AMERICAN TREATY. - Mr. N. l" AN 177 . .4.Rt=moved- the Order, of the Day for the . second reading of the American ,Treaty Bill, with a view, he said, Of moving its ostlionetmnr. The Order of the Day being read, Mr. IV. VANSITTART moved that it should be read a second time ort Friday. ' Gr,'IeraI . GASCOYNE was of opinion that the Second 'reading of the Bill ought to be pOstponed to a later day than Friday. The Bill, he said; was of the greatest 'importance to the Commerce of the Country, and many Gentletnen who Were.highly interested in it, - would not be able to attend on so early. a day as that mentioned by the Hon. Gentle man. There was every reason to believe that the discussions-upon this Bill, would branch, out into a variety of topics,.- -embracing the Whole of the American Treaty and other •-subjeCts 'interwoven with the Commerce of the - Country, and he thought that upon such a .discussion the CHANCELLOR of t EXCHEQUER ought to be present. That Right' Hon. Gentlentan 'was, he understood, prevented - by circumstances .which he, in common with the rest of the House must lament, from attending at present ; but as there was no' immediate necessity -to push forward the Bill, as =it was only _to enable ails MAJESTY to do a certain act ala future time, he could see no reason why :the second reading should fiat be postponed fora few aays longer' :--- added to this, the Papers which he had moved for on a former day, and which. were of importance to the discussion of the Bill, were not yet laid upon the Table for -the perusal of Members: He begged leave therefore to. suggest Monday for the second reading.. - Mr. N. FANSITTART said, he lamented as Much as the Hon. Gentleman the circumstances which prevented His Right,Hon. Friend from at tending ih his place : he saw no urgent reason for pressing the Bill forward; and. as it was alleged to be of great importance to the Commerce of the Country, he had no objection to the day mentioned by the Hon. Gentleman. .The Bill was then.ordered to . be read a second time on Monday. BOOKSELLERS AND . PRINTERS. Mr. SiIAW LEFEPRE said, he had given no_ tice -some days ago of hiS intention to move to re fer the Petition of the Booksellers and Printers to a Committee, but in consequence of the absence-of a Right Hon. Gentleman (the _CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER), which he lamented in common with others, he begged leave to postpone his Motio❑ till Friday. Mr. SHAW LEFEVRE -moved for an account of the amount of the Drawbacks paid on.printed Books exported from the sth of April 1795, to the sth of April - x 8o r, and for the ,three quarters of a year ending the sth of January tgoa.—Ordered. - The Committees of Supply and Ways and Means were deferred till Friday.
