The ATTORNEY 'GENERAL, Mr. rALCRAFT, Sir CHARLES MORICE POLE, Mr. PARNELL, Mr ALEX ANDER, mut feveral other Members of the Houfe of Commons, brought up the Chancery Veils' Bill, the Ordnance Lands Bill,' the Seamen's Wages Bill, and the Irina Revenues Bill, which were read a first time. The American intercourfe Bill waa, on the motion of Lard GRENVILLE, ordered to be read a third time on Thurfday. The Irith Quit Rents 818 was read a fecund time t after a fhort cooeufation between Lord REDESDALE, Lord ORENVII.E, Lord ELDON, and the Earl of LIMERICK, as to the nature of t►e Bill, and committed for to morrow. The Bankrupt Laws Mil was mad a lecond time, and commit. red for to morrow. i ~~ I IRISH SCHOOLS SILL. In a Committee on this Bill (which Rood as a Spe cial Order of the Day), and which goes to authorife the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, for the time being, to appoint CommiMutters to inquire into the Rate of the funds for the maintenance of Free Schools io Ire land, Sic. Tome difetaion took place. The Bilbop of Offory (Dr. Kearney) obferved, he fhould have the honour to prom* an amendment to the prefent Bill, which, under the circumflances, was in his opinion neceffary. In the former Ae, which the prefent Bill went to revife and amend, from a certain lonfenefs in the expreflions, or ambiguity of wording in particular parts, it was deemed, that the chartered rights of the Univerfity of Dublin were liable to be invaded or trenched on. With tepee to a confederation of the kind, he thought there could be little difference of opinion. Their Lordfhips may recoiled, or learn from the hiflory of the country, that during a period of two centuries, that celebrat ed feminary had uniformly, in times of the greaten difficulty and danger, manifefled its unffiaken loy alty, attachment, and veneration for the eflablifhed religion of the country ; the prefervatiop of he rights and privileges, therefore, was what their Lordfhips would gladly concur in. The amendment which he meant to propofe, had the concurrence of the illuf trious perfonage, who was now Chancellor of that Univerfity, and would have his fupport that day, were it not that avocations of a different nature re qpired his prefence in another place. The Rev. Pre lite concluded by propofing his amendment in the, fhape of a fhort enacting claufe—in effed, that no thing in the Bill fhould be conflrued to extend to the Univerfity of Dublin. The Noble Chairman (Lord WALSINGHAM), obferved to the Rev. Prelate, that that was not exadly the proper time for the confederation of a claufe of the kind, as he underßood Come Noble Lords had amendments to propofe, of a nature which would re quire a previous difctifflon. Lord REDESDALE (aid, he fhould have Come flight amendments to propofe to the Bill. He then made Come general obfervations upon the meafure, of which, in its then fhape, he Rrongly difapproved. It fiat Rruck him as objectionable, on the (core of the Adt being perpetual ; when, for objects fuch as thofe to which it referred, a temporary meafure would, in every point of view, be better calculated for the pnr pole. He Ibould, therefore, have to propofe, in the way of amendment, to limit its duration to the IR of January, 1809, or a given period after the corn mencement of the next enfuing fellion of Parliament. The leading provition of the Bill, he conceived, was to authorize the Lord Lieutenant, for the time being to nominate fix of the Commiflioners, who were to inquire into the flare of the School-Revenues, Re.; and the remaining Commiflioners were, at fern, to be appointed by the Corporation for Charitable Rela tions. However, the operation of it, he contended, eventually would be, that the whole nomination would veil in the Chief Governor for the time being. Added to this, there was no neceflity for a perpetual Bill on the occalion. The Commiffioners were merely to inquire, and to report ; they were to do nothing more. All meafures of the kind were but temporary, when the inquiry was completed, the Commiffion ceafed. Here it was rendered perpetual, and he underflood the Commiflinners were to have (alaries, thus creating a new fpecics of patronage and influ ence, and of a nature, which he thought Parliament fhould not be prone PO fanftion. Further, the pro ceedings to be authorized by the Bill, would be pro. dueive of much inconvenience, :old in a way that would affect feveral of the tirfl and moll refpeeable characters in that country. The Noble and Learned Lord concluded by propofing his firlt amendment. Lord GRENVILLE, in confequence of what had fallen from the N. ble Lort; who fpnke laß,obferved, that he fhould not have thro:Fhit it wor th his while to antwer what their Lordfhips had jell heard, were it not that it teemed to contain fon:e infinuarions as to the i oirity of the motives tram which the Bill before 1 the Committee was bought forward. It was cer tainly improper thins to impute unjuttifiable motives, r before the Nobl e Lo r d was certa i n f inc h motives ex : Hied ; what was the real state of that part of the Cale to which the Nohle, Lord's infinuations were direct ed Under this Bill, a number of CommitTioners were to be authorized to perform a tedious and trcar blefome duty, and for which, in print of faft, they were to receive no falary I One of tittle Commit fioners, indeed, was empowered to ad as Secretary, in which cafe he was to receive the immenfe and lu crative falary of look per annum I this was the mighty and eztenlirc patronage of which the Noble Wdl - 7 7- eartled Lori complaint3T Neither enuld he libel revere' el the firs or moR refpedable eharaders in Ireland, by fuppofing that they would be inconve nienced by an inquiry into the modes in which they managed charitable inllitutions ! He animadverted on the nature of she amendment propofed by the No. ble Lord, which he defcribed as not tending to a temporary effect ; and, with refped to the objedion, that the Commillioners would have only to inquire and report, and no more, his Lnrdfhip obferved, that was, in general, the extent of the duty impaled on all Commiilioners. They would have to report to Par. liament from time to time, and, on their reports, the Legiflature would occafionally ground what meafures it fhould deem expedient or neceff.ory. Lords REDESDALE and GRENVILLE (eve rally (poke in explanation. And on the queftion being put, the amendment of the former was nega- tived without a divilion, as were one or two other amendments. The Bifhop of OSSORY then propofed his claufe for the preferving entire the chartered rights of the Univerfity of Dublin. Lord REDESDALE obferved, that the &mina, y in quellinn was liable to be seeded, as the language of the Bill was " all funds and revenues for the pur poles of education." Lord G RENVILLt teemed of opinion, that, upon the whole, the introdudion of the claufe propofed by the Rev. Prelate was not neceffary, and that its intro. I dudion might be productive of ccnfiderable inconve nience, in a way which perhaps could not be well tea:, fnned upon, as the confideration was one of pradlical effed. In confequence of the office he had once the honour to fill in Ireland, he had fume opportu.-1 pity of being aware of what he alluded to, and per. haps the Noble and Learned Lord oppofite might alto be aware of the fame ; betides, his Lordibip teemed to think the introduction of all a chide might tend to endanger the fate of the Bill. The Bilkop of OSSORY fhortly obferved, that, in confequence of what had fallen from the Noble Lord, he had no objedion to withdraw the claufe. This, on the permidion of the Committee being obtained, was accordingly withdrawn. Lord REDESDALE took occafion to expreft his furprize, that the Report made by the Commiffioners under the former Bill, had not only never been ailed upon, but was not even forthcoming. Lord GRENVILLE replied, that loch a confide ration did not reit with him. He could allure the Noble Lord, he bad not the Report in his potreffion, nor did he know any thing of it. The clanks of the Bill were then agreed to by the Committee, and the Houfe refuming, the Bill was reported, without any amendment. SLATE TRAOR RESTRICTION SILL. The order of the day for taking the Bill into cola deration in a Committee, having been read, Lord WESTMORI.AND renewed the objedions which he had offered to the Bill upon the fecond reading. The effed of the meafure, he contended, would be to give a monopoly to certain Planters in the Weff Indies, and to deltroy a very profitable branch of our national commerce. He argued firongly againft that part of the Bill which prohibited the transfer of [hares of Slipping employed in the African Trade. Lord GRENVILLE jufti6ed the principle of the Bill as diredly refulting from the Refolutions of both Houle, of Parliament. A traffic which was pro nounced to be contrary to the national intereft, hu manity. and policy, could not be too foon put an end to. He would admit that certain provifiona in the. Bill might bear hard upon individuals ; but their in. 'eras mu ff , as it always happens upon l arch oecafions, give way to an objet of great national confederation. Lord ELDON pointed out the hardfhip of tome of the enadments in the Bill, to which be entreated the attention of the fupporters of the meafure. He would not then offer any thing upon the general m in. ciple of the Abolition, but he trufted when it came under difctiffion in another Seffion, evidence would be received at the Bar, to prove bow much individual interefts, as well as the commerce of the country, were likely to be' affelled by the meafure. The Earl of LAUDERDALE fupported the Bill, and contended, chat the Legiflature was not to furl. fice an objet implicating its honour and chorally to the interefts of a few perfona. Lord SIDMOUTH obferved, that there never had been any sittellion with him as to the propriety, hut as to the pradicability of the abolition. He expreffed his apprehenfions that the effed of the prefent mea. lure, as well as of another Bill which had palled in the cootie of the Seffion—he meant the Bill ter pro hibiting the importation of flares in Britifh bottoms, into foreign Weft India Iflands—would be to increafe the number of flares in our own Colonies, and by that means multiply the evils it was the intention of the Legiflature to prevent. Lord REDESDALE expreffed himfelf friendly to the abolition, but thought it had been retarded by the harfhnefs ufed towards thofe who carried on the trade. In order to prevent this Bill from being a her& meafure upon individual., he fuggefted that thole words fhottld be left out which rearided the employment of the veffels now in the trade to the prefent owners. Lord ELLENBOROUGH was of opinion that the words objeded to did not legally bear the inter. pretation which had been put upon them. He con tended that notwithflanding the death or bankruptcy of any of the part owners, the veffels might Rill be navigated under the old regitter. The Houfe then refolved itfelf into a Committee, where Corn: converfation arofe upon the different claufes, in the courfe of which Lord ELLENBO. ROUGH warmly replied to an expreffion ufed by the Earl of WESTMORLAND. The latter Noble Lord moved to leave out the words tt any owner or owners." with a view to prevent the trade from being reftridcd to the prefent owners of the veffels emplo7ed in it. This was oppofed by Lord ELLENBO. ROUGH and Lord GRENVILLE, on the grounds before hated, and fupported by Lord ELDON. The propofition was negatived. Lord ELDON moved to exteud the time limited for taking oui licenfes for navigating veffels in the trade from the I R of Au. goli, to the tft of September. This amendment was alto negatived. as was bkewife an amendment pro pofcd by the Earl of WESTMORLAND, to limit the duration of the Bill 'to the end of the next Seffion , of Parliament, inflead of two years. The Bill then patted through the Committee, and was reported without amendment.—Adjourned. notion or ULPISANNUM7. A Mekage from the Lords declared their Agent le the Quota,. tine Bill and others, and alfo requeßed that a Copy of the Kapott of the Committer for examining thrAccounts of tha Exchequer of Scotland, relating to the Grants from the forfeited F.Rates, with Abitrads of the Proceedings. 'fo this part of the Melrose the Commons refolred to fend an Anfwer by McCown of their own. Simgon's Divorce Bill was committed, and after the stamina. tion of witneffea poked through the Committee. The Ordnance Land BBL the Scaman's Allotment Bel, the BA Rock Bill, the Scots Forfeited Mates Bill, sod Rodney's Annuity Bill, were read a third time and pawl.

The Bill was thee mad a e rne Ott ad pada • WIT PAY. The Report of the Committee of Supply was brought up, rels dna to the Additional Pay to the Army. General TARLETON amigo that the Cavalry Officers ought to be included In this. It was thought, it appeared, that Cavalry Officers were generally pafons of tome fortune. But this was by no means the cafe; and It was to be wandered that the drefs and accoutrements of a Cavalry Officer lame r° expeneve, that be malt (peed a year and a half's pay before he could mount guard. The SECRETARY at WAR faid, that the fituation of the Ca. vary O ffi cers was much better than Caffic;rs of the fame rank in the Infantry. He, however„ °Veered, that it would be wondered whether an additional two &Wings a day fhould be given to any Cavalry Officer commanding a regiment. General TARLETON captained. The SECRETARY at WAR then moved an Amendment in the Minute for' the Officers' Widow., by which tcot was deduffied. Colonel WOOD did not know why loch a grant to the Map of the Army Was made at all at the prefent time. It was to Noll that it would afford bet little fatidadifon to the Army, and Rill was a great addition to the burdens of the country. It would not, therefore. anfwer the Opel which Government had in view. • Mr. WINDHAM Edil, that if we were to confider the Wenn. hmt on the one fide, and the fatisfadian on the other, the ref& would be that we could do nothing. As to the fatfsfaellon of the Officers of the army, it was not dose with a view to give them fa tisfattlim. The objet was the good of the ferrite, as, by this grant, you mltht get many meritoriops men who could not other. wife beget.' Colonel WOOD explained. .• amoral TARLETON fold that his Honourable Friend (Wood) had objetked to this inmate at this amnesiac time, when the army was fb lerge. and when we were engaged in tech • year. When peace came, and he hoped that it would be a glorious toe, thin the adatiee would be @bade. But if the pay was granted, it ought to be extended to the Cavalry. The SECRETARY at WAR explained, after which the Amend. . man and the &deletions were agreed to. PUBLIC HARBOURS. Sir C. POLE moved the feCond reading of the I • Public Harbours Bill. Colonel WOOD Paid, that there was a great deal of private property conneeled with this Bill if it leaf; to extend to all the navigable rivers, and care ought to be taken that no injullice lhould be done. But ha would not oppofe the Bill till be faw what could bd made of it in a Committee.' In the mean time he alked, whether it was go he confined to the harbours of Plymouth, Pprifmouti, and Sheernefs, or to ex tend as far as be had before dated ? Sir C. POLE Paid, that it certainly was not to be confined to the King's harbours alone, but to extend alto to all harbours for commercial purpofes. But it would not interfere in the lead with private pro perty, as the objeet was only to keep the anchorage at what it was, and this had been judged neceffary from what had been obferved as to the embankments at Catwater. Colonel VEREKER walled that his Honourable -• . Friend had not ody propofed to prevent nuifances but alfo to remove them. He hoped he would in troduce R Claufe to remove the two rocks that occa fioned fo much inconvenience at Limetick harbour, which mighe be done at the expence of xoool. • Mr. HIJSKISSON Paid that this could only be done by a Petition to the Houle. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHECZyER was well convinced of the importance of giving fa cility to the commerce of fuels'a port as that of Li merick. But the thing prop•ufed by the Honourable Colonel could no be done without a grant of money in the Committee of Supply, and to introduce it here was altogether ous of the queflion. Mr. FOSTER I.4id that as the Hon. Colonel had now learned what was the molt proper way to pro ceed in this bufinefs, he honed he would not forget it in the next Seffion. Th: Bill was then read a fecond tune, and ordered to be committed to-morrow. PROVISION TOR TISK FAMILY OF LORD HILTON. The CHANCELLOR of dm EXC_. moved the order of the day for going into , mittee on Lord Nelfrot's Annuity Bill. Colonel WOOD allowed all poffible merit to the fervices of the late Lord NeWon; but confidering the ♦afl weight of public burdens pith which the nation was preffed at prefent, and particularly thole impofed on account of the army and navy, he thought the annuity of 50001. a year would be an ample provifion. He propofed that the prov &on fbould be limited to that till the national debt 'hall he reduced to a 00,000,0001. He would have an objeCtion to the s provifion being then increafed. lie adverted to what was done in the cafe of the Duke of Marlborough, when sctool. a year from the immediate reveuuei of the Clown was thought fuch a proviiinn that it could not be [offered to pals without a remonftrance; though then there was no national debt, and now there was a national debt of niswards of 500,000,0001. On theft, grounds he fhould propofe tt. limit the provition for I Lind Nelfon's famil,•to soya a year. VP-
