Loon Gor.vrtiLic said, that next to the union of all classes
Of the King's subjects in the defence of. the country, .the most
important interest he could figure to his own mind, was that of
preserving n good uoderstataling with the United States. He
did not understand that it was intended by the American Govern-
WO) to deny the validity of the right of searching merchant ves-
sels for seantenl if it was, he would say it was better to perish

of our maritime superiority, and with that our national inde-
pendence. The.N obi e Lord concluded w ith moving for an Address
