There are alto other articles of whole
lone food to which the attention Of your
committee has been directed, and thew en-
terrain comfortable hopes, that arrange
ments may be made, by which large quan.
titles OF nth, and other Ealted providons,
may be added to the fupply of the market
at tuch r~eatonably rates as may afford a
material fource OF relief. Your commit
tee mean to proceed immediately in this
part OF their enquiry, and will as early as
pofible fate the refult to the houie.
The ioPpage OF the ditilleries in Eng
land, at this early @feafon, will prove equ;-
yalent to the importation of at leaf
100000 quarters of barley-In Scotland
it is itatedas likely to be productive Of q
iaving of the fame article to a fill greater
amount, and the prohibition of the uCe Of
wheat in ftarch, may fave about 10000
quarters. By thefe meafures, large guam
titles of grain are left applicable to the
food ofman, which have mott in other years
been 70 employed; and your committee
have therefore thought proper to clafs
them under the fame head with importa-
ton.
Your committee think themfelyes au-.
thorled to place a comfortable reliance
upon the effect of the various meafures
above referred to, in increafng the gene
raj fuppiy. OF thelc the ENCOURAGEMENT
offered by parliament for the importation
of foreign grain, is undoubtedly the mott
important but, whatever expectations
may be r~eafonably formed, Of the great
extent TO which that encouragement COM
bined with the high price in this country
may carry ii, your committee think it their
duty to fate their decided opinion, and to
endeavour to impress that opinion, in the
ftrongeft manner upon the houEe that it
would be unwile and unfafe to place their
fole reliance upon ~refources of this defcrip-
ticn. Allowing Tor the probability that
the accounts before Rated Rejecting the
produce of the laA haryef, may be rather
below than above the truth; yet the ex-
haufted fate Of the old flock, and the un-
uiually early period at which the late
crop came into confumption, make it not
only highly advifeable, but irdifpenfbly
~necehary, as the mott efeefual means of
feeuring an adequate fupply at a %reafona-
BILE rate, to have recoure to the grcateR
economy, in every part of the country,
In the ufe Of thofe articles Of grain, upon
which the fubhfence Of each reflective
diariet principally depend.

expectation, that a recommendation, from

It has been aated to your committee,
by ieyeral OF the principal importers Of
corn, that the wheat of the prefent year, in
the North OF Europe, is by all accounts far
hyperion in quality to that of lat year in
Germany it is Represented as abundant
and though fcme leis favorable accounts
-ot later dates have been received from
other parts, yet it is aated, that little reli-
ance Is to be placed upon them, as they
have only become leis favorable Gnce the
deficiency of the crop in this country has
been the lubjeSt of fpeculation abroad: all
grain Except Rye has been uncomrnonly
abundant in mof parts Of Europe. The
haryeit In America both ofwheat and rice
mas been unu!ually plentiful. The indem-
nifylng bounty, now propofed to be given,
IS coniidered by thofe importers whom
your committee have examined as much
more satisfactory than what was granted
In the lah %feilion, and as likely to afford fill
more e~fectual encouragement
There feens therefore no reafon to
doubt, as far as depends upon the fate Of
the harvea abroad, and the probable ex-
ertlons of foreign and Britiih importers,
that the fupply may be fully equal to that
OF la1 year in wheat and flour, and in oats
and rice will confiderably exceed it ard
that in other articles, to which encourage
ment may now be extended, particularly
In barley and indian corn, a large addition
al fupply may be expected. Amongst thelc
your committee with particularly to direct
the attention Of the hcufe and country TO
the article Of rice.
The quantity Of feed to be derived from
equal quantities of rice and of wheat is in
a very greatproportion in favor of the for

N,fe


The undersigned having communicated
to his government the note dated the 10th
OF Auguit, forwarded to him by his excel
lency lord Grenville, is directed to fub-
NIT to him the following observations
Prcliminarics Of Peace had been conc]u-
ded and hgned between his Imperial ma
,eity and the French Republic. The In
tervention OF lord Mimic, who demanded
that England fhould be admitted to take
part IN the negotiations, prevented their
ratification by his Imperial maiefy.
The fufpenfon of arms which had taken
place foley in the hope of fpeedy peace
between the emperor and the republic, ought
then TO ceafe, and will in act-ceafe on the
18th fruetidor, nth of September, fincc
France had facrihced to that hope alone
the immenie advantages which victory
had iecured to her.
lhe intervention of England renders
the qucltion of peace 70 complicated. thar
It is irnpoiible for the French governmen,
to prolong farther the armiltice upon the
continent, unleis his Britannia maieHv
will content to render it 70 common to the
three powers.
II then the cabinet Of St. lanes de-
tires to continue TO make common caul,.
with Auttria, and if It's denre TO take par,
In the negotiation be iincere, his Britain
nc majeity will not hefitate to ADOPT the
prcpcicd armii}ice.
but II this armiitice be not concluded
before the 24th Fructidor, 18th Septem-
ber,. hG!tilities will have been renewed,
with Auitria, and the frit conful will no
longer be able to content, with regard 70
that power, to any buta ieparatc and COM
plete peace.
In order to fatisfy the explanation de-
aanded relative to the armiifice. The mn
deriigned is directed to acouaint lord
Grenville that the places which it is pro
poied to afiirpilatc to thofc Of Germany
are Malta and the maritime towns of
Egypt. =
Ii 1t be true, that long fi,fpcnnon Of
arms between France and England would
appear unfavorable to his Britannia maiefv
1t is no leis 70, that an armiftice prolonoes
upon the continent would be e{1ent;aIlv
advantageous to the French republ;c.

miitice would be to the French government
