AolleCLTrital. DISTRISS.
Earl STANHOPE held a Petition, signed by six or
wren hundred posers and occupiers of land ire the
lenity or Kent, who cousplaimed of Agricultural Dis-
tress, and prayed for Relief and the reduction of the
Tue.. He did met think it arweesary to enter at kepis
epos thine topics, as they were so be discussed es Time
Aar, and he hoped there wooffil be. oppertasities to
iNuire into the causes of that and oexampled
distress shieb now prevailed. fir gd. sot agree with
Mae who attributed it to the great importation of corn
whirb had taken place some years ago, few its oPertatine
coif sot Lee lasted so long. and the prices were higher
vies it lasted, tbao they were now. Neither was corn
the sole produce of the country which had bees reduced 1
is raise. Cattle was equally depreciated, sod yet there'
hid been and could be no importation of foreign cattle.
Sew astistained that excess of production and not ex.
efts./ importation bad occasioned the existing distress',
Ist the real cause was one much more natural and more
difficult to ressove--excess of taxation. The Prices
were the same in 1792 as they were at present, sod
lime was no distress, because °sly 16 or 16 nslllioss
were Men raised in taxes, whereas the atoormess sal. el
55 millions was now levied hoes the people. The Basel
digress existed in Mier commies. when taxation heir-,
wig se just proportion to their mammal swam, was is-
lewd to support great military establishments. Wire-
rihi time of peace. The only remedy was to redact
public bombes* to the same amount as the value of
*esteemy had bens lowered. For that purpose the
iettrftt ef the national debt most be reduced 30 or 50 ,
ti's met, and if any such proposition was made, be
'be* he ready to contend that the measure was a jest
*kW involved no breach of public faith. The re-1
,ftss had been described as flourishing, bat it bad not
tom stated whether the taxes were paid by the people
ell of their eapital or out of Its prodoce. He believed
that is a short time they would not be paid at all. He
'INS epos their Lordships to passe sad meditate be-
fore they ventured on that fetal measure, the resomp-
nee of Cash Payments. If it were attempted to force
it into execution, nothing bet national bankruptcy could
ekes. He iotreated their Lordships to look at the state
sf Ireland, which did not arise from political or reit-
r dines, but from that distress which bad originated
mall% when the wants for resuming. Cash Payments
was adopted, lie iotreated them, in justice to all the
ire, tc imerests whirl, were at stake. in justice to the
'e who were suffering so deeply, to torn their mind
to dia.' Abyss of ruin, now open at their feet. They
*teed o t,the brink of a precipice, from which it might
be saible to retreat without difficulty, but beyond
;web .1, 7 could not retreat without ruin and destrue-
iZe. Th, %AA. Lord concluded by moving that the
