THOMPSON proposed that the second rca,iinr of this
Oil should be postponed until after tho recess on nc
count OF the various interests which were involved
During the holidays he would consider the subi,ct
and see whether any measure could be prepared bet

Mr.. u. ROBINSON complained TIM, tn. lat. Co.
vermont had conceded to tho United States direct
intercourse with the West India Colonies To the
injury OF our North Anc,ican Colonies. In doing
that, the late Government said that they had acted
on the principles OF the late MIR. Canning and Mr.
itusklsson, but he denied tina, such was the case
Mr.. duskisson always declared TIA, he never would
concedc such n boon TO America wthou; RECEIVING an
equivalent In return. In 8a5 Mr.. canning. in his
correspondence with. the Minister OF the United
States said, that he would ~, al Wv America TO en-
JOY direct trade with the IVES Indies, unless his
country received an cGuvaea; and it was prom sei
mat before any arrangement made al! plrtes

OF that promise, negotiation took place and was
concluded; and the CanaGas were only i:C0ruIcd OF
the fact through the meGiun of the United States
newspapers. In reading the c,rre,poa,!cncc which
