PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS. HOUSE OF COMMONS, THURSDAY, FEB.s. The SPEAICER Rated, that the Houfe had waited upon his Majefly with their Addrefs, to which his Majetly bad been pleafed to make a moll gracious. answer. taw BREAD BILL. Mr. Yos K 6 laid, that.in the abfence of a Right Hon. Friend of his, he was inflrated, by the Committee appointed to confider of the High Price of Provilions, to move for leasie to bring in a Bill to fafpend part of the Bill paged laft elllon refpecting the Drefling of Flour. The Committee bad recommended that Bill in conformity with the Evidence which had been given before them, but fine that period, experience had proved, that the direftions contained therein, as far as they re lated to Barley and Oats, by no means anfwered the inteations And expeCtations of the Committee— he had, therefore, been directed to move to fuf pend fo much of that Aft as related to Barley and Oats, which Motion he then made. and as the Houle mutt be aware, from the nature of the fubjeft. that expedition . woald be defirable, he hoped it might be permitted to pats through its fiveral flats with as little delay as poffible. Mr. Al derman CURTIS role to fecond the Mo tion, but he wiled his Hon. Friend's Motion had been to explain and amend the Bill, inflead of only fnfpending a part. He wished to have the Bill amended, by introducing fome claufe for punifhing perfons adulterating the Meal ; for at prefent fuch mixtures were made as were not only unpleafant, but unwholefome. By the Law, as it at prefent flood, the only punifhment that could be inflicted upon perfons who were guilty of Each fhameful praCtices, was a penalty of 51. which was impofed by a Statute of Geo. 11. He believed' the Houfe would agree with him in thinking that the penalty was by no means adequate to the of fence; and therefore he walled the Motion had lather been for explaining and amending the - Bill, in order that fome claufe to that tired might be introduced. Mr. YORKE faid, that if the Worthy Alderman had attended the Committee, he would have found that the.fubjed to which he bad alluded, had by no means efcaped their attention, and fome mea fures to remedy the evil complained of, would probably be propofed ; at the fame timeolie wished to warn the Hon. Gentleman. and the Hoare againft any rah Reps upon fo delicate a fukteft. Mr. Alderman Cu ILTIS faid a few words in ex- planation. Mr. RosE Paid, he perfealy agreed in opinion with the Worthy Alderman, that fome farther remedy againft this offence thould be introduced; for undoubtedly, a pehalty of sl. was not full ficient ; at the fame time, however, he concurred with the Hon. Gentleman who made the Motion, in thinking that it would be better to confine the prefent Bill to the objcEt which had been Elated, and to leave the fubje& to which the Worthy Al derman had alluded for further ctmfideration.— Leave was given to bring in the BilL 111314 POOR. Colonel KEATING (Member for Kildare) role to call the attention of the Houfe to the (late of the funds for the fupport of different defcriptions of poor in the feveral counties of Ireland. He conceived that the prefent mode of collet ing there funds was calculated to make the burdens fall too heavily . , on many claire*, while it did not affign a fufficient .proportion of them to other clatfes, who, by their nation in fociety, were more able to contra-' bute largely to the maintenance of the poor. He was of opinion too, that they were not managed with that fidelity, attention. and care, which were requitite in thofe who are entrufled with the management, of public charities ; and believed that the expenditure would be much morelafely . eatrufted to the Governors of the different coun t ties, and to perfons appointed by them, than left In the hands of thole now employed. He law many evils in the prefent fyftem, which be wifhed to fee remedied as foots as this could be legally effated, and for this purpofe he was refolved to bring the matter under the particular review of • the Honk. He concluded with moving, " That there be laid before the Houfe an account of the fwns levied in the feveral counties of Ireland for t.fhpperrt of aged, indigent perfons, and other defcripttons of poor at the Spring and Summer Affixes, I+3oo, and the fums in the hands of the feveral treafurers on the tft of January, tSo i." Ns. Gentleman immediately riling to fccond the Notion, Colonel KLATIVG Paid, it was not ufual in the Irifb Houfe, to require that Motions, which were confidered as Motions of courfe,fhouldbe feconded, and, he had not communicated his fentiments upon the fubjeft to any other Gentleman. •- Mr. Sit RID•N feconded the Motion. IheSvilaitit informed the Honourable Gen. demos that no Motion could be put in that Hoare; until it was feconded ; at the fame time, be thought it rigbt to fay, (though without aar . reference to the prefent Motion) that when any Gentleman had any Motion to bring on, of any importance, it was ufual to give notice of it pra. viouily.—The Motion was then agreed to. • Mr. Ybaist brought in the Bill for fufpen • part of the New Bread Bill paired laft Sc ' It was read a firft and fccond time, and ordeild to be committed to-morrow. suPPLY. Mr. Rost moved the Order of the Day for the Hook to =ruin itfelf into a Committee of *Z. jouarn Lid s .bc fhould oppok . . • plf being granted, while his Majeliy's prefent Mmiflers remained in Office. Lord Nosy,. was undoubtedly an extravagant Minitier ' but he had to maintain an army at a di lance of sOOO miles, and even then, did not expend above z 6 Millions a year, whereas the prefent Minifiers fpent more than double, and had alfQ doubled the National Debt. He would not trouble the Houfe any longer, but.he did not think he fhottld aft right.' if he gave a fiknt vote upon ibis fubje& . The Sr FAKE!, informed the Hon. Gentleman, l that tjle Motion before the Honfe was not that a fupply be granted, but that the Houfe fhould re folve itfelf Into a Committee. The Houfe then refolved Well into a Committee of Supply, Mr. BRAGGE in the Chair. Mr. Ross faid, he would recommend to the Hon. Gentleman to oppofe any fpecific Supply of which he might difapprove, rather than tooppofe the Supply generally. He then moved, That a Supply be granted to his Majefty." Mr. JottiFFV. raid, He would not then Rate his reafons at length for oppofing any Supply being granted ; if he were inclined to do fo, he believed he fhould give the. Gentlemen on the other fide Come difficulty to explain how fo much money had been expended; but he fheuld have opportunities enough for entering into that fubjed. ' He was not. difpoted to quellion the abilities of the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, but he thought him very culpable in Coffering fuck extravagance. — The Motion was then agreed to, and the Houfe being refumed, therommittee was adjonrned till to-morrow. lIRUIDAVS MOTION. Mr. Susasoaw fait!, Be. had this morning re ceived a note from a Right Hon. Gentleman, re quelling that the. Motion, of which h 3 -had given, notice fur this day, might be pot off, in conic quence of the indifpolition of f rom g Hon ` Gentleman, which prevented him attencfing his duty in Parliament. Mr. Skixanum raid, the Motioh he intended was a -preliminary one, which he meant to [pilots; up, whether he was fur cefsful in it or not, with other Motions, the ten dency of which would be,-ferioufly to criminate his Majeily's Minifiers. He then pollporicd his Motion till Tuefday next. Mr. Aasor moved for an account of the Ordi nary and Extraordinary Revenue of Great Britain, diilinguifhing England and Scotland; for an ac count of the Income of the Confolidated Fund, the payments made out of it, and the aftual charges thereon ; for an account of the Amount of all the Taxes, dillinguifhing thofe laid on be fore 1793 ; for an Account of the Imports and Exports for the laft fifteen years, diilinguithing thofe from India and China ; for an account of the Public Funded Debt of Great Britain, *and of the progrefs made towards its reduction; for an account of the Unfunded Debt of Great Britain, and Tome other public papers: all of which Mo tions were agreed to. Mr. Assay faid. that next week he fhould have Motions of a firis-ir nature to lay before the Houfe refpeding Ireland. PRIVATE ■ILLS. Mr. BRAGG E Moved, that all notices for Pri vate Bills, given in Auguft and September lall, and alfo the notices given in December laft, fhould be allowed as good notices for the prefent Sefton of Parliament.—The Motion was agreed to.

The account of the Earl of IatRIRPOOL'S death, in a morning paper of yefterday,eopied into this on the faith of that paper, is not true. The Counters was yekerday at Court. On Tuefday, the 27th of Lift month, the re. mains of the Earl of Fowls were attended from his Lordfhiis's houfe in Portland-place, by the Marquis of HERTFORD, Lord BIRWICK, the.

The proceedings of she laa Court ti: era rc,id a.ad confirmed. Mr. Deputy BIRCH, after a prefatory fueeel., moved, that an humbl e an d dutiful Addrefs b. prefented to his Majclly by this Court, exticli ii , their congratulations on the important and muci: wished-for Union with the kingdom cl Ireland. Mr. Deputy Ls KEY feconded the motion. Mr. Wairnmaa, in a fpeech of contider4ic length, flrongly reprobated the attempt which wax made to take the Court by furprife, and appealed to the Mover, whether it would not have hem more fair and decoroui to have given natiee of ; motion, which involved in it fo many importat• confiderations f—Now that the meafure of at:Unio:. had been carried into effea, he finctrelv withed it might be produaive of all the benefits its warin e ft advocates expected from it ; but he had view e d it as a molt impolitic and dangerous meaftwe, and by no means calculated to consolidate the minds and the intereits of the two kingdoms ; 'nevepar ticularly fo, when he recolleatd the manner by which it had been. effected, againft the declared fenfe of the Irith nation and its Parliament, while the country wai under the fubjetion of military power ; fuels an. Union, he feared, would &pro duals; of many evils.; we therefore ought atleaft to have waited to fee - its effects, and whether the grievances of the people were redreffed, which was a confequence expelled from it. But, at a time of fuch dreadful national calamity, when we were brought to the brink of defiruaion by the grefs mifcondua and incapacity of his Majelly's Con. Tellers, it would furely become us better to can y up Remnitftrances and Petitions, praying for the difmiffal of thofe Miniffers who had fo miferably conduaed our public affairs, rather Than congra tulatory Addreffes. That Court had for eight years voted Addreffes in favour of the war; but, fuch was the viable change of fentiment even in that Court, that the Mover knew that it was impotEble to carry any queftion directly approving of the con duet of Ministers:—he therefore intended to con vey a compliment to them by an Addrefs to his Majesty Waidunan concluded by moving the previous quellion. Mr. Depaty Goonaluxas fecondedshe amend ment in an able fpeech. He obferved that the worthy Deputy now faw the finkiug credit of the Minifter ; and, as there was no other meafurc which he could retort to, he wiled to•bohier him up upon fuccefs in the Union. Mr.PoittirsoppoledtheAddrefsatfomelength. It was, he raid, by themany falffime and indiferi ' minate Addreffes of that Court, that Minifters had been enabled to purfue their dreadful career until they had nearly compleated the ruin of the coun try, and reduced its inhabitants to a Rate of ur.:s amplcd mifery and difirefs. • Mr. Deputy LINCOLN expreffed his regret thav the matter had bten brought forward, but as it had been moved, he intended to vote for it. Mr. Hoocsox delivered his fentiments at lone leulith, and particularly alluded to the Mover not having replied to any of the arguments which had been brought against his motion. After a long debate, the Court divided, when there appeared for the morion—Aldermen, 7 ; Commoners, 4.8 ; Tellers, Deputies Birch and Leekey 2.—Total 57. For the Aniendment—Al dermen, t ; Commoners, 33 ;• Tellers, Meirs. Waithman and Griffiths, 2.—Total 36;majority al. The main queftion being put, w a s carried in the affirmative. The Court.then appointed a Com mittee, affilled by the Law Officers, to prepare the Addrefs. In a fort time the Committee returned with the fame, prepared, which was read twice to the Court by the Common . Serjeant—greed te, and ordered to be fairly tranferibed, fired by tie Town Clerk, and prefented to his Majefty fitting on the Throne, by the whole Court. The Court then directed the Sheriffs, attended by Mr. Re mernbrancer, to wait on his. Majelly, to know his Royal will and pleafure, when Ife . will receive their Addrefs of Congratulation. Mr. Alderman CURTIS apologized for obtrud ' ing himfelffii early on the Court ; but the import• ance of the occafion, and the neceffity of his at tendance in Parliament, whcre.he hoped to. have an opportunity of fpeaking on the fame fubjca, would plead foe him ; he introduced to the notice of the Court, the wicked and nefarious pradtice G f mixing molt pernicious articles, and felling. them as wheaten flour made agreeable to the I,ltc Ad of Parliament ; that this practice had moll glar ingly appeared, notwithftanding the very early caution the LORD MAYOR had given: the Al derman then moved that the Loan MAYOR give diredlions to the City Solicitor to ptc fecute all Millers, Bakers, and others,. who 101 l be found adulterating the flour or breld„.4 utrooft feverity" of the lasv.—The Motion voile conded by Mr. Harper, agreed to, and ordered to be publifhed in all the papers. • ' The C,ourt ordered the Chamberlain to pay Mr. Sheriff Cadell 4001. being the fine paid by him in 1.7 r, to entice him from ferving that office. . The Court, according to annual cuilorn, ap pointed the Irifb Society, and the (landing Com mittees. . . • A number of petitions for leaks were read, and rektred to the 'Committee of City Lands to ex amine and report.—Several leafs. Were granted and Pealed. The inhabitants of Portfoken Ward petitioned the Court to take into confideration the expediency of widening the North-end of Somerfet-fireet,which Was read and referred to the Committee for letting the City's lands, to confider and report their opi nion to the next Court. The Court voted their thanks to his Lordfliip's Chaplain for his excellent fermon, preached at St. Lawrence church on the t ith of laft month, pre 'Out no his Lordfhip, the Aldermen, and Sheriffs' q dying themfelves ; and he was requefted to p t the fame for the ufe of the Members of this Co The Court broke up at four o'clock. heard fo mach in the Frenehvapers. The rearm teems however to be fufficiently obvious, if we may credit many of the letters, which (late that a Treaty of Peace has been abfolutely concluded between Portugal and France. The former, it is raid, agreed to give a confiderable fum in Moidores as the price of her fafety. It is plain that whatever might he the terms propofed, Portugal had no alternative. No force which (he could command, or this country could furnilh, would be able to oppofe with ODA that which the Enemy could bring again( her, now that the French have no German enemy to con tend with. Her MAJESTY at two o'clock held a Drawing- MOM at St. James's Palace. Previous to the company arriving, their Royal Highnefres, the DUKE and DUCHESS of YORK, vifitcd their MAJEsTiss, but did not attend the Drawing-room.
