The Noble Lord, however, had which could not fail-to have most prosperous and be- put it on a different footing, and was for waiting neficial results. At all events, he hoped the House till we could send a proposition to America for the would not at present interpeoe its judgment between acceptance of that Government ; while the mann the Crown and the AmeriCtur Government.' He was factoring interests were at this moment in breathless eons:ions nothing had been discovered in the con- expectation, to know whether they were to be doomed duct of the Executive Government of this country to starve or not. He begged the House would not be •:d hostility to Ame.:- Indite confidentV caught by the delusion, but by their decision prevent iy tow ...4, ..... 4 tneit the manufacturers from being driven to profoundand absolute despair. Mr. BRAGGE BATHURST spoke at considerable length against the motion. Mr. PONSONBY said, be saw no reason for any such prepo sition as that mentioned by Lord Castlereagh. The American Minister had distinctly and plainly stated to our Ambassador there, that as soon as the Orders in Conacil were rescinded, that instant the Non-Intercourse Act would cease. The Noble Lord's proposal could therefore do no good ; and nothing but an express revocation of' the Orders in Council could be availing and ef fectual. Mr. WILBERFORCE said, that if we concede at all, we should do it so that we could claim the promise of the American Government. We ought to give the manufacturers security.— Asking America what she will do, when she has already declared what she will, seemed to he giving her a hint she might recede from what she find promised. We had now an opportunity of acting decisively one way or the other, and don't let us, by steering a middle course, lose the advantage we might derive from acting with openness and candour. Ile hoped we should always endeavour to cultivate the friendship of America; and he thought we should be more likely to obtain it by revoking the Orders in Council, than 6y any other means we could pursue. Mr. N. VANSITTART said a few-words in favour of the motion. Mr. WILBERFORCE and Mr. YANSITTART usatually explained. Lord MILTON dechurd his Inability to comprehend the ' cise intentions of Maiden, or whether, in ‘ the event of tie Flinch Government reinforcing the Berlin and Milan Decrees, it was proposed to re-enact the Orders in Council. 'Mr. cANNING observed, that so far as the question related to the general policy upon which the Orden in Council had been Wiled, he retained all dime opinions by sdhich they had bees originally jitstitied. He considered the principaLto which tat 7 owed their birth, not as a principal of commercial policy, bet of belligerent retaliation. This view of them had that night been recognised both by the Noble Lord (Castlereagh) and the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Rose). He bad seen with con siderable concern some deviations from the spirit of this later pretation, because, however essential it might he to the national character to assert with vigour our maritime and political tights. it was not less accessary to prevent that assertion from bier fering with the just *claims or privileges of other States. Ha should regret, therefore; to see a measure of belliger:nt policy converted into a pretence for monopolising the commette of neutral Powers. The question, however, appeared to him to have been put on a too partial issue, when it was made to de-' peed altogether on the (Went Of commercial distress, of which those Orders were regarded as the cause. He held, indeed, that it was an important duty, and a most binding obligation on every British Statesman, to su.tport the commercial intern* of the Empire, hut he believed this to, be not inconsistent with an anxious solicitude for the preservation of its maritime and poli deal rights. The Right Hon. Gentleman then contended at some length, that the document issued by the French Govern.' meet, contained a principle subversive of all national law, that the new principles proclaimed by the enemy were aJtoarther new, and that whatever coneessions had been made at different times as to the unlimited rights of Neutrals, these concessions had been made between particular States, who could not hove the power of extending their ap lication to other countries. He had some objections to the word suspension, and wisissil that the Orders might be considered at once as revoked, in order that if hereafter ?cue% ed, they might begie-de novo, and establish them merely as a belligerent measure. Mr. BROUGHAM shortly replied; and congratulated the Honer on the expiration of the Orders in Council. He was sorry that his Honourable and Learned Friend (111r.Stephea) was not present to mourn at the death of his favourite system. He was happy that u painful enquiry had not been in vaiu, and trusted, that their constituents would not receive thefts the less 'favourable for the work they bad accompli•hed.—jlieer, hear !] After some conversation between Lord Casaereugh, Mr. Brougham, and Mr. Canning, respecting the best made of dis posing of the question, the Gallery was cleared for a division, which did not, however, take place, upon an understauding that the Orders in Conseil shall be annelled. , —Adjourned at Three o'Cleek this morohig. that &hen .atility to America ; a, iy hoped the present negociations would be so managed as Co put an end to all differences subsisting between the two countries. The Vote he would propose to • the House would be, to pass to 'the Orders of the Day. [An universal cry of hear, hear, hear! from the opposition side of the House.) 'He confessed he did slot understand that cheers If 'the documents which were necessary had been before the House, he should have met the motion with a direct negative ; as it was not so, that would be the motion with which he should conclude. Mr. WHITBREAD said, that in rising to address the House, be was completely at a loss what words to make use of, for he was totally unable to under stand the meaning of the Noble Lord. He begged tho Voille Lord would say what it was he meant ; and if .se was better understood by any one else, he (Mr. Whitbread) should confess that he was truly Chili of apprehension. The Noble Loid seemed to will , the flour. to'believe, that he proposed to do sonethlog coaciliatory to America. But did he mean to at i.naseeliately on•his proposition or was it his intention to (MU America, and tell her, that if she weald relax its her late system of the Non 'itemisers, Act, this country would suspend, or re voke, of ahsndbn, or do what with the Orders in Couch, ? Did he mean to give any relief to the star,- leg ..innufacturers and mimed capitalists, or did he . nan to advise his Royal Hight", the Prince Re gent tq withdraw the Orders in Council till this ques tion should be desernioecl ? Lord CAS"! LEItEAGH in explanation said, he meant as he had state, that a proposition should be made to the American Government to suspend im mediately the Orders in Council, on condition that they would suspend their Non-intercourse Act ; and that in the interval both parties should use their en deavours to prevail on Bonaparte to restore the rules of commerce to their ancient customary limits. Mr. WHITBREAD said, if this proposition was to be sent out to America, and it was expected that the House and the country should wait tilt they re ceived an answer, it was the greatest delusion that bad ever been attempted. Could he,'after what had parsed, suppose the House of Commons would wave the question any longer. The manufacturers had de clared they could not wait longer. Theieneml and deeply distressed state of the country loudly declared It ought not any longer to be postponed. What had induced the House to interfere with' the Executive Government? The answer was plain and obvious— it was the conduct of the Executive itself. The state of the coectry was so alarming—the cries of the Petitioners were so truly piercing, that it could no longer he put off. It would depend on the decision of the House of Commons, whether you would have thousands and thousands not only destitute of bread, but in i state of absolute despair. .If the House de termined to rescind the Orders in Council, there could be no doubt but the looms would immediately and numerously be set a-going, and ships would be instantly freighted. If the Noble Ltwel's proposition be adopted, not a single loom would be seen to move —rot the sail of one single ship would be unfurled for commercial concerns with America. That coun try had till to-night been calumniated as a Govern m-eit, and had never been treated 'with the respect due to an independent power ; and it was high time that we should awake to the real interests which be longed to the commerce and manufactures of the coun try . He did hope, the Noble Lord and his colleagues, after haslet witnessed for so long a time the dis tressed situation of the manufacturers, and after learn ing from the evidence what was the cause of it, would have come forward to have put an end to such crying evils, by a determination to suspend the Orders in Council, with their concomitant mischievous attend ants licenses—and their subordinate supporters—fraud and perjury. He had in his hand papers which had been left in the hand of a bankrupt, who had dealt in these simulated papers ; and the-clerks of that very bankrupt had since advertised, that all persons who were desirous of obtaining sitaulated papers might be immediately supplied by them. The question was, whether the Noble Lord would suffer thousands to remain without bread, or would go on with this system of simulated papers and licences. He would ask the Right Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Rose) whether the American Minister, from the first mo ment of the Orders in Council being mentioned, did sot protest against them—whether that Minister did not warn him and his colleagues, that if they were persisted in, they would involve the two countries in a war; and at last told both the belligerents, that if they did not relax In their several systems, they could not be on terms with either of them. France, bad been the first to relax, and thence the state of our starving manufactures. And besides, that while it was pretended by Ministers in this country, that they meant these Orders in Council as a measure of retaliation on the enemy, and negotiations were car rying on by means and through the medium of an Ambassador, sent expressly for the purpose from this country, a base and scandalous attempt had been' made, which appeared to have been sanctioned by the person now at the head of the Administration of this country, to separate the Northern States from their uniou with the Southern. [A cry of no, no! from the Ministerial Bench.] Mr. Whitbread said, it appeared from Lord Liverpool's letters, that this Man had been emplo y ed by Government; and he -: bad no doubt but when the papers were granted which had been called for and refused, the fact would be proved, that such person had been employed for no friendly or laudable purpose. This action, he said, bad given into the hands of the American Govern ment the most powerful engine of war that could be • devised. The Noble Lord had said, that the cause of the distress of the manufacturers was owing to their having made too many goods on speculation. He . - • believed the Noble Lord had never read the evidence; for if lie had, he would have found no such inform ' ticm there he most have derived it from some other soured, which was not to be depended on. The el. ' , dente told the direct contrary, and spewed that they 1;841 t: fa etured not from speculation, but to keep tee men who had been long In their employ from Mall 6.

The following _extract of a letter, received this morning by a Gentleman k the City, from a highly respectable Correspondent at Charleston, contains the latest particulars which have reached this country respecting the progress of the Revolutionists in Amelia Island : " CHARLESTON, Aran, 21, 1812. Capt. PRILUPS, who left. Amelia on Wednesday last, in forms us that the Revolutionists were still before Augustine,. 1 Without having made any progress; the adherents of Spain had removed their women and children to an island protected by the I fort into which they had retired, determinlsd to defend them selves to the last extremity. The Revolutionists were going to erect a battery to command the entrance of the harbour to pre vent dies receiving supplies,by which they hoped to starve them oUt. It liandentood that our Government do not countenance the partaking is behalf of the Revolution, and that orders were expectoljkstlterair the United States troops and naval lorte; this proceeding would; COliever, iiot affeiethelitaiwonlki Rh. volationists, as they could have assistance from the Cherokee Chief, who has offered them assistant*, which was refused.— There were two or three small English armed vessels ia the har bour of St. Augustine when our gun-boats were or that place, and an American boat, which wassent to sound the bar, was fired upon by the Spaniards. Oa the 10th inst. a smart firing of both great guns and small arms was beard by our vessels in the offing from the Fort of St. Augustine, but the causeway not as certained. .The Nautilus and Charlotte, from Amelia, with British goods, have been seized:at Charleston." • Mr. BROUGHAM is entitled to the thanks of the country for the fearless manner in which he brought forward the question, last night, in the" House of Commons, respecting the Distressed State of our Manufactures, and the Repeal of the Orders in Council. It will be seen, by our Parliamentary Re port, that Lord CASTLEREAGH moved as an mend ment to Mr. BROUGHAM'S Motion ) that the House should proceed to the other Orders of the Day. Whe ther his Lordship toot this course, from a dread that Ministers would be in a minority, if a division I was allowed, we have not the means, at present, of ascertaining. It is stated in several of the Morning Papers, and this is perhaps the true reason why Lord CASTLEREAGH. acted AS he did, that it is the intention of our Government, in the mean time, to suspeled the Orders in Connell ; and to require America to repel her Non-importation and Embargo Acts, when the final repeal of our decrees, in so far as they re spect neutrals, will be immediately resorted to ; and a Declaration to that effect will, it is expected, be published in Saturday. n' ht's Gazette. Mr. W HIT .. BREAD seems to regard any act of the present Minis. tern, short of an immediate total repeal of the Orders in Council, as &subterfuge to get rid of the question. Mr. Haoucnam, however, stated that he con sidered the measure of Lord CASTLECLEAGH as the death-blow to the Orders in Council. —Un til we peruse the Declaration of Miuisters, we shall not be rash in advancing any opinion on the subject, though we cannot help entertaining san guine hopes, that the sentiments entertained by Mr. BROUGHAM will be found to be correct. If the filed determination of our Government be unfavour able to the prayer of the Petitioners, thousands of industrious. Manufacturers will be immediately thrown out of employment by their Masters ; who have hitherto prevented so great a calamity by in vesting their whole capital in stock, in the ex p ec t a - I Con that measures would be taken to re-open-the i market of the United States, the most beneficial, in levery point of view,, which this country has ever . 1 possessed for the sale of its manufactures. PITT CLUB. The birth-day of the great Statesman " now no more" was celebrated yesterday, at the London Tavern, Vishepsgate-street. Those of our Readers who may be anxious to know the particulars of what passed at this meeting, are referred to the Morning Post, where they will find enough to satiate any ordinary appetite. For our part we prefer the account of the " Grand PITT dinner at Liverpool," which we have inserted in another column, and which we are inclined to think will prove much more acceptable to our numerous Readers, than the Chile complimentary speeches annually addresses to each other on this occasion by the PREMIER, the LORD CIIANCELLOR, and the other admirers of the PITT system. • THE LOAN. Messrs. REID, lavirm, and Co. who had previ ously declined bidding, attended at Westminster yes terday, for the reasons assigned let a letter addressed to the CHANCELLOR of the Escitzunan, of winch the following is a copy : " We have the honor to inclose for your information the copy of a letter which we have addressed to our d , fferent appliconts for the loan to he negociated to-morrow. Should the aegocia- Goo not be concluded according to the' lan proposed, we beg to submit our claim to become parties to any subsequent arrange meat. (Signed) " REH) IRVING, and Co. • 64 JOHN JACKSON, and Co. " Rt. Hon. N. VABBITTART." . • . On the tenders being opened, it appeared that the offer of each party was the same ; namely, to receive 571. 10s. in the 3 per Cent. Consols, together with 1301.ba (be 3 perCeste..fleduced, for every 1001. in mo ney. The Ministers declined the terms, as not equal to those which they had thought themselves en titled to expect. herd LIVERPOOL, recommended the Gentlemen to confer together, and amend their bidding; or to let the business stand over till to-day, or till Friday next. It was agreed, however, to lose no• time in reconsidering the proposal : and Messrs. Invm; and Co. having retired, to give the other parties an opportunity of conferring alone, a fresh offer was .submitted to the Ministers, which was to take, in addition to the 3 per Cents. before mentioned, 561. 10s. In Consols ; but those terms still not appearing sufficiently advantageous toy the public, were also refused on the part of Government. Lord LIVERPOOL, when about to depart, said he had no objection to lay before the Gentlemen the lowest terms which it was the intention of Government to accept; and these, on opening a sealed paper, appeared to be 1201. in 3 per Cent. Reduced, and 561. in three per Cent. Consols, for 1001. in money. After some trifling discussion, the Con tractors closed on these terms. Lord LIVERPOOL was then ayked, whether Government would require any more money in the course of the year, to• he raised by Exchequer Bills, or otherwise. His Lordship answered, that it was intended to appr( / priate a part of the present loan to the liquidation of Exchequer Bills, now afloat, to the amount of 2,400,0001.; and that it was not known i( any others would be issued In their stead ; neverthe less, his Lordship wished it to be understood, that Government would reserve .to itself the option of issuing Exchequer Bills s 4 not exceeding the amount of 3,000,0001. in case it should be necessary. When the terms of the Loan was first announced in the City, the Omnium was done as high as 3 per cent. pranks*? bnt *etch was tip bottler- and-ooeforfio in the Stock Exchange, that some were linking bargains at nearly one per cent. difference. Upwardi of two millions of the new Loan were disposed of by anticipation in the course of the afternoon, which had the effect of depressing its value. The closing price was about one premium. Consols for opening closed at 57k, and 3 per Cents. Reduced at 56k.
