HOUSE OF PEERS. il. - rus4nAy, MAY G. . . ON the, Order of the Day for the second reading of the American Intercourse Bill; Lord SHEFFIELD rose to oppose . it. He stated, that if time were afforded for hearing Petitioners against this measure; and 'for examining Witnesses, he could prove that British shipping was pertealy adequate to carrying on the trade which it was pro-. posed to abandon, to the United States. It had been said that 1 5 JOO6 Negroes had died in consequence • stria prohibition of the intercourse between our Cc.i lonies and the United States ; but he believed the deaths did not exceed fifteen hundred, and that tthee were occasioned by an earthquake and a hurricane, _ The present Bill,. if passed, would prove extre•nely injurious to the shipping interest of this Country; and the British Settlements in America,'which were now in a rapid state of decline, would he enti ,, dy ruined by it. It was, therefore, his intention'to pro pose to postpone the second reading of the Bill until the 16th of this month, that the Petitions preparing against it might be presented, and proof of its injuri ous tendency adduced. In the Mean time, he moved,. that the order for the second reading of the Bill this day be discharged. The qUestion for discharging this order was put, and negatived. On the Motion that the Bill be now.read a second time, a long discussion aroSe, in which the argu ments for and againSt the measure, urged in former Debates, were repeated. • The Duke of - MONTROSE observed; that this Bill had occasioned great alarm, because it indicated au intention of relaxing - the Navigation' Laws. He objeaed to it, therefore, not only on account of the impropriety of the measure itself, but on account of the system to which it led. , Lord LAUDERDALE observed, , that the argu ment maintained by the Noble Duke was one of the most Singular nature he had ever heard. His Grace, it appeared, had not much objection to offer to the Bill itself, but he opposed it on account of some other Bilk which he supposed to be in speculation.. The ground on which the present Bill had been intro duced, his Lordship observed, was one of the soundest principles on which any legislative measure could be adopted, namely, the necessity 'of the case. ' It would he recollected that Parliament had been called upon to pass seven Aa'.l - s of 'ln detunity in consequence of breaches of the law which that necessity had at different tines produced. He would ask, whether h was not better t 4 allow rt to their existence, than to make them pay an enor mous price, is they must do if the same articles *ere conveyed to them. in time of War in British Ships, liable to all the charges of high freight and insu rance, and more 'especially as the Americans were paid for the supplies furnished by English manufac tures. Lord MULGRAVE considered the principle as sumed by the Noble Lord, that our Colonies should be supplied from America, becanse they could get what they wanted cheapest from that Country, as most impolitic and dangerous. The LORD CHANCELLOR reminded their Lordships of the nature of the Bill, which, if he rightly understood it, merely authorized the Privy Council to dire& the Governors of- the Colonies . co permit importations, in cases of necessity. Lord CARNARVOA said, that the opposition to the Bill was very remarkable. The Noble Lords who complained sO much of what they called a breach of the Navigation Laws, were the very personS who had repeatedly, in War and in Peace, infringed that lav7 , themselves. The Duke of CLARENCE, in an able speech, referred to the origin 'of the Navi g ation Act, and sheaved that the alterations which .hal taken place in this Chuntry,and in the world, rendered that important law not always applicable to' the intercourse between the United States and the British Colonies. His Royal Highness also 'remarked, that all the articles. enumerated in the Bill as import Able to the Colonies, were, with the exception of . beef and pork, exclu sively the production of Americk - Lord CAMDEN opposed the Bill. Lord HOLLA,N.D • pointed out the impolicy of the argument which should say to America, espe, chilly in time of War, " Our Colonies are in want of articles which are uecessary•for their preservation; - these are-articles of your produce ; but though we cannot do without them, youshall not send them in your own bottoms ; we insist upon bringing them in ours." If it should be necessary to hold out en couragement to the shipping interest, the regula -tions for that purpose ought to be sought for in any species of trade rather than in that of provisions. Lord HAIKKESBURY stated the great principle Of the Navigation Law to be, that if ever it should happen that commerce and navigation interfered, the interests of 'commerce ought to be sacrificed to the interests of navigation. If ever there was a period when this principle ought to be held sacred, it was the present. In Adding to the claims of the United States, his Lordship observed, that he knew it to be the opinion of some of the most enlightened men in America, that, notwithstanding the establishment of their independence, a political union of the States with Great Britain would be for the interest of both' Countries. Lord AUCKLAND said, that the whole question at issue Was, Whether the West India Islands could be supplied in time of War by British Shipping ? Unless the Noble- Lords who opposed the Bill could chew that this was practicable, all theirobjeaions were nugatory. Lord GRENVILLE said, that if any person had heard this debate, who was ignorant of the important business before the House, their Lordships would ap year to be at a loss to know what' to do with their P,~4,
