Mr. STURGES BOURNE had no objedlion to delay the fur• thcr contideration of the Bill, and therefore propofed that the Houle mould go into a Committee upon it, on Tburfday the asth of April, which was agreed to.

Mr. ROSE, in like manner, obtained leave to bring in a Bill for permitting the Importation of Good., Wares, and Merchandize, the produce of the United Status of America, in neutral Mips, for • time to be limited. Mr. ROSE then gave notice. that he fhould move to-morrow, that the Houfe Gould rc(olvc itfelf into a Committee to take into confideration the Order of Council, pemiittirs, in certain cafe., neutral Chips to trade to the ports of Spain, uutwithfianding the war with that country. •lIZE AGENCY. Sir WILLIAM SCOTT addreffed the Houfe to the following effect, after a (hors exordium on the na ture of captured property, and on the right acquired in it, as originating alone in the gcant of the Save- ,~ reign .—The Ads, he laid, which regulate this Cub jest, refped either t. The perfons to be entitlod to the property ; The Nations of the Courts to decide on its ay; ropriation; 3. The management of the property during the yroccfs , ana the diftribution of it after it has been adjudged. With regard to the &If, the provifions of the Ain vary in their application, according to the pecu liar circumaances and fituation of the parties. With refpet to the fecond, immediately affecting the contli lotion and dignities of the civil courts, theLeginature has been extremely tender of interpoling its authori. ty, and introducing new regulations. It has coati. fidered that the Courts of Admiralty are not rabic ted within the narrow limits of municipal inffitution: the law of nature and of nations is the foundatiuo on which they build ; all the fubjedsof foreign Rates, on the general principles of juttice and humanity, have a right to redrels for injuries recci veil upon tt e high leas, and look for protection to thefe ellat4ira incnts. The rights of parties grounded on theft vs, • L larged principles. are not lefs fact ed than thole wt.., ..1 are vetted on the fetid balls of the common law t 4 England ; and the charader and honour of every country, in a great meafu,e, depends on the regart which is paid to the jolt demands of individuals, pla ced in the moll remote regions of the world. There are three modes in which the bufinefs of prize agency may be concluded :-111, By a public OfScer---ad, By perfons feleded by parties interefted-3d, By a mixed mode, in which both thefe are comprifed. " The mode now purfued is the fecond I have named, and it has many recommendations, although the true necelfarity repofed has been liable to very ferious abodes. When we confider the number of perfons, refpedable for their eharaders, and for their property, who have been engaged in this bufinefs, we need not be furprifed that agents of that defcription have received abundant encouragement. The great queflion is, if under the violation of private right to which, in this mode of agency, individuals have been expofed, it would be eligible that public official men fhould interpofe ; and in our confederation of this, we are naturally led to enquire into the principal matters which affect the interens of the parties.— Fire, the fecurity of the property is the great objc&; it is better that it fhould be forthcoming, however late, than that it Zooid be wholly loft. While the decifion is withheld, it is material that the fund fhould be accumulating for the advantage of thofe who (hall be declared entitled to it. Should the property be invefled in real fecurities ? Certainly nut ; becaufe s from the nature of thofe fecurities, it would be If able to be empounded a confiderable time potlerior to the decifion, when the parties might want to apply the property to advance their interells in their own private concerns. If it cannot be inveeed in real ifecurities, much lets can it be dependant on the rills of perfonal fecurity, or fubmitted to the ha zards of trade ; even in its application in the public funds of the Rate, Come refped is to be paid to pri vate opinium and convenience, under the vicinitudes of national affairs. Doting one of the more atroci ous periods of the French Revolution, if any diffinc tion may be made in the political profligacy of that Republic, it was the pradice to hived one of the of ficers on board every Chip with the functions of a Judge of the Admita;ty, and by this means, ineandy that a capture was made, the prize was condemned, and an immediate distribution was made among tine fucceliful depredators. We are not, however, here governed by the laws of Algerine piracy, or the inny intim, of revolutionized France. England mull ad with good faith to every individual wherever he re. fides; documents mutt be procured, and all the par ties mull be heard. Delays have been complained of in our Court, and in Come relpeas, and to a certain extent, they are unavoidable. To give the panics an opportunity of appeal is neceffary, and this is one fouace of delay. It is well known, that the general law of Europe bas affigned the interval of a year and a day to the appellant. To prevent procraffination, the term of appeal was for Come time limited to three months, but however good the intention might be in this regulation, the legiflature found it neceffary to trace back its own Reps. Appellants in America, in Asia, or even in the remote parts of Europe, had not fufficient time to refill the decifton they thought inequitable, and the former interval for appeals was again conceded. The object then has been, during the delay, to make the effects fpeedily p:odudivc, and to attend to the accommodation of each party as much as poffible. If fecurity were the only objeer, the delivery of the property into the hands of a pub lic officer under the mandate of the Court, would be fufficient. In any new regulation on the fubjed of this queffion, however prudently formed, we cannot exclude all inconveniences. In chnfidering the tie feats of the prefent fyftem, we have the fatisfadion to difeern, that they arc neither great nor numerous. The late Ad, which is the prefent law on the fubjed, contains many provifions—fome of which I than &only (late, in order to thew, that the evils we ap prehend are not gigantic and formidable. Previous to this Aft, the Prize Agents gave no fecurity for the faithful difcharge of their duties. Now they are required to give fecurity to the firm of 5,0c01. Under former statutes, Agents might keep in their own hands the monies they received during the progreis of a caufe ; now the captors may compel the Agents to vet the procee).s in public fecurities, until the pro per time of distribution. Formerly, mariners could only recover their (hares by tedious proceedings in the courts of law or equity ; now they may attain their right by a (hurt and luminary proceeding in the Court of Admitalty. Under the former AZts, Ca. charges of the Agents were not fubmitted to t • mination and controul—now they may be intl., ed and reduced, where tLey are unreafonable, J. a very (mall expense to the parties.
