AT a GENERAL MEETING of the WEST J—S- INDIA PLANTERS and MERCHANTS, held at the - - W TT of LollB6osr YAvusv, on TantrAdr, Stith M arch, 1811, 4 of takingr, into Ifitteilieentle. she 111461.. for the RUM° 111 of the DISTIL LIERIES, now before Parlia ment, &c. CHARLES ELLIS, Esq. lii. P. in the Chair. Resolved—That the West-India Colonies do not presume to question the policy on which the British Corn Laws are founded. Resolved--Thu by those Laws the prices at which Corn is per. mitted to be exported or imported, have been fixed, with refer. ence only to the encouragtment of agriculture, and to the due supply of the country. Resolved—That the use of Corn is the Distilleries has never been prohibited, except when Corn was above the prices at which importation was permitted or encouraged. Resolved—That sugar has been always in effect excluded from the DistiUcries, except when the use of Corn therein was, on these principles, prohibited. Resolved—That it is therefore incorrect to affirm, that the em ployment of Sugar in the Distilleries has ever been adopted, eith. r as a boon to the West-India Colonists, or to the prejudice of the agricultural interests of Great Britain. Resolved—That the West-India Colonists make no claim to a competition calculated to injure, or even to expose to hazard the agricultural interests of this country ; but they confidently claim, upon the ground not less of general policy than of justice to their interests, that the produce of the British Colonies may be admit ted to the Distilleries in preference to Foreign Corn. Resolved—That whenever the growth of British Corn is in sufficient for the necessary consumption of the country, the ex traordinary consumption of the Distilleries may be supplied either by the importation of Foreign Cern, or by the substitu tion of Sugar, without prejudice to the British Corn Grower; aid that the effect upon the price of British Corn will be the same whether Sugar or Foreign Corn be employed for that purpose. Resolved—That it appears by official accounts now before Parliament, that the real value of the Corn, Grain, and Flour ' imported into Great Britain from Foreign ports (Ireland of course excluded) =minus un the average of eleven years (from 1800 to 1810, both inclusive) to £3,7.21,866, and that in the last year it reached the sum of £7,077,865, while the real value of the grain annually consumed in the Distillery of Great Britain (when sup plied by grain) may be estimated at about £950,000, or about 470,000 quarters, which quantity in these latter years would hive been thither required to be annually imported, if Sugar had not been substituted for corn in the Distilleries. Resolved—That although Barley does not constitute a large proportion of the usual importation of Foreign Corn, yet, as the consumption of this article in the Distilleries is asserted to afford a resource against an occasional deficiency in the supply of British Corn; and to operate as a granary for the food of nun and beast in time of scarcity (an effect which could not be pro duced, except upon the principle that the consumption and price of one specks of grain are influenced by those of another) there appear Irons the !acts above stated of the average Import of grain to exist ample means both for encouragement of British agriculture, and .tit,o for some support to the British Colonies, with the additional advantage of diminishing that large tribute which we annually pay to the agriculture, commerce, and re wurcts of the enemy. Resolved That the incidental advantage arising from the ad mission of Sugar to the Distilleries as proposed by the Jill now , efore Parlimnent, is so guarded by the Provisions of that Bill, that the West India Colonist, so far from being in effect admit ted to an equal competition for the Distillery with British Corn, isnot even adntltted upon terms as favourable as the Foreign Im porter. The l'oreign Importer is admitted into general ct 'repe tition with the British Corn Grower, when Barley at 335. per quarter, while 335. per quarter is the price now proposed to be fixed, fur the admission of Sugar into competition with British and Foreign Corn conjointly, on what is assumed to be an equal footing. Rerolved-1 hat this Bill, therefore, though advantageous to the West India Colonists, as compared with the total exclusion from the Distilleries to which they have been subjected, will be a benefit very far short of that to which they conceive them selves to be equitaisly ratitkel, and which, in consequence of the necessity for a large importation of Foreign Corn, might be af forded to them, without discouragement to the alp icukure of the country. C. ELLIS, Chairman. he Chairman having left the Chair, Resolved —*that the Thanks of the Meeting be given to the Chairman for Us Conduct in the Chair. WM. HOLDEN, Secretary. PARLIAMEIV7ARI PROCEEDINGS. HOUSE OF LORDS, MARCH 28. The LORD CHANCEI.I.OR being detained, we understood, at the Council, at Carlton-House, did not come down to the House till Ave o'clock. After prayers wire read, a number •of private Bills were brought up from the Commons by Sirs M.W. Ridley, J. Graham, and other Gentlemen, and read a first time. The Exchequer Bills Funding Bill, and the Militia Officers' Indemnity Bill, passed through Committees of the whole Mount, and were reported without any amendment. Earl STANHOPE gave notice of his intention to submit to the HO4ISC, some day next week, a motion upon the subject of the letter ►f Mr. Pole, which, he sail, was not only a violation of law in itself, but was, in other points of view, a measure of great legal and political importance. If no objection were made to the day, he should bring lt forward on Thursday next. No objection being made to the period, hi► Lordship fixed it for that day, and moved, That the Lords be summoned on the occasion; which was ordered accordingly. Mr. Best, from the Directors of the Bank of England, presen ted some documents respecting the recent change in the denomi nation of Dollars, or Bank Tokens, agreeably to an order of their Lordships; which were ordered to be printed. Lord GRF.NVILLE took the opportunity to inquire if the other documents which were ordlffed on his motion, on a former evening (we believe the Correspond& ce between his Majesty's Government and the Bank Directors,) would won be laid &whirs the House ? Earl BA.THIIRST answered across the table in the affirmative. URILUART VICTORY AT BARBOSA. The order of the Day, upon which their Lordship were summoned, being read, The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, !‘ I rise, my Lords, to bring forward the tvlifion of whith I had the honour of giaeia t a notion - 00 a former even4g.- 7 introducing it, I shall endeavour to preclude, as far as possible, all difference of sentiment, by abstaining carefully fmm any topic upon which a difference of opinion has been formed. I shall therefore confine myself to the direct question to which my notice re ferred, and upon which I trust I shall have the una nimous support of your Lordships. It is to pay our tribute of decided approbation and applause, to the gallant army 'underl...ieutenant-General Graham.— An army and a Commander, my Lords, who have given the most signal and brilliant proofs of valour and skill,of bravery, disaplitte, and intrepidity. I had almost said unparalleled, but certainly never yet tran scended-Tin any other occasion whatever in the mili tary annals of the country. The circumstances of this brilliant affair are known to your Lordships ; -you are informed of the complete and successful repulse of a superior army of the enemy, by an army in num bers considerably inferior. You are aware of the at tendant circumstances being all those which appertain to an indflputable victory. You have observed that besides the cannon and standards which were taken from the enemy, and-the great number of prisoners that were compelled to yield, that no fewer than three Generals, a number greater than was attached to the British army itself. In addition to all this, my Lords, you will observe the very extraordinary circumstance and I believe it is the first time of its occurrence, that in enaction se contested, there was, on the part of the British troops, not a single man left as a prisoner, or . even missing. It is also to be considered, that the field of battle remained undisputed in the occupation of the British army. What I am saying, is that which, I am sure, will meet the feelings of every man, namely, that this action will tend to confirm the opi nion so justly entertained by all intelligent and un prejudiced men in Europe, that when British troops are opposed to the troopsasf any nation whatever, in nearly equal numbers, their superiority is marked and decided.—(Hear, Gear.—ln the case before us, if any further proof of its great superiority litere wanted, we have to consider that the full tribute of approbation and applause is due to every regiment, nay to every man engaged in the whole army.— Every individual was emulous, and anxiously active in the performance of his duty.—(Hear, hear, hear.) In every point of view in which this action could pos. Sibly be regarded, it challenged' the most unqualified Approbation of applause. I feel assured that what ever other considerations may impress the mind of any N.ble Lord, nothing will induce you to forego your cordial and unanimous thanks to those through ' -whose labours this most hrifliant victory has been achieved. The Thanks of Parliament, together with the declared approbation of their Sovereign, is the most distinguished and acceptable mark of favour— the highest boon that can possibly be conferred upon them. In speaking of the army, my L or d s , i t i s impossible to avoid - speaking more particularly of the merits of the General, who. commanded it.— We cannot avoid regarding with applause and sa tisfaction this signal display of the most perfect presence of mind, and promptitude of decision, those great and leading qualifications of a General. To his spirit and promptitude in the arduous moment of difficulty, the success of the day appears to be auribut has excited the warmest approbation of theltepresertL tatives of the Spanish nation. I shall only detain , you with one other observation :—I cannot without peel:liar satisfaction consider that conjointly with the 'British troops, two corps of foreign soldiers were engaged: one a German corps of - cavalry, whose conduct on this occasion has been praised in the highest and strongest team ; and the other a, Portuguese corps, raised under the system your Lordships have heard of on a former occasion. Of ' these, and I speak on the testimony of General Gra. ham with pleasure, they were one of the first to enter into the action, under all the disadvantages with which the action was fought—not even a Bri tish battalion could more honourably distinguish it self. With these observations, my Lords, I trust I shall be permitted the honour of introducing, for your adoption, the following motion—His Lordship. then moved, 46 That the Thanks of the House be given to Lieutenant-General THOMAS GRAHAM for the distinguished ability displayed by him on the sth of March, in the action on the heights of Barrosa i by which a signal victory was gained over a greatly 4 superior force of the enemy."—Loud cheering. Earl GREY expressed his approbation of the con duet tlf. the Noble Secretary in abstaining from any tnpic which was likely to produce a difference of sen• timer); Qn such an occasion as the present. The Noble Earl had certainly adduced sufficient grounds for the unanimous rote of Thanks for one of the most liant services ever performed by a British Army. —g He could not, however, deny himself the satisfaction of expressing his own most cordial concurrence in the Motion. • Ak far as the British Arms were concerned the affair Wks - entitled to the most unqualified praise: I If Cadiz was not relieved from the pressare of a siege, it was not for want of exertion on the part of the Bri tish army. The affair was of that nature, that prompt titude of decision was principally called for, and it was impossible to describe, in adequate terms, the enetigy with 'wbie.4 that decision was takers, and carriernto effect.' It was never exceeded by any of those actions to which the glorious feelings of na tion pride looked back with satisfaction and delight. It was certainly a proud recollection ttr the natives of these Islands that not only their power at sea, when fleet was opposed to fleet, and ship to ship, was so deci dedly superior, but that also on land, and on an occa sion too, where British troops were placed in a situation, by cu c umstancesbot of their own creating, they had also evinced a decided superiority ! The action, he , re. peated, as far as the troops under General Graham were concerned, was entitled to unqualified praise. But he could not suppose that his Majesty's Ministers were so destitute of discrimination or of feelings with respect to an effn%ion of British blood, as not to adopt such measures as would in future prevent the recur rence of such an event as occulted. He would not now introduce topics which might create feelings ad verse to the unanimity that ought to prevail ; he trot. ted, however, that firm representations would, by made against conduct that so long had favoured the success of the enemy, and that such a system of vi gour and determination would be acted upon, as would evince it was not yet too late for the achieve ment of complete success. He referred to, and pres. sed upon the attentien of Ministers, the dying request of that illustrious Officer, who fell in combating the enemy in the peninsula. He trusted that marks of signal approbation would be conferred on .the worthy and gallant Officer, whose brilliant exploit was then belore their Lordships. Promotion with respect to rank was held amongst the most honourable distinc tions in the army ; and he hoped the great military talents and heroic ardour which General Graham had so unequivocally manifested, would he employed in a more extensive and important field than they hither to had been. Lord MULGRAVE could not avoid the strength and impulse of his feelings, but expressly declare his heart-felt satisfaction at the vote proposed to their Lordships. He felt proudl;. pacified in thus contrl. toning his portion of applause to an OfEwer endowed with such military talents, skill, and bravery, as Ge neral Graham. He had the happiness of experiencing these attributes on the part of the worthy General, when he had h: professional assistance on a former on. portant occasion. He cordially concurred in the mini ment of the Noble Earl opposite (Grey), that the vic tory in question was gained under circumstances-which rendered it equal in glory to any blazoned in the page of English hisiory.• He supposed the Noble Earl al- luded to the glorious victory obtained by one of their immortal Sovereigns. The Gallipt Officer in clues. tion had neither the choice of histround or his posi. thin, as was the case in the ever memorable acuon al. , luded to. His Lordship then referred to sonic of the • prominent circumstances of tke action at Ilarrosa, for the purpose of illustrating the great and unqualified applause which was due to the Gallant General who commanded. Every corps of the Army, and every individual who composed it, seemed influenced by the spit it and iutrepisity of their illustrious Ludo ; his glorious example was every where seen, every where felt ! It was unnecessary for the Noble Earl to draw the most favourable attention of his Majesty's go• verumeut to the traftscendant talents and intrepidity : •
