than suficed TO feed her popu!atioh--sh had
no Manufactures, no Commerce. This lynx
eyed man encouraged and promoted Agricul-
by every means in his power. He introduced
Manufactures, of various kinds, which he sup
ported with the most sedulous care, and they
have now arrived at such growth, that Prus-
sia exports large quantities of Agricultural pro-
duce and of those articles she formerly yimported,
and possesses respectable foreign Commerce.
Germany may now be considered an agricu-
tural, manufacturing and commercial country;
and though manufactures were not tlourishing
till towards the end of the last century, yet
she now exports large quantities of various
sorts, and is yearly increasing them, both in
quantity and quality.
The whole Of Italay, is, with the exception of
few of its provinces, most wretchedly cultlva-
ted, and the inhabitants sunk into state Of
wretchedncss and ignorance, scarcely parallel
led, and possessing scarcely any kinds of manu-
factures, with little foreign commerce, while
the soil and climate is proverbal for being one
of the finest in the world.
France is greatly agricultural, manufacturing
and commercial. Her manufactures have in
creased an hundred fold within few years, and
her commerce has been equally advanced in
proportion. She is the great rival OF England
Tin manufactures, and will at no distant day,
enter into competition with her, in every market
of the world.
Spain was formerly, before the discovery of
America, greatly manufacturing, as well as agri.
cultural, but both these precious blessings were
neglected, and perhaps despised for the mines
of the new word and now Spain from being
one of the richest, is one of the poorest nations
in Europe; though possessing in appearance
large foreign commerce, but with a wretchet
state Of agriculture; and manufacturers have
fled to other lands of industry.
Portugal likewise was fast becoming manu-
featuring nation in an evil hour she sacrificed
these, to the policy of England and for the las
century she has been scarcely better than de
pendence on that polite island and her cult
vation is so wretched, that she imports large
quantities of bread stutis to support scant.
} population.
, England, with soil by no means fertile, ant
: with an Indifferent humid climate, has by he
, enterprise, her industry, and especially by he
unrivalled skill in manufactures, become one Q
I the most powerful, while she is undoubtedlJ
the wealthest nation in the world. The eS
E ports of her manufactures have increased he
j. foreign commerce to degree, hardly to b
credited, and she is daily adding to it by intro

defrauded. He Offered, with ariew To pre-
vent such impns,i"ns, an amendment. which
~ thought calculated 10 guard agains, il.
Mr.. Rankin said, that the amendment was
wholly unnecessary, the tuiry of land being
always made after the sale. aud not before it, Ii
was very true that frauds might be practis.d
under the system as it now stands, but, il So il
must be by perjury either or the purchaser
himself or of the public officers. Such abus.
however formed 40 just objection Ia general
provision for the relief OF those who really
suffer by accidental errors. Sc. This hill
having that object in virw. had undergone the
strictest scrutiny in HE Committee of Public
Lands, and every effort had been made to
guard its provisions from abuse. The public
officers best acquainted with the subject had
heen consulted, SC. The objection against
the bill that abuses might he Committed Mr.
X. suggested, would apply with equal force to
the Institution uf courts OF law, BECAUSE wit.
nesses might periure themselves, Sc.
Mr.. Tr'nble. OF Kentucky, rose, not to OPP
pose the hill, hut to ask question of the Chair
man of the Committee of Public Lands, viz
whether the bill authorizes the officers of gn-
rcrnment ID correct erroneous entries. He
stated the case of presumption right, the
holder Of which dicd-when his heirs came To
make the entry, it appeared that AN improper
entry WAS made, by which error the widow
and children were thrown out of their right
1t was obvious that in such case the error
ought to be recuied. Mi. II. wished Ia
know If the bill, as il now stood, would au-
thorlze the correction of an error of this de-
scripton.
Mr.. Rankin stated that the case which the
gentleman from Kentucky had mentioned,
was provided for by the act of l3I9-but ,ha,
act did not, in The opinion of the Committee
on Public Lands, go FAR enough, and they had
reported the Iresenl bill with aNiew to remedy
the dcftcts of that law, Sc. &c
Mr. Mccoy expressed doubts ofthe policy
of this bill. He thought ii was right 10 GO
vernment 10 correct the errors Of their own
officers, but not ofeveTy body else. He feared
IT would make purchasers careless about
errors for the future. He unprecedented that
tho applications, under the act, would he very
numerous aud very troublesome.
The Committee then rose and reported the
bill as amended Tile House concurred in the
amendment, (of Mr.. Campbcll,) and the hill
was ordered To b. engrossed for third reading
ayes 80, noes 30.
And then the Honse adjourned.
