Sir. M. W. Rint.Ey hail hoped t hat the nn inimity of the !loose Would out be diqurlied. The situation fdf the cmintry 'would not admit of voting so large a sum as that proposed -by the night Honourable Gentleman. At ail events he was anse that the House mail not,ionsistetitly uith its duty to the riblie, consent to vote so large a sum as that proposed by the Honourable Gentleman in his amendment. He should, if it was persisted in. divide the House. Mr. VAPSSItTaitT hail brought forward the propopition, nil fixed the `the citeurnitonccs of the eoindry. Mi. H. SUSINEIt (Ml not Wish to press kis amendment, and withdrew his 'wand). Mr. rONSUN Y stns glad the. Honourable Member had withdrawn his amendment. With every respect for the late Speaker for his scrvieer, he could not think that he should • Nlo his duly to the public, if he voted for such a proposition ; the cirenntstiniees of the country were to be considered ; and with respect to the sum proposed by the Hight Hun. (tientleman 01r. V) if any lie thought even that was rather I.n high for the Midi's of the people to support large grants; for sensuionating public servants was instead 'of increasing, rather decreasing. Mr. H. Suotrien should feel it his ditty to move that the Grant Ise extended to two lives instead of one, and if the motion should he objected to, must press it to a ditision. Mr. TunaTu nwst COaid not, with his view of economy, consent to support the prOposition of 'the Honourable . Gentleman, • nor could he agree to vote lain 40001. The state of the pnUie purse would not sanction him in so doing. He might, however, consent to a proposition for 30001. a year fur two 'lives. Mr. Pitt had not more ; nor hail many gallant Officers; the Duke of Wellington at first had only 20401. pension per annum. To the grant of •44001. he should strongly object soul gise his vote against it. Mr. Cc En was of the same opinion, and if his night Honourable Friend intended to divide 'the House, would sete with 1 . ....... Mr. LAMUTON ; .roposed an amendment to the effect that 300J1. only be granted. Tim Committee divided.—For the original motion 120 —For the Amendment 42—Majority 81. On our return- to the gallery, ge e found the House discuss ing Mr. H. Suinner's proposition for evitentling the teem, and granting the snot for two lives beyond the Noble Lord's. Mr. VAAIITTART was not disposed to support the motion. Ms. J. WARIb eOlllll not agree to vote the grant now demanded, on account of the Peerage. Ile deprecated the idea of establishing so dangerous a precedent its a cow Ltinitional point of view. The proposition was negatived without a divison.—The Report was ordered to be received to-morrow. Some couversatiou took Ware between Mr. Ponsonhy, Mr. Speaker, Lord Castlereagh, Mr. Vansittart, to• specting an irregularity, in not entering a motion on tio- Jour. ands which had come under dismission, on a former evening, respecting the Message front the Prince Regent. The result was a motion, now made by Mr. Ponsouby," That the w hole of the entry be made on the Journals of the 5d of June, namely, that the Message, &Le. was with consent of the llouse willt4rawn." The motion being pot was negatived. SALE OF OAHE. GoloherWoon moved the second reading of the Bill, for logalizing the t.ale of Game. Lord DMERIMOST objected to the second reading of the Bill, which would pat an end lo one of our greatest colintr3, vousernents. lie moved that the Bill be read a second time that day Eix months. The motion being seconded, the Bill was thrown out. costiarrm: OF SL'PPI.Y. The House went into a Committee of Supply, to which the Ordnance Estimates were referred. Mr. WARD/4;6d, as there was no alteration in arse Esti- Vll4lO , racept a diminution of expence Inc Ireland, he thisaiii not employ thu time of the House with any statement.

However, he would pospone this vote till a future night. On the vote for keeping lip the Vaccine Establishments, oar. Cussesls washed, that tie the efficacy of Vaccination should be enquired into. Mr. F. Lewis was of opinion, that even a doiffit should not . be cast on the efficacy of this great blessing to mankind. Lord C.I.STLNItgAIai said, that in other countries Vaeeina. *lien had driven away the small pox l and if ii were more generally used, it would perhaps extinguish the small pea us a disease altogether.

Lord FoLcsense rose to muse, as an instrnetinn to the Committer appointed to cuntider the papers referred to their consideration, which bad been contained in the greets bag, that there be submitted to their consideration accounts of the numbers of persons committed tinder the warrants of the Se cretary of State, or sit Privy Conusellorn, their warrants of eoremituivnt, and the 11:1111lb of the Magistrates et others who had signed those warrants, }eminent to the Act passed this Session to suspend the Helmets Cot pits, Act and empower his Majesty's Ministers to coo 1111 l it and imprison persons suspected of traitorous designs against the Government of the country. When the lives and liberties of the whole population were as it were placed in We power of the Minister of the day,lt was Dot too mach to ask, that the names, fee. of those in confine ment should be snade known. lie concluded by recommend ing the motion in tde•strungest summer to the noose. Mr. liet.se Am:macron regretted the absence eche Noble Lord (Castlereagh), hut he should feel no hesitation in accent modeling the matter so far as to propose ass ansendosent to the present motion, which should embrace the names, ages, and places of confinennot of the portans alluded to. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT considered, that, after what bad to aispired this evening there could be lint one opinion of the warming and flagit• course pursued by Ministers on the pi escsit occasion. He lamented to see, 001 had trans pired, that the Essee• live Government of the country had be. come the actual gaoler of the subject, as in all oilier arbitrary Governments.--This was indeed placing the victim within the avenger's reach. Mr. CANNING considered the speech of the Km. Baronet calculated to revive and Wriest: spirit and life into the disaf fected throeighout the kingdom. Was this a moment to trifle with the precarious peace of the public? This was a crisis of peculiar danger. He concluded• with moving, as an amend ment, that the ',object of inquiry should be confined to the hers, pl.sces ut confiteineet, and Jess of the persons now iu confinement on charges of high treason. After some ipirited olisetw.ints between Mr. Ponsonby, Mr. Bathurst, Sir W.llnrrosighe. and an ;misstated reply from Lord Folkatone, the House dis ides], when Thu numbers were—For the original motion .).1— Against it 10 t --Ma jority si I.

Mount:, ordered to he printed. EXPORTATION Of CORN, ..... Mr. PONFONBY said, he wished to call the attention of of the House, fur a few moments, to a subject which was ex tremely interesting at the present time, lie was informed in the course of that day, and Ie had every reason to believe his information correct, that exportations of corn from this country to France, were now taking place ler aff arrange ment entered into by individuals with the French Go% ern ment. Ile did nut know %theater, under the existing laws, the Government of this country had any power of acting in such a Case. _ . Lord CAsmtine sr: n said, that the ineont enienee was not likely to last long. If we interfered to prevent the exporta tion in the present instance. it might operate to hinder tli the grain which came into the country upon speculation. it might • also drive foreign Governments to the adoption of coercive measures when our own necessities tequireil supply. Lord Cttf:S.ItEAGII moved that the Speaker should issue a new writ fur die City of Limerick, in the room of Colonel Vereker, now a Peer of the United Kingdom. The• Report of the Committee on the Consoli fated Pond Bill was brought up and agreed to, and the 11:11 ordered to he brimalit in tieeorilingly.
