and. his lion; Eriend..liad.“Ated.it as ;Voile, lent out

. •
which lva 4%0 nvr heaa,cfloni:hiM without. regret,
particnlarly,as'the.-stateMttnt, was made by One of
„so much general co:redness of jodginent. ,q great
i part Of the argument ,of his Hon.. Friend - went to
' under-ye the value' of the object, . for Which' this
f aid was given to' the Trade of Grenada and St.
Vincent's, and he had suggested thit it was em-
, ployed...io
.a-,different way from that which was
professed to have been 'the object of it; that it
had been, employed -, on the subject of the Slave
Trade, of' cultivation. for 'extending that traffic.
Now, 'Mr. AurtrwoToN said, he hoped, let the
sentiments of that .House•be' what they might on
the Slave Trade, it had not made up its mind to do
' any 'thing that was,unfaiourahle to the, prosperity of
any-of our, ,West India Colonies. Did his Honotir.
able Friend not recoiled. That every hogshead of
Sugar, and • every puncheon of Rum, and every.
other article of the produce of our West India Co.
!obits was'materill to .us, as it tended to sustain the
1 Public Credit of. this Country, by contributing its
share in defraying our Expenditure ? Did his Ho.
novelle Friend not recoiled, and feel how much
the' West India Trade in geneial contributed to
the maintenance of the MaritiMe Strength;of this
Country) He 'was persuaded, that his Honourable
Friend would upon refleaion feel the,
,weight of
these observations, and he was confident that the
House would-not suffer any considerations, even of
Humanity,. to mix.with the consideration of policy
to which he, had adverted, as it might be supposed
to bear on the measure now before the House ; and
in this he , was confident he should have the
conctirretice. of. his Hotiouralikc Friend, for he
was confident it was possible for many who wished
for the Abolition of the Slave Trade, to attach the
highest importance to our West India Colonies and,
Trade; but his Hon. Friend ,stated the danger
which might arise froM Gds eriftrienvlending money
to persons over whOm itiftight afterwards have an
influence.—Coold this. beiieriotislY ,stated in the
House of Commons ?—Was this is Loan from Go.
vernment to Individuals ?—.4\10 ; It was'an aid given
by Parliament to a particular partof Trade conned.
ed with the I'Oblic. Interest of the State, • The sum
.was :voted; not by Governriient, but by the House
of Comlons, „to , Individuals ',not conneaticr with
Government, to be distributed, and security taken
for the re.payment of it, not 'by Government, but
by persons appointed 'for that office by Parliament ;
so that -his Hon.. Friend's apprehension in that re
sped was unfounded. His Hon. Friend lad also
observed, that ,Government ought to know whether
•the money already advanced under this. Bill had-been
properly applied or not, Whether some of the par.
ties had not made use of it for the purpose of ex. •
tending the 'Cultivation of other Lands besides
those ' that were in a state of Cultivation,, at
the time wheri this Bill was first introduced t- To
this the answer was, that it 'was the ,duty of the
Commissioners appointed toad under the 'authority
of the Bill, to•see that the aid of Parliainent should
not be.improperly.applied ; emd'he did not think it
woOld.he proper to apply it td the purposes of . ex..
tended Cultivation ;,.but, as to the •security, of _re.
paymcnt of the money granted tinder the authority
of this legislative measure„ he could assure his Hon.'
Friend, that GovernMent had taken great pains to
ascertain whether the parties were able to discharge
the engagements they entered into on receiVingthis
. aid, and they were, a.: they ought to bo, rattily
satisfied with the result of That inquiry, Which. was
made by CoMmissioners acting under the authority
of that Rouse. But it appeared also, from equal.
authority, that the individitak tii,sv horn the accorn.
mOdation Was.granted, could not, without incurring
more than inconvenience, discharge their engage.
menu in the present year. ' What , then. was now
asked ? Not a renewal .of aid, but a continuance
of indulgence, from the last Session of Parliament
for one year longer. ' 'What was the •proposition in,
regard to the
.indulgenet already granted ? That
zoo,pool. out of the remaining sum Should be. dis. •
charged in the COurSe 'of one year; 'and the tame
stun in the following, year, .so that the' whole will .
bc discharged in, three years frOm. the present time.
It Was to be recolleded that one-third was dii.
charged already, together with an 'interest, nor to.
call it:lucrative, but a 'limited 'interest of 5 per
Cent. and it the House would refer ;o the.pitee of
Sugara at the time thii indulgence was first' granted,
and tothe price of it for the-lito twO yettrsl..c4y )
would see clearly the ground Qn which that indul.
gence was granted. ,'Elie House had already aded
on the ground that extraordinary indulgence. ought
to • he. shewn, and in .so doing th 4 FlouSehad pro-.
ceeded with caution. In the present Session of .
Parliament, a bounty had been granted oft the ex.
par ration of Sugar, iivConsequence of: the low price, '
occasioned by' a glut in the market at home, from.,
the arrival of large cargoes from the West ,undies.
Under these. circumstances those who suffered in'
this respea,- did so more than formerly,' and. they
stated:to thelloiase all the circumstingei„ by whiclt-'•
it appeared, that by an ordinary price 'of Sugar,
they -will be able to. pay off- 20490001. ' iiithe pre.
bent .yearf:atid a.similar sum .in each 'of 'thesuc.
seeding years, so' that in three years. the whole of '
the engagement of these3ivons, with the Public,
will be fulfilled ;• aod,theAnestipti now was, Wile.,
ther the House WoUld,,contintirs)the measure which'
had been already adopted for ao.,many years withsh .1
much advantage, or would „corittad.its disposition,.
arid aubjed these Gentlemen, and .all the property,
perhaps, of -Tatitaica, to something more .than in.
entivenienee. He thought with his' Hon Friend, i
that this was an occasion which
scalltd for the 1
vigilance of thei House ; not of its, jeiticnNy, .., but
its' attention, for there was, nothing ii, inipeti, but
much to encourage ; and on a view of all the sir. •

• sii;'••/?,OI;ER7' PEEL .said,` he was relieved
froM a considerable anxiety by what the House had
just-heard from the. Minister; for it was a cubjeei
that itere.,sted 4irn greatly, and he did conceive it
to he.,? subjea, which if distussetf by meo compe_
. tent.to that discussion, would appear in proportion
'as it was discussed, important and interesting, not
' merely to the West Indies, and to' ersons concerned
in that trade, but to the people at'large of the coin-
munit}i in whi6-we live, and even the great, landed
interest of this, not less than any other class Of per..
sons ; 4,weekkerefore vta- this principle thathe de_
fended and supported the 'Measure now before the
House. Whargave rise to•this Loan ?,lie did not
call it a Grant,--Was it an unwise' and an impru-
dent Speculation of a set of men who had no interest
in the w.elfare of, this Country,
.with whom' this
measure originated ? No ;—had it not been. made
appear that it was a measure of the wisest policy, to
proted kr pi-Operty in the West Indies, at. a time
when, without it, .perlidps; it would- have been
questionable, whether Government itself could
have done so. —There Was no blame attached to
Government in consequence of that ' state of
things • at that time in the West Indies, it
arose from circumstances WhiCh were unavoidable.
He Spoke with perfect independence upon this sob-
jeEt.; forlie, did not so much. as knew the Gentle-
men who solicited the assistance of Parliament.—
They applied for pecuniary aid from the House, not
to incur any expellee to this Country, but merely
. for aid Until their, oven affairs shoUld come round ;
and .in the granting of w hich the greatest advantage
might he derived to the Trade of. the West Indies,
which was so material to the whole of this Empire..
He w:l3 not only well convinced. of the'proprlety
of this application to ParliaMent, bat he was also
surprised very much they did'not come forward with
'claims' Of 4 (finch stronger nature; that they did
' not -apPIY to be reimbursed some losses which they.
sustained in consequence of a certain pressure which
came on them.—The claim they brought forward '
was in his opinion moderate, nor was it an appeal to
the humanity of the Legislature, or to the feelings of
individuals, but an application-eo„-slie..gond sense
and the justice of those who were .best.acquaieted
with the true end enlarged interests-of-this Coon.
try. Thelegislature saw it in that light, arxi,afford.
etiossittitie*likkthe persons who made the apPlica-
tiortyirilvhiolsikhad gted wisely, 'for he had ever

In

consumed here or • in, 'any'other parr. of .the globe;
it
.was enough fot; him that' it constituted part -of
the strength, osindeed it did. the eioew,,which was
the marine strength of this country ;. for. ir was
,iinpossifife not to know that' our. Ships 'of War. de.
-rived Much -of. their vigour.trom-thie trade ; and
those who
,cOneeived that the Landed Interest' of
this. CoOtitry Was.-not iritirtiatelst conndled With.
this interest, were bur , superficial politicians. • One ..-
,would have imagined from some things throwns.out '
in the coarseof diSethsing this measure, that Go,

.had been flippant-in lending this money,

did it the greatestcredit, and.bi 'Which they remoy-
H ed a very considerable embarrassment, not only from
Grenada and St. Vincent's, but from thii Country ii... 1
self, which must have been tiltimatelY affeffed if this:
Measure had not , been adopted. The measure had
hitherto been attended by the best etreas, 'sod by
no inconveniences; but if the Hon.Gentleinen (Mr.
WII:BERFOiCO-E), 'l:iy"the exertion of his talents,
should impress' the House with an idea that this
measure woven improper one, he would do an ad
of great mischief, because he Would do an injury
to the trade and manufefture of this Country; for
indeed they' derived great support from the trade
which this Bill was calculated to protect ; and ,he
should be very sorry locked to see, any Ministersjn
thisiSemiLipattentive to these consideratioot.
He .conceived Measure' Calcutated for the io.

that was the strongest reason upon earth- why -it
should be assisted, in -time of need by the strong

without our aid, then they-had a double claim—.

In.whatever light he considered - this measure, it'

Dab,. 44WR.ENCE said, he had nothearci any

thing to convince him that Our Support to the N'VeSt
' India trade would be. injurious 'to this country.
A Loan had been granted
.from time to time ; it.
was.a principle that had been part' upon with great ,
benefit to this nation; and he considered it the duty
of OnverninenCto proteEt the.. West India trade. 'lf
we were to

whet would of the:natives a numerous body .
'of persons who were now etuploye:l to prepare close

.of our trade ? The islands would be•in a dreadful
state of coefution and misery, and. every tie in. na.
