Alexander and Cullen, on the part of the Refpon dents; when the LORD Cu* nc z LLD', after taking a view of the leading eircumftances of the cafe, and delivering Us opinion thereon, moved a propofition tending to reverie the principal Interlocutor of the Scotch Court; on which the queftion being put, it was ordered accordingly. The various NM before the Honk were forwarded in their rzfpeaive lieges, and fame private bulimia difpulid of; aim which the Houfe adjourned till to-cnorrcrw. ROUSE OF COMMONS. A Petition was prefented from the Debtors in Ilehefter Gaol, praying relief of the Houfe, which was ordered to lie on tke Table. The Bill formerly introduced by Mr. Newbolt, for enabling juttlees to empower Overfeers to grant relief tothc Poor in cer tain cafes, without obligleig them to wear the badge required by the Bth and 9th of Wilitam,was wfthdnven on account of I' me inaccuracies, and another to the fame efed introduced 'n its room. This was read a firft and fecond time, and commit ted for to-morrow. The SLCRRTAIT at WAR prcfcnted a variety of eftimates of (urns riecerary for fuck departments of the military eitablifh milt of Ireland as were not already provided for by the votes of the Houk. The papers were ordered tulle oa the table, and the Right Honourable Secretary Rated that he fhould on Mon day move shat they he referred to the Committee of Supply. Mr.Cuaav WO prefented eftimates of miließaneous fervices for Ireland for three months, the confideration of which, he gave novice, be &Quid move in the fame Committee. ASSIZE OF BREAD. Mr. Alderman Corm intimated that he would on Monday move for leave to bring in a Bill to repeal two Ads paired in the 37th and 38th of his prefent Majefty, letting the mode of fixing . the Affize of Bread. This fubjed had been taken into vet) , ferious confidcrmion by the Magistrates of the City, and, after the fullea inveftigation, they were convinced that the prefent mode of felting' the Affize was extremely inadequate and objec tionable. Mr. BABINGTON mentioned a radical defed in the mode of fixing the Mize of Bread, under the prefent laws. He reminded the Houfe that the Mize was fet according to the market price of the bufhel of wheat, and was fair between the Baker and the Confunter only, when the buthel of corn weighed about 6o pounds. But as the weight of that meafure of corn varied from 55 to 65 pounds, and as the quantity of flour and of bread which could be procured from the corn depended on its weight, it was evident that when that weight was below Go pounds, the Baker would have too little profit, and when above 6o pounds, he would have toss high a profit. It was evident that in the one cafe the Baker, and in the other the public, would be likely to be difcontented. He mentioned the difagrecable consequences which had arifen from this caufe among his Conflituents at Leicefter ; rand laid that he was at prefent difpofed to think 1 that the evil would be belt remedied by palling a law that all wheat fhould be fold by weight, and not by meafure, and by direding that the Affite Ihould be let according to the market price of a certain weight of that article. He intended,how ' ever, to confider the fubjeet further during the ap proaching It ecefs, and ha hoped other Gentlemen would do the fame. lie trolled that the Houle would attend to the points he had mentioned, tince the iliteiefts of tl._ poor were fo much con cerned—into-efts which the Houle would at all times watch over with peculiar care, but particu larly at the prefent moment, when it had witnetted, during a very trying fcareity, the exemplary for titude and patience of the lower orders of focicty. The worthy A tutit,tas, in explanationovithed to have It ur.,:erituoil that his objeft was to bring the Mize back to the mode fpecified in the 3 t ft of his prefent Majcity; and though he did not mean to fry that it would remedy every evil complained of, it would at least have the effed of placing things on a mach better footing than they at pre fent flood. SIR FRANCIS SOROFTT'S MOTION. Me. SHEitllDnli role, and adverting to the mo. tion which, according to a notice of an Honour able Friend of his (tar F. Burdett), flood for this day, oblerved that he could not help confidering this motion as one of the utmoit importance that could come bet ire the Honk ; as one which it was higl,:y becoming the Hold,: to entertain.— !•.•14,i,A leave, however, to reiiiark, that his friend had not given novice of his to heir.;; forward loch a motion until many of his friends, who would have been oil poled to give it their cordial flipper., had re turned to the. country ; and in this point of view he was arr;ious that it might he put oiF till after the reccfs. lie knew very many Gentlemen, who could not attend on the prcknt occafion, who were, • howi.v.:r, extremely derirous of being preknt N hen the dikuflion did take place, and whole pretence and lupport he was Pure his Hon. Friend wilhcd extremely to obtain. But there was another point of view in which he law additional reakins for de laying the dilcullion. The motion was intended not only to call for an inquiry into the crindtia of the late Minitlers in the prolecution of the war, but was deigned to promote an inquiry into the meatuies of their internal adminiitration ; and therefore, perhaps, it would be better to avoid filch 4.1 i feu:lion while the ncgociations for peace were depending. On thefe grounds he hoped his Hon. Fr icnd would he ready to agree to a Awn del iv. litct:,voN entirely agreed with the Hon. Mt-mhzr who fpoke 1. ii, about the propriety of itn...in:t forward the Motion for the dilcuffion of the li..nte. It was a fulijett undoubtedly of very importance, and he had the flrongell that it fleesld experience th.: molt ferious attention, and ilionld I.e dit . enikil at a time when theie WAS the P1'4114211 Of the full:ft attendance. He had liimfe:f Liam titnn the t;ili.tnee <o;' a hundred rinks to t.: prefent at the dilcitlion, bli. would not ob jca to the propofed delay. He could not help re riarking, however, in die ayggr::gate, that th ife who gave ntaicc of Motion; fic.ocntly d:(1 not pay fol:4 , 1-ot a: ..;ttion Pithy I lode in the mantle: in tlie ; mere delayed. M I ; T.;• itt preif.:ikd himfelf unne it:a;nt ed wicit .lie pre.i;r: of the motion, but if it was In 'cohort slit as reprefented, he did not fe the min iay delaying the chiculßcon. The pre fent was, in his appreh&ion, a moment even more important than any before the war or during its continuance, though to other Gentlnnen a might appear in a different light. If the queftion, then, was to be brought forward at all, he hoped if it was not infixed upon now, it would be brought forward at no remote period. This converfation was likely to be Rill farther protraeled, when Mr. M.A.Taylor fpake to order, and reprefented that it was wholly irregular, there being no queftion before the Houfe. The SPEAKER accordingly interfered, and the converfation dropped. Sir FRANCIS BuaDETT profeffed that fo far from having any with to delay the motion, he had been molt anxious to proceed with it, and was now rea dy to proceed with it, if the Houfe difcovered any &fire to enter now on the difcuffion. Having yerterday received affurances that a number of his friends who were defirsus of fupporting the mo tion were prevented from being prefent this day, he had been prevailed upon, though with very great reluaance, not to prefs the difctalion. He confidered himfelf, however, as pledged to the Houfe to bring the motion forward upon a future occafion. The Honourable Baronet a Ihort time after gave notice that he (hould bring it forward immediately after the recefs, and fhould for that purr:dot, 00 the firft day of their meeting, mat= an early day for its difcuffion. Mr. EinAsvon explained. The Bill for regulating the Ballots of the Mi litia was brought in by the Secretary at War, read a tint time, and ordered to be read a fecond time to-morrow. The Bill was alto ordered to be pnnted, and the Committee on it propofcd for Monday. The Bill for encouraging the Importation of Naval Stores from different Ports of the Continent was read a fecond time, and committed for to morrow. The other Orders being difpofed of, the Houk adjourned. LONDON. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 27. PRICE OF STOCKS TDB DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK: Confoh 673 i—Ditto, for shoe, 611.
