The Report was aftersiards received, and ordered to be taken Into farther consideration that day three weeks. On the motion of the LORD ADVOCATE, the Scot tish Creditor's Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday nest. ♦eRICULTURAL DISTIMS. Mr. BROUUHAM presented two petitions, one from the occupiers of 13,000 acres of land in Berkshire, the ether from occupiers of land in Cambridgeshire; both complained of aitrieultural distress, and prayed fur a re duction of the Malt Duty, and for an alteration in the laws relating to the retail of beer and ale. By those measures, they hoped far an increase of consumption, and consequently a better price for their barley.—Or dered to be printed. RETAIL OP DEER. Mr. BROUGHAM then rose, in pursuance, he said, of his motion, to glove for leave to bring in a Bill to regu late the retail trade in beer and ale. As the bill which be intended to submit to the . boute was the same exact ', ly as that which lie brought in.last Session, he did not think it necetaary, then, to detail its object. In conse quence of the opposition of some of his hon. friends to that measure, and on account of the lateness of the Ses sion, lie consented to withdraw it for that time, resolv ing to bring it forward again as soon as he bad (hy leave ot the house, he hoped) brought in the bill, hisinten tion was to postpone the farther progress of it till after the Easter recess. He was happy -that the Right Hon. tientlemak(the Lhancel!or of the Exchequer) had it in conteppplation to introduce • bill of somlwliat similar havoc); Nothing could afford greater relief to the cul -1 tivators of land than to have the whole duty on beer re duced, because the consuusptieu would be consequently increased. Other results would follow from this Bill, which, instead of diminishing, would produce an increase in the revenue, and would be a great safeguard to the morals of the people, by en ibling them to take a whole some beverage at their own houses instead of tippling at the gin shops. He hoped the Chancellor of the Exchequer would consent to a modification of the duty on malt. As the laws at present stood the poar man had to pay for his pot of beer double what it cost the rich man who bresse.l his own ale. That WAS the reverse of what the thing should be. It was of greet consequence that the lower order should feel that the higher classes stood forward as their protectors, parti cularly at a time when it was not improbable they would be called on to make sacrifices for the honour and the independence of the co tntty—(Hear ) The Hon. and Learned Gentleman concluded by movaig for leave to bring in the Bill. ' Sir T. LETHBRIDGE supported the motion, and ex pressed a hope that s tile Chancellor of the Exchequer would consent to a farther rednetios of the malt daty. Nothing could be more advantagtous, as it would enable the lower classes to have a whol. saute beverage at a lllJ derate expeuse, and it would increase the consumption of barley. Mr. Alderman WOOD said, that of ten millions of taxes paid in different ways by tho.e who were concerned io agriculture, about five intilions tell on we lower classes. He was of opinion tha: the Malt Tax ought to b e r e duced. • With respect to the allega ion is the pe tition from Cambridge, &c., that there was no p: ice for barley, be bad been informed that not a quarter of bar ley was sold in that county under 411. if the people paid a high price for their beer, it wason account of the high rats of defy on malt. The brewer got no more, than a pot for his boor, and oat of that he was )4..,+- SPEECH OE TII6 TRENCH MINISTER. Mr. BROUGHAM rose for the pram of asking an explanation from the Right lion. Secretary (Mr. l'al ning) opposite. The necessity of his question erase from the report •of the •speech which was said to be made in the French Chamber by a man well known to the wer!i, se the author of various literary a orks, sad homely ea ' • • a Prime Minister ; a person who once wrote in favour Christianity, and then almost defied the Bearbone; int who, as another time, compared the son of Bon +patient, our Savioun—(hear)—a person from whose eloquent. or sophistry the cause of fteedom throughout the world' or the immediate liberties of Spain had little to sprit bend—(hear, hear.)--In that speech, he is reported %p have said, that from a communication made at Vanes, by an English Noble Duke (Weilington)•—at statement of that speech, he is described as Raying that the British Minister bad given an approval of the aggret sion of France ; and in another statement, that in an • official note from the Noble Duke, that it was the opt. Dion of this Uovernmeot that France was entitlialto tots woe of precaution wiengi. tbtt SIP• 41 010 fritgqihr _in against disease as•well as *Oak liberty. it was necessary to admit that the precaution against the • • plague was mentioned. The latter statement so a @Hillis extent, was innotious—(hear); but the former, if true, • was so different from the declaration of the British Mi . misters from the Speech made from the Titrone-4rom , the professions and avowed sentimentsof Government, that an explanation was requisite—(hear, hear.) It was ne cessary farther to-inquire if this statement contained the whole truth, or if it was a statement picked out of a palits.r without the remainder of the explanatory observations (hear. hear.) —(During this short address, Mr. Betaaghain spoke in so very low a tone, that we caught It!s sea::- meats with great difficulty.) Mr CANNING professed every readiness to give the explanation required, as far as he could do it, satisfacto rilv,—(hear.) The account of the speech given in " the Mineiteur" was the most official, and to that he would therefore allude. Of the passage quoted in the Chamber, the text was correct ; it certainly existed, bet it was torn from a long series of papers, the remainder of which greatly qualified its meaning. The sense of it was, that such hut •intsah•peetautions taken abstractedly might he right; but it did not -by any means bear out the wbo'e in ference taken. The text, was certainly correct, but it nag a part of a long argument in which an admiasion was made, for the sake of giving a contra liction.—(Clieete.) A message from the 'ANS was announced. Mr. CANNING interrupted its progreis; by • raying that the sense in which he used the word "contradia lion," was an admission for the sake of contrast—am id • mission in one part for the purpose of contrasting and contradicting it in another.—(Hear.)- Mr. BROUGHAM—Nothing could be more satisfac tory than the explanation.—(Hear.) The- note alluded to coal& only he considered as a document which authen ticated the 'fact, and contradicted the inference.—(Heir, hear.) He would wish further to ask from the Right Hon. tientl.matt, in the shine spirit of confidence whist be entertained since the moment of that Hon.Gentlernaa's introltiction to his present situation, whether now that the French Government had chosen to give. a garbled document to the-world, there would be any objection to lay the papers themselves upon the table, to allow the fair explanation of their meaning to appear.. Mr. CANNING again arose. His hopes were ctrtaim lv diminished, but not destroyed —(llear), and white any hope of conciliation remained it would be, he felt, inex pedient to co imply with the wishes of the Hon. Gentle man, or to raise any discussion upon the point.—(flear But when the. time for discussion emu-, he (Mr. 42.) would not be unwilling to produce every docament and give the tallest explanation. Mr. ILKOUtiILAM was perfatly satisfied, anti would for one, front thenceforth feel his discretion entirely botind eil by the dictation of the Right Hon. Gentleinan. (Hear.) ORANGE SOCIETIES. Col. FRENCH said that an lion. Friend of hist (Mr. Brownlo I) had given notice of a motion relative to the late exnafficio prosecutions in Rotund, arid fixed it for the " i'thi of April, on the ground that a number of gen-11.- race coon. cted with that country coal I not attend on an earlier day. Many of these tlefill•uten left town on the same day that notice was given. Ile obs , Fred, ho sever, that a motion on a subject which was involved in the other, was to he broaa lit before the house on the follows ing Tuesday by au lion. gent. (tlr. Ahercromliy.) It was necessary Haw. the rOilrilry gentlemen of Ireland alistold lea pr,?s..ut at a debate, which, he hoped, would have- the effect of allaying the tenth nt in that country.
