By the Brig Elizabeth, Captain Young, tvbo
arrived here on Thursday last, in 30 Days
% from Liverpool, we have the following Advices.
Lord CAMDEN'S SPEECH on the New-
England Fishery Bill.
THE following bill being twice read in the House
of Lords, entitled, “ A bill to refrain the com
merce of Maflachufetfs Bay and New-HampJhire, and
Colonies of Connecticut and Kb^k-IJland, and Provi
dence Plantation in North- America, to Great-Britain,
Ireland, and the Britijh Ijlatids in the Weft-Indies ;
and to prohibit fitch Provinces and Colonies from car
rying on any Fijbery on the Banks of Newfoundland,
or other places therein to be mentioned, under certain
conditions, and for.a time to be limited , And the de
bates on that bill being, by unanimous consent, ad
journed from Wednesday, March 15, to Tburfday,
March 16, Lord Camden, in the course of this impor
tant discussion, spoke substantially as follows :
HIS Lordjhi, rose by ex, refag bis uneafnefs on
being so confantly impelled to swim against the stream
in that Honourable House; that he would be almoji
tired of this circumfance, did not bis duty as a Member
demand it from him ; a duty he would ever adhere to,
wbilfl be was Ifoxed to with proper attention and re
f,e&. His Lordship then took an extenfae, circuitous
view of this bill, and examined it in its progress on
every fide with so much confitutional knowledge and
observation, as left us in too much admiration of his
abilities to follow him with that ,recifan we could
wifo. He compared it with the other American bills,
which be frid were by means so violent in their ope
rations as this ; that tins was at once declaring war,
and beginning boflilities in Great-Britain. He repeat
ed the word war several times, and paid be knew no
other name to give it, for that it carried famine, the
worfi engine of war, into the bowels of the country,
and consequently demanded refinance from the tamtf
and most fertile of mankind. His Lordfoi, next took
a view of the firfl emigration and settlement of the
Colonies ; observed they were efablijbcd with great
Prudence and Jorejight ; that to one was given a de
mocratic form of government, to others particular
<rants, and to others charters; the government in
Charles the Firm's time, by this mode of Settlement,
making the political interefs so oppofte, as it would be
next to an impofibility for them to coalesce in oppoftion
to the Mother Country. But, fays bis Lordjbip, the
machinations of the prefect adminifration are faperior
to the wisdom of our anceflors ; they have found out a
method to make all those contending intereJis unite a
gain/t the Mother Country, and to cry out with one
voice and with one mind, " Let us join for our com
mon fafety ;" and if nothing else (continued bis Lord
s!,) fbewed me the unconstitutional effeNs of those ,
American bills, such an oblivion of pafi animosities a
mongst themselves, such a sudden union, and fuck a
general spirit of felf-defence, which prevails amongJt
the Americans, would afford me thefrongef and cleatr
ef conviction of their being oppressed.
He next remarked with great Spirit on the impolicy
and inhumanity of forming boflile alls of Parliament
against so large a body as three millions of people, for
the riotous indiferetion of a small mob, without ever
bringing the parties to a bearing, without ever diferi-.
minating the guilty from the unguilty, or offering in
the leaf any one plan of conciliation. It is true indeed,
my Lords, fays be, fometbing like the latter was lately
bunted at in the other House; but the Minister seemed,
to do it from bimfclf, and soon found bimfelf so ill
supported in that bujinefs, that be was dragged from
bis pacific situation to fund upon more hostile ground.
His Lordjbip observed, that it was a doHrine very
much in fafoton of la'e to make an implicit appeal to
parliament ; insomuch so, that whatever the majori
ties decide there, to that there could be no reJifiance ;
ultimate power mus be lodged some where, and the
confitution had wifely placed it there. This doElrine,
fays bis Lordjbip, has been attempted to be fa,ported
by a Reverend Dean, as well as by a late anonymous
writer in a pamphlet called, " Taxation no Tyranny,"
But this doNrine I deny; I have often denied it before,,
and dm disposed to deny it on every occajion wbatfo
ever ; as there may be cases where, from the delin
quency of parliament, the original power which con
fituted that parliament Jhould, and ought to revert to
the people at large, and when the afl of that parlia
ment should not be abided by :—Su„fe, for infance,
my Lords, a parliament Jbould take it into their beads
(trampling on the power original!) delegated to them
by the people) to make a formal surrender of that
power and authority to the crown. In fueb a case,
don't you think the people would be jufifed in refifing
fueb an unconfitutional surrender. Nay, my Lords,
don't file at this supposition ; the case actually hap
pened in Denmark, alms within living memory;|
nay, it happened in our country in the reign of Henry
Till, when that vicious parliament bound tbemfelves
to receive the King's proclamations as laws. In such
cafestben, my Lords, it is my opinion, the people whose
rights are thus wantonly given away, are juftfed to
reffl, as originally claiming that right from the ctinfi-\
tution ; and I will tell your Lordfbip where I learned
this opinion ;—I learned it from Mr. Locke, the friend
of Lord Somers, that great friend and bulwark of
Englijh liberties.
" G but, fay these advocates for a Britijb parlia
mentexerefing their coerfonover the colonies, Liberty is
one.thins, in Great-Britain and another in America."--
This do&rine bis Lordjbip reprobated in the mos ani
mated and forcible manner ; be Jhewed that Liberty
in the Englijb confitution mas the great vital prin
ciple which nourished and vivified every part of it ;.
that it mas alike in the extremeties as at the heart ;
and tku vben it mas oppressed in the former, the lat
ter CGtdd"'Kt?ong exif.
His Lord, bip then recurred to the great frefs that
mas laid, in the course of the debate, on the encreafe
cj famcn by this bill (as given in evidence the day
before by Mefrs. Lifer and Davies) and observed,
tbas it mas no way of obtaining evidence tn this mat
ter from interested men, who probably from the ob
taining three or four hundred a year in a particular
trade by the operation of this bill, might be influenced
to fee and feel effects that would never happen ;---
men, who could not be fufepofed, from their fauations,
to fee the whole of a great commercial quefion, and
who are only governed by fucb and fuck parts as af
fected their particular departments in life. He ad
mitted the bill, for argument fake, to produce an ad
ditional number of seamen ; but said, surely there
were various other methods to be pursued than carry
ing f° refrifsive a law into execution, which mis de
prive thousands of innocent people of their common
,bffance.
His Lordfd, acknowledged the little probability he
saw of government's relaxing in her conduit towards
America, or proceeding upon any great, wife, and
conf itutional grounds, which might open a propped of
reconciliation at present, or cement the bond of amity
jor the future.
" lam induced to this way of thinking, fays bis
Lordfip, from a circumfance which lately happened
in this honourable House ; it is too recent but to be in
all your recollections, when anoble Lord, who is not
^nl, great in this country, but great amongst nations ;
a noble Lord, wbofe name, at leaf, is so referable
in this House, that however others may differ 'with
him in opinion, they are forced to compliment him on
bis great and various abilities ;---a noble Lord, who
not only protefled by his councils this country, but
foewed it her brightef and broadest paths to glory ;---
a noble Lord, who perhaps indirefy taught you this
pride of conquef you are now exercising against your
follow fubjeAs in America : , (as from the Arnott
certainty of bis councils being ever crowned with fuc
^cefs against our enemies, you are now flattered with
\an opinion of being able, from yourselves,, to turnyour
'arms against your friends) I fay, my Lords, when
\bis noble Lord, forgetting the blunders and violences
q adminifration, fat down with all his collected
wflfdem and experience, having no other view than
afoboneft ambition to bead the divifons oj the friends
of his country, as be bad hitherto so fuccefsfully hum
bled' the pride of its foes ; when be, I fay, ambiti
ous to be once more the guardian of his country,
brought a conciliatory bill into this honorable House,
and opened and explained all its parts, tendencies and
operations ---bow was it treated ? I blufb to mention
it ; it is all your recollections ; the bill was hardly
permitted to tie four and twenty hours on your table ;
and when a noble Lord, in adminif ration urged, from
the various and complicated matter it contained, that
a future day might be appointed for the difeufion, he
was over-ruled by numbers; it was at once reprobated
and treated with all the marks of puerility and
contempt."
His Lordjbip dwelt much on the conduN of the
House in this circumfance, and begged of them, as
they were not to be prevailed on to accept that bill,
that they would at leaf not let fueb a proceedingfand
upon their books ; be paid, the honour of the present
times, and that.of poferify demanded fitch cm erale
ment ; as, by lettingb.fland, it vkould ever remain 4
a reproachful Record, of their Want of wisdom, hu
manity, and gratitude.
His Lordjbip l^fly pathetically lamented the unbap-
Pp profpea be saw opening from the operation of the 4
bill then before the House ; as, he said, be Was fully
convinced in bis own mind, that inflead of its reduc
ing the Americans to obedience, and to what was cal
led a ferfe of their duty, it would only draw them the
tighter in the bond of union among, fbemfdves, and
animate them to a more powerful refftance to govern
ment. He reprobated, as equally vindictive and im
praaicable, all ideas of carrying fire and sword
through such a trail of country as 1500 wiles, and
subjugating the numerous inhabitants of such an ex-.
ten Jive Jpace, Men, be said, who Were not dead to
every sense. of Liberty, would never tamely give up
fueb advantages, but would find endless resources oj
refftance, froy: their numbers^ their filiation, and,
above all, their oppreflions.
Seeing therefore, concluded bit Lordjbip, that this
bill, in every part of it, breathes notbihg but war, in
itssnof dreadful form, and mast necefdrilf rouse the
Americans to a, reffiance big with very great and
ferious.conferences, I fall most heartily and cordi
ally give my vote against the commitment of it.
