IP • even by debts to the CrrAvn. He therefore era not introduce them into the prefcnt Bill, but wilted rather to proceed flop by ftep ; he hoped that the LeBiflature would hereafter make copyhold alfo lia ble. It had been Paid, that every honefl man would, if in debt, make a wil , and charge his freehold with the payment of his debts. If this were the cafe, the only effect of this Bill would be to compel every man to do, what every hnnefl man would have felt it his duty to do had there been no filch a6l. He therefore per fevered in thinking the Bill ought to be paned. Mr. CANNING felt that tender veneration for the habits and practices of our ancettors, that he was ad verfe to any alteration in them, except upon vet y mature confideration indeed. Still it was not his o pinion that they fhould the cherifhed with any thing like a bigotted veneration, but rather that arty inno vation upon them (Mould be jealoufly refilled. The ftthjeet, he thought, fisould have ori g inated in the ether Houle of Parliament , where the high and learned magifirates of the law were to be found. Much as he approved of the principle of the Bill, he was ap prehenfive that fome of its provifions would be found extremely defective. He was afraid that, whle it went to Phut one door, it threw another wide open. It was to affat freehold property ; but, as to copy. hold 'tenures, it was to be completely inoperative.— Be had alfo another objection to make to it : there teemed to him as if there was a difpofition to facrifice permanent landed property to commercial conve nience. Now this was a facrifice he was by no means willing to ftibferibe to. He did not like this proje6l of melting land into the currency of commerce. The progrefs of the dreadful change which had taken place in a neighbouring country lhould tender the Houfe extremely cautious how they broke in upon any of our venerable inflitutions. It was not fufficient that flight defects fhould be difcovered in it. There was nothing fu facred in our fyilem of laws in which fome inconvenience was not to be found. The law of primogeniture, for indance, was liable to great exceptions ; but he believed no man would be rath and daring enough to prvpufe that it fhould be abo billed. He was glad to fiod that the attention of the .Houfe had been direfled tc. the fajtel, and he trolled it would be difcufred with all the temper and mode ration due to its very great importance. ThCSnLICITOR GENERAL and Mr. CANNING offered a few ebfervatians in the way of c x;,lanation. The ATTORNEY GENERAL could not per ceive the danger which fume Gentlemen feemed to apprehend from the Bill introduced by his Rieht Hon. and Learned Friend. He c lefidered the public as under great obligations to him for having pro poled it. If there was any thing extraordinary in the meafure, it was that it had not been introduced many years ago. What was the object of this Bill ? Nothing more than to oblige a man, or thofe who derived from him, to do juttice to his creditors. Was there any peculiar hardfhip in this ? With regard to the obfervation about the propriety of fir fl difcuffing the fubjea in another Houfe, it was nor, in his opinion, enticed to much weight. There was nothing in the fubjea which rendered it more tit for one Houle of Parliament than the other. Mr. PLIWEVAL was for giving ample conflier ation to a meafure which recommended itfelf fo Rrongly to the feelings of every hanefl and well in tentioned man. He could not agree with his Learned Friend who fpnke lall, that the meafure was In ob vious and prominent, that it was afloniihing it bad not been before propofed to the conlidera , ion of Parliament. The very circumnance of its never having been propofed made him paufe arid hefitate about i!s adoption. The difficulty refpeeting copy hold property, he was fearful no ingenuity cf his Learned Friend who introduced the Bill could pclli• 'oly remove. There was, however, fufficient in the Bill, as far as he had viewed it, to recommend it to his confederation. In a Committee much might be done towards removing the ohjeßions, and the prin ciple had his hearty concurrence. Mr. MORRIS made a few obfeivations in ftipport of the Bill, which was read a fecond time, and orde:cd to be committed tomorrow fe'nnight. FINANCE. Mr. HOBHOUSE brought up the Report of the Committee of Finance. On the motion for taking it into confider Ilion, Mr. STU ROES BOURNE complained that in making fuck a confiderable alteration in the fyllem of Finance, the Houle was called upon to decide upon it within a few d:tys after i: had been propofed, with out b.ving the proper documents or the proper efii mates of the war :axes. There was indeed an elli mate of the war and permanent taxes, but there the produce of the war taxes was only taken at four teen millions in(lead of z i millions. He conceded the propriety of impoling no new taxes for three years, but difapproved of the event to which the Noble Lord's plan was carried, st hich brought us at lad to an increafing debt. and a diniiitithing Finking rand. lie difapproved of the alterations made with refpat to the Sinking Fund, and (tithe plan of pledging the war taxes, many of which it would he delirable to repeal in time of peace, the Tea and Spirit Tax might be continued, care being taken to prevent furnggling. But the Ship Tax ought to be repealed ;—and the Malt Tax ought certainly to be modified, even if the Property Tax lhould he continued in its (lead. He really hoped the Noble Lard would not pet na in carrying forward this meafure to night, confidering the latenefs of the hour. Mary pert: ns in the Houle did not yet underhand the pia,' ; and, as a proof, he mentioned that an Hon turalrle. Gentleman, at the elofe of the dirt:l.lllon the other rtiohr, had proceeded to calculations which had ailorillied both fides of the Houfc. He ditclahned all delire of unnecerfaiy delay, or any party motivea in difetifling this quell Lion. But a meafare of this magnitude cughr not to be pterfed forward without tuftieient time being allowed to examine, elpecially as there was no need - - lity for tulle. His Lordfltip had not to raile any new taxes, end no inconvenience would at - ad liorn Tome delay in Conti-at:tie:4 for the loan. A converfation then took place, as to the propriety d pottpuning the lot :her co:i:ideration of the Repot t.

Thc Cite:ice:lCW. of the Lc H t QTER at length left • it to the •ilfcretion of due Gentlemen on 11:c other fide, whether the Report fliould ddcufred now or to morrow (this day), and the confideration of the Re port was accordingly pnliponed.—Adjourned.

KING, and Mr. HADDEN, Sir Home's Secretary. On the tli of December the Sampfon man of war, Admiral STIRLING, arrived in the River Plate, having on board General GREY, who is to fucceed General BAIRD in the command at the Cape. Ad miral STIRLING, as the public already know, carried out with him orders to filperftde Sir HOME PePHAM, in the command of his Majefly's (nips at the River Plate. It had been arrange:l by Admiral STIRLING, that the Sampfon Ihould fail on the 13th of Decem ber fur the Cape, with General GREY, and proceed from thence to England, as convoy from that fettle• ment and St. Helena. The Admiral propuled to Sir Hornz to take his pairage in the Sampfon, which he declined ; but requeffed a tianfport, which the Ad. miral could not fpare. He however accommodated Sir How: with the Rolla, which he had captured. As the Admir4l had Gccalion for all the hands on board of her (twenty five in nun.ber) Sir HOME POPHAM was allowed to procure as many men as he requited, to proceed on his voyage, from other (burets. When the men were procured, and the fhip was n e arly ready to fail, the PHEASANT, one of Commodore DoNNELLY'S fquadron, arrived, and gave hopes that the ARDENT man of war, and her convoy, might be very loon expe&ed. In confequence, Sir Homy POPHAM requefled he might wait the convoy's arri• val. A fortnight, however, having elapfed, and no further account of it being received, Sir HOME em• barked on board the Rolla. The veffel fct fail on the 27th of December, and arrived at Weymouth on Monday evening, after one of the quid:eft vny ages ever known.

'The SAMPSON failed, as was propofed, on the 13th of December for the Cape. Before the expiration of the time allnwed by the Spanifh Proclamation, for the failing of foreign vef. fels from Monte Video, feveral American veffels were obliged to leave that port, or become captures ; fome of them being alfo liable to be taken by our cruizers.

BURGER, Airly Calle Tucfday night was the moo feverely cold, and tempeauous that has been known for many years paft ; the Iron was mon inteßfe, and the fall of fnow heavy in the Northern and EAnern Counties. During the high wind yeflerday morning a great part of Richmond Garden•wall was blown down. Several trees in St. James's Park were likewife blown down ; and much damage was done to the (hipping in the Dc-wm, as will appear by our Deal and Dover letters. The Good Intention, LUST, from the Baltic, is totally 101 l on the coall of Jutland. AA article of intelligence which appeared in this Paper a te• days ago, has led Come perfons to fop. pole that (Le meafure of abolifhing the Slave Trade, which the Prefident of the United States, in his S,reech at the opening of the Sellion, arongty urged the Congrefs to adopt, had met with forne op polition in palling through the Legifla:ive Body.— Nothiug can he further from the truth than this fop petition. The Bill for (freeing the abolition of this traffic paired the Senate without a divition, cr even a debate. In the Houle of Reprefentatives, the prin ciple of the Biil has been equally unrefilled ; and the only difference of opinion which had arifen upon it, when the ha accounts left America •, refpeeled the cl :ufe which provided for the difpofal of the Slaves who might be I,:ized and forfeited under the ACt. It was at lall determined that they fhould be free, and flnuld be Irritably provided for by the United Slates. Nothing can more fatisfaftorily prove the laudable anxiety of the American Government to free them (elves from the guilt of the Slave Trade, than this— that, although the ACI of Confederation, puts it out of the power of Congrcfs to prevent the importation of Slaves into America before the t 7th of January, 'flog, yet that Congrefs are now legiflating profpec tivsly, (by an 'la which makes it felony to import a flave alter that day) fo as to prevent any flave voyage from being begun, which (hall not terminate before the end of the relent year. Asa proof of the general opinion entertained of this trade in America, it may he proper to mention, although the General Congrefs h:td nu power to make laws on this fubjea, which thould take effeet hefor e January the 17th, i SoS, yet that every State in the Union, with one exception, had abolifhed it more than ten years ago. South Carolina furnifhes this folitary exception, and even in this State attempts have been made annually for fome years paft, to abolifh this trade, which have failed generally by a tingle vote. The attempt was renewed by the Le giflature of that State in December latl, and failed again only by a Tingle vote. But the quellion on this occafion related limply to the continuance or dilcon tinuance of the Trade for the prefent year; for when that year than have terminated. the Aft of the Ge neral (2r:rigid's will loped - We all provincial legiflation on the fobjeCt. • see the American Newtrpers filed at the New York.
