BRITISH IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

The debates received by the arrival at Nor.
folk are not so important to this country as
was naturally anticipated. All we find, in the
mass of matter before us relating TO American
affairs, are contained i'll the following extracts:
Mr.. Whibred, an opposition member, au-
ding to what had fallen from MIR. Canning, re.
marked:
" The next respected America and here
he could not help expressing his sufprize, that
the right hon. gentleman who had last spoken.
had abstained from explaining why in the last
session he had withheld from the house, do.
cumcnt, which went to the complete iustifica-
tion of our minister in that country. He was
glad to hear, by passage in his maics,v'S
speech that our affairs with America were in n
train of accommodation but the right honor
able gentleman opposite is deeply responsible
for the ,ardiness with which that arrangement
had been entered ,Hto.
ministerial member remarkcd
E" 10 The affairs of America, it might be in
d-cornu, for him in their present situation to
advert. nor should he, after the observations of
his nalesty's speech, enter into any inquiry as
to the conduct Of the ministers. If the honor
OF the nation We're at stake, however we might
regret the revival OF hosrlitics, or the injury of
our trade, IT could not be matter of he station.
d
pro 'uce upon the commerce Of this country,
W. might be able to form some judgment from
| former experience. During the embargo the
amount of the exports to and from the United
! States, Werr unques,ionably decreased; but
his loss was amply counterbalanced by the d.
! ect trade carried ON by our merchants to Spain.
England dcsirea mHhcr peace or 7vay; but she
would suffer no ind!gnity, and make no unbc-
coming concessions. With every engine OF
power and perhdy against us, the situation of
| this country had proved to Bopapare that it is
| invulltrable in the very point to which all his
| efforts were directed. The accounts of the ex-
| ports of British manufactures would be found
! to exceed by several millions, those OF any for
mer period"
Mr.. Perceval (the chancellor Of the cxche-
| query remarked:
| 6 With regard to America, there certainly
did appear to exist greater difficulties in recon-
| Cling the difference which had subslsted be-
tween them but even upon this point, the Oh
| stacles to an union did not appear 10 be insu-
| perable. One Of the great leading points OF
! difference respecting America arose upon the
| orders OF council, w5lch the two noble lords
had represented as most impolilic, and as Icing
! bir with ruin TO the commerce OF this country.
| Fortunately the roey or impolicy Of the or
terS IN council [ y NO longer renamed IueS-
ton of theory Md been determined by the
