ships that would arise from the execution of this
clause, which would subjea neutrals, having ever so
small a quantity of the goods described on board, to
be sent to the Purt of London, and, after a short
conversation, the CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER
assured the Hooourable Member; that he would
consider whether' a clanse might not be so framed

case it might be added to the Bid upon' the Report.
A lung conversation ensued on the mmute details
of the Bill.
,Many amendments were proposed, and:
a few adopted. The Report was ordered to be re-

General GASCOINE stated, that this day a Petition
had been put into his hand from his Contituents
against some of the clauses in this Bill. From the
lateness of the hour he was unwilling to present the
Petition now. He therefore gave notice that he
would present it to-morrow.

express .a determined opinion till he should have
heard the Petition, •or the nature of it stated.. If

received.

Gen. Giticor N E deprecated the anticipation of the
Petition. It did not apply to the money clauses;
though he was free to own, that from one person of
high authority; whom he had consulted, be had
learned that it could not be received.

on pure public grounds.
