Lord LIVI.R Foal. pustponed b;s Motion of Thanks to Lord Minto and Sir Samuel Auchmuty. IRELAND. Lord GRENVILLE rose to postpone the order of the day for summoning the House to-morrow se'n night to the 2-1111 of this month. The order referred to a motion on the affairs of Ireland, by a Noble Friend of his ; and he equally with Noble Lords re gretted that any delay should take place in a matter .of such portentous nromeht to the country. He ,thought that Government had now fully disclosed their mind upon the policy that therwere to pursue with that country, and he thought that delay in fully entering into the subject of that policy WAS most ex ceedingly to be lamented ; but many of the Noble Lords particularly connected with Ireland, and who /light be expected to share in the discussion, had not 'yet been able to attend ; and it was not unusual to the courtesy of that House to shape its deliberations so as to suit the general convenience as closely as pcs eible. The situation of Ireland was most momen tous, not merely to that country herself, but to gng land.—The motion was then carried. FINANCIAL REPORTS. Lord GRENVILLE then, after a few prefatory • remarks on the manliness and propriety of not cow. :cealing its true situation from the country, adverted • 'to the Financial Repo' is which were now probably IA `the hands of all their Lordships. He would submit motion for the production of those accounts, which, as they were the common public documents, he ex pected nor to be opposed. He then moved for • - The Accuant of the Consolidated Fund for 1811. 1 he Account of the 1'• sr laxei fur Ism ALd the gross Amount of +he l'axts, (including those o( Ire land,) 18 i 1. _• T.IVE RPOOL had no possible objection to Accounts—bey were mere financial docu- It he begged leave to say, that neither he, h,e allow himself to think any person in all ied the slightest idea of deceiving the coun. its real situation.

Mr. LOCKHART moved for leave to bring in a bill for the regulation of Cbaritableponations. He entered into' detail of the abuses which had crept into the management of various cha ritable institutions; and,stated, that he should propose a mode of registering every donation, and a mode of application to the Lord Chancellor for the purpose of remedying ;butes—Leave given, and Mr. Lockhart and Sir Samuel Romilly appointed to prepare the Bill. KING'S PHYSICIANS. Mr. Secretary RYDER observed, that it might be proper before the House should adopt any measures in consequence of the Report of her Majesty's Coun cil, to i4quire by a Committee of their osenMembers into the state of his Majesty's health, from the ap pointment of which Committee he thought very little delay could reasonably be apprehended. He should therefore move, that ?. Select Committee be appointed to examine the Physicians who have attended hiti Majesty since the period of the examination of the Physicians before a Committee of the House during the last Session of Parliament. The Committee would consist as before of twenty-one Members ; ancki of the same individuals as before, with the exception of two or three, from their absence or other causes, who could not attend. The names he should pro pose, were— The Chancellor of the Ec chequer, Mr. Secretary Ryder, The Master of the trolls, Mr. Ponsonby, Mr. Wilberforce, Mr. Sheridan, Mr. Tierney, Lord Geo. Cavendish, Lord Jocelyn, Sir John Newport, Sir John Nichol, plr. Wh thread, Lord Caolerta&, Lord Milton, Mr. Canning, Mr. Addington, Mr. Sturges Bourne. PRIVATE BILLS. The A ttorney General, Mr. Mr. Eyre, Mr. Charles Long, On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. it was ordered, th at no Private Bills should be read a first time after the 24th of February next, and no Repori of any Private NB be receivad after the 24th day of Aptil. BRITISH TIEVENUE. Mr. FREE MANGLE moved for Accounts of the Consolidated Fund and War Taxes - for the years iSI 1 and Ibl 2, and of the Charges for the same period. The 'CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that as an Act of Parliameniproscrilied that the Accounts rat the Revenue shou'd be regularly laid before the House; andtbat as thtse Ac ' counts would be bid in a reasouable time before them, he would oppose the motion. Mr. TIERNEY had the highest opinion of the value of Par finmentary Papers. His Hon. Friehd, mever, Only (wished for the rt sults of certain parts of them; end it was not, cer tainly, necvsary far him to wait till all :he accounts could be gat ready, before receiving the information wished for. He meant no rirfl Trion on Ministers when he said that these volu minous aCCollt:ti were rarely delivered bef.re nearly the end of the SessiAt. 'lll.re was nu motion which was not liable to the objection of the Right Hon. Gentleman. ;I'he CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER wished the Hon. Getnit.nati to postpone liks Motion till the foilowing day, that he ought see whether or no: the accounts wished for by him would take any t'Ang like the period mentioned by the Right Hon. Gun.- demon who had spoken last. 'Mr. HORNER said, the conduct of the Right Hon. Gentle. man (Mr. Perceval) was - certainly new to the House. During an short time that he had been a Member, he had frequently knowirdistinct,acCounts moved for out of the general accounts; and the Act of Par:lament which provided for the furnishing the Public Accounts to Parliament, required that whatever Infornia con the House might wish pn that subject, should be furnished to them in continual succession. But whet 'was most singular in this case was, that some of the Right Hun. Gentleman's col leagues, in another House, had already acceded to the production pin ques WI. After a few words from the CHANCELLOR of the EX CHEQUER and Mr. FREEMANTLE, the meatiou was p i t. ,pored till to-morrow (this day). °MARS AND NOTICES, The CHANCa.LOR of the EXCHEQUER moved that the House should adopt the same rule of ' proceedings this Session which had been followed during the last, respecting the precedence between Orders and Notices, and that on Monday and Friday Orders should precede Notices. .Mr. WHITBREAD objected to this Regulation, as ;wringing on the Privileges of the House. The CH.ANCELLOR. of the EXCHEQUER explained. Mr. ABERCROMBIE would not impute to the Right Hon. Gentleman any intention of improperly infringing on the rights and privileges of Members, but certain it was, that the greatest iuconveniericies might re s ult from .the arrangement proposed, and an imaginary temporary advantage ought never to be acquired where permanept evils might be the conse quence. In future it might be contended, that no Member had a right to make a motion without giving previous notice, which would trench on the most im portant duties of a representative. Sir JOHN NEWPORT felt it necessary to make an amendment t;) the resoluticrn proposed, in order to prevent the Minister, by claiming a right to have his Orders ache Day considered first, postpone much more important discussions until an hour, when, from fa igue, Members were not able to give them due consideration ; he therefore moved, that the Orders of the Day should be disposed of in the exact rota tion in which they appeared on the order book. The CH4NCELLUR of the EXCHEQUER re plied, that such a resolutidn would make a consider able difference in-the proceedings of the House estab lished by long experience. The consequence would be, that the second reading of private bills might Oc cupy the House until four or rive in the morning, and a contest about the course of A canal, would impede the grant of those supplies on which the existence of the Nation depended. Mr. PONSONBY did not deny that the observa tions just made possessed weight, but the inconve nience itself grew out of the novel practice introduc ed by the Right Hon. Gentleman. No innovation on the regular course of business in the How* was ever admitted, without it being subsequently found to be the fruitful source of many evils. In both cases evils would be felt, but he thought fewer would arise from the amendment' than from the motion as origi. nally proposed. d FOLKSTONE denied that the second read ing of private Bills . .ever occupied the House later i dean six o'clock in the evening. The Chancellor of the Exchequer was in the Noble Lord's. (pinion the last person to complain of innovation, who had first promoted a plan, which, even in the last session, was felt to be inconvenient. A division then took place, when the numbers were—For the original motion 58 Fur the amend ment 15—Majeriry 43. • PLACILIDZIC On the Gallery being opened, the Speaker was putting the questic4,' that n 'supply be granted, and : 1 that the House, to-morrow, resolve itself into a Cogs-' lasts, who had distinguished himself by les arm smitten for that purp9ee. ment and his eloquence., he was unfit to ill the • Mr. CREEVEY role, and complained that the ties of an office which required those abaities i • House was proceeding, in the present state of the his very capecity was to be assigned as the country, to the most important part of its duty, with j for his incapacity.
