The Earl of LIVERPOOL moved the Order of the Day for taking into consideration the Message of his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, recommend. ing their Lordships' concurrence in aid of the Ger man sufferers. His Lordship then rose to move an Address to his Royal Highness, assuring him of their Lordships' concurrence in the object of his most gracious Mes sage. It was known to most of their Lordships that a subscription was some time ago set on foot by a number of benevolent individuals in this country, in aid of those individuals who had suffered in conse quence of the war in Germany. It was hoped that the sum received by subscription would be sufficient, not indeed e. , .tirery to relieve the wants and misery of tf.e sufferers, but to preclude the necessity of any farther appeal to the generosity of the people of this country through Parliament. The sum raised by this subscription amounted to about one hundred thousand pounds. He held in his hand a paper, containing an account of the distribution of that sum, which had been confined to those districts that had been the theatre of war. In sixty-three villages round Leipsic there had been nearly half a million of pro periy destroyed.—(Hear, hear.)—The distress suf fered by these individuals could not be mentioned without awaking feelings of commiseration for their fate. Under the circumstances of this severe loss, the Prince Regent . had deemed it proper to call on the liberality of Parliament to enable him to furnish some reliet to these people. Although it was not altogether consistent with the rules of their Lord ships' House to specify the sum which it was pro posed to ask on this occasion, he would state that a hundred thousand pounds had been fixed on. The grater part of Europe had been in a state of war during the last twenty }ears; but however hard the war might have pressed on the inhabitants of this country, from our situation we had not suffered any distresses at all to be put in competition with those .kliich Parliament was now called on to relieve.— Through the blessing cl PhOVIDENCE this country had never been the theatre cf war ; and the difference in our situation, occasioned by war, was, lie might say, nothing at all, when compared with the sufferings of a country which was the theatre of war. The rebel was proposed to be given exclusively to those coon tries which had been the theatre at war, and which had suffered all its limn rs and miseries. He hoped that an appeal would not be made in vain to that generosity and bvnevoleace which prevailed in every Lth.isli breast ; and that if they could not do all the good which they wished. they would at least do as much as they could. His Lordship concluded with moving the Address. Lord HOLLAND.—However he might feel for the distress of that district of country which had been the theatre of war, as a Member of their Lordships' House, he felt also that he had a duty to perform towards the people of England; and however ungra cious it might seem to oppose any measure like the present, he considered himself obliged to protest against it as a lavish expenditure of the public money. There were two precedents for affording Parliamen tary relief to the suffering inhabitants of other cowl , tries. The one was the case of Portugal. He had voted, on that occasion, for the relief, which he con ceived to rest on a different ground from the present. The sufferings of the Portuguese were occasioned by the retreat of the British army before the French, when they were called on to make a sacrifice of their property, and to drive every thing before them to dis- Lr:..ss the invading enemy. 'this country, therefore, o wed it to justice to relieve, in some degree, those distresses which were connected with the operations of the British army. The other precedent was in the case of Moscow. This grant he considered rather as a n expression of the feeling of Parliament, than as a relief to the suffering individuals, and in that view he had voted for it. But at the close of a war, during %Ouch the people of this country had been suffering the greatest privations and distresses, distresses which they knew were not likely soon to be diminished, their Lordships were now called on to grant a considerable sum of money towards the relief of individuals abroad, the nature of whose sufferings was not even before the House. The Noble Lord had told them people of this country, from their situation, been freed from the calamities of war. But with thath th a ed the exception of these sufferings, which it was not in t h e power of money to relieve, let the Noble Lord look to our figs of bankruptcies, let him consider the twelve months ago; and now when there was but a small attendance of their Lordships, the Noble Lord had thought proper to make a claim for these suf ferers, atter an interval of several months. rois claim ought to have been submitted in an carper' stage of the Ses3i,ni. With as strong a disposition to commiserate the calamities of the people of Ger many, as that of the Noble Lord, he really did not think that all the sufferers of the different nations of Europe had a right to come to us to be riilieved. We ought, in his opinion, to look at home first. The voluntary subscriptions did great credit to the gene rosity of the people of this country ; he would give the motion a decided negative. Lord BORINGDON contended, that a grant like the present would demonstrate to all the world the disinterestedness of the people of the country. Lord HOLLAND and Lord BOIIINGDON mutually ex plained. The Earl of LAUDERDALE observed, that the Noble Earl (Liverpool) had stated the damage in the country, which had been the theatre of the war, at £500,000; but the people of this country had suffered a damage to the extent of one hundred and twenty-five millions a year. What country, he would ask, had ever suffered so much as this ? It had suf fered all alcarg an extortion of money, such as no country had ever before experienced. They ought first, iii his opinion, to examine into the situation of the people of this country before attempting to relieve the wants of others. Two or three years the Over seers of the poor of Spitalficlds declared that several individuals in that part of the Metropolis died of ab solute want. Though the wants of that part of the Metropolis had been since diminished, he was con vinced, that en many parts of this country there were numbers of the inhabitants in as great a state of pra- ' vation as any objects of charity that could be found abroad. There was no district of this country with- • out many individuals Who had been deptived of the enjoyments of their ancestors. It was galling to the. people of the country to sec our resources bestowed on sufferers abroad, while no notice was taken of the calamities at home. Let any man read the evidence delivered on the n..casion to which he had alluded, and be would find that many men bad been starved to such a degree as to extinguish existence. They had no evidence before them of the distresses in Ger many, but the loose accounts referred to by the Noble Earl; and yet, upon these accounts, they were going to bin ,len the people of this coun,try e.ith that charity abroad, which wog so intuit wanted at home. After the way in whie% the roor of this cou7t;ry had acquiesced in their atiol.s, he thought it would not be becomin,s , in their Liu dships to pay attation to the wants of Foreignets, while numerous classt's of our own people were labouring under every kind of distress. Lord SIDMOUTH said he had heard with asto nishment from the Noble Lord who spoke last, that they were looking abroad for objects of charity, labile they were neglecting objects of charity at fp:me. If there was one feature in the people of this conntry more prominent than another, it was this—that the diffusion of a benevolent spirit, shew•ing itse:f in an anxious search for objects to display itself on, had uniformly kept:pace with the patriotism and exertions of the country. The charities of this country of late years had far exceeded any thing which had ever been raised during a similar period ; and for the ho. nour of the country, he would again repeat, that there never was.a period when the increase of charity had so kept pace with our public spirit. He wished also to remind the Noble Earl, that in the institu tions of this country there were means of affording, to those who wanted employment, food, clothing, and lodging, which the inhabitants of no other coun try enjoyed. With respect to Portugal, the sum af forded by the country had enabled the peasants of that country to ensure a subsistence from the soil.— This relief could not be considered altogether as an atonement for the losses they had sustained in conse• quence of the operations of the British army ; for the damage done by the British army was comparat:vely trifling—whereas the devastation of the French army could only be compared to the visit of an Attila.— The benefits derivec; by the Russian sufferers had been great, though not equal to the former. In the present case it was not intended, for that was imprac ticable, to obviate all the evils derived freni tie war in Germany ; but they might go the length of allevi ating the most pressing evils, and enable the pcwr peasantry by tillage to draw a subsistence from the earth. The exercise of such acts of humanity was a source of strength, and not of weakness to a coun.ry. The time, too, was an additional recommendation to the adoption of this measure ; for it would afford us an opportunity of rescuing ourselves lion) the re- proach of being actuated by selti.ll motives. Lord HOLLAND wished to ask the Noble Earl opposite what security there was that the sums given would be applied to the purpcses for which they were voted i He was not aware of the existence of any Government in that part of Germany alluded to by him. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY said, that a Noble Earl ( LauJerdale) had alluded to the great distresses of the Soitalfialds reasiteactierer , . He pre sumed the islotile Earl had not be and pr h ibly of an institution for the r, lief of t h e distressed m anafac curers of this country ; from which institution the dis tressed inhabit ints of Spiraltie•l is in p sr had derived great assistance. T:te-e was no instaace, he believed, in which the ch 'lilies of ihis country were not well administered. It uas hardly nossible for any Briton who looked at the situation of this coun try, and compared it with the distress which was felt over a great part of Germany, while lie felt thankful (0 GOD for that situation, not to feel at the same time an anxious wish to afford every relief to the German sufferers. Under these circumit ',ices, there could be, lie thought, but one idea in the House as to the propriety of the present grant : indeed die Noble Earl himself (Lauderdale), now that he was satisfied that we had not been neglecting our own poor, w0..1‘1 concur in voting for the grant. It was his opinion, that the wants of the people of this country had very properly been attended to. Ntr;th reapect to the dis tribution of the subscriptions, like all distri`iritions of a like nature, it was impossible to exclude all possi bility of impropriety from taking place; but this he would say, that all means within human caution and care had been adopted to avoid such impropriety. The Earl of LAUDERDALE wished to ask the Right Reverend Prelate, if lie believed that the cha rities to which lie had alluded had left no distress un relieved in this country ? Had any grant of public money been ever applied for in the case of our own sufferers ? He complained, therefore, of the applica tion to Parliament for relief to the poor of other countries, while our own were neglected. It was a satisfaction to know from the Right Reverend Pre late that the subscriptions had been s,) well applied ; but it was not the custom of Parlaameet to grant money, and leave the disposal of that money to any one ; for, by the constitution of Parli totem, mom. y could only be gratiLed to responsible °dicers. A check ought to be put :o such a practice. Nothing, in his opinion, was more objectionable than that this money should eo into hands that were not responsible Parliament for its appl;cation. The Address was then carried without a,divisicn. Adjouraed till to morrow (this day). 7. • . • 110 U-1 ., COMMON'.

Mr. ABERCROMBIE said, the limitation of this measure to one year removed much of his objection to it. He could not. however, see any good ground for continuing the measure in a time of peace. Mr. P.
