COLONIAL INTERCOURSE WITH AMERICS.
Lord HOLLAND rose, to bring forwartl his
promised motion for some important information
on this subjet. He prefaced it with a very able
lend argumentative speech of considerable length
(of which, as well as the consequent debate, our
limits restrit us to a very brief sketch). He de-
scribed the proceedings which had taken place in
111611111111 of the British West India Islands, parti-
solarly in Jamaica, which induced him to think '
the present appeal to the wisdom of Parliament
honorary. 'I hey arose principally from the con.
eta of the Governors of those island:, with re-
gret to the discretionary power exercised by them,
relative to the commercial intercourse between the
islands, and the United States of America. He
alluded to the suspension of the Navigation Laws,
ill one point of *iew, but more especially to the re-
strilive power exercised by them, with respea to
the importation of American produce ; so necessary
fillr the sustenance of tEe islands, on the shipping of
that country. The line of condua to which he re-
ferred, either in a political or commercial point of
View, was of the most serious importance, and still
winre, as it affeaed the supply of the islands with
articles of the first necessity, as lumber and provi-
sions. The inhabitants of Jamaica, in particular,
felt it so strongly, that their Legislative Assemblies
made repeated representations to the Governor up-
on the subjea, who, in one of his answers, stated,
be could not permit the importation in neutral Into
toms, longer than a given period. With respea to
the quest:on, though, as affeaing the interests of
the islands, of great importance, was still of greater,
as it may aired the commercial intercourse and good
understanding, between this country and the United
Sous of America. He deprecated every thing
Vhs a narrow, seiriab, commercial policy, with r♦

laureate, sad manners. et very fortunately
them. Ole of his obis& in coming for.
ward was to give an opportunity to His Majesty's
Minions to disclaim any such notions or principles
as atuated their condos with respea to the restric-
Sloes on the trade and commercial intercourse be-
tween the West India Islands and America. It so
happened, and fortunately, he thought,that our West
India Islands could not be adequately supplied with
articles of the first necessity, except from the United
States. He thought this was eventually fortunate,
because the important consideration to which he ad-
verted would operate as an additional inducement
with the Government of this country to cultivate a
friendly understanding with America. He advert-
ed to some ineffeaual attempts which had been made
under former administrations to supply our West
India Islands from the British dominions in North

America. Adverting to the incalculable import-
ance of the American commerce to this coun-
try, he observed, that any attempts to exclude
America from the trade of our West India Is-
lands, would be worse than the conduit, as related
in antient fable, of the dog in the manger, whose de-
terminati-,n was comparatively wise and liberal.—
It would go to remind him of the fable of the two
petitioners to ./up4er, to whom the Godhead said,
that whatever he gave to the one, the other should
hare double ; then, said one, in a paroxysm of folly
and malignity, give me blindness in one eye, that
my neighbour may be blind in both eyes ? So
would it be metaphorically, did this country wish to
exclude America from our West India Trade, upon
the narrow principle of commercial jealousy. His
Lordship took a view of the policy and effeds
Pf the Navigation Aft, in its different bearings;
and argued, that the changes in the system of Eu-
rope, and the relative situation of this country, ren-
dered the policy of aOing upon it very different
from what it was at its first eniament. In war,
generally speaking, it was impraeticable. He wished
the affairs to which he adverted were placed on a
liberal footing and permanent basis; and it was im-
portant they would declare what line or system of
conduit they intended to adopt, respeSing the in-
tercourse between America and our West India co-
lonies, in time of war. Through the whole of his
speech, more especially towards the conclusion, the
Noble Lord expatiated upon the great national im-
portance, either in a political or commercial view, of
maintaining an amicable intercourse and a close con-
netition with America; and repeated, that one of his
principal objects incoming forward was to give Mi-
nisters an opportunity of disclaiming all notions of
narrow or selfish policy, with respect to the intcr-
cou:se in question ; a circumstance which woo; .1
give great satisfaCtion to all parties; mad with re-
gpeft to their intended system in future, he thought
they should be explicit. I tis Lordship concluded by
moving an Address to His Majesty, for the pro-
sluElion of the communication which rook place be-
- the Legislative Assemblies of Jamaica and
',este. Governor of that Island, touching the
between that colony assd the United

States of America, from the commencement of
the war with France, to the 21st of May last ;
also, for copies of the correspondence between His
Majesty's Secretary of State for the Colonial De-
partment, and the Governor of Jamaica, on the sub-
jeet, within the same interval; also, for various do.
cements. reap-Cling the quantities of ptovisions, &c.
imported from America and the isl.nd of Jamaica,
at certain given periods, distinguishing those im-
ported from British America, and those from the
United Slates of America."
The question being nut on the first motion ;
The Earl of CAMDEN, in allusion to what had
transpired on the sulsket nn a former evening, oh-
served, he had stated that no counter-orders had
been sent out to the governors. The orders which
were sent relative to the condiril of the governors,
respeeting the suhjed in question, were precisely to
the same effea as dyne sent nut for the same purpose
during the last war. By the A.ft of the 24th of the
Kine, he observed, all goods and commusiities were
proLibited from b •ing imported into the British
West India Islands from the United States of Ame-
rica, with the exception of certain articles, as pro-
visions and lumber, ie cases of necessity ; of these,
the respeetve governors were generally constituted
the judges. rhey were to ea upon their re.
spnnwhility with respee to the admission of these
articles, and hills of indemnity were passed, when
they had ailed contrary to the law. '1 he Noble
Earl adverted to ihe extensive nature of the inform-
ation called for —th- propriety of accompanying
thew documents with others which were necessary
f - the full ills aration of the subjea, and which, in
this very advanced period of the Session, it would
be impratticable to produce He, therefore, sub-
Mitted to the Noble Baron the propriety of with-
drawing his motion for the present ; or, in case he
persisted, he should think it his duty to move the
order of the day upon them
Lord HOLLAND shortly explained.
Lord HAWKESBURY's objeseions were not so
much against producing the required information,
as against producing that alone, which would give
a false prejudice upon the subjeet, and would by no
means put the House in full possession of the case.
Under that conviaion, Ministers would feel it their
duty also to move for a number of additional docu-
ments. With respee to what was said of the restric-
tions upon the trade in question, he had to observe
there were many representations made, from respect-
able and important quartets, of a direct contrary
tendency to those alluded to by the Noble Baron,
and reasons adduced, that Government, instead of
imposing unnecessary restriei• ns, were, in fait, too
indulgcnt, with respea to that part of the trade of
the United States, to the great detriment of the
British merchants; their Lordships would, there-
fore, see the propriety of the proposed additional do-
cuments. in order to afford Parliament and the pub-
lic an opportunity to decide and judge thoroughly of
the merits of the question. He admitted the sub)eft
was r re which any Noble Lord might fairly bring
before Parliament, but the advanced period of the
Session rendered the prodneion of the necessary do-
cuments impra&icable. He was, therefore, of opi-
nion with his Noble Friend, it would be preferable
to postpone the discussion to another Session, when
all the information proper to be laid before Parlia-
ment could be produced. With respea to the line
of conduit intended to be pursued by His Majesty's
Government,, relative to the subjee in question, it
would be regulated by their conviaions of the true
interests and thank:ter of the country, and a due re.
sped for the principles of the Navigation Laws.
With respect to what was said of their views, in re-
gard to the trade of America, they would be r
laced by no sentiment contrary to those just and N.
beral principles of commercial policy, so well under
stood in the present day ; upon principles, founded
not only upon the true interest of their own country.
but even with a proper regard to the interest and
prosperity of America herself,
Earl STANHOPE contended that Ministers had
not been sufficiently explicit, particularly with re-
spea to their intended condua during recess. In-
stead of giving a plain answer to the queries of his
Noble Friend, the Secretary of State answered only
by generalities. His Lordship then spoke in sup-
port of some of his Noble Friend's leading argu-
ments, with respect to the great importance of a
good understanding hetweea America and- this
country, whose example the latter ought to follow,
with respea to her line of internal and external
policy.
The Duke of MONTROSE replied, with con-
siderable spirit, to many of the positions advanced
by the Noble Earl who spoke last, whose warmth
of expression, he supposed, might arise from die
warmth of the present season—a period in which he
rnerally thought proper to attend his duty in that
H otse. He contended that his Noble Friends had
been sufficiently explicit; the orders given, they
stated, had been the same as during the last war ;
and the line of condua would be persevered in.
He conceived that every country had a right to re-
gulate the trade of its own colonies, and that no
other state could properly complain of it. With
respell to the Noble Earl's panegyrics upon Ame-
rica, he understood a certain Noble Earl had lately
disposed of his property, and gone to that country :
perhaps if the Noble Karl opposite to him would
follow the example, he might, after a short residence
in that country, return home in a better humour
with his own !

The Earl of LIMERICK was of opinion. the
auswets given by Ministers were explicit ; and ad-
verted to the consideration, how far too great an
indulgence, with resped to the trade of America,
would operate injuriously upon the trade of Ireland
with our West India Colonies.

The Earl of SUFFOLK spoke in support of
some of the positions of his Noble Friends, Lords
Holland and Stanhope.
Lord ilawkw4avav, the E. 411 of CAM Der, and
the Duke of MONIRUSL, spoke severally in expla-
nation.

Fad STANIIOPr.. in explanation. said it was
the duty of a person in his situation, to watch over
the interests and concerns of his country at home;
and not to leave it. because he might be out of
humour. at the misconduCt of weak, inefficient, and
incapable Ministers.
The Lark of DA Amur and CAILTSIONT spoke
shortly in support of the leashing arguments of No-
ble Lords on that side of the House.
Lord if A RROWSY briedy vindicated the con-
dual of Ministers on the subjed in question ; and he

deemed them aufficientl) explicit in their declara-
tions.
Lord HOLLAND spoke in reply, and contended
that Ministers had not been explicit; their declarations
were There generalities ; in allusion to what was said
of the emigration of *Noble Earl (Selkirk) to America,
he referred to his late work upon the subjed, which
he regarded as full of useful information, and vindi-
dicated the motives whic'i induced that Noble Lord
to gn to the country in question. He warmly repre-
hended the idea of Noble Lords being to!J,when they
openly and freely declared their opinions of the mis-
condua or incxpai:itv of Ministers, that they should
leave their country if they did not like it. No, it was
the duty, as his Noble Friend well observed, of per-
sons in their situation, to stay in their country, watch
over its interests, endeavour to r,•scne it from de-
struaion. and to abide i.s fate. Such was the duty
of Members of that House, and they who aA.erted
otherwise knew little of the duties of Legislature.
The Duke of MON MOSE said a few words, in
consequence of what fell film Noble Lords opposite;
he would not be dictated to, as to the line of debate
or observation he should pursue. He would adopt
that which he thought most likely t conduce to
his objets ; it was not his praflice to rebuke others,
neither would he be rebuked.
The question being loudly called for, a division
took place. For the motion, is--Against it, 1&
Majority
The Earl of WESTMORELAND moved, that
there be laid before the House, copies of all Petitions
and memorials presented to His Majesty's Govern-
ment, on the part of the Duke of Athol, in the
year 1802—and that the second reading of the Bill,
granting an annuity to John Duke of Athol, be fixed
for Monday next, and that the Lords be summoned
on the occasion.--Ordered. Adjourned.
HOUSE OF COMMONS.
Counsel (Mr. Alla sa) and evidence were heard
on Moore and Gardner's Divorce Bills, by which
the marriages and adulteries were proved, as also
the judgment obtained in the Court of King's Bench;
but no order was made upon them.
A message from the Lords announced that they
had agreed to the three Exchequer Bills, the isle
of Man Duty, and several private Bills.

IMPEACHMENT OF LORD MELVILLE.
Mr. WHITBREAD brought up the Report of
the Committee appointed to inspeiFt the Lords'
Journals in respell to their proceedings on the
charges adduced agai ;.tucl Viscount Melville ;
which was ordered to lie on the table.

1 le next brought up the Report of the Committee
appointed to draw up the A.. 1.9 of Impeachment,
voted by the House, against Lord Viscount Mel-
ville; which being shortly read pro forma, he stated,
that when he moved a Resolution in the House
that the Noble Lt-rd should be impeached, he was
prepared with the Articles whichhe proposed. He then
considered the balances lost, in the case of Mr. lel-
lime, to be of serious importance ; but as that opi-
nion did nut seem to meet with the general concur-
rence of the House, the Committee had thought
(roper to limit it. The Charges, which he first in-
tended to canfine to three heads, now consisted of
Eight Articles, in which there was only one which
was absolutely new, and not included in their former
Resolutions. .1t the time Mr. Trotter was ap-
pointed Paymaster of the Navy, it appeared that
Viscount Melville was in possession of a balance of,
10,0001. which had not since been satisfaftorily ac•.
counted for. There was another charge, arising out
of the admission of Viscount Melville on the flour
of that House, when he was making his defence,
that he had been possessed of 10,0001. Navy money,
the application of which, he declared that he never
would disclose to any human being. The Com-
mittee, therefore, agreed to make that the ground
of a specific article. Besides these, there were
the sums of 72,0001. advanced to Viscount Mel-
ville, without interest ; 22,0001. also. for which
it appeared that interest had been paid; and from
10,0001. to 20,0001. which went to what was called
between them the mixed account, and which, hi-
therto. was altogether inexplicable He thought it
right that this explanation should, in the extent, be
given to the House ; and moved, in the first place,
"that the report do lie on the table, and be printed for
the use of the House;" which being agreed to, he
moved, in order to give Gentlemen time to examine
the articles of charge after their being printed." that
the report be taken into consideration on Monday
nest."—Ordered.
The Irish Revenue Regulation Bill was reported,
and ordered to he read a third time to-mot row.

On the third reading of the Bill to indemnify all
persons for the evidence they may give on till im-
peachment of Lord Melville ;
Mr. WHITBREAD said, that, as Mr. Trotter
must necessariiy be a very material evidence in this
case, on account of the many trans.saious which
were only known between him and Lord Melville,
he had a clause to move, for making his exoneration
more comprehensive than was first intended. Se-
veral great and eminent lawyers, he said. held the
opinion, that, notwithstanding any civil process
against him, Mr. Trotter could not refuse, but
may be compelled to answer any questions that may
be demanded of him, on a criminal prosecution.
Butt, as there were other lawyers, of considerable
authority. who maintained a contrary opinion, he
wished to obviate any difficulty that stay occur—
and. in doing so, he made no doubt of being vir-
ported by an Hon. Gentleman opposite him (Mr
R. Dundas, son of Lord Melville), who had 'hew,
a snoderation and temper, throw;hout the whole of
these proceedings, which entitled him to his re-
sped, and to every consideration from the Howe.
The clause he had to propose was as follows; " That
any evidence which Mr. Trotter might have given
before the Committee of the House of Common,,
or may here-after give in the impeachment against
Lord Viscount Melville, should not be brought
against him in any civil suit instituted by the Attor-
ney-General, by order of this 1 louse."
Sir W. ELFORD did not think that the claose
proposed was sufficient for its object. It could not re-
lieve Mr. Trotter from all embarrassment in the de-

livery of his testimony ; for though it would prevent
its being brought as evidence against him in a civil
process, it might make a very unfavourable impres-
sion on the minis of some of those who might have
afterwards to decide upon his condu4l as a Jury.

Mr. C. W. VYNNE in favour of a total

BITRROUGHS was of the same opinion.
He recommended, that the record of the civil pro-

that the further consideration of the Bill be deferred
till to-morrow.
Sir W. ELFORD said, that in case of the Mo-
tion being withdrawn, He should to morrow move,
that the civil process against Mr. Trotter be with-
drawn.
After a few observations from Mr. Wu sin.
maul:, the Motion was withdrawn, and the furtbe:
consideration of the bill postponed till to.rootiow.
Mr. HUSKISSON moved that a message be
sent to the Lords, to acquaint them that their re-
quest to communicate tbe reasons and ev;der.ce on
which a sum of mane, was voted, in compen.ation
to the Duke of Athol, was contrary to the praaice
of Pailiament, and that the House deems that a
