TORTOLA FREE PORT RILL.
The House went into a Committee on the T.
tola Free Port Bill ; Mr. lictshou,e in the Chair.
Mr. VANSITTART moved a new clause, ern.
pnvering His Majesty to make certain regulation,
in the Privy Council.
On the question, that the same be made part of
the Bill,

Mr. ROSE objeSled to it, en the ground, that tle
Bill was altogether unnecessary ; that it could he oil
no possible advantage, but, on the con. r ir y, might be
injurious, by the admissicn of the Imi:caribou of
foreign sugars, as British, and would tend greAtly
to injure the Planters of Tortola.
In these obj.:Olons the Right Hon. Gentle:nu
was supported by Lord Castlereagh, Mr. Percival,
and Mr. Atkins.

Lord TEMPLE and Mr. VANSITTART con.
tended, en the contrary, that as you cannot prevent
foreign sugars from being imported into this cwt.-
try, it would he better we should have them antler
our own guards and restaietini,s, and have the be.
nefit of the commission, freigh, and carrying ; aad,
that so far from bting any irij,iry to the planters of
Tot tola, the Bill was nrought in on a Peti:ion to that
drat from those very Planters tlemselves.
Lord cAsTLif.REAGH and Mr ROSE insisted,
that the Petition could not be from the Planter,
but might, perhaps, be from certain smugglers in
that Island, whose interests were vety different Iron;
those of the Planters.
