IMPORTATION OF WOOL.

Lord TEMPLE moved fort leave to bring in a Bill
to permit the IMOOrtatiOn of: Wool 'from America.
On, the WIOn for:its first reading,
Mr. HARRISON entertained obje&ions to this
measure, which he conceived likely to injure the
landed interest, but he would reserve the full state-
ment of thew objedtions to a future
.stage. In the
mean time he hoped that some regulations should
be introdueed into it, that might , render it less ex-
ceptionable. It struck him that if the unlimited
importation of Wool' were permitted, the' effea
would, be "to discourage the growth of that arti-
cle at home, by placing the landed interest at
the discretion of the manufaaurers, who would,
upon a surplus, in consequence of the importa-
tion, be at liberty to offer any price they :pleas-
ed. The importation at , present allowed. proceed-
ed from a wish to obtain the fine'wool of Spain
to mix with our own. But we had no want of
the coarse wool of America. Indeed he could pot
conceive nhy reason for this Bill. We' had no scar-
city Of wool whatever, and therefore the,Bill was,

on the fao of it, unnecessary, and he much feared
it effects would'he injuriours. •

Lord TEMPLE called to the recolleetion ,of the
House, that the importation of Wool from the
United States, of America was alr;.•ady permitted, and'
the only objeE of this Bill was +to.grant to our own
Colonies the same advantage. It-was his intention
'to propose, that the Bill should be printed, and al-
low full time for its examination, in order that no
alarm should arise from a misunderstanding of its
provisions,. - If it should appear deSirable to limit the
continuanCe of the Bill, he should offer no objection
to such a proposal ; and, if hereafter, it should be
found disadvantageous in its, operation, sits repeal'
would naturally follow.
HARR/SONrecommended every encourage-
meat to the groWth of wool, upon the same prin-
ciple that the Legislature encouraged the groWth of
corn. • He advised the introduaion of .a Clause into
this Bill, imposing a smail duty on the wool imported,
as the best means of ascertaining that which was
very desirable, namely; the quantity of the importa-
tfon.—The Motion Was agreed to.
The Marine Mutiny Bill was reported; and or-1
dered to be read .a, third time to-morrow.

Lord TEMPLE brought in a BIM to permit the im-
portation sof Corn and other articles to our Fo.
reign Garrisons.. Read a first, and ordered to be
read a: second time. •

The Foretii SOldiers'
.Enlistment and Indemnity
Bill was eoMM4ted.

:In anwdr to a question from Mr. Huskisson, the
Secretary at War stated that the number "of the Fo-:
reign Troops in our service 'was before settled at
10,000, they now amounted to 13,000, and hy this
Bill it was. proposed to extend them to 16,000.
The House resumed,' and the Report was ordered
to be brought up to-morrow. •
The House in a. Committee—the Chairman was
dire&ed to move for leave to bring in a Bill to en-
able His Al'ajeSty to permit -the importation of cer-
tain Goods into Rhode Harbour, in the Island of
Tortola, for a time to be limited.—The House re-
sumed, and the Report was ordered to be brought
uptO-morrow.. • _

In a Committee of Supply, Resolutions were
adopted, and on the Motion of Mr. Vansittart, that
Provision should be made for the Adjutants and
Subalterns of the English Militia during Peace ; also
for the Pay and Clothing of the Militia of Ireland,
with a Provision for.the Adjutants, &c. during Peace,
&c.—Report to-morrow.

LONDON,

THURSDAY, MARCH 6, 1806,

'A
Letter is said to have been received by a Mer-
cantile House of great repe6tability in the City, froth
America, stating, that War had been declared by
the United States against. Spain.—We are very much
inclined to doubt the accuracy of this intelligence,
because although the last New York Papers which
we received spoke of a rupture'with Spain as by no
means improbable ; yet we do not think the Ame-
rican Government would plunge so precipitately into
a War with that Power, at a time when they are
engaged in such a serious discussion With Great.
Britain.

The Gottenbnrgh Mail which "arrived yesterday
did not contain . any intelligence ; but private
icounis state, that Prussia and Denmark have posi.;
tively refused to comply with the repeated and press-
ing applications of BONAPARTE to them to shut theit
Ports against Great Britain.

YESTERDAY Mr. TROTTER • was committed, by
order of the House of Commons, to the custody of
