In the houfe of AnembIy on Thurfday Iaf,
Mr.. Stout, from the committee to whom was
referred the Roiolutions from Maiiachufetts and
North Carolina, proooting an amendment TO the
General Contribution 70 as to prohibit the i'm
portation of Slaves, reported,
That twithfandng they are truly fenlihle
OF fhe proprety of taking every legal ffep with
in their power 10 ameliorate the Rate of the IN
Fortunate black people to which thoft reColuti-
ons refer, they are upon the mott mature deli
bera'ion upon the fubjett of opinion, that the
part of the Contribution referred to is not fuf-
ceptible of alteration until the year 1908 but
fnppoling it was, they think it highly probable
the amendment could not be brought into oper-
alton before that period arrives if that 1,ouId
be the cafe, no benefit will refult from the a.
mendneut. And rs your Committee are of O..
pirion that no change in the Contribution ought
ever TO take place without the hgheR profpe q
OF producing important advantages TO the Peo-
pie at large-they are therefore of opinion thar
the flid Revolutions oaght not 10 be adopted.

they will be fulfilled in making captures.
"Certihcates on property are necenary re-
quite TO every bill of lading, and fea-lettered

court of admiralty in this illand.
The treaty between the United States and
Spain ie not taken into confederation, except in
cafes when it will initiate againit the captured.
The laws are fuch as to location great detenti-
on and delay 'n prize cauies, and the difpofiti-

which is too frequently caufsd for the exprefs

cfdoing it.
