Lord TEMPLE rofe, purfuant to notice, and
moved for the appointment of a Committee to confider
of the Rate of the woollen manufalturers of England.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEIVER
took cccafion to remark on the necellity whie.h.exill-
ed fox loch a Committee as that propofed. For three
years the fufpenfion law had been ens led without in
any degree tending to remove or abate the evil com-
plained of. A furpenfion law buck him to be ge-
nerally exceptionable, but when applied to evils
which it held ont no profped of curing it was peat.
liarly unconflitutional and mifchievous t nails of tech
a return as thefe to which the propofed Committee
was to dited its enquiry ought not to be temparis
ed with. They lhoulelbe met boldly ; and when the
Committee (Mould brfbg up its Report, he nutted
that the Houle would determine to face it with firm-
nefi, and refolve to put an end to an evil which had
Co long kept the country in a Rate of irritation—the
iotereft of the employers, the employed, and the
country. Bearing that confideration confiantly in
mind, he had no doubt the Committee would, he
hoped they would, make fuch a report as would am.
ble the Houle to take a full view of the queltion, and
to come to a fatisfaeory decifion.
Mr. LASCELLES Rated the evil alluded to by
the Noble Lord, and which it was the objed of the
propofed Committee to come, did not originate in
the fisfpenbon law ; bin that, on_the contrary. this
law was rendered Decd.:try by the ezißence, and cal.
etilated to refrain the operation of this evil. The
fad was, that a number of Ratutes alined which
were quite inapplicable to the prefeat Rate of the
woollen mannfadures. Yet upon thefts oblolete Ra.
Lutes feveral profecutions had been commenced ;
and to guard againd the effeOs of loch profecutions
the fufpenfion law was introduced. Such was the oh.
jcO of this law, and it bad aofwered the end in view.
Bot Bill be felt that it could ferve only as a tempo-
rary expeient, until, as in this inftance, it was de-
termined fully to inveftigate the fubjed, and to de-
cide what laws mould continue in force, or whether
any new laws fboold be enaded with regard to the
date of the woollen manufadore.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
in explanation obferved, that delufive hopes had been
excited by the frequency of Sufpenfion Ads, which
hopes had been throughout the country fedolonfly
encouraged by mifchievous perfons.
The Committee was appointed, and the feveral
petition: from the manufafturers of Gloucefterthire.
Yor kffiire, Lancalhire, dtc. with refpeO to this qua
tion, were referred to the laid Committee.
Mr. LASCELLES recommended, that the Com-
mittee thould be invelled with a power to report their
opinion as to what Ratutes ought to be repealed, con-
tinued, or enafted, upon the fubjed referred to their
conGderation.

With this recommendation Lord Temple concur-
red ; and accordingly, upon the fuggeilion of the
Speaker it was ordered, that the Committee "fhould
have power to report their obfervations and opinions
thereupon." 0

lUDS Or 1110fRALS WITH INDIA.

Alderman PRINBEP laid, that the object of his
prefent motion was, to enable the Houfe to perceive
that proportion which the commerce of neutrals with
India bore to our own: Our fettlements in the Eall
had been purchafed, and were held, at a great ex-
' pence of blood and tteaftwe ; it was therefore of inv.
penance to know what proportion of their commerce
was diverted into other cnannels. and contributed
little or nothing to the profperity of.this country.--.
The document for which he fhould move. difclofed
the alarming fad, that the commerce of neutrals was
to that of the Eall India Company in tde proportion
of three to one. He was far from wifhing foreigners
to be excluded from the trade of India; filch a meafure
would be highly impolitic ; fince, without the en-
couragement afforded by the neutral trade. the ma-
nufaftures of India would languifh. and our tertito-
r;al revenues be chntinifhed. The rums fent out from
neutral nations were great, and, without the encou-
' ragement given by their commerce to the manufac-
tures of India, great part of the raw materials would
be 1011. Thus the tot titorial revenues of the Com-
pany were, in a great degree, fupported by the fo-
reign trade, and this country is eventually benefited
Still, however, it was to be lamented, that while
neutrals were allowed a flee retort to our ports in
India. our own co irate merchants were In much
excluded ; and thus a great part of the trade with
lotlia diverted to a fOttign channel, from the want
of a free competiti.m. The neutral trade, from
one port alone, employed treble the number 14 (hips
to thof: of the Eati India Company, and much ex-
ceeded the trade of the latter. In ISo', twenty-fix
American Mips cleared out from the port of Calcutta
alone In iSoc, twenty-nine American, ten Porte-
guele, and two Danifh (hips, cleared out from the
fame port. This would give tome idea of the magni-
tude of the foreign trade. It would alto appear from
the document for which he fhould move, that on fix
articles alone, there was exported from Calcutta to
the value of nearly three millions, esclufive of what

was exported by the Company. it would alto apps
that the bullion impot ted by neutrals for four years 4
amounted, on an average, to nineteen millions of
dollars. But the paper for which he &mild move,
fully expofed the extent of this traffic, and he walled
it to he laid on the table, that it might draw the at-
tention of the Houfe, and of Government, which
alone could interfere with rife& in applying a re.
tuedy. In bringing forward this motion, the Hon.
Member profeffed that he had no concert with any
individual, nor any connedion with thofe engaged
in the private trade with India. The only objeftion
which he could conceive to his motion, arofe from this,
that it might be fuppofed to reveal the eircunsflance.
of the private trade with India. But this was already
done in the monthly journals of that country, in
which all the departures and arrivals of flips were
noticed. He then moved, that there be prefented
to the Houfe, lifts of Chips under neutral flags which
have cleared out from Calcutta, Madras, Bombay,
Swat, and Columba, fince the year tfloo, together
with an account of their tonnage and cargoes, asfar
as can be aCcertained ; and alto lifts of all Britilh
(hips not chartered, which have cleared oat from the
fame ports for London, during the linnet WAIN'. •
Mr. FRANCIS role to fay, that he had no previ-
ous knowledge of the prefent motion—but he begged i
to Rate fume remacks which had occurred to him
from the ob(ervations he had heard. It appeared
that the quantity of fpecie annually imported into
India was immenfe, and yet he was informed that
there was no (peck in circulation in Bengal. Every
payment of the Government was made in paper.—
, This was a problem wftch it teemed difficult to ex-
plain, and he hoped that an Honourable DireOor,
wirons be few in his place, would favoUr the 'Houk
with fume realm for it. He would alto Mk, from
what countries does this fpecie come ? Is it not in
great part fupplied by Britifts traders, nnder foreign
Rags ? Betides, on what principle were private traders
In this country excluded from a traffic which the
merchants of Europe and America enjoy to fuch an
extent ? Where alto, he would aftc, were the cargoes
of there neutrals for the moll part fold ? He Mk&
ed that they were moftly difpofed of, ice the Britifis
dominions and dependencies.
Mr. CHARLES GRANT entered into an expla•
nation of the trade which was carried on by foreign.
ere with India. This trade it was neither our inure&
nor in oar power to put an end to. From the Ire.
quent viers in which we were engaged, neutrals were
enabled to carry on this commerce at lefs expence,
and with more (ecurity than we can do. Hence, it
was not difficult to account for the faeces with which
they conduit it. With regard to the queftion, what
became of the bullion exported to India, it was to be
obferved, that there was no great circulation of fpe•
cie in the principal towns on the ; but in the in-
terior of the waft regions which were under our con-
trail, all commercial intercourfe was ,carried on its
fpecie. With regard to the countries where the neu-
tral cargoes were difpofed of, it was too certain that
our Weft India Colonies were fupplied by the Arne-.
ricans—but no blame could attach to the EaR India
Company on this account. He objefted to the pro-
dultiou of the papers moved for by the Honourable
Alderman, as containing infulated and untonneeed
ftatements. There weresnow only (even years to run of
the Company's charter, and before that period (hould
elapfe, the important queftion, whether the trade of
India &meld be laid open ? mull be directed. Every
important document would then be laid before the
Hook. and the matter would not be decided on
partial evidence.
Mr. FRANCIS explained.
Mr. BROGDEN fupported the motion, and pro-
poled that fuch additional accounts (hoot" be order-
ed, as might give a complete view of all the exports
from our poffeffions in the EaR, whether by our-
(elves, or by neutrals.
Mr. Secretary FOX Paid, that he felt very confider-
able doubts whether it would be proper to produce
papers which would only give a partial view of the
fubje6, and which might lead the Houfe to a prema.
to e and ill founded determination.. To form a
complete judgment of the queftion to which the Ho
nourable Gentleman wined to dire& their attention,
it would certainly be neceffary to move for the pro-
duftion of friend other papers. He (hould with to
give every confidence to the ftatements of the Esti
India Direaors, but from the (mall information he
had himfelf upon thofe fobjees, he could not fee that
any good could refult from the produflion of thole
papers which were moved for, nor any immediate
remedy which could be propofed in confequence of
any information which they might contain. There
was another coofideratinn of great importance which
fuch a queftion would involve ; namely, the Carry-
ing Trade. and the intercourfe between the United
States of America, and the EMI- and Well Indies.—
Every body knew that this was a fub)ea of a very
delicate nature, and that reprefentations had been
made from the United States of America, with re.
fpeft to thefe topics. Thole reprefentatinns were
now under the moll ferious confideration of his Ma-
jelly's Government. It was the duty of thole who
condueled thefe negociations, to colleft the billet
information on the fubjetl. and he &mild fubmit it
to the Houk, whether it might nut be 'roiled to
Minifters, both on the part of the country and the
EaR India Company, to cone& all the information
that was neceffary on thofe points. For thole rea-
lons, although no man could feel more difpofed, in
general, to grant every information which any confi-
derable number of Members of that Houk Ibould
defire, yet he thought that, in the prefent intlance,
the produflion of the papers moved for, would nut be
of any fervice, and might be injurious.
• Mr. PRINSEP, in explanation, Paid, that what he
had writhed was, that confiderable importations
might be made of raw materials from India, in (hips
cheaply built; he thought we thould fend them back
their materials in a manufattured Rate. He had not
meant to follow up hie motion with any refulutinty
hut had only wifhed to put the Houk in poffeffion
of what he thought important information. He,
however, bowed to the high authority of the Hon.
Secretary, and ()mold withdraw hi. motion.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
moved the Order of the Day. It was always the
with of his Majefly's Ministers to give every fpecies
of information which could lead to any objeCt• or
practical conclulion. • It would, however, evidently
appear impropir, that there fh ,old be any dikuffion
in that Hook, upon points of fo much delicacy, and
which were now the objcas of important difcuffions

'I

Nowhere. But as there could not, with proptiety,
be Any difctiffion in that Houfe upon thole points.
he thought it would be the bell way of getting rid
of the motion by proceeding to the other Orders of
the Day.
Lord CASTLEREAGH was of opinion, that a
commercial quellion of fuch magnitude and impor-
tance to the interefts of India, and of this Country,
Ihould not be brought before the Houle on any par-
tial flatement. If the quellion were to be examined
by the Houle, it thould be on much more general
grounds. The principal reafun. however, which
made him concur with the Noble Lord who moved
the Order of the Day was, that he. mull molt feri.
' puny deprecate any difeufGoas in this Houfe, which
might at all influence, or prejudice, the difeuffien
upon thole points which were now the fubjed of ne•
Fociations carrying on by his Majeay's Mininers.—
rhere would be no rife in the produdion of thufe
papers if no difeufGon was intended, as it was in the
power of any individual Member to get the informa-
tion that thole papers would convey, either from one
of the Dircdors, or any perfon connected with the
Eaft India Company. 'frk hopeethis Majefly's Mi-

The Honourable Gentleman mentioned, that, in
the cnurfe of the prefent year, there would be a dimi.
notion of expence in this department, to the amount
of t 30,0001.
Mr. POLE thought it necelfary for him to make a
ftwobfervat ions,in confequence of the enimates which
bad been prefen• ed. Th. Houfe•would perceive, that
there was only a d fference of yoool. between chore
eftirnates (which he entirely approved of), and the
climate which 'had been • propoled by the former
B 'ard. The arrangements and reduitions which had
been propofed, were owing to the great vigilance and
attention of Lotd Chatham's Atiminittrag ion of that
department. He thought, that the prefent Board
fhould, in jutlice to the late Board, confirm the Site.
saint he then mach.

Mr. CALCRAFr Paid, that as it was on Monday
th .t he intended to prefe,nt the eftimates to the
Hnufe, he had referred, until that day, the obfee.
vations that he thought necelTary on the fubjed. As
to the eflimate being neatly the fame as what was
prepared by the late board, there was nothing flit.
prifing in that. They ould not pretend to &lion-
Colic the works carrying on for the public defence,
or to make any material reduCtion or change in the
fyllem of the Ordnance, at leaft without the fallen
and molt mature conlideration. At the fame time
that he was called upon for this explanation, he did
not mean to (peak at all flightingly of the late Board,
or to deny that (as far as he could then judge) they
were entitled to credit for their vigilance or attention
to that department.
The feveral refolutions were then put and agreed to.

Mr. VANSITTART, in a Committee of Supply,
prnpofed refolutions tor the payment of certain Ex-
chequer Bills now outßending, without meaning
then to point out the particular mode by.which they
ware to be difeharged. The Exchequer Bills to be
paid off were, fira, Exchequer Bills for the fum of
8,000,0001. which had been for feveral years part
annually replaced by the iffue of frail Exchequer
Bills. The fecond clefs which he propofed to pay,
were to the amount of two millions and a half voted
for the fervice of the year 1804. The third daft was
for a million and a half, which were iffued in t 798,
and renewed annually fince that time. He concluded
by propofing refolutions for the payment of thole
Exchequer Bills. The refolutions were agreed to.
