PARLIAMENTART PROCEEDINGS. HOUSE OF LORDS, MONDAY, MARCH is. Lord ALvaiscry, in confequence of the abfenee of the Lord Chaneellor,through indifpofitiononciated this day as Speaker. The further eonfideration of the Scotch Appeal, Lothian and others u. Henderfon, Riddell, and Co. was poftponed till Thurfday. The various Bills before the Houfe were forwarded In their refpective stages. The Report of the Committee of the Commons appointed to confider the [evenl papers and accounts laid before that Houfe was, in purfuance of their Lorillhips' requifition, prefented by Mr. Brarce pceorapanied by feveral Members. The title of the Report being read, it was ordered to lie upon the Table. Some routine banes was tranfafted ; and one private Bill, b ought up front the Ccminons by Sir Charl Bunbury, was read a fit* time. CIVIL LIST. Lord PELHAM moved, that the Report of the Committee of the Commons relative to the Civil Lift, be printed for the ufe of the Houfe, which was ordered accordingly. His Lord(hip then moved, that the Order of the Day for taking his Niajelly's Mefrage relative to the Civil Lift into confideration, be now read.—Which being done, he obferved, that in confequence of the proceed ings which had juft taken place, and in order to give their Lordthips time to penile, and further to confider the information before the Houfe on the litbjt:4l, he fhould move to difcharge the faid order, and to make a new one for confidering his Majel ty's Ist:Mtge, and fummoning the Lords thereupon for that day fennight. The immediate order of the day being difcharg ed, and before the queftion was put upon the No- Lk Secretary of Suite's fecond motion, Lord HoLL.ND role and took the opportunity to inciftire whether the Noble Lord meant to pro pole to refer his Majefty's Meffage to the confider ation of a Committee of that Houfe, or to move for the appointment of a Committee of their Lord (hips to inquire into and invettigate the fubjedt ? a proceeding of this fort he conceived to be necef fary, and he did not think the Report of a Corn mittee of the other Houle of Parliament fufficient grounds for that Houfe to proceed on. He wished particularly to know, whether or not, it was the Noble Lord's intention to move for the appoint. ment of a Committee, as it 'truck him fo forcibly that fomething of that nature was pro* to be done ? He fhould, in cafe the Noble Lord did not intend it, come forward himfelf with a propofition to that effeB. _ _ _ Lord PELHAM, in reply to what fell from the Noble Lord, recalled to his Lordfhip's recollation that he had kill moved for the printing of the Re port brought up from the Commons, for the better information of their Lordfhips upon the fubjed, which when they had perufed and confidered, they would be better judges how to decide upon the whole. With refpeCt to the Noble Lord's queftion, he would repeat what he had on a former evening found occafion to obferve, that it was open to the Noble Lord, or to any other Noble Peer who may think proper, to move for the appointment of a Committee on the occafion. _ _ _ Lord Hoee 414 n fpoke shortly in explanation, and obferved that by what fell from the Noble Secre tary of State, he underflood it was not his inten tion to move to refer the fubjeft to a Committee. Ile felt it incumbent on him, therefore, to come forward Itimfell, and on Thurfday neat he lhould in, N for the appointment of a Committee, and of courfe he &mild move that their Lordihips be !Urn mooed upon that day. Lord PELHAM then, after a few words, ap parently on the fubjeft of arrangement, moved, " that his Majefty's molt gracious Meffage be taken into confideration on Friday next, and that the Lords be fummoneJ for that. day ;"—which, nn the quelion being put, was ordered accordingly. No regular motion for fummoning the lloufe on Thurfday was made by Lord Holland. Lord HOLLAND then moved, " that an humble A .1.1...41 t.. esvpro•ritori to his Maieftv.. marine. that he will be graciotty pleated to order to b. laid before the Honk an account of the extra-I-dinar) expellees of the army. incurred and paid by the Riv,ht lion. the Paymatter Genet al of 11i; Maier ty's forces, in the year pilot, and not provided for by Parliament :"—and An, " that there he laid before the Hoof:: an account of the dillribution of the font of 2,500.0c - 41. granted fur defraying cer tain ext;:tordinaries of the army, incurred in the fame year, &c." Tilde motions, on the queftion being put, were fverally agreed to. The Earl of CARN AN VON wiflied. to learn from the Noble Secretary of State, whether it was in tended to lay any further information berme the ;Tonle, on the Cubic& of the Civil Lill, than what was contained in the Report of the Honk of Corn mon4 ? the information therein, the Noble Earl Premed to think was by no means fufficient for the thorough underftanding of the fubjeel on the part of their Lordfhips ; neither did he think the docu ment in quellion, which, with refpeet to that H Atte, he conceived to be nugatory, at all a fufficient ground for their Lord(liips to proceed upon.— Ilaving.,given his opinion upon thefe points, rather decidedly, his Lordthip again exprefli:d his with to know whether any farther information was meant to be laid bet re the Houfe He thought their Lordfhips fhould have, with a reference to the in terefis of the public, the fame opportunities of in vefligating the fubje't as the Commons; they fhould have a Committee of their own appointed to in quire, and not proceed upon a Report of the other Hotife of Parliament. The Noble Earl con cluded his obfervations to this effect, by intimating that in cue no ;lather information was intended to he laid before their Lordfltips on the part of Mini tiers, lie fhotild have occafion to move for the pro chltiou of feveral papers which he deemed neccf fay to the due illullratioa ti the fubjeet. Lord Peen AM, in replying to the obfervations of the Noble Earl, feemed to put it to the confide• ration of their Lordfhips, that there was a degree of dittienity in 'nfwering the leading propolition of the Noble Earl, as it was built upon an Ahmed knowledge of what the Report of the other Houfe • of Parliament contained : for his own part, he had no regular opportunity of knowing what the do cument in quellion contained, hut it appeared to him highly probable, that it was fraught with im portant information on the fithjeet. Independent of this, he would recall to the Noble Earl's recollec tion, that there were feveral papers and accounts ; in fa&, every thing that was deemed neceffary for the proper underflanding of the fubje&, laid upon the Table fhortly after his Majefty's Meflage was originally brought down to the Houfe. Thefe lay ever fuzee before the Houfe for the perufal and conf.deration of their Lordfhips, and thefe were documents of a fimilar nature to there communi cated to the other Houfe of Parliament, and on which they had grounded their Report. However, if it fhould appear, there were any other Accounts alluded to in the Report, (which he rather ima gined was not the cafe) than theft on their Lord thips"Pable, it was, undoubtedly, open to any No ble Lord to move for their prodnetion. The Earl of CARNARVON fpnkc fhortly in expla nation; after which, an adjournment being moved, the Queftion was put, and the Houle immediately adjourned till to-morrow. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Sir Wm. You mil brought up the Report of the Committee appointed to confider the Bookleticry Petition, which was read and agreed t0..-Ordered to tic on the table and to he printed. Ordered, on the motion of• Mr. VANSITTART, that purfuant to the order of Friday, Mr. BitAcnr &mild be &reefed to wait on the Hoare of I.orCs with the Report of al.; Committee on the P:pers rap:tiling his Majefty's Civil LiR. Some time afr er Mr.Bita co x imormed the Monte that he had complied with their 'infractions. Mr. LitAGGL brought up the Report of the Committee ap pointed to confider the Petition of the Corporatim of London relative to certain Wet Docks. The Report Rated the opinion of the Committee, that thi. Petition did not accord with the Standing Orders of the lioufe. This Report was referred to the confieicration of 3 Committee of the whole Houle to fit to morrow. Ordered, on the motion of Mr. VANSITTART, that there mould be la:d before the I foufe an Account of the Bounties paid on Corn, Meal, Flour, and Rice, importtl into Great Britain, from tha WI of Tan. Plot, to the lattit ptrioti at which the fame can he nude out. Mr. Nr'n rsr A r gave notice, that be would on - Wednefday next move fur leave to bring is a Bill to reguLte the time for taakinz up Public Accounts. The Coinmit tcws of Supply and of W. and Means were de ferred to Wednef.l..y. CITY OF LONDON PETITION. Mr. AldQrman COMBE prefented a Petition from the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Livery of Lon don, in Common Hall a:J. - emitted, (Wing the grievances full .. . Ted under, and praying the repeal of the Income Tax. On the Motion that this Petition fhould lie on the Table, Lord LE role to inquire, whether this Pe tition was figned by the Lord Mayor ;Ind the other perfons whole Petition it put ported to he, as other wife in his opinion it could not be received. The SPEAKER obferved, that the fubjeEl of the queftion propof:d by the Noble Lord had been already confidered, and it was decided that a Pe tition timilar to that now before the Houfe, was admiffible, even though not figned in the manner dercribed by the Noble Lord. The fignatures to the Petition were read. The Lord Mayor's name did not appear ; but among thole annexed to it, we noticed the names of Al ' dermen Skinner and Boyden, and Melfrs. Travers and Waithman. The SPEAKER remarked, that k might be a fa tisfadion to the Houle, to know that there were now on the Table two Petitions which were not figned by the perfints from whom they profelfed to come, and yet it was deemed fit, according to the ufage of the Houk, to receive them. The Petition was ordered to lie on the Table. ELECTION TREATING ACT. Lord BE imenv E role, purfnant to notice,to move for leave to bring in a Bill to repeal fo much of the Aft of the feventh of William the Third, as related to the ditabling perfons from fitting in that H,,nre who fhould offend againft the laid ; and to make inure effeetual provilions of the fame. To the principle of this Bill he did not fuppofe there could be any objection ; it was evidently intended to prevent the riot and excefs w!tich ton generally prevailed at Fleni,T; prellrve the health and morals of the peopie ; wac;.ileulated to feenre the frce,lmn and purity of popular Eltaions. He had at lira intended to pro poi': the repeal of this Aa altogether, but from 1 . 1 r tiler contideration, it appeared that the formel 2art of it was unexceptionable, but that the latt'r was not fufliciently explicit or effeCtive to anfwer pur pole—it was found to have produced many contra - eliSlory opinion; in the Eleftion Committees of that lloufe—to guiJe whole decifions, therefore, it was eTentially n,:eeflary to make come correft arrange ment pret ions to the approaching diffolittion of Parliament. The neceflity for filch a meafure mull !Je acknowledged by every perfun who recollected the difgraceful fcenes that had occurred during the halt eleftion, particularly in the Borough of Southwark. He felt much pleaftire in reflcaing on the affiitance the Treating AC derived fume late decifions in the Courts of Law, whets: it was determined that the value of articles fur ' niihed for eleftion purpofes, contrary to the fpirit of this Aft, was not recoverable by law. This would ferve, no doubt, to check the Publican's readinefs to give credit, and, perhaps, in conle (pence, to reftrain the Candidate's difoofition extravagance. After fome further obfervations. the Noble Lord defcribed the objeC of his propo fed Bill to be, that if any perch!) returned to that Houle fhould, on inveftigation before a Commit tee, be convifted of offending againit the provi lions of the Treating AC, he should be 4eAared ineligible to be returned on the new writ ; and that the fame penalty flit uld, on conviction, at tach to the unfuccefsful Candidate alto.—Leave was given to bring in the Bill. SUPPLIES. Mr. VANSITTART laid, that his Right H••n. Friend, the Chancellor of the EschequeT, being pi evented, by unavoidable circumilances, from at tending in the Houfe that evening, he role to putt. pone to Wednefday next, the motion refpeeting certain mifcellaneous fervices which flood for this day. Mr. CORRY alto poftponed to Friday next his motion relative to the Supplies for Ireland, in con fequence of the abfence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and from other confederations. Mr. Rosso:4 requelled to know when the papers relative to the Supplies alluded to by the Right Hon. Gentleman were to be laid on the table ? Mr. CORRY replied, that they would be laid he. fore the Houfe in due time.—Adjouined. THE CIVIL LIST REPORT. EXTRACT FROM THE REPORT FROM THE COMMIT TEE OF TH$ HOUSE OF COMMONS ON TH6 CIVIL LEST ACCOUNTS. [Continued from ydterday's P.,per.] OCCASIONAL PAYMENTS —The firft additional head that occurs, is that which relates to the dia. blifbrnent of the Office of Secretary of State for the War Department, which commenced in the year 1795, and compr;zes Contingencies, Statio nary, Metc,:ngers, and Land Tax of that Office. The Payments to Foreign Minitters on the sign ing of Treaties and. Conventions, which cunftitute the next head, amounted to a very conliderable film, totally diftina from the item for which an eflimate was formed of " Prefents to Foreign Mi nitters on theinteturn home." The article of Ex pences for his Majefty's Service, above referred to and explained, is alfo new, except as flu- :Is it may be confidered as making an addition to the eftimated charge of Extra Extraordinaries to Mi nitters at Foreign Courts. _ The Law Charges, which, previous to the com mencement of the war, were, on the average within the eftimates, have in molt of the latter years exceeded it to a very large amount. The Meffengers Bill for Foreign Journies have in molt years, and particularly during the war, confiderably advanced. They will be found till the year 1796, contained under that head. From that period, when an alteration took place in the eftabliffiment, they appear at firft partly, and at length wholly, charged under the relpedive Offices of the Secretaries (d . State. Some advance has alio taken place, and in feveral years a very confiderable one, in the charge of Extra Extra ordinaries to Foreign Nlini tiers. The Contingencies of the Offices of the Secre taries of State, both of the Foreign and Home Department (and which are particularly explained lin the Reports made by the Committee on Finance in 1798) but particularly the former, have in creafed in a fill higher proportion. Thofe of the Committee of the Privy Council for Trade and Plantations have alfo far exceeded the eflimate, even including in it the whole fum applicable to the Council at large. The refult of the whole of there increafed cx pences, as compared with the eftimate, which, in part is obvioufly inapplicable to them, amounts to the fum of 995,9081. 15. 4.14. • to which mull fur ther be added, that of 5 1,679 1. os. t Id. being the amount of war:ants ilfued under this head, but not yet paid, as Rated in the Account of Debt ; making the total excefs 1,047,5871.
