The Houle having refolverlitfclf into a Committee of Privllegre, hard evidence in fupport of the claim or Sir Cecil iiiihopp, to the title and digiaty ot Barou Zouetie of Haryngworkla. Or dered to be further proceeded in on the bra Tuefday in the neat Win of Parlament. The 13111 for th - • Abolition of the Slave Trade, the hi& Corn Trade, sod two Private allia,wetv Lt-ougtit op from the Commons• The fcveral ails on the table were OW in their relleCtive Pages AISOLITgOi OF Tilt Sl o tat TRAOI. On the tuft reading of this Bill, Lord HAWICES. BURY witted to addrefs a few words to their Lord- Clips, without meaning to occupy any confiderable portion of their time. His fentiments refpeaing the meafure propofed to be carried into effea by the Bill which had been kilt introduced, were already known. He had °pooled the principle of abolition when it was left brought torward, and all the reficaion he had fine been able to give the fuhjesl tended only to confirm the opinions be then entertained. He did not rife to debate the Bill in the prefent Rage of it, but it was hi s intention, when the. fecond readin g be moved, to move, that in place of the word , the words !bat day three moths (Muhl be fubfii armtuted. Con fi dering the important nature of the Bill, and the variety of interefts that were likely to be af feaect by it, and that every individual likely to be aggrieved by it was entitled to be heard at their Lord (Yips' bar, he raw but little probability of their being able to make any confiderable progrefs with the Bill during the prefent Seflion. Indeed, he thought the propofers and friends of t he meafere were not quite free from blame in bringing it forward Co late in the Seffion. He was aware that Bills of the utmoll im. penance had been often paired in the courfe of a few days, hut then they were Bills not involving fuch complicated interefts as the prefent one. Their Lord hips could perceive, by referring to the printed votes of the other Houle, that the leave to bring in this Bill had not been given until fo late a day as the 3oth of May, and they were now called upon, witbiefour weeks, to proceed with it in the hopes of having it patted in the prefent Seffion. His Lordfhip put it to the candour of Noble Lords, whether they would, under thefe cireumnances, concur in preffing the Bill forward ? He was perfeaded that they, coeld not. continent with that fpirit of juftice by which their proceedings were always governed, and particularly where•the interefts of a variety of perfons were involv ed. His Lordibip concluded with moving. thatthe Bill amid be printed. and gave notice, that on the fecond reading he Ibould move the amendment he propofed at the commencement of his fpeech. Earl STANHOPE was glad to find that the No ble Secretary of State had altered his intention, and that, inked of making the motion now that he men tioned, he had thought it advifable to defer it to the fecond reading of the Bill. He profeffed himfelf a warm friend to the principle of the Bill for the aboli tion of that horrid apd impious traffic, equally fob werfive of the duties of religion and the rights of men. He few no reafon why the Bill Ihould not be paned this Seffion. If the perfons who were interefted in the continuance of this fyllem of fraud and depredation, which diffionoured the name of commerce, fought to perpetuate it, by prefenting petitions, and tendering evidence at their Lordfhips' bar, he, although he flood tingle, would think he but badly difeharged his duty to his Creator, and to his country, if he did not refill the hearing of fuch evidence, and the receiving of Inch petitions. Where a tranfaBion was innocent in its nature, the perfon who had an intereft liable to be &tidied by any alteraticn in the eircumnances of fuch tranfaaion, had a right to be heard in defence Of filch intereft. But if a perfon prefented a petition for liberty to continue in the praaice of a crime, from which he derived emolument, he would not make a mockery of jutlice, by contenting to hear that man. When the proper period mould arrive for debating the Bill, and coming to a decition on it, he would be ready to fupport it both by vote and argument. Lard HARROWBY conceived, that nis Noble Wend had been niifunderfload by the Noble Earl ; he did not underaand him to have laid that be had come down with the intention of moving that the Bill &mild be pnaponed tor three months. Such a proceeding would have been a furprize upon their I,ordlhips, which he knew his Noble Friend to be incapable of ; but he undertlood him to have given notice, that fuch would be the nature of the amend ment he Ihriuld propofe on the fecond reading of the Bill. His Lordiltip had been always friendly to the abolition, and be certainly &mild ((ippon it, whenever it was brought forward ; but he was op prehenfive it had been introduced too late in the 4slion, to afraid reafonable grounds of expeaation that it could be paired before the riling of Parlia intent. He thought Come blame was imputable to thole who introduced it, for having delayed it to fu advanced a period of the Seffion. He did not fee how it could be pelted through the Houle, keeping in view :hat rigid impartiality which it was the duty and the praaice o f their Lordlfhips to obterve, whenever the fortunes of individuals were con cerned. Lord GRENVILLE would not now enter into a difeuffion of the Bill, but take that opportunity of declaring that he now was, and always had been a decided friend to the abolition of the Slave Trade. He would not trouble their Lordfhips with the rea lons upon which he grounded the opinion which he had entertained for the lift ten or twelve years, of the impolicy, the injullice, and the criminality of that trade. With the immenfe mall of evidence lying on their Lortifliips' table, and the manner in which that queftiun had been lifted and fcrutinited in all its bearings and relations, during the ten years it had been before Parliament and the public, he could fee no needn't for waiting their Lordfhips' time by receiving additional evidence at the bar. The Gentlemen interelled in this traffic, teemed to depend more upon the length than the nrength of their cafe. Their °Nett appeared to be to carry their point by fatiguing and wearing out the patience of their Lorcliiiips. As be had no means of Ricer taiing when it wag intended that Parliament fhoold rife, he coald not fay whether there was fufficient time to get through the Bill in the prefent fefEon.— To himtelf, his mind has long been made tip on the f . Ica, and he was willing to come to vote on it as A • 14 , Mille • If the determination to heal' evi a,nc•, Mould the Li tire adopt that mode of pro ccedori,, wai fuppeted to proceed italllasty previous onderflanding or prefunted recognition of that right, he for one begged leave to protett againft it. Lord HARROW BY was apprehenfive that his Noble Friend did awfully c omprehend wharhe had raid. He did not mean to fay that he was difpofed to cuuntenancethe idea of procraftinating the impor tant meafure before the Nonce. Although other No ble Lords may perhaps be inclined to hear coon fel, and receive evidence on the part of perfons interefied, he had no occafion for the benefit of fuch lights, for his mind had king been convinced of the impolicy and the iojulliee of the trade, and he would vote for the abolition of it whenever it ffiould be brought forward. The Biffinp of ST. ASAPH cnnfidered any dif cuffion of the principle of the Bill as premature in the prefent (lase of it. Whenever it lhould re. gitlatly come beim c their Lordthips, he would be prepared to argue in favour of the abolition. The quellion now was, whether the Bill Ihould be print ed ? and to that he did not conceive there could be any objedion. The Duke of CLARENCE would only trouble their Lordibips with a few words. Since a very early period of his life, when he was in another line of pro. feffion, which he knew not why be had no longer employment in, he had ocular demonftration of the Rate of (lavery, as it was called, in the Well Indies, and all that he had teen convinced him, that it not cnly was not deferving of the imputations that h a d been call on it, but that the abolition of it would be produflive of extreme danger and mifchief. Lord GRENVILLE declared his intention of at tending in his place, whenever the fecond reading of the Bill fhould take place, and of troubling their Lordfbips with his reafons for fupparting it ' • but as Tuefday would be rather m ore. convenient for him than Monday, and as it was defirable have as full an attendance as poffible he trufled the Noble Secretary of State would con tent to fix the fecond reading for that day.

Mr. PRINSEP role to cone& a sniftake which had been made with regard to what be bad (aid on this lubjea on a former oeca aoll. He bad (aid that a great quantity of French ctoirt had circu lated under this denomination, but he newer meant to fay that the Bank encouraged this circulation; and this explanation would, he hoped, (stilly thole who had bent unruly on the fubjed. Theft countareitedDoUars might fall into the Bankers bands while they were Ignorant of it. The Bill was then committed , and the --- port ordered tomorrow. ILICHEQSIII BILLS. The Houfe went into a Committee on the Exche quer Bills iffne Bill. Mr.JOHNSTONE defined to know what quantity of Exchequer Bills it was in the intention of Govern ment to iirue by virtue of this Bill I The amou n t of Exchequer'llihs already in the market was fo great, that they were at a diccount, and he fubmitted whe ther it would be pi udent under fuch circumflances to enhance this evil by a further ifrue, until the number already in the market tho.ild be diminilhed. The CHAisCELL'i, R of the EXCHEQUER could not inform the hon. Gentleman of the precife amount that it might be necegary to ;flue, but pro pored to iffuc from time to time Exchequer Bills W to the full amount of the eßimated produce of the ar Taxes. It was ampoffible at thus moment to fay, how far the immediate returns from the taxes would be adequate to any demands that might arife, or to arcertain chat might be the predure of the demands; and on the ;Trutt of there two conliderationo would necefrarily depend the amount of the Bills to be iffued. It would, however, be fatistaillory to the Hon. Gentleman to know that thefe bills would not be like the Exchequer Bills which were kept in the market from year to year, but would be iffued on the credit of a fund which mull fooner or later produce the means of difeharging them. The Hon. Gentle man mutt alfo have been aware, that the difeount on Exchequer Bills, to which he bad adverted, was con. fiderably reduced. The Bill then paired through the Committee t and on the Hoofe being refumed, the report was ordered to be received to-morrow. _ _ INSOLVENTS. The Report of the Committee upon the Infolvent Debtors' Bill was brought up. Mr. KER expreffed a wills that Tome arrangement might be made that thould prevent the ftequent re currences of fuck Bills as that before the Hoofe. It was his warmell with that unfortunate debtors fhould t (Offer the calamity of im?rifonment, but it was not incontinent with that with to prevent men who were (pending the property of their creditors in pri -I.n, from availing tbenifelves of an A& intended only for the raid of misfottune. He hoped that ef fectual proviti , n would be made againft this. and that Come meafure woulJ be fpeedily adopted that Mould rcrider fo. Aas unneceff.u . y. The Hon.

FRISS SILL. On thfo e motion for the third reading of this Bill, Connfel r the Petition againll it wascalled in. Mr. Plomer appeared at the Bar, and (poke at fume length in favour of the claims of the Petitioners. pater the Learned Gentleman had withdrawn, Mr. G. ROSE Rated the reafons which induced the propofition of this Bill. EaR India prizes had been taken into the port of Liverpool. and the cap tors were proceeding to difpofe of them, until the Cullom Houfe Officers, knowing the ad to be illegal. interfered. Thole Officer s immediately apprifed Go vernment of the nature of the cafe, and Government felt the neceUity of applying to Parliament. No ode could doubt that the Eall India Company lady poi felled the right of importing goods into this country from India; but when it was confidered that this Bill related only to captures, that thole captures were made by (cameo who generally knew nothing of the law, and that in the particular cafe which gave rife to this Bill, the captors would Coffer a lois of one feventeenth per cent. by its rejedion, he appealed to the candour and juffice of the Houle, whether it would be fair to oppofe it ? The Right Honourable Gentleman in the eourfe of his obfervation Rated, that be fart no reafon why prize captors fhonld be precluded from difpofing of their prizes at the heft markets, and it was well known that Liverpool was as good a market as London for the We Of fuch goods as title to which the Bill referred. The Bill was read a third time and paired, JUDOS 101. Col. COLE prefented a petition from W. Art Rrong and others, of the county of Tyrone in Ire land The petition was read. The petitioners dr feribed themfelves as a Petty Jury at the laf Sum mer Affixes. held at Ennilkitlen ; and that a perfon of the name of Nicholas Morrifon was brought be fore them for trial, upon a charge of murder :—of this charge the petitioners felt it their duty to acquit the prifoner, contrary to the recommendation of Judge Fox, who charged them to fin d him g uilt y .— Upon prefenting their verdict, Judge Fox manifefted contiderable difenntznt, and on the following morn ing he called the Grand Jury into Court. In whore pretence, and that of a rail amber of perfons. he re probated the condo& of petitioners, fiigmatized their charaAer, and held them forth as perfons unworthy of credit on their oaths. He alfo &retied the She riffs not to impannel them on any Jury in future, and alto to deliver their names to their faeceffors in of fice. in order that the na:nes of petitioners Ihonld be fo tranfmitted from one Sheriff to another, that they might be precluded from ever appearing upon any Jury. The petitioners concluded with twins their readinefs to produce evidence at the bar to tubast► tiate their allegations—their wills to lay before the Houle a note of the evidence. &c. upon the trial to which the petition referred, and their hope that juf tiee would be done to them in Inch way as to the wifdom of the Houfe &wild teem meet. The Petition was, on the motion of the Honour able Member who prefented it, ordered to lie on the Table. INDIA MIDGET.

The Honourable Member then moved for an account of the colts and charges, together with the net amount of all goods fold by the 'lndia Company in England, from the tB of March. 1799, to the Ift of March, .1304, guithing the vads from China from Mafe brought from India.—Ordered. CORM DILL. Mr. WESTON moved the fecond reading of the Corn Bill. The Bill was accordingly read a fecond time, and committed. Mr. WESTON 'then moved, that the Report be received on Monday. Mr. JEFFERIES obferved, that it was improper to urge forward a matter of this importance with too great hark I he alfo objaled to the principle of the Bill. The SPEAKER obfErved, that the Bill might b e ready for delivery to the Members on Saturday. Mr. JEFFERIES contended, that fill the time between Saturday and Monday was too limited for the confederation of a Bill of this importance. Mr. ELLISON fupported the Bill, and thought it might be well confidered by Monday nee,. Mr. PATTERSON hoped the Report would be put off till Monday fe'nnight, and declared that he thought it of fo much importance, that he would di vide the Houfe upon it. Mr. WESTON contended that the delay was un neceffary. When the Houfe was about to divide on this quef tion, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQU ER propofed that the Report flould be received onTuef. day, which might accommodate all parties. There would probably on Monday be fo much bofisefa, that on that day there would frame!) , be fufficiest time to difeufs it. This was agreed tot and the Re port was ordered to be received on Tuefday nut. 151514 AFFAIR!: A Clerk from the 161 h Treafury prefented at the Bar (purfuaat to order) an account of the Calls Ba lances in the hands of the Collators of the Cams and Escife in Ireland on the sth and what January, 'Boa, according as the fame was reported by the Clerk of the Revenue to the Irim Treafury.—Order ed to lie on the table.

Mr. JAMES STUART (poke in fupport of Co. lonel Hutchinfon's oblation,. Mr. FOSTER contended, that the meafure was neither unctioaitutional nor fingular in the fmalleft degree. • It was aot unconßitutional, as the tar was laid on the regiftry of the freehold once, and was not an annual duty. It therefore took nothing from the right of franchife, and, if there was any bardfliip, it was not on the tax, but in the oeceffity impofed, ex. clufively, upon bilk freeholders, of regiftering their freeholds by affidavit. fix mouths before they could 'setae the rights of voting. The fame was not re quired in England ; but then this was of the fame na. cure, precifely. as the Ramp duty upon all public documents, and all affidavits (worn before perfons authorized to take them. He referred to the know. ledge of tbofe who were beg acquainted with his re gard to the dative franchife in Ireland, whether be was oot always peculiarly friendly.to it. It had been reprefented that the claufe would operate with pecu liar hardthip upon the poorer dcfcription of freehold ers; and as he walled that the produce of the taz fhould be obtained from the coffers, of the rich, he (bould have no objection to poßpone the tax for the preterit, until the nature of it fho uld be properly un. derftood in Ireland. The Caine objeaions had been urged by Gentlemen in a former Rage, when his propolition was approved of by a large majority.— He doubted not but a fimilar majority would vote whit him this night, were he difpofed to pulh it to a divifion ; but, having yielded to their requeft, he had reafon to espea, in his min, that the opponents of the Bill would confer a favour upon him, namely. that on their return to their conftituents, they would difpofe them, as much as poflible, to give facility to the colleaion of the ot her taxes, and particularly that they would difeountenance, as far as lay in their power, the private Rills, which were Co injurious to the iotereax of the revenue. Mr. MARTIN (of Galway) (aid, that he knew the tax to be oppopular in Ireland, not on account of an nivrallinisiefir in the people to contribute to the apnea of setecelliry and unavoidable war, but bee n& the power beeholden con fi de:6d it as an at. tack awn ;heir framagfes. The claufe was that withdrawn, the ether clau to fe agreed - 10, and dattlWl ordered to be reported . • Mr. FOSTER dies moved for leave to bring in a Bill for an Enquiry into the Fees. Emoluments, and any Abates that might have Oiled in the. Offices of Ireland. 'Mr. CORRY gave notice, that in the bringing in of. this Bill, he fhoold make fome obf on Lord Hardwick's Adminiftration, which had done fo much towards correaing thefe abufes. Mr. FOSTER replied, that no Bill of this kind thould be eonfidered as bearing bard upon an Ad mintfiration which he conceived to have done its duty. Mr. FOSTER afterwards gave notice, that to morrow he fhould make a motion relative to the la ver notes in Ireland. —Adjourned. LONDON. FRIDAY, ST. PATTI. ♦NC ST. PAUL...
