prosperity- i lost in hriugii & hoped tso bringing forward the eur taternal time would be measures. Mr. Philips objected to the measures proposed, as it would raise the price of cotton 50 or 60 per cent, above tho ave rage. Aincrieaiuiotton, he said, was fi ner and better, than our colonies raised, and if the importation of it was prohibited for three years after the war ceased, it would find its.way t> other countries and destroy all pur competition in Eu ropean mark“ti». All that is wanted is to make the blockade effectual, and not suffer a pound of cotton to escape while denied to our own manufactures. Mr Manning w .s in favor of the strict hlockode, and wen high duties, and the encouragement'ol’ oifr own Colonies and Allies, in addron. It was our duty to deal with ns, and not with America, which had refused all mutually beneficial inter course. Sir W. Curtis was perfectly clear, that if encouragement was'given to our own co lonies, to our allies, and to our East-In dia possessions, we need fear no want of Cotton far our manufactures. There was plenty io the country for the consumption of one year, and long before that expired, if we acted wisely we might have enough for all future purposes. lie had seen as fine cottons from the isle of Bourbon as the Sea cotton of America. We there fore not only have sutficieut, but of the best quality, without providing bur eno mies with the sinews of War. lie would never consent to encourage the enemies of Britain. The ■ Americans were our de termined enemies, and they should always find one in him. Mr. L&scelles was afraid that if we did not take the Americans cottons, other nations would und injure us in our maiiu factures. lie desired to know if the, right hon. Gentleman abandoned Ilia former proposition P ’I he Chancellor of the Exchequer again explained, and restated his intentions Ho was not decided as to the prohibition ot American cottons. The question was of a commercial as well as of a political nature [as for its finance operation, that was entirely laid out of viewj and in the former point of consideration, tlie- great, object in liis mind was, that interference in mercantile concerns often did more harm tliao good. As a political measure they were ail agreed, that if the blockade could be carried effeetiinlly into execution till they could bring the Americans t< terms of negociation, it would be by far the wisest and best policy. He had been told, that a geographical blockade would be more effectual, and be acknowledged it—b it we hid no right by the law of na tions to iustitutc such a blocklike against America.} for America had not yet be- come openly a party to the Continental system, w hich was our only ground for a- doptiug this course towards France. We bad notified the blockade, as to all ports we could completely shut, and the com manders of the Meet might occasionally in atitute local blockades, as circumstances required. Thus every port south Kiiode-lsland would be pul in a state of biocaauc. \\ ith respect tojhe mistake in grantiug one or two licenses, it was per fecllv true that after they had been re Ihsed by Lord Liverpool, they were ob- tttiued from the Noble Lord at the head of the Board of > rude, w hich arose from that Noble Person having been absent from town from a heavy domestic calami ty, and being for the moment unaware ol the determination of the Noble Earl.— This however, was now completely reme died. As for the arrivals which had been alluded to, he knew nothing of them. If the statement was correct} he accounted for it by the circumstance of these vessels having sailed from America before the blockade was instituted. lie concluded by expressing th ■ happiness it would give hit i, could all our ditiei euces with Auie- ma be settled. Tbe petition was ordered to'lie on the ta ble. Another petition from tbe shipping interest, on tlie same subject was also dis- posed. BATTLE OF LUTZEN. The Prussian and French account* arc eo maternity different, that it is impossi ble to judge from them who is the victor. —There is one thing, however which can rarely err. The Map is the brstguid* we have—it is better than all their bulle tins. We judge of thepositions of the p irlies—and in general, we conclude that the party which retreats is beaten, the pursuing one successful. The allies have fallen Hack 90 miles from the field of 'Lut zen.—They have retreated they say, to the ground between the Elbe and tbe Ci der, to join a reinforcement of 100,U00 troops under Baron Tnlli. There are two circumstances which distinguish this action and enhance tbe credit of the victory of the French— a deficiency of cavalry and tbe number of young levies which formed their ranks.
