The public will recollect that some dais

kuown in the city :—
"I have received intelligence fromTrance
on which 1 rely, that an order hail been is
sued to bring to sale the American ships
and cargoes captured and brought into Na

ed to seize and confiscate all such as had
arrived, or might arrive in those of Spain."

" Col. BURR has arrived here within i

BRITISH IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
The debates received by the arrival at Nor
folk are not so important to this ronntrv
y as
was naturally anticipated,
Ail we find, in the
mass of matter before ns relating to American
affairs, are contained in the following extracts:
Mr. Whitbrcd, an opposition member, ailn
ding to what had fallen from Mr. Canning,
re.
marked :
"The next respected America; ami here
he could not help expressing lbs surprize, that
the right Iron, gentleman who had last spoken,
had abstained from explaining why in tire last
session be bad withheld from the bouse, a du
ettment, which went to tire complete justifica
tion of out minister in that country. He
v, a
glad to hear, by a passage in his majesty's
speech, that our affairs with America were in a
train of accommodation ; but tire right honor
aide gentleman o; posite is deeply responsible
for the tardiness with which that arrangement
had been entered into."
A ministerial member remarked:
" To the affairs of America, it nvglit be in
d Tomus for liim in their present situation to
achert. rmr should he, after the observations of
liis majesty's speech, enter into anv inquiry
as
to trie conduct of the ministers.
11 tire honor
of lire nation were at stake, however we might
regret the revival of hos'tlitits, or the injury of
our trade, it could not be « matter of hesitation.
Rut of the effects a war with America might
pto'uce upon tire commerce of tins country,
w- might be aide to form some judgment from
former experience. Duting the embargo the
amount of the exports to and from the United
States, were unquestionably decreased ; but
'hisloss was amply counterbalanced by tlie di
i e. t trade car rietl on by our merchants to Spain.
England desired wither peace or soar; blit she
would su fier no indignity, and make no unite
com ng concessions. \\ ith e\cry engine of
power and perfidy against us, tire sitmuinn of
tins coinitrv had provid to Bouaparte that it is
invnl rir .lile in tlie very point to which all his
efforts were directed. 1 he accounts of the
ex
ports of British manufacture* would be found
to exceed by several mil tons, those of any for
mer period."
Mr. Perceval (the chancellor of the exche
quer) remarked :
" With regard to America, there certainly
did appear to exist greater difficulties in recon
ciling tin: difference which had subsisted be
tween them ; hut even upon this point, the ol>

went to the complete justification of Mr. Eis

When this subject was under discussion last
session, his right honorable friend (Mr. Can

document which was then produced, viz. to
justify I iis majesty's government for refusing
to agree to the treaty signed by Mr. Erskaie.

of

signing that treaty. I lis right honorable friend
also stated, at that time, that what he was then
saying, was not intended as an attack upon Mr.
Erskine, but that lliire were other documents
which might be produced ii that gentleman
