'Among there, the Forgery Law Extenfice Bill, the I Warebnoling Bill, the Ifle of Man Smuggling Bill, and the Bei• tillt and Irith Corn latportadoo Bill, were read a third time and parted. , i The Howth Harbour Bill, the Militia °Ricers Remuneration, the Palace Yard Improvement Bill, and the Corn Ad Amendment i Bill,feverally paired through Committees of the whole Houle, and : • ,were ordered to be repotted. i On the occafioo of the Report of the Palate Yard Improve ! meet Bill _ The fart of SUFFOLK took oecallon to obterve, that a Om of the intended Improvements and Alterations, including thok pro poled io that Houk, ought to be bid before the Houle. With re (pea to the butiful raped! of that venerable edifice the Ab bey, which the openings now nuking would afford, he etpreffed This hope that they would not be doled up by newly eredted build ings. On the whole he thought the fubjedt worthy of the con& deratiln of that Houfe. A number of Bills were brought op front the Commons by Mr. Henderfon and Sir J. W. Anderfon ; leveret of them were private or return Bills ; among the public Bills prefentcd were the Dublin Paving Bill, the frith Infirmaries Bill.the Straw Plat Bill, the Spanifh Red Wine, and the Thames Tunnel Bills. Thefe were refpedivelv read a firft time. The Earl of SUFFOLK took the opportunity, on the reading of the frith Infirmaries Bill, to Rate his opininn, that the fyftern adopted with refpcdt to Infirmaries, and the Medical treatment of Poor, greatly required improvement; he adverted to fomething like the principle of the Bill foe Irehnd jolt read, as advantageous to be adopted in this country. COLoNiAL r IRCOURIII WITH AMIIILICA. Lord HOLLAND rote to bring forward his pro mifed motion for force important information on this - fubjed. He prefaced it with a very able and argu mentative fpecch, of con fi clerable length. He de fcribed the proceedings which had taken place in tome of the Britifh Welt India Ma ids. particularly in Jamaica, which induced him to think the prefent appeal to the wifdom of Parliament neceffary. They arofe principally from the condo& of the Governors of thofe 'Bands, with refpee to the difcretionary power exercifed by them, relative to the commercial intercourie between the iflands, and the United States of America. He alluded to the Snfpenfion of the Navigation Laws, in one point of view, but more efpe trinity to the reftriaive power exercifed by them with Yelped to the importation of American produce ; fo recelfary for the fufienance of the iflands, or the thip. ping of that country. The line of conchal to which he referred, either in a political or commercial point of view, was of the molt ferious Importance, and nil/ more, as it ale/led the fupply of the Wands with articles of the fint neceffity, as lumber and provi fions: The inhabil ants of Jamaica in particular felt it fo firongly, that their Legitlative Affemblies made repeated reprefentations to the Governor upon the fubjea, who, in one of his anfwers, Rated, he could not permit the importation in neutral bottoms longer than a given period. With refped to the queltion, though as affecting the interefts of the glands, of great importance, was Rill of greater, as it may affect the commercial intercourfe and good undlerftanding be tween this country and the United States of Ameri ca. He deprecated every thing like a narrow, fel% • commercial policy with refpett to America. Mini fters fhould confider the circumnances and fituation of America, the great importance of continuing that good underltanding, and extenfive commercial and friendly intercourfe which now happily fubfifts be tween the two countries, and to which their common origin, language, and manners, fo very fortunately difpored them. One of his objeas in coming for ward was to give an opportunity to his Matefty's Minifters to difclaim any fuck notions or principles as actuated their condo& with refpeft to the rade tions on the trade and commercial intercourfe be tween the Welt India Bland: and America. It fo happened, and fortunately, he thought, that our Well India Hands could not be adequately fupplied with' articles of the firft neceffity, except from the United States. He thought this was eventually fortunate, becaufe the important confideration to which he ad verted would operate as an additional inducement with the Government of this country to cultivate a friendly underftanding with America. He adverted to fame ineffectual attempts which had been made under former adminiftrations to fupply our Weftl,ndia iflands from the Britilh dominions in North America: Adverting to the incalculable importance of the Ame rican commerce to this country, he oleferved, that any attempts to exclude America from the trade of our Weft India Wands, would be worfe than the conduct. as related in the antient fable, of the dog in the manger, whole determination was comparatively wife and liberal. It would go to remind him of the fable of the two petitioners to Jupiter, to whom the Godhead faid, that whatever he gave to the one, the other fhould have double—then, faid one, in a paroxyfm of folly and malignity, give me blindnef, in one eye, that my neighbour may be blind in both eyes ? So would it be metaphorically, did this coun try with to exclude America from our Weft India trade, upon the narrow principle of commercial jea ioufy. His Lordfhip took a view of the policy and effects of the Navigation Aft, in its different bear ings--and argued, that the changes in the fyftem of Europe, and the relative fituation of this country. rendered the policy of actin :upon it very differetuftom what it was at its firlt enactment. In war, generally (peaking, it was impracticable. He wined the af fairs to which he adverted were plactd on a liberal footing and permanent balls—and it was important they fhould declare what line or (Mr of condua they intended to adopt, refpeding the intercourfe be tween America and our Welt India colonies, in time of war. Through the whole of his fpeech, more el: pecially towards the conclufion, the Noble Lord ex patiated upon the great national importance, either is a political or commercial view, of maintaining an amicable intercourfe and clofe connection with America--and repeated, that one of his principal ob jees in coming forward was to give Miniften an op. portunity of difclaiming all notions of narrow or_fel- Mk policy, with refpee to the intercourfe in queftion, a circumliance which would give :great fatisfadion tit all parties ; and with refpee to their intended fyf tem in future, he thought they Mould be explicit.— His Lordthip concluded by moving an Addrefeto his Majefly, " for the production of th e communication which took place between the Legiflative Affemblies of Jamaica and his Majefty's Governor of that Iftand, touching the intercoune between that colony and the United States of America, from the-commencement of the war with France, to the rift of May lag; alto of the correfpondenee between his Majefty's State for the Colonial Department, and of Jamaica, on the fubjee, within the fame interval—alfo, for various documents, refma ing the quantities of provirions, &c. imported from America and the ;fiend of Jamaica, at certain given periods, dillinguithing thofe imported from Britith AnSerica, and thole from the United States of America." The queftion being put on the Erg motion ; The Earl of CAMDEN, in allufion to what had tranfpired on the fubjea on a former evening, obferv ed, he had gated that no counter-orders had been fent out to the Governors. The orders which were fent relative to the conduct of the Governors, refpea ing the fubjeft in quedion, were precifely to the fame dee as thofe fent out for the fame purpofe. during the lag war. By the A 4 of the zBth of the King, he obferved, all goods and commodities were prohi bited from being imported into the Britilh Weillndia Manch from the United States of America, with the exception of certain articles, as provitions and lumber, in cafes of neceifity ; of thefe, the refpeative Gover nors were generally congituted the judges. They were to aft upon their refponfibility with refpeft to the admillion of thee articles. and bills of indemnity were paired, when,they had acted contrary to the law. The Noble Earl adverted to the extenlive na ture of the information called for—the propriety of accompanying there documents with others which wve neceffary for the full illuftration (lithe lOW,. and which, in this very advanced period of the Sef fion, it would be imprafticable to produce. He there fore, fubmitted to the Noble Baron the propriety of withdrawing his motion for the prefent ; or, in cafe he perfifted, he mould think it his duty to move the order of the day upon them. Lord HOLLAND fitortly explained. Lord HAWKESBUKY's objections were not fo murh againg producing the required information, as againft producing that alone, which would give a falfe prejudice upon the fubjea. and would by no means put the Houle in full polrefflon of the cafe.— Under that conviiftion, Minitters would feel it their duty alfo to move for a number of additional docu ments. With refpeft to what was faid of the refiric tions upon the trade in queltion, he had to obferve there were many reprefentations made, from refpec• table and important quarters, of a direa contrary tendency to thole alluded to by the Noble Baron, and reafons adduced that Government. inked of im pofing unneceirary reftriaions, were, in fad, too in dulgent with refpeft to that part of the trade of the United States, to the great detriment of the Britill merchants; their Lordftlipr would therefore fee the propriety of the propofed additional documents, in order to afford Parliament and the Public an oppor tunity to decide and judge thoroughly of the m erts of the queftioo. He admitted the fubjeft was one which any Noble Lord might fairly bring before Parliament, but the advanced period of the fenion rendered the production of the neceffary documents impraaicable. He was, therefore, of opinion with his Noble Friend, it would be preferable to poftpone the dirculEon to another fell - ion, when all the infor mation proper to be laid before Parliament could be produced. With refpeft to the line of condo& in• tended to be purfued by his Majeity's Government relative to the fubjea in (region, it would be regu lated by their convictions of the true interefts and charafter of the country, Old a 'due refpeft for the principles of the Navigation Laws. With refpeft to what was raid of their views, in regard to the trade of America, they would be regulated, by no 40- ment contrary to thole jug and liberal principles of commercial policy, fo well underitaiod in the prefent day ; upon principles, founded not only upon the true intereft of their own country, but even with a proper regard to the interest and pr,ofperity of Ame ' new herfelf.' " Earl STANHOPE contended that Miniflers had not' been fufficiently expliCit. particularli with .re fped to their intended conchs& during the . recefs. In. Read of giving a plain anfwer to the queries of. his Noble Friend, the - Seeretaii of State anfviered only by gmeralitier. His Lorellhip then (poke in fupport of Come of his Noble :Friend's leading arguments, with refpea to - the great importance of a good un• derßanding between America and thiteountry,whofe example the latter ought to follow, with refpea . to herlifie of internal and external Policy. -The Duke of MONTROSE' replied, with eonfi derable fPirit. to many of thi portions advaneed by the Noble Earl who (poke daft, whore warmth of ex preffien, he fuppofed, might afire from the warmth of the prefirit (carob—a period in which he gene rally thought proper to attend his duty in that Houk. He contended, that his Noble Friends had been fuf ficiently explicit . ; the orders given, they Rated, had been the fame as • during the IA war ' • and the line of condi:Et would be ;wavered in. Ile conceived that everycountry hid a sight to regulate the trade of its own colonies, and chit no other Rate could properly complain of it. With refpeet to the Noble EarPs•panegyrics upon America; be underficiod a certain Noble Earl had lately difrifed of hisproperty and gone to that country : perhaps. if the Noble ' Earl oppofite to him would follow' the example, he , might, after a fhort refidence in that counts Y.Aeturrn home in a better humour with bh own I • ' • - The Earl of LIMERICK was of opinion, the an- Ewers given by Minifters were explicit ; and advert• ed to the eonfideration, how far too great an indul gene; with refperft to the trade of America. worild operate injurioufly upon the trifle of Ireland With our Weft India Colonies. • The Earl of SUFFOLK fpoke in fupport of fume of the pofitions of his Noble Friends, Lords Holland and Stanhope. Lord HAWKINSBURY, the Earl of CAMIMN, and the Duke of MONTROIII, (poke feverally in explanation. Earl STANHOPE, in explanation, fetid it was the duty of a perfon in his fituation to watch over the interells and concerns of his country at home. and not to leave it becaufe he might be out of *humour, at the mikondua of weak, inefficient, and incapable The Earls of Daawt.sy and CARTS/01T fpoke &only in fupport of the leadlng arguments of Nuble Lords on that fide of the Houle. Lord HARROWBY briefly vindicated the con duit of Minitiers on the fubjee in queftion ; and be deemed th'em fufficiently explicit in their declarations. Lord HOLLAND (poke in reply, and contended that Miniftcrs bad not been explicit ; their declara• dons were mere generalities; in allufion to what was faid *of the emigration of a Noble Earl (Selkirk) to America, he referred to his late work upon the fulled, which hs regarded is full of ufeful inforoia-i • tion, and vindicated the motives vihich inclosed that Noble Lord to go to the country in queftion. He warmly reprehended the idea of Noble - I.ordd being: told, when they openly and freely declared their opinions of the mircondud or incapscity of Miniflers, that they Ihould leave their country if they did not) like it. No, it was the duty, as his N.ible Friend well obierved, of perfons in their fituation to Ray in their country, watch over its interelis, endeavour to refeue it from deitrahon, and to abide its fate.— Such was the duty of Members of that Houfe, and they who afrerted otherwife knew little of the duties of the Legiflature. The Duke of MONTROSE raid a few words, in confequence of what fell from Noble Lords oppoiite he would not be dilated to, as to the line debate or obfervation he fhould parfue. He would adopt that which he thought mon likely to conduce to his objea ; it was not his praSice to rebuke others, mi -1 ther would he be rebuked.—The queftioni being loudly called for, a divifion took . place. For the motion, B—Againa it, Lt.—Maim-ay, 6. The Earl of WESTMORELAND moved, that Cher; be laid before the Houle, copies of all Petitions and memorials prefented to his Majefly's Government on the part of the Duke of Athol, in the year .8o; I and that the fecond reading of the Bill, granting an annuity to John Duke of Athol, be fixed for Monday next, and that the Lords be fummosed on•the occad fion.—eOrdered.—Adjourned. for copies of tt Secretary of 5 the GOUIIIOT - HOUSE OF COMMONS. The Houk went into a Committee on. Moor% Divorce BiUt Mr. Adam was heard as Counfel in fupport of the Bill, awl evi dence was adduced to prove. the fads of Margiage and adultery. The Ho-ife alfo went iota a Committee on Garioer's Divorce Bill, before which Counfel was baud, and witneffes examined in fupport of the Bill A Meffage was delivered from the Lords, Rating that they had agreed to the Eight hocalion the Two Million and a Half, and the One Million and a Half Lo an Ms, the Ilk of Man Duty Bill, and feveral Privae Bills. Mr. WHY I'BREAD brought up the Report of the Committee which had tree appointed toe:amine into the Lords' Journals for information as to their Lordihips proceedings in eaks Raabe to that which was now broight againft Lord Melville.—Ordered to be laid ea the table. The Chalon Bay BM was read the third time, potted, and or dered to the Lords. An anfwer scat ordered to be feat to the Lords, in reply to their meffage, requelting the evidence vs be laid before them, on which the Houle had paired the Duke of: Athol's Compenfation Bin, fig aifying that fuck a communication of evidence was contrary to parliamentary ufage. The Houfe, on the motion of Mr. YANSITTART, refolved into a Committee on timid& Revenue Regulation Rill; went through the fame; reported fortftwith,and orderedto be enrolled. The Southust Whale Piker, Bill was reported, and ordered to be 'read a third time tomorrow. The ATTORNEY GENERAL moved that the Lords'Ainend meets in the Stipendiary Curates Bin be now taken into conkleca don ; which being agreed to, when the Speaker came to tome which altered the quantum of money, he reminded them that it was of fuck a nature that that Houfe could not, continently with its peculiar privileges, concur in it. On the motion of the ATTORNEY GENERAL, the further confideration of the Bin was poßponed to this day three months. He then fail, that as the &Rion was fo near its dote, and that his motion might be productive of fome difeuffion, he thould defer bringing it forward till early in theism (Atm.

IMPEACNMIIIIT AGAINST I.OIILO MILVILiIt. • _ _ Mr. Vi — firißßEAD br;ught up theiteptrt or reteSominicter appointed to prepare articles of Impediment aguinft•lienry Cord Vilonunt Melville. The Hon. Member then Rated, that the number of articles was eight. He had himfelf thought thai the tranfaelion relative to Mr. Jellicoe's arrears, was ftrong to conflitute a diflina Article in the Impeachment; but, as it was found that that cafe did not make an equal degree of impreffion on the minds of other Gentlemen in the Houfe, that tranfadion was now excluded. And, though the ar ticles might be fomewhat extended on account of ne ceffary forms, there was in fad no new 'natter but that which was contained in one article only. It had been already mentioned, that thcre was the fum of to,oool. unaccounted for, or in advance at the time that Mr. Trotter became Paymaller to the Navy.— There was a fum of to,oool. alfo, which had been mentioned by Lord Melville in his defence in that Houfe, the application of which he had refuted to reveal. Now, he wifhed it to be clearly underftood, that that fum appeared t 6 the Committee to be entire ly feparate and diftind from that which had been . previouny - mentioned. and that, therefore, it formed a new Article in the Impeachment, which they had the honour to prepare. The runt of ax,ocol. which had been borrowed without intereft, and the 22,0001. for which intereft had been paid, were both already fpoken of, and of courfe the Houfe were aware that they would form a parr of the Articles to be drawn Iv againft that Noble Lord.. There Wass fum amounting to fomething from to 0120,0001. which had pallid through the hands of, Tweedie ; with this circumftance the Houle . `was already acquainted.— Thtrk was another charge, however, which had not yet been mentioned ; ang; though it confifted of no thing that was new in point of falt,-be thought it ne ceffary to (fate it to the Houfe—that mos. a general charge of violation of the law. As the whole world not be likely to be printed before Monday, he flinutit conclude with moving, firfi, That this Report be printed ; and fecondly, That it be taken intofurther confideration on Monday;.—The motions were then unanimoufly agreed to, and orders mad; accordingly. TROTTER'S INDEMNITY _ Mr. WHITBREAD moved the order of the day I for the third reading of the Bill for indemnifying t witneffes on Lord Melville's Impeachment, from any legal con,fc4uences of their teßimony.—The Bill was read the third time, when Mr:WHITBREAD rote again to offer, by way of rider to the Bill, a particular claufe of indemnity is favour of Mr. Trotter. He begged to remind the Houfe of a declaration made by the Noble Lord, againfl whom they had voted the impeachment, that there were tranfataions between him and Mr. Trotter whith none but either could reveal ; it was therefore of high importance to obtain, if poffible, the tellimony of W. Trotter upon nutters of Inch cautious feerecy, whiehit was very natural to conclude mutt be highly. effential to the carafe of jutlife. There were, it was ttae, lawyers of fume eminence, who held that no tallintony given by Mr. Trotter before the Houk of Lord...could be turned to his own difadvantage upon l i this or any other ground in evidence before a Court • ,of Law; and there were other lawyers who main tained the contrary opinion. To obviate a however, a(lubts upon the fulije, and to rel;ere Mr.Tte mind from all apprehention and embarratiment, telped to any confequences that tnight be r o p po f,.,, to attach upon him, frnm hit declaring the t, as well as to eafe the appreher,Con , o r f ut Bond) who had manifefied throughout the whole t e h ie in R t i ll g i h s t e. H re o ' n. Gentleman over agalmt 11'm (m, this In liners the molt honoreable, manly, and digr.: (Mr. Whitbreact) teat hip : e y d in fe t e a li k n i g ng , a i n h d is ti o ch h fecund pp L rtunity to acknowledge. he felt it right to prnpofe the prefent claufe, the fa.). fiance of which was, that no evidecce given by Els witnefs os witnefTes in this cafe fhouki be read againk him or them, in any fuit or profecution commenced, or to be commenced againft them, by or o.TI belt& of his Majefly, any law to the contrary notwithkanding. ' This claufe, he conceived, in addition to the . other clank already inferted in the Bid, and indetnnifytn the witnefies from any civil lint in confequenee 0, their tenimonials, would be fufficient to obviate air apprehenfions on the part of Mr. Trotter or others. Sir WILLIAM ELFORD thought the claufc did not go far enough to put Mr. Trotter totally out of the reach of embarraffment. It declared, indeed, that no tellimony given by him fhould be read in est dence in any fuit agaiolk him, but though it might not be read in evidence, it might be ufed to create in men's minds injurious impreffinns againa him. The Hon. Baronet produced, in fupport of hisobjeßions, an opinitin of Connfellor, Dallas on the nature of evi dence, and a cafe in reake's Nifi Prins. It ankh: fait}, be the wifb of every one, that in this ears fob- Randal jullice Druid be done, and to this end it was neceffary the witneffee to be adduced fhould be clear from all embarralfment of apprehenfion for any ill confequences of their teftimony to themfelves ; be. fides, I.ord Melville would have the advantage of their crofs examioation, and if Mr. Trotter's evi dence fhould not go to a fufficient extent to convict the Noble Lord, might. many years hence, operate to his prejudice, and be confirited as the difbelief of his teflimnny & and, therefore he thought that, in addi tion to this clank, them Could be fo r me other, for put. tin g a complete flop to all civil Ruts in this cafe. Mr. WHITBREAD faid, he had propofed the Claufe, conceiving it fully competent to all the objeas mentioned by the Honourable Baronet. It was for the Hon. Baronet, or the Houle, to do with the Claufe what they thought proper. Mt. STURGES BO,UttNE thought the Clank not competent to its profeffed ohjea. becaufe a man, might be indided for perjug on the ground of his evidence. Mr. Serjeant BEST thought the Claufe much more favourable to Mr. Trotter than he had any right to ex . pea. Its main object wits to render him a better viinefs than he otherwife could be, without s rifle of injury to hintfelf ; and his Honourable Frientt ip fhapini it, 'had done much more for Mr. Trotter,, than in fairnds hE could hope for. An Honourable Baronet (Sir W. Word) had talked of &curing Mr. Trotter againd future apprehenfions, but he fhould be lorry indeed to fee his Honourable Friend in the predicanient tf being obliged to frame fuch a chafe, in the prefent cafe, as Gould guard filch men as Mr. Trotter againft all future apprehenflons ; nor could he fee why Mr. Trotter Gould be placed on a round of feeling different from other men in firgilar &cunt; deuces ; any Court of Law would proteft him againti, the confequence of his evidence in criminal cafes; and his Hon. Friend went Hill farther, by protefting him l in civil cafes; and litre he was, Mr. Tro:ter was en titled to no more than the Bill fo amended would al low him. If, after giving . his teilimony, it Gould appear that further indemnity was requifite, it would be for the High Court before whom that teflimony would be offered, to frame a law for the porpok, which he was fore would not meet with any refillanee" • frtm his Hon. Friend, or thole who fuppoitedhim. Mr. DUNDAS declared his tole obieft to be the complete indemnification of Mr. Trotter. ' ' Mr. WHITBREAD •declared his objeft to be pre cifely the fame; the claufe had been drawn up by an able lawyer for that purpofe. Mr. ALEXANDER wifhed to poßpone the third . reading of the Bill, with a view to re-confider the chide, or adopt Come other nsore completely anfwer able to its profeffed objects, or elfe to leave the law . . as it at prefent Rands on the fulled. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHDZIER Paid, that Mr. Trotter certainly was a material w;t nefs, bat he could not be brought forward without indemnification ; nor could he be ailed to give evi dence under a liability to any future civil fuit found ed upon his teftimony. It would be no hanky to a matt, that his evidence could not be read okay future occafion againft him in one fhape, while the fubflance of that evidence might be turned againft him in another. He nnetedlood it to be the intention of the Houle, 'when criminal profeceon was adopt ed, that all civil fuits Gould not only be fufpended, but abandoned ; and therefore he had no dontit, that when Impeachment againft Lord Melville was =foie eiron, that all civil proceedings would be flopped ; and in the cafe of Mr. -Trotter, it vies impoffible to call upon him for evidence, unlefs ell civil pro ceedings againtt bim were. compktely (topped ; and if this was the opinion of the Houk, there Mould be fume claufe or refolution adopted clearly and de cidedly to that cite& Mr. WHITBREAD Paid, that if fuch was the fenfe of the Idoufe, he fhould :.ortfent to withdraw his motion,- ' Mr. C. W. WYNNE fpoke in favour of a total ex emption. • • . • . • •• • Sir W. BURROUGHS was of the fame opining.
