He would not vote for the Cone ..tee, because he thought it unnecessary; but he {bided a strict adherence to the Orders in Council, ithout any relaxation whatever. Mr. G. JOHNS roNE ' oh the contrary, defend -1 tee licences as indispensable, but would vote fur nquiry. Sir CHARLES PRICE opposed the motion. Mr. WILBERFORCE said, be considered it to be the duty of every Member of the Houee .to en quire whether the Orders in Council were beneficial to thicountry.or not. All that was asked by the _Motion. was, to enquire into the fact ; and, when otenion appeared so divided, he thought a Committee shostdbe uppointed to make a deliberate investiga tion of the subject, and report their opinion for the, satisfaction of the country. The Orders in Council Lad beet. originally issued for the purpose of subject ing the commerce of the enemy to the evils their De., cries sehjeeted our commerce ; but it was now : plain. ly asserted by our manufacturers, that we became the - greatest sniforers, from our own regulations beteg incousistent in themselves. [Hear, hede,!) 7 7 To enquire into the present evils of - whiclithei.cottn.. try complained was his only object; and,. to .effeet,. that enquiry, he should support the Motion. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER opposed the Motion, but not, as he woeld r ,seeture his Hon. Friend who spoke Last, from any apprehen sion that the result of enquiry would be against the wfsdeni of the system. He opposed it lest those who' seller might be led for tut iustant into the mistake that their distresses were to be attributed to this system. He could prove to demonstration, from incontro vertibledocaments, that the Orders, instead of pro ducing their distresses, had been the very means of hitherto staving them of. Uleur, hear!] lie was not surprised, however, at the reasons given by his Hoe. Friend ; for so great , was his desire for, and dispositihn to enquiry, that he never recollected a motion of this sort which was not aimed at him, by the Gentleman opposite,which was not framed so con cougeniall st to his general wishes as to be calculated to catch hint. But it was strange enough that his Hon. Friend and his Right Hon. Friend also (Mr. Canning) should vote for enquiry, on the particular ground of desiring to he satisfied that in fact there existed no ground for enquiry. This, however, must be their reason, since they appeared satisfied that the present distresses were not to be attributed to -the Orders. lie was glad of one circumstance, which never occurred on st debate on the subject;. that therewas not the least intimation of the injus tice of the system, the more so, then, as it was not so formerly ; for he well recollected how often the House was told of their iujuetice, and in what terms they were reprobated. The Right lieeourable Gentleman declared, in answer to what had fallen from his Right lion. Friend, that he never looked on the Orders is Council in any 'other light than as measures of reta liatii.g, warranted by the law of cations ; on the principle, that if France chow to depart frees the law of nations, and to assert rights incompatible with the acknowledged rights of others, such native must be opposed, by retaliating her monstrous sys tem up.in herself, otherwise she could est her • violation as a sword again.t 0. hers' rights, and at the same time make it as a shield in ser defence. As to his Right Hon. Friend's argansent on the blockade of 1807, be insistesithat be never spoke in that lipase on the point, without distinctly saying, that retalialon noinst Frames was uwaut in the following way :—That as France bad said by her blockade, that we shoed not trade with any part of ;he world, Ave said that .to other part should trade with 13.. r. If this had not ilea, its raeabing, it would have been no rmaliation mall. If we bad abided by th, law of actual block. ade, them the system would have been the annihilation of trade and uaerelative commercial titillation by which we alone would mister. After the full statement of his Right lionaurable Friend, (Mr: Rose), sad the able speech of bit lion. and Learned Friend, it was sot neeesaanty to trouble ihe House with many ronarks. It was unfair to attribute the distresses existili,e to the Orders, when a more rational source was before the eyes of the country, tronely, the losses iu the Baltic. Did not those losses check spe culation, Led thereby affect the manufacturing classes. They bad :soother source in the te.tural temporary stagnation after the exam , of ItiO9 and 1810. Re then read licences granted by the late Administratioa, and argued, from the Customs of France, the serious effect which the Orders bad produced on French trade, and chewed from the Expo' of the lqench Minister, and the address of the Senate, the vast expenee which would he In curred to fill the arsenals of the Empire. The repeal would take our all the manufactures of France, and open to her the Eastern end Western World. After a variety of other observations, he protested strongly against a Committee, as calculated to lc: loule all those subjects Connected with America which it was now ex pedient to smother. Mr. WHITBREAD maintained, that the ques tion any not as the Chancellor of the Exchequer had ingeniously endeavoured to lead the House to ima gine, a Nether the Orders in Council should be re periled, whether the licensing system should he sup ported, or war against America declared ; but whe ther, by timely investigation, we should endeavour to maintain peace at home. That unparalleled dis tress prevailed in the country, was not denied, but it nas insisted that it was not attributable to the Or dere iu Council, and fora proof of it, as usual, the aecouats of Exports and Imports had been appealed to, and a splendid description was given of the flou rishing state of our custom duties. While the peo ple were uttering cries of distress, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, turning to the Exports and Imports, -and absorbed lit the contemplation of imaginary gond, fetiches only that -the sounds that reach him are acclamations of joy athour prosperous.conalition.

The Orders in Council, or rather the commorcial embarrassments into which this country has been in volved by the existence of these impolitic decrees, was the subject of debate last night in the House of Commons. The discussion was opened by Mr. Baououfrot, in a !nest eloquent and manly speec h; replete with sound aryl incentroiertable argumeut, which the Mioistetial Bench found it impossible to refute. By the aid, however, of Itotten-Borough Members, and those who are always ready to bow to the nod of. the Premier, be who he. may, the mo tion for the appointment of a Committee was lost by a majority of 7'2—there being 141 who voted for the i measore, and '2IG against it. Take from this last number the Placemen, the Pensioners, and the Expect : ants, and it will be found, that the Majority of hide ' pendent Members, and those who really speak the voice of the Nation, supported Mr. BnocurtAm's proposi tion for a Committee. A curious fact was men tioned towards the dose of the delvate :—Lord I GR kNVILLE LEVIAON GOWER stated, that he bad in " his custody a Petition, signed by many thousands of the manufacturing population . of Staffordshire, ad ! dressed to the PaiNcl REGENT, complairring of deep distress, and praying for relief, and that he had informed the Secretary of State for the Horne Department, Mr. RYDER, who had offered to [take the Petition froni the Noble Lord, and present it himself to the REGENT. This Lord GRANVILLE LcvlsoN refused. -lie caustfiled the Petitioners there upon, and received . theirdirections to present the Pe tition in person, which iteintended to do at the first Levee, but that revee had not yet 'taken place, al though three weeki have elapsed! .

His ta. leuts have been already established by his Literary Pro ductions; but it does not always happen that able writers are gifted with the power of elocution. We cannot but congratulate the country on the rising merits of this young Nobleman, and certainly to the party whose tenets he has espoused on his political entre, he cannot fail to be a powerful acquisition. Four Spanish sailors have arrived in the Downs in a man of war's boat, in which trey effected their escape from France with only a blanket for a sail.
