STATESSiAN.

Mr. WHITBREAD said, if the ling.. Member
bad been present at On Meeting,. be coeW iseffe.
given a more correct account of the business**, j
that which itifpeared hs what is denominated oneof1
the Ministerial Papers. He had a cordial recep,
then from- the Meeting, which had his noratefut
thanks. He understood, in Isis absence, the lion.,
and Learned Gentleman observed, that
.he was
made tvilecoy.duck of the party, in being asked
to that entertainment. Ile would not dispute the
question of talents with that Learned Gentleman ;
but hedid not think so humbly of himself, that
while he was represented u a duck, his could
consider the Learned Gentleman a swan by com-
parison ; but according to the classification or
birds, he thought him something between both.
Ile then conte►►ded at some length that the Petition
ought to he received.

PEIWEVAL contended on the contrary,
awl remarked that the arguments used by the ilo.
nourable Member were precisely the same that
hu used when thu Middlesex Petition was pre-
sented.

Mr. W. SMITH observed, that the proceedings
of Sir F. Bartlett had been objected to, and not
his arguments ; as this Petition then simply av,
proved of th►►se arguments, he did out see why it
should he rejected.
Mr. YORKE strongly opposed the reception
of the Petition.

Mr. W. WYNN F: was also against its reception.'
Mr. WIHTBIt KA D explained. .

The Noble Lord then addressed the House on
the subject and na!ttre of his motion ; he W 35 aware
that it would be opposed by the Rt. Him. Omit.
opposite% and by the Heads of the Admiralty.
lie entered into a variety of statements, illustra.
tine of the present situation of British and Fo.
reign Trade. In the course of the three last years
our home trade was decreased, as the numbers SI
to. 17, or one.twentieth, and a little more an.
onally, and this, notwithstanding the communi:
cation with Spain being opened. The mariners of
the Continent had increased in the same period from
.23 to .29,000. In the British trade the tonnage
has fai!ett 6'37 to 25, or ottes(hird. The foreign
trade has increased from 417,000 to 560,000 tons.
Our imports and exports are equal to the Inward
forapt tannage alone. All these evils did not re.
suit from the machinatiims of Bonaparte, but
from.our bad councils. He was of opinion, that
if hatf of the force of the Kingdom was properly
employed, the war *would be concluded in twelve
months. Ile thought that no Minister should
rescind the revenue arising to the Crown from
war; but if the Broils of the Admiralty and of
the Crown were continued% they ought to be sp.
plied to the 111111)0SO of the State, and not of cur.
ruption. He adverted to the Bill now in the
House for securing to the Chancellor of the Ex.
chetiteer and his brother the olTtee of Registrar of
the AdMiralty ; he was far however from attribut.
ing- any improper motive to this. lie did not
deem it either very satisfactory or nseful, that of
the one thousand vessels now floating on the
ocean, the Admiralty should be acquainted with
the situation of each ; a stimulus was unneeCliary
to call forth the spirit of the Navy, laythe
thought that prizes AllOlll4 be justly and hottestly.
appropriated ; if this system was once estibltilie4,
the contmeree of the coast of Franco would soon
cease. Having stated these preliminaries, he SOW
should enter into a detailed ptonf transactions,
similar to which had been seldom brought before
the House. lie first read the order of reprisals,
authorizing the capture of the ships of the euesty,
and subjecting those who neglected so tai dd 'to
costs in damages in the Court of Admitalty. fie
wished the House to he acquainted with the hature
of the office of the K ing's Prochir : if any cause
of complaint exists against him it is only by him
that complaint can .be made to the, Judge.''The
NOble Lord then read a number of, Acts totem.

Ho concluded' by .moving the following
resolutions Resolved that the officers and,
seamen of the Navy aro entitled to the support.
and encouragement of this House. 2d, That it
appears front an Order of Council, in the reign
of Queen Anne,. 1708, that the captor of ships
bad leave to go into Court, and • were elloweet•
Itheir own Counsel. 3d, It, appears that this was.
superseded March 29, 1779, and that: the King's
Proctor was entrusted with the management of all.
4th, That it is, essentially requisite for the inte-
rests of the Navy that the-captors should come
into Court, and employ such Advocates as
they should think proper. sth, That leave should
be given to bring in a Bill for regulating the pro-
,
ceetlings of the Court of Admiralty. • •
The Resolutions were opposed by Sir John Niehollend Mr.
Stephen I the latter Gentleman proposing as an amendment—
an opiuitio of the House directly contrary to any ides, of re-
gulating the High Cooriof Admiralty, tohero Le than it was
at present.
Lord COCIIRANE shortly replied to the arguments ad-
daceJ noises' him, and it division took place; Ayes 6—Noes 76.
On our return into the Gallery, we Sproul Mr. W. WYNNE
making his promised motion relative to the Report of the

Mr. BROUGHAM rose for the purpose of deferring his

that day receiredlih..mortifyiug iufonaation, that no less than
six slave ships bad beets recentib titled out from one port. Oa
