Gentlemen on the Bench opposite remain itig in office---(Hear, hear)—and it was fit that they ,thoultl know it. ' He wondered that Minister, had not perceived there teat another alternative in their power be-• side that of advising his ,Majesty to defer his visit to the eq.—( Heer, hear. )—Th is alternatire had nut been merely •suggeat e d to the Hon. Gendeman by these with whom he, (Me. H.) was in the habit of acting, but also by those! c onnected--though certainly not very closely connected,. yet still connected—with his Majesty's Government, and ibis alternative was for the Hon. Gentleman to resign.— The Right Hon. Baronet said he would not, in speaking upon this subject, enter upon party politic.; but this was Mat Point to be decided —whether Ministers were not hotted to consider whether, by the resignation of their , Alm, they might not have preserved the public peace. At the same time he admitted, that if they thought, by retaining their places, they'could still preserve the public 'Peliee, their consciences might tell them they were right. I lie would not indulge in this topic longer. Never, in the history of the country, was there such a etange as since that fatal Speech, and that stitl more fatal declaration of the Duke of 'Wellington. It was not on his own authority ' Ilene haaeserted this, but on the authority of others who h eclirOPle means of information, that lie gave to Ministers intelligence so grating to their ears. His belief was, that if the Ministers hail resigned in the morning, and the Xing had gone to the Guildhall next day, that nothing Would,have occurred of a nature dangerous or Offensive to to tint Duke. Cod forbid that the Noble Duke should liate bers ttposed to danger—or that any other man, im* Oeflitntble,' should be exposed to danger.—( Hear.) The in was, whether Ministers hail not an alterna tive n that resignation to which the general opinion was Al must come, and that speedily ? For albeit there was 110 excitations-.-.no inflammation, yet was there a feeling pervading the country, thee there must be a change in the system by which the so-called Ilepreeentativ. s of the People were elected—(Hear, hear)—and that if the Noble Duke would not pint it, they should find somebody Else that woulti.—(llear, hear.) To this it must come, and if th e Hen. Gentlemen on the opposite benches could tot satisfy their consciences as to the expediency and ne eessity of a Reform in Parliament, and MO bring forward tonsure s to that effect, they should resign—and the sooner this , resigned the better._(Bear.) Mr. BROWNLOW felt grief, disappointment' and in dignation that the King, who Was the most popular, and Justly the most popular Monarch in Europe, who might !test wandered from . Wapping, to St. Giles's without meet -6' ! n g. uth er imPetlitnents, or o b struct i ons except suc h us a Nbi4 S overeign might expect in the cries of his over-taxed eets—that the King shOuld, in consequence of the un l'uldaritY of his Ministers, , proceeding frotu the Speech , a ,fi ttt i i..t o his M o j eety ' s. mouth, and thus using him as an et, we orga n , h ave been prevented from visiting the city of Lorilloti. Ile de c l ar ed t h ere was no fear that the K i ng ould not have been received with enthusiasm; but with the Minister. it was otherwise. The feeling was, that tlley 7 " t he Speech front the Throne bad displayed heart 4--,e" ami indi ff erence t owar d s t h e sufferings o f the I° P'e , and.a dis regar d and a want of sympathy w i th their j ust and natural expectations.

Ind honours. Mr. HUME declared that the popularity of the King was undiminished, and that it was onleeby the preseece of me man—the Duke of Wellington—that the Government was placed. in imminent danger. He . I:oped, since none of the hereditary advisers of the Crown had come forward, that the House of Commons would consider it their duty to present an humble Addrois to his Mejesty, praying hie Majesty to remove the Duke of Wellington and his other evil Councillora—(Hear, and laughter)--and to allay the irritation which universally prevailed. As for the people, if they valued their rights as Englishmen, and wished to iee the Duke of Wellington removed, they would behave Orderly and quietly to-morrow. The CI.LANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER agreed with the lion. Member who spoke last, that if the unpo pularity of the Administration was so great, it was the duty of that House to bring forward a motion for an , humble Address to his Majesty to remove his Ministers. For himself and for his colleagues, - he declared that he did not wiali to remain a moment longer in effice than he enjoyed the confidence of Parliament. If Parliament abould, upon such un apPral, pronounce judgment against him, lie should bow to it, not only with deference, hut with satisfaction—(Luughter)—with satisfaction, because there could be no greater satisfaction than that of having a Ministry which should enjoy the confidence of Pailia ment.--(Cheers.) The Hon. Member for Westminster had urged the Minister, to resign. lie knew not what the feeling of the lion. Member and his friend% might be; but be knew what would be the feeling of the country -CChem' Would not the lion. Gentleman himself be one of the first to tax the Ministers with cowardice?— (Cheers.) They were even now charged with cowardice, because they forbore to accompany the King. And would they, if they now resigned, not be told they had brought the Monarch into circumstances of difficulty, and then e h an d oee d hire.—(Cheers) —and left the city exposed with• oat means to repress the disorders which they had them selves anticipated, and from the approach of which they Lad shrunk 2.--(Cheers.) He trusted the question sug gested by the Hoo.blember for Middlesex would be brought forward-with the lean possible delay.—(Cheers.) Sir JAMES GRAHAM—Sir, I was unwilling to pro. long such a discussion as the present at a time if great excitement, for I feel that more mischief may be done by what is here said than by forbearing to express sentiments, however warmly entertained by Hon. Gentlemen.— (Hear, hear. )—But I have been led to depart from my in tention by the speech which has just been delivered by the Right lion. Gentleman. lie intimated, that if the deci sion of the House of Commons was such as to declare that in their opinion the. public set vice no longer required the services of the Hon. Gentlemen on the opposite Bench, be would receive that decision, not only with deference, but satisfaction ; and, Sir, unless I greatly misunderstand the feeling which has been produced by the Speech from the Throne, and the declarations of the Noble Duke in another place, and of the Right Hon. Baronet in that House, re specting the vital question of Parliamentary Reform, I am not wrong in stating that, in consequence of this feeling, the satisfaction will not be confined to the Bench opposite, but will be reciprocated throughout this great country.-- ( Hear, and laughter. )_The Right Hon. Gent. taunts us with the call to bring forward this question in a whiten dal shape, and as speedily as possible. But, Sir, my ex perience tells me theta premature discussion of this ques tion, constituted as this House is at present, would be exactly the mods which would most conduce to confirm the power of that Administration we are anxious to see at an end.—(Hear.)-1 therefore, hope, that this question will not be agitated, but that we will take that course which the routine of our order-book points out to us, and that in eight or ten days, when the sense of the Com mons of England will be taken upon that cardinal and vital question—whether the state of the representation of the people is or is not to be considered by the Legis lature ?--all Hon. Membe.ra wishing well to their country will came forward and support the motion•—( Hear, hear.) The Duke of Wellington and the Right Hon. Baronet aiy we cannot see our way—we will not sanction any innova tion! The short question, theu at issue between the Ade ministration and the people of England is, if these is or is not to be a reform in the system by which Members are sent into that Assembly ? And when we reflect upon all the circumstances—when we consider that the Speech de livered from the Throne, and the decision of the Ministers, have produced the greetest change in the public senti ments, the ultimate result cannot be doubtful.—(Hear, hear.) The Right Hon. Baronet, in his letter, says it is dangerous to the public tranquillity that by night a Royal procession should take place ; and yet about eight days ago their Majesties visited the Theatres unaccompanied by any extraordinary guard. Was there any confusion ? None. The Royal Sovereign was received with the acclamations of a loyal and attached people.—(Cheers.) Whet is it then, Sir, which has changed this *enmity to alarm-66 loyalty to disaffection? Has any thing intervened, that could possibly effect such a change? Yes, Sir, something has intervened ; there has been a decleretion, a most un compromising declaration, by the Noble Duke at the head of Lis Majesty's Government, that nothing shall tempt him to admit a question, which, unless I not much de. ceived on that very point, on which the Duke of Welling ton says, " I will concede nothing," is that on which the peopl,—l mean not the mob, but the middle cheeses, eater- Win an opinion, in conformity with which the Govern ment of this country must be conducted, if it is to be con.: ducted in peace, and. in conformity with which the Right Hon. Secretary himself hes declered that lie will act, for that he would throw aside patronage, and rely on pile opinion.—(Hear, hear.)—On that point I hope we Khali shortly try time question of our strength, and not op the other question to which the Right Hon. Gen tleman has alluded. On the (Illation of Parliamentary Reform, I hope, Sir, that the decision of this House will be seeeslily taken, and I look to that decision with some degree of confidence; fur I repeat again that on ilea ques tion the wishes of the people are fixed. I repeat, too, that it is now quite clear the question of Reform can he no longer. evaded, and the declaration of the Nohle Duke has astounded the people of England, and made him, within a very short time, the must unpopular Minister that ever swayed the destinies of this country.—( Hear.; —While I out on this part of the subject I must be al. lowed to state one thing which I feel most etiongly, arid which I must express, and that is, that any act of per• sonal violence would cast a stain--an indelible stain— (Hear, hear)—.on the annals of thiLcountry that years ul future glory never could wash away,. I hope and trust that whatever feelings may exist towards th e Noble Per- •on as to his civil eolduct, it will be universally agreed that the country ow►a him an eternal debt of gratitude for his military bery keg, for Ins dauntless valour, and his splendid Successes, that no subsequent events should be allowed to place his person or his life for ore moment in danger. 7 —(Cheers.)—l hope, too, that lac , thoul, perbapo too fond of ruling alone, though averse from all i iiyi b i on o f pow e r, will not be sti obstinate in, the pursuit of his purpose as to place the peace and proprrty of this Country in jeopardy, when the public opinion has been bo decidedly pronounced agoimt the Adininietration of which l ie is th e herd. 'she Hon. Baronet sat down amidst loud and continued cheering. .„ An Ilex. Mauna addressed the House from under the side Gallery, but owing to the departure of Alembers from the House, and strangers front the Gallery, he was quite inaudible. Mr. SLANEY said, that he was happy this discussion had taken place, fur in the 'vane announeethent of evils that had been so profusely made within a short time, the people knew not what to think, and were most anxious to ascertain what was the amount of the danger which they hail to appiebetul from'the letter of the Hon. Gentleman. It appeared from the statements just made by the Hon. Al derman and the Hon. llaronet, that the communieation to the city was made on the supposition that that which had been previorsly made by the Lord Mayhr . elett was so 'Made upon the authority of the highly respectable body which he might be supposed to represent. An inquiry had, it seemed, been made as to the authority of that c mom niCation, on the part of the Lord Mayor elect, and it was now admitted that the letter of the Minister would have been withdrawn if it had been found that that communi cation was erroneous. Now it vas evident that it was at least the busy and unauthorised statement ofan and a statement which the body of the Aldermen repo- ' diated.• Surely the Government ought not to have acted on such a statement, and have advised such a letter as that which hail been sent to the City. 'the Government, under these cireuturtanees, must he taken to have acted in error when they acted on the report of two persons who wero supposed, but wrongly supposed, to have made an audio% rised statement, when, in fact, their statement was made without any authority whatever. Sir C. FORBES observed that Hon. Gentlemen seemed to speak with great freothim on the subject of the retire ment of the Duke of Wellington, but he thought it was a question well worthy of consideration who should succeed hint if be did go out. For himself, he knew no man so tit to he at the head of the Government as the puke of Wellington. It was very roily to say that the feeling of the country was against hie Grace; but he could only say, whatever might be the opinion in that House, that out of it he never witnessed anything of the kind. He WAS sure that the ire holly of the country gave their support to cl the Duke, and when the time came t 9 try that ""en he (Sir C. Forbes) had no doubt that such would be found to be the cue. Mr. DENMAN wished at once to declare his full con eurreure with the Hon. Baronet, the Member for Cumber tind, in the expression of the extreme disgust he should feel at any personal attack that might he made upon that moat illustrious character the Duke of Wellington.—(Hear, hear.) It was a mistake to suppose that an attempt of that kind would be anything but revolting to the mind of the great body of the people..-4Chelts.) Now that he wus •In that subject, he would, if he might"descend from a high to a humble subject, bear an equal testimony to the equally great injustice that would he committed by any meek on the men to whose care the police of the metropolis was now confided.—(Hear, hear.) He filled situation in which he had frequent opportunities of observing their conduct, both as a body and as indivi duals, and he could truly say that he believed them to be a very intelligent, a very ready, and a very re spectable body of men.—(Hear, hear.) Snow of them had, indeed, been deeply disgraced, but their number was very small ; and it should he recollected, too, that those who had been thus questioned were brotriht to justice by others of the same class with themselves..(lfear, hear.) He was anxious particularly to bear testimony to the very excellent conduct of those officers of the Police called the Inspectors, whom in every instance lie had found to be most intelligent, and attentive, and proper. In many in stances he had found them refusing bribes with firmness Intl temper, and exerting a zeal and spirit in the di.eharge of their duty that well deserved the thanks of every re spectable man.---(Hear, hear.) !Living said thus much ith regard to this body of men, he must be allowed to express his opinion of the unfortunate step taken on the part of his Majesty's Ministers in advising his Majesty to postpone that happy assemblage that might have taken place, and to postpone it too on causes that he believed to he wholly inadequate to justify such advice.—( Hear, hear.) He could not but think, tha• when the lion. Alderman who made the communication had waited on the Secretary of State for that purpose, lie ought to have been quells timed as to whether he was deputed by the whole bottYlo communicate any intelligence to the Government on the subject. lie must ray that in this the Ministers were to blame, and not the respectable gentleman referred to, who had been made a scape-goat on this occasion, because, not being a Member of that House, be was not here anti could not answer for himself. That ge Mennen had expressed a certain opinion, on what ground they knew not —he had heard rumours, and, no doubt, thought it his duty to com municate them to the Secretary of State; but the Govern. ment had no right to act on that information without questioning that respectable person, to ascertain the truth of these tumours, and the danger which the Noble Duke was likely to incur. On the other hand, he must any that it appeared to him clear, from the universal expression of. opinion, there was a general disposition to put down these outrages, which it was plain had been got up by thieves who were interested in creating confusion, iu order to pro fit by it at the expence of others, and especially it was clear . that the late attacks upon the police were solely the work of pickpockets, who were likely to be inveterate against the police, in pro rtion as they discharged their duty with fidelity.—(Hear.) It was impossible not to feel that by this step of the Ministers a deep wound hail been given Sc t! e tieing* of the country by that which hail taken place, and its effect would he likely to be considerable upon the conduct of other nations with respect to us, Whether in matters of negociation or hostility. As this course of con duct did not proceed from his Majesty himself, but must be considered the act of his Ministers alone, lie trusted that his Majesty would name some other day, and that an early day—(Hear)—in order to show that lie bad no reluctance in throw himself on tt e feelings of his people, and in the great City of his empire to meet his subjects, and expe rience from them the universal expression of their loyalty. Sir R. PEEL observed that the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, and, indeed, every one who had spoken, seemed to assume that the communication, of the Lord Mayor Elect was the only one on which the Government had acted ; and the Hon. arid Learned Gentleman had said the Ministers ought to have questioned that Mini. Gentle man on the authiiiity under which he made the communi cation. Ile (Sir R. Peel) had seen the Lord MaYor Elect, and if the information had b-en received from him alone, Ministers might have paused before they had advised such a letter ; but for the justification of that Hon. Gentleman, he would stare, that the information thus given was confirmed front at least twenty different quarters. IL, would take that opporimity of remarking one other cir cumstance. He never had had—no one ever had omit lion to find fault with the conduct of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman; 'hut he must say, that in the present instance it was of a nature that he should never forget. He di eply thanked tile Hon. and Learned Gentleman for those sentiments he had expressed with respect to the Duke of Wellington, and also with regard to some much humbler individnels. These sentiments might draw down on him a temporary unpopularity—(No, no,)—he said only a temporary unpopularity—(No, n0,),--but be was sure that they were in accordance with sentiments of all respectable people. SUPPLY.—SLAvEnV. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the Order of the Day for bringing up the Report of the Committee of Supply, Mr. BROUGHAM referred to the notice he had *l, , wen respecting the question of Negro Slavery, and to the notice on the same subject given by Sir George Murray. Ile complained that the Right Hon. Secretary's notice was likely to anticipate his motion ; but observed, that he was determined to maintain the precedency to which his prio rity of notice entitled him, anti that be should certainly move his question on Wednesday next. Sir R. PEEL said, that his Right Hon. Friend was the last person who would think of taking any unfair advan. taco; and after some further conversation, it was agreed, that the time at which the two motions could be discussed should he settled to-morrow. BRIBERY AND TREATING. Mr. HUGHES was understood to ask, when the Chan cellor of the Exchequer intended to bring inn his promised Bill to amend the Bribery and Treating Acts. • The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he should be able to answer that question on Thursday next. CIVIL LIST. Lord ALTHORP said, that as the country was most desirous of knowing what was the plan the Government intended to pursue with respect to the Civil List, he sup gested to the Hon. Member kw Westminster, the pro. priety of postponing his motion, which now stood fixed for Friday next. DELGIUIII. Mr. HOBHOUSE observed, that he should be v er y heppy if he could yield to the suggestion of the Noble Lord, but the question he was now soked to postpone was one on which not only he felt the greatest degree of Anxiety, but which he was convinced, with the single exception, perhaps, of Parliamentary reform.--was view e d by the people in the 11104 anxious manner, namely, the qmation involved in the resolution he meant to move, that there;ehould he it pledge from that House, that Baia country would on no account interfere with the form of Govertaneut in Belgium. His motion stood in the order hook for au early day, and he emit(' not consent to post pone it for any but a very short pw toil. Mr. BROUGHAM suggested the Friday following. Mr. HOLIIIOUSK said he viewed the question as one so closely connected with the giant of supplies, that he, tut It Representative of the p mile, should certainly not con sent to,grant one single shilling if it were to be employed in interfering with the Belgians.—(Hear, hear.)—He then consented to give notice, tliat on Friday the 19th be should move an Address to the Crown on this subject. Now that lie was in postiCasion of the House, he would ask the Right Hon. Secretary for the Hume Depart ment, whether that which he saw in the papers, which; he had no reason to disbelieve, was in fact true namely, that there were ennferences now goiug on it Dowoing-,street, to which the French, Austrian, and Prussian Ambassadors, and English Minister were par ties, but which were not attended by the Dutch Minister ; and if so, whether his Maitsty'e Ministers lied assured theinselees of the concurrence of the Provisional Gravern ment of Belgium, which was -the Oovernment defaeto, now existing there, with any arrangements to which the four Powers :night finally crime? He thought he was at liberty to speak on this while, as he knew the fact that the Provisional thwernment of Belgium—that Govern , molt which was now in the passesaion of the whole country, with the exception wily of Antwerp and Mae -44910...w0u1d admit of tto interference, and that nei th er .by urns nor diplomacy would they allow of any 4ictation respecting the form of Gammon& which they were to receive. He knew tilt as a fact; and lie took the liberty of Sugge,ting to his MajestylaGovenuttent that they would do well to inquire of the parties themselves as to the line of conduct they would pursue, and not trust entirely to the auggesti,in of the Freneh Ambassador. Without fay- ing anything of that illustrious personage s. he merely re commended them to diciust any cominunwetiOns which that very extreordioary perapn might Make. He said this io nottsequeoce of the determination which hi knew to the inhabitants of Be/ginin not to submit to any dictation of place or. England, or Austria, or PrtiSql, Or of , any uther power. lie wished also to state, that the account of these confer awes in London, so far f rom allaying th e i rr i ta ti on of the Belgians, or contributing to the peace o f Eu ro pe. had a directly ventral tendency. He felt it hit duty to make this Statement, fur it was quite possible that tl►e Right Hon. Gentleman to t misinformed as to the intentions of the Belgian Geyer tonent The Congress of Deputies appointed to settle the font► of Government in~ tended to be adopted for Belgium would meet in ten d and after verifying their powers they woul•I proceed at once to the great question of the settlement of their Constitution, and then consider the form of Government 'they should: adopt. Under these circumstances, he asked the Ministers, why they could not wait till the will el these individuals, the real representatives of Belgium, was known ? He threw out these hints for the advice and advantage of the Mit►is tors, for, from all the information he had received, the re-, port of these conferences had excited great initstion in Belgium, since they appeare►l to be adopted solely with a view of dictating, to Belgitsm, and to that dictation the Belgians were determined not to submit. They were re solved to ehoosea•Governnent for themselves and by them , selves ; and though it was possible that they might come to a resolution not to have a Republic, yet, if the Allied Powers should pretend to tell them that they should not have a Republic, such en attempt at dictation might be one of the chief causes for their adopting that form of Government. Sir R. PEEL did not know why the Hon. Member for Westminster should assume thst the Ministers he had mentioned conferred together fur the purpose of attempt ing to dictate to the Belgians the form of Government they should adopt. He could assure the lion. Member and the Home that the first and only step which the Mi nisters had taken at these conferences was one which he was sure the lion. Member would most readily paripan.— namely, an earnest endeavour to induce bath parties to convent to a cessation of hostilities. He did net know what motive the Hon. Member had for giving this Go vernmatt that caution against Prince Talleyrawd. That illustrious person was the accredited Minister of the King of the French ; he must, therefore, be presumed to possess the confidence of the French Government and of the King of the French ; aud, as far as his (Sir R. Peers) Wiser vation went, be saw no reason whatever for feeling any want of eonfidence in the communications of that alio and distinguished Minister. DECCAN PRIZE MONEY. . Mr. HUME asked when this money was to be distri buted? It bad been in the bands of the Government for the last eighteen years. Mr. ARBUTHNOT observed that the distribution had been del4yeti on account of an appeal on behalf of the army to the Privy Council, and when that was decided in their favour, an appeal or memorial was presented to the Treasury against their decision. The Treasury only a few days ago confirmed the deei,ion of the Privy Council, and in a few days the money would be distributed. The Report of the Committee of Supply was brought up and read a first time. On the question that it be read a second time, Mr. HUME asked, what was meant by the resolution just read, " that a Simply be granted to his Majesty ?" and he expressed a desire that the House should be fur. niched with the Estimates on whith the Supply was to be granted. 't he CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the Estimates were already before the House, having been laid on the table in the early part of last Session. After a few words from Sir JOHN Neweottp and the Cuancluon of the Excited:luxe, the report was brought up, and the resolution " That a Supply be granted to his Majesty" was agreed to. .) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved that the House should resolve itself into a Committee of Supply on Wednesday. Mr. HUME inquired whether it was intended that on Wednesday any resolution of Supply would be actual) moved ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied that the motion would be merely formal, as be should not think of bringing on any such question on a Wednesday. The motion was carried. WEST INDIAN INTERCOURSE. . Mr. HERMES moved the Order of the Day for the House to resolve itself into a Committee on the Act repo. latine the intercourse between the Witt Indian islands end the United States of America. The Speaker accordingly left the Chair, and that at the table was, as usual, taken by Sir A. Grant. Mr. HERMES said that his oldect was to make some changes iu the Act regulating commercial intercourse with the West Indian possessions of this country, with a view to establish a permanent system applicablo to that part of our trade. The Act he proposed to amend was that passed in the year 1825, under the auspices of the late Mr. Huskisson ; and his amendment' would relate to the ethedule of protecting duties on the productions of our own country and our own Colonies in exchange with each other, as compared with the imports into those Co lonies from Foreign States. An event of considerable importance to the empire at large, and unquestionably to certain parts of our Colonial possessi.mo, had recently oc. curred, to which it was indispensibly necessary be should advert, in order to explain to the Committee the views under which he proposed the change in the schedule to which he had adverted ; that event was the final conclusion of the point long contested between Great Britain and the United States as to the degree and manner in which the letter were to prosecute their intercourse with the West Indies. He h►d the gratification of being able to state that a topic of discussion between two nations which had occupied the longest time, and was of the most intricate character of any within memory, and which had been subject to many variationa of pretension on both sides, bad now been amicabiy, and he trusted fur ever, terminated to thesatistaction of t•utlt parties. , Farther, he had to inform the Committee that the adjustment had taken place on the basis, and without the slightest do. parture from that basis, of the Act of which down defiaitively the principles on which Great llritain wou'd allow to foreigners a participation in the trado of her West Indian possessions. It was well known to all that the dispute upon this point had been carried or almost from the date when the United States mased to l►e a component part of the British Empire. The views of the United States on this subj , et, i►► the fire . : instance,, were very limited, and they were then willing to accept, as a sort of boon, what they had since chime , ' as a right ; the British Government was then, and had ever since been, willing to admit the claim upon any reasonable grounds ; but various causes, from time to time, arose to Impede tke conclusion of the question by amicable maven lion. In 1794 the proposal of the British Government was finally rejected by the United States, and in 1810 it e tr . i p i t ! was found ittiPtusible'to effect any ft ing u i i•laereaseepoisviitieivne the eteGrdeivcetironne teof existed co r lonies were empow. of the front tieutli t ted itne to st time, etee .o to n opn t e he t e he en p e i l , t r o t i s en to ,, t f lat r shipping e pp t i h n i g e country reverted to her original principle of the exclu sive possession of the trade of her own Colonies. From that date until the present scarcely a single )ear passed without an infructuous attempt on the one side or on the other to settle the question. By what was known by the mime of Mr. hubs ,son's /tot a fair . ..petting seented.ofiered fur the arrangement of the commercial intercourse be tween the United States. and - the British Colonies; but the meesuses adopted in consequence by the Republic were eertait4 not such as to render t'as. Statute Active for the purposes for which it was passed. Since that slate, the claims advanced by the United States, in Itia, had been entirely retracted, or it was obvious that it would have been impossible to have fully, and completely arranged the matter in difference. They had uncontliqonally with drawn their unfounded pretensions, and this country now stood on the footing it occupied in 182, and which it an nounced to all the world it was determined to mainfain. Ile was bound to add, anti be should not do justice to the United States if he did not add it, that it was impossible for any Government to have combacteddt negociation, in which the important intereuts of` both countries were deeply concerned, in e more frank, straight-forward s von ciliately, anti therefore its: he thought % polic.e, wise, and prudent manner, than !het ptirentsi by the United Stat-e.. He believed thut en this occasion neither party had hail the slightest reason to cotrplain of the other, but every just ground of satisfaction and confidence. Certain docu ments connected with this important +Attainu had already been laid upon the t;dile of Parliament, and others, to complete the series, would, of coarse, in due tin be communicated. t was fit to st a t e , in"otder 01;4 no undue impression might e made upon fl i \e mind of any iudivi dual, that in concluding thia last and final arrangement. the, preterit tjorXlllMent had adhered without exception to e i t n l; c eP ri rel t ): I:nnioes ti o ll t io i d l s y ed4 a dw t ° .ln ub tfo e n tn e ht .l i: its l redecessors fu office, as former principles but hail also satisfied the British Government, by nrod4'sng the etutettnent under whop the revocaeo of thul plea was to take etLet'i eril teat any ambiguity should ari , e. the 1 11 0 4 eirplanatione hail been required on Ole one side, and given on the other. This country WO thus called upon, by every consideration, to aduqV. ll " United State* to a parti c ip at i on in that tradef.rotn ivutch they have hitherto been exeledvt, 'the 14iw of itiifi *as framed with it that alt ithould so participate ; and it ivril the oonduct of the. United States which had hi t h e rto prevented them from enjoying the benefits which ot h ers had reaped nom pal ticipation. It must lie satis factory to the House to learn, that all those matters in dilkenee were now finally and completely set at rest; but it was, at the same time, inulispensibly tweessary t o mender what changes bed occurred since the enact-, ment of the schedule of duties—whetiter anythiatt had occurred 'since 1825 to render those duties unfi for the purpose for which they were intended, viz. tht: due pr ection of our men colonial interests. The affect of the existence of t oe-heel-course between tha West Indite, and the United St s h,!l hem, to creite new channels of trade, end to raise tei a HON class of claimants to the protection afforded by duties ; it had produced a circuitous intercourse by means of our torn North Ameri can Colonies ; and whatever might have been the inten tion of this country in 1825, it was necessary now to tell the Uoited Stites, th it as they were the cause of the change, they must abide by the consequence's, The Act of 1825 contiined the conditions of teptality on which the trade was to he carried On, and it a!sn contained the sche dule of protecting duties; but all parties were at all times e•iven to understanc that the British Government reserved to itself the right of altering those duties without responsi hility to any foreign State. To avoid the possibility of mistake, this right IN been especially impressed upon the Government of the United States ; no objection could therefore be raised by any party to the course he now wished to pursue, and, least of all, by that Gevernment which, from time to time, had changed its tariff just as olited its temperary view. He should, therefore, pro. pose some not humaterial alterations in the schedule of duties, the chief object of which would be to twine the intereete of the British North American colonies from 'suffering consequence of the confidence with which it lied embarked in speculations, and made investment*, under the belief that the present system was likely to be of tenger continuance. Whether the Colonist* could claim this protection as a strict right was a different question, but there was no doubt that Parliament ought to feel an earnest solicitude for their interests. One object of the schedule of 1825 was to encourage the introduc tion into the West Indies of articles from our North American Colonies ; it had stucco/dist, but, under the change of circumstances, it was now the business of this country to take t i ff pert of the duty on "foreign shipping, which, to the present moment, had existed, and had opt , . rated against the United Suites. The circuitous trade through our North American Colonies had been encour. aged by this Governtnent, and such, as he had already re marked, was the desi i m of the schedule. It was true that the lower descriptions of grain and flour had never yet passed through those Colonies they had been derived from the United States; but lumber of every description, wood and staves of the greatest importance to the West. Indies—had been conveyed thither entirely from our North American Colonies. The ',AAA, would, therefore, give increased protection to the Canada*, fur the carriage of those articles, and u protecting duty would be ituposed for the maintenance of their intermits : that duty would he merely an increase of the impost upon lumber; it wat already 7s. per thousand staves, and he should pro. pose that it be raised to 10s. Gil. per thousand. The planters would thus be fmn:shed at as cheap a rate as they could reasonably expect, and the pm incip!s• of the change would be to afford that degree of pro tection which would balance the foreign supply, so as to give to the consumer as fair a competition as pessible. The better mode would be, that he should lay before the House, in a printed form, a comparison between the two eeltedtees, so that the House would at once perceive how the law stood now, and how he propelled that it should stand in futnre. That comparison was, probably, by this time printed ; and the House would be aware that, in cm sequence of the distance, it was fit that no delay should occur, and that the new duties should come into opera. tion at the date of the Order in Council which bud alree,ly been issued. Ile could not refrain from observing, that these changes must operate considerably to the disadven tage of the United States, and he doubted if any country permanently gaiae l by the commercial injury of another State. It seemed to him that much would be gained oil both sides—to the shipping interest at home, as well an to our North American pos,essions. It was to him a matter of the highest satisfaction to mark the growing ptosperity of those colonies: among other recent benefits, they were drawing coal in same parts of CUMIN, of a quality of pe culiar excellence, which they were lunging to be able to export to the United Slates. A esstem of free intercourse must always be preferable to restriction, amid the system he was about to recommend was far mere beneficial than that which had so long exist it. Wee such a state, the entire suspeneian of the intercourse between our West Indian Colonies and the United States, to be compared sa that which he now had the satisfiction to See established, There was an important leeture by which that schedule was distinguished from all former owe. It was this—that in wh it.ver territory . the commodities in troduced (tom One West Wien Islands into the Uuited States may have been produced they shall be admitted without any additional duty. The Hon. Gentleman then referred to the comparative Larks for the proof of the ad vantageous terms under which the produce of our West Indian Colonies will beucefot th be received in the United States, and concluded by moving, that it was the opinion of that Cummittee, that " no duties be imposed on com mo•liiies introduced into his Majesty's Colonies in the West Indies, front the United States of America other than those described in the schedule." Mr. GEORGE ROBINSON would not trouble the Committee with any remark on the schedule proposed for the sanction of the Committee by the Right Hon. Gentle man opposite. But with respect to the lion. Gentleman's assertion, that all parties interested in the commercial prosperity of England would receive with satisfaction the announcement of the new footing on whieh the intercourse of our colonies in the West Indies with the United States of America has been placed, be (Mr. IL) could not help observing, that there was one party deeply interested in the question, which would beer with regret the change which the Bluish Govertunent hied thought proper to make in that in tercourse. Hu acknowledged that in strict accordance with the policy of a Statesman, whose loss he (Mr. R.) deplored as much as any roan--but be would ask the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Heities) it' there had nut been a decided change in the commercial policy of the !flaked States of America, since the measures introdueed by the lamented Statesman alluded to (Mr. Heskision) in the year ISO ? He asked if it had not bent the policy of those States, Ac cording to the tariff tripes enacted, to exclude from their ten itoty every article of Whist' prodoellon it He would ask it this be the time to make A change in our commoner-' cial policy in twoor or the United States, when, by the ' tariff of 1828, our productions are virtu illy Shut nut from their territories ? Ile ineisted that it had a!ways been the Odra of the United Stater to obtain that uninterrupted access to our Colonies in the West which Minis tors had now conceded, without arty Adequate compensa than. His view of the effect of she present measures was, that they would throw the whole trade with the West India I-latela into the hands of the United Stato. to the exclusion of nor North American Cobol;::, By those measures, the whole hominess of fot *hipping at present employed in the carrying tre,Le between the Canadair amid the British posiessim in the West Indies, would he trans ferreel to the cwomeccial navy of the United Statue, But j the lion. Gentleman (Mr. Berries) had told them that j they have made mimes:alone which they refueled 1528. Thoho oorooaluno, however, seemed to centrist in their return to the duties existing hrfpte that time.
