CLERGY OF IRELAND. Mr. CORRY moved the Order of the Day for the Mule to rafolve into Committee, to confider the ex pediency of enabling the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland to advance out of the public Treafury to the Board of Firlt Fruit , ; to be by them advanced in Loans to Clergy men having fmall benefices, and no Glebe Houles, to ere& Glebe Hodes for their refidence. - - The Houfe refolved accordingly. Mr. Cotter then entered into a chronological detail of the Infli tution of the Board of Fiat Fruits in Ireland, from the time of its inltitut'ion in the reign of Qteen Anne, to the prefent time ;—in the cootie a - which, he Rated, that its principal revenues were derived from charges upon the annual income of Church Livings beyond a certain amount, to be appropriated for the building and repair of Churches, a pm-pole to which their revenues were not adequate to the extent which was moil definable ; but towards this purpofe they were in the habit of receiving annually front the Irifh Parliament a confiderable donation. He then went into a fummary Ratement of their accounts, by the !aft of which it appeared, they had a balance in hand of above 37,00c1. The purpofe for which this Bill was introduced, was nearly to the full as &Arable as that of the building and repair of Churches, and one which mat contribute in an effcftual way to procure that which was jullly held to be fo very defirable, namely, the Refidence of the Clergy. He moved, that the Chairman be ;nitrated to move for a furn not exceeding go,cool. for that purpofe. Mr. FRANCIS wiihed to know if the fums to be advancsd in this way would not be Co advanced under tome competent furety, that they would be expended kw filer for the purpofes to which they were fo granted ? He obferved, that by the account Rated by the Honourable Gentleman, there was already a very large balance in the hands of the Board of Fit a Fruits, remaining from year to year unappro priated, and which, had it been placed in the public funds, would have conliderably accumulated for the benefit of the objetfs of the inßitution. It was his win' that every reafnnahle means fhould be afforded for maintaining the relpeaability of the Church of Ireland, and the comforts or . its Clergy ; becatire he was Pure fah provifion mita materially contribute to the maintenance of morality in that country. — But there was another point connefted with this topic, which he defired to touch on only with the greateit delicacy. He himfelf did not pretend to know the local circumitances of Ireland, or the caufes of that rebellions fpirit which was now agai.: breaking out in that kingdom. He tinderitood, th.:ll the candid n;tininns if thole who knew the local cir cumllances of that country infinitely bettter than he did, and who he was convinced had the unity, the protti.erity, and the happinefs of the tritifit Enni.irs at heart, that the great grievance complained of by the great majority of the population of Ireland, who v-e:e Roman wa. the exaction tithrs for the maintenance ef the ...logy of the church of Eng land, at the fame time that they were tithed in ano ther way for the maintenance of their own Clergy ; and thus y:ere they doubly laddled Yid' an heavy im rat. Ile did no t pretend to point out what 5e 0 .. , ..1 be the moil proper mod.t of remedying this et il, and o ,icting the n lads of great mats of lan pe p ; but he fincerely ssiihed fume meth: co old be di riled kr doing away this obnr i m . p,ll upon th-t Catholics of tit .t country, and than eiovia;ing that which had io lolly, and fn unitnrmly p r eyed a foto it: -1 diloaltint a''.l itrot nion. lithos could he done, an Iheby no mear walled it to he done in any way inj.n ious to the ettablifhed Clertry, he was convino ed it would do more towards quieting the minds of the lower wale! in that count: v, than any nott?r means which legifloi , n nr e.oct.:i , n OEII ; and he trollied, that eycn late as is sea, in C... n hot !`4 't Miloollers would milli tit e f t , rnt Pa.ii..in• y the autojet:t witlia •ts tl tome tßi.i,at mealure. Sir. T. Mire.tm rote to ilk Come quetliona about the arrears in the hands of the Board of Firft Fruits, and why they were not appropriated t Mr. Coaav anfwercd, he WAS not prepared to date minutely the reafons why they differed their money to be leofe in the hands of a Banker. All he could now fay was, that they were obliged annually to Rate their accounts to the Commiffioners ;—and as they were in the habit alfo of annually receiving a confiderable donation from the hint Parliament, he mutt prefume their accounts were fatisfaetory. Mr. HUTCIiiNSON laid, no man more fincerely witted than he did. to maintain the redicaability of the Protctlant Church of Ireland, and the comforts of i• 11 Patiors; but he mod cordially concurred with the Hon. Member near him (Mr. Francis) in the urgent and important ncceility of going into fri>me invelli gatiun upon the lithjeft of Ireland, previoufly to the approaching Prorogatiiin, and endeavour to come at the true cattle cf the unhappy dillurbances, and if if poaible, fame lenient remedy. He had all eady three or four times in the caurfe of this St ffion endeavoured to call the attention of the Holite, and of his Alajelly's Minillcrs in particular, to the fubjea of Ireland. He had endeavoured to imprefs upon them the importance, at all times, but more efpecially at the precrot, of attaching to this Country and its Government, the confidence and ad feElions of that people. He had endeavoured to im. prefs upon them, that there they would rind a tower of firength, with the aid of which they might defy the enmity of the world. He would now put it again to his hlajetly's Minillcrs; and if he could not obtain from then, a promife that they would, before the pro rogation, bring forward for enquiry the fuhjeet of I ilt) affairs, with a ►iew to force remedy, he pledged himfclf that he would at an early day bring forward the fubjea, feeble as his efforts migkt he.—[Mr. Hutchinfon was proceeding, but was called to order three fucceaive times by Mr. Alexander, who laid it was not from any oppofition to the Hon. Gentleman's propofal he did fo, but to remand him, mat his notice would come more regularly as a dation proceeding, as it was not orderly in the Committee.) Mr. COSAY'S motion was agreed to, and the Chair man ordered to report to-morrow. MILITIA. Mr. SHIRIDAN role to explain fomething that had fallen from him on a former evening, which had been mifeonceived, and he was fine unintentionally mil tated. It was in relation to the impute& Rate of the Militia Regiments in Kent and Surrey, which cur dalliance he was Rated to have charged upon the negligence of the Islagifirates of dick counties. But he did not impute the circumftance to their negli• gence, or to the noble Lords at the head of. the Li:u tenancy in thole counties ; and he had indeed the authority of one Noble Lord (Lord Grantley) to de. dare, that the deficiency Arofe from a defect of law to enable the Lieutenants to enforce the returns from the Deputy Officers. He trulled, however, the next re ctum from tb.:fe Counties would prove the Militia in a much lefs deleelive Rate; and he wilhed to know from the Right Honourable Secretary at War, whe- ther it was intended to adopt any meafure to render the law more efficient ? as, if it was not, he timid move for a return of the whole Militia of the county, in order that the Houle might fee where the defici encies exilled, and who were really to blame. The SECRITARY at Wait laid, that certainly he had himfelf remarked on a former night, that feveral regiments of Militia were grofsly defective in their numbers, and particularly thole in the counties round London ; but he did not attach blame to any parti cular perfons, but merely Rated the blame mull 1... y fomewhere. iloiNever, by the hat returns from thole counties, he was glad to find the deficiency confider ably obviated, under the Bill for railing the Supple mentary Militia; and he trulted that by the time that returns fhould be made up to the fira. of Auguß, the regiments would be Rill more complete. If the Hon. Member was difpofcd to move for the returns of any particular regiment, there would be no objecrtion to produce it ; but a general motirn for the return of all, he fhould °pl& as unneceilary. INDIA BUDOLT. Lord CASTLFREAGI4 role to bring forw•arl his In dia Budget. • After premifing how much he was aware that he fhould trefpafs unpleafantly upon the attention of Gentlemen not much in the habit of turning their attention to fuch details, by a dry and ' abflrufe ftaternent of figures, he proceeded to take a' very enlarged view of the comparative lime of the Company's Revenue and Expenditure in India; which. as relating to an extenfive empire in that quarter of the globe, producing an annual revenue of thirteen miilicns, was of In great importance to the power. the commerce, and the wealth of this cniintrs, and could not be confidered otherwife than in an highly interefling point c..f view. His detail tinder the feve rat bonds of the different Governments in India was interfperied with comparative obfervations as he pro. ceeded.
