- S KY, PRESF.NTATION,
Mr. CANNING, §lli,d;that bad aecidentally
not been.in the House whep the Report of the
Addiesi had bem presented, he was obliged to
trespass on the time of the Honse., for a Tew'mi-
mites, in order to correct a misrepresentation,
which had gone abroad relatlie toll part of what
he had said the night before. .He was the more
anxious tc,. correct it, because he thought that
Such misrepresentation of what bad 'been said,
even.by so hunihie an individualas himself, tnit-ht
,produce very bad consequences. He bad been
made.to say, that the conquest of Canada by the
Americans would not have been disagreeable to
Some of those persons who called theinselves our
friendS in Canuda. Instead of which he had said,
that the Conquest of that province would not have
been diangreeable to many of those who called
'themselves our. friends in firneiica
COPPER' EXPORTATION. BILL.
• 11r. Wa4wro.N broil ht op the Report of this

GRENrELLBiII.
. thought that the prohibition, o
the exportation' of manufactured Copper to: Antes,
rica (which was the object of the Bill), was a Inca.
sure highly. impolitic. It would oblige the Arne
ricans to make use of the copper which they could
procure .from South America, and which they
woulifinarinfacture themselves. Nay, for the
manufacture of that article had actually bean
erected in America.
Mr. G, Itosa-asked the Honourable Gentleman
who had'• spoke hist, whether mills actually „Were
erecting for rolling copper in AnteriCa ? Being
-answered. in the affirmative, he then said •tlrat it
the Americans could get r..ny quantity of copper
from South Ameriea, and could manufacture it
themielves, he could not understand .Why the ex.-
portation of .that article from hence sfiould be emir,
tinued,,nor why it could be' thought to
prevent it.
Mr. BARING spoke against the ill. It was, he
thought, had policy to al.istain from sap Plying the.
Americans with manofactared copper, because they
used it for naval purposes. ' • •
Me, RbaiNsoll observed, that .tlicßill did not
reqnire an unciinditional prohibition 'of the. ex-
portation of copper, bora prohibition under par-
ticular circunistapc.ps. Ile cenid 'not agree with
the Hon. Cknt..(Mr. B.) in thinking that it was
inipolitic to prevent the exportation of naval attires
to ap enemy.
Mr. WurrBILL: AD thought it was *cry injudiei-
ous to attempt to cripple an enemy, by preventing
the exportation of articles which that enemy might
use for naval or military purposes. ',This was.
proved by the result of several attempts of - that
kind, which had been made against France.,
COuld it be, fdr one moment, thought that Ame-
rica would end to Sea one. single frigate less, he 7,
cause the exportation of topper from this COLITI~
try vas prevented? , If the Privy Council shoUld
once stop the exportation of coliper from
country to America, they would do it for ever, be;-
cause she would learn to supply herself trout other
quarters.
The Hon. Wm. DoNnAs could not 'understand
Ichy -Great Btitain should Supply America with
What she wanted to hasten the equipment of fri-
gates-to tight agahut this country. The delay of
evetv a few months would tic advantagtOus to -this:
country, The. Bill, before the House world oblige
of copper for
the'Atnericans to wait for ft supply
their ships until they could -procure it• trona the
tardy opera.tionS -01,,their doubtful wills.
