Lord Eldon expreffed great doubts whether the Bill would not rather'he injurious than. beneficial, particularly without any claufe to fared* exceptions to the general rule. The Lord Chancel lor minutely detailed the progrets of the Bill through its feveral Rages, and contended that Judges would, under its provifions, be vetted with the prier of al lowing or difallowing any demurrer to anfwer quef• tines made upon fpecial grounds, according to their opinion with rape& to Inch grounds of demurrer... Lord ELLENINIONIUN, Lord AUCKLAND, Lord HOLLAND, and the Earl of Rosscvm, alto (poke in favour of the Bill, and urged the confederation of the amendments now. Earl STANHOPE thought that the clank on nally intended to be added to the Bill, might now b 4 moved by way of amendment upon the amendments made by the Commons. Lord HAWKESBURY moved to defer the cnn fldcration of the amendments till to-morrow, which motion was negatived. Lord HAWKESBURY then Rated his objeCtiona. to the Bill which he did not conceive to be neceffery or likely to lead to any prattical good. He concluded, by moving, that the confederation of the amendmenth, lhould be qferred for three months. This motion could not be put, the Houle having already decided that the word " now" fhould Rand bert of the queftion, and , after a [bort converfation tween Lords Holland. Ellenborough, Eldon, and Hawkefbury. the amendments were agreed to, and a meffage ordered to be lent to the Hon& of Commons to acquaint them therewith. COLN. Earl STANHOPE laid, that he held a motion in his band to which he had reafon to think nu objeetion would be mode. It was conneeted with a fubjea of the greateft and molt extenfive intereft ; a fubjeet in which the happinels, nay the very exigence of the people was concerned— • Lord ELLENBO ROUGH took the liberty of fuggetting to the Noble Earl, whether it would natj be- advikable to defer his motion until there waa a fuller attendance of their Lordfhips. '0 ' Lord STANHOPE replied, that as the prefeni was the &telt time to make his motion, he was del'. I mined to perfevere in it. He was anxious to pro vide againft the heavieß of calamities which could befal a nation, that of a fcarcity of that article which conftituted the principal fubliftence of the peo ple of this country. He alluded to the article of bread corn, of which, from the information he bad received from a perfon of very extenfive knowledge in that line, he was apprehenfive there would ba (portly a (catchy. Lord ELLENBOROUGH rote again, and called the Noble Lord to order. It could n3t be fairly Paid of him, that he treated any thing that regarded the flthjtet with levity. No man was more alive to the' interefts of the fubjea than he was; and he could give no better proof of that re(pea for them, than the with he had expreffed, that whatever con cerned the people (bould be ferioufly and deliberately dif. cuffed. Lord STANHOPE contended, that the Learned Lord limed not to be aware of the difficulties and dangers to which he alluded. There was no know ing to what an alarming degree a fcarcity might Coon 'be experienced. The experience of former times should have taught us better. It ought to be reeol late& that about aeo millions had been fent out of the country for the purchafe of corn and grain, &c. when even there exifted more facilities of procuring it. than we were likely loon to poffefs. The ports of the Baltic would, or were already Gut againft us, and whither were we then to look for any im mediate fupply ? With the intention of bringing this fubjea more fully and fairly before their Lordfhips, he thould now move that there be laid before the' Houfe an account of the quantity acorn, grain, rice, &c. imported into Great Britain fince the tft of Ja nuary, 1804 ; gib an account of the exports of the fame during the fame period. The Earl of MOIRA could not perceive, that there was any thing objettionable in the motions made by the Noble Earl, although he could by no MGM concur in the neceffity or the juftice of the obferva• Lions with which they were prefaced. He, without applying himfelf particularly to the fubjea, had ac quired fume information refpeeting the fupply of corn, the relish of which was fufficient to fatisfy his mind, that there was nut the lealt foundation for the apprehentions which the Noble Lord feemed to enter tain. He willed it to be underitond as generally as puilible, that there was not the lead probability that any Icarcity would arife. Lord AUCKLAND profeffed hinsfelf obliged to the Noble Lord who (poke fall, for having taken fo great a load off his mind, in obviating the ill effeas which might be produced by the affertion of the No- . ble Lord. For that alfeition, he would politively declare, that there was no foundation whatever.— There was nothing in the Rate of the country or of its agriculture, which could lend the lealt authority to the obfervation of the Noble Earl who made the motion. As to his obareations retpedling the little profpeel of . a (apply from the Baltic, in cafe a fcar city Ihould rife, it afforded hint much plealure to be t ere to Hate, that a 'ad number of (hips freighted coin,ell arc now on their wsy from limpet o Ulla • cmintry, anJ tli.it tlie ports of the Baltic wither mere Ala top III" to befiut a g ain) su.

Mr. TIERNEY allied that it lboutd be recommit ted, for the fake of Come amendments which ha meant to propose. It had been fuggefted to him by a Learned Friend, that the Bill went fomewhat far ther than was intended originally. Its objedl was to declare the law. But there had been no doubt that a Candidate might provide a carriage for the vote!, though he ought not to give money to the votes hire. (elf to procure one. By this Bill, however, the Can didate could not even provide a carriage fur the Voter, and thus far it went beyond declaring the law. Hs walled to amend it in this point, and therefore moved that it be sow recommitted. The other amend ments were merely verbal. Sir ROBERT BUXTON thought ' that the Can didate ought to be at no expence with relpeft to the Voters, and would rather have the law as it was than agree to pars the Bill with the amendment. Mr. PAULL thought. that however the Bill might be difguifed, its effect would be to diminifh the number of voters, end for that reafoa he would oppofe it. Lord ARCHIBALD HAMILTON raid, that his objeftions went to the principle of the Bill ; and as to the recommitment, there was only one claufe in the Bill, and that one involved the principle itfelf. He wa; againft it, therefore, though he believed the Hon. Gentleman could have no motives in this bufi nets, except fuel as were pure an 4 honourable. Mr. TIERNEY obrerved, that the Noble Lord did him no more than jußice. He himfalf could gain no advantage from the Bill, as the law was perfeftly declared in the place which he reprefented,' and his only objeft was to extend the advantage to other places. If all expenses to the Candidate could be done away, he would be very well pleated. But he had, at firm, carried the provifions of the Bill beyond the mere point of explanation. When money had been given, the queftion in the Courts had been, whe ther at had been allowed for carriage money ? His obit& was to eftablifh the point that no money ought to be given at all, and this, he apprehended, was the cafe as the law Rood at relent. But nothing was raid in the law about carriages, and if the Bill was to prevent carriages from being provided, it would be more than an explanatory one. Mr. FRANCIS thought that the amendment would alter the principle of the bill confiderably. Carriages were to be allowed to convey the voters, but how were they to be conVeyed—alive or dead ? An Ho nourable Gentleman behind him whirpered de“4l druid. Well, be it fo, but if you gave the voter nothing to eat or drink, in a journey of two hundred miles, he would (Cindy be alive by the time he came to the place of polling, or, if he were alive, he would not be able to vote, Mr. BAKER contended that the candidate ought to be at no expence, but this bill would do fo little that he thought it better the law should remain as it was. Mr. HENRY LASCELLES agreed with the lag fpeaker. Mr. SPENCER STANHOPE thought this bill better than no bill at all, as it was impollible to leave the matter as it was. He thought that it would be better to regulate the expenses of the randidte, for he was of opinion that any law which went to do they! away altogether would be evaded. It was a wife laying of Solon to the Athenians, " I do not give you the bell laws poffible, but the bell which you can bear. " We ought to keep this in mind. ' for rliG Mr. GRAHAM fuppnrted the bill at WI, but ri wo.ild now be fo much altered that he withal it had iley p erbee i nbroi progefs. ghtberrorethe Houk, and be would opofe it further Dir. ROSE wifhed to have the law fettled one way or another, and on that principle would fupport the bill. He bad teen three opinions given by three lawyers of eminence ; two of them differed, and the other laid, that he believed the law to be one way, but that very likely the Committee would decide the other. As to giving money, this would be impoffible, as no regular rate could be fixed. After. a few words from Mr. George Vanfltta t it. Mr. Cornwallis, Mr. Laugham, and ano th er, e ' Houle divided on the quollton, whether tbs i ,bill thould be recommitted ?--L-Ayes ea—shines la. The bill was then recommitted and reported.— The Report to- be. further cotilidercd on Friday.— Adiourited. .

We have received a packet from our Correfpondent in the Leeward Elands; his bier is dated March a at Barbadoes, and contains a long journal of occur rences ; we (hall extra& the principal and Mon inter retying events. We are forsy to learn. that the lick- . nefs and mortality in every ifland ergs confiderable and increafing. Though in none of the iflands are the troops healthy, there are more (icily in St. Vincent's now than in any other ifland. The 9oth, or Perthffiire regiment, have fuffered much there. in nine Math; they have buried - to officers, 3 officers wive?. 140 men, 26 women, and 3o children. The 101 l death was Lieut. Faassa ten days before, the widow of Capt. CalTllslas was buried, who only furvived bee hufband ten days. Here (at Barbadoes) we are more healthy than in the other Wands, though very fickly. At Barbadoes, nor in any of the other Wands, bad they heard of Sir Joule Ducitwoazie; fuccefs, though they were aware of the French force in that quarter, and all were on the alert. A cartel arrived the tad January, at Barbadoes, from Guadeloupe, and brought feveral failtirs taken from the Cork fleet, and the crew of the Unite fchoo• nor, lately captured by a French privateer, after a molt defperate aaion. She was commanded by Lieu tenant Ba•wri, who, with all the officers, was killed or wounded. 4. Since the accounts we received of another French force having arrived in the Weft Indies, they begin ferioully to think of putting the Mantis in a pofture of defence. Lieutenant O:lonel Jounson went round to make his report of the Rate of defence of all of them s but the report of every fucceeding officer is fo much at variance with his predecelfor, that the real (late of them is differently made out. Generals BALFuUR and MONTISSOII, who were both captured on their way nut, have arrived at Barbadoes, from Guada loupe, on their parole. The new Commander in Chief is eagerly expeEled they are much in want of General Officers, and of Staff, in every one of the Wands.
