I'd .K11 li.i! - ted up, and after a long fpeech, concluded bv moving an Addreis to his Royal Ilighneis. Lord Cochrane in another fpeech fecon- dedthe motion, and the Mover and Seconder of the Minilrcrial Addrefs who have uniformly ob¬ tained precedence on nil former occalior.5, were thrown out. The • frder of things bcintf thus reverted. tie Aadrefs prepared' by Lord jocelyn and Mr. Vyfe neceiTarily came forward as an amendment to the addrefs of Sir Faucis Burdett. Sir Francis and Lord Cochrane •'•ere appointed Tellers, but they hid only one member to count, and that was Mr. Cuthbcrt. Lord Jocelya's addrefs, or rather his amendment, was carried without adivifion. During the Debate in the Com¬ mons, Lord Joeelyn cxpreiTed a hope, that the adjuitment of the afuir of the Cheftpeak, " Might be the forerunner of an ultimate arrangement, for that pennant friend (hip between tlie Cwc nations, which muft equally redound to the benefit of America, as it will to the advantage of G. ntaic. Mr. Vyfe faid, Mr. Fonionby obferved, <; The third topic embraced by the Speech appeared to him to be of yet greater importance than the c mteft in the Feuinfula, and that tonic was our relations with Am- '••■n.i. llchndlccn with pleafurc the pacific ipiritthat had recently r.nrked the communications ot this Government to that power —-md, trulling, as he did, that this pacific fpirit would continue to manifeit itfelf, and pervade the future negociations, he thought it moll expedient to ablMn at prefent from any commentary on that fpirit,orremakson the conference which had attended it." ThcChancellor of tlieExchequcr [Mr. Perceval'JI'.iid, "• As to America, he did not think it delirable that any difcuf- hon fhould take place on that iub- jcclat prefent, and under the pre¬ fent circuiiiftanccs of the negocia- tion between the two countries-" The next day, Jan. 8, Mr. Whitbrcad obferved, " The Speech contained another topic highly intereiting and im¬ portant, on which it was proper for the lioufc to demand informa¬ tion ; he meant the unfortunate unadjultcd differences- with the U. States o( America, l-.al &a- fion it had fallen to his lot to depre¬ cate in that Boufe, that all oilers of conciliation made bv America 4 were rejected by the Britilh Gov- crnment, and that the greateHdif- rjipeT had lie.-n fliewn by the Marquis of Welleflev to the Am- crican Ambaifauor, ]\Ir. Pinkney. That nlTertion \\\^ denied, and he (Mr. \V.) perhiadetl of tiie fact, moved for the eorrefpondence which palled between them ; but it was refilled, and the houfe con- erred in the rcfulal ; but the charge had not been vet rebutted. When any p:rfon on tlvat (the Oppolltion) fide of the Koufe ven¬ tured to predict evil comcquences from the meafures puriucd by Gentlemen on the other fide their prophecies were reviled or dilrcgar- i\:d ; but whath'i;)' had .vfvv.iys dreaded wnsunhappily like to come to pate ; for after our differences with vVmcrica had iubffited five years, and Government had repor¬ ted to every political fubtcrfugc to avoid conciliation, notwithstan¬ ding the repeated efforts of Amer¬ ica to come to an accommodation, we had only to cxnect the fatal cataftrophe leagued with France. (Cries of hear ! hear ! from the Onpolition Benches.) America told us that the L>eerees of Prance, which -eaufed our Orders in Council, rcftriciinn- their neutral commerce were re¬ pealed : our anfwer to that was a flat denial of the fact. The Houfe, as yet, had very little information upon the fubjeer, but when the neccfrary documents mould t>e produced Minilters would have a long account to fettle, for the eor¬ refpondence had already appeared in the American Papers. From the eorrefpondence between Mr. Monroe and Mr. Foftcr, it was evident that the obnoxious Decrees of France were repealed on the end. of Nov. [Here Mr. Percival faid, acrofs tlie table, " America lays fo."] Mr. Whicbread then challenged the Right Hon. Gentle- offeeing that country London.—[Hear:! hear L.Heveould call that Mmiiter to to the Government ot Am- *\"> • Our differences with America man to produce one inftance flicw- ;r.-miied to be amicably adjufted, ingthat they had not been repealed; --,; at ail events our fincere"defire he would call on that Minifter to -• \, - -j-: was fuGciently evident prove it to America, to prevent tlie erica, that it was unable to govern that country. From the Meilage of the Prelident, and the Report of the Committee of Foreign Relations nothing but war threat¬ ened us, while our Government obttinately refufed to evade the teinnefl by timely meaiures." ^ The Chancellor ot the Exche¬ quer, in reply, laid, # 11 He could have no hchtation in laying, that great and very im¬ portant differences exiftcd with America, the particulars of which he mult decline at prefent to ftate for obvious rcafons, and in the hope, that they will be amicably removed, but not from any inabil¬ ity to elhblilh a goodcauleon the art of Great Hritain. The terms oifered by Britain were moderate and conciliatory, but conliitent with the honor and dignity of the country. Let the Houfe look to the conduct of Britain and France to America, as well as the conduct, of America to both, ami judge whether Britain had committed an unjuft aggrelhon. Should the - ratal cataltVopne oi a war break outrhe would not diiguife that it would bring great evil upon the country, but he was perfuaded that America would not be the leaf! fuffcrcr. A'.matcver Gentle¬ men might fuppofe, it never was his Willi to fee America cruflied, or ruined in her trade or her re¬ fourees------on the contrary, he looked to the wealth and prosper¬ ity of that country as acccflary to thofe of Great Britain, and that the diminution of thofe of one mufl aH'crt thofe of the other.------ [Hear! hear!] From every con¬ federation he was able to give the fubject, he did not think Britain could, confidently with her un¬ doubted rights and national ho- nour, fubmit more than ihe did to tnenational honour. America laid, i he Berlin ami Milan Decrees were repealed ; he faid they were not. [Hear, hear, hear !] He plainly law in every fubfequent commer¬ cial Decree that the principles were adhered to and acted upon. If America had evidence of their re¬ vocation, where was the public in- ftrument to prove the fact ?—The decree for repealing them promifed only adiftant revocation condition¬ ally that England renounced her new fyftem of blockade, by re¬ voking her Orders in Council, or America mould make her flag ref- peclcd—that was to go to war with England. Since that condi¬ tional repeal, however, the Berlin and Milan Decrees were repeatedly declared to be the fundamental laws of the Empire, and all neutral (hips which mould not conform to them were declared to be den¬ ationalised.—[Hear! hear!]—Was that a virtual revocation of them ? Itwasnot. But whenever Frrance mould revoke them, Britain would repeal her Orders in Coun¬ cil, but not relinquilh her maritime fuperiority, which France could • not Otherwise reduce.
