Mr. SPEAKER havirg taken the Chair at half raft three, Sir WILLI h F.NEY rt.,. fenced the Scotch Bankers' nil!, which wax read a fitft time, and ordered for the kcood reading, but no day named. On the motion of Sir J. W.

Read the third time the Hide and Tallow Import Bill; paired and ordered to the Lords. A Petition was prrfented from the Trotter, of the Bridal Mu. from, praying further pecuniary aid.

The Committee of Simply was priftpoool to Wcdnefday. bzeurczyst On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, the Hoek relnived hi& into a Committee of Ways and Means, Mr. ALEXANDER In the Chair. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, porfuant to the notice he had gives on Saturday night a, moved, That a Sum not exceeding two millions, for the &twice of his Majefty. be railed by Exchequer Nils, towards the exigencies of the year." He felt it ucctEary to inform the Houle, that this fum was not called for by any immediate (limey, but merely as a provifional (apply, In order to allow Government further time fee negociating the Loan for the ft:vice of the year. The motion was agreed to, and ordered to be reported to- morrow. • This notice wax not detailed in our Parliamentary Intel/hake of yellerday, baying been given to the Houfe while itrangers were excluded from the Gallery, during a dirifion whkb took plaahand confesuently not beard by our Reporter. AFF•II.S. Mr. CORRY moved the Order of the Day for the Houfe to refolve Welt into a Committee on the Id& Confolidation Duty Bill. The order being read, Mr. CORRY felt it =ca. fary very fhortly to detain the Houfe by Conte °bier vations upon an oblation which had been Ratted by , a Right Hon. Gentleman oppofite to him (Mr. Fof ter) upon a former day, with raped to the alledged informality of bringing forward the prefent Bill, as affecting the hereditary revenue of the Crown, with. out any intimation from his Majelly, expreffive of his royal affent to the meafure. In order to prove, fo far at lead as precedent could go; that no fuch in timation had been deemed neceffary upon the intro dalion of sinecures precifely fimilar both in the Par liament of Ireland and Great Britain, he went into a detailed hillory of what was called the hereditary revenue in Ireland, and particularly fo much of it as related to the duties on tobacco, tea, And hearth money, the Ads for ellabliffiing which, as part of the hereditary revenue, had been paffed in the lath and 'ph of Charles H. which were afterwards con firmed by a declaratory claufe in an Ad of William 111. and fo continued until the pa of the King, when the dudes upon tobacco were confolidated. and it was then declared, that the original duty of std. per pound on tobacco fhould remain hereditary ; and in the 33d of the King, when a civil lift was voted in Ireland to his Majetty , in conformity to a fimilar arrangement in England, thole enadments Rill con tinned; but though Come doubt was entertained, whether it was again neccffary to make any declara. tion upon the fubjea in the cafe of a Royal demife, it was judged, that in fuch a cafe the revenues would again revert to Parliament, to make fach new ar rangements as fhould fecal neceffary. Thus they continued to be enated every Seflion till the year 2782, and annually ever fince in Ireland, in the very fame manner and words; and no Royal Meffage to Parliament was ever deemed necefrary to warrant the Irifh Parliament in proceeding on the fubjed. In like manner the duty on Tea, which in the reign of Charles 11. was 61. per cent. ad valorem. was, in the IR of George 11. changed to the 7th of the King, when it was changed to a rateable duty of 6d. per lb. on fine, and 4d. per lb. on black teas. Out of the produce of the duty, fo altered, to,oool annu• ally was to go to the encouragement of the linen manufature 73001. was declared to be permanent hereditary duty, being the amount of the previous duty, and the Curtails, if any, to go to the common account of the public ; and no Royal Meffage was ever thought neceffary. The fame duties had been continued fince the IJAion, now the third year in the Imperial Parliament, and no filch oblation ever was Rafted ; and the Right Hon. Gentleman himfelf, when Chancellor of the Ira Exchequer, had brought forward thole Bills for feveral fucceffive years. In the Parliament of England, in the 27th of the King, an addition took place in the Poll Office Duties, an. other branch of .'le hereditary revenue, when the Cum of 380,0001. was refereed as hereditary revenue, and the furplus applied to the public accounts ; yet no melrage from the Crown was delivered or thought neceffary. Groutaling himfelf on thefe precedents. he felt warranted in concluding, that no fuch previous intimation had been deemed neceffary by the Parlia. ment in either Country. It might. however, be argued, that thole precedents might have been created by inadvertency, and were not fufficiently firong to guide the Houfe in a decilion upon the queflion.- 11, however, it fhould he the opinion of Gentlemen, that a Meffitge was indifpenfable. he would not re fi ft it. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER Paid, that from the able and explicit llatement of - Aix Right Hon. Friend who had jai fat down, the Hoofs would fee he had completely ityfeified himfelf in the proceedings he had adopted, and alto the Officers of Government in Ireland t but lea the Honfe (hould not be fatisfied with precedents in the frith Parlia• meat, he had felt it his duty to examine precedents in the proceedings of Parliament in this country. and from every cafe he there found, he was warranted to conclude, that the Houfe would be jiiffified in pro ceeding with thi. hill, without fuch previous Cm ment as Rated by the Right Hun. Gentleman (Mr. Potter.) He knew (Al well, that his Majeity's in tereas in the Her ed itary Revenue could not be touched without his affent bit by the conaant ufage of Parliament, that Allem might be declared in any Itap of the bill, from its introduction to its third reading. But anzions to obviate all doubts and dlr. Beulties upon this fubjeas he felt arlis duty ttra4 the quettion in that crariet molt authentic on fifilea. He had /Omitted It to his biJjefly. and he had it in command frcm his *lefty to declare his full alllnt to the meafure. . Mr. FOSTER declared himfelf fully Codified with the declaration of the Right Hnn..Gentleman. But there was nothing in the ttatement of his Right Hon. Friend (Mr. Corry) which went to remove his oh jeEtions to the Bill, which were not at all againft an nual enaßments, but againd the perpetuation of thole taxes, contrary to the cootie which had been un'formly followed in the Parliament tilf Ireland. Mr. ROSE thought it highly indifpenrible, that the Houfe Amid take no proceeding whatever af feaing the Hereditary Revenue, without a fpccial Meffage from his Majerly in the ufual forms, and not an intimation thus verbally communicated by a fervant of the Crown. The precedents of parliamen tary proceedings were,he contended, the reverie. The Houle, if it had a right to meddle with tool. r year of the Hereditary Revenue, had jug as good a right to meddle with goo,ocol. and he thought the Right Hon. Gentleman who made the objeaion, entitled to the thanks of the Houfe, for preventing them perfe vering in an irregnlarand unparliamentar y proceeding. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQITE ad mitted the orient of the Crown was necettary, and the thanks due to the Right Hon. Gentleman for the objellion he had Rated; but he argued there were many inftances efpecially "Selling the interefts of the Crown, where no meffage came previoutly to the Houfe, for it might be declared at any Rage of the Bill.—Mr. ROSE explained. Mr. G. PONSONB I, knowing as he did, that in the particular cafe of the fettlement of the Civil Lill in Ireland, there was a fpecific maize from his Ma jelly to the Houle, delivered by Lord Hobart, then klinifter, and entered upon the Journals, before the Houle took any proceeding, he could not have ex pelled fo pofitive a Ratement to the contrary from the Right Hon. Gentleman who began this debate. Mr. ORMSBY fupported the arguments of Mr. Corry, as to precedents. Mr. PONSONBY laid, thefe were only annual enaßments, and could not bear on the prefent Bill, which was to perpetuate the taxes. Mr. FOSTER (aid, though his Majeßy oriented , for himfelf, the interefts of his fucceffurs would alto be affe&ed by the Bill ; and to this point he would apply bimfalf in the Committee. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER re plied. He begged to be underftood that his Mnjetty's agent had been given in the broadeit fenfe of the word; but at the fame time there was not the molt diilant with, on the part of hi. Majerty, to fetter the difcretion of Parliament. The Houle then went into a Committee. Mr. FOSTER Rated various objeftions to the Bill. . . He raid, it tended to no good end, but went to en cumber proceedings, and , to harars the Mercantile Intereft of Ireland, by making taxes perpetual, which in a (port time, it would be found neceffary to repeal. He faw no good (Ned which could be obtained 4' fuch a confideration. It would not render any of the fchedules more clear to the Colleaors ; it would not render the colleaion more eafy, nor add one iota to the revenue. No man in Ireland was lalling for fuch a confolidation. •It would not render any of the fchedules more clear to the Colleaors ; it would not render the colleaion more eafy; nor a t dd one icta to the revenue. No man •in Ireland vies etalingTor filch a confolidation, but every one was reprobating it. There was no propriety an laying heavy incuin brances on articles of trade, when we were engaged in war. The merchants and brewers would complain with juftice ; and would be under the necellity of re. gulating their trade accordingly. He particularly deprecated the idea of ccrnfolidating the duties bn herrings, hops, linens, and licences . No oppor units had been given to the Mercantile Intereft in Ireland, to fee and confider the feheeltiler, the Bill having been only firft heard of left Tuerday. He concluded with moving, that the Bill Ihould only extend to Cie ayth of March, rflos. Mr. CORRY Paid, that it was not intended by this Bill to render taxes fo fixed and perpetual, on any article of trade, as that they lhould not be reconfi dered at any future period, and every relief afforded to the manufaanrer. For that esprefs pupae a clanfe was added, as is done in every Mt of Par liament. After a long converfation, in which various ob fervations were made both for and again& the pro pored amendment, Mr. roller agreed to withdraw his motion, in order that the Committee might re por progrefs ; but he referred his right to urge his fentiments againft perpetuating the taxes on a future occafion. The Houfe refumed, and the Committee accord. ingly reported progrefs, and leave was given them to fit again to-morrow. VOLUNTrat BILL. Mr. Secretary YORKE moved the order of the day for the Honk going into a Committ•e, to re fume the confideration of this Bill. The Houk ac cordingly went into a Committee, and he prop - tied various verbal amendments which had occurred to him on thole claufes which had already undergone confideration. Thefe amendments were agreed tn. On the cltufe defcrihing the power of the Com manding Officer of any Volunteer Corps, Mr. Secretary YORKE obferved, that it had ap peared neceffary to make a potierior enaAment, and to prefcribe lime limitation to the power of a Com manding Officer, as to difcharging any Mern:rer of his Corps. It was propoled that he Ihould not have Inch power when a Corps is called out on alas% in. vafion, or appearance of an enemy on the coaft, as the Corps would then be put on permanent pay, and under military law. It was not iatended to letter the Commanding Officer, by his calling together a Court of Enquiry, hot to empower him to take upon him felf to difcharge a man when he ftw teafon for to doing, his decilion being always fubjea to be recon- Gained by the Crown. Tor that purple it Viaa pro- pored to lay down, in general, what line a Com manding Officer was to purfue, In as to present ea ! prate and whim from operating on his mind.— Wherever any rules and regulations had been agreed to by any Corps, as to this particular point, and zip_ proved of by his blajefty, it was rrcpnied that no thing in this claufe Ihnuld affea filch Corps. The chide wits thus tad, as proptied to be amended. 1 J Mr. FOX Paid, he was inclined to doubts whether or vet the power thus given t r Commanding OIL. was not greater than what was neccttary, when the nature of the Volunteer fyßem was confidered. As a Voltmeter enjoyed certain exemptions, it was un reafonable to leave it in the power of one individual to difcharge him according to Fleature. He was thereby to become fubjea to the militia, dec. It might be aUedged by force, that this esormoos power would not be abided, but it was well known that there are many private caufes which may incline thole in power to thew partiality, whet they ere allowed to execute fummary _Office. The Right Hon. Gentleman had faith that roma canfes of ditmiffal were to be prefcrib wain she Bill, one of which, he undertioodr wits con attendance. He thought that tbch a ands was not a proper one to be Rated, as it was impoffible, in many cafes, for Members of Volunteer Corps to at. tend, and on no occafron whatever was it palate to. procure the attendance of every individual. As to the reprefentation which was to be allowed to the injured perfon fo difmilred, he would with to know what objea or iaterelt the Lord Licu;enaot, or his Majefiy, would have in bringing a vindiaive enquiejt as to the propriety of the Commander's decifion i•-•• He would rather prefer the judgment of a Court Martial than that of a Commanding Officer. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER obferved, that it was one of the many happy circum (lances attending the conftitution of this country. that no Ipecies of injuflice could be done to any individual with impunity. In the prefent Millrace, he did not think that any injullice would pats over unnoticed. A Court Martial, 'or a Court of Enquiry, omit con tra of three Officers, the feleajon of whom, be thought, wobli tend to occaflon t 4 degree of jealoufy and diffitisfaaion. Mr. BRAGGE defended the chute againft the objeaions of Mr. Fix, and laid, that it was intended to give the Lord Leutenant the power of reioastiolg the Officer imptoperly difiniffed. Mr. CUItWEN thought it a great objeaion to the chore, that the offences were not enumerated. for which men were to be tubjeft to difmiffall ; the Officer who commanded may, under this clouts, dif mifs without affigning any caufe, or allowing the man difmiffed to make his defence. Lord CASTLEREAGH Rated, that in the regu lar army there was always a power vetted in the Co lonel, to the approbation of the Commander in Chief, of difmiffing any private or non.commif froned Officer, at his difcretion; and in the militia, it was conferred by fpecial Aft of Parliament on the Colonel, with the approbation of any two of the De puty Lieutenants. Both fides of the Monte agreed in the propriety of a power of appeal refiding tome where ; he did not fee where it could be better placed thaiin the Crown.. If any individual °mold be ag grieved by an improper ditmittal. be bad only to Rate his cafe by petition to the Secretary-of State. who, no doubt. would advife his Majelly to order a cot* of enquiry, by whole repeat the difniffal would either be confirmed or annulled. Mr. FOX AO the Noble Lord whether he meant to affert that. it was competent to a Colonel in the line s or in the militia, to difmifs a man at his ditcre tion ? 'He never conceived thit filch a prat:lice Ob tained in either `of tilde Cervices and for th is good reafon in the line, that the ditmildl being a fpectes of panifhment or corporal difgrace, could not ba inflia ed witty-rut recurring to a competent tribunal. In difinlffing a man front the Volunteers, ofbe was de prived of his right of extroption, a right too much importance to Ire fubjea to the caprice or malice oI any fingle individual. • Celt. NORTON declared, that he never knew an affanze of difmiital from the Army, except by Court Martial or Court of Enquiry. Mr. PITT argued againft the principle of compel ling the Commanding Officer to declare in every ca,e the reafon of dilmiffel. There were certain of fences that miy render a man very objeftionahle, although they were not of that defcription to call for fcvcre repretienflon. He thought that a Com manding Officer would be juftified in difrniffing a man whole charaffer was bad or indifferent, and yet it would be very difficult to gu through all the proqf of filch an objettion to him. Mr. ROSE approved of the idea of appealing to two of the Deputy Lieutenants. and of giving them the power, if the Volunteer had been difmiffed with out fuffi,ient cattle, of confirming the exemptions. but not to compel him to be again received en the Corps. Mr. GREY stilled that the principle of enquiry fhould be recurred to in ALI cafes, a., well enumerat• ed as nut ; and that in Cori a in which there Mould he only three Officers, the Common ling. Officer mould be bound to convoke them as .1 Court of En quiry, and to afford the perfon accofed the i rivilege of Rating his own cafe. He moved an amendment to the effea, " that the Commanding Wee thoold have the power of fummoning a board ut crerry." A defultory debate took piece on the amendment, in which Meth's. GREY, Fox. PITT, STURGIS, and Vie'veirt, were the principal fpeakers on one fide ; and Man. Yoses, Lord CASTLEREAGH, and Mr. ADDINGTON on the other. The fpeakers for the amendment argued against the hardthip of a Volun teer who wa. improperly difmiffed being deprived of his exemption, and fubieft to immediate ballot for the Mania, or Army orßeferve ; but in maintaining that. they by no means meant to infill that any ap peal mould fpecificaily lie againfl the Commanding Officer. Againit this it was objefled, that it went, it adopted, to deprive the Commanding Officer of the power of difmifral, which had been generally adopted on a former evening ; and that any clog upon his ditcrztion in that refpeft would facilitate the rniffi, n 01 improper or &antral fubjeas into the Corps, for the good order and fidelity of which, he was pe culiarly refponfihle to his Sovereign and the State. It was further weed, that in a fyltcm Poch as that by which the Volunteers were regulated, various cit.- cumllances might occur which would render it ex tremely difficult, if not altogether impoffibler to bring an offender to trial, and yet might be filch as would make it the duty of the Commanding Officer to difcharge him. There was always a fenouc rt. fponfihility thrown on the Commanding Officer. which would induce him to be extremely anoints. the exereire of that difcretion with which he was en. trolled ; and therefore there was but little danger to, be apprehended from confearing the privilege of dal nufTal en him. The confine; was at length put on the amendment' 1 ,y 3~` r.
