What he meant Vas I1`.,•;. Ire Ctn• by the Treaty with Ruffia, that Denmark and Sweden were to be invited to accede to it, at the fame time referring to conditions of other Ttestirs between us and thofe two powers. Theft: latter Treaties he thought ought to be he fere the Houle, in order to the complete under :landing of the prefent queflion. Ltaal Hoe tar and:the LORD Clear MUM, each fpc ke a few words in reply, in which they con tc:o that there was no oceafion for other materials in order to the prefect diteufrion. Lord HOLLAND fidel, he did not mean to perfiß in ailing for the Treaties he alluded to, but he thought they ought to have been before the Boole. The Order of the Day being read— Lord DAP.Ntny then laid, l.c never rote with more fatisfaCtion than upon the prefent occafion, tv, it was to exprefs the fatisfaaion of the Houfe at the honourable end complete arrangement of a matter, in which its commercial intereßs were moil deeply concerned. Our maritime prnfperity had attained filch a pitch of eminence, and had done fir for :belt a length of time, that we had long been filbjeeled to the envy of all furrounding nations, who had !limn every difpofition to avail therufelves of the advantages of eiteumflances, to attack our maritime rights. It was In at the dole of the lag war, when they thought that we were reduced and exhaufled by a concurrence of calamitous event*. They then entered into a Trtettv which was known by the name of the At teed Neutrality, and which, if its provifions had ever, been carried into (fee, would have laid the axe to the root of our commercial profperity. It va, at the clot': (lithe prefent war, that the Nor thern Nations again availed themfelves of what they confidered a favourable 'unsure , to revile their former pretedions ; but he had the happi. ucfs of feciag near him a Noble Lord (Nelfon) who gave them a fpeeimen of what they might expel from this Country, if they had pee - died in them. His Lot dfhip then Rated the new afrump. thins of the ellen); :—vie. the exemption from fearch ; that ill:tor:11 Lottorris made neutral goods; —and that Las al lions arc not contraband of war. lie nest entered into a detail of the arguments ufed by the belt writers on the Law of Nations, to Phew that our pre:en:ions Qll there points were con f orma bl e to the Law as it had always been re ceived among the nations of Europe. by the preterit Treaty- the quellion hereafter would be at reit. It never hereafter could be faid, that neutral bottoms made neutral gokuds. That was molt completely abandoned ; and the right of fearch was alto unequivocally admitted. 'ft was given up, indeed, in one point, and in that point he thought it was mod wifely In dore. It was in this: —that neutral met chantmcn, under the convoy of I a thip of war, ihould not he fcarched by a priva teer. Thi.i he thought was an exception derogat ing Co very little from the general princif.le, that no one could think it unreafonable. There was ore point indeed in the Treaty which might he ad verted to, that in Rating what was contraband of war, it did not include nay.ll Flores, but merely pikes, guns, :Words, &e. Though naval (hires sees e in the general contraband of sear, yet that they wete not made to in this Treaty was of no great importance, and the reafon for it arofe out of the very imperfect date of the Rudian marine. They as a cornice:eh:l nation cenlil injure us very little in theft: points. Their commerce was but final! : their marine iufivnifieant,and their harbours frozen up tier halfthe year. While, therefore, thee points were let-tired b , : (-T ante Treaties with- Denmark and Sweden,as they were—this conceilion to Ruflia could be ve:y injuricus to us. His Lortifhip then entered into ;he other Articles of th.e Treaty, and eantentled that they contained the molt fa. tistaaary adiedment of the late siiipute with the Not them Powers. 1 , r.on thefe grounds he moved, " an hutti!oo Aidri-fa he pr . ...enter' to Itia Tajefig, Don,: iy Ma . .c,ty h)r his gracious, tc , • ~c at the With Nlr:licrn ta aZura : 1 / 4 1.,;.•11.y a th.dr t.n . lialcoticurri.rec and ;T. !, rio•t effectual mean of ftahlifiling tricridilii?

Z Att.: •„ dellrotts to point out wl.at he confldeeed would be the confequences refulting from the Treaty in its pre(cnt fhape. Though he did not with to oppofe -it, he could not concur in it. His objed in flat. ing the grounds of his &flew, and the effect of ',heti articles a as, that thole who were in the Exe• euti ye Government might, by further arrangem!ut and negotiation, remove thole ambiguities which he thought exifted in the prefent form of the Treaty ; ned by future explanation fu amend it, that hereafter there. might wife no doubts in its . conftrudion. When he confidered the interval of delay which had taken place between the ligning the Treaty, and the period of its being laid before Parliament, he had no doubt but it arofe from the • circumflance of further negotiation being actually going on between the Courts. He did not (peak from any knowledge of the no, but he thought himfelf warranted from circumftances, in drawing that inference. It was for that realon alto that he wiflied to (late his doubts. He apprehended that it would have been better to have *puftpoited the confederation of the Treaty until by thofe further arguments, explaining the doubtful and equivocal parts of it, the Honfe would have had a full and complete A:ew of the fubjed; and it was upon this ground alto that he could not veneer with the Addrcfs, in tinting the Treaty. to be a corn. plete arrangement of our interefts, while further arrangements were pending. The Treaty w:ts unfatisfadory as to this previous point : it invited Denmark and Sweden to accede to the Treaty, which left our naval limes as the contraband of war. This might be of no gout importance as to Ruffle, but Sweden had claimed the fame ex emption ; and before he could decide upon the full merits of the queftion, he ought to know whether Sweden had relinquifbed thole claims by any other Treaty t It was molt important that the point fhoold be fettled: and the moll favourable opportunity had prefented itfell of fecuring the interells of this country on thole molt important points. The queflion having been forced upon us, it ought not now to be blurred over. The Mari timeliowers would never be lefe able to alit the Norrhein ones in their claims than they now were, and as they had themfelves railed the quellion, it ought now to be fully put to refl. He admitted that there were fome approaches to it by the prefent Treaty, but he hoped Out before it was totally done with, it might be made to conflitute a code of laws upon the fubjed, which might be appealed to on all future ovations. It was in that view of the ft:Ned that he was Anflt to offer to their Lordlhips his contiderations upon the operation of the Treaty. There were two grounds of conli dering the f:iieflion—as relatiee to the aimed neu. trelity of 178,e, and as to the late confederacy.—' He could not Jo better in tiering the points in dif. pine, than take the order as they were (bated in f another place by the late Chancellor of the Ex chequer. There were five dillind propofitions ' maintained by us, and controverted by the North ern Powers. The t:rtt was, "Theft neutrals lheu'.d not carry on that part of the enemy's trade ii; war which they did not partal:e of in time of price." This divided itfelf into two branclae:, the malt ing trade from port to port of the enern's coun try, and the colonial trade. from the Colonies to the Mother Country. This frit, viz. the Coati ing Trade—the French excluded ell foreigners from in time of peace; and as to the fecund, it could never be don bted but that it was a fair object of captare. However, very early in the war the Americans remonftrated aeainit including them in this law, becaufe they Rated, that as they fup- j plied themfelvcs with Colonial produce frem the IVO Indies, if they were to be captured, they mull be under the neceflityof obtaining cirenitotifly from Europe what they ought to get dired from Mar tinique, or any other ifland. It was thought tea. tunable by his Mejefty's then Government, that this law fhonld not be refereed with regard to the American States, becaule their local lituation fumed a material difhintfi,n limn the other Eu ropean Towers. A (hip bound to America from the Weil Indies mull fail in a certain comic, and the very fad of a (nip being found out of a certain latitude wculd negative a pretence of her being bound to America. The fecond princi ple was, " lice did nut make free g 00.1.." The third related to "contraband of war." The fourth, " that a blockaded port might be fiv a ertii zing fquaclren—and that when a port was blockaded ; and notice given of it to neutral powers, all (hips bound to that port might be cap tered at any part; the dellination and I , :ciency of the blockading fqnadron appearing to he /...al pr." Oa the other hand, the enemy preo that the fquad,on mull be fuel'. a: intended to at tack the port ; or that it fhoold he ft:trio-are and fufficiently near to prevent approae . a withnet dan ger. In !bort, they infifted that the blockade of the port of imitated itfelf to the inve:tment of a city. The filth and last principle was, " that neutral nips fhotild not proted enemy's prop:ay," and as a coefei,:ienre of tl is of fearch.
