WINDHAM'S MOTION. Mr. WINDHAM, in cnniequence of what had palcd yeller Jay, found it necelfary again to podpone his motion. He wilted the liotife, however, to re mark, that this was the tirtt inflauce of his motion being deferred on his own account, as the formtr polipanernents, however numeiou., had been to ac c Immodaie others. He fixed it for Thurlddy fen sught. Tae CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER laid, he (hould have been extremely happy to have accommodated the Right Hon. Gentleman, but was any.inus to have the Budget fubmitted to the Bottle witliout any farther delay. The Mieleßeres Eletlion, he obferved, 'food for Tuefday, and there might be a &bate on it, and as the Monday would be fully occupied, he foggened the propriety of deterring that Order till Thutfday, as that day was now open by the poflponement of the Right Hon. Gentleman's mo:ion.—The Order being therefore read, it was ac cordingly difeharged, and fixed for Thurfday next. SLAVE TILDE. Sir W. YOUNG role to fubmit to the Route feve ral Motions ref - peeing the Weft India Trade. His W'n. Friend had given notice of his intanded motion for the Abolition of the Slave Trade. With this important quellion the Hon. Baronet thought the ir tetefi s of the Weft India Trade were clofely connec ted. Previous, therefore, to the difeuffion of that toeflion, it was his with to have certain accounts fubmi:ted to the Houfe, that would (hew the (late of our Trade with the Weft Indies, and what we had either to hope or fear from a meafure that would af feet them fo nearly.. He amid have been glad if any other Hon. Member more converfant in the fob jet than he was had anticipated him in the propoll• tour; he was going to fubmir ; but rather than not lave the advantage of the information it was his in tention to move for, he had taken the duty on him (elf; and as the difcuflion of his Hon. Friend's motion was fixed for fo early a day, he had, for the fame reafon, brought forward his propoutions without the forma!i.v of any previous notice. The Hon. Baronet then moved— _ 0 1 7 IIat then: he laid before the Houk an Account of the Quantity of Raw Sugar imported imo this Country from the %Veit Irdi?a, :nu: of the quantity of Raw or }termed Sugars et porte iro:a country, vri.h the duties and drawbatits on the fame. for the Lit three years, up to stet of January 18os."

Mr. TA Ml 3 FITZGER A LD role and raid, that in confe-1.1; ace of a late c!etrrn;nation of the Cann of King's Benc:i i Irdantl, uit!l relpe& to the con- Artiair.ii of an Ac - r, vied by the. I:nperial Pa-lia inert in the ;a(4 n Aft the het- Ter to prevent the el.;:tp.L. of l'erfons charge.) with fe• hit„ and other offence.s, from one County to the osier," he felt it neceifiry to call the attention of the Boufe to the foli.:et of that AC, and to lay, that he should feel great diffuicnee in hrtiv e ,i..7, forward any motion up. n a quttlion wl.ith more properly belong ed to a Right Hon. Gentleman, fo much mare comm....cut than he was to the purpofe ; hut, unlefs the Court of King's Bench in Ireland had relinquifh ed th.tt regard to their own dignity and indepen dence, which he was well affured that Court would never voinntaitly do, fotue revilion was neceffary of that An, Lk. operation of which had already ex cited, la Ireland, in much agitation and anxiety. He was proccedmg when Mr. SrEAKER regnefted to inform the Hon. Gentleman, that the ufual forms of the Houle did not allow of Gentler ten, in the fait inttanee, going farther into the detail of any queftion relative to which they intend to give notice of bringing for vat-d motions, than incrcli giving the notice itfclf. If the Hon. Member intended tech a not4e, for the prefent he would be fo good as to confine hingelf to that purpofe, as there was now no quellion for dif cuflion be•ore the Houle. Mr. FITZGERAI.D continued, that if he had not good reafin to believe, that the Right Hon. Gen tleman (his Majelty's Attorney General) who origi trolly introduced t h Bill, had an intention of again bringing it before Parliament, in order fur revifion and .1111•21CSIZIC;I:, he himfelf ce:tainly f]ouli feel it his duty fo to do. Confidering the meafare, however, in hands lio muJi snore competent to the talk, his ob jea iu r.lit,b merely to prefs th necelfity of an early prr,ceritsrc to the purple, as the col-Sequences which had :are tdy occurred had excited a good deal of Awn in Ireland. The ATTU it EY GENERAL raid, in anfwer to the Hun. Member, that he, for roe, certainly felt an amentiment to the Bill neeeicary. Bait that this opinion was not fuggeiled by the knowledge of any diteutlion which had taken place in the Court of King's Ikncli in Ireland, as he was totally uninfotin; ed with zarveet to any fuch difeufilon. Poflihly, there fore, the chie4l of the amendment which tic had in w might difappoint the expeftation of the Honour able Member. But whatever was his own Location or rt!Atill to that Bill, he Ihould not deem it right to bi hoz them f sward until tome Winds, now pen d:ng dilcullion before another Houle of Parliament, Iliould be difiurfed of. Mt. FITZGERALD replied, that he had no per fonal views. His objet merely was to obviate the evolution and alarm which this Bill had already ex cited ; aaa ht thought a power ought to be vetted in tome pert; es, both in England and Ireland, to ena ble a man charged in Ireland with a bailable offence, committed in England, to give bail there, instead of being dragged back to England at a heavy expellee, and perhaps to the ruin of his interelts, to give that bail here ; and the fame regiihoton with relpet tw perfons in England, charged with bailable offences in Ireland. He was perfedly convinced the Right Ho nourable Gentleman who brought forward this Bill, could never have had in his c-ntemplation any pur pofe fo oppreflive and vexatious as that to which it was now obvious his Bill might be conftrued to give fandlion. He was confident, therefore, the Right Hon. Gentleman would feel with him the necetlii y of amendment upon this point, and be ready to adopt i'. The A.i-ru RNEYGENE RA L. rejoined, that cer tainly no fuch effett of the bill had ever enterel ir.to his contemplation. The bill was in direct imam mi. ty with, and almost a tranfcript of, the act of the 13th of his Majetty, enalling a like tcciprocal jut ilinti dence between England and Scotland ; and it never could have occurred to him, that a law which had flood thirty years upon our statute books, without the flightelt complaint of its operation, could he objec tionable with relped to Ireland. However, he cer tainly agreed with the Hon. Member, and law the tiet.eflity of amending both laws. Mr. FITZGERALD then moved, that there be laid before the Houle, an account of the names of all perfons committed to the cutiody of the She; iffs in the feveral prifons in Ireland, fence the 23d July, 1804, ftarno the charges upon which they had been fo committed, how thofe charges were fupported, and whether upon oath or not ; with the date of their commitments and dildiarges refpaively. He Paid, it was not his with to piefs the motion now, if it was deemed out of order, but to give notice of it fur ano ther day. Sir EVAN NEPEAN laid, he.fhould ()hie& to the Hon. Member's motion, worded as he had now an. nounced it. There were many perfons contined at prefent, as well as in the courfe of the salt year in Ireland, upon charges of trearon and fedition, under the operation of the Habeas Corpus Snfpenflon to which he law the Hon. Member's motion had re ference ; but the cauls of whole confinement, or tile names of the perfons upon whole information they were fo confined, it would be tote: ly imptatible and unlate to difclofe. Even if the very nature of the charges against many of that perfons were publicly explained, it would immediately excite fulpicion againft the perfons from whom Government obtain ed their information, and not only dole up thole fources for the futore, but endanger the alfaiiinarion of fuel! perfons. So tar as the names of the pct lons imprifuned, with the dates of their committal and dilcharge, lie bad no objection to accommodate the Gentleman's wilbes ; but to the difclofure of the particulars of the charges againti thofe perfons refpeilively, he could by no means agree. Mr. FITZGERALD replied, that his ohjeft in the motion he mentioned, was merely to akei tain how the law far fulpending the Habeas Corpus At in Ireland had been adminificred by the prelent Govern ment there. For his own part he charged no abufes againft the Government, but had a very high opinion of the moderation of the Noble Lord, now at the heal of the adminidration in Ireland. He had heard that Admiaiftratioa„ by come, highly commended for its temperance in administering the law, and he had heard it as llrongly condemned by others. Knowing this to be the cafe, be, indead of being oppoled upon his motion, thoold rather have expected the Right Hon- Baronet would fecund a pitrpole lo confonant to what he ()multi conceive to be his moil cornea with, namely,th at his adminitl rotion (hold d It and vindicated, The CFIANC7LLOR of the teXCHEQIJERfaid, that if loch were the objea of the Hon. Member, there was yet an odd fart 1.1 particularity about his motion, which did not wear exactly that co:anterior. He, however, agreed perfectly with the Right Hon. Baronet as to the impropriety nF complying with the motion to the extent in whith it was worded, fear reafons which had been well explained, and that mull be In obvious to every body. To anfwer the DUrpofe daft avowed by the Hon. Gentleman, he could not mean to call for a lilt of the names of tire felons, or pertims for ordinary or trivial offences. It mutt therefore folly anfwer his purpofe to move for the names of perfons committed and dilcharged, with the dates of Inch committal or difcharge, under tile authority of toe Halrea's Corpus Sufpeniion AiEt. To this Mr. FITZGERALD agreed, and an nounced his motion for Monday. SUSPENSION OF THE NAHEAS CORPUS ACT IN IRFLabiD. Sit EVAN NEE EAN role to make his promifed motion for leave to holing in a Bill furthei to conti nue the Sufpention of t:.e llamas Corpus Ail in Ireland. In order to which he moved pro forma, that the faid Bill, with it's• previous contmu,itic3s, be now read ; and which being entered as read accordingly, Sir Evan prefaced Ms moti In by a Sort (perch. Tie raid, that under the continue.' menaces of the enemy to invade our coatis, the notoriety of the Eta that Ireland was long a leading and avmred objet of the enemy's defigns, could not be qneftioned : that a Committee of frillunen were notoriouily fitting in Paris, whore avowed objed it was to facilitate the bufinefs of a decent upon Ireland, and carry an a correfpondence with fecret traitors in that country, for the purpofe of fowing (edition, and exciting adherents to their purpofe ansonga the deluded mul titude. It became indifpenfably necefrary, in order to defeat their machinations and counterad Inch ti ea foaahle plots , to continue for a time longer the opera cons of this Bill, and thereby arm the lan Govern ment by the further continuance of an authority which had already proved fo falotary and efficacious hi preferring the tranquillity of that country; more efpecially too as the prefent law would expire with in the fhort period of fix weeks, in which cafe a number of perfons now confined in prifon upon treafonable charges mull be liberated, and left to follow their fecret machinations without centront He therefore moved 44 for leave to bring in a Bill to continue for a time longer,tnbelimited,the faid law." Sir JOHN NEWPORT, in riling to trefpafs -upon the attention of the Houle, hoped he thould not be contidered as throwing any cenfure upon the Government of Ireland, or any infinuatiim that the power repofed by the exifling law in the hands of the prefent Chief Governor of that part of the Em pire,had been productive of ar.y reprehentible abufe. He could not, however, on fo very momen tous a propollion as that, for Ilia longer fulpend ing, in fo contiJerable and importam a portion of the Empire, the moll valuable privilege of our glo rious Conflitution. fupprefs his decided opinion, that before the Right Him. Baronet called for the racist of Parliament to his intrechinien of fuch a meathre, ihmething more than mere light :?,rounds llionid have been flitted to juilify loch a propolkion. The Rate ment that an (dal Commi:tee WIS faring in Paris, avowing hoflile purp:fes for the invation of Ireland, Was furely not a lufficient reafon fee fufpending the conaitution throughout that comat y, and involving a whole nation under one difgracc:nl profcription with a few forpeded traitors ; for if the mirchief was really as extenfive as the Bill portended, fomeihiog more of. explanation, and ltroo,„oer grounds ought to be fuhmitted to Pargitinent, before their affeur was called for to the continuance of in fevcre a mcafure. —ti the continuance of fuch a Committee fitting, at Par is was tooperate as ajutlification for the continuance of fuch a law, we mull look to no other limitation lot its exillence than the continuation of the war : for if the enemy thoold perceive that the appointment of fuch a Commit:cc at Paris was to operate as a eau fe for the perpetuation of a law that millet not fail to wound and exafperate the nationei pi . ole end feelings of the Irifh people, and io far motti,l them to the purpofes of chieontent and difaffeetion, they might relt allured the enemy would be zealous to keep up that Committee, and attach to it the u:ranli pin:sic importance, it .t were oniy to create a ground of alarm, difirua, and apprehenfion towards Ireland, and thus to weaken the energies of both countries.— He had been taught from his youth to ellimate the benefits of the Habeas Ciapits A& as the moll , invaluable part of the Britifh Conflitution, and to 'think that it never ought to be Infpended but upon the flanngeß grounds: all he fhoald now fay was, i that no !itch grounds had been !hewn as yet. It was lof the foal importance, that the people of Ireland lliould be taught to feel that the Imperial Parliament j was amender of their privileges, and as vigilant with regard to their rights and light ties, as towards thole •i of the people of England, North Britain, or any i other part of the empire. It behoved the Parliament . I to ad with the mot' lei upulous precaution in palling laws fir di.legaAng to the hands of individuals, arbi i teary pewers of this kind to be exercifed in diaant parts of the empire, not fn imm e diately within t h e i r own centroel, or fo fubjed to detedion and reiponfi i Wits- for the :thole of filch powers.

Mr. HUTCHINSON agrLtd wide the Honour*. Isle Baronet (sir John Newport ), that nn realm: had been given to induce the Ilou t e to the adoption of this ttrong meafure, and he regretted that the Go vernment of Ireland thould feel it nec.efiary to call upon Parliament for fu ftrong a meantre.. Nev:rtlie lefs he mutt give his negative to the amendment. Sir JOHN STUART laid it did not furptife him much that Gentlemen Iheuld receive the prop:Talon for this meafure with fo mach coldnefs; hut be hap pened, in the cootie of his official con"e ion with the Government of Ireland, to have the mclarchnly ex perience of circunattances to prove the necetlity tOr this meafure, and he had nu befit:Won, for one, to declare it was indifpenGbly requilite far the trarnr!il• lity of that country. That part of the country with which he was more immediately connthed (the pro vince of Mkt) was as eminent fur its loyalty as any other part or trelani ; hut he was far from laying that t vcry pat t of the province was to, or that oo 'confiderable part of the inhabitants were Rill tainf-: with feditious principles. On the part of the Ilya4 majority of the people of Ireland he eked for, a;of earnettly folicited this meafure, as a protettion asyiuoi the difaffeCted and difh,yal. From his own official experience he was convinced, that if the various par ticular carafes in exiitence were to be difelofed, it would direaly tend to fix fufpicion upon the partiec by whnm difcoveries were communicated to the G..)- vernnfent, gad not. only flop up the fources of future information, but expoce the lives of thole perlons to immediate affafiination, as had frequently been the cafe heretofore. For the fame reafon it was deen.cd improper at prefent to (ming to trial many of the per fens againit ..v!..ons the lirongett proofs were in exit- tence, becaufe it was deemed folk to difelnfe the names of the evidence. Mr. WINDHAM did not rife to exprefs any opi nion, whether the meafure propnied was occult:try or not ; but to alk the Houfe, whether it fhould be oaf fed without very firong proofs (hewn of its necelfity He knew that be had himfelf often voted !wince fOr the adoption of timilar meafares, both with ref - pea to this country and Ireland, but never without the Limn ell exiling in his own mind of their abfir lute necefilty. A meafure of this fort, however, was not to be v7.ted as a thing (denude, like a Malt Tax. or any other annual money Bill, merely becaufe a Ivliniller moves it at twenty-four hours notice, with out any cle.:r reafon given why the Houfe (hook! adopt it. Was the Houfe to pars fuch a meafore, without even the alledgment, much lets the proof of any fufficient ground ? If it was to be voted during the war, it might, for aught the Houfe knew, be deemed necefrary during - the peace, when any thing like a meafure of hnilility fhould be held out by France. Was the conflitution of the realm of that nature, that it could be made to flop, or be let agoing, with the motion of a feather, at the mere fiat of a Minifler ? or was the Houle to be told, when it alked for the realon of inch a meafare, that there was a Committee fitting in France, and that there were milehievous perfons living in Ireland ? Would not the cafe he alked, be always fo ?—Or, were there not mifchievons perfons alto in England ? But, if the great mafs of the people in either country were loyal, what mifchief was there to apprehend from the fedititious few, if they had none but the truly loyal to work on ? But did gentlemen really think that the exigence of a Committee of Seditious Irithmen in France, was a fifficient reafon for fuf• pending the Habeas Corpus univerfally in Ireland? such t propedition he thought a montlrous abturdi ty. Another argument offered for the meafure was, that the perfon at prefent at the head of the Ira Government, was not iiicely to abufe it. This how ever could not jullify the meafure, if abfolute cir cumaanets did not demand it—and none fuch were proved. It was frid that a part of the country wifhed for it. He very readily conceived that chafe to whnfe hands the exercife of the power was to be committed wilhed for it. It might be a very good thing for them, but it might be claire istherwile for the great majority of the people, upon whom it was to be ex ercifed. The Hon. Baronet did rot, by his amend ment, call upon the Houk to rejet'l the meafore—he only called for a Committee to enquire into its necefe• fay. The meafure was one which could not be founded upon the mifeondua of a few individuals, it mull have general grounds. A late Hon. Friend of his., who profeifed to know well the late of Ire land, not long finee declared that country to be per lefty tranquil ; and ye: now it was propofed to pats a meafure for filfpending the liberties of the people of Ireland, without any cattle whatever being thewn to warrant the Ilep. Such a principle of proceeding he could never fanetion. He thought fully with the Hon. Baronet, who introduced the amendment, that it was the peculiar duty of Parliament to be cautiotr. in delegating arbitrary powers to perfons in thc go vernment of dilant provinces, which, by their lc motenefs from the immediate fuperintendance of Par liament, were the more liable to abufes in the exer ciie of fech authority ; and however highly he was difpoled ti , think of the humanity of the Chief Go• vernor r-f Leland, he could not atfent to the motiou of the It i:4ltt Hon. Baronet, without fetcher kauw. ledge of is neceffity. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER la:d he could not fupprefs his furprife at the avowal of loch e plinciple as that expretted by the Right I len.
