Lord CASTLEREAGH law nothing objection able in the produttion of there papers, but took that opportunity to fay, that the 'cation why Come papers had been kept back was, that the Board of Confront had conceived that they would give improper infor mation to the enemy, and that they contained revere rctir ;lions, which ought not ro be made public, upon the private charaEter of the Nabob Vizier. Lord MORPETH, in this refpee, confirmed the Ilatement of Lord Cadlereagh.

If this was difho nourable in a Prince, it was infinitely more clifhonono. able in thole who drove him to defpair, and obliged him to banith care as well as he coul.l.

Mr. Secretary FOX Paid, that however natural it was for the friends of the Noble Lord to with for a speedy determination, it would not be poffible to have any fueh pledge given ; es, if the evidence was to be examined at the Bar of the Houfe, it would be im- Poffible for any one to Rate precifely how long filch examinations might neceffarily continue. Mr. PAULL obferved, that there was no reafon to rufpell him of witting delay, as, in order to avoid that imputation, be had proceeded more rapidly than any other perfon in (ironer eircumftaoces. Mr. FRANCIS could not conceive, that hearing evidence in fupport of a charge was equivalent to the entering into the confideration of it, in the fenfe of the motion which had been made by a Noble Lord (Lord Temple) ; he thought it might as well be contended that the printed evidence should not by put into the hands of MeMbers before that day. Mr. Sedretary FOX (aid, the forms of alto Hours made a great difference between written evidence 4 .1 oral tefilmony. "The very idea of oral evidence re• quired, that it Ihould not be given a log time before the quellion was to be decided, but that the queflion Ihould be confidered, while it was Ira in the minds of thofe who wets to decide. He thought the better way 'would be, that, on the day fixed for the cot& deration of the charge, Which was Wednefday the e Bth, the Hon. Gentleman &mild then bring forward his evidence in fupport of it. Mr. PAULL acquiefced in that opinion, and moved for the attendance of the following perfOns on that day, to give their evidence : Lord Vircountrazottrourn, Sk Ammer C Lieutenant Coked Kornai, Major General P.

The attendance of the other perfons mentioned by Mr. PAULL was then ordered. Mr. PAULL' then moved for Accounts of the actual Rate of the European Regiments, and of the Bengal Cavalry, from the year t 7911 to 1799 ; as alto the expence of a fingle Company of Artillery em ployed that year in the Nizam s Country. There pa p ers were tben ordered. Coll TRAM The Houfe, on the Motion of Sic JOHN NEW PORT, refolved into' a Committee to take into con. federation the propriety of a motion for leave to bring in a bill to eftablith a free intereotsrfe between Great )3dt:in ind'lreland, in the mutual export and import of Certain fpecier of grain between the two countries. The Hotfe aecordintry refolved into a Committee, Me. Hobhoofe in the Chair. Mr. FO§TER rofe and obferved, that there were forne difficulties in the way of facts a bill, which, un lefs fatistadorily obviated, would prefent infurmoun table oblations tolts being palled into a law. At plefent the corn trades of both countries were regu lated 'under Ads of Parliament refpedively, which eltablifhed in each country an average rate of price for the different fpecies of grain, which average be irig attained in the home market, the ports were clofed . againft exportation, and opened for importa tion ; and below which price exportation was per mitted, and importation precluded. This regulation was made with a view to prevent an exceffive price of the neceffsry of life to the home confumer ; and at the fame time, to allow every rcafonable advantage to the agricultural interefls in each kingdom. Now, 6y the propofed bill, as far as he was enabled to conjalure, although the price of corn in England fhould be above the average which admitted of exportation, yet the price in Ireland might be fo touch cheaper, as to admit the continuance of ex ports him thence; and therefore by the propoled bill, w.iich lie underllooil was to allow the free in• terchange of corn between both countries without bounty or duty, the Englifh merchant who wilhed to elude the law, and export Britith corn to foreign countries, would have nothing to do but confign it through the medium of Ireland ; and vice veils, fo might the Lids merchant elude the law of that coun try, by exporting through England. The only mode by which, :ii his contemplation, filch mifchievous confequences could be avoided, would be to teltrain and regulate the corn trade of both countries, by one general average from the mars of prices in LAI'. The average in England was taken from a comparifon of twelve dittrids : the Scota trade was regulated by the Britilh ftandard, and the Irifh by an average of the prices in every part of the kingdom. Now, by regulating the general export rate in all the ports of the United Kingdom; from an average of the whale mats of prices colledively, the evil would be obviated, which would otherwife be unavoidable, under the propofed bill. I 'lt
