GRENADA.

Mr. Lunen:Grow faid, that in confequence of
the time being elapfed, according to the Order of,
the Houfe, for the receiving of Private Petitions,
the Proprietors of Land, in the Eland of Grenada,
who, from their ditiance, had been unavoidably
precluded from making their application fooner to
Parliament, had now in(kruaed him to offer to the
Houfe a Petition, praying for leave to prefent their
Petition *for aid, the fame as if fuck Order had
not been made. Mr. Lnfltington then proceeded
to Rate the cafe, as contained in th: Petition of
there Grenada Proprietors • that In March 1799,
an infurreltion and rebellion h.td broken out an
the Ifland, in concert with the common enemy;
that the eft& had been ruinous beyond all ex-
ample. He reminded the Houfe, that in, 1779,
Grenada had been cuptured by the French, under
Count D'Ellaing, but when yielded back to Great
flritian, at the peace, the French inhabitants, who
weie numerous. had been futrered tti retain their
property. In 1779, the !Hand had been captured
by a couccvt between dick French'lnhabitants and
the enemy. After the Peace, the Proptictors had
been called upon to expend a confiderable fum of
money in ereEting and repairing Fortifications, and'
that they had expreffed their vAUingpers fo to do,'
provided a fufficient Garrifon was kept up in them,.
as the French Inhabitants of the Wand were not
to be trolled : That though application to this el-
left was made to the Governor, a confiderable
time elapfed without their having affurance to this
effea ; that although a letter was received from
the late Lord Sydney, when Secretary of State, af.
luring them of the determination of his Majeßy's
Government to provide a in ffi c ient garrifon of from I
Soo to moo men, in confequence of which the
Affembly of Grenada chearfully voted the fum of
aoo,oool. for the fortification of the Maud; but
that when the infurreetion broke out, there were
only about tso men in garrifon, the remainder of
the regular force having been previoutly wanred,
owing to exifting circumftances, clfewhere. The
Prayer of the Petitioners Rated, that the Proprie-
tors had materially fuffered by the infurreelion—
that this calamity was greatly owing to the want
of a proper garrifon at the time, but that there
was no imputation that this was owing to any fault
of Government. Under there eircumaances, he
trolled, the Right Hon. Gentleman who was en.
trotted with his Majetly's pleafure, would not
withhold his concurrence to the bringing up of
the Petition. The Petition having been brought
up, and read at the Table,
Mr. LUSHINGTON next moved, "That leave be
given to prefent a Petition for the Purpofes above-
mentioned."

The Cusptcreeos of the Excu'litysa hid, he
was empowered to give his Majefty's Recommen-
dation folely for the pu. pole thf affording the parties
concerned, an opportunity of laying their cafe be.
fore Parliament ; farther than this he could not
pledge himfelf, as he declared. that he ha net
as yet formed an opinion upon the &Wed. The
Petition being brought up,
Mr. Lusuiticrom next gave notice, that We
fhould move to-morrow, " That the Houfe refolve
itfelf into a Committee. for the purpofe of inquiring
