POOR. _ _ Mr. NF WDOLT moved the order of the day for a Committee on the Bill relative to relieving Poor Perfons, not wearing Badges. On the Qffeftion for the SPEAKER leaving the Chair, Sir Wm. ELFORD laid, that be wifhcd to fay a very few words before the Houfe went into a Com mittee, which he hoped would be the hilt time he should have occafion to call their attention to the prelent fubjeFt, becaufe the alteration propofed by his Hon. and Learned Friend in the provifions of the Bill, would, in his mind, do away the objec tions he had heretofore urged. Some compli ments, he laid, had been made to the Hon. Gen tleman who brought forward this meafure, on the purity of his motives: if he had not paid him that tribute, it was becaufe he fuppofed it impotrible any one could attribute to him any but honourable motives for his condat. He tiufted, however, that the Houfe and the Public were inclined to view with the fame candour, the motives of thole who had not oppoled, but promoted a difcullion of the Qt_reltion. It would be recollected that they had, from the beginning, admitted, that an evil exilt ed, to which it was neeellary a remedy fhould be applied, and the only queftion was, what the na ture, extent, and duration of that remedy ought to be?, Another doubt had alfo been propoled, whether it was a wife and prudent [Lep totally to do away a regulation of very long !landing, which bad been enacted by our predeceffors with a view of inducing habits of induftry and economy in the lower clafs of people ? He particularly called the attention of the Houfe to thefe circumflances, be cattle fume opinions had been thrown out, the ten dency of which was to infinuate that thole who provoked the difeuffion of the meafure, had not flat ftrong feeling for the diftreffes of the Poor, and that full fenfe of the loyalty and patience with which they had concluded themfelves, during the very fevere trials which they had lately experien ce 1; opinions Inch as thefe from fome quarters rni.7ht he realonably expected, and therefore be heard them without much emotion; but from another quarter they could not be liflened to, for various rettfons, without a confiderable degree of mortifi- cation and regret. The Houfe would naturally ' conclude, that he meant to allude to what had fallen from his Right Hon. Friend on a former irwcAion, when the encomiums which were lavill ed on the exemplary conduct of the people during the late prelfure, might lead to an inference that thole who differed from him had nut the fame kind f feelings with Wmfelf on that fubjea. lie W.IS fare it was quite unncceflary to (late, that he triew tie honourable and 'pit feelings of his Right llon. *Friend too well, to fuppofe that he defigned to mike any fuch charges; but as that kind of im did not appear neceflarily to arife from rny that had preceded it, and as it could rant lie :.:I , ;•, , Ced that any light or groundlcf. opi nions be delivered It orn that quarter, the in- I.:I enc.: lie had alluded to would moil probably he which would tend to weaken the influence :.0,1 tuithi rity of thol: Hon.

He repeated, di.,: nothing could be farther lions his nond t it ti% xttributc fucia intentions to his Right I -Tor. 1 ri,:rl.l; but he thought it riecuffnry to lay t...t, few %%,,,ds, in order to do away the impref tom v what he had referred to might other wile have mAcie on the public mind. He sviilied idib to add, that the difeufflon of this fubjcet had Leer produMive of that for which it had been initi t..:,d—a pr.tty confiderable invelligation of the 1;,•.;.a, and a very materi.il alteration in the pro ti.:. us of tile 1111, to %shit h, as it would nut% Wind, l c v iircaslr to give his entire assent. 11.4.1 e then telilvcd itfclf into a Commi.tet.

The Poor RAtcs, wcrc in Lc yc.ar .;- 5, in the put:ll..4%mm now, he laid, from 93. to roc an increafe , which he thought, fliewed the neceffity of come inveffigation of that Syflem under which it had taken place. TheCtlANc et Lott ofthe EXCHEQN E ti raid he would not difpute what had been advanced by the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Berkeley), that it might be pro per to examine and inveftigate the whole Syltem of the Poor Laws, and make filch alterations as might appear neceffary, but lie was lure that Houfe would not ad worthy of itfelf if it withheld the adminiflering of a remedy for a grievance proved to exill, and which required immediate le giflative interference, until an oppoi tunity occur red of reviling the whole Syllem of Poor Laws.— When fedi an inverti;;Ation (hould take place, it would require all the attention of the ahlelt Mem bers of that Houfc, during a long Seffion of Par liament. He was certain, however, lie did not belie the fentiments of Gentlemen in that Houle, when he laid they would blulh it they delayed the means of alleviating any particular evil until they had inveliigated the whole Syftem, in order to in quire what particular parts of it might require the legiflative interference. When an evil was proved to the fatisfadion of that Houfc to exifl, then was the time to remedy it. The increafe of the Poor Rates had been mentioned by the Hon. Gentle man (Mr Berkeley), but it fhould be recolleded, that a great part of that increafe arofe out of po litical circumflances, and had nothing ftriftly to do with the relief of the Poor. The fupport of the wives and families of Militia Men, and many other circumflances contributed to make the Poor Rates much larger than they were before. The greater part of the increafe of the Poor Rates did not arife therefore from the Relief of the Poor, conflitutionally fo called. The Hon. Baronet, (Sir W. Elford) had, he Paid, done him but juf tice in fiippofing he would not attribute a want of feeling for the diftreffes of the Poor to other Gen tlemen. Wkat he Paid on a former evening, which had been alluded to by the Hon. Baronet, arofe from the impulfe of his feelings, on a propofition being made for delaying the meafure now before the Houle ; it was under the impreflion that pro pofition made upon his mind that he had made thole obfervations, without the remoteft intention of imputing the want of feeling to any Gentleman. He confidered the Bill as not only wife and politic, but he thought that if ever there was a juft appeal to the paffions and feelings of the Houfe, it was the prefent meafure. Every one muff know, that if the Badge had been affixed to all the Poor ap plying within a late period for relief, almoft all the labouring Poor in the kingdom muff have worn it. It muff alfo be well known, that when men become difgraced, and degraded in their own efti , mation, as every man mull if compelled to wear Poch a Badge, the moral principal became weak ened, and they were eafily led to.the commiflion of crimes which before they fhuddered at. Had the Poor, applying for relief, been indifcriminately compelled to wear this Badge, they would have become bad fubjeds, bad hufbands, bad fathers, and bad men. It was to him a melancholy reflec tion, that many of the Poor had been rendered unable, through the preffure of the times, to pro cure proper and decent apparel : thinking, as he did, that that citcumftance would alfo contribute to leffen that proper pride which tended to pre fcrve them from the commiflion of difhonourable ads, he Ihould be extremely forry if this meafure was delayed a moment longer than was neceffary. Mr. SIMkON approved of the Bill, conceiving that the Hon. Gentleman whO had propofed the meafure had very properly taken a middle courfe without interfering with the general principle. On the general fubjed of the Poor Laws, he allowed they were complicated and intricate, but he thought moll of the queftions which could aide out of them, had been already fettled, and that they had now generally become matter of fad, which admit ted of little or no doubt. He thought, however, that Gentlemen, who, with the belt intentions, brought forward meafures to meet any circum flances that arofe, were always entitled to atten tion and applaufe, and that they only erred when they attempted to grafp the whole fyltem of the Poor Laws, and to provide for every poffible cafe : he, therefore, did not agree " with the Hon. Gen tleman (Mr. Berkeley), in his general cenfure of the Poor Laws. Mr. ELL:sow thought by far too confiderable a furn of money had been (pent to arrive at the mat ! ter of fart mentioned by the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Simeon). He confidered every meafure of this nature with reference to the 43d of Elizabeth, from which he never wifbed to depart. The Aft of William 111. was made for ordinary times, and not fur times like thole which we had lately experienc ed. He thought, that if there was a wretch in the kingdom capable, for the fake of a paltry moiety of a zos. penalty, to compel an Ovcrfeer to carry into execution a Law, the breach of which was more honourable to him than the obferv;mcc, this Bill certainly ought to pafs. The Sri AK ER obfervcd, that a great deal had been Paid, which was not ftriftly in order, but as it had been allowed, he wifhed to fay a few words relative to the obfervations which had been made. With refpeft to the motives of Gentlemen, which had been made part of the difculllon, it was not to he fuppofed but that Gentlemen afted there with the purcit and bcli motives. As to the obferva- Lions made on the Poor Laws, it fLould be obferv. et!, that a different management frequently took place in different Parifhes, by which, as was the 'cafe in two Parifhes where he poffeffed property, the Poor Rates were increafed in one and not in the other.—The Aft of William 111. with refpeft to the provifions now under eon fidcration, had not been executed in many parts of the kingdom, but if executed at all, it mull be inditcriminately ; the objat of the Bill now before the Houk, was, there tUre, to make a rliflinflion, which appeared to be called for by preen: circumflanccs. Mr. BERKELEY and Mr. SIMEON fcvcrally ex plained:. Mr. NI, wrocr (Aid, the objet of the Bill was to prevent thole pet forts Applying for the means to liti.port theirs in their career of inchillrioutt exec tion from being confounded with another And wholly d;ffc rent elaf> of Pont. Mr. SHAW LLFI.b Itl; thought tLe ()Ned of this meafare miFht be attained by tut , fl it ming a fummiry determination before a Magifirate, for a pr6fecu• tion for indielment againff Overfeers, whom it ap peared this Bill was intended to protea. He did not conceive that the difcontcnt of the Poor, or even riots arifing in cont“ l uence, ought to be brought forward as an argument in favour of the prefent Bill. He thought the Poor, during the late prefrure, had been much better off than before, from the large firms liberally crntributed for their fupport, whiff' the minor payers of Poor Rates had been iniferably opprefred. Mr. NEWDOLT faid, the circuthflince on which the Bill was founded, was not th^ penalty upon Overfeers, but this, that Overfeers v;;opld be com pelled, in confequence of that penalty, to carry the provifion of the Ak% of William 111. relative to badges, into execution. Mr. SHAW LEFEVRE explained. The Bill then paired the Committee. The Houfe being returned, the Report wail or dered to be immediately received ; and being brought up by Mr. Sturgefs, was ordered to be taken into further confideration on Monday, and the Bill ?o be printed, as amended.—Adjourned till Monday.

Lieutenant-Colonel Dov Le, Deputy Adjutant General to the forces in Canada, arrived in town yefterday from Quebec, after a palEtge of twenty feven days. He brings difpatches to Government containing an account of a dangerous confpiracy having been difcovered at Montreal, the objet of which was to have produced a compleat infurrec tion and revolution in that colony. It appears that the French Agent at New York had found means to introduce about feven or eight hundred derperadoes into Upper Canada, under pretence of fettling there, who were chiefly French or from the State of Vermont, and who on a fixed day were to have aftembled near Montreal, and to have attacked and plundered that place, and afterwards to have induced the Canadians to join them. The afremblage of fuch an exceilive number of Foreigners exciting fume fufpicions in Govern ment, orders were given to apprehend fume of them, when the reit, thinking tbemfelves difcovcred, fled in all diredions, but not before fix of the ring leaders were apprehended, who made a fall co,i feffion of the whole plot. This is the fecond inflance of the kind that has ' thus been happily fruflrated during the was. Our Readers will no doubt reccllal that a perfon of the name of M.Lean, was the chief Agent in the &ft, and was executed about three years ago for the crime. It is underflood that Marquis CORNWA Lt. s has experienced at Paris a difpofition on the part of the French Government to facilitate the arrange ment of the pcfinitive Treaty ; and there is not the leaft reafon to believe that the Court of Ma drid will, on account of Trinidad, oppofe any feri ous obflacle to its condemn, on the bath before the public. Marquis CORN waLLIs and his fuite will, it is expefted, be at Amiens early next week. We cannot think that Plenipotentiaries from the principal Powcrs of the Continent, should they, as reported, go to Amiens, will have any thing to do with the Treaty between England and France, which embraces and fettles interefts with which they are remotely connefled. If they are to Aft in thz deliberations, it mull be about fume thing directly involving the politics of the Con. tinent. A Council was yefterday held at Lord HAWKES sus es Office, at which were prefent his Grace the Duke of PORTLAND, Earl CHATHAM, the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Right Hon. the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHIEgyER, Lords PELHAM and Iloamtv. His Excellency the Ruffian Arnbaffitdor, Count WORONZOW, had an interview y.;flerday with the Minifter for Foreign Affairs, at the Secretary of State's Office.
