Harrison contended, ottshe ether hand. that Mr Warren was

who merely petition, d nt Commissioners, and who were Officers
appointed V!, the Crown : that the Bill was a public Bill found-

was perferiiy competent fur the Legislature to place sewers

This opinion was also held by the Lord Chancellor, the Earl
of Vanderdale, and the Earl of Liverpool, all of whom concur-

This was agreed to, and the Rouse haiing'resumed,

ference of opinion there might be as to the

lord HOLLAND declined, at *the present mo- !
Meld, arid on so short a-notice, entering into the corn-'
'plicatecl details-which the present situation of Earope I'
involved, but he' felt be should not discharm his
~
duty it he did not state (and that opinion he' Meant'
to record), that a great :opportinitY bad Presented .

Peace, or of preying the -rejection by the. etiamy of

vented; him front making the exertions he hail glade

minalion of the last eampauge,asid they hadao Woe-
tnation`whatever of. any effort
.having bees made,
either for tie attainment of Peace, or in the failure
of effecting that upon fair and honourable terms, for
a vigorous proseeution of the war. Had propositions i
been offered, sudh as were consistent to the honour
and character of the country,* the time of the re- :
i turn of the Emperor of the French to Paris, from, his 1
disastrous campaign in Russia, could there be a doubt t
I
1 that either Peace must have been the result, or. that 1
it would have been rendered manifest to the people 1
of France, that the war only continued in conse-1
t.euencti of the ambitious projects of their Emperor; .1.
1 and mdst not this conviction have prevented him from
Imaking those astonishing exertions he had made in 1
i the present-campsign ? ' Instead of this we had acted
' as recruiting serjerinta to the Emperor of the French,
and had contributed' by. the absence of that frank '
and manly policy'to swell his ranks. Ills Lordship
concluded by moving an Amendment, stating the
tie-
sire of the House, that no opportunity might he
omitted which Might afford au opening to a secure.i
. and honnurabloPeace.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL denied that there was
1 the slightest reason to believe that there was any
disposition to peace on fair and honourable terms on
the part of the Ruler of France. On the contrary,
at the very period of his return to Paris, .his own
official papers publicly stated the terms on which
alone he would make Peace, and which were too ex-
travagant to be listened to for a moment, The
Amendment was founded in distrust of Ministers,
for which there was no reason, and would;, if car
ried, defeat the very object it sought to attain.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE contended, that
even supposing .the .Ameitdrneut.to be. carritui,i.there
was nothing humillatieg in offering fair and honour-
able terms of Peace, nor did it imply a coicfesnien
of our being reduced to the. necessity of suing for
Peace. He concurred with bis Noble Friend In the
opinions he had stated.
' Lord BOLA ANDobserved, with respect to the
' French official papers, thatthey were put forth for
the purpose of preventing the-offer of fair and ho-
' nourable terms of Peace, and the object shad sac-
'..ceeded. As to distrust, he was, at the commence-
ment of the Session, disposed to place every colt& 1
' denco in Ministers) that they would not neglect a fit
' opportunity for otfliing Peace, and therefore he
forbore from bringing forward and' motion upon the
subject, but after the opportunities they had neg-
lected, he was bound to distrust them. •
r The Amendment was negatived, and the original
' Address agreed to, and ordered,fp he presented to
his Royal highness by the Lords with White
Staves. . •• _

Mr. W. SMITH objected to the passing of a Bill
which
would so materially affect the poor and the
Magistracy, throughout the whole country, at so
late a period in the Session. _What he should advise
was, that the measure should not for the, present be
persisted in, nail that the Bill and Tables should be
circulated throughout the country by which means
Fthe.objections to the Bill would perhaps be removed.
As the Will was wished for by all the bakers, it fol-
lowed, of course, that it_would raise the price of
bread ;—whether this rise were proper, would•be
subject -for future discussion. lie should move, as
an Ameudment, that the Report be taken into con-

Mr,IIUSKISSON supported the Bill, as tending
to equalize the price of bread.
. AIr.'F;LEIVIN replied. The measure, he' con-
tended, had been fully discussed in the Committee
to whom the Petitions of the country bakers had

The Royal Irish Canal Bill, the Trinity Doctrine
Bill, and the Free Duty Bill, were severally read a
third time and passed.
On the third reading of the Local Tokens Bill,
l• Mr. P. GRENFELL called the attention of the.
.11ouse,to the issues of • Copper Tokens in different
parts of the kingdom—some of adnfterated metal,
and others so slight as to be of small value. The
loss of' these issues fell on the poor manufacturers to
• whom they were issued. The remedy for this would
be by dense 'in the Bill before them, or (which
would, perhaps, be better) by separate enactment,
•• when another evil issue of counterfeit halfpence
would at the same time be provided against. This
trash, paising under the name of halfpence, could
totily be suppressed by suppressing the ohl Tower
! ' coinage, of which, in 1110, (according to Lord Li-
verpool,) there. were 1500 tons in circulation : this
quanti'y must have been diminished since that time.
Of the counterfeit halfpence 73 Sometimes made (Duly

The CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER said,
that on a pro9er occasion there' would be more dis-
position in his Majesty's .Ministry to take into con-
, sideration the. state.ef the copper coinage.
The Bill was. reed a third time.

Mr: Alderman ATKINS rose, in peramince of

Motion would have been rendered lintiecesgrY.
some steps on the part of his Majefty'S Ministry ;
and he had forborne any motion on the subject pen&
ing the Armistice with. America Ile then referred to a
Petition which be had presented from 250 respectable
merchants amid manufacturers, who stated that there
was a sufficiency of, cotton procurable from other'
soorces,• and that Olive imports had-been made on
,'the supposition that the importatien of this article
from America would be prohibited. • The East India

dulgeuce shown to the Americans, the British market
was glutted, and we ,had 169,119 bales lying on
hand.: The T1°1160410 Member then referred to
various petitions froM Paisley, Lancashire, and thel
city of London, which* were, in neneral, in favour
Of the non-importation of cotton from America.
—America realised annually a million and a half
`by the exportation of the „raw material. To show
I that this country could do without American cotton,
'he stated that the entire. Copstkmption of. cotton
,was .ebOut seventy-two millions. of'
.pounds yearly,
,and that we could import forty millions of panda
from Brazil alone, and 20 from Our colonies. It.
was the principle of the American Government.te
exclade our manufactures, and cripple our com-
merce, and he thought we ought to imitate her ex-
ample in carrying on the contest. Twenty years
ago, we had all our indigo from America,- whereaS,l
at thelast India sale, there were 11,700• chests dis.
posed of ; and by pursuing the same policy; the'same

altogether ideal. IT we Were to .encourage the

iadopted, the pressure would have been properly
felt in that *cowry much earlier. If we made our-
selves dependent on America for cotton, they would

the spirit of their Non-importation Laws. We
: ought not to leave so important a manufacture de-

Mr. FINDLAY explained. •
Mr. PHILLIPS depied, that oar colonial posses-
sions were. adequate to supply us with a sufficient
quantity of raw material, and maintained that the
arguments employed tended to show the superiority
of the American cotton. Ile was surprised, that Mi-
nisters had not declared their sentiments upon a sub-
ject of such greatimportance; btit they might be.de-
siro us of hearing the discussions on both sides, in
order to take part with the stronger.
The :CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
said, 'the table was ladee with contradictory lied-
tien's on this subjoct. What hehad heard fiom both

parties appeared very satisfactory to him. On one

we were not in any great danger of -continental com-

auxiliary measure; and if it should not beseccessful,

cious and direct than the measure now proposed,
which was merely a restoration of the navigation out
with respect to this article, and Which weuld only
have for consequence establiihment of M-inter-
, niediatedepot in the, Western Islands, and the adop-
tion of a circuitous mode of introducing Americaa
Cotton into this . country. The Right flottourahie
