IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. House cf L rds, July 4. Colonial intercourse with AMERICA. Lord II- lland rose to bring forward his promised motion for fome important information on his fubjyfh.—He prefaced it with a very able and argumenta r vefpeechof cor.fiderable length. He dt-feribed the proceedi -gs vthi h had taken place in fome of the Weft-India Iflaids parti cularly in Jamaica, which in lu ted him to think, the prrl nt ap peal to the wildom of parliament They arota princi pally from the conduit of the thrfe iflan ls, with to ,he difcreirrmary pow er cxerfffftd by them, relative to tne commercial iniercourfe he ween the I(lands oi the U nired States or Ameri a.—He alludid 10 the fiifpfnfion of the Naviga tion Lavs, m one point of view, nut more efpeci illy to the reffric tive power exercifcd by them with refpeil to the importation >f America,! p oduce, so neerfih- y frrt; e fuftenanceof the flancis, or the iftigping of that country. The. line of condudt to which he referred, eirher in a pal i ical 0 commercial point of vie w, %v sos themoft feriou? importance —and till more, as i r is affccled the supply of the Islands with arti cle sos the firft necessity, as lum ber and provisions. The iiiha bitants of Jamaica in particular, relt it so flrongly, that their le gifi irive afiemblies made repeal ed reprefentat ons to the gover icr upon this fuhieft, who, in his answers dated, he could no 1 permit, the importation in neutral bottoms longer than a given period. With refpeft to the que ft : on, though as affe£hng the interests of the Ifian.ls, of great importance, was still greater, as it may ufTct die commercial in tercourse and good understand ing between this country and the United Srates of America. Hc deprreatod every thing like a iarrO',v,fclfiftr commerci tl policy, with refpeft to America. Mi niflers (hould confidcr the cir cumrt inces an i fuuation of Arne rica, the great importance of continuing that g iod understand- ; ng aid exfcnlive commorcia! and friendly intercourse wh'ch now happily fubliits between the two countries, and to which their common origin, language, and nanners, so very fortunately ands pole tnem.~~One ot his objects in coming forward was to give an apportunity to his Majetty’s Miniflers to disclaim any fu h nations or principles as actuated 1 heir conduct with refpedt to the 1 rtftriftions of the trade and com mercial intercourle between the Weft-India Iftaads and Ameri ca.—lt so happened, and fortu nately, he thought, that otr Weft-India lflands could not be adequately supplied with arti- les of tiv? fit'll necessity, except from the United Stu es.—He tn tms was evtntuaily forturuke, oecaufe the i npo.-c.nt conlidc ration to w.mch he adverted would operate as an additional niducemcnt with the governmen of th s coun ry to cult.vate a friendly understanding with A nerica.—t-Ie adverted to fome meffedual attempts which have )een and? under former admi nilt.-aiions to i'upply our Weft indu ill tn is from the Britifti lonmions in N. America.— \dvcrnng to the incalculable nporta tee of tie A uencan -om ntrcc to this coup ry, he oblervei, thit anv attc npts to -xduie America fiotn the trade of oir W-it- India I Hands, would y e work* than the conduct, as re’amd in rhe ancient Lble, o’ ne dog in the manger, whole de ermination w,.s com.irately wife and liberal. It would go to remind him of the fable of the two petitioners to Jupiter, to whom the Godhead said, that whatever he gave to the one, the other should have double—then, laid one, in a paroxif nos folly and malignity, g : ve me blindness in one eye, true rry neighbour may be blind in b >t \ eyes ? So would it be metaphorically, did this country wilh to excloJe Arne ica from our Well-1 ndia tnde, upon the narrow principle of commercial jealousy. Fiis Lort’lhip rook a view of the po licy and t-ftcifb of the Navigati on Acts, in its different bearings ; aud argued, that the changes in the lyffern of Europe, and the relative firuation o f this country, rendered the policy of acting up on it verv different Tom what it was at i - s ff It enactment. In wag generally Leaking, it wa imprafticab e. He wifnei the affairs to which he adverted were placed on a liberal fojting aud permanent —;.nd it was in poriant they lbould dec'are wha‘ ii ,e or fyltem of conduct they intended 10 a opt, rcfpelling the intercourfc between Ami rica and our Weft-lodia colonies, in time of war. Through the w iole ol hisfoeech, mure tfpec.aliy to war ls the concluffon, the ti b Lord ex atiated upon the gftat national importance, in a political or commercial vitw, 0. maintaining an a uKabis i.-ter couife and dole connection w^tl. Ameiica —and repeated, tnat one of his pnne pal ohjeits ia con ing so ward vegf. to give M niilers an opportunity o. diictaiming ai! nations of narrow or felfiih policy, win rdp’cct to tne inten ded intercourse in qudtion, a circumttanie which would giv j great fatisfaclion to all parties ;, and with rt-sped to th- ir mt nd edfyftem in future, heithcught chey should be explicit- — His LortUhip concluded by moving an adtirt fs to his M j sty, “ so; the produdiou of tne commu nication which took place be tween the legidative •‘ircinbiie of Jamaica and his Majefty’ government ofthatlfi-nd, touch mo the intercourse between that O colony and the United StA r es 01 America, from the common, e ment of the war with France, tc the 2ill of May last ; also for copies o’ the correspondence be tween his M j-’fty’s Secie.a y oi Sta e for the C ftonial Depart rent, and the Governor of Ja naica, on the tub ed, within thr fame interval—also, for various documents, refpeding the quan tities of prov.fior s, bcc. iir.port ed from America and the Ifiaf.d of Jamaica, at ■ ertain given pe riods, diftingu filing thofeimport ed from British America, and those from the United States of America.’’ * The being put on the firft motion : The Earl of Camdcn, in al lufionto what had traufpired on the fubjed of a former evening, observed he had Ilated that coun ter orders had been lent on to th: Governors. The orders which were lent relative to tire conduce of the Governors, n.- fpeding the fubjed in queltion, we e precif-ly to the fame pur pose, during the last war. B. the Ad: of the cS h of the King, he observed, all goods and com ma ikies wrre prohibited from being imported into the Br;t lh Weft-Indii Iflmi* fro n the U mteJ Scares of America, with tne exception of certain articles, as provisions and lumber, in cases ot ncct-fiicy of these the refpedive Governors were gene rally co. fticuted the judges L'hey were :o act upon taeu relponfibiiity with refped to the admilfioa oi theie arciclcs, and bil s oi indemnity were pafieo, when they had acted contrary to the law, The Noble Earl ad verted to the exteniive nature 01 the information caii-d lor , tqc nmD r ietr cf accompanying th-ffe documents with o'hers which vere necessary for the full iHu ilration ofth- fubjefl, and which, in this very advanced period of the feflion, it would be imprac ticable to produce. He there fore submitted to the Noble Bt on, the propriety of withdraw ing his morion for the present; nr, in case he perfi.led, he sh auid tnink it his duty to move the order of the day up in them. Lord Holland explained.a E.ork Hav ftcsßoa y's opjt-£t'- ons were not so much againlt producing the required inicrma tion, as producing that alone, v/hich should produce a fallepre judice upon the fubjeCt, and would by n) means put the idoufe in full pofleffim of the case. Under that convnflipn, mmifters would feel it their duty a!fo to move for a number of additional documents. With refpetfl to what was said of the rellriblions upon the trade in question, he had to obffrve, that there were many representations made, from refpc£table and im portant quarters, of a direct con trary tenuency to thofc alluded to by the Noble Baron, and lous adduced that government, lntlead of uripofing unneccffaiy reltrictions, were, in fabt, too in dulgent with rvfpeCt to that parLofthe trade or the Un ted -States, to rhe gr*at detriment of the Briiiih merchants ; their Lordfh.ps would, therefore, fee the prop irty yth propole 1 ad- Jit:o ai documents, in order to afford parliament and the puo iic a 1 apportunity to decide and judge throughly of the mcr.tsof the question. He admitted the fobject was one which any Nobis Lord might airly bring before parliament, but the advanced p- : iod of the session rende"ed the production of the necefihry do curiv:ntsimpiadticable. He vvc3, therehire, of opinion with his l noble friend, it wou'd be prefe rable 10 pollpone the di!cuffior to another leffi >n, when all the informvtion proper to be laid be-, fore parliament, could be produ ced. With refpctff to the line of conduct intended to be p :r ----ued b\ his M jelly’s government rHarive to the futjed iu question, it would be regulared by rhtir convictions of the true interefrs and character of ih-ir country, snd a due refpedt lor the prin ciples ot the Navigation Laws. With lefpcCt to what was laid of their vievss in regard to the trade of America, they would be re nilated by no fentimenc contra :y to thofc just and liberal prin ciples of commercial policy, so weff understood in ‘he prefenc day j upon principles, founded not onh upon the tiue intcrcft of their own country, but even with regard ‘o the intmft ami profperitv of Amer'ca hfrleif. Earl Stanhope contended that Miniflers had not been fufficient ]y explicit, particularly with re iptd to their intended condud durii g the rec fs. Inllead of giving a plain answer to the que ries oc his noole friend, the Se cretary of State anfwere#d only by generaiitits. His lorufliip tnen lpoke in support of Dime of h s noble fr end’s arguments, with refried to the great impor tance of a good u deirtlanding between America and this coun try, whole example the latter .ought to follow wich refped to her fine of the internal and ex ternal policy. The Duke of Montrose replied, j with considerable fpiri-, to many 1 of the p Tuiors advanced by the Noble FUri wholpokc last, wnofc warmth of expreUion, he luppo le;i, might a rile fr m the warmth of the preicht ieafon, a period in which ne generally thought pro per to attend his ou y in that noule. He com nded t at his .\obic Friends hal be n fuffici -rntiy explicit ; the orders given, hey ilated, hid beei the l\me as duiiag the • last war ; and thr; i.ne of condud would be p.efer cd in. He conceived that eve y country had & right to :e_u iatetue trade Jof its own co.w-
