Deliverers fcfJSatOOe, we thought proper to equip an armament against the Dey of Algiers, (llic only ally who had remained faithful to us during the war,) in order to put an end to the predatory practices of the turbary powers : and wc certainly did stchieve the liberation of about uve hun¬ dred Sardinians. Neapolitans, and other v. foroigners, at the expense of tie limbs and lives of a far greater number of Brit¬ ish Seamen ; of more (as I unders and) than a million of mone) ; and the iai'u -i expense, of throwing about eight buodr tl British ships and ten thousand British seamen out of employment; for there- suit of this enterprise was* that all other European powers could navigate the Mediterranean with tie same secorit) a9 ourselves, and bein^able to sail at less cxpence than «e can t\o^ ifa ;' iounedi- ately supplanted us in this carrying trade j which does not, 1 believe, ^ive rmploy- ment to one single British ship at the pre¬ sent moment- Thecdher branch of trade which opened OU the return of peace, and by ui the most extensive and impor¬ tant of the whole, is the limber trade vith the British Colonics in North Ame- fich, which last year employed no less than one thousand five hundred and twenty sail of vessels, of three hundred and forty thousand tons burthen, and h&vigated by seventeen thousand ss\ nundleu HHti&ii wrarotuu *»* Jl ttcrtw*1' observed, (he private trade to India is on fhe decline, and the carrying trade in the Mediterranean is totally lost; this trade, therefore, is the sheet anchor, the last remaining hope of the Ship Owners, and the House cannot wonder at the alarm they express in their petition, at an at¬ tempt to deprive them of this their only Ttf:ouice. So far from the interest's of the Ship Owners being in an improving state, the depreciation in their property is inereas- rftj more tepidly than ever, as 1 shall prove, by que ting actual sales of ships, fcisicb hav£ taken place within these tew nnrriths, owing to the insolvency of their owners- The Sesostns, of four hundred and eighty-seven ton- burdeo,w a» launch¬ ed in 1S18« and cost j£i 2.175. She was Sold in 1820, after having made one voy¬ age, for jjg6*800. The Midas, of four hundred and twenty tous, Uaa valued in lgi8,at£6,3O0 ; was repaired and cop¬ pered that year at Liverpool, at an ex¬ pense oi ^3,500 ; and in 18k20, was sold for JP3,2U0- The Hebe, of four bundled and seventeen tons, was valued in IMS at £6,000; and sold in 1820* for £3/250. The St. Patrick cost, in repairs and lil¬ ting, in 1818, independent of (he then value of the ship, £7,100; and wfcs sold in 18420 tor £3,000 The Luly Raffles, of six hundred and forty-s:> tons, was built in 1817, and cost ^23,000 ; after making one voyage only,she was sold in 187.0, for between ta and £lJ,000.— These facts show tin- utter inability of the Ship Owners to beat any farther di - aduiutage, and that the loss of toe lim- |>er trade with Hie British colonies m I :\ l.* America must eonij U te tin ii ruin. ll it is supposed that tiic ships and seamen now employed in bringing timber from the British colonics, might be enga¬ ged in the same trade to the north of En- Tope, the answer is, that two circumstan¬ ces lender this impossible. In the first place, the voyage to the Baltic is so much Shorter than that to North America, th.it tiic' same trade would not occupy half the number of ships oi men. In the iftext placp, all the trade between Great ^Britain and her colonies, must be carri¬ ed on by British ships only ; but thai •with the Baltic would be carried on <c!dct!y in foreign ship--. 1 have moved fcr returns which will lay the present State of this trade fully before the House; but, in ti.e meantime, I am enabled to slate, from oiheial documents, that of 101,117 tons of shipping employed last year, iii the trade between this country and Norway andSnedrn, only eighteen thousand eight hundred and twenty sev¬ en tons were British, and eighty one thousand seven hundred and forty tons were foreign. This must be so in 'the rature of things; for timber, iron,hemp, Cax, pvovisious.of all Sorts, and seamen's wages, arc much lower in the north of Europe, than in Great Britain, The Leavy taxation to which we ate necesvi rily subject, in order to provide for tht interest of Oar national debt, raises the price of labour, and of ever) thing that is produced by labour ; and therefore to . expect that a country burdened Mitli taxation as this is, Can compete with oth¬ er a .nines where taxation is compara¬ tively light, is to suppose that a horse Staggering under a heavy load, \< Ifkclv to win a race, against one thai carries on¬ ly a father's weight. If t*e present protecting duties, in favour of timber from the British colonies are reduced' and the trade transferred to the Baltic. the inevitable consequence will be, that tim tonnage employed So it « m hK- di- tjmmhfed one half, and that of that half, four-tilths would be foreign ; so that twelve ui thirteen hundred$4Hoi British Shipping, must either remain without employment, or bo thrown on the ofhei already overloaded branches of British commerce, to the incalculable mjurv of the Ship Owners, Che right honourable Gentleman the President of the Board of Trade, who expressed strong objections-to taking up fhe doctfrines contained in that petition, as general rules of practice, nevertheless, coincided with him in the expediency ol his suggestion as to the protecting duties on foreign timber, and announced his in¬ tention of bringing forward some propo¬ sition of that sort, in the course of the present Session of Parliament. 1 renll\ heard that declaration both with sur¬ prise and concern ; with surprise, as 1 had ever been accustomed to hear him support measures founded on true prin¬ ciples of commercial policy; and with concern, as I am conscientiously persua¬ ded, that of all the wild and extravagant projects that would follow the uu'iuali- lieil adoption of the principles so broad¬ ly laid clirtii iu that petition, (but ivhich the honourable Member who presented it most judiciously qualified in his speech) none could be imagined more pregnant with mi*, hief, not only in the interests «if the >hip Onners, but to the best in¬ terests of the country nt laJge, than the very measure which the President of the Board of Trade thought proper to stamp with the seal of his approbation. Before I point out the mischiefs to which I have alluded, I shall make a few observations upon (hi-specious arguments by width the measure in contemplation has been supported. Iu the first place, it has been argued as if it was a quest ion b< (ween parlies w ho have equal claims to our preference; VrfWHftttt, Sir,- ut ~f /;lvt, if \,% it (JIM lil'M between cur fellow subjects and foreign¬ ers. We have been told that wo oi.^h? to consider all t!;e world as- -members of one great family. Now, Sir, i cann. t carry my nations of consanguinity quite ^o far. i am ready to con si del all the inhabitants of my own country as one great family ; but I must consider the in¬ habitants of all other count lies a-* so ma¬ ny other great families ; and when I am called upon to injur:' mv own country¬ men iii order to benefit them, 1 look up¬ on the application in the same light, as if I were desired lo starve my own chil¬ dren, in order to provide for tin* children of strangers, and reject it accordingly. Then, Sir, we arc told that tin protec¬ tion we give to the tin.In r trade in our own colonies, is dictated by a spirit ol hostility towatds the northern powers o Europe, and has excited great dissntis faction against us throughout the C- r tinent. The system ot imposing pi*, teciing duties, in favour of the produce of their colonic?, has uniformly been acted upon for centuries past, and con¬ tinues to be acted upon to the present moment, by every power in Europe ; and therefore no umbrage can reasonably b« taken against us, f r adhering to the uni¬ versal practice. Bui the complaint thai this branch of trade with our colonies originated in a spirit of ho.-tility towards the northern powers, ernes with n very had grace from them, ns the truth i.> that it originated not only in th. ir hostil¬ ity, but in their perlidy and ill faith to- wardsus. Tlw^e powers, notwithstand¬ ing the Berlin and Milnn decrees ol Bo- | napartOj continued an intexc urso with ttns coutm-y, whieh wps carried on by means of ticnnst»s9 till the year 1811, when at the command of their great mu¬ ter and our em mv. bj a sudden and :im- ultaneous movement, they confiscated every vewel in their ports (hat came from this country, together with their car/joes, to the value of not less than seven mil¬ lions of money. Tin-y probably fancied that wo were dependent upon them for our supply of timber, hemp, and other naval stoics ; and (hat by cutting off all communication with us- they would ob¬ lige us to make peace on such terms as they might think proper to impose.—but Great Britain, excluded from the old world, found out a new one in htr own colonies, ; and discovered resources in them, which enabled her nat only to maintain the contest, but to bring "it at length to a successful and glorious ter¬ mination. She then explored the forests of Canada, and drew from fhern those supplies of timber which she had former¬ ly procured from (he Baltic ; and now that (fa}( trad;* has grown up to its pre¬ sent lu Lht: imd is carried on with equal advantage to ourselves and to our colo¬ nies, tre must SiiiHy be ciotards and idi- those that entered fWm the other coon- pure tries of Europe; * », ; rmfthat nine- j * ""' tenths ftfihouTl.f't ^rc:p::red for the con¬ sumption of the h iuiUtnnts of Cuba arc proeurt.l cheapen from other countries than !>■•.•.

Great stress is laid on the advantage we should derive from what is called a more libt ral SJStefti town ids foreign [lowers ; and we are told that if we take more fiom them they will take more from ns.

That foreigners can undersell us. is not only matter o| just inference from the weight of taxa¬ tion under which we labour, and (nun which they arc exempt, but is also a plain matter "f fact, admitting ol demonstra¬ tion.
