HOUSL OF COMMONS.
' Mr. Laurel] made a long speech, in which he considered the
nature, principies, and spirit of govemmcnt in general, and the
consiitution of this kingdon in pafljicttlhr; from which he conclu
ded, that whenever the tull} dcle ted by the people was unjustly
or oppreffively exerciscd by the Elcgates, then- the trust should
nntmjally ceate, and the power revert t_o in first source, the )cople
at. its e; that if this proposition was allowedsii: must alsiict ad
mittc , that Conventiona or Genml Assemblies of the people
were, in such easet, agreeabletothe ' itoftheconsiitution- and
he observed, that we had several in et in our history of, such
Asscmhlies; thzc' much good had-deen effected by them. and
much evil prevented; the: some of oth- bekPrincel hadsibeen rsiaised
to the throne, lnssd our worst King- sed', by mean: of I Bli
tish Congiess. He then made a monen to the followin 'pur
oft; " That the commiflioncn which are to he sent iy his

tion, whic he had had with Gentlemen o either side of _t.he
i House, he found they were, to a man, lnxiotu for a reconcilia
'tion with Amcrica: He was convinad that every ,day'o delay
made thi- reconcilinion more difficult; that the Congress seemed
ss to him the mostsispeedy. as well as the mofl: essectufl'medium by
which it' could be strained; And as he regrettcd eye? houlsi tlm
ip'zflsicd without an effort towards thin happy object, e wu de.
sirottl to adopt this, or ony'other, ordl propofiuans calculztedsito

Mr. Rice ex ed some regret, that he had not been soon
anon it in the ouse to hear the argument: by which .the motion
had :] inlroducch He wished for : hap 17 reconciliatiou as
much as any gentleman in the Hook, buctt And he was desirous,
if pdfflb'le, ("0 3qu main; with my self-mmd Assembly; and
he apprehended that our emc-n'ng into treat with theCongress
would ettablish in power, and lay the 'oundation los future
troubles. '
The question waz then called for, and the motion "jected.
without : division. * ..
The House then went into a committee. end voted a rewsr
ss fetche discovery of the north ealt pafsage; and also to any person,
; whether successful or not, who in the attempt should venture as
far as the North Pole. After which the Chailmmn made his re
