FIRST REPORT
or THE-COMMXTTEE APPOINTED TO CON
,smesin OF THE PRESENT uxcu rgx—cz
OF PROVIZIONS. _
[Cozzclrzdedfrom aut-Iq/f.) si
. It has been stated to your compi'ctttee,
by..several of the principal impftsiiitersof
perry, that the w heat of the present yea, in
ghe North of Europe, -is by all accou'nsim far
superior in quality to that of last year; in
; Germanysi it! is " represented as abundant ;
ssand though some less favorable accounts
L—of later datcs have been received from
ss other parts, yet it is stated, that little ssreliu
ance is to be placed upon them, as thev
have only become less fav orable since the
deficiency of the crop in this country has
been the subject of speculation abroad ; all
grain (except Rye) has been uncommonly
abundant in most parts of Europe. __ The
ctharveft in Amer'ctica borh ofwhezit andrice
has been unusuully plentishl; The indem
nisyinsig bounty , now proposed to be given,
is considered by those ctimporters whom
yourcommittct have examined as much]
more satisfactory thanctwhat was granted
in the last scffion, and as likely to assordstill
more effectual cncouragemcnt; ct
There seems therefore no reason tsso_
doubt, as far as depends upon the state of
the hassrvcst abroad, and the probable ex
ertions of forcign and British importers,
that the supply may be fully equal to that
of la" Year in wheat and flour, and_ in eats
and rice will considcr-ably exceed i t ; and
that in other articles, to which enconmge
ment may now be 'extended, particuIery
in barley and indian corn, a'largc addition
al supply may be expected. Amongit the!"
yOur committee wish. particularly to direct
theattention of the house and country to,
the article of rice. ' -
The quantity of food to be derived from
equal quantitics siof rice and ofwhcat is in
a very great proportionsissin favor of the for
mer ; the quality "of this species ofGrain
is undoubtedly excellent; and, wherever
-it has been introduced,, it appears to have
been highly- acceptable : the encoura'ge

will probably bring into GreatBritain all 3

There "are .a'siso other .articles of whole—

committee has been directed, and they en- ;
tertain considerable hopes, that'arrange
ments may be made, by which large quan.
tities of fish, and other salted provisions,
may beaddessd to the supply of the market
at such reasonably rates as may afford a
material- shurce of relief.- Your commit
tee mean to proceed immediately in this
pa'rt of their cnquiry, and will as early as
possible state thesiresult to the house. _
_ The sto'þsspsiage of the distilleries 'it) Eng.
'hnd, at this early season, will prove equi
valent t'o the importation of at least
2 50,ooo quarters of ba'rley—In Scotland
it is statedas likely to be productive Of a
'tavmg of the same article to a still greater
amount, and the prohibition of the use of
wheat in stareth, may save about 4o,ooo
quarters. By these measures, large'qusidn
tities osgrain are left.— appiicabie to the
food e-sman, Which have nsiotin other years
been so employed; and your committce
have. therefore thought preper to class
them under the same head with importa
tion. "
Your committee think themselves au
thorised to place a considerable reliance
upon the effect of the various measures

above referred to, in increasing the gcnc- ss
ral smsizpiy. Of these the encouragement
offlzred by parliament for the importation
of forcign grain, is undobtedly the most
important -, but, Whatever expectations
may be rea—sonahly formed, of the great
extensit to which that encouragemcnt com
bined with the high price in this country
may carry it , your committee think it their
duty to state their decided opinion, and to
ss endeavour to impress that opinion, in the
strongest manner Upon the house ; that it
; wouldbe unwise and unsafe to place their
; sole reliatȝee upon resout'ces of this descrip- ss
' ttcn. Auowmg for the probability that
the account: before. stated rcspecting the
produce of the last harvest, may berather
below than above the truth; yet the ex.
hausted state of the old stock, and the un
usually early period at which the late
crop came into consumptisson, make it not
