i, , 1 1 R e A FRENCH PAPERS. i coif to dog?, bp evety means in his power the woollen trade : this trade should for this reason be eapectallt Prolecte 4 ; ever y 16 ' h Member should stand upon this ground, and support to the utmost of his power every thing connected with the linen trade. Colonel FRENCH differed from the Member for the Queen's County. Ile thought the Chancellor of the Exchequer should put an end to the fears and alarms existing in Ireland, on this subject, even though they should be exaggerated and without foundation. Mr. D.tWSON thought it his duty to state that from what he could learn upon the subject, the manufacturers would not be much affected by the repeal of the duties. The question was taken up with more anxiety by the country gentlemen than it was by the manufacturers. Ile looked at the question in this point of Ties— the quantity of linen manufactured in Ireland produced annually about two millions and a half of money; the amount of bounty was 110,000 f. ; and the amount of the annual reduction was 10,000!. Ile would ask gentlemen to come to the consideration of this question divested of their prejudices, and lie wished to ' know if taking off bounties to the amount of 9,0001. would be likely to injure the staple trade. Ile thought it peculiarly incumbent on a just and benevolent posterity to support the linen trade of Ire land, as it was erected upon the ruin of the woollen, and connected as he was with the Government, he would be sorry to see that trade suffer. Ile was astonished at hearing the observations of the Mem ber for the Queen's County ; indeed be could scarcely believe his ears. He was ready to admit the Hon. Baronet had conferred many benefits upon Ireland. He had produced some excellent measures for that country, but he much questioned if the remarks he made that night did nut more than counteract all the good he had done. The House was told by the lion. Baronet that the only trine which flourished had done no benefit. Had he seen the districts in the North of Ireland in which this trade was carried on ? Had he seen the happiness and the:comforts of those districts? Had Le contrasted them with the wretchedness and misery of those places in which the trade did not exist ? This manufacture was useful in every stage ; the children, women, and men were employed in its various branches. Finally, the weaver took the article to market and re turned with the money ; and was it possible to doubt that a manu facture like this should sot be attended with benefit and advantage? 1 The trade itself, front the manner in which it was carried on. was of the greatest utility; it combined health with labour. The ma nufacturers laboured for themselves, and for theniselves alone. It made the peasant robust and manly ; it combined the efforts of the labourer with the ing enuity of the mechanic • it had an excellent effect both upon the health and morals of thoile who were employed in the manufacture. In addition to these advantages, the peasant in those districts where this trade existed was found to possess a more independent 'lliad. For theme reasons the manufacture was, in his opinion, attended with the most beneficial consequences, and as he was convinced the Bill before the House would not injure it, he would give it his support. Mr. D. BROWNE, in explanation, pledged himself to oppose the measure in every manner and in every stage. Mr. 111.'111E would say a few words. Ile agreed perfectly in the arguments of the Member for the Queen's County, and thought the Under Secretary had misunderstood the lion. Member. He was sure the fears end anxiety felt in Ireland were of a groundless and exaggerated nature; they were, in a great measure, caused by the statements made in that House. The good to be done by the Bill was of much greater conaequence than the abstraction of the small sum by the bounties. Three years ago, when a atember of a Com mittee, he had called upon the House to dispel the fears of the Irish. It was unfair—it was impolitic to give encouragement to there apprehensions. Consideration should be bestowed on the great change alone, and not on the abstraction of a few thousands of pounds. The tears and %lions in the south and west of Ireland were completely confounded, and he trusted Ministers would per severe in the plan they had adipted. Sir 11. PARNELL contended that in the manufacturing dis tricts, although the bight.' rents were paid, the inhabitants were obliged to live on the lowest scale of human comforts. After a few observations from Mr. ROBERTSON, the reso lution was agreed to. Alderman WOOD enoorated the propriety of reducing the ditties on coal from the North. If the Right lion. Gentleman did not propose such a measure, he (Mr. Alderman {Food) should do so. 'the CHANt'ELLOR of the EXCEHQUER said, that if he could be catnvincell that such a proceeding would not injure the re venue, he would do so; at present he could not propose such a niesswe. Mr. 111:31E asked why the:Right Hon. Gentleman would not try the experimeht for one year, and if he found it answer, con tinue it ? Mr. T. WILSON made a few observations. Mr. Alderman WOOD admitted that some log might be sus , taitied by the revenue, but hoped this narrow principle would not influence the Right Ilan. Gentleman. He had no doubt but the Corporation of London could give up their charges, and the coal would thus come into the City free, with the exception of the tax of Is. lit. per chaltfmn. • The CIIAIIIII,IN then reported progress, and the Report was . ordered to be received to-moreow.

The Report on the Rum Duties Bill was brought up, ordered to be engrossed, and read a third time to-morrow. HIDES AND SKINS BILL. On the motion for a second reading of the Hides and Skins Bill, Mr. DA S'ENPORT said he should certainly oppose this Bill, which would be most injurious to the leather trade, and move that the Bill be read a second time this day six months. The House then divided, and the numbers appeared, Ayes, 27; Noes, 10.-31ajority for the second reading, 17. Reid a se time and referred to a select Committee.

The House resolved itself into a Committee on the Newfound , land Fishery Acts, and, un the motion of Mr. Lesillsorox. the Chairman was instructed to move for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the said Acts.

The English Papers, on the faith of pretended levers from Hio Janeiro, have given currency in London to news front which it should appear that the French for ce o n th e B ras il stat i on h as b een increased and raised to 13 ships. We can affirm positively that this news is without any forinds. Hon. The very terms in which it was couched would suffice to demonstrate the absurdity of it. The French force in those which has not been augment's, for several years, is only there to protect our commerce, and oftnn even that of other nations : the lace remits of Pernambuco and Para have proved the necessity of it. The Cnlosse, which the Courier pretends is at this moment at Rio Janeiro, is laid IT in ordinary at !inst. The state or these tolunies might perhaps call for an stamen. tation of the French force at these different points; but while we admit what it might be proper to do, we are bound to speak the truth as to what exists.

House of' General Assembly, on the 30th of December last. and had expressed his determination to issue no new writs, or summon another Assembly (unless under circumstances of urgent necessity), until his Majesty's pleasure was known. A petition was in consequence prepared and pr e . seined to Lord Huntingdon soon after, signed by eighty-six individuals, electors and inhabitants of Dominica, stating that the then Governor's determination, " not to summon a new House of Assembly, had filled their minds with the deepest alarm for the safety of the constitution, withou t the full and permanent enjoyment of which they had n o security for the preservation of their properties or their liberties." They refer to two proclamations in the last reign, issued in 1763 and 1775, the latter of which stated his Majesty'. dense, " thata full and complete legislature should be establisinsl in the island of Dominica, upon a permanent and last'ng foundation, and such rsgulation s made touching the game as might contribute to the neon, interest, and satisfaction of his Majesty's subjects within that island." The petitioners then refer to an Act of the L . gislature, passed on the 26th of Sept. 1 n 0.",, also sanctioned by his late Majesty, which ordained " that the Leensbo ote should sit for the despatch of public business four times iu every year; that is to say, on the second Tuesday its the month of November, and on the same day in th e months of February, May, and August." The petition further states, that, Mg a period of 'sixty yaws, that island had enjoyed the benefits which his late klajestv's paternal care had anticipated—that the welfare of the country had been promotes!, and the property and liberty ocomoadr f its inhabitants to ant b sprotected a s j n es d ts;s benevolentenrcil,bya ii,inti Legislat o z s e . The petitioners conclude by earnestly entreating the late Governor to relieve their minds from the appr e h eni ,,,, which his determination had excited, and a request i that he would immediately summon a new Ikons of ' I General Assembly, to meet with as little delay as possible. Lord Hui tingdou's answer is at great length, and drawn up with anything but prudence or jade , Inient. It speaks little for the Noble Earl's talent, and is as little in consonance with the dignity and calmness suited to his high station, as the King's repre sentative in the island of I lontinica. " I flatter myself," (Lord II untingdon says in the commencement of his reply) that " I understand my own situation in this colony, u ; also its constitution, and no man her been more ready thut myself to respect all the ptivilegea conferred on its le;ost. lature by our late venerable Sovereign, in his proclationioe •I of the 21st of June, 1175." The Noble Lord then Oita, " that while the House of Assembly exercised its Cone ; tions in a parliamentary manner, and supp orted the i n . terests, honour, and dignity of his Majesty 's Government, e be contributed all in his power to promote that peace, har • moray, and comfort, which the enjoyment of the forms of ' the British Constitution has 'seldom failed to secure." ; Lord Huntingdon then proceeds to say, " that as t h e , House of Assembly had thought it advisable to pursue . measures not consonant to their duty, he withdrew his I confidence from it ;" and he then goes on to trace their ' misconduct, as he terms it, in details of acme length. Ile first alludes to the Tax Bill, for the ways and means of that year, which came before the House of Assembly in ; May last, and after a motion for the third readins, was negatived on the 15th of that month, but was again re committed on the 17th, and passed at length on the sth of June, and sent up to the Council, by whoa] it was also , approved, the Council Board signifying dint this grant to the Crown had their full sanction, and requesting the Act might he laid before the Noble Earl, as Governor, fur hit ' approval and signature. Lord Huntingdon then states that ' this enactment of the two branches of the Dominica I,e• ' gislature—the annual fund fur the public expenses of al kinds, which was to pay the public creditors, the public . functionaries, and those pensioners subsisting only h) public charity, was not suffered to react his hands. but was arrested in its progress to him, the King's IL pre sentative, by the !louse of Assembly—that Icing sometime after apprised of this most unconstitutional and unprece dented act, he thought it a duty he owed hie Sovereign 1 the Colony, to inquire into it; and, accordingly, on the 16th of September last, and not before, he sent a aim, and, he trusted, a di ? ,, , q/ied message, to the Assembly, to sa tisfy him on the point. Worded seociei//y, as the reply was, it convinced him (the Noble Lord adds), that the House did not sufficiently appreciate the powers it held under the benevolence of the Crown, of proposing and raising its own taxes ' • nor did it duly weigh the injustice of thus keeping back a Bill of supply, concurred in by the Higher Branch of the Legisl a ture ; and over wL:ch, in tact (he adds) the I louse of Assembly had lost ail Parlia mentary influence and control. Unt Huntingdon then states, that notwithstanding such a marked disregard of the King's authority and of the community, and such an act of infidelity to the Board of Council, he took no imme diate measures to disturb the Assembly, hoping, that upon reflection its Members would be induced to change their conduct, and before the year closed to have laid this essen tial Bill before him. His expectatiens on that head, how. ever (he adds) were fruitless; and, in consequence on t h e 30th Dcc. last, he used the prerogative vested in him, and dissolved the Assembly ; a painful measure, which, he adds, he did not fail forthwith to communicate to Earl Bathurst, In conclusion, Lord Huntingdon declares that he will ' not alter the resolution he had already taken, unless he can have the most ample assurance that any new Housed i Representatives he may convene will, in the levy of the public monies for the King's service, act directly the re verse of the late Assembly. " For I add, with deep regret, (the Noble Earl says), that even the Tax Bill of lel% passed le te in the year, and was only carried by the casting vote of the Speaker." Lord Huntingdon men imprudently concludes his reply by calling on the per tioners to procure him a guarantee for altered measures, and that he would take upon himself, even then, to iSi2t - new writs for an Assembly. He then closes by an won fleeting personal allusion to one of the former Members of the House of Assembly, and adds—`• I can little expect such an engagement, at least from one of the nut morialins ' whose name is mutter my eye, es that ex-Member, in ha printed public address to his constituents of the parish of St. George, after the late dissolution, assured the in, that • without doubt every Member of the late Assembly would be re-elected, and return to their posts with the same senti ments." This unadvised document was immediately fel lowed by an Address to the Electors of the parish of S:. George, from Mr. Charles Hobson, the Member to whom Lord Huntingdon alluded, commenting severely on the language of the then Governor. " I cannot (Mr. Hob son says) account why the Noble Lord should so par ticularly have my name tualer his eye • but 1 can assure the Noble Lord that the eyes of th e w hole community art upon him' and his measures ; and, as I consider be his made an unwarrantable attack upon me, that I am fully warranted in saying he has lowered, in a great degree, that dignity which every Governor ought to possess, particu larly considering he is a gentleman of high rank. And is it not (Mr. Hobson strongly adds) highly indecent in the Noble Lord to use the very word Ex-Member.' which lately appeared in the Chrumide, and in which both my public and private character has been libelled. and for which the Noble Lord must know a prosecution was instituted against the attar r ? Does the Noble Lord mean by altered measures' (Mr. Hobson adds) that the representatives of the people should not inquire into the conduct of public officers—that when extortion is proved to exist, that public delinquents shou'd not be brought t punishment—that when grievances exist, that tree Iler sentatives of the people have not the p..wer to make grim antes and supplies go band in hand ? I would ask 114.,.%:-. (Mr. Hobson says,) does the Noble Lord mean by' a!" ti 4 measures,' that the A ssem bl y s h ou ld not establish, by law the fees of the Chief Justice and other publis t officers, and above all, that the Assembly should set direct their pre ceeerngs to be published ? For the Assembly was dissolved but a fear days after the I). pt.ty Treasurer was examined at the bar of the Ilouse, anal no doubt the exposure of that exan,ina - icn was felt b y these who were most affected by it." Th's adds ss was followed by a meeting of the inha bitants held in the t mwn of Bosco**, at the Court-house, on &tun ay, the 6th of March, at which, among other few' lutionr, the fourth declared, " That the refusal of the Go vernor to summon a !loom of Assembly was a violation of the constitution of that island, by which he had lest the confidence and affection of its inhabitants," and it was fol lowed by another, " That an humble Address be presented to his Majesty, praying hint to remove the RiOt Hon. the Earl of Huntingdon front the Government of Dosniaiea, a' the only means by which the tranquillity of the colt's!y can be restored." Another thanked the late Hour sembly for their constitutional resistance to an the Governor to tax that nonmsnnity without their AR Alms to the Thr Inill ig lieve {ben tka ad°P t coiedlon'y whit 'by removing Lord Hu /a ,w wb bi ic eb h alone prevailed co aile, tikl i n bc t • b r i i exist in civil society. fter resigned.

If there was any em barrassment in the deliberation, it was occasioned by the Ml nister's not having presented the project in separate articles.
