As a large majority of the 1-rouse of CallilllUUS
reje&ed (he Resolutions proposed by Sir T. TURTON
last night, on the Carnatic Question, it is to be hoped
that the Marquis WELLESLEY, who has. deserved

so well of his Country for the,wisdom, promptness,
end efficacy of his condud the East, will now
be sufferei to direct his great talents to the servico
of his Country, unannoyed by future persecution.

• yesterday the Freedom of, the City of London,,
with a Sword o( 200 guineas value, some time
since voted by the Corporation of London to Admi-
ral. Sir J. T. DUBKWORTH, K. B. was presented tn.
that Officer, at Guildhall, by the CHAMBERLAIN,
in the presence of the LORD MAYOR, Mr. Alderman.
Sri Aw (in whose Mayoralty the Resolution passed),
Mr. Alderman BIRCH, &c. &c. The CHAMBERLAIN
delivered the following Speech on the occasion :
Sim JOHN THOMAS DUCN.WORTH,

I give you joy, and in the name of the Lord
Mayor, Aldermen,. and. Commons of the City of
Landoll, in Common Council assembled, return you
thanks; for, the zeal and alacrity with which you
pursued the French Fleet to the West Indies, but
more especially . for the skilful and gallant attack,
made on that Fleet off St. Domingo, which, in less
than two hours,.ended in the capture or destruction
of every Line-of-Battle Ship of the Enemy, and
adding one proof more, to the many already existr
ing,
,of the decided superiority of the British Navy .'
and in pursuance of another Resolution of the Court,
as a• testimony of the high sense the City of London
entertains of your gallant conduct, I have the honour
„to present to you this Sword.
" Sirohe Resolutions which I have the pleasure.
to carry into execution express soltilly the aktion
which they► are intended to celebrate, and the per-
sonal merit which they are meant to applaud, that
little more is left for me to add, than that the senti-
''ments of the Court are in petted unison with those
' Of the Country. Permit me, however, to observe, that
ptofessional merit never appears with greater lustre
than when attested. by professional men. I recoi-
led, Sir, wit!' a mixture of pain and pleasure, that
on the very day on which all that was great and
gallant in the nation were assembled to,pay the last
tribute of resped to the immortal NELSON, the news
reached this Country of your havitig, got sight of the
French Squadron. At that moment I was in a circle
of Naval Heroes, who were unanimous in their opi-
"Ilion, that it would be ,hardly possible fbr that
Squadron to escape the indefatigable perseverance
and distinguished gallantry of Str JOHN THOMAE
'DUCKWORTH. Accept, Sir, my warmest wishes,
that health and long life may attend you, and that
other opportunities may ptesent themselves to ena-
ble you to add fresh laurels to those which- so emi-
nently adorn your brow."
Sir JOHN DUCKWORTH made, the following re-
ply
a Mu. CHAMBERLAIN,

" -It is with thedeepest sense of acknowledgment.
and the most just appreciation of its value, that I
receive the distingnisho honour which has this day
been conferred upon me—an honour which, to the
latest moment of city life, will never be forgotten ;
and which, barer sure; wilLbe.equally dear to my
childrens' Children.
41 The repose of my country is assuredly my first
and dearest hope ; but if war must be the satfalter-
lotive, the next wish of my heart is, that the sword
which, has been presented to me by the first City of
my Country, and the most flourishing of the world,
may be drawn in my country's came.
I cannot' conclude, without endeavouring to
express to you; Sir, my warmest thanks fur the very
:handsome terms which you have used in fulfilling
the office which has been committed to you, and
which you have executed id a manner so highly
gratifying to tyiy feelings."
The- ceremony being concluded, the Company
Were entertained in an elegant manner by the Loan
Mior'eß, at the Mansion-howe.
The sword of the late Admiral. Lotits, was, a few
weeks since, presented, in the same way, to his son,
a young officer Of great promtse.

11112 TFIEAVRES.—The Wheel of Fortune was re-
presented last night at the HaymarketTheatre, and
Mr. YOUNG' performed the melancholy hero of: the
piece. This chataeter' was adapted So'exactly to the
cifralities of Mr. ICEmiLE, and was so well Supported
by him, that any giber- Performer must unavoidably
sutfer,by comparison ; but MIG Y6uNti• endeavoured
to throw an .original air over his representation,' and
in a great degree succeeded. He certainly exhibited ,
manly spirit, sound judgment; awl strong marks of
sensibility. • It is but justice to Mr. ient.maa, jun.
to say, that he has made a considerable improve-
ment in his profes6ioti. His arcing last night, in
Young nodville, displayed great energy and feelinil,
and the same qualities woe more conspicaous in las
representation of, Felix, in The !Linter of the dips;
which followed, the Comedy. \46 are couvinedd
that by study and application he may 'render himself
a very respet4able Atistor. , He may be sure of public
encouragement, on account of his father, who was
deservedly `a '*ery great favourite, .and Whose death
was such a loss to the, stage as it will not be au
easy matter to repair.

Of liberality w nor commercial policy, I main-
tained the general pi inciple, and approved of its ap-
plication to America'. For what reason did I object
eo.strongly as t did to the.continnal postpOnemet,:s
and procrastinations, atttl refereeces to future dist
cussions, and careless renewals of former articles
without examining their application or effeq WaA
it only that I' conceived that we had omitted siipula-
tions advantageous to Britain ?—Certainly not ; tie
postponement was generally in our. favour.. I tab,
jected to the indycisive corelud of our Ministers, be-
cause I' thought, with Mr. Monroe, that "-with a
view to perpetuate the friendship of the two nations,
no unnecessary cause. of collision should he left
• open ;" because. I was convinced that in this con-
dud we Were quieting't he sea with oil, and merely
forcing natore:into a temporin-V and deceit cut calm..
I repeat these observations, perhaps a little out of
place, in order to introdticc my remarks upon Mr.
_Baring's. patuphlet. In that work the imperianee
of cultivating a, good understanding with America,
and .of encouraging her commerce with our eoe-
mies, is enforced with. grtmat ability ; perhaps its fitais
and retiSonings May-have a 'Just weight in direding
opinions as to the policy of our maritime restridions,
as well ancient as of recent adoption ; but if I have
shewn. satisladorily, .as I conceive myself to have,
done, that the late
,Ministers did not succetstulli
cultivate that 'good understanding; and, if I have
shewn that those Ministers-retained 'enough of re-
sit-K.:Lion, to prove that the opinion upon which they
acted was directly contrary. to -.That of Mr. Baring ;
we -may' adopt every argument in his book, and still
retain an unfavourable; sense of the condud of his
friends,
apply these observations. more particularly to
the e/C.vent-A Article. It is true that Mr. Baring
mentioning; incidentally, this provision, speak,-; of
it to terms.,et approbation ; but his apprubation is so
qualified as to do aWay, the favourable effett of his
opinion ; .he states as a resist]
,for retaining so Muth
of 'the restriction as i retained, the necessity of
" maintaining the condud of One Administration
ev by their opponents." On the
.fallaey of this
defence (if, indeed,...it be not sufficiently obvious) I
shall observehereafter. .Meanwhil4 it will not be
difficult to colle6t from 'Boring's work-the de-
claration of opinions decidedly hostile to the 1.1 Lb
Article.
His r,onarks, indeed, upon the nature and appli-
cation of ihe role J 75 6, are so intirriately con-
netted with the obStßvations which I made upon it,
that I think it right to examine them in detail, be-
' fore I proceed-to apply to the stabled, as elucidated
by *Mr. Baring, the essential- rules of ievestigation.:
. As, in pursuing this detail, I natfit uuavoidably
consider the subject in various paints of. view,
must 1)..g you,carefelly to ,separate those which arise'
incidentally from such as bear inimediately upon the
main question—the merits of the 'Treaty. '
Mr. Bariog allows that, " on principles of general'
reasOtt, much,,may be said in favour of this iirrriita-'
' tion Of neutral trade, especially wjiere operating
materially on the result. i)f the war." ' " It is not;"
be says, " to the justice of the principles of•tlie rule
of 175(3 that I object." And "iwe still held fiat-dire&
trade between the colonies and the mother country
of the 'enemy prohibited ; this prohibition is indeed..
.s() consonant with common some, that it has sekloM
been disputed. Such a trade, wire it once establish-:
ed for neutral account, would have a tendency to
degenerate tiro fraud."
Such are Mr.".Baring's opinions upon the general
principles of the restrietion; but he objeds to die
conduct of Government in the application, -on time •
groutid, principally, that we have " uniformly
yielded it, and, indeed, tbrborne to claiM it.". And
that ," it is extremely 'unjust to bring' if forward
now,, merely becanse• the only remaining neutral
has a defenceless coMmerce.! The expression
now" cannot relate to the-present time, or to the
Treaty, because Mr. Baring occupies much time in
endeavouring fo prove, that what he conceives to
have been the new and rigorous assertion Of the
rule,, to,okplace in 1805 ; this argument can There-
fore have no force, unless we put quite out of the
question' as neutrals, Denmark, Prussia, time tfadirig
towns of the north. of Germany, and others). who,
in 1805, were not engaged .in war. But waving
this Consideration, it is surely obvious, that at no
time would the strict adherence. to the rule f‘ ope-
rate" so " materially on the result of the war," and
therefbre deserve " so much to be said in its fa-
your,' as *bet), England' being at war with all the
possessors of West India colonies, • a strict, prohibi-
I ;on of the export of their produce to Europe would
deprive her enemies altogether of colonial produce.

_circumstance -which wai
relied upon, was the landing o 1 the cargo in Ameri-

the principal, presumplive ground, that the' importei

-circoni,tancs had also considerable weight. The
goods.,being shipped by a purchaser in AineriCa, and
not by the original importer-their having rernainett
some time in "'America, or hating been athertised
for sale—the exportation not' being by the same ves-
sel in which they were imported—nor to the mother
country of ihe colony of which they. were the• pro
duce. TheSe several considerations .rem properly
contributed towards forming a correa opi.,ion of the
various cases, and although no one in particular was
absolutely conclusive, yet that first mentioned, of
landing ed vayructut of the duties in ilmerics, was
. generally considered so, ff not head dated by any
collateral circumstances of suspicion:7 :
Mr. Baring then quotes the tbliowinci judgment
of sit Nym. Scott, in the Case of. the Polly. Lasky.
" There remaitionry the question, ollaW which has
been raised); whether this is not such a trade as wjil
fall under the prihuiple t`hat. has been applied to the
interposition of neutrals in the
_colonial trade of the.
enemy ? on which it is said, that'il au Atnerican is
Da, allowed to Carry...on this trade directly, neither,
can he be allOved• to do it circuitously. An Ameri-
can has • undoubtedly a right to' iniport the pro-lace
-of the §panish colonies fur his own uS! ; and after it
is' imported bond Ale into his own country, he would
be at. liberty to carry them on to the general com-
merce'ot Europe. •Very differon would such a case
be from the Dutch case'S, in which- there was an
original contract from the beginning, and under a
special Diatcltlicenee, to go from Holland to Stlri-
n:lM, and.to return again to Holland With 3 cargo
of.coloilial produce. It is aot my business to say
`what is universally the test of a fond-fide importa-
tion : it is argued, it would not, be-gnificient that
the duties should be paid, and the cargo -should be
landed. If this criteria are not to' be resorted to;
should be at a loss jp k4law what should be the best;
and I am strongly disposed to hold that it would be-
sufficient that the goods should be landed and the
ditties paid. -
