He bad been made . to say, that the conquest of Canada by the Americans would not have been disagreeable to Some of those persons who called theinselves our friendS in Canuda. Instead of which he had said, that the Conquest of that province would not have been diangreeable to many of those who called 'themselves our. friends in firneiica COPPER' EXPORTATION. BILL. • 11r. Wa4wro.N broil ht op the Report of this GRENrELL BiII. . thought that the prohibition, o the exportation' of manufactured Copper to: Antes, rica (which was the object of the Bill), was a Inca. sure highly. impolitic. It would oblige the Arne ricans to make use of the copper which they could procure .from South America, and which they woulifinarinfacture themselves. Nay, for the manufacture of that article had actually bean erected in America. Mr. G, Itosa-asked the Honourable Gentleman who had'• spoke hist, whether mills actually „Were erecting for rolling copper in AnteriCa ? Being - answered. in the affirmative, he then said •tlrat it the Americans could get r..ny quantity of copper from South Ameriea, and could manufacture it themielves, he could not understand .Why the ex.- portation of .that article from hence sfiould be emir, tinued,,nor why it could be' thought to prevent it. Mr. BARING spoke against the ill. It was, he thought, had policy to al . istain from sap Plying the . Americans with manofactared copper, because they used it for naval purposes. ' • • Me, RbaiNsoll observed, that .tlicßill did not reqnire an unciinditional prohibition 'of the. ex portation of copper, bora prohibition under par ticular circunistapc . ps. Ile cenid 'not agree with the Hon. Cknt..(Mr. B.) in thinking that it was inipolitic to prevent the exportation of naval attires to ap enemy. Mr. WurrBILL: AD thought it was *cry injudiei ous to attempt to cripple an enemy, by preventing the exportation of articles which that enemy might use for naval or military purposes. ',This was. proved by the result of several attempts of - that kind, which had been made against France., COuld it be, fdr one moment, thought that Ame rica would end to Sea one. single frigate less, he 7, cause the exportation of topper from this COLITI~ try vas prevented? , If the Privy Council shoUld once stop the exportation of coliper from country to America, they would do it for ever, be;- cause she would learn to supply herself trout other quarters. The Hon. Wm. DoNnAs could not 'understand Ichy - Great Btitain should Supply America with What she wanted to hasten the equipment of fri gates-to tight agahut this country. The delay of evetv a few months would tic advantagtOus to -this: country, The. Bill, before the House world oblige of copper for the'A t n er i c ans to wait for ft supply their ships until they could -procure it• trona the tardy opera.tionS -01,,their doubtful wills. The Report was .tiled received', and the 13a1 . was ordered to be read a third time on Monday next. The Starch Bill, went through a Committee. the — 1 Iteport of which was ordered to be received on Moneay. The second reading of the Corniin Miners Bill was postponed till Monday. jj The Revenue PrisOners Bill went tilroulTit a Committee. The Report ordered to be nought upon Monday. The second reading of the Irish Schools Bill • is was postponed* till Monday. l4 rs REGISTER OF THE HIZII COVRT OF ADMIRAL'rY fILL. 17 Mr. .MAreribi said;it , wasin consequence of the, recommendation of the. committee of, which he, had the honour, to be Chairman, that he brought , forward this 13i11. ~the Def)nty fiegisterShip of the High Court . of.Admiralty s ks - as one of the of flees wh'th had fallen under the ?onsitlerati: . m of that, Committee.:' From' the inforinalion of the Deputy-RegisteCof that Court, it appeared that a great part of the emoluments arose frOrn the mo ney of suitors. ' He was not "disposed to trench upon the legitimate omoluments . of the office of , Register of that CoUrt, bat it appeared that in. One year thoSe emoluments amounted to the sum of 200o0W. and upon the testimony of Mr. Jen • ner, at onetime to 207,0001. Lord Arden; it op-, neared, had drawn from the office; thel sums_ of 400,0001.• and 20,0004 Th 6 was the amount of suitors money at two different period, einproyedi for his benefit. For the Sums so .taken, it. appear , - ' ed no security was given, except that 'of 20,0001, each for two persOns. They had recommended that the practice .of the, Court of Chancery,. and of the High C.ourt,of Atilitalty, Should be as 7" sinOlated, and this . Was the only object of his Bill.. Perceval, who had a reversionary interest in. . the situation to'which the Bill was directed, had fu r - tnencked a much greater change. 'His object was to regulate, the fees of the offiee, by allowing, a portion only of them to be received, and transfer ring the, rest t,O the . Consolidated Fund. The use of the .saitorSuioney was .not, r .he contended, one of. the legitimate profitkof the office. The suitors ',money was deptoited in that Court willingly by. ,them, but brought into it merely for the pur pose of safe custody.'One object of his, Rill . was, that the tnoney should be pruld into the 'Bank of England, as . waste practice with' ,respect to suitors money in' the Court of Chancery. there was also a provision to be introduced in. the Bill making it a capital felony to forge the signature of the Register,of.the Court of Admiralty. He would 119 E detain the House any longer, but move forleave to bring in a Bill to regulate ; the office Register of the High , Court of Admiralty, and- High Court of Appeals for Prizes. fiord CASiLEREAGH said, he would not oppose the bringing in of. the Bill, but•shotild not consider himself bound to support it in its progress.,. Leave given. KILIIMNUAM. a 111r. - PET.E rose, pursuant to his 'notice, to hove for leave to-bring in a Bill to. ,continue - certain Pensions which had been granted' to Privates of the Irish Militia, under the circumstances which lie was about to • state. It appeared, that the Governors 'of Kilmainhana had, through • tit4apprehension -the law, extended to - privates of the Mlitia 'the benefit which was intended be -Oven May to soldiers' of the line, viz. that of a pension from length of service:: This 'was a mistake which it , was' necessary to corract,' but at the same, time he thought it would be hard to take away the pensiona frOut those persons who now enjoyed them,•eiren though - they were not, by law entitled-to them ;he should, tlrerefore, pro pose to continue to' the m the' perisions they niaw possessed, but to take care that for the - future the law should be 'correctly idministered. He .con eluded with nioving for leave to bring in the Bp. - ,Mr. POLE could not consent to reading the Bill, if it went to deprive the Irish Militia of any privilege they had hitherto enjoyed ; and-if he understood the itigla Hon. Gentfeman, such was the case, and unless he was greatly in6takvn the meAstire, be should feel obliged to mop c an .Anlendinent to it. Afr. C. LONG: said, be was inclined to belitve the 'got]. Gentleman - laboured unifier a misconcep tion of: the It was not intended to take from the Irish Militia any thing that they before pOssessed by law, lat , -t. pensions had been granted to soldiers for length of service, and it was making a difference in the Militia of the two countries. — It was not meant to take away those pensisms; but to prevent the grantini•of Others ; and when ,the Hon. Oentletnan understood: thN, be wonld,.of course, not give the Dili his opposition. • • Mr. Paxt.ti said, - that the ,only persons, belon iog.to the Militia Who Were cat tied, from length of,service, to pensions . ; waie serjeants, corporals, and drummers, who were considered as being. permat,ently employed.
