Ronit.i.y and Mr. ADAM were heard for the Aopellant, id Mr. Lewes and Mr. Hoit out for the Respondent, in the iuse of Turner and Turner."-LFurthee hearing on Friday. The Irish Scheol Endqwntents Bill, and Irish Can Distillptipta 111, were read a second time. The Loan Totemic Bill, Trinity Doctrine Bill, 4Pfl alms tit brought up from the Commons. Lord REDESDALE proposed that the Amendments made by le Common' la tbp !twisters, Debtors Bill shoold be Caluidestd 1 Frici4, which was agreed to. lThe LORD •CtIANCELLOR called the attention of the logse to the gireumnance, that no provision had been made by ie Commons for those who were to carry this Bill into execu on. This part of the subject had been left to them for obvious talons; but the tact was that the Bill had come back without iy provision of the description alluded to having been made. _ Lord LAUDERD4LE moved for an Account of the Interest del on Exchequer Bills from 1798 to 1818, and that the account presented -forthwith• lie had moved for and obtained an ac mot of the amount of Exchequer Bills issued between the pe als above mentioned—and the account of interest ought to ive been produced at the same time ; but as it was net, he was rider the nkessity of thus moving for it separately.—Ordered. The Chancery Accountant-General's Bill was read a 2d tine. V4CCINATION. Lord BORINGDON rose to move the second reading of the Iccination Bill. The subject was net exactly in the ordinary rse of legislation but to say that the House was not compe , to legislate in this matter, was a libel upon its dignity, and Janet to Its feelings. The question was of a d i stinct nature, it not novel in its principle. The course was warranted by the - history and practice of our legislation. It might perhaps ,aid, • individual had a right to do what he pleased th his ' and property. This, however, was not the , sod, as a proof of this, he referred to the person who committed suicide was denied the .an burial. A man might also build a house, but, property, he could not set Ere to it without ren - - Ito the severest punishment. With the same the laws respecting Quarantine, which were : 45th of his present Majesty. A British ices where the plague occasionally prevailed, irgent business, was under the necessity of re some place appoin , ed for Quarantine, before disembark. The law had likewise in s other against the spreading of infectious disorders, as in the register of writs ;—and Lord Coke, i upon which persons might be imprisoned, among the number the writ de ktrwo am _ '. was unquestlopably an infectious disorder; documents, from which It appeared, that owing to -se exposure efshose who were inoculated with all the stages of the disorder, great numbers ' the deaths in London, one out of every ten is disease. It had been also calculated, that in century the disease had destroyed upwards of Ps in the United Kingdoms. Under these *cum •ovisionsof the present Bill would be very deservin g even though Vaccination had not been a perfect perhaps, to some of that uncertainty that prevailed in human affairs : but be rested the Bill the variolous disorder was infectious, and that a complete preservative. 'the Arse fact was the second, he read a Report of theVacelne rerted to the opinions of the College of Phyai in the capitals of the three King:oms in statement. He then stated, that he intended of the Bill, and to add two or three others. that whenever a person was inoculated, notice the Clergyman of the parish. A Noble Lord 1, that the parochial Clergy neglected their tits, and sought the amusements of market hat he could not, from any experience of his very just • but lie shoald think the Clergy very ne ieir duties if they should refuse to take a little trouble a matter of so much consequence to the health and nishioners. CHANCELLOR wished that the Bill should be ,thdrawn and another presented, as the alterations coofesseelly be made by the Noble Lord were more numerous than the thole ot the rest of the Bill. As to the notice to the Clergyman f the parish, that might be often a very difficult matter, as per iaps he might not be within 14 miles of the place of residence of be person bound to give the notice. He had no doubt the Cler 'ymen would willingly undertake any duty 'imposed upon them, with a view so benevolent as that which the Noble Lord ewer ned ; but what were they to do when they got this notice t— here was nothing on that point said in the Bill. Lord BORINGUON agreed to withdraw the Bill, but pro lilted to bring it forward next Session. I Lord EI.LENBOROUGH observed, that the whole that was ritended to be done by this Bill for the prevention of the spread -4 ot infectious diseases, might be done already by the ccnntnon fw. All those spreading, or contributing to the spr ea di ng o f ijch diseases, might be indicted and visited With very severe pu `ishment. This Bill rather narrowed than extended the operation f the common law. He thought that experiment might be tried, S he considered that Vaccination might, on the whole, do gOOd, bough he did not think it a compkte preservative from the in fction ; but it was so, he believed, fur eight years, or there houts, and it was, perhaps, sometimes apt to intioduce disorders ito the constitution. Upon the wboie, however, he thought it 'good thing ; and, as a preof of it, he had already vzccitiated sht children. With regard to the provision for putting a red ig at the tops of houses where any of the inmates had been ino dated with the small pox, and which might be called the orna tental part pf the Bill, as that bad been abandoned, he would .y nothing farther about it : but as every thing that was intend. iby the Bill was much better dune by the common law, he w no occasion for it at a il . !Lord REDESDALE positively denied having made the charge Faint the ParoChial Clergy which had been imputed to him. The Bill wzi then withdrawn.—Adjourned. ' HOUSE OF COMMONS. • A number of Bills, continuing for one year eertaia additional :iiitom and Excise Duties, were respectively forwarded one tage. The Marine Stores Bill was read a second time. Mr. WHARTON brought in a Bill to prevent the exportation f British Spirits to the Isle of Man, and to permit the impurt;.. lqa of lrish Spirits into that Islaad.—Read a first time. . _ Mr. WiILARTON brought in a Bill to enable Spencer Per evil, Esq. to hold the Office of Teller of the Exchequer, not itithstanding his present nonage. Read a hest, and ordered to ei read a second time to-morrow. The Pilots' Bill went through a Committee, and Sir WILLIAM :vans, Mr. JACKSON, Mr. MARRYATT and Mr. Rose hay ig shortly spoken upon the object of it, the Report was ordered 3 - biieceived to.murrow. On the Motion of Mr. WYNNE, a Committee was appoint. 4 .tu inquire into the fees paid to Masters in Chancery fur ci.r. tin duties performed by them, and to report the same to the lciuse. 'The House agreed to the Amendment of the Lords in the :lection Writs Copverince Bill. Leave was given to brie g in a Bill to exempt Bankers and tilers from certain Penalties.

RAMSES moved the Order of the Day for the Housc.to ,e half into a Committee on this till. -,ord ARCHIBALD HAMIL 1 ON said, be viiebed to be in ilged in giving a few words in explanation of what he Ltd ,aid i a preceding evening on the subject, whist) he was afield might we been misunderstood by several Members, as it was mist e oared in all the Newspapers. By using the word " corrupt;' t did not man to impute corruption, in a pecuniary sensc, to Nobly juke, whose conduct lad undergone a discussion, nor sold be even impute it to the Electors, but in his opinion Ins race and the Electors had acted corruptly, in a etaibtitutioid of Weistoilivan fi MK MAIN/ Prove!' to have Ora hi 4 Oboes OM be . evidince been inked ilk** hubs Other in Cornwall, spiiecotdoet opeelly . seta whuld He gave his most beartf - oneestronee sure the House meld act emmediegiywroeg such SCSAdAIOUS practices unpunished. Mr. ROSE approved of the BUS, as being the only jot eat* of reforming the state of the Radek of any ggploolly . place. Such Bills would wholly supersede the Mimosa to General Reform. Mr. LASOELLgS said, he felt rather surprised to hear a Noble Lord suggest the removal of the elestive franchise from Helstone to the. West Riding of Yorkshire. For his own part, he felt no such wish, (ipso a conviction tint lo would lead oily to riot and confusion. Mr. WHITBREAD said, the present leiee+s abject which never cold come too often' before the be trusted, that if the suggestions of his Noble Friend woltld net be adopted, that the measure suggested by another Hon. Frilled (Mr. Bank's) would be successful. In his own conscience, be believed that the history of the Country did not contain aft instance of the in fluence of the Crown being m great as at present in promising votes in that House. That undue and enormous influence was no where more notorious than In the Cornish Boroughs, and he felt happy that at length even one of those impure sources would be shut up. Mr. SWAN thought the proposition of the Noble Lord very reasonable and just, and he would advise the transfer of the Elective Franchise from any other Borough, against which cor ruption might be proved in future. He pledge fl himself on an early day to tall the attention of the House to the Report of the Committee appointed to inquire Into the circumstaLres of the last Election for the Borough of 'fregony. Mr. BRAND approved of the suggestion of the Noble Lord, and hoped many other Boroughs in Cornwall would be reformed. Mr. WILBERFORCE said, he would not at present say in whom a new right of Election ought to beinveated, but he would recommend that in future the right of Election should be trans (erred from every Body of Electors, against whom corruption should be proved. One or two examples would he the best check upon the Electors. Mr. P. MOORE was very happy that after long deliberating and debating upon the propriety of reforming the religion and morality of our subjects abroad, we had at length turned our at tention a little to a branch of our own morals at home. He would suggest nothing in particular himself, but recommended that is every case of corruption at Elections, the offenders should be par Malted, and the means of corruption for the future removed. The House then went into the Committee. Upon the subject of the first Clause, Mr. WYNNL withdrew his Amendment, and expressed his intention, upon bringing tip the Report, to move, That the representation be transferred from the Borough of Helstone to the West-Riding of Yorkshire. Upon the Clause fixing an annual income of Xto as the rate of a qualifleation, Mr. Arm RCRO3OIIII proposed to substitute 4us.; which, after some conversation, was agreed to. On the Clause respecting the-returning Officer, Mr. SWAN ob jected to the Maier or any of the Aldermen acting as Returning Officer, and thought the Sheriff of the County hutch more proper for executing that office. The House then resumed, and the Report was ordered to be received tomorrow. Mr. P. GRENFAI.L gave notice aids intention to move neat Session, that all Copper Tokens should be done away, and all Tower Halfpence should be called in, unless Ministers should prevent him by proposing some measure upon the subject. PEril'lON FROM NOT.TINGIIMoi. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT said, that he had a Petition to pre sent from the Town of Nottingham, which, praying for a re form in the Representation of the People of England in that House, seemed to him of the highest importance. Before he presented it, be was desirous of saying a few words, as the Pe tition was printed, and as one from the same place in favour of Peace, being also printed, had been rejected on that account.— The Petition was, in all other respects, unobjectionable, being signed in the proper and usual mode. He knew that the prat:- tice of the House was against receiving printed Petitions; but he could net think the rractice justly founded, either in the reaton ' of the thing, or in the attention which the House was. accord ing to the Bill of Rights, bound to give to all Petitions com plainipg of grievances : he, therefore, conceived, unless he heard ] a satisfactory reason to the contrary, that the House would con sent to receive the Petition. The SPEAKER here observed, that, according to the prac tice of the House, printed retitIOSIS had been uniformly rejtc lel: an attempt had, indeed, been made, on the sth of May, 1793, to alter the practice; but the sense of the House was de cidedly against it. Lord (;AS PLEREAGH saw no cause nor specific ground for Inducing the House to deviate from its constant practice. If the Petitioners had any grievances to represent, and seriously wished (cr the redress of them, it certainly could be no difficult matter to state them in the customary way. The obstacle was, in fact, raised by themselves, who took the unnecessary trouble of print ing that which it was merely rtspiisite to write. Lord RANCLIFFE saw no difference between printed and writtea Petitions, when the redress of grievances and the inter ference of Parliament were constitutionally sought. Mr. JOHN SMITH was aware of the practice of the House not to receive printed Petitions; yet he could not perceive that the practice was founded in the truth and consistency which calved upon the House to listen'at all times, and with every pos. bible attention, to the complaints and prayers of the People. Mr. ABERCROMBY spoke at some length against receiving the Petition, which was the more objectionable, as it carte front persons who were perfectly aware of the practice, having had, on a former occasion, their Petition in favour of Peace rejected upon the same principle. Mr. WHITBREAD, after taking a short review of the argu ments Oil both sides, was of opinion that the House should conic' to a decision, in order that the question might be finally set at rest. Mr. BATHURST opposed the receiving of the Petition, on the ground pf its being printed, which was contrary to the forms of the House. Mr. C. WYNNE was against the Petition, it having been long ago resolved, that only written Petitions should be received. So many year, practice, be thought sufficient as to the point of form, a deviation from which might lead to many difficulties. Mr. CANNING said, that if the Yeti ion had appeared to have been drawn up in ignorance of the customs of the House, he should have been induced to vote for receiving it, with a specific note of its being contrary to the usual practice. It was unne cessary to discuss whether the custom was wise and reasonable or not; for every Court had a right to expect that Its own regu lations would be contornied to. He was as on.ious as any to throw open the doors of that House to all Petitioners; but he could not think it all improper impediment, if the House decided as to the mode of their ben presented, aud refused to alter its established forma. Sir FRANCIS BURDEJT replied to the arguments against the Petition, and coutended that no good ground had been 134 on which to refuse it. The Petition had been long in London, waiving the event of the Nubia Lord's (133::cliffe) making the motion which he had put off: it was therefore sent in ignorance of the supposed customs ot the House. This was not au indivi dual, hut a public Petition. No man individually could com plain of the corruption in the Representation of that Haute : it was a public matter, and the very objtoctions furnished a ground for taking this mode in a peaceable and constitutional way.— Where could be the object' en to any set of men peaceably endea vouring to obtain the sentiments of others on an important sub ject, in order to present cloy. to the Howse. It would be his duty to press the question to a recision. As to an old resolution, the House was not bound by that which had not the force of a standing order. 'lke Belief Rights took no notice ot it, and why might no' the House of Commons he addressed in print, when by the established law the vent Y was so addressed? Atter rad. •us other observattolis, he stated his intention, at an early pe riod nest Session, to bring the subject of the Petition before Parliament. Mr. CROKER sail, they were going to divide on what was, in fact, the rule of the House. Sir F. BURDE•I'I• said it was no rule, but only a practice. Mr. CItOKER then said, it was on the praotice. Ou the eivisiou, the numbtrs were—Against receiving the Pe. titiuu, 75; fur it, 117Majuitty, VOTE OF CREDIT. On the report nt the Committee on the Prince Re gent's Message, for granting the sum ot Five Miklions, as 4 VOW ot Credit, being brought up, Mr. WHI I'BRE.AII roi.e. to make a few observe tiona‘ atter which, iu a turthec stage, should wove an Addresa to. the Wince Regent. - period of he sission Wu tar advauced, dud *re were otker real-) V• for which be did not wish to detain hepust observe, that the sum asked Last year three t=rillions were thought ; but it, had not been found enough, bad thought it would prove quite ade year we had a frightful sum for army extraordinaries, and now we were to close the scene with a vote of five millions. Early in the Session he had intimated his opinion respecting the great work of peace. Events had oecurrechnot in human con-1 temptation, by the destruction of the French army, land the consequent reduction of the power of France, Iwhich could not have been effected by merely htiman means. He abstained from proposing any resolution, well persuaded of the effect of statements, that dis cussions on the subject were prejudicial. While this 'weighed with him, he saw. no disposition to take ad vantage of the circumstances with which PROVIDENCE had favoured us; but a wild ides of reducing France not by negociation, but by force. Instead at looking to an effort for peace, when it might have been ex pected that a better peace could be made than could have been looked for many antecedent years, he found 1 the wild imaginary hope, that by the disasters of the French Ruler, he bad lost all his dominion over France, and that he was rendered totally unable to re-establish his own greatness, and to restore his mi litary fame and reputation. His armies had abso lutely been dispersed and pursued almost to theancient boundaries of France. In this crisis, instead of being destroyed, he had procured a gigantic exertion in France, and had again encountered the Allies with fresh levies. The Allies were then driven, certainly i against their will, from t h e i r positions; th ey lost two battles on the Elbe, and were pursued nearly ee the Oder. Then again it seemed necessary to interfeagi but afterwards came the armistice. Yet he abstain id from any motion. Indeed, the Swedish treaty seemed ' to throw every thing into inextricable confusion. But now, on this vote of confidence, he felt it his duty to express is moderate terms his opinions, without pres sing a division. He thought this still more necessary, if the recent intelligence from the Peninsula were, true. The misfortune was, that if France were emi nently successful, then we were told that offers of peace did not become us ; and that if she were re-1 duced in power, there was nothing but enthusiastic madness about dethroning Bonaparte, and restoring the Bourbons. The Noble Lord had disclaimed the Proclamation of the Chief of that Family ; but it seemed to be de prevailing opinion of the Court, when ever any reverse happened to France, that there would ' I be a speedy end to all her fearful power, and a dethrone ment of the French Emperor. Were there no other ' grounds for his opinion, the incapacity of .those who acted against France in this great contest, to obtain the equilibrium of Europe, would be sufficient for ' him. He saw nothing in their conduct to lead him to suppose that they could confer real benefits upon, and secure the liberties of Europe. He did not see that this object was more at heart on one side than on the other. The conduct of the Allied Powers, of Russia, Prussia, England, and Sweden, gave an illus tration of this. When the French armies were acf vancing into Russia, and one or other of her capitals was expected to be taken, the question of Finland oc curred to Russia, and she negotiated with Sweden.-- He believed, as the Noble Lord bad said, that by this she brought forces which greatly contributed to her' successes. But when Russia cried out to all Europe. against the lust of power, and desire of conquest, and declared herself the liberator of Europe ; sending out her armies to fight for the liberties of the world, and 1 the common cause of all—she might have set a great example, and produced effects, which, by a contrary conduct, had been rendered impossible. Her acqui sition of Finland was unjustifiable, and Sweden de-1 manded an equivalent for it, which was Norway, a 1 country, which it seemed absurd to speak of as a ne cessary security for Sweden. Had Finland been given back to Sweden, then Denmark might have had her dominions guaranteed ; and by that act of justice, po licy, and discretion, the three Northern Powers would have been conciliated, and might have co-operated against France; whereas a source of discord was esta b. fished, and it appeared impossible now to dissever Denmark from France. In another quarter, the prin ciple of justice might have been exhibited, by the re. storation of Poland on the part of Russia, Prussia, and Austria. If the expectations of it had been held out, coupled with the restoration of Finland, the Al lies could have put on a good face, in seeking for the restoration of the debited equilibrium. Now, he hoped for a peace on the Continent, and that the Court of St. James's would so far accede as to co-operate in the work : but not having that confidence he might wish to have iii our Councils, he should feel it his duty, when the Vote of Credit should be agreed to, to move a temperate address on tie subject. Lord CASTLEREAGH thought it, on all ac counts, bettet not to enter into details on the points noticed by the last speaker, especially as he had him self seen tit to withdraw his intended motion on the subject. The expence of the vote was certainly great, and it would be a splendid. exertion of liberal policy. He admitted that the Hon. Gentleman had shown as much forbearance as could be expected from him, considering his political views: He believed him to feel as-much fur his country's pride and honour as any other man; but his views concerning peace were rather peculiar, since he thought that negociation could always be entered upon ; and never, as far as he ( Lord Castlereagh) could recollect, was it at tempted, but that such was the temper of the Hon. Member respecting peace, that he ever considered his own Government as the patty placing impedi ments in itt way.—(Hear, hear I from Mr. Whit bread).—He did not impute to him a less proud feel ing than to any other; hut his opinions had certainly differed from those of Parliament, and of the coun try. His mind was always so tinctured on the par ticular subject, that he was always for pacific prc,po , rtions : but always against those made by his own Government.— ( Hear, hear). —The moment fur peace which our Government had always looked to, was that in which they could see the Ruler of France dis posed sincerely to enter into a negotiation for that object, with the view of making a fair peace, pro ' rinsing a reasonable duration; which should be the view of any practicable pacification. It the Hon. Member were not deaf to what passed on the other side of the water, he would have read in a formal official instrument of Bonaparte, after his A l p; from Russia, a uotification of the terms on which one he would listen to peace: among which, was. 5 3 that his dynasty must reign in Stain ! 4s. ise. Being upon his legs, he would once more suggest a clause, throw the right of election entirely out of the hands cf the ple or Hebtone, and the inhabonis of tlae adjacent hundred, to transfcr it to the freeholder'. of the West Riding of e. he Merril; of TAVISTOC!C would not orpoke the Be r l, btt- ebt the House ought not to let the present opporiun ty ins the state of our Represtniatlr in general esrope, he felt eonfldent wookilead to a Itirliarne*ary Reflux. .W.SislitTli said, that at the Au //Action hr the4h- Ow Howse p Ut M il e r OM isight • i t li t tho &MO POI* Ptak, Isavelfisairsimc, 1161,11Py large, to the am, awl lie was alarge sliktand woos V tbiry posed by thou& sone bac `quite.
