, and
preventing every kind of rivalry ; simple and uniform
laws prevent discusiions, and render transactions
certain and easy ; commerce everywhere finds the
same liberty, the same protection. Convenient
roads, numerous canals, facilitate and abridge con-
veyance. From Spain to Holland, and to Ham-
burgh, the largest carriages can freely pass; Amster-
dam and Marseilles communicate together by the
canals of St. Quintin and of the centre; the naviga-
tion of the rivers is brought to perfection, and is
maintained by daily labours.
England has, by her Orders in Council, denation-
alised all flags.
From that time there were no longer neutrals, no
longer regular maritime communications.
This period might have been critical—England re-
lied upon it ; but the vigilance, the ability, the ener-
gy of our Government, have made it an epoch of ame-
lioration, and it is since 1806 that our industry has
made the greatest progress.
• lint it will attain its highest degree of prosperity
when, under a Government such as our; with all
the riches of our soili all the activity of our manu-
factures, we shall' ourselves enjoy that peace which
is called for by the wishes of the world—that ho-
nourahleand secure peace which shall restore to human
industry all its development.
It is to the territorial situation which has been
just described that we owe the state of our
finances, the enjoyment of the best money-system in
Europe, the absence of all paper-money; a debt
reduced to what it !night to be, to supply the wants
of capitalists. It is this situation, Gentlemen, that
enables us to support at once a maritime war aid two
