Right Hon. Friend wig Mt eoespletdy Mae tip.
he was engaged in looking for every information
on the inkjet%
General Gaseotcps,complimented the candour
and judgment of the Right Hon. Gentleman.
Mr. O'Haaa deprecated the idea that the ad-
vancement of In& commerce would militate
againa the interefts of England, as it muff rather
have a contrary tendency.
Mr. VANSIT*ART moved, as an amendment, that
this AR mould take effea from the tzth day of
May next.—Agreed to.
Sir j Sr. CLAIR ERSKINE fuggefted the pro-
priety of reducing the duty on hemp imported
for the benefit of the fail-cloth and cordage ma-
nufaitures ; and propofed an amendment to that
effea.

Mr. VANSITTAILT Milted that propofition, eon-I
tending that the cordage and fail-cloth manufaifto-
ry required no fuch ai&now, particularly when the
price of hemp was likely to be fo much reduced,
and when it was confidered that thefemanufaeures
bad the complete monopoly of the Britifh market.
With refpeoft to the flagnation of trade fo much
talked of yefterday, he maintained that'that report
was exceedingly exaggerated t and from a com-
parifon of our imports and exports for the quarter
ending January, 1792, and that ending January,
802,1ie 'hewed that the latter was confiderably
more and even beyond the quarter ending in Jan.
1799. The Hon. Gentleman added, that he had
no reafon to fuppofe that the Lift quar.er, when
made up, would be found inferior to that of Chriti-
mas lafi. On the whole, he had no hefitation to
alert, that the apprehenfions exprelled yefterday
on this (core, were entirely unfounded. The Hon.
Gentleman concluded with moving a claufe to ex-
empt from the tax on tonnage, 'hipping employed
in the Miry •on the Britifh coact, and not enter-
ing outwards for foreign parts.—Agreed to.

The Report was agreed to, and the bill was or-
dered to be read a third time to-morrow.

BULL BAITING.

Mr. DIET (aid, that in order to accomodate his
Right Hon. Friends, the prefent and late Secre-
lanes at War, he role to poftpone his Motion re-
lative to 8011-baiting.

Mr. WIN AM wifhed rather that this motion
fhonld be poßponed to Wechtefday, as he ( Mr. W.)
meant, if no other bnfinefs should interfere, to
bring forward on Monday a fubjeL eonnetfted with
the Definitive Treaty, which was likely to produce
Tome difeuffion. It was neeeffary, therefore, to
allow one intervening day as a breathing time, in
order that Gentlemen might be enabled to bring
the whole force of their minds and their undivided
attention to this important fnbjed of ball-baiting.
