in itself, as it would evince a conciliating disposition
from which he augured the most favourable result.
What, however, he had to press upon their particular
consideration was, the discordancy between this Bill
and the Bill now before the other House, for giving
effect to the Orders in Council. The 37th of the
King, which this Bill professed to continue, would
be violated most materially by the new imposts pro-
posed. There was, in violation of the Treaty, to be
imposed ah addition of 24 per cent. on tobacco, and
about 40 per cent. on rice exported. Wine, brandy,
&c. exported to America, would also be liable to a
heavy duty, though by the Treaty she was to enjoy
the same exemptions as our own Colonies. The duty
of 2s. per ton on vessels brought in under the Orders
in Council, and the compelling American vessels
bound from Europe to the East-Indies to go into the
East-India Dock, weft also at variance with the sti-
pulations of the Treaty, and of course with the pro-
visions of the present Bill. The whole of the in-
tention of Government on this subject seemed to be
still involved in mystery, and he could not but regret
that his motion for taking it into consideration in a
Committee had not been agreed to.
Lord fla I'IIURST stated; that there would be found
no inconsistency in the proceedings alluded to. The
American Intercourse Act, passed last Session,
would expire on the Ist of March. The Bill now
before their Lordships did no more, in effect, than
to prevent that Act from expiring before the other
measures in their progress in the other House had re-
ceived the sanction of the Legislature ; and as it
contained clause admitting of alteration, amend-
ment, or repeal, in the present Session, the difficulties
stated by the Noble Lerd would be easily removed.
With regard to the merits of the Bills in the other
House, it would be time enough to discuss them
when they were regularly before their Lordships.
The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered
to be committed to-morrow.—Adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
Colonel STANLEY presented a Petition for Peace from Old-
ham in Lancashire.—Ordered to lie on the Table.
Mr. WHITBREAD observed, that a Resolution had been pas-
sed the other night, upon which a Bill was to be founded, to pre-
vent the exportation of Peruvian Bark. If he had been in the
House at the time he should have resisted the passing of that Re-
solution. He now begged the Right Honourable Gentleman op.
posite (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) to inform him when the
Bill was likely to be introduced ; at the same time he thought it
right to state, that he should most decidedly oppose a measure
which went to carry into effect that most detestable species of
warfare.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the Bill
would most probably be introduced-to-morrow (this day.)
