Lord DONOVOHMORE agreed with the Nettle Earl (Liverpool) that a general discussion would be itsefaLbefore the House had made up its misd as to the detail Noising proved it mots than the spirit of the discussion Eloarnamest hasi throw-u the inquiry off front tbidisebrei, aM4lll.4llres 'sorry for it.

Mi nisters ought to have made themselves Praiinide ac quainted so well with the los%oings of thecae, dirt nu parts of the petition could strike them unprepared. They had the power of applying a remedy, for they had a power that could secu,e their measures in both Houses. What came from his side of the Horse was not sure of success. Any great proposition so origi nating was rather certain of foilnre. Did Ministers mean to say, by thowing off this duty.. that thee had no cure, no alleviation to offer? lie did not think the Noble Marquis wished to blink the question of agricultural distress, but at the same time he was of opinion that Oovernment ought to take up the peti tions on that subject, and fairly state what ther pro. jest was. if the condition of those people was ex ceedingly ill, were they afraid, that by asking ques tions they would only make it worse? Lord LIVERPOOL explained, and said, that be did not mean to give a simple vote on the motion of the Noble Marquis, and therefore he had declared it to be his intention not to limit his observations to the notice, but to state his opinions on the other eubjecte connected with it in a general way. He agreed: that if Ministers did not make inquiry it would be a ne glect of duty ; bat more evil resulted from impratiesee and precipitation than neglect—the trade of the country was an instance. What was to be complained of on that point, in looking to the state.of trade, and to the Statute Book, was. not that the Legislature had done too little. but too mach. They had dose so from good motives, no doubt, but the mischief was not the less. Precipitate measures of an individual were bad, bat they were ten times more dangerous when led um by Government. • Lied OROSVENOR, is explanation, lamented that hies•Me4mmip!* Miriam had given me, h.r. that al alleviation of distress was to be obtained by an atfEetr lion on their part to retrenchment aad economy.

Lord STANHOPE roe!, pursuant to maim to sub mit a motion for the appointment of a Committee to consider the means and praciesbilitk of givine em ployment to the distressed maunfastares. His Lord ship observed, that •although the Legislature might not have the power to restore the peat mass of the community to the state of Condom and bappinese of which it had been•deprived,' yet it was its sinty to in. quire into the calamitous state of firbifc . Q irs, and discover in what respects its ceases migl t be aster, Wad, and its consequences mingeted; if not altogee that remedied. It could not be deeded that distress was great and general, and that a seditious Spirit Ind gone abroad under its•fatal influence.

It was certain the, although a great deal of discontent had Arisen from diitross, yet there had been inditetioos of ditaKertion at plates where the evil had net boa petalierls oplmessimi. He was aware that the example of the French Iterebatlon had a great effect in producing, or at least extending, the papul sr agitation.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said, that he felt it his duty to make some observatiour, in reference to th. **etc ut the petition just laid before the House; but he tirst wiehri to know from tl , e Noble Earl oppo site (Liverpool) whether it was his intention to ground any motion upon it. Lord LIVERPOOL stated, that it was the intention in another place to institute an inquiry relative to the genetel objects to which the petition referred. But he should have no objection to u motion upon the sub ject, erovided it was properly limited ; and, if the No ble Lord did make such a motion, he (Lord Liverpool) would tat., that opportunity of stating generally what his views were on that important subject, in order to satisfy the public mind and, the petitioners. Before any itiquiry was gone into, it might be of great service to enter into a general discussion that there might not go abroad any deception. Whatever day the Noble Lord tired upon for his motion, he purposed to state Ibis own opinion. The reason why he did not think the matter ought to be at present entertained by the executive was, because investigation would be endless, unless the Otovernment saw its way clearly ; but he had no objection to the institution of an inquiry, on con dition that it was properly limited. The Noble Lord bore witness to the exemplary conduct of the inhabit ants ot Birmingham, in their present state of.suffering land distrees. The great mass of the population bore no.- afflictive change is their circumstances, with a temper that showed great firmness, patience, aad dis tinguished loyalty ; and, he said, they were enti tled. on the fiele merement of their grievances, to the attention, and, if trossil-le, the remediel intetiseence of OW lieltat, _-_ 714 arquis of LANSDOWNE observe!, ilent •the petition was eminently entitled to the consideration osielint Legislature. Its statements were not exagge rated. and its language was, at the Mae time, for elbteaou .......... „• • . t Mode et relief, but left it to the wisdom of their Lord ships. He had hoped the Noble Earl would have in sfituted an inquiry, that would guide the country tu the true explanation ot the causes let national sudiering, and 0 e discovery of belt remedy. He should, in that case., have abstained from givinv- ionic, for a Committee on the subject : it was of consequence that such a motion should come from Ministers... No such inquiry could produce any material advantage unless it had the co-operation of tioverninent, which most ensure the concurrence of both Houses. But as the Noble Ltd, at the other side had declined the tuntion, be felt it his duty, etas early day, to 'Omit a notice oral motion op the subject. He did not propuee that the question, in its most exclusive and complicated in terests, should be at present brought bcfote the Houle; he would confine himself to a practe.able part, and would content himielf with moving for a Conon.ittee to investigate the means of extending foreign trade. He di,' not II:Milli, however, that such a motion was to relieve the lionse or Ministers from the duty of sifting to the bottom the source of the evils under which the nation laboured, and ascertaining the remedy appli cable to them. There could be no more sacred duty, or one at the same time more difficult and ccanpr,hen sive. His own shoulders, he said, were nut strong enough to support so burthensome a load without as sistance, and therefore he bad confined his *notion to the point which he had stated. . The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, that without op posing the motion he would, when it was brought forward, deliver his opinions on the whole view of the situation of the country. and the general question in reference to tureign trade. Lord OROSV.NOR was of opinion. that the info nun of tine Noble Mitequis ought to be extended, so sal to embrace the agricultural, es well as the niansfee liering interests. • : Lord LIVERPOOL thought it would be better that the inquiry was not, in the first instance so emend et biotite related not to leant: uctares, Lot to foreigt , `trade, and it was fit that the motion should have von distinct object ; if it ova, made more extensive it would perplex consideration, but while the motion was con fined there was nothing to . pievent a statement of opi nion founded upon a general view. The Marquis of LANWOWNE concurred with the Noble Earl (Liverpool) as to the necessity of the mo tion being a limited and distinct tone. It watald perplex to extend his notice to the art icultural interests. A general inquiry could only lead to end*, inv:ttiga tie; i but by limiting each topic of dbenssion Met Might arrive at a definite result. Lord tiItOSVENOR explained. Lord LAUDERDALE thought, that although tip ;negations contained In the great Lumber of fa.: Wl cultural petitions laid on the whit were worthy of noel tee, yet he deprecated a rowel discussion on the subject ; it amid tend to no alviintage. If such • inquiry wonreatered into, innumerable facts would given in evidence, and a report etade which would aleiir supply material for saw disputes.

Lord MOUNT EDOECUMBE presented sixteen petitions from occupiers of laud of various hundreds in the county of Cornwall ; the prayer of all those pe- titions was the same in sub.tance. and similar to others presented in both Houses, s►Lich we have before no ticed. A petition to the sank, effect, from the occupiers of land in the Isle of Ely, was presented by the Bishop of Ely.—Ordered to lie on the table. NOICIP'ACTURIN• Lord CALTHOHPE, on presenting a petition from the distressed manufacturers of the town of • Birming ham observed, that the language of the petition was such as the urgency of the case made necessary, and although strong, was a fair and respe.:tful representa tion of the deplorable state of a vast portion of the community. 7he subject was one highly becoming the iniestigation of Parliament. It was of g.eat im portance that correct notions should be formed upon l it. He was anziotis, that if even the nook of legisla tire inquiry should bare the effect of putting the re. sources of the country into their former and fall acti , vity, yet it was of moment, when any obstacles inter , cepted the wholesome and salutary application of the national resources, that the cause ut such obstruction should be clearly apprehended. He confessed that he did not think any inquiry could praduce complete re• lief, yet the language of so large a pd-lion of the c nuitunity was entitled to attention, and their *offa -1 logs ought at least to ezzite sympathy and cosinim•- , ration ; no other benefit arise from the inquity, it would be of use that the petitioners shouli feel that their distresses were nut overlooked by Parliament. It I would be in itself consolatory to them to Lnow that th it prayer met with consideration, until by a fair an d fall inviry it could he . atce;tainal whetl.:t I.lr . 4*
