By capt Moore, of the brig Bru
to*, 36 day* from Plymouth, (Eng.)
and a mcrrmuile frentl, we have
been favored with papers to the Kith
of J.in. from which wc have n.ade ex
tracts for this <la\’s paper.
I he Speech ol the Regent at the
opening of parliament, contains nr>
thing from which any materialchangc
in the measures ot the Cabinet o! St.
James can be indicated. We have
not time to insert in this tla\’s pa
per, the proceedings of Parliament
upon the Speesh ,• addresses were
carried in Doth houses, echoing a9 u
stud the Speech. In the House of
Commons Sir Francis Eurdett off -r
ed an address ol a very different na
ture, but it was without support,
there being.for it one ; against Two
hundred and thirty seven.
We presume our readers will be
desirous to know what was said in
Parliament, relative to America.
In commenting upon the address in
answer to the speech, Mr Whitbread
a distinguished member of oppositi
on,upon American affairs rcmuiked,
“ Another point on which lie dis
sented from the present addresa, was,
• he gross delusion which it held out
when it asserted that we intended to
pursue with die Amciican tro
fcu.era
aunt, that co.u-iii i*- -yp- ctem which
- 1 already bet n adopted, lie had,
himself, iaie in tho la-u >rsr.k)n appli-
*-d (or the papers relative to the A-
merican discu :si >n. ’I’hc* papers
were refused ; and if the American
government had acted in the Same
manner, v.v might still have been all
.-ursuaded that the language of our
Ministers were r.-ufectly conciii.tto-
rv, and required nothing but wAat
the pro-ip a ity, tile honur, and the
seruritv* of our country demanded.
But even then, at the time ol the re
fusal of these parrers,- gentlemen on
the side of the house on which Ik
i.u, had prophecied that war must
necessarily ensue with America—
Now we saw what had been the
consequence ol all our notahlr-
schemes with regard to America ;
fraught as they were with, and pro
ductive of base subterfuges and com
mcrcial perjuries. All these fine
projects, after an existence for five
years, appeared likely to end in forc
ing America into an alliance with
j France, and a war with England.
The address talked of conciii tion.
When the f -reign minister in his ne-
gociations with that government, in
dulged in cotvujneliouE expn ssioos,
or in more contumelious silence, was
such contumetv to be called a plan of
conciliation ? Would it be reckoned
a conciliatory conduct among intli
vidiuds not to answer a le ter which
stated serious matters of
comp amt:
When flat denials were given in the
lace of facts, and a miuis er was sent
out to demand what it vvaa known
could not he conceded, w;i9 the
Prince to be deluded by an address
which expressed the language of con
ciliation ? lie must suv, that the
whole conduct of ministers with res
pect to A merica proved that they
were acting on those haughty arid un
conciliatory principles which mu«f
prevent peace with any government
haps the right honorable gentleman
would crunaiuniCitto to them, for
their benefit, some of his spare wis
dom ; for it he had aiiy.wisijoiB.it
certainly was to spare, as he had ne
ver exhibited any in governing His
own country. But to return : Mi
nisters neither gave, nor intended to
give any in formation rcspt-ctii gViicsc
subjects of inquiry! All rii.it wc
knew was, that the affair of the dies-
up cake was indeed adjusted , but
all other differences were siiil unre
conciled. 1 he Congress had met,
and an address- had been isati d,
which evidently anticipated war—
which war he had no hesitation to
say, depended and regohed liortr the
unbending and unaccommodating
conduct of our iToveinm-mt ”
Jo ihjs The Chancellor of the Ex*
chequer ret lied as follow* : ,
Another topic, undone whfchpjie
conlcsscd to be ofl the greatest, i n-
portance, observed upon bv the ho
norable gentleman, was the, state of
our relations with America. He
hoped that the house would be in Ful
gent enough, if th.y saw at pr-jijtt
an indispositiony n the part of n»i-
nisters to go into any discussion qrj
that point, not to aitrihute thatijidis-
position to want of ahilitv to mett u-
nv such discussion, nor to any appre-..
hensions that this c. entry would suf
fer in her honor cr her iotertstg by
whatever might be disclosed iinou.it.
rile true policy for thE cquntrv to a-
dopt towards America ; and the po
licy which had been adhered to by
the ministers of the crown, was to
-t.ive off that catasiropfie—dm ca: ti-
trophe ol war —which it was th*- in
terest of both nati‘ ns to avoid. The
contiuct of the government to Am ..
rica puglit to be lumneiate and 'Uti-
derat'e, but, at the frame time, dignifi •
ed iir.d consistent; but nothing could
iti p:de its plans and progrc$» more
tlian, during the pending r.tj;r.riaii-
on, to lie thus putting it upon iis de
fence—to he thus putting the coun
try apon its trial. Il’ the conduct of
America was rcallv that of a l*ir,
impartial neutrality, as the honora
ble gentleman coptei dcd, he would
raihtr give the IttEorahie gentleman
credit lor his opinii n, than run the
i isk of endangering die success cf
the pending discussion, by any 6p-
clarations to the contrary. A war
between this country and Ameri
ca would he productive oi' evil to
both ■, although, in his opinion, not
of so much evil to England as Ame
rica. So far from considering the
interests cf both countries to be in a*
ny opposition to one another, he
would always consider the wealth oi
America as accessary to the riches,
and her prosperity as accestarj to the
greatness of England. He would,
inched, be sorry to see America
crushed, imnov crished, or destroy ed.
(Here Mr. Whitbread repeated the
word “destroyed ’’) The honors-
hit gentleman might repeat his
words, hut though he did m i use the
word destroyed in a physical annihi
lation, vet he contended that a war
with England would prove de
structive to .America—destructive
to her wealth, her strength, her pros
perity, and her progressive civiliza
tion. The honorabl*- gentleman re
viled the phrase of “conciliatory dis-
■ position,” which the lit gem’s speech
attributed to the English govern
ment in its transactions with Ameri
ca. For his part he was candid e«
n^ugh to cm-less, that he would bear
with more ft .am America than from
