Mr. FRANCIS confidered the . lotriidtietiorr of .to litany as to,ooo Foreign Soldiers for the• 'defence of this country as a matter of high moinniii and very great importance, and therefore ought not to be par ed over as Wit Were a matter of court by that Houle ; such a mtafttre might be advitable.but he dilliked the mode of its origin. He thought it would base been more parliamenutry,and more cooffitutional, to have had a mirage from the Crown on this fubjea. The preamble of this Bill did not Ilate that the meafure was undertaken by the advice of the Privy •Council, which he thought should hain been confulted on fuch a dep. He thought diefe were material omiffions in the manner of introducing this bufinefs. Such a mature as the prefent was generally regarded by our anceftors as - dangerous, and mull always be look ed On with fulpicion. It ought nut in the climates to have been fo mixed with other matters, but Come thing Ibould have Wen Rated upon it, by the perfon bringing it forward. He could not confider the cli mate as fufficient notice; tine it was not a cover for the demand, as in point of expence it was not much more than half the charge. Would the Houfe allow Foreign Troop to be brought into this country with. out a regular parliamentary difcullion on the fubjett ? There was another point on which he would fay a few words. The Bill enabled his Majelly to grant comtniffions to Roman Catholics. No man' could imagine that knew him, that he felt any unfair.pre judices againft others, on the (core of their religion ; but he mull fay, that it was peculiarly (Irange, that, at a time when the Nobility and Gentry of the coun try, animated by a fenfe of patriotifm and • loyalty, were many of them refuted commilions becaufe they happened to be Roman Catholics, we fhould Ice loch an extenfion of power given fly grant commiffions to foreigners, who were Roman Catholics. As to the employment of there troopi here. he mull think that our own people were the finch to defend our awn country. Government, he underdood, were now fending out large bodies of Brain) troops to Ceylon. Might not the foreign troops anfwer that purpofe ? Had they not been employed formerly in America ? Mr. W. DUNDAS, in repty, obferved, that the making . public the defign of rioting a numerous corps of foreigners would have efelroyed the ;Aka. once it would have given info:illation to the enemy, who would therefore have adopted means of prevention. With refpet to what had been (aid on the bead of rtligion, the (host anfwer was this: they were foreign troops, and therefore mull have foreign officers. ' As to the fending them to India, lie rather thought, even in the Honourable Gentleman's way of viewing the fubjeel, they were lets likely to be hurtful here, than in diltant pottations • but there was another reafon againft the lending ;hem to India ; they were only enlilied for the war. Colonel HUTCHINSON (poke with animation on the duty and advantages of defending ourfelves. It ought not to be recorded in hilloty, that at this im portant moment,when we fight fur our all,welent for foreigners to aril us. He thought it highly impolitic and unjull to refufe military honours to our own fob jeas, ansious to diffinguilh themfelves, while we taw no danger in doing the fame thing for foreigners of the very fame religion with them. Colonel CALCRAFT (aid, that the foreigners now taken into pay were not all Hanoverians, but were men of all nations. Mr. %V. DUNDAS admitted it, and explained. The report was ordered to be received to-morrow. THR CIVIL LIST. The Report of the Committee of Supply of lift night was brought up. Upon the fiat Refolution bring read, Mr. JOHNS TONE called the attention of the Houfe to the importance of the meafure which was .{ now before them. He lamented that a topic of fuch eaniequence Ihnuld be difoilfed in fo thin a Houle. Waco a party quellion WAS before then', there was lately an attendance—of near Sao Members ; and yet now, when lb great a (urn tit the public money was to be voted, there was nut much more than a tenth of that number prefent. He :irked, could it be lup poled to make a favJurable impreflion on the minds of the pubbe with refpea to their proceedings, to know that the funs of so t,s Isl. se. tod. was voted in fo thin a Houfe to defray the A nears upon his Majef. ty's Civil Efiblithment, and alto that a tot ure annual addition of Go,cool. to his Kt/Jetty's Civil Lift was voted at 4 time of inch public preffure ? In the year 1786 it was luppoled that Come bounds were put to the elpenditure under That head. An Mull ious per- Image had (offered his expenditure to exceed his in. c in:T.. He then fubrnitted to make the molt honour :tdie fActifices, wad inch regulations were adopted as 1 r ...: it prevelit the rectirrence of Inch on evil at any future hcriod. The fubjeet was delicate indeed; hut t o ( p eak is mind with iluc ref,na. at the fame lime to pre frtve the independence of Parliamentary difcoffion, he th' tight .. r.ecetTary that he should advert to thole t gets ; and he could not fee any iiiffieient ieafon ' "?' the depar 'Aleut of the Lord thaurberlain, and that of the Steward or the Houfehold, lutist sot be'l fubjeifted to frimething of a fimilar regulation. The Honourable. Member then took a more minute view of the fubjeft, and examined every feparate head in the accounts upon the table of the ezpcnces of h.s Majelly's Civil Lift; there were feveral parts which appeared to him to be incorreftly Rated, and there were other parts in which he would rather be inclin ed to recommend retrenchment than to vote an addi tional Turn at the pre(ent moment. In the year 1785. the furn of 147,0001. was voted to defray the expences of the Civil Lift. . Confidering the advanced period of the fellion, and the , circumftances in which the country is now placed, he thought that acto,oool. was too large a film of money to kart at the Cole difpo- Cal of the Crown. Mr. ROSE maintained that the accounts had al ready been very minutely fitrutinifed and examined into in the Committee. , . Mr. W. SMITH (poke at fome length againft the Refolutions of the Committee, and olsferVed that he did not think that the prefent was a fit time to think of transferring fo great a turn as 135,0001. froth the Civil Lift, betides the valt addition of 60.000 l pro-, pored to be annually made to the Eftablifhment.— Some intimation Ihould have been made to the Hoofs before a meafure of fuch magnitude was attempted to be carried into execution. Mr. ADDINGTON.ftated that he had given no tice of his intention to fubmitfuch a propolition to the Houfe on the 7th of May laft. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER contended thatshe alteration in the circumilances of ' the times, namely, the , depreciation of the value of money, was fuch as to make the of abliftiment now propofed for the maintenance of the dignity of the Clown inferior to the former eftablifhment at, the time that it was agreed to. The I 35,00p1. which it was propofed to prevent being chargeable in future on his Majelty's civil eftabltthrnent,• naturally and fairly belonged to other accounts, to which they would only be transferred from the'aciount of charges on the Civil Lift. Mr. JOHNSTONE in explanation, ()Merced, that he thought it extremely difcouraging to the public, for the Legiflature to hold out inch an example of prodigality in the public expenditure. If we went on in the fame way, without fixing any limits, he would venture to predia, that in w few years the ex pellee w o uld be double what it was in 1786. The Refolutions were then read and agreed to. The Chancellor of the Exchequer obtained leave to bring in a Dill in purfuance thereof, and he ac quatnted the Houfe that after he brought it in, he would move That the Bill be printed for the perufal of the Members of the Houk. CORM TRADI. Lord A. HAMILTON prefented a Petition from the Deacons and Convener of Trades in Glafgow, againtl the Refolotions or the Corn Committee. — Ordered to lie on the table. On the queftion being put for the Houk going into a Committee 'on the Report of the Corn Com mittee (tame debate enfued. Mr:MORRIS and tome other Honourable Mem bers argued, that it was not fair to take an average price of the left four or five months as the Itandard for a maximum by which the Corn Trade fhould be regulated. On an average for the IA 13 or 14 years the. price of wheat was on an average at the price of 6 ts. or 61s- per quarter. That could not be lup. poled to require any further encouragement to the farmer, or to inereafe the price to the public. This was the Ilatement of the Committee itfelf in their own Report, on which it was now propoled to alter the ftandard price for exportation and importation of grain. The Committee alfo laid fomething about the encouragement of agricultme as a realon why the Houle Ihouid adopt a meathre which mutt eventually tend to raife the price of wheat in ziur public markets. Might not the firmer turn his attention to other branches of agriculture, if he Mould ferinufly fuppofe that the profits which be already had upon. corn were not InlEcient ? The C HANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, Mr. FOSTER, and tome others obferved, that their inten tion was to prevent any fcarcity at a future period, and declared that they did aot think, according to the alteration in the value of money, the farmer would be futficiently paid by an adherence to the regulitions which are now in force with refpeEl to'that trade. The Houfe went into a Committee, in which, le veret Refolutions were moved, of which we give the principal points which were prefcribed for the future regulation of the trade. A confiderable dircufGon took place on the feveral claufcs relating to Export. The provifions of the Bill, however, in this repel, were all agreed to. — Exportation was to be admitted when the price of Wheat was at or below Os. Peas anti Beans were to be allowed to be exported when at or under 355. and Barley at 28a. In regard to Barley, Mr. Bankes thought 26 . a more proper rate ; Mr. Pattifon pro poled it thould he fo low as 24 ; while Mr. Fofter thought 34 amid be a fairer rate. Mr. Pattifon hav ing moved as an amendment, that inflead of the words " twenty-eight," the words " twenty-four," (boob! Rand as part of the Bill, the queftion was called tor, and the Gallery cleared; but the amendment was negatived without a divifion. The Committee having afterwards gone through feveral claufes relating to Exports and the Bounties to In allowed thereon, Mr. FOSTER, at half paR nine o'clock, moved that they Ihould report progrels and afk leave to tit again, which was agreed to. The I-Eule having therefore refumed, the Chair man reported progrels, and asked leave to fit again to morrow, which wasgranted accordingly. •DDITIOM•L To:MCI SILL. Mr. FOSTER then moved the Order of the Day for the Houle going into a Committee on the Irith Additional Force Bill. Mr. J. STEWART Rated that he had no objec tion to the Bill, but from its importance was of opi nion that from the various alterations to be moved as amendments, it Ihould be printed and laid before the Houle for their confederation, previoufly to going into this Committee. After tome nhfervations from Sir Evan Nepean, Mr. IDSTER laid that be gave every credit to the !revives of the Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Stewart). but did not fee that any delay could be neceilory for the reafon that had been mentiimed, as the alterations that were propofed were All ready, and sae only meany to be 150 in the Committee. . . 're lrint Additional Foice Bill was contained ; and, upon the Honk refutning, •Mr. Fofier moved, that the Report be then brought up. Sir J. NEWPORT role co Kate his objeflions to the Bid. The SPEAKER thought proper to apprife the Honourable Baronet of the intended courfe of pro. seeding, of which he prefumed be was unaware, namely, that the Report Ihould be received, the Bill printed, and ordered for fut they ct•rt fiderat ion on a fu ture day. Sir J. NEWPORT refinned, and after a few wilds from Mr. Fuller as to the future Rages in which he would have an opportunity of delivering his ftnti ments upon the lubjeft, he proceeded to animadvert upon the injunice of appointing the Grand Juries as the organs to levy the fines prefctibed in this Bill. This he confiderecl an appointment foreign to the original infiitution of Grand Juries; and he difap. proved of it in this intlance the more, becaufe it would have the etre& of impaling the whole of the penalty upon the peafantry and the occupiers of the foil, while many other elates would be totally exemp std. The non-refident particularly would be fet tree Isom any confequences attaching to a non-execution of this At; but this was of a piece with the whole fyllem of taxation for Ireland, where the rendents were uniformly fought out to be burthened, and the ton reftdents to be exempted. Thus that country furnifhed an example not to be paralleled in any other quarter of the world, for the great landed non relident proprietors were exempted not only from , perfonal tervice to the State, but from pecuniary con ti ibution. It would not weaken his objeltion to this :prance to fay, that the generality of thofe non refl. dents came over to England, and paid their propor tion of the taxes here, for in that they did not at all enable Ireland, where their property lay, and which cootie had the firil claim upon them, to difcliarg• .her proportion of contribution to the exigencies of the Bt pare Mr. FOSTER called to the recolleaion of the Hon. Baronet, that the common law of the land mull be altered before the fefs upon land could be collated from any other than the occupiers. This was the custom, not only in Ireland, but in this country, where the pones rates were fo collated. With re fpal to the propofed fine upon any country which Ihould fail to carry this aft into execution, he would ilk by what means could fuch fines be collated fo convenient and' proper. as through the medium of the Grand Junes . Sir JOHN NEWPORT explained. The Report was brought up, read and agreed to. The Bill fo amended was ordered to be printed, and the farther cohfideration of it fixed for Thurfday next. —Adjourned.

In the Houfe of Commons, talk night, a wort Con verfation eesfued on the Report of the Refolutions from the Committee of Supply, for the Increafe of the Civil Lift, to the amount mentioned in yeller day's Papers. The meafure, however, paffed with out any slivifion ; and a Bill was ordered in conies (pence of the fame. The Gaulle of laR night contains a tranflation of 'an Imperial Ukafe, atted by the Emperor of Russia on the 7th of May. by which, all perfnns entering the Ruffian frontiers are ordered to be provided with paffports from the Imperial Minifters or other Agents refiding in Foreign Countries. Per. Eons coming from places where there are no Ruffian Agents, mull produce pairports from the Governors or Chid Officers of the places from which they fct nut; but paffports from Inferior Officers, Country lattices, or CommmiiTtoners, or from the Ma giitrates, will not be acknowledged. This or der is of fo general a nature, that it cannt t be foppofed to have any immediate relation to the mifunderßanding between Mafia and France : its objeet, however, may be eafily conceived after what happened lately ar Baden. In our fiat p tge we have given fume farther ex crafts from the Paris Journals.

Neither England not the Duke D'Emost Iva is itn, plicated by the IA trials at Paris, which proves that the plots lately invented were not teal, or at lead that they were of a nature totally different from what the Public Accufer reprefeoted in his fpeech.
