Lord Holland, after expressing his anxiety that a good understanding should be preserved with the United States of America, moved for certain papers respecting the intercourse between the U. S. and the islands—Lord Stanhope supported the motion recommending the cultivation of a close connexion between G. Britain & the wise, the moderate and upright population of America. Earl Camden says, the system which now controlled the governors of the West Indies was the same which was acted upon at the conclusion of the last war. That if a change was agreed to, it could not be well arranged now, as the session was very near its close; and if the motion was now persisted in he should be obliged to move the other orders of the day. The motion not being withdrawn, earl Camden moved the other orders, which were agreed to, yeas 14, nays 8. -House of Lords, July 4.
