In the House Of Commons. on the eist

his plan fur relieving the Colonial trade

Mr. II proceed 60 develope The views of
ministers, in the following words

now recommend to the committee to grant
several privileges to the Americans. In
DOING that, however, he should feel hound

result would be, that retaining exclusively
Our colonial trade, we should give every
facility far trade, consistent with the saf,t,
OF the colonies, to the colonies themselves,

1t would he necessary, in order to effect
this purpose, greatly to enlarge the list of

would be necessary TO impose moderate
