HOUSE OF L0110:-.Tonsav,Iwr 14.

Tito Earls of Portsmouth. Chariemont, and Chet-
tertirid, took the oaths and their seats.
In the cause. May v. Wharton, Mr. Weatherall
win heard in behalf of the Appellant —Further con-
sideration was fixed for next Friday.
Sir Samuel Homilly, and a Deputation front the
Conimons, brought up the Tr.:Acts' Assets Bill,
Lnrd Powerscourt's Compensation Bill, and a num-
ber of Private sills.

On the motion of Lord WALSINGHAM, they
were respeelively read a Er st time.
A desultory conversation then took place, in con.
roue:ice of an observation from the Duke of NOR-
WOLK, that he conceived it rather too advanced a
period of the Session to send up Bills to the House,
involving in their miture objeas of much important
an I esteii,i Ye tel.; elation.
The LORI) CHANCELLOR coincided in the
saggestion of the Nr.hle Duke, and particularly
to the manner in which the Traders' Assets
Bi:i wee thrown upon the table, without any Peer in
the I souse to further It :n its respeaive stages. or to
is-'nee their I,ordaltips a view of its objeas and
intended operation.
Lord HARKOWBY said, such a praaice seemed
to convey the opinion, that the House of Lords was
only a chamber to register the edits of the Com-
mons.

Lord HOLLAND declared his intention of over-
looking the consideration of that Bill, as he was
to the principle upon which it was founded;
he theirfore moved it should be priated.—Ordered.

The House resolved itsell into a COmmittee on the
A nic ncan Trade Indemnity Bill. when it was moved
1. d HOLLAND. "That a different preamble
st., o'.l be teed to this BJ1." His Lordship then
read a very burg preamble, which diitinely referred
to the provisions of the Navigation AO. to the
Toun se and Poundage MI, the Bill of Rights,
end the Treaty pith the United States of Ame-
rica. immediately subsequent to the termination of
the American War. His motion was rejeeed with-
out a division. the Report was brought op. and
the Bill ordered to be read a third time to-morrow.

Ltd BA'l HURST moved the third reading of
the American Commercial Regulation Bill.
Lord HOLLAND contrasted the conduct pur-
sued by the Noble Peers, who now thought it their
duty to oppose His Majesty's Ministers, with the
line of ad• pted by tbeni, when at side of
the house. burred of waiting for information, or a
fii,al settlement of our differences with America,
the present men. when out of power, carried on a
harassing and restless opposition. Every moment
they ',ought for fresh documents. and enJeavoured
to dims& where they ought to have assisted. His
&licit in rising was not to oppose the present bill ;
an the contrary, it had his fullest acquiescence ; but
at the same time he wished to impress upon the
Woos and the country, the expediency of culti-
vating a good und•rstanding with the United States
of America. hiaver, perhaps' were two countries
better situated to afford to each other mutual ad-
eact!ga. The common inarcoome of Commer-
cial Nations generally tended to their re-
spetiive interests ; but those of trsee Country
and America were re4nrairely pre-eminent.—
The Noble Lord expatiated upon the rising
krosperity and wealth of the United States. and con-
teadieted that assertion which he had beard repeated
in foreign countries, under arbitrary Governments.
that t/ e Republica:Constitution could not long con-
tinue amongst such an extensive and accumulating
population. He would not say that such a commu-
nity of interests should exist hetweso America and
Great Britain, as would involve the former power
in offensive and detragive alliances; but lie still
contented, that the true path to greatness,
which both nitinos ought to follow, was, the
most liberal confidence and friendship with each
other. He crud not conclude without adverting
to the consistency of those men, who, now in offii.r.
have resorted to that very measure. which, out cf
4 fEce cached their hnsti!ity and attack.
Ear% BATHURST defended the /wenn* Admi-
nistration' from the charge of inconsistency. /Isere
was a great dirrererce in opposing a measure, for-
merly, tinder certain circumstances, and continuing
that nu—sition, when the Bill had in she internal
beer ailed upt.n, and the circumstances bad in 'a
grew: grog changed. The policy of the present

_
. -'

Givormnent was not to me Idle ith the condua of
the late Administration if to Arno ica ; every thing
was .left in the issue stye, until the final result
should be ascertained : b it by so aging. Ministers
were under no pledge of continuing them when the
necessary information wis obtained. liad
lets acted otherwise, the; might have indulged a
political spleen at the h 'rani of the country's la-
Wrests. and would hav • re►embled an opposition
rather than a Governm•nr. _ _

The Earl of LAUD DA LE fot ebly reviewed
the condua of the present men when in oppactit n.
There was exhibited by them a great apparent di,-
play of disinterested patrioti,m, an I,srentaii ns
%hew of confidence in the talents of the then ‘linis-
try, whilst at the same time every paltry device
and underhand expedient was resorted to, to pro•
mute intrigue and propagate calumny. Instead of
a broad, open, and manly system of opposition,
fully understood, and boldly acted upon, nothing
was to be observed amongst them hut puny eva-
dens of their public penfe‘sions, and nu•an insinua-
tions, of what they had not the courage before the
country to pronounce. Indeed, to be considered as
conneeted with that Opposition, he should teel him-
self to be dishonoured.

Lord MULGRAVE, in pointed terms retorted
upon the statement of the Noble Earl. He first
trusted that the Noble Earl and his friends would
continue to la upon the bold plan of opposition,
whieli he had recommended, and he was sure there
was no MISS of apprehension for the present Go-
vernment. With respea to the refleaioas which
the Noble Earl had thrown upon himself and his
colleagues, he had only to remark, that it was not
the judgment or approbation of that Noble Earl,
or the various descriptions of his acquaintance, that
they sought. No; they wished their condua to be
examined and decided upon, by the patriotism, the
loyalty, the good sense of the nation, and they felt
no fears as to th- result.

Lords HOLLAND, LAUDERDALE, and
MULG R A VE, explained.
The LORD CHANCELLOR having left the
Woolsack. observed, that it was not his intention to
follow the Noble Lords into the extraneous and ir-
regular discussion which had been carried on.—
Whether his condui, when in or out of office, was
correA or incorreift. consistent or inconsistent, he
would not then argue ; but rt this he was con-
vinced, that there was no opposition to the late
Administration, until that Administration began to
oppose each other.
fhe Bill was then read a third time and passed.
After the di.posal of same private business, the
House adjourned.
