• The ATTORNEY-GENERAL laid. that the
. motion which he then role to make, was one in which
,honsanity ;lid found policy were united. It seas to
' prevent to much of the trade as concerned the ins-
, . portation of Aftican Negroes by Britifh dips into.
AR colonies conquered or ceded to us in the war, or-
, into the colonies of any neutral State in the Well
, ,Ingljes. At prefent eveiy State that had Colonies in
\ , . America, or tbe Welt Indies, and that were not afilual.
.Iy.absearotrith us, availed Well of the opportunity of
• Britifts dipping to carry on the trade. Even in time

- (us their colonies by Britith fubjells and by Writ&
.capital. although in a more indirect manner. The
orwoifts hands of St. Croix and 'St. Thomas formed
depots in the. Well Indies, from which our enemies
. could be rupplied with as many Negroes as they
.wanted. and which were now brought there princh,

ennfidetid, that there colonies were not only the-
• loortes of their prolpetity, but that they were alto
' the foundation of their maritime flrength and power,
it would appear contrary to found policy that We
ibould.afford them the means of rivalling oar collo-
,
Dies, and of attaining a high degree of commer-
dlial. trolperity. The poffieffion of St. Dirtnisisto alone
.was, sn this point of view, of incalculable yalue to:
(Yrooce before the Revolution. It employed.to
a p-
vdigiOus dumber of dips, and fiormed a number oft

444;111.4014 had already, by his proclamation, dated
Illat 1011-PRA illoa, laid down certain limitations 1
, ihir iltp.re,fpeti. It was evidently againft the policy'
etablo,qountry, that great importations of Oces
,
Ahouli take place in fettlements which per pe
mien. be refired at the conclufiort of peace. He
therefore moved for leave to bring. in a bill, to carry
,Into effee his" Majetly's proclamation of the tith of"
11' '
Anguilolhoa, for preventing the importation of Afri-
,
I aan Negroes by bit& Subjects or Britifh [hipping,
into the colonies conquered by, or ceded to us m
the entitle of the war.
The SPEAKER fuggeßed to the Right Hon.
,Gentleman. that, in point of form, it was necefary
that • copy of that proclamation &cold be firtt laid
before the Hood.
Mr. FOX teemed to confider. that a proclama.
*inn of his Majefty in Council might be taken notice
of by the Houk without a copy.
Mr. PERCIVAL did, that -this was a proclama-
tion not binding on all his Majelly's fubjeas, and,
therefore, it could not be taken notice of by the
Houle, Wes a copy were laid before them. He
• fuggelled to the Learned Gentleman, that it would
be the better way to withdraw his motion for the pre-
fent, and move for " an humble addrefs to his Mo.
jetty, praying, that he would be gracioufly pleated
to order a copy of the did Coder of Council to be
laid before the Houfe."
'the ATTORNEY GENERAL agreed in this
fuggellion, and gave notice, that he fbould to-mor-
row move for a Copy of the Order in Council.
General TARLETON hoped the Right Hon.
Gentleman who propofed this meafare,' would at
leaf allow fufficient time to the merchants of this
country to invettigate the fnbjed. It was certainly
a matter of very great confequence.
Sir WM. YOUNG observed, that in Tome of the
iflands taken, particulary at Tobago, there could
hardly be (aid to be a Frenchman. Inftead of capi
tulation, it was with exultation that they law them-
Oyes placed under the Britifh Government.
Mr. Alderman PRINSEP thought the Right Hon.
and Learned Gentleman had not made himfelf fuffi-
cietttly matter of the fubjeft. As to the power of
:egiflating for the colonies that were ceded, as long
as they &mold continue in our poffellion, it was a
right, which, generally (peaking, was not rettrieed
by any capitulation.
The ATTORNEY GENERAL faid, that it was
his intention to bring in hi, Bill as foon as poffible,
that it might be read once before the reed's, which
be thought would meet the ideas of an Hon. Gentle-
Pfau (General Tarleton), and give fufficient time
fur the confideration rf the fithjee.
WAYS •ND MEANS.

into further confideration the Report of the Commit-
tee of Ways and Means,
Mr. FRANCIS, who fat on the Oppofition fide
of the Houle, began by adverting to that citrons-
fiance, and declared he felt himfelf more at his cafe
on that fide of the Houle : he had been to long oc-
cult dto fit at the left hand of the Speaker. that
he felt no defire to change his fituation.—(4 laugh.) I
