Reports ordered to be received to-morrow. The Gold Coin Bill was read a first time.—Ordered to be read a second time to-morrow. _ _ _ The bait Bill wa. read a second time.—Ordered to be com mitted on Friday next. The .cotch Military Road Bill was read a second time. '1 he CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER wished this Bill •o be committed forthwith for the purpose of being writ to Scot land, for the revibiun of the Commissioners► of Roads, and after wards being re-committed. The Bill was acLordittly committed, the report received, and, with the amendments, ordered to be printed and taken into far 4 .. ther consideration on the 3d of May next. The clergy Fenaity Su'penbion Bill was read a third time and passed. :%1 AYO PETITION. Mr. WETHERELL moved that the House should receive evidence at their Bar in support of the Peti tion from the Petitioners against the return from the county of Mayo. William Grieve, agent to Mr. Curwen and other Petitioners, was introduced to the Bar of the House, who stated that he could not proceed for want of the names of the sureties I.r the recognizance; that he had written to Dublin to Mr. Macdonald, Mr. Cur wen% agent, on Thursday last, and he expected an answer in the course of a week. After the evidence had withdrawn, Mr. WETHERELL moved that the time for entering into the tecognizance should be enlarged to the 18th April next, which was agreed to accordingly. 'HACKNEY POOR 7BILL. Mr. NIELLI§H moved the second reading of the Hackney Poor till. Mr. iV ROTTESLEY said this Bill contained a clause, the principle of which had been often before reprobated. He certainly thought some reason ought w be given why such a clause war, necessary in the parish of Hackhey. He did not, however, mean at present to oppose the second reading. Mr. ROSE supported the Bill. Mr. BYNG said, if the p - arish of tfackney did not make out as good a case as those parishes who had *obtained similar Acts, he should certainly oppose it. Sir EGERI'ON BRYDGES, though desirous not to oppose a measure of this nature, could not ap. prove of the clause in question. Mr. MELLISH was ready to agree, that unless the House should ba convinced of the necessity for the existence of the clause in question in the-Bill, it ought not to be supported. But he could not see why the parish of Hackney, which was in a similar situation with the sixteen or seventeen adjoining pa rishes, all of which had obtained Acts containing clauses of the nature of that now objected to, should 1 , 1 oe pat on a different footing from their neighbours. Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY wished the Honours. ble Member to inform the House, what there was peculiar in the Parish of Hackney, that the inhabi. bitants should not be subject to the same laWs which prevailed throughout the other Parishes of the king dom. The Hon. Gentleman hi'd said that similar enactments had been obtained i the sixteen or seven.. teen adjacent parishes. This fight be the case, but how did it affect the parish of 'Hackney ? He was not desirous of dividing the House, but he thought it was incumbent on those, who brought forward a Bill so injurious to the lower orders of people, to shew what was so peculiar in this parish which required so particular a law. There were ten thousand parishes in this kingdom;, and in this manner by introducing one law for one parish, and another for a different pa rish, the greatest confusion and uncertainty would pre vail throughout the country. These Poor Bills were in general passed in silence. The House would be asto nished to know all the Bills which they had'passed. They were not aware of the laws which they had made for prticular parishes. . it might be right to make . the landlord pay the poor's rates, and to place him under the necessity of recovering again from his tenants ; but if such a measure were necessary, why confine it to the Palish of Hackney, and not extend it throughout the kingdom ? There was not a pa rish throughout the country which did not contain persons of the peculiar descriptirn alluded to in this Bill ; and there w‘is no reason why the same law ought not to prevail in all those other parishes as in this ? But the House would have an opportunity of considering this cicstion . more fully after the recess, and the general sense of the House might then be taken. He thought therefore the second reading of this Bill should be put off till the first Thursday after the recess. Mr. WROTTESLEY observed, than when he spoke before, he did not know that a Bill had been framed according to a report before the House. Mr. MELLISH wished the Learned Gentleman (,`;ir Samuel Rom& y) to give his attendance in the Committee, when the clause objected to should be introduced. The delay required might be of great detriment to the parish of Hackney. II itnswer to what had been urged respecting tl.e necessity of the clause, he cfaild say, that selbBo mild only be collecteJ from 4760 houses. This Bill was brought in by petitioners who paid 4'26,00.0 of poor's rates, and another Bill was to be brought in by a part of the parish who paid a much smaller proportion, and if the delay proposed should take place, the second Bill would have the.precedeir;e, Alter a. few words from Mr. WET/!ERELL, Sir S. Roittu,v, and Mr. ROSE, the /louse divided—For the second reading, 37 ; against it, 36.—Majority in favour of the second reading, 1. COLONIAL OFFFES: Mr. GOP3OURN' produced Papers relating to appohittnFitts to offices in the colonies, called for '; by an tion. Member (Mr. Craver) on the preceding evening, which he moved to be printed. Mr. CREEVEY hoped the second reading of the Colonial Office Bill would be allowed to stand over to another day. The papers produced were of the greatest importance to the proper understanding of the question, and ought to came into the hands of Members previous to discussion. On examining these papers, it would be found that all the offices were held during pleasure, except that of Chief Clerk of the Island of Jamaica ? 1)44 by Sir. Evan Nepean. During the twenty-eight years he had filled this of fice? he had only • been one month in Jamaica. He askcd no longer a delay than Monday or Tuesday. Mr. GOLBOURN said, if the 'Hon, Member could skew that the papers bad the least bearing on the measure which was to come before the House to morrow, he would not oppose the delay. The Hon. Gentleman had adverted to Sir Evan Nepean's com mission : the fault found with the Act of the 22d of the King was, that it gave a power of getting an unlimited leave of absence. After a few words from Mr. Wurrl aE4n, the CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER, Mr. ABEHCRONNIE, and Mr. BRAND, the papers were ordered •to be printed. Mr. GOLBOURN then moved that the second reading of the Colonial Office Bill, which stood for to-morrow (this day) should be postponed to Friday next.—Ordered. 20 0 5 0 5 0 5 5 1 0 SHIP-BUILDING. An Account was moved for of all the ships of the line, frigates, and smaller vessels, built in meicl:ants' yards since 1793.—Ordered. THE.BOURBONS AND TI NEGOCIATIONS. Mr. BRAND rose for the purpose of putting two questions to the Right Hon. Gentleman (the Chan cellor of the Exchequer), to answer which he hoped there would be no objection. First , whether Govern ment had sent mg, or was about to send uut, a ship to convey the Duke of Berri to Bourdeaux : And, secondly,, whether negotiations were still carried on at Chatilton between the Ambassadors of the Allies and of the Emperor of France ? The CFIANCEI.LOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that with a due regard to the public serxice, nu explanations could at present be entered into. THE SPEECH OF THE SPEAKER. Mr. CARTWRIGHT, seeing a Right Honour able Gentleman in his place, begged to be informed what day had been fixed upon by the Noble Lord his friend (Morpeth) for the motion respecting the late :address of the Speaker ? Mr. YONSONBY replied, that Friday, the 22d April had been chosen, as it was supposed that by that day the sittilig of the variNs Quarter Sessions would be concluded. Mr. CARTWRIGHT was of opinion the; many Members could not be returned and in their places by that early day. He apprehended too that any notice fur a call of the House for the 22d of April would be shorter than custom required. Mr. PONSONBY replied, that more than three weeks notice would be allowed ; and he knew that from particular circumstances it would not be conve nient to his Noble Friend to fix a later day for his motion. The Monday succeeding would be the fur. thest possible postponement. Mr. CARTWRIGHT remarked, that adjourn ments had recently been made for the convenience of the attendance of the Irish Members ; and he 41n ped that this slight accommodation to the general wish of country Members would not be resisted. Mr. PONSONBY denied that adjournments had at any time been Made solely for the convenience of the Irish Members—(Hear, hear.) He saw Ito ade quate reason for postponing the subject beyond the 22d April. _ _ Mr. - CARTWRIGHT moved that the House should be called over on the 22d April. Mr. PONSONBY begged to 'be allowed to second the motion, since it met with his entire concurrence. Mr. BANKES thought that the House a t ut -A -pot to be left in the dark, as to the shape in which this important question would be brought before it ; nor ought the distinguished individual who was the sub ject of it to be taken by surprise. Mr. PONSONBY.—" I beg to take the liberty of saying, that not only is there no disposition to take the individual whose speech is to be the subject of dis cussion by surprise, but that no question can easily come before this,House which would take the Hon. Member in question by surprise."—(Hear, hear.) Mr. BAN KES answered, t'i.at no Member of the House, in a question of a personal nature like the present, ought to be taken by surprise —(Hear, hear.) He also begged to take the liberty of saying, that the situation of things in which the high individual in question was now placed, had never occurred, and would never have been permitted to have occurred, with regard to any-other person, Mr. TIERNEY felt himself called upon to state, that he knew it to be the intention of his Noble Friend (Lord Morpeth) to communicate to the Speaker, personally, the nature of the motion he in tended to submit, a sufficient time before the 224:1 April, to enable him to meet it in any way he might deem expedient, But was it ever heard until this night, that the House was previously to be put in pos. session of the terms of the motion ? A notice had been' given, that one Mr. Speaker's Speech, on a certain occasion, will be taken into consideration on a certain day, and the Speaker was . informed in due time of the nature of the motion : this was all that in can dour or courtesy could be required, and all that had ever been done. Mr. BATHURST maintained that it was by no means unusual to state to the House the nature of a motion which was to be made on a day a fortnight or more subsequent. He begged to ask whether a single instance could be produced where a question of privilege had been hung up like the present ? (Mar, hear.) He required to be informed also, whether there ever was a case before, wl.ere, after a deity so lung, the individual who was to introduce the subject 'had not made up his mind upon the precise name of the motion he would submit to the House ? Jt was not yet known what sort of complaint was to be made afainst the speech of the Right Hon. Gentlermoi.— '1 he Noble L►►rd had not yet determined what his motion shoulei be ii was he not resolved upon the ge neral bearing and effect of it ? The House ought not to be satisfied with a guess at the terms of a motion on so important a discus • qa. (Thar.) Mr. C. WYNNE observed, that the whole of this dispute arose from the nose' and Lll:CQlitAltUticlai doctrine which had of late years been introduced, that it was necessary to give a notice before a motion was made. ( Hear, hear.) There was no Parliamen tary rule for any such proceedings ; it was an innova tion destructive of the privileges of Members, and ought to be abolished. (Hear.) The original teason for giving a notice was to collect a sufficient atter, dance on the day the subject was to be disciissed, but ,it was entirely at the option of the individnal vtitether he would or would not give it. If it was contended that the House had a right to expect it, he distinctly an.! expressly denied it. Ile protested warm) y against the system of 'catechising and requiring the exact words ie l atli;nmotoioton m nitob,eis intrf, made f o u n ce a d , time was tenet. ed tor considering it, if the Member relitsedrtroevpiooi.utb. pone it, the House had tLen the pow e r to adjourn.the consideration of it to a fu ture day ; but it h 3c no power to controul a Memb er i n makin g . a mot?,.;, at any time he thought it exped:.:4:!, communication. ( Ikar, Mr. V ANSI 11:ART.—Tie I lo!ve 0:04LI recd. lect, tliac the character of an indi7idual, occupyin c ,q the most distinguished pl a ce in I 10n5..., vol ve - 1 in the motion proposed to be made oil a I.:iure d No doubt the Noble Lord and his friends have, beton. this time ? made their determination upon the form ct the motion they will adopt. Th's, I apprehend, i-. the first time that any Men,ber has heel) allowed to bring forward a personal charge—(The word lowed" was echoed from many parts of the Ho-se, add consid?rable confusio7 was created by the em. ploy ment of it by Mr. V ansi!tart.) Mr. WYNNE,—Mr. Speaker, I r:se to order, Surely this house will not .endtire to be told that a Member is not to be ollowd to make any motion at any time he thinks proper. (Hear, hear, /.tar.)-11 the right, the tind.uhted right, of every Member, and I call the Right I lon. Gentleinm to ord.'s. Mr. VAN'S' IT RT.--,-11 it L. the tight of any Member, the House wiil take care that no motion is brought forward and decided without due delibrra, tion. (4t/ r, hear.) —at is true that the 'louse has the remedy in its own fratid , 7, by adjourning the subject: but it may not be proJent to compel the Hothe to exert itsrightinthis respect. Mr. WHITI:REAI3.—When o.e Right Her.. Gentleman talks ofallowing Members In forward motions, he seems to forget that it is the undisputed right of any Member ,even to bring forward an im. peachment, and to lay it upon the table, without no Lice. (Hear, hear.)—lf any thing could deter my No. ble Friend from doing that which courtesy only re quires, it woi:ld be the employment of such a term as allowed. Were I placed in the situatiOn of the Noble Lord, it would operate strongly upon my mind *riot to do even the courtesy of communicating my motion, lest it should in future be construed into a duty.— (Hear, hear.)—Even with regard to the very indivi. dual now in the Chair, it is not unprecedeeted make a motion without the notice of a moment, at the conclusion of a debate. It will be in the recollee tion of the House, that only a few Sessions ago, when , an imputation was supposed to have been cast upon the Speaker, an Hon. Gentleman, then Secretary of State, without notice, on the very evening that the imputation was cast, submitted to the House a com plimentary proposition upon the subject. It i; true that the motion of my Noble Friend will he rather of an opposite nature, but the same reasoning Applies, and it might have been argued then. with as much reason as the contrary. is contended now, that the House should be put in possession of the precise words in which the vote of commendation of the Chain was couched. I protest against any such practice, and were I the Noble Lord, 1 would not coutneini cate my motion even to the Speaker, one day ear. her, but perhaps some days later, in consequence of this attempt to draW out the very terms of the niceion. When the Pion. Gentleman (Mr. Cartwright) taleed of previous adjournments, did he mean to siy that they were made merely for the convenience if the, Irish Members ? It is impossible. A Noble Viscoilet (Castlereagh) now absent, tool: part in the discessio 1 1 on those occasions—his manner was Ira very to the tone employed by his representatives to day, and I lament that they have not new the benefit of his assistance; if they had, they would never have been so unwise as to take the high ground they h ,ve assumed on this occasion, from which they have been tumbled, partly by their own weakness and in capacity, to maintain themselves any where, and partly by the slippery and untenable nature of the ground on which they ven t ured tau-cad." (hear, hear.) Mr.WALLACE said that his Right Hon. Friend (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) ;:at men to say that a Member should not be allowed make a motion, but that the House would never permit such a subject to be discussed without due deliberation,: (Hear, hear.) lc was not a question whether a Mem ber should be allowed to exert his privilege. He knew the Noble Lord (Morpeth) too well to think he would do any thing inconsistent with the most honourable conduche--(//ear, hear.) Mr. PONSONBY, without deciding what the Right Hon. Gentleman meant by the employment of the offensive word allow, expressed his conviction that his Noble Friend would do nothing that was in consistent with due courtesy, but even to the Speaker he did not know that courtesy would require that the identical words of the intended motion should be communicated until it was announced to the whole House. A; to the general nature and import of it he put it to any Member, whether he could say epee his honour that he did not know generally what WaS the nature of the motion to be propesed on the 2.2 ii of April ?—(lleor,/r, ar.)—No man of common sense could he ignorant that it was rather disapproving than approving 0:e address of the Speaker. It he had, had k in his power then to read the motion, after what had - been said, he would not indulge the cute'. sity of the other side of the House. Mr. COURTNEY said that hp, for one, was reall very ignorant—( Near)—of the natute ot the motion of the Noble Lord. It might be for a supposed breach of privilege, or misconduct in the exercise of a privilege ; or one or both of them. It was of consi derable importance in his view that the I louse should he infOrmed more particularly upon the subject. The CHANCELLOR ot the EXCHEQUEIZ, What I said has been so misrepresented, th. tit be comes necessary for me to give some explanation. meant 6 take a distinction between a notice and 4 charge : notices are, I admit, undoubtedly in all cases mere matters of courtesy, but I apprehend that a per sonal charge w:.s never di:cussed on the very day.
