It seas to ' prevent to much of the trade as concerned the ins , . portation of Aftican Negroes by Britifh dips into. AR colonies conquered or ceded to us in the war, or , into the colonies of any neutral State in the Well , ,Ingljes. At prefent eveiy State that had Colonies in \ , . America, or tbe Welt Indies, and that were not afilual. .Iy.absearotrith us, availed Well of the opportunity of • Britifts dipping to carry on the trade. Even in time ,alf "corona: sotemies weep alfo Applied with Negroes - (us their colonies by Britith fubjells and by Writ& .capital. although in a more indirect manner. The orwoifts hands of St. Croix and 'St. Thomas formed depots in the. Well Indies, from which our enemies . could be rupplied with as many Negroes as they . wanted. and which were now brought there princh, pally krg Brilifh fubjees and Britifh dips. From tfwfe pc*, Cuba, St. Domingo, Martinique, and 1 ,Guadawe, and many parts of the Continent of rd ' SPaisi Anwirica, wros fupplied ; and when it Was ennfidetid, that there colonies were not only the • loortes of their prolpetity, but that they were alto ' the foundation of their maritime flrength and power, it would appear contrary to found policy that We ibould.afford them the means of rivalling oar collo , Dies, and of attaining a high degree of commer dlial. trolperity. The poffieffion of St. Dirtnisisto alone .was, sn this point of view, of incalculable yalue to : (Yrooce before the Revolution. It employe d . to a p vdigiOus dumber of dips, and fiormed a number oft . I f p en a = .Of the fettlementstbet had come late Our • Ow the commencement of the war, fame. .sope4.4?ght of enneteft, and therefore while they' rrentaioad, so oqr Potato's ? , his Maje fly bad tindoubt: sotAy Ow tiebt of .leglifootag for them.. There were .Aber& which were ceded by capitulation, the terms i oh loOsichpecefaiily reftritied this right of legiftation. 444 ; 111.4014 had already, by his proclamation, dated Illat 1011-PRA illoa, laid down certain limitations 1 , ihir iltp.re,fpeti. It was evidently againft the policy' etablo,qountry, that great importations of Oces , Ahouli take place in fettlements which per pe mien. be refired at the conclufiort of peace. He therefore moved for leave to bring . in a bill, to carry ,Into effee his" Majetly's proclamation of the tith of" 1 1' ' Anguilolhoa, for preventing the importation of Afri , I aan Negroes by bit& Subjects or Britifh [hipping, into the colonies conquered by, or ceded to us m the entitle of the war. The SPEAKER fuggeßed to the Right Hon. ,Gentleman. that, in point of form, it was necefary that • copy of that proclamation &cold be firtt laid before the Hood. Mr. FOX teemed to confider. that a proclama. *inn of his Majefty in Council might be taken notice of by the Houk without a copy. Mr. PERCIVAL did, that -this was a proclama tion not binding on all his Majelly's fubjeas, and, therefore, it could not be taken notice of by the Houle, Wes a copy were laid before them. He • fuggelled to the Learned Gentleman, that it would be the better way to withdraw his motion for the pre fent, and move for " an humble addrefs to his Mo. jetty, praying, that he would be gracioufly pleated to order a copy of the did Coder of Council to be laid before the Houfe." 'the ATTORNEY GENERAL agreed in this fuggellion, and gave notice, that he fbould to-mor row move for a Copy of the Order in Council. General TARLETON hoped the Right Hon. Gentleman who propofed this meafare,' would at leaf allow fufficient time to the merchants of this country to invettigate the fnbjed. It was certainly a matter of very great confequence. Sir WM. YOUNG observed, that in Tome of the iflands taken, particulary at Tobago, there could hardly be (aid to be a Frenchman. Inftead of capi tulation, it was with exultation that they law them- Oyes placed under the Britifh Government. Mr. Alderman PRINSEP thought the Right Hon. and Learned Gentleman had not made himfelf fuffi cietttly matter of the fubjeft. As to the power of :egiflating for the colonies that were ceded, as long as they &mold continue in our poffellion, it was a right, which, generally (peaking, was not rettrieed by any capitulation. The ATTORNEY GENERAL faid, that it was his intention to bring in hi, Bill as foon as poffible, that it might be read once before the reed's, which be thought would meet the ideas of an Hon. Gentle- Pfau (General Tarleton), and give fufficient time fur the confideration rf the fithjee. WAYS •ND MEANS. The order having been read for the Honk taking into further confideration the Report of the Commit tee of Ways and Means, Mr. FRANCIS, who fat on the Oppofition fide of the Houle, began by adverting to that citrons fiance, and declared he felt himfelf more at his cafe on that fide of the Houle : he had been to long oc cult dto fit at the left hand of the Speaker. that he felt no defire to change his fituation.—(4 laugh.) I Di (peaking from the oppothe fide of the Haute, be ,pod to be mute diftinaly heard by thole to whom I E .~ 4=nm. he principally addreffed his obfervations for what he had fail on a former night was mifqnderftood and mifteprefented ; he therefore wifhed now to relate what he then fail. The Noble Lord (Lord Henry Petty) had properly called it a converfation, and not a debate, to which the bufinefs of this evening would lead. For his part, he did not mean an oppofition to the meafures of the Noble Lord t it was never his Jwaflice to profefs friendfhip and fuppurt, and at the fame time to counterail the meafures of thole to whom he avowed fupport. On whatever fide of the Houfe he fat, he carried his principles with him; he fincerely felt for the Noble Lord that friendfhip and refpeft which he profeffed, but it was not the office of a true fervant-of the public, nor of a faithful friend, to fupprefs obfervations which appeared to him to delerve confiderable . weight. There was nothing Co ear,' as doing wrong at firil (he did not mean moral crime, but error), but it was much harder to get out of a wrong fyftern when one has once adopted it. Nothing was caller than get ting. into a labyrinth, and nothing harder than getting out of it again. There was no depart ment of Government in which it was more nerdfary to Baca with patience and attention to every obfervation, than in the department filled by the Noble Lord. It often happened, that from the ob fervations which were made, even by men compara tively ignorant, a Chancellor of the Exchequer might take Come uleful hints ; he therefore requelted the attention of the Noble Lord to what lie felt it his duty now to offer. With relpeft to the Property Tax, the fiat obfervation he bad to make was, that that clafs which die-Noble Lord had himfelf declar ed, ought to be anempted from the would be placed under lischaifficult and troublefoine eircum fiances that didliaMption would hardly be of any ufe to them. 'Minna annuitants, and the (matter tradefman, were called upon, in the fire place, to pay the tax, and afterwards the Tax-office was au thorifed to make repayments, which they might re cover as well as they could. It was not yet `fettled. by whit proofs of litigation they were to recover back their money. Befides the difficultof getting it back again, the small tradefman or t he ftnall an nuitant would find a confideraWe difficulty in mak ing the depofit. He was fore there were many per fens .who might make tool. a year by their trade, and yet would find it extremely difficult to get the rum of ten pounds. whiCh they would be called upon to pay by their property tax. As to the uoubk that attended gettia back any thing from thofe tax offi cers, be f ed ahnoft every Gentleman was ac quainted wit it. For his part, he had often been furcharged lay,the Commiffioners of ti* Income. Tax in the country, and alit:out he wifintd to refit fureltata,, he found it afoul he attended with Co much trouble, that it was the A way to give up the ftn'tY Alining", or fohatever-kwas, that the Com-- miffioners badovercharged. He confidered, that a ppor man, who was entitled to the exemp tion, . mull cell fo ones cis the Commillioners about ht, and lots fqmuch time. that it would be hardly worth pro& eating Ms right to repayment. He had another ob. joltion to there repayments by the Tax.officers. Hti ' thought that the public money lhould be . lrft as fkort a time as poMble at the Tax.officel t wberfas, _under this Om, it would be always neceffery pa have so confiderable fund depofited there, for the purpofe of theft repayments, which would export the palahe money to more hazard than was right, and might afford the means of improper application of it, by the perfons in whore hands it lbould fo lie. He had another obßion to the Property Tax hilts prefect Rippe. There WAS a conliderable portion ,of pro. perry in the counuy, be meant the Unfunded Debt, which paid nothng, and yet this debt amounted to above twenty millions, bearing an annual:hum-A of above a million. He had himklf been guilty of an unintentional fraud towards the Government: ha bad two Exchequer Bills of tool. eachin his poffef fion, which he had forgot to ppt in the Antement of his property, and about which no queftions had ever issen ailed him. He believed, that alutoft all the Unfunded Debt was equally free from this Tax. It had been impAd to the Noble Lord, as he thought wrongfully, that Come of his expreffions appeared to convey a gloomy profpeft of our financial refourees. U there bad been any thing of gloom in his Rate. aunt, Ise fboold have Rill preferred it to thole bright pidures which he bad often witqeffed in that Houfe, when Minifters pleated to Launch out in de fcriptions of the national profperity. He had many reafons for believing that the country was not in that Rate of profperity which bad been Co often deferib ed. When he law • country where the poor were maintained, not by their own labour, but when other clalfes of the community were obliged, in a manner, to divide their incomes with them, and were taxed to the amount of fie millions ann ually for their fop port, he could not believe that country to be in fuch a high degree of profperity. He allowed, that in the whole courfe of his life, he never law a greater lbew of wealth and abundance in this metropolis' than there is at prefect. ' That, however, was no criterion of a nation, as there might be at the fame time the greateft dißrefs in the provinces. It was a very memorable fad, that the city of Paris alfo exhibited the greateft figns of wealth and abundance during the Regency of the Duke of Orleans, and while the Miffiffippi fcheme was yet in exiftence ; but as loon as that projeft utterly failed, this chi merical and imaginary wealth &I:appeared ; Paris was ruined, and to was France. The appearances of wealth and abundance which an immenfe citcu lation of paper may give, are deceitful, and may, in a moment, be overturned. In this country, where every thing is paid for in paper, no man can fay pofitively what the amount of his property is. It is diminifhed if the paper be depreciated, and it is gone if the paper be difcredited. He law a molt ferious danger that menaced all the property of the country, and there was only one effeflual remedy for it. That remedy was this, 44 Let the Bank of England be bound to pay their notes in Cpecie, as their charter required." Although the Legiflature might be all-powerful, yet there were fOllllO things which it was not competent to them to do. He did not think it competent even to the Legillature to oblige the nation to accept of paper in exchange for property. Ai to the taxes which had been pro poled, his objettion was not to one, but to them all. He obje6ed to them en inaji.(A He meant the new texts, which were to provide fair the ictereft of the Loan. As to the Sinking Fund, although he had often heard it extolled to •- the Wes, and partienlaily by Midifters a tell the Houle honeftly what was his that fubjee. He thought it was no me' nor any thing which required fit perior gem clonceived. Sir Robert Walpole , and Minifter the country had, hots iTs de fiderable, propofed fontething like the to extingniffi the debt. He was, how.. pored to give lime credit to the Miniftt fuerfed to have originated the Sinking its prefent Otape. The country had now Fund of near 8,000,0t001. and he Amid ws the drat, or what was the otiidt appeared to him, that the whole of to keep the 3 per Cent. Gemini' at could fee no other benefit whatever was paid off, neither the nation, tffir felt thebenefit. Fre& taxes were la money had been paid off. When he the proportion of the Sinking Food to t, National Debt, was conilahtly increaring, forbear afklog, Who was the better for this It was neccllary that public credit fbould ported I but it was neceffary alto, should not be crulked by the weight thought it was not neceffary to apply Sinking Fund to the redodlion of the loin, part might be well applied in pri ceffity for laying new taxes. tie could even to keep the courali_up to 601. it neceffary to apply thosehole of this I . reduetioo of the debt.

This Irma difficulty which year, and he knew cafes where a Pant with bufipefs had been at as obtain information how he was t, tax itfelf amounted to. As it man with of every Member that thole difficulties as much as poffible removed, w L come into the Committee, every nature would, of costrfe, meet the tivn. As to the unfunded debt, he took of the fubje& (but fir wrong), was, that as Exchequer premium, that premium would be fu the exemption, that Government w at much lly it as by the tax being fubfequent converfations wish men thofe fubjeas much better than he the premiums, which they often bea fome collateral caufe, and thetefo his fire opinion, and thought the as funded debt fkould be liable Sla► `, fit __/ the Sinking Fund, the Honourable tbat MinifFers were always fond of his part, he mull fay, that he Awe , the rime that he was unconnefled well as at prefent. He did not the Sinking Fund was any cam that required uncommon genius; that any Adminiftration that could ed immediately after the American introduced the fyllem of a Sinking " or other. Whether it would hay it now is, he could not fay; but, tion of a Sinking Fund was at that obvious need:My, yet he always thought that the man, who did introduce the fyflem, and place it on a proper foundation, was deferring of confiderable praife ; and, in that point of view, he at all times was ready to exprefs his (cafe of the merit of the Right Hon. Gentleman (now no more), who intro duced it. If the Sinking Fund had no other effet than what had been Rated, of keeping the 3 per cent. Confols at 6cl. which would otherwife be much lower, it was evident that that alone was fo far a politive relief to the country. that when the Funds were high, the Loans were contra led for at a fmaller and confequently, the taxes which were to be railed for meeting that interea were alfo fmaller. It was a matter merely of arithmetical calculation. If, inflead of 601. the Confols were at 501. it was molt evident that the Loans would be made on more difadvan tagentia terms, and confequently that the inrezeß would be a greater burden to the nation. He knew that there were many able men who doubted the ad vantages rf the Sinking Fund, but noti.ing that he had ever heard had either altered his conviction, or even railed a doubt Opon his mind. He would not fay that becaufe it was now necefrary to apply the whole of the Sinkirig Fund to the reduBion of the debt, that it might not be poffible that the time would grants even beyond the relent year, he hoped they would not afcribe it to economy alone, fence tbc— grants of the prefent year were greater than chute of the tall ; and it appeared to him, that the NohleL,rd had taken five quarters of revenue to Meet tc or coat tens of expenditure. His only reafons for trooUhrg the Houfe fo much at large, were, a with to defend the memory of his late Friend frum any tinfolm-ira imputations, and to prevent any wrong laws:fauns from going forth relative to the deficiencies had been Hated. He had no intention whatever to oppofe the meafures which had been prorfed tO meet the public exigencies. The fituation of the country was one of danger and of difficulty. 10 ' 1 ,re' quired the molt vigorous exertions.
