PARLLIMENTAR r PROCEEDINGS. HOUSE OP COMMONS, JUNE IS. Mr. VANSITTART, on account, he said, of the Important debate that was to take place next Tuesday, on the subject of the Orders in Council, moved for a return of the real value of the a s to all parts of the world fr o m 1805 to 1 8 11 . rr t .BROUGHAM said it was a paperhe had anxiously longed for ;it would be of great consequence to the discussion. Tlure were several other papers of less importance, which he had already moved for; and which he hoped would be laid on the table by Monday. Mr. WHARTON then brought up tit *turn. Mr. BROUGHAM then observed, tiflt he should certainly flake his motion on Tuesday ; that it was his filtration to take' a general view of the subject, avoiding detail as ranch as possible; those who followed him might enter Into the minutia of the evi dence. This arrangement would enable the discussion to be com pleted in one evening, a circumstance equally convenient for Members, and useful for the question itself. Sir J. NEWPORT moved for an account of the Ligh•house Duties, particularly in the Irish Channel, distinguishing the dif 'trent ports. General GASCOIGNE thought it would be better, in the ab sence of the Irish Secretary, to give notice of this motion. After a few words from Sir J. NEWPORT, General GASCOIGNE, and the CHANCELLOR of the Excatou ea, the motion was agreed to. Central GASCOIGNE gave notice, that he should, on Wed nesday, move for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the Dublin HAI bour Bill. Mr. TIGHE moved. that an Address be presented to the Prince Regent, requesting that there he la4l before the House a cispy of any reprieve granted to Waiter Hill, convicted of mur der In February last, or a copy of any papers in the possession of the Irish Governmen . , re latiog to this subject. Mr. WYNNE did not wish to oppose the motion ; but asked whether it were consistent with the dignity of the House to enter tain such a que•tion unless the grounds of it were ecrl. fined? Mr. TIGHE said, he had been unwilling, in the absence of _ _ tLe h ish Seeretw7, - to niter into any detail he wished to itn. puce no blame to the Dille of Richmond, he A' as aware of the turbulent and disorganised state of Ireland, the necessary conse quence of a system of disabilities which se- one part of the nation in arms, at least in aaimo:ity. against the other. Ihe circurn a-ances which induced him to make ih- pri sent motion were these: .A man, on whote trial co circumstance of al'evtation had apps-r -ed, was, on the recommendation of the li.dge, and of s•ime per sons ut rank, either pardoned or repr:ev. d lie was very teitic-, taut to Interfere with the prerogative of the Crown in the e.cer else of merey ; but he had been advised to this step by sever'sl per sons of respectabihty,and by an eminent Irish tarrister. Diligent enquiries had been made atter the man : sonte said he was at it'd liberty in Dublin ; but Le had not been able to ascertain whether he was transported, or confined under a commission of lunacy, or what had become of him. Mr. Fl tZGERALD now heard, for the first time, of the transaction : hut no obstacle shocld be thrown in the way of in quiry ; he was convinced that the character of the Duke of Rich blond would be found co: rect and impartial. After a few words from Mr. Wirt; NE and Mr. Frrzcca.un, Irt explanat'on, the :notion was agreed to. Sir J NEWPORT w shed to know whether the Irish Budget 'would he brought on the 'ante day with the Evglish. Mr. VANSI I'fART understood that it would be so arranged. Sir J. NEWPORT gave notice, for Wednesday next, of a mw tion, on the subject of the Commissioners of National Education in IreL.nd: _ _ _ The Admiralty Registry, and the Exchequer Rembenibrancer's Bids, were postponed till Monday. The rest of the Orders were postponed to Monday ant Tues day nest. The notice of a motion, for the House to go into a Committee on the evidence relating to the Orders in Council, on Monday welt, (this day) being lead, the Scant:Zit asked wl.at was to be done with it ?

Mr. COURTENAY moved, that the Returns of the Non resident and Resident Clergy be printed.—Ordered. The Sugar Drawback Bill was brought in, and read a first time. Mr. BROUGHAM moved for a return of the duties on Sea policies issued in London, for the last four years, distinguishing the Ss. and is. Ad. duty. . . . . . Mr. VANSITTAR proposed that the fourth year should end in January, 1812.--Mr. IiaouGUAM absented. The motion was agreed to. The House then went Into Committee on the Orders in Coun cil, to enable two persons to correct their evidence. 'the Report was then brought up, and the Committee postponed till Monday.

Saturday another meeting took place at Fife-House between Lords LIVERPOOL and CAsTLEREAon, and several Gentlemen connected with the trade to Ame rica, on the important subjects of the Orders in Coun• cil. Their reception was highly flattering, and addi tional hopes were held out, that the'effect of some mo dification of the Orders in Council would be tried.— Lord LIVERPOOL, in the course of conversation, put the question—" If the British Government were to rescind the Orders in Council, is it not probable that Ame. rica would rise in her demands 1" His Lordship was answered, that the Deputation would be glad if a trial was made, by repealing the Orders in question on certain conditions. Lord CASTLEREAGH observed, that he hoped America would still be persuaded into an amicable adjustment of her differences with this country. While on the subject of the Orders in Council, we cannot help reverting to the doctrines which we have more than once promulgated through the medium of of the STAR. The most obnoxious part of the system, that of levying duties upon American vessels bound for France, has long ago been passed from. Why then might not the Orders in Council be entirely re scinded, and a term so odious to the Americans would then be forgotten ? By recurring to a rigorous en forcement of the old established laws and usages of blockade every object will be a►tained which can come within the contemplation of Ministers, by per sisting in the Orders in Council. We this day present our Readers with two most important additional documents, on the subject of the late Ministerial negociations, and we leave them in tkir hands without comment. We can state, how. ever, fi om authority, that the ensuing debate in the House of Lords will not be the only discussico which is likely to come before Parliament on matters arising cut of the negociations above alluded to. Mr. SinuttnAN went down to the House of Com• mons, on Saturday afternoon, with the express deter mination of givinj notice of a motion on the subject of Lord YA RNIOL 1 it's personal allusions to him in the debate of Thursday night. The house broke up before Mr. SHERIDAN: arrived, but the Right Hon. Gentkman, we understand, will atttnd in his place fur that purpose this evening. B. and C. Two Letters, (which passed between Lord MoIRA and (liter) subjoined for the purpo,e of throwing light on the ground of pact of these Transactions. B. I (COPY) May 31,1812. MY DEAR LORD—A just anxiety not to leave any think sub ject to misundetstandi, g, must excuse me tf I am troublesonic t you. Since I yti ted yen, the necessity of being precise in terms has occurred to me; and, alti,otigh I think I cannot have mistaken you, I wish to know if I am accurate in what I appre hend you to have said. 1 understood the position, stated by you as having been what you advanced in the Houle of Lords, to be this,—" '1 !,at pledges had been given to the Catholics, a de. " parture from which rendered their present di4appointment "mere galling; and that you said this in the hearing of persons " who could contradict you if you were inaccurate." lust say whether I have taken your expression correctly or taut. Believe me, &e. &c. 'The Earl Grey. (Signed) MOIRA. C. Holland House, May 81, 181!. MY DEAR LORD—I cannot sufficiently thank you for your kind anxiety to procure an accurate statement of the words spoken by me. in the House of Lords. It is difficult to remem ber precise expressions so long after they were spoken; but I.IIM sure I cannot be far wrong in stating the substance of who I said, as follows: I was speaking on the subject of the Irish Catholics, and par ti c ularly of the charge of intemperate conduct which had been made against them. I stated, that great allowances were to be made for this, considering their repeated disappointments; and I cited, as instances of these, the recal of Lord Fitzwilliam, and the Union. I then said, that the most distinct and authentic pledges had been given to them, of the Prince's wish to relieve them from the disabilities of which they complained; that spoke in the hewing of.,penons who would contradict me it what I said waslinfounded, and who would, I was sure, support its truth if questioned ; that now, when the fulfilment of these pledges was confidently expected, to see an Administration con tinued in power, which stood on the eaprers principle of re sisting their claims, was, perhaps, the bittetest disappointment they had yet experienced; and that it was not surprising, if, under such circumstances, they felt and acted in a way that all well-whiter% to the peace of the empire must regret. This I give as the substance, and by no means as a correct re_ petition of the particular expressions used by me ; and this state. ment I can neither retract, nor endeavour to explain away. If, in consequence of It, the Prince feels a strong personal objection to me, I can only repeat, what I have already said to you, that I am perfectly ready to stand out of the way; that my friendtsiall have my full concurrence and approbation in taking office without me, and my most cordial support in the Government of the country, if astir measure, are directed, as I am sure they mus always be, by the principles on which we have acted together. write this from Lord Holland's in a great hurry, and In the middle of dinner; but I was unwilling to defer, even for a minute, to answer an inquiry, which I feel to be prompted by so frhadly it solicitude for Me. Haan not the !beans of taking a copy of this letter. I shall therefore be obUged to you to let au have one; and I am sure, if upon recollection I shall think it ne. canary to add any thing to what I have now said, you will allow me an opportunity of doing so. I am, with the thmerest regard, My dear Lord, your. very faithfully, GIRT. A letter received by a gentleman in Portsmouth, from a respectable authority at Gottenburg, of the date of the 4th instant, states, that a peace between this country and Sweden is not yet concluded; but with a treaty of alliance, is expected to be publicly proclaimed in a few days. The Swedes, it is said, have demanded from Mr. Thornton, our minister, a subsidy of 100,0001. per month. The same letter states, that war has not yet commenced in Poland, and that it is generally supposed, that hostilities will be prevented taking place by famine.
