who had given a notice on the subject, would bring
it forward without delay. With regard to the first
paper moved for, the Memorial from Heligoland, he
thought the publication of it would be attended with
very serious hiconvenienee, and notwithstanding what.
bad been said, he felt it to be his Lndispensible duty
to resist it. Whether it were true or not, that no

means pursuing the CQUIIe that should have been for.

of the former, There indisputably was room for a
great deal of fraud, and it would be well worth his,
or any other merchant's while, to purchase licences
for the imputation of spirits at an expense of

fore, whether it were more or less connected with
1 the Orders in Council, it was clear that such an ad-
! vantage as that noticed, might, at any time, under
such circurnitaaces, be derived: It was not insi.
nuated that the Board of Trade, in a single instance,
had been actuated biariy.irliproper motive to faroar
particular individuals, and le this instance the li:
cences in question were less open to any animadver-
sion upon such a itrikiug fact than they would hare
been at any other period. With respect to the
question before the House, it ;could be remarked,
that the Honourable Gentleman who introsluced it,
I brought it forward m if tee whole trade of the t;iiiiii-
' try was, and could ally he, conducted by means of
I licences. From what he (the Chancellor of the Et.
1 chequer) knew of the proceedings of the Board of
Trade from daily communications, be could assert,
that there was not a siogle instance of a licence being
granted. for a trade which► could be carried. on without
it; awl thus the whole question which the Hon.
i Geutlemisi(M6 Brougham), in his threatened mo.
tion, Nit otild.kui te,discnss, would be then whether,
winder the circumstances, involved as we are in war
with a large portion of the world, it Is (kr is not desi.
liable that any trade should be carried on.with such
countries as arc undei the dc;ennion of the erielny ? If
l indeed, the whole benefit resulting from commerce-was
I tee be put into the bends of foreigners, as some
Gentlemen seemed to wish, the, licensing., system
should be discontinued; but as long as any man was
willing that our own merchants should derive their
, share, it ought to be persisted tn. Notwithstand-
!-ing, therefore, the authority of the greatest mer..
: chant in the kingdom, or perhaps in the world, the
House would observe that they halt been much misled,
since the only principle on which Government acted,
was to secure to the natives of England that trade
by means of Licences, the profits of which wittiest
them would devolve to the hands of aliens. Who,
he said that the Board of Trade had granted ad
Licence, to countries where inteicoural could. be
