Mr. VAKSITTART bronght up a Bill for pe rm itti ng t h e exporta tion of corn and grain, and moved *first reading o'f it. Mr. ROSE 61fla notforbear expressing his sense of the monstrous mischiefs that must attend a serioifs alteration of the law, mit stood on this subject. Mr. COKE (of Norfolk) wished the House to be on its guard against the statements of the lasipeaker.' That Gentleman was at. ways the supporter of every measure of Mr. Pitt : he (Mr. Coke) thank God ! had been almost siways among his opposers. If, there— tore, be spoke well of the Con"uet of that Minister, he might have some credit for his opinion. The Hon. Gentleman had stated, that Mr. Pitt reluctantly agreed to the measure adopted in 1364. He (Mr. C.) was one of those' Gentlemen who saw Mr. Pitt on the sub. ject, and there were . many who Could confirm his statement of' time Opinions then expres%ed bj , 'Mr. Pitt, and contradict • that of the Hon. Gentleman. Had he referred to Mr. Pitt in this Way with a view to.influe.nce the votes of those Gentlemen who were atioacheil to Mr. I'itt's memory c lie was firmly convinced, that Mr. Pitt was sincere in 1804.. The vestion now was as to the protectiog - price. He was not for that degree of price which wail° cove r high rent; a system which must be mischievous to the country, and iniu, rimms to the landed interest. He, for one, wished for nothing be. yond fair prices; andTair tents. He was desirous of seeing a greater degree of confidence between landlords and tenants, which would have the effect of bringing corn tp less prices than had been usual. He thought that time laud well miltiVated, would produce twice as timeli'corri as it-did. Last - )Car had pranced a most abundant bar. vest, and corn conid now be sold go' as to remunerate the farmer. Thirty'shillings was equal thii . year to forty iu price for some year* before. • Mr. Rnsf said, that Mr. Pitt did cheerfully agree to raising the price the Hi r st tim e ; but reluctantly to the higher price. It his decided opinion that the landholder should have a price sufficient to protect him: hitt that the iinportcr also shoidd have his iirotec tion. It was always his ebject to Make biinsoll clearly understood. Ife had never Said that c6rii should not be proportioned to rent. But now they were about to make a great alteration without a pro per inqinry : they had no eVidelice.; they .had only examined three Irish Gentlemen ( laugh). lii• 'thought the price proposed au sinfit thing. Ile Would not be deterred by imputations. It would tend to raise corn and bread improperly. He would nut forbear to State tkis in ilv4anee of the Hon. 'Gentleman. ' • Mr. WESTERN was at issue with the Hon. Meniher as to Mr. Pitt's opinion, and *was pesitive that Mr. Rose Was right as to the conversation. When he stated to that Minister the measure proposed, the latter raid, he thought there conid In , yo oppositi..n to it, and that the • furthers 'alteration mig ht take 'place Subse quently. Mr. ,Datrlps GIDDY was an advocate tbr the principle of the measure ; before the House, net because, as it was alledged, it po etise& to•fender corn cheaper, but becaisie it must Serve to guard tgaketst the recur , once of . these thictuations of prices, which had beets tound Pa distressing to the people. He was not for reducing the price of corn very low, because he thought such a reduction C0i4.1 never take place consistently _With the best Interests of die country, or the _security of the Constitution. w • After a few words from My. ELLISO.N the pc U. which proposes that the Pxportation of Corn shall not in future be subject to the pt&ruetit of any Ditties, was read a first 111111 ordered to be read a geond time on Wednesday; audio be pirinted. - Mr. HUSNISiON then moved the order_ot the da y for taking in to consid e ration .the other resolutions yespectiwg the import of Corn. • . Lord. A. HAMILTON condemned the measure altogether, and trioyelt th*t the farther consideration of the Resolutions should be Postponed till that clay three months. Sir. 0. CLitnit was of opinon a great quantity of arable land would be .turned Into pasture, if the importation of foreivi corn was not discottraged.,Ale considered the increase of scale laid down ley Mr. 'Hiiskisson as too low. . . ' • Mr: .WESTERN observed. that upon an average of the last ten years, the pro;lnction of core imported was very annul coniparefi to .that which was grown : he had ascertained that from a ( allele , estimate which he had made. With respect to a tree trade, thy. idoPtiou of it he considered' as iMpossible, iu the e mesdete scow of the word. He should like to know, from the advocates of free Corn Trade, in what manner they would have _that trade tablishetl.
