The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied, that the proposed bill would contain certain, cluuses to protect the public from the consequences to be apprehended from such proceedings, and also to guard the revenue. Mr. AM. NV 001) could nut but express his opinion, that the cumitry would be served, the agriculturists would be served, and the poor and labouring classes would be rea ly and greatly benelitted if the Ministers would tale olf the duty on malt ultogether. By such a measure there would be an im mediate demand for and consumption of one-lourtli more barley. Uut such (Amitotic relief was not to(he afforded. The unequal tax, though modified, aims to be emanated; a tax of such unequal operation, that the pour were compelled by it, to pay 3,000,0001. Inu re than the rich.

A peti•ion was presented Luiu Lpain6ton, for the repeal of lbe cool d•ittes. Cate Be rrox.—Mr. Lai ME presented a petition from no meows iubehi,ants, Se. of Cape Melon. The lelaud had been pieced under the gob efoniship or Novi Scotia. The /eland had been ceded to Englund io 1763, and the comroiseimmi aflereratels forwarded were nccompenied by secret articles directing the convening of stasetaldien lions apitor;st the free holders, Ac. St. John's, Nova Stotiti, and Cape Breton were under the same loves 1111(lollip ;—und Note Sr milt mad St. Jolliest had had asseitatiies accortlitiAly, but the 'eget limos fur taxes, Sc. of those I stood% were not to lie extended to Cape Breton. —lt was to lie tegulated according to the 1/1111C1111t11.11 of Great B. dein. In this was, matters continued till 17b3, whew Go vernor Kemp issued a proclamation re annexing Cape Breton to Nova Scotia. This the inhabitants eumpleitied was a %iota lion of the 'dilemma of 1163. Tha mikistets might as wall have annexed Dienteica to Granada. herd Minstield bad de clared that after the King had divested himself by mode/nation. or settlement, of the power of a cmometed or acquited colony, by giving it a distinct government, the Kill; could not further sot, except by the interference of the l'arlimeent. Yet in this , instance the King had exercised such autlitnity. 'lie effects of the change, the 'mental of the seat of got unraeot bad been of such ruionua consequences that an castle that was before woith 10,01)01. was DOI VIOI t 3,0001.; ■nd if such things were to be npooved, then the pa litinnera prayed that they might bare remuneration for the loaves they bad auefained, that (hey might remove to the United States, or elsewhere, where thete are fixed laws. The pupolafion in 1763 was 1000; bat it was now 20,000. Notwithstanding the sacred pledge of his Majesty, frequently lepeated, and under the cmaidence of attach iiidiv Winds proceeded to colonize Cape Breton, that place had been t,,nde the object of duties imposed by other Pow ere-2i per cent. on British goods, consumed within Cape Brehm.—By such proceeding the seined pledge bad been violated. lie knew not what %CUBE) could he made by the government at home for such conduct ; but lie thought he bad entablislied s care which warranted the complaints of Cape Breton. They were no longer a separate And iadedependent Government. The pie• for such annexation was economy ; hut the inhabitants avid they were prepared to meet tbe ez pence* of a local Government. They prayed that the House might not authorize any Bill warraining the anneLiun of Cape Breton to Nova Scotia ; or that they miget have a com peus•ttimt for louses, end be allowed it/ remove to place* where tome are fixed laws. Petition presented and read. Mr. WILMOT said, if the question were of the oonslitu. limed importance described, he eltoutel desire to decline meet ing it in the present inconvenient shape ; but be should wish it to be made the subject of a distinct motion. It, however, was not, be thought, of that importance. This was thee first time that any complaint of the anneaati )))) had been made ; and if the Governor were any euthority, be understood that the ge neral body of the inhabitants were well satisfied with the existing arrangements. The petition was signed by 260 per , sons, and it had been got up by one individual, and was not even prepared in the island ; but in the island there were elated to be 20,000 inhabitants. As to the annexation, he main tained that it was warranted ; and the annexation was made in the original instance. Ile also spoke of the advantages that had resulted from the annexation. Ile was prepared to main tain, that according to the settlement or 1763, Cape Breton was nut entitled to Any separate government or as/tenthly ; and 2illy, that the inhabitants were not generally dissatisfied with the existing state of flange in Cape Breton. The petition was prepared in this country by one . individual. Mr. BERNAL ma t ir m l t atte h d en tla i t , s e t w ß as iet l o a n id w twn in , by the pro. clamation of 1703, situation to demand an ■asetnbly and a local govetement, it should he entitled to make such demand. Granada now had an assembly, but it never had so strong a claim to it as Cape Breton. Mr. 11111G1INT also justified this appeal to the British 1,,, e d J. RUSSELL avktd. ns it naa important that we should now know our read situation, ulletlier this country was partly to guarantee the Chown of Fiance to the Bourbons? Mr. CANNING replied, that lie could, slot answer particav larly. There were only those treaties Odd, had received the approbation of Parli.onent.
