The Bill as read a firfi tirae. Upon the motion for the fecund reading, Mr.CALCR•FT faid he did not rife to oppofe the f:cond reading. lie regretted that a permanent law had not been brought forward which might have precluc'ed the necedity of having thrice had 'recourfe to a Bill of Sufpenfion upon a fubjea fo extremely important. But he preferred even this meafore to the one recently propofed, which he confidered the boldeft, rude% and moil darin . g innovation of the Conflitntion he had ever teen in troduced during the fifteen years he had been in Parliament. lie fruited, however, it was not in tended to continue the Sufpenfion longer than till the 25th of January. He alto fuggelled the pro priety of placing informers exailly upon the fame footing as they would have been.by the Bill lately brought forward. Atter a few obfervations from Mr. Diczanson and Sir WM. DOLIEN, the Bill was ordered to be read a fecoud time to-morrow. LORD HUTCHINSON.- The CHANCELLOR ache Excumpla prefented the following Mc Page from his Majefly:— " C.,. "‘ His MAJZSTY having taken into his Royal Catilikradoo the eminent Services performed by Liniment GearentLord Hirrent sou during the late glorious and hooded in Egypt, and being dcfirous of en biss Os= m,rk °ibis Royal Approbation, undo( htg end greeting to Lieut.

ItstY to fecure the fail Sum of scook in fuck mapper as may be moft effacing for the Benefit of loleutcoant-Gerieral Lord HUTCIONSOM and his Family." The CH•NCALLOIL of the Exotic:lsla moved that his Majefty's Meirage lhould be referred to a Committee of the whole Houfe, and that the Houfe thould to-morrow refolve itfelf into the raid Committee. AFFAIRS OF TNt CARNATIC. Mr. Niceott.s laid, he rofe purfuent to his no tice, to move for certain papet _, to the produ&ion of which he hoped there would be no objeftion. His firft motion was, “ That there fhonld be laid before the Mottle a copy of the orders and in firattions given by the Honourable the.tall India Company to Lieutenant-Colonel M , Niel, when he marched his troops into t'le gardens of sift Nabob of the Carnatic, tome days anterior to the demife of his Highnefs ' • togethzr with all other orders given him up to the time he was relieved by Col. Bowler. Mr. W*LLACI Aid, he did not rife to objed to the motion i on the contrary, it yap his moll andous with. that arena ly direnfficm which might take place pa to very iyaportaat afubjeft as that which involved the events in the Carnatic, the Hoofe thonld be afforded every means which could enable it to conic to a corre& judgment. He felt very firongly the importance of the quettion : he. was glad the motion had been made, and he rea dily confented to the papers being produced and printed. He wifhed the Houfe and the couniihy fhould be fully informed, perfuaded that when the fubje& was perfealy underftood, the falls them 7 felves would be a fufficient vindication of the mea- Cures that had been adopted.. A great many ca• lamnies had been induftrioufly circulated. He did not mean to Rate his opinion, but he was defiroos it fhould not be mifunderitood. He wifhed to Rate, in jollification of thofe who had the conduit of the bulinefs its the Carnatic, that after having bellowed all the attention in his power on the pa pers relating to it, he had no heination in flying, it met his entire approbation. There was no part of the tranfaaions in the Carnatic that he did not approve, or that he was not ready to take all the refponfibility upon himfclf, for he confidered the right of the Company as incentellible, and founded upon the molt approved principles of the law of nations. He thought the means adopted were confiftent with the humanity, confideration, and generofity. which had uniformly charafterifed the Britilh arms—qualities, he was perfuaded, thole who had the conduit of affairs in India never would violate. Mr. NICHOLLS next moved for copies of the letters, papers, and propofitions to Lord Clive and Secretary Webber, upon the fame fuhjeet alto the copy of the will of his Highnefs the Na; bob ; alfo a copy of the orders and inftruaions to Colonel Bowfer, upon his relieving Lieut.-Col. *Niel, in the command of the Gardens of the Nabob. He thanked the Hon. Gentleman for the candid manner in which he had afrented to his mo. dons. He begged to be underftood, that in bring ing them forward, he meant no manner of cen lure on any man ; he had never made any ob fervation refkaing in the leaft either on the Mar quis Wellefley or Lord Clive, but the fubjed was one of fuch magnitude that be could not content ' to its being pallid over in filence. He wifired the proceedings in the Carnatic either to be avowed as jolt and neceffary, or admitted as rafh and in confiderate. It was for thefe reasons he had moved for the Papers. If they fhould be produced, it was his intention to fubmit a propofition grounded on them ; if they fhould not be produced, he should neverthelefs think himfelf bound w bring the fubjea forward. Mr. WALLACE Paid, he was perfuaded every di ligence would be ufed to have the papers laid be fore the Houfe, yet he feared, from the number of them, that it would be impodlible to get them ready. He would therefore a& the Hon. and Learned Gentleman what motion he could poilibly bring forward without the papers? If his &jell was to enable the Houk to form a judgment upon the papers, it was necessary they should be pre vioufiy produced ; if it was merely to draw from Government an acknowledgment, of the principle on which they Rifted, all he could fay wis, that the papers contained the fulleft information upon that fubje&, and any motion would be fuperfinous.— He fincerely hoped no motion would bethought of till the papers were on the table. Mr. NICHOLLS Paid, if he was rightly informed, the papers might be produced immediately. He thought the Salon ought not to dole without the fubjee being canvaffed in fome shape or other— the charaaer of the country was implicated in it. If he could have the paper he would make them the ground of his motion, if not, he would proceed without them on this day k'nnht. Sir Haute Sraac Ev move d, that there fhould be laid before the Houfe a copy of the Treaty of !nit, between the EaR India Company and the Nabob of the Carnatic, commonly called Lord Cornwallis's Treaty. Agreed to. He alto moved for a copy of a letter fro:• the reputed fon of the late Nabob of the Carnatic to his Agents, James Stewart Hall and Samuel Johnfon. Mr. WALLAck (aid, he could have no objeklion to• the production of the letter,but he doubted how far the Houfe had any right to order it. The Comecitt.t.oe of the Excirsqpsa obferved, that poffibly the letter in quellion might be a pri vate document which the Houfe bad no right to call for. Sir Hauer STRACHRT withdrew his motion. SUPPLY. The C.msticettoe of the Excites:um moved, that the Account of the Bounties on Corn and Rice imported into Scotland—of Exchequer Bills iffued on the credit of aids by Parliament not pro vided for, &c. for the year 1 Soo—of Bills drawn on New South Wales, becoming due in the prefent year—of the Eftimate of Expences for the Repair of Roads and Bridges, &c. in Scotland—of the Ex pence of the Board of Agriculture—of the Ve terinary College—of the Sierra Leone Company Efiablithment, &e now before the Houfe, be re ferred to a Committee of Supply,—which being 'ordered accordingly, he moved the Order of the Day for the Houfe refolving itfelf into a Com mittee of the whole Houle, to confider further of a Supply to be granted to his Majelly. The Or der being read, be moved, " That the Speaker do now Rave the Chair," which was carried, and the Houfe having refolved itfelf into a Committee of Supply, the Chancellor of the Exchequer Paid, that before he proceeded to propofe the Refolu tions which referred to the feveral Eftimates this day to be fubmitted to the Committee of Supply and other Ellin:tate, previonfly referred to, be thought it right to (late, it was not his intention' to propofe tefolutions to the Committee of Supply in confequence of the Eftirnates which were pre ' rented lag night; he fhouldfropole to bring them forward on Monday next. They bad reterence to Dutch Property at the Helder, and to African ffettlements and other matters. The article of charge, to which the firft Refolutson referred, was for making up the deficiency oi the Confolidated Fund up to the sib of April, 1- R 02. Out of 103,0001. the *Stud furplus of the Confolidated Fund on the sth of April, was no more than 434.0001. and it was his duty, before be sated of the Committee to come to any refolution to make u;. the deficiency, to explain as fatisfatorily as he I ii.ts able the casks dal bati 0 5%4910 chat de, Eciency. He then proceeded to hate the gene:4 heads under which the deficiency attire : the Laud Tax, payments in advance made to a considerable &tient for the Wet Docks, and other heads of er. penditure, into the particulars of which, he raid, he was ready to enter, if neceffary. He obferved, that lift year,when his Right Hon. Friend brought forward his budget, he Rated a difcount of 5 per cent. which it was agreed to allow the Contrac. tors of the Loan for prompt payment, and which brought a large portion of that Loan fpeedily into the Exchequer. He obferved alto, Exchequer Bills were ifued in iftot, for which no taxes could be provided before April lak and the cl;:bt this created in November Lift, upon which intertit wore immediately, was another caufe of defici. ency. Another head of deficiency arofe out of the ftifpended payments from Grenada and St. Vincent's, and which was engaged to be re. ceived in the courfe of the prefent year. There *tides, taken together, made up a fum of ' 2,9434561. To this it was but fair to add the lofs ariling from the ftoppage of the diftillerics. He was ' unified in fuppofing, at one time, th at the Diftillers would be permitted by Parliament to open boner than Parliament afterwards, in its wisdom, thought fit to grant that perMiffion. thought they might have been allowed to open in Odober laft, but for reafons which he faw after. wards, and which he d-, erred to be fufficient, it , was wifely determined that the diftilleries fhould not ripen until January hit. For this lofs to the Revenue he mull take a conjedture, and be should nate that at 400,000 L for it would be recolledted that the diftilleries were Shut up at a feafon of the year when they were the moll produdlive. This, added to the amount of the other five items, created a fum of 3,526,0001. To which w as to be added the deficiency on the Income Bill, &c. &c. He then recapitulated the items to which he had referred, and explained the reafon for the deficiency, on account of which the fill re. folution was neceffary. Which refolution was, that 2,676,080 L 575. told. be granted to make the deficiency of the Confolidated Fund..— perhaps it would be more convenient for him to abftain from moving one refolution before be fhould have Rated them all. The next refolution applied to Exchequer Bill outflanding, and Wiled on the credit of the aids of 1800, the amount of which was 1066,4931. 75. I Id. being the fum paid out of the public money for Foreign Subfidies, The next was for Bills drawn on account of New South Wales, and which became due in the courfe of the prefent year, and which amounted to 30,0001. The next was for the importation of Corn, Malt, and Rice, into Scotland, which amounted to 22,0821. The next was for the repair of NEli. tary Roads and Bridges, in Scotland. The nfual grant upon this head, was 50001. ; in the prefent cafe it was proposed to grant 6otal. to. ; foul. 14g. was paid by the Executors of the late Sir Charles Prefton. The next was the amount of the annual vote for the Board of Agriculture, which was the bum of 30001. " The next was for the sup. port of the Veterinary College, which was the fum of tsooL The next was for the support of the Bri tilh Mufeum, which was 30001. The next was w the Governor and Company trading to the Levant, &c. which was the furn of stool.—He was now come to a refolution to which he was to call the attention of the Committee - it was a fum of t toBl. Si. which he propofed to be allowed to Mr. James Edwards, on account of a forfeiture he incurred by me.uss of the non-payment of inflalments to be made by him purfuant to his engagement on the Loan of 1795. The rum of 11081. 16s. which be adlually paid, became forfeited to the public by reafon of the non-payment of the remainder. The particulars of the cafe of Mr. Edwards were to be tound in the Report of a Committee to whom this matter was referred, and which Report was now before the Houle. He prefented a petition to Par liament hit Seffion ; it was not then proceeded in, and it was fair he Should fay, that the omiffion was chiefly owing to himfelf ; he from the variety of fubjefts he had to confider, was unable to bellow on this that attention which was requifite to ena. ble bine& to become mailer of it—the bufinefs was therefore not proceeded in laft Seffion. In the prefent &Son the petition was taken up again and referred to a Committee : that Committee had fully inveßigated the matter, and the Report of that Cdianantee was now upon the table of the Houfe. The Short ilatement of the cafe was this : Mr. Edwards was a fubfcriber to the Loan of 1795 ''—he paid the proper proportion of that Loan as the firft inftalmens, but from ill health he was in duced to go out of the kingdom ; he left money at his Banker's for the purpofe of making good the remaining payments as they became due : he left the charge of the management of this bufinefs with a near relation, who was an aged parent, who hap. pened to be very infirm. When there inftalmenrs became due, they were not paid, by which Mr. Edwards incurred the forfeiture of this fum of mo ney: this was not owing to any fault in Mr. Ed. wards,but to his misfortune, arifing out of the infirmity of his parent. The objet of this resolu tion was to restore to Mr. Edwards the fum he had thus forfeited, and as it was not forfeited by his own negligence, he hoped the Committee would be of opinion he had Rated a cafe which conflitused a claim, nor merely on the liberality, but NT° on the juflice of the Committee. He Should therefore move, that the fum oft toBl. be allowed to be paid to Mr. Edwarl[s, on account of money advanced by him on the Lean of 1795, and forfeited for want ' of future payments, &c.—But he mould sow defire that all the other Refolutions, the fubßance of which he had Rated, Should be put in their order. He then moved, " that a fum, sips exceeding 2,676,6001. be granted to make good deficiencies of the Canfolidited Fund, &c."—which was put and carried, as were alto the following Refolutions for the following purpofes: For the Payment of he sue Bills ler the k r sloe, by. way of Aid foe Foreign 110661493 7 Foe the Amount of Bills draws on account of New Bomb Wales, to become due in 1101. - - - For the Importation of Corn, Meal, Flour, and Rice, into Soodand,Th the year Ilk& Foe r Military Raids, bridges, •Re. ki orth tee stis year dos, 3 0 1 000 0 0 soh 9 8 1,4 I
