The -Bill for the Improvement of the Manufac-
tures and Revenue of the Isle' of ..Man Went through
.t Committee. The Report was ordered to be re,
czived to-morrow.

The House resolved itself into a Committee to
consider of the Impartation 'and Exportation ote
Conper.
. Mr.' VANS TrT4RT stated to the Coirrnittee
the objed which head in view in moving fir this
Committee, and the nature of the Resolutions which
he meant to inoVe in order to form the foundation
of a Bill which he wished to bring in. The objed of
the Resolutions and of the Bill would be to alio w''the
free impOrtation and exportation olCopper; but as in
time of war it would be obviousli impruAent to allow
the Ivc exportation of this article at least to the Coon.
tries of Europe, he wished to vest in His Myjesty a
power to prohibit its exportation to any Country
•in Europe, during war, by Proclamation, and order
of Council : but that the Proprietors or the Copper
Mines may be no sufferers by this last regulation,
he farther wished, that when such a Prohibitionof
the Exportation of Copper May take place, Copper
imported into this Kingdom, should be liable to
half the Duty now imposed on all Copper imported.
Having thus, stated his objed,-and the nature, of the
Resolutions which he 'intended to Move, he had only
to add, that the regulations of the' projeded Bill
would extend to Ireland as well as England, and
put the Copper Trade of the whole
.United,King:.
dons on an'equal footing. He thetimOved, " That
it is the opinion of tie Committee, that after a Cer,
tain periOd the freo. Importation,and Exportation of
Coppei' into and frOm the United,KingdoAs ought
to be permitted." This Rtsolution was' put and
agreed to., He .then moved, " That it is the opi.
nion of the Committee, that the present 'Danes
payable on Copper imported into, this I,:_ingdont do
cease and determine."

Mr. IVICIM.LS expressed ;fit-apprehension that
the cif ea of theie regulations would -tend so much
td lower the, price el Copper, as 10 cause many of
the mines in Cotifwall" to be shut up; and ilia,. to
'ruin. that part of the Country,
stets seriously=, to consider this businesJ, w, ich he
conceive' to be of the highest importahce, be;or-e,
they pushed it-farther,
Mr. GREGOR (Member for Cornw:01) acsnred
the Committee and -the Hon. Gentlenyn,, ti-.lt the
.proppsed regulations met with the lull approbiltion
of the Proprietors of the .mines in that County, and
that it would be' very beneficial tothetn:
The Resolution Was then. pit and itgreisd to.
Two other Resolutions were then. ;moved and
agreed to; conforinable to the generafobjed already
stated.
The Rrport of the Commirtee was ordered to be
received to-morrow., . .
The Other Orders of the Day were deferred.
