PETITION PRAM ?Hi LIVERY or Llsoox. Mr. CALVERT said, he rose to move tor It•aae to present a Petition Irons the -Lord Mayor and Livery of London. It stated the severe distress of the ma nrifircturing and trading interests, and which it did not ascribe to the transition from war to peace, but to the enormous amount of the National Debt, the, profusion of Sinecure Places and Pensions, and an immense Military Establishment. They allude to the corrupt state of the Represetaation, and pray for a Reform-according to the Constitution as it at pre sent exists. He trusted this Petit;un would be re ceived and read. How t happened to come into his hands he could not tell; but having received it, he, deemed it Iris duty to offer it to the House. Alderman ATKINS said he could relieve the Honourable Member from all doubt as to how the Petition came into his possession, by, stating that it was Is.cattse himself and his broth./ Representatives w.:re no: thought worthy of , presenting it. For him self, he W,.uld nut be responsible for its contents, without due consideration, and he was called on to pledge himself to support the prayer of it, whether he consideied it to be sight or wrong. This "be re fused to do ; thouh when the great question of Re torm came to be discuased, he should meet the con ' sideration of it with his best seal and most honest exertions. The Common Hall where this Petition was resaved on, certainly contained many most re spectable persona at the time ; bat it was absurd to suppose they agreed on the question of Reform, as two out of five were for annual, and the other three fifths for triennial Parliaments. He had stated thus much.to chew why the Petition came info the hands of the Honourable Mensbcr for Southwark. Sir W. CURTIS sail, he would have nothing to Jo with the Petition ; anJ so far Icons supputting its prayer, he would give his decided opinion that the Constitution is as it otight to be, and that those who meddled with it would not be able to mend it. He would therefore make use of an old bqt good ada h e Let well alone." He had no objection to the ,Petition being presented by the Honourable Gentle- - man, who was a friend, to radical Reform, and A. nual Parliaments ; but for his own pair, be Was per-, fectly satisfied with things as they.are—(rargdyr-) Here the Honourable Baroaet was called to order by Mr. CALVERt. He denied that be had ever de clared himself in favour of radical Reform or An nual Parliaments. On the contrary, he coosiJesed such schemes cede as a ild and visional, as am ay% • • • ..1 . • • On the question that the petition do lie on the table, Mr. PONSONBY observed, that as the worthy Alde-man opposite h , cl asserted that all the Repre sentatives fur the city had been deemed unworthy of presenting the petition, he deemed it necessary posi tively to contradict this. He ought t'i have added, and as he did not, he (Mr. Ponsnohy) would say it for him, that there was one Member for the city who was not considered unw o rthy o r p - r f orm i ng t h i s d uty , I but he was unable to do it rneretr from ill health. Mr. CALVERT maim:linen, that ha had never bound himself tc sap:, at any petition, right or wrong; but oae reason why he would support this was, that lie had himself been one of six persons who Sent two Members to Parliament, each of whom paid, set,s . o for their seat ; and this, independent of the ringiog the bell, and paying at 10, alluded to by the Noble Lord on a form .1. occasion. was a state cf thillga not to be endured —(1,oul crier of Hear, hear.) Mr. LAMB TON said, it wis incumbent ou the House to investigate the (Ilk:soon of reform, divested of all the absurd acid detestable theories with which 1 it was enveloped by i.ri Sts el:aiatt,ugues. It was evident, that according to Cie pfeselit state ot our Representation, the ro:sle evvie not duly repre 3ent:d. No doubt collet ile entertained of this fact,: after the A item,nt which Vie lino to had heard from a Noble Lord (Cuchiane) on. a recycling evening,. He was as little dispsti as any man to prevent the real voice of the people front reaching that House, ard receiving all due attention, but the , intanatma aid de's rusting p r inciple s of madmen and fanatics tisould-oe nut wish contempt and ind-gnation. They founded their= designs on the overthrow of every thing that was good, great, and yenta:olle is the crastitry ; but the characters %s ham they aliened and re.i:ed had Lao great an inteae:t •in the preservation of their own and the people's rights, to suffer them ,to succeed in their exec ra bl e p r i a j ec te. The Ji.tur betietittitihlthrtbe,eirinitta A eetatt&fttirl-beewmtefu 'in do ans All degree; while they had stietvo -to the peaple at large how insignificatit were their numbers, they had suniulated that House to investigate abus , s, svitli, he hoped, the firm disposition to la wove them. The petition from London had coPed nit the . House to effect a Reform in the Representation. Let the `rouse answer the petitioners by proving to thern that they were ready to adopt all reasonable suggestions, influenced by that exalted spirit of liberty winch in spired our ancestors, and which has mask us the . greatest nation in the woad. Mr. WYNNE did not with to enter at present at all into arguments on the question at Returns. bus. as that important ipestion was so apeed:ly to come on, he did net feel how it could be possible to enter into the discussion without some previous plan beitz brought forward. He mettioned this bec•tuse the tpeculations at present entertained teamed to include all manner of theories, from annual . Pailiaments down to the disfrar.chisement ot a single Borough. Could any Gentleman have heard the declaration that was unblushingly made the other night, of a Member haven z obtained a seat in that douse by open and public corruption, enitloyilig the bellnian to go about and offer ten Koreas to every voter— could any man, he said. hear sueh an assertion with out disgust ?—(Hear, hear, hear:) WAS it a proper subject for gloryin in, that any man who had thus corruptly gaited a S-at had an opportunity of turn ing round upon his con.tituents, whom he had se duced by a criminal act f—(seer, hear, hear.) An Honourable Gentleman had boasted dial dB-k,soi) had been paid to Lim and others for r e tu i niog two Members. This was, by the law of the land, a' great and substantial offence.; and while he jutted in regretting the difficulty tit pruv)ng facts ot this kind, slid he could not allow vial that which was an of fence against the statute and common law ought to be boasted of by many persons iu that House.— (Hear, hear, hear.) Mr. CALVEKT desired to explain. The Hon. Gentleman had totally misunderstood him. He had spoken as if he (Mr. Calvert) had been one of the persons who had been engaged in the Sale ot the Bo rough, and had participated in the profits. The fact was quite the reverse. It was he (Mr. Calvert) himsdf'who had been sold, before he gave his vote, and he did not know it. This was the most grie vous circumstance that he had to complain of. Mr. WYNNE admitted that he was entirely under ,a misunderstanding ; althdugh he 'did not conceive that the Hon. Gentleman had participated in the money. But the fact ought to be known, and he would have served his conntry mo•t e:lectually by assisting in bringing the criminal to justice. After 'a few words from Mr. 1 1 / I AND, the Petition was ordered to lie on the table. Lord W. BENTINCK pinented a petition from the Land-owners and Inhabitants of Ashby in the neighbourhood of Nottingham.contairitng &yen him ! dred houies. It Complained of the general distress occasioned by the intolerable pressure of the pool's rater, by which the inhabitants were unable to pay Ithe Assessed Taxes. Read, and ordered to lie on the Table. t. Sir k RANCIS BURDETT then moved for leave to present another petition, to the sine 'leveret, from the town el Bradford. On being brveght up and earl, it was fiiund to contain passages which called forth the reprehension of Lord CAS PLEREAGH, who contended that the House ought net to proceed in arr. teading of it. Mr. BROUGHAM strongly 0: settained a con. traty opinion. It was absurd to bel;eve, as' some pea ems were disposed tq assert, that Petitions were manufactured here, and sera down to de Provinces. Mere could be no doubt tb they were the produc. do e of the persons who e ok the lead at each respec. eve meeting, end teat) must necessarily bring then% ready prepated. He declared he would rather see the most tingremmaticel, common-piece, and unin telligiblr Petition from any body of people them selves, than any slue filled with the nicest composi. tion and most logical deductions that Could be pre. l eered and sent down to them. He really believed, that the. prayrr for universal suffrage had often been insidiously introduced ir ea these Petitions, but it would be numerous to assert. that the nume rous persons who had sigesel such Petitions, amolltit ing sometimes v 30,000, 17,000, :21,e00, and alto gether to mere than hell a million, were not sensible of the great grievances of which they complained, and that they had not a right te cid on the Houses ter Refortn. and above all. tor Retrenchment. Sir F. BURDEVE protested against the mode of rejecting Ihnitioes that was growing int) use, because they contained particular words which some Gentle men did not approve uf. At such public meetings, all that could be hop. d for was, that the Perk - toners should agree to some general principle. •If griev ances wac beyond what people ceuld mime, they had no hope but in appealtug to this H .use. He `should thiek thetehileutton could be laid hold of, as edeted merely to insult the iiouse, and with this ulta Uz trusiteefrthe present oue would not be rejected. The question was then put, that the Petition be etweieerf, whick was carried in the.uesetiie vii.hout . . . consurrer es: tete rehriec Lord CAS VI. EseGl I desired the Cwrk to read that p ise , ge Ropi relate; to the ordering of the Estitn ties zo he hid before the House, with a view to the c ,.. nsieeration of tedac tivus. The p tt.s lee lievlog been real, the Nohhe Lord began by saying, that on caliieg the atteteitie of the ifouse to that part of the Speech which had just Seen read, he was sure that Gentlemen would reel that their ettentien never was c died to en object in which the vital interest of the whole country Var/s more deeply involved. It had been the fuetttue . of very :rimy of the M t :me ets o f t h at House new preseist, to be called-at deferent p Tiede to the asitnieskration et pueiic effete; but during Which the tames of peace had been untortenetely so centracred, that their slThrts were ceonected . with . scarcely any thieg but is was polity. Yet they certainty had the gratilyitig leflectioit that 'the weer-butthees which they had motel it their ditty to imp 'se, wells they were 1111teblitY and utievoielahte. lied the iff et of infusing tech a nable and generous spirit amongst the people as had cetritil the c untry Free .ly threhelt • C.)ot4:bt 11111 Cli.itildcli and danerers. In this respect th-y feel the cinisoletiers of thinki ng , th a t they feed perttamed, of all the duties tee) , owed to their country, the one which was most gratifying and sacred. We Istipht !low. lot the first time, crinsiofrr ourselves as leaving leeken ti r .thelf the pair's' other (for the :est year iu a reef despot partook of the wee espendituit), a at the flohse was now celled 01 to look at the nett. in Which the wer hest left the titulary. He did hut think that the 'venni difficulty was altogether wetter that; might have biro exe pretest atter such a tremendous stiuggli; though the people might naturally look tlif Nod m eijoy all the advantages which peace could afford. He wesliee the House would agte: no gteat country ethed look to success, unless Its expeoditute Was to Ear re duced as to meet its actual 'eyesore. No country could be considered as founding its system on a wise footing, unless its expenditure writ.. even reduced within its income 'Poet the country might not be enabled to make every possible reductiou in the fir e year of a peace system, was a circumstance that ought not to discourage the House, as we did nob arrive at this *tate of things immediately after the peace which terminated the contest in the year 1783 ; and if, from usiavaidahle circumstances, this year might not be marled with so gratifying a ch 'teeter as could be wished, yet the heone ought to see cite probability in a reason able course tit time, of regaining their pepper Intel. Alt• gether, he was proud to think that the- tiliciple of seduction might be expected to'arrive at. its - height at a much carter Perish' than that whicleit oath e.l Actr the tertniii4• tion'of the American war. In the u -dewy course in which the busintis of die teate is sithontted to Parliament, it had Leen shoal to lay before alts 1 1" nm the Estimates ter the Navy in the tust ism-jtke, which were followed by these of tee Atmy. tied the other branches of the tea vice. hot it had appeared to h) t s il h e lp f ee t t i T e ts r tv cr e t t i t e rs d T o t t sh h e is g sz t a i t v h e : t t eg be- a. lion, it would be convenient for them to scceive, by
