On the nth of February last, in the House
of Commons of Great Britain, Mr. Fox
wiftiqjd to know why the forts they have held
in America since the peace have not been ceded
to the States. Whether they ought to be
ceded by treaty or not he could not pretend to
fay ; but it was very lurprifing that the five
provinces they nowpoffefa in America should
require as. many troope to protest them as
when they had 13 provinces to guard and
keep in fubjeftion. With refpeft to Gibraltar,
he would infill that there did not exist the
■ smallest occasion for any additional troopato
protest that garrif m ; it has recently been put
into a state of defence, which they have been
told is absolutely next to invulnerable. For
the Weft India ifiamis, the true mode would
be, to prevent any surprise, to keep a luffiti
ent number of troops at Halifax, wheie ihs'
climate, and convenience for an army, weic
certainly more encouraging than any of their
iffands in the Weft Indies.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer thought
that at present it would be impohtirk to go .
into any difeuffion concerning the forts which
Government lias kept possession of since the
peace at Paris- in 1783. At present he could
not take upon himfelf to fatisfy the Honourable
Member, as the divulging of certa-.n cireum
ftances might probably affeft the intcrcft ot
that country ; he therefore declined entering
into any detail upon the fubjeft.
