Resolred unanimously-------That the Thanks of this Meeting be given to the Chairman, not only for his conduct on the present occasion, but for his Constant attention to the interests of the Ship Owners. S. COCK, Secretary. • • A General Meeting of the Ship Own¬ ers of London was on Tuesday held at the4 City of London Tavern, at which J. W. Buckle, Esq. was called to the Chair, which having taken, he read the Advertisement for calling the Meeting. He then went iuto a statement of the ob¬ ject which the Committee of the Ship¬ owner's Society had in calling the Mem* bers together. It was stated, he obser¬ ved, in a conversation which took place in the House of Commons a few evenings fcack, on a Petition which was presented from some Meichants of London, that, many alterations might be made in the [Navigation Laws, Which would be pro¬ ductive of very considerable benefits to the country at large. As those altera¬ tions, whatever they were, were not de¬ fined, the Resolutions and Petition which ■would be presented to the Meeting did not refer to them, nor did he go into de¬ tail respecting them. They were only alluded to in a general way. Oue thing, however, had occurred on that evening, \vhich called for the particular attention of the Meeting, it was slated, by the President of the Board of Trade, that the Government zeerc not unfavourable to a remission of some of the duties imposed on Timber from the North of Europe. This he thought was a most important owners, as their interests were likely to be most materially affected by it. It was not necessary Tor him to go into any his¬ tory of this duty in support of the Reso¬ lutions, but he thought the present was a good opportunity for presenting to the Meeting a short detail of the great in¬ crease of the timber trade, and of the shipping employed in it within a very few years. He proceeded to contend that, by the removal of the restrictions on the timber trade with the northern parts of Europe, a most serious injury would be done to this country generally, to our own North American Colonies, aud to the Ship-owners in particular. It would be hopeless to imagine that we should get the custom of the Baltic Pow¬ ers by opening our ports to them. They could nut afford to deal nith us.. Ou this subject he would mention a fact which \f*s not perhaps known, or if known, not taken fully into considera¬ tion. There was at the present moment in the Custom-house, an order from the Treasury, remitting the tonnage dutiev en all ships clearing out, xcith any cargo, however small, for Sweden or Finland. This was an indulgence not allowed with respect to those vessels trading to the Co¬ lonies ; and the reason assigned for re¬ mitting the duties was, that those coun¬ tries were too poor to take our produce. But if tlris were the fact, and he did not deny it, why should this country give up the trade with her own colonies, in or¬ der to open it with those who could not deal with us in return ? Why should we .thus ^h(ow .from ourselves the rum ; § trade from which we already derive so great a benefit ? It was not now the in¬ tention of the Committee to refer to any alteration in the Navigation Laws : it would be time enough when they under¬ stood what the nature of the intended al¬ terations were. He did not, however, >*nean to say., that no alterations should ever be rnade*in them; for the time might come, and circumstances might be so altered, as to call for some alteration. But though the shipping interest would never oppose any alteration which might conduce to the public good, they could not be satisfied with any alteration which would injure themselves. Mr. Clay proposed the first Pi.esolu- tidu. On the ResolOlion being put from the Chair, Mr. Baring thanked the Committee for the opportunity they had given him of attending; for, as a ship-owner, he had little claim to interfere, lie con¬ ceived that the Shipping Interest must be looked upon as most important by every one who valued the independence of the Country in a commercial point of view. He thought, therefore, no other interest ought to be looked upon as opposed to them ; aud he trusted that Merchants and Ship-owners would be considered as one great family, each having astrongin- terest in the prosperity of the other. He was glad to see so numerous and res¬ pectable a body looking with a jealous eye on measures which might affect their great interests ; but he was sure the pre¬ sent meeting were too respectable to think that because the Merchants or the Agriculturalists had petitioned, they, (the Ship-owners) were intended to be injured. He hoped they would look up¬ on themselves as not separated in interest from those other classes, but that where they could assist each other they would. If the Ship-owners were in danger of be- iog injured he considered that the other telasscb would n6t do their duty if they did not support them. If the question before the meeting referred solely to this timber trade, he should not have fell it necessary to offer any observations; but 'he hoped, as referring to the Petition •Vhich he had recently presented to the l*?1 Lo s.iv a few words as to the probable result of that Petition. First, he should observe, that the Petition was not of his drawing up. He had never seen it un¬ til it was put into hil hands to be pre¬ sented. Undoubtedly it was very ably drawn up. It laid down some princi¬ ples on which it was said ourtrade should he regulated; but he would admit, that mauy of those were too general in their nature, and therefore it was natural that (hey should be looked upon with a jeal¬ ous eye. They were ratherof too sweep¬ ing a character, and might, perhaps, ap¬ ply better to a new country, than to one which had a [on* experience of previous regulations, lie- thought, therefore, that it should net b? considered without con¬ sulting other interests besides those of the Petitioners, and he would never sup¬ port it if he zzas satisfied, that such sup¬ port would injure the Ship-owners.—He then proceeded to argue, that the altera¬ tions which he had suggested as to the Last India Trade, and the transit system, would, instead of injuring, benefit the | Shipping tn teres L The exclusion of the Baltic Timber was, he thought, injurious, inasmuch as it had made \it many ene¬ mies : though he would not deny that the countries on the Baltit tserc too poor tr be good customers to Us, In looking at the question in Parliament, he should be always ready to attend to any informa¬ tion which the Committee of the Society of Ship-owners might be pleased to'com¬ municate. The Chairman observed, that the rea- 500 why only one third of the amount of shipping which were engaged in trie Ame¬ rican trade could find employment in that of the Baltic was, that they go more frequently to the latter place They mightgo four times in the year to Prus¬ sia, two to the Baltic, (by w bkh is meant Revel, Port Baltic, and the higher ptfKs) uuti >i'.\ eo JWiway. 11*1 fc^Jtsd (u <isk the lion.

Wc (hen looked to our own Colonies, which we had be¬ fore neglected, .nd it was too much now to complain that we continued to give the preference to those Colonies. Mr. Wilson, M.

We have read files of Paris papers, oppofnion and rninillerial, to the latcft date, the iSth of May. The drain of the debates in the Houfe of Deputies continues to be highly intetefiing, in relation both to the pad and the future. Much of the hidory and temper of the early periods of the Revolution, is revived in thefe difcus- fions:—We almoft Ihuddcr when we find the epithets AriG«crat and jaeohin \ bandied on filch a theatre. Thtv are afTociated with the mod horrible atrocities and cruel difaders known in the annals of mankind. The declamation of the con¬ tending parties in the debate or: the new law of Elections, reached the extreme of hyperbole, and as it effl-rvefced from time to time, a general tumult took place, which the fpeaker in vain endeavoured to reprefs. Of the character of the excite¬ ment furnifhed, an idea may be formed hy a fmgle example : One of the principal miniftcrial orators declared that the exilting theme of election had not only fent a regicide to the Chamber, but had provided numerous advocates for him in the fame aflembly. On one fide it was generally aflerted that the rejection of the J new fyflcm propofed, would inevitably induce a Federative Republic and a Mili¬ tary Defpotifm ;—on the other, that the adoption of it roaft beget, firlt an oligarchical, arbitrary monaichy, and fpeedily, a deftru&iveconvullion through¬ out France. There is fooaethirtg worthy of obfervation in the faft, that the French have paded not leffl than fifteen different organic laws rcfpe&ing elections, in the courfe «;£the lad thirty years. Confiderable freedom of animadverfion on the proceedings of government is dill left to the Oppofition papers, although much complaint is made, in the Houfe of Deputies, of the partiality and ri^or of the Ccnfors of the Prefs. The Miuidry I deny that they have fettered the gazettes in refpefl to any thing except coarfe, loofe inventive and wanton perfonalitfes. it is mentioned by the editors of the Conditu- tfonel. the principal paper of the Liberals, that they had led in the courfe of the month of April, two thoufand five hun¬ dred lines by the pruning knife of the Ceniorfhip. We can readily conceive from what we faw of this paper anterior to the eftableihracnt of the Cenforfhfp, that fo much could he (pared without prejudice to the caufe of truth and conciliation— The Minilterial journals, however, were fu&eptiUe of quite as ample lopping ; whfch they do not appear to have received —Seme oftheprocedings under the go verpment in fuppoit of ltd authority are greatly wanting in dignity, andean hardly be deemed expedient, Wc'remark the live the Emperor in t|ie garden"of the Thu.le.ies : another ca|e of a fathei and fon fentenced to live yCais imprifonmeiit & a fine of fix thoufand francs, as guilty of having " tried to produce difobedience to the laws and the overthrow of the govern¬ ment," by means of * f0ng, of which the ion was the author, Entitled Patriotic Air, by an enemy of arbitrary power. There are, alfo, indances of public women fevercly dealt with by the Courts of exclaming Long live the Emperor; one is of a feam- flrefo configned to pnfon for two years for the fame cry ;—when this formidable enemy of the Bourbons reached her new abode, (he ffiouted again Long live Bona¬ parte, and fpatin the face of the jailers! All this, as well as what happens of the fame kind in England, is truly pitiful, and the neceffity for folemn judicial intervention on fuch occafions—on the fuppoiition of its being neceiTary—only gives a more miferablc complexion to the bufiuefs. The French papers contain an able report of a Committee of the Houfe of Deputies on the Budget for 1820. The fum total propofed to be granted to the government, as the amount of ways and raeans for the year, is 505,183^50 francs, nor equal to more than one half of the annual expenditure of the Biitifh Govern¬ ment. In this tepcrt a f;. dem of maritime armament 'for France is fuggefted. It is propofed that no large fleets be thought of ; but that new frigates be built as the mod fuitable fpecies of naval force for the protection of commerce, and allufion is made to our experience in our lad war with England, to illultratc its fuperior utility as a means of annoyance in a conted with an enemy pofleffing fo immenfe a navy. The Committee look to the com¬ plete eftablilhment between the years 1820 and 1830, of a military marine to con fid of 38 or 40 (hips of the line, 50 frigates and £0 I'liidlkr vcflcU, all reac) for a&'tvc fervice. An annual appropriation or from 40 to 90 million* of francs* to effeft the purpufe, is advifed in the Kcport There i* much aboul Spain in the Parifian Gazettes. 1: is reprefented ui a letter ftorn Madrid, dated 2d May, and contained in the Journal des Dtbats, that a fquadron of fix veffels, frigates aud Corvettes, was about to fail from Cadiz for Venezuela, to back the negotiations about to be opened with the lufurgents. This is in accordance with the view taken at Barcelona, of the South American quedion. *' American pacification now amounts to little more than that of putting 'down a few in-erefted'^ too deeply implicated chiefs, in order that the people at large may have an opportunity of manifeding their real fentinientsand wiflje.-.."

On entering the jail yard where ihe scaffold was erected, au hour before the time of execution, the Sounds of devo¬ tional h>mns were heard echoing from the gloomy vault r.here the prisoners weie confined. After waning for some time, in a .state of solemn airti- cipatiofl of iheapproaching catastrophe, a bustle was discovered amidst the ihrui.*ging spectators, ' t rgh. i-'our chairs had been previously deposit¬ ed on the platform, and white the agitated eye tra* i^;:zitir; u» qne>t of iheobjectv v.

Scarcely were the cnminalsseated, each beside Hie attend¬ ing clergyman iu the chair, before their attending friends standing iu a range on the steps of llie scaffold, and in front of the spectators, commen¬ ced the service by singing an appropriate lijmii to die thioneof Divine grace. During (his ^u- IcKiuity a profound ;r!ciice was observed, which boer0edte prepare the oiinds^Jf the >pcctators for ibe still further solemnities of ilie day. The throne of grace w.os then addressed by the Rev. ,\Jr. Oiborne, the criminals kneeling, aud r»pj>a- tently a&snrbeJ in attention. Another hymn was then suny-, which was succeeded by a pra>- ei'fioui the t nurch service, by die Itcv. Dr. V\'y- au. After a short but anxioo> pause, Hull ad¬ dressed the surrounding spt elators. He decla¬ red, thai he stood an awful example of die fatal consequences of associating wUh bad company in early youth. To the younger pari of his audi¬ ence he addressed himself with peculiar empha¬ sis, and iinjdnrcd them to take warning by the spectacle. He described himself as descended from pioUSparents, who laboured assiduously to bring him up in Ihe nurture and admonition of the Lord. But he added, that the society of wiek> ed and profligate young men. was a temptation that lf*l him on to the perpetration of a crime, at which he no a shuddered, anc; of ihe punishment of which he acknowledged thejuslice. But even in the depth of nrsery,he humbly trusted thai he had found consolation. Hen as enabled to UtttK with humble resignation on death, through the merits of his Redeemer, lie earnestly exhorted hteyoujjc friends, to seek religion while in ihe flower ot youth, and not to put'ofl'rl^ hnnr r»Fi*e- ioriuaunn until a more distant period. \N lift re¬ gard to the particular crime for which he was aboHt lo sutler, he declared in the presence of the heart-scatchin^; and rein-trying (iod, that the statement which he had heretofore given to the world, importing that he ivasseduced to the per¬ petration of this Crime, was correct. Lifting up his hands, as far as the bandage would allow, and Carting his eyes tc heaven, be exclaimed, Lord Je.-us receive my spirit All this was uttered in a clear, strong and deuherate accent, with a countenance solemn, bur composed and &erct;e. tiurtoifs fortitude seemed lo be of another kind, it «asguarded and collected, and full of tranquil firmness.

If any essential setvice were rendctsd him, perhaps a small charge might be justifiable. But what in reality docs the poor man get for his money?—a picee of paper not trorlh a farthing, which cannot possibly further his views of location, and which is even frequently unaccompanied with one word of instruction or advice respecting the means of reaching his destination with expedition, audof avoiding unnecessary expence. Does the paper certify any thing trmre than what a person of the most common capacity could gather from the lips of the emigrant himself? It gives the individual's name atid the num¬ ber of his family, and states his inten¬ tions and profession. Cannot the emi¬ grant produce his wife and children as living evidence of the truth of what he may assert on the first head, and as for bh intentions, aud profesi-ion, is not his own tale quite as satisfactory as Mr. Gilchrist's certificate ? It indeed appears that this Gentleman exacts Is. 3d. from the poor emigrant without rendering him any service ill return.
