E , fection than was urged as a plea for tie measures of severity lately proposed by Miniiters. His Lordship presented the Petition, which was read, and ordertd to lie upon the Libie. mulct cqmintsisATioN The Earl of LIVERPOOL moved the Order of the Day for the third reading of this and one or two of the Offices' Regulation Bdls. which lay over for the last stage. On the question, The Marquis of • LANSDOWNE fully admitted the principle of compensating long and meritorious officio! service by eommensurote remuneration in 'some shape or other; but, at, the same time, fie was against the continuance of useless offices which were not legally vested, as proposed, in some of the mea sures before their Lordships; and, in this view, he could not but observe the omission of two certain important words in the present Bills. which seemed to have been always usedin Acts of the kind before. He meant. after the words " existing interests," the insertion of these, "legally vested." These he should in the way of amendment, move to have restored. He thought the prin,ciple upon which these parts of the Bills proceeded was perfectly new, viz. "the con tinuation of salaries to persons %Ito were not legally vested with: the . interests of their offices," by Acts which went proiessedly ($1 the ptitruiple of abrogat jug u%ele.s offices. The Earl of LIVERPOOL observed, that as the' Noble Lord seemed to approve the general principle, of these measures, he should contiue lrmselt to the prominent point of his objection. And this, he mutt say, as far as the principle went, did uot apply to any office whatever which it was proposed to abolish, , with respect to England. He perfectly concurred in the right of Parliament to regulate every office of the kind, though there may be several • cases where it ' would be unjust to deprive meritorious individuals of the fruits of these (Aces, though they may not pos sess vested interests therein. . _ The E srl of LAUDERDALE supported the ob jections of the Notre Marquis, and contended, that the present measures, taking their uperatiun • and ef fect altogether, would prove the reverse of economi• cal for the public. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE, in explanation. adverted to the injustice of dismissing num raus ckrks, and persons holding very minor situations, as at the end of the ware and continuing salaries LO the bolJers of snperior offices, to persons who could much better de war t tlrrm. The Earl ot LIVERPOOL explained, that there were no regularly established clerks whatever dis sui,sed with...ut provision or allowance ; those who we , e d were avowedly extra or temporary clerks, and even tone of these were dischari,ed with out some degree of allowance. On the question for agreeing to the Amendment or the Noble Marquis, for iatetting the words o. lu gally vested." The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that the introduction of such words would raake no diairaice whatever as to the legal tenour of the enactment. A conversation then took place as to the m ,st Cacious form of wads in the way of additional pro viso, to meet the idea Of the Noble Marquis as stated in the discussion. .The most proper mode of enact iig language for the purpose was suggested by the Noble and Learned Lard ; and which ultimately, ;thee 'he tejectan of the proposes! amendment, is le gally vest J." %iris moved by thi Marquis of LANs ixswsta AS WI additional proviso, but which; on the question. was also negatived by their Lordships. The Bills, as abote, were then read the third time and passed. CLERGY RISIDENCE BILL. On the question, pursuant to the Order of the Day tor going into a Committee on this Bill, The Earl of HARROWBY expressed his appro bation generally as to the principle and object of the Bill : but seemed to entertain some apprehensions that the important consideration of residence could not, on account of the numerous exceptions in the Bill, prperly be enforced by the diocesans. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY defended the measure generally, and could Assure the Noble Earl that the present Bench i,t Bishops W ere as Nirous to enforce an adequate residence as any men their situations could possibly be; his Grace also noticed that parochial residence WAS at present At least a; general a% At any t rmer period. The LORI) CHANCELLOR seemed to think that the existing law, were it properly put in force, was fully adrquwe to what was' complained of, on the sense of residence and pluralities. He greatly lamented that the Bill was brought for ward at su vet y lite r 1 period of the Session, when he, at least, in consequence of the importance of his other avoca. Cons, could not pay that degree of attention to the subject which it evidently deserved. , Their Lordships then rt tolvid into the Committee, and agreed, with some amendments, to the various Clauses and provisions of the Bill. After which the House resumed, and Adjourned till to-morrow. shrived, in consc•qnence of the establishments which had been formed there, the population of the Island had been in the course of time increased to about 80,000 persons. Within the last year great calami ties had been experienced in Newfoundland ; and many, who had been accustomed to live honestly and respectably, had been forced into the streets to sub. sist themselves by plunder and rapine. The Met.. chants' storehouses had, in consequence, been broken I open, and other disorders had occurred. Tor three or four months a degree of distress had existed there, almost unexampled in the world. The Merchants having had their storehouses plundered last year, were resolved to send oot no new supplies in this, rnorethan were necesury for their sarvants, and the people would therefore be exposed to all the horrors lof famine, if the Government d:cl not adopt sore measure for thew relief. From the evidence given in , the Committee, and from letters received within the 'I last twenty days, it was clear, that unless some en ' cOuragement were given to the Merchants to continue ' the trade, the present inhabitants of the Island would be in danger of belts starved. If temporary relic' were not now given, none could be afforded three months hence. The trade to Newfoundland had formerly flourished to a great degree, but one re spectable Gentleman now in it had stated to the Com • m ttee, that lie lost .‘20,000 within tlie last year, and that if s-me new measures were not adopted, he could not thitik of sending nit new stipples in the present year. The same Gentleman had stated the most.he had ever gained by the trade to Newfound land in one year, was it.'22,000. If something were not alone to relieve the distress, by granting a byway on the exportation of fish, for one year, ur by some other measure, in all probability 1U or 12,000 per sons must lx: starved to death in the ensuing winter. It might do great good to remove 5,000 of their number. At present the best part of the fishery was given up to France, who, by offering bounties to those engaged in it, caused it to be vigorously prose cuted. He set forth tl:e great importance of the trade to Newfoundland, in which he stated 800 vessels to have been annually employed. This trade once lost, he wished to know in svliat way it was to be redeem-1 ed He moved that the House do go into a Com mittee of the whole House, to take into consideration the Report of the Committee, and the propriety of , giving a bounty of two shillings per quintal on Fish exported from Newfoundland, for one year. He WAS aware that bounties on exportation ought not to be given but on due consideration, but the pressing na ture of the case borne in mitts!, he thought the pro priety of having recourse to such an expedient might not improperly be discussed on taking the Report into consideration. Mr. ROBINSON said, it was not an agreeable, task to rise to oppose any specific plan for the relief of distress like that which had been batught under , the consideration of the House by the Honourable Gentleman, but he felt that he should not do his duty , if he were nut to oppose what he could not but re gard as a very unadvised proposition. The Honour. able Gentletnan had only suggested that a bounty should be given for one year, but the House would act unwisely, if, in deciding on this question, they did not look at the grounds on which the Mtrcharts wished a bounty to be granted. They considered a bounty given but for one year would be worth no thing; what they required was a bounty co•ex cosier with that given by the Government of France. It was not, however, for this country to run a race with another in that which was considered to be bad policy.' He therefore hoped the House would not be disposed to accede to the proposition of the Honourable Gen tleman. Besides the bounty called for, it was con tended by some, that Government ought to remove five, ten, OS 15,000 persons from the Island of New foundland. Should this wish be complied with, he I wished to know what in the world was to be done with the unfortunate persons thus removed ? Most of them,. he believed, were from Ireland. Were they to be sent back to their own country, where the dis. tress of the people was greater even than that expe rienced in Newfoundland? Were they to be taken to Canada or Nova SCOIiA There ilie harvest had last year been bad, and the addition of such A num ber of persons to their population as it was proposed to remove, would greatly add to the general distress. When last year Government, anxious to do all they could, had offered, it the Merchants would convey 1,000 persons from Newfoundland to NoTA Scotia, to subsist them for one year at the latter place. till they should be cowbird to establish themselves, the prop ' sition hal been treated as a joke, and ootbing would satisfy the Merchants but a bounty like tbat given by the French Government. Because the trade to New- I foundiand was liable to such great fluctuations ; he..l cause in one year an individual had gained the enor mous sum of aIt22,OVU, and in another had lost re 20,000, it by no means fr•llowed that it would be I wise to give the bounty called tor. On the contrary, , I he was of opinion that by pursuing inch a courw the evil would be increased tenfold. The effect of it! would be to invite numbers from all parts of the country to go there to participate in the bounty, and I under an idea that whatever might occur, they would] be provided for by the Government. With these feelings, he should oppose the motion. Mr. HOLDSWORTH was satisfied, if the Mer chants were not encouraged to send out the usual, supplies in the course of the present year, that in the ensuing winter the population of the island would be reduced to a state of famine. l of Newfoundland to look for : If startle mere:re:erre I rot adored to relieve them, they must suffer starva tion in that barren island. Considering the state these people were in, he hoped the House would Bite the subject their most serious attention. Mr. PROTHEROE thought a very strong case had been made out in favour of the present motion. Humanity, he contended, required that some relief should be afforded to the sufferers, and a heavy le spronsibtlity would attach to the Government if they neglected to take the subject into their serious con. sideration, and suffer the matter to pass by, without endeavouring to do something to mitigate the cala mitous situation of the people of Newicetedland. Mr. F. LEWIS VIAS of opinion, since a call on the present occasion WAS made on the humanity el the House, that it ought to be treated AS a question of humanity and not AS one of genetal policy. II the distress was such as it was said to be, it be desirable to endeavour to sepply a remedy by means of A special grant, to be forwarded to diem in clothes, or in such articles as they might stand mr,-,t in need of i ln their present siteation. He war, however, of *minion that nn distress existed in I:lvvh.unillar.d which be could not parallel nearer house. !fe re minded the House of the distress which hid been brought before them by the Honourable Mcnib-r !or Carmarthen; the vtate of Leland w.ts as bad, and that of Scotland, he feared, was very neatly the same. These, however, it had not been in the ()ewer of too. cerement to relieve. lb! entreated Ilie House then to pause before they took the course recotrinunded to them in favour of Newfoundland. At any rate, he hoped they would not :rave recourse to the old nost: urn of a bounty on exportation, to take A:10,1800 from the pockets of the people of this country, to be in the first instance added to the profits of the Merchants. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought nothing coma be more judged than the proposition for relieving the sufferers by means of a bounty on exportation. He was su:e the tofferers themselves would not deS!re such a measure to Ist: adopted. Ile had boen stirprised at the ,ossertion in the Report that Government were he,witi to support those who had gone to Newfoundland. He begged to ask if Government had sent them there He de• flied that they had done so. - or that they had done any thing to justify such al expectation as hid been encouraged, beyond !voiding r.ti: a bountiful hand to the sufferers from the lire at :it.John's. That the case might be a fit subject for the comiJeration of Government, he eiid not mean to deny ; but that it would be proper to attempt to afford relief by means of the bounty which had been recommended, was that to which he could not subscribe. lie :.hewed the folly of this Government undertaking to give a bounty, because such a course had be..n pursued by the French Government, and contended, if such a principle were once adopted, both countries, endea.. routing to outdo each other in giving bounties, might exhaust their finances in useless competition. Mr. BAILING did not think that there were many in t ccountry who wotial urge the state of our finan ces in opposition to the sum of dtGa.ooo being tip. plied to reliere distress like that which had been brought under the consideration of the House. It ever there were cases in which bounties on exporta tion might to be granted, the present was one of the strongest that could be itnagined. The policy of France in giving bounties, he was of opinion, was sug gested, not so much by the value of the trade for itself, as for its importance with a view to naval strength. In this respect he held it to be of great importance to England. By treaty, perhaps, the necessity of giving bounties in opposition to France might be avoided.— His aversion to bounties was such, that even in a case like the present, he would not sanction the giving of one, without first bestowing the most attentive consi deration on the subject. An advance of money to assist the sufferers was perhaps the only thing that could be done at this time. _ Sir ACLAND was of opinion, the peculiar claims of those whose distress had been now brought under their consideration, was such as to justify A departure from general principles in this particular case, when the object in view WAS 10 say,. .5000 fellow creatures from perishing by famine. Ile would not quarrel with any mode of relief which the Chancellor of the Excheqner might prefer, since he objected to give bounties on exportation, but he hoped be would favour them with an assurance that something should be done. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, the subject had occupied, and would continue to occupy, the most serious attention of Government, who were anxious to of the sufferers relief. In the case of the fire at St. John's, they had shewn they were not disposed to shrink from the responsi lity of atteruptim:, to remedy, or at least to alleviate, the calamity. Ihe same principles wouhl be acted upon with respect to the distress now complained of in Newfoundland. What directions might be sent cut he was not at present prepared to state, but the subject would not be neglected. Mr. M. A. TAYLOR replied. He said lie had only called for that which, under circumstances of a simil a r nature, and at a time when the distress was not half as great as that now complained of, Sad been sanctioned by Mr. Pitt• and Mr. Perceval.— Since the motion he had made was objected to, he wished to know if Ministers would consent • to an Address the Prince. Regent, calling for same pecu niary grant or assistance; to enable those engaged in the N..tet midland trade to meet their new competi tors in the French market ?

Mr. Me A. TAYLOR moved that the Report of de Committee on the Trade of Newtoundland should be entered as read. He then . recapitelated the cala mities which had lately occurred, and of which he had warned the House beforehand. Every thing that he had stated when be formerly addressed the House on this subject, bad been more than justified by the event : and the Mbrebanrs now, engAged in the trade to that Island would not, it appeared from all the evidence which had been given, suffer their capital to remain in it any longer, unless some pro. tection were afforded to them by that /louse. He briefly went over the history of Newioundfand, and FINANCE RESOLUTIONS. Mr. CA LCRAFF gave notice, - that, 'ori account of his Honourable Friend's illness (Mr...

The case was one which in his opinion, called upon Government to take•iin mediate steps to supply a remedy, or at least to di minish the calamity. Mr. CANNING, though much against bounties on exportation and drawbacks being systematically granted—though such . measures be generally consi dered to be 'inexpedient and inefficient, yet in the present instance he thought the Report which had been made by the Committee might furnish some grounds for deviating from the established policy of the Government. It might be wise to grant some tem porary aid, tb enable the Merchants and the people to get over the dangers which menaced them now.
