POOR'S SILLS. Mr. WHITBREAD rose to move for leave to bring in 13illa similar to those which he had brought forward last Session, relative to the Education of the Children of the Poor in Parochial Schools, and ameliorating their situations. Wiley that time he had taken the liberty of publishing a pamphlet con certing it ; and he was hopeful that now there would be no Oprition to the measures he was to subrnit to the once. He had formetly found an opposition, coming from a quarter he least of all expected; be was not, however, to be discouraged in the pursuit, as he was more and more convinced of the necessity of his plan being adopted, having had an opportunity of observing the manners and con daft of the different classes of the community during the late election. Where he lived, the elec tion happened to be strongly contested, and from the behaviour of the populace upon that occasion, lie was more convinced than ever, that insulation was the best boon that could be given to the people. as well as the b-st security to the country. As this ail .fid no: differ in any ore particular from the One hrougla .3 during last Parliament, it would be needless to reprint it, as there was a sufficient number of copies. He should take the liberty, therefore, of presenting that Bill on Saturday, move the second reading on Monday, and the committal of it on Monday sennight.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought that the obje& wanted might be as etralti ally accomplished by the Hen. Mcmber confining his motion to a nai rower compass. Mr, MARTIN said, he had no ohpaion to adopt the suggestion of the Right Honourable Gentleman, and to make it commence from the Ist of January, 1802. The motion, as thus amended, was then agreed to. A Petition was presented from Sir Richard Bicker ton. 3art. against the Return for the Burgh of Pool. —To be taken into consideration upon the 24th instant On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, the American Indemnity Bill ,was read a third tirae, and passed.

REPRESSION OF INSURRECTION IN IRELAND. Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY rose to move for leave to bring in a Bill to repress insierredion in Ireland. He believed every gentleman would re cancel the circumstances of the late rebellion in that country, and that those who witnessed it would be of opinion, that some legislative measure was recess 1•, , n order to the continuance of tranqaila lity. The Irish Parliament, in 1796, passed a law, in cyder to remedy the deficiency of the then ex isting laws, an 1 to put a rap to the rebelli en which then rai;•ca. By that law it was pemrided, that per sons shirald be more effeSually prohibited from ad iniu:steTing unlawful oaths, or oaths for rebellious or u. lawful purp3Sei ; And measures were taken to find our those parts of the country whete the pen ple were most disposed to comma •.utrage Persons were required to remain in their houses between sun set and sun-rise, and .he Magistrates, and Lords Lieutenant of the County. were empowered to send persons, who were found nut after that hour, on board the fleet. It also reps red all persons found with arms to surrender thin These, with otoer such regillaeons, unque;rinnahly had a good effea, and rendered the Bill well calculated to meet the insurreSion of that period. 'LIU% had been proved by those persons who were employed to perform the provisions of that Bill, swing, that the insur reSion law was well calculated to produce the pur poses for which it Weli breaded. Although it be, no doubt, necessary to continue it in its original ex tent, he conceived it would be also advantageous to alter and amend it in some particulars, so as more effeelually to guard the counties, and to bring per • sons offending before the Quarter Sessions, attended by a Barrister and K•ng's Counsel. Besides this, he meant to introduce into the Bill some more effec tual means to empower the Magistrates to search for arms. lie had no doubt, but that in the pre sent situation of that country the Bill would he of much service, it being almost entirely the same with that which was intended to have been brought tin ward in the last Parliament, by the former Admini stration. The Right Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving for leave to bring in a Bill to suppress insur reftion, and prevent the distuiba.,ce of the public peace in Ireland. Sir JOHN NE\VPO It I' wished to know whether it was intended to limit the Bill to a certain period or duration ? SO- A. WELI.FSLEY answered, that he had not yet made up his mind upon that part of the sub jeti. Sir JOHN NEWPOR l' thought it ought only to be made annual He oas of opinion also, that too great a responsibility was likely to attach upon the Barrister, should he be a person eonneeded with the comfy. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER seemed inclined to concur with the Right Hon. Ba ronet in his first sugseittiont but wish respea to the other, be thought it would be better to suspend or postpone his judgment upon the clause alluded to, until he had an opportunity ra eestng it in the Bill. as it might therein be rendered seholly unsibjeftiona ble. lie apprehended that the plan of last Session, as to the King's Counsel, was liable to great objections, by exciting a jealousy in the Magistrates nf counties, if another person was set over them, havieg a con trouling authority. Tli.re would surely be great Ms. je.iions to it inthis country ; but, the UM' time that he was ready to enter into these feelings, he was aware that in a lase of this kind there ought to be some sort of check, in or.ler to give security. if pos - Ohle, that local piejudicea should not be carried •ri any improper extent, and to guard Against their opera tion. These, and other such niao..rs, however. might be mere properly discu.sed in tonic future stage of the Bill. Tlte Hou.• seemed to be agreed upon his side as t• the necessity of the general m2a sure. and the only object in altering or amend ing the fnewer Bill was to add greater security to the lenien, • vireise of those powers already af forded by the eassang law. S•r A. WELLESLEY said. that the Right Hon. Strums seemed to have misunderst - ed him. Ur. 0' **7.!.. ssia.he sheuld objea t,, soy Ater. • • ••• . c t. ~.. Mr. DENIS BROWNE [[tree some nbserva tions relative to the Marquis of Sligo, but iu a man ner totally unintelligible to the gallery. An Irish Member, whose name we :fluid not learn, deprecated, with considerable vehemence, the introduction or renewal of this measure, copeck , jog it to be perfedly unnecessary. Considering the present state of society in lielend, he thou ht that this was nothing more than an attempt to produce 3 perpetual exclusion from civil rights, and to de prive the people of all hopes and inceneees to le; - atty. Col. VEREKER said a few words. erpressive cif his surprise to find the gentlemen on the opposite side of the House, composing the late A Ininustra don, °heeding to a measure which they them elves had proposed bringing forward during lest Parli ament. This could tend to no other consequeuce than to excite discontent in Irelaod. Viscount HOWICK expressed astonishment, on the other hand, to hear the Honourable Gentleman charge his (Lord Howickn) side of the House. with enter raining a disposition to excite discontent or dis turbances in Ireland, all their measures in regard to that country having been peculiarly calculated to allay rebellion, and to soothe the people into a quiet repose. This very Bill was, in fad, their own meet sloe, altered, but whether for the better, or the worse, was a matter which would he afterwards dis cussed. He should not take up the time of the House in answering such unfounded charges ; and as to the alterations now proposed, he agreed with the Right Hon. Geatleman opposite, ( .Percevel), in the propriety of deferring the discussion of sheot till the Bill itself was regularly laid before the House. Mr. ()RATTAN said, he was sorry to fled tled a Billiof this kind was still necessary, but he realiy believed it to be so. He begged to observe that the present Bill was neatly the same with the original one, and that which was proposed last Perhanient, all violent measure. certainly, and striking against the principles of the Constitution ; but. • the same time, in a great degree necessary. With this toe einem, he certainly did not mean to vote against them, provided they were limited to a certain re mit. The present Bill ought to be reversionary, or, as it were, to return upon the British Constitu tion, the origin of them being a momentary and imperious necessity. they hoped to cease as soon as the dangers were over. The Hon. Gentleman op posite (Colonel Vereker) was mistaken, it he meant to state that those attached to the late Administra tion are disposed to objets totally to such a Bill, it being so nearly the same as that brought in by them selves. Their great chieft was to reconcile all parties, to unite both English and Irish to oppose the mutual enemy of their country. He hoped that that grand object would yet be effeeled, for he could assure the House, that the wisest way to defend the empire, was to unite the people of this couctry with Pie people of Ireland. sir SHERIt)AN next rose, and stated, that lie thought the Hop. Gentleman opposite (Co!o:iel Ve;eker) had certain!) been premature its saying that there was an opposition to the medure, but he could assure 'elm that he had only anticipated whet he might have been . justified in saying, bad he postponed his observations but a little longer. His Hon. Friend behind him (Mr. Grattan) had stated that nothing but imperious necessity should be the cause of adopting such rigorous measures. He (Mr. S.) wished to see that imperious necessity pointed out. The late Administration brought In this measure, at a time when there was an aditel rebellion in Ireland, for the purpose of prevent. ing improper oaths being administered. What ought to be the preamble of the present Bill ? It ought to be "That whereas there mete rebellion aad insuiredion in Ireland ;" indeed of this, how ever, it begins with stating. "That whetees there is an apprehension of a tendency to insurrection in the sister Kingdom " An apprehension may be said always to exist. There might even he occasion to entertain apprehension of a similar tendency, even in Englind, or in every part of the kingdom ; hut could this be a reason lot proposing such rigorous measures to endure for seven yeah? He, for his part, believed. that Ireland was at present in as calm a state of loyalty, tranquillity, and repose, as ever it was at any former period. At the time the last Hill was proposed to be introduced, there was surely 'considerable apprehension from the Threshers ; and in 1796. when the Irish Ail was passed, it was well known that rebellion existed almost in every part of the Kingdom. This. however, did not exist at the present moment, and therefore the passing of such a Bel was giving a power of controul beyond the Law, and was a violation of the Constitution. Could a preamble, stating apprehension merely, au thorise or justify a Bill for the purpose of taking powew beyond the Law, while the rebellion itself, when it *dually existed, was put down without exercising those powers which were afforded by a Bill. the preamble of which stated insurredien to exist ? It was the most extraordin try conduft he had ever beard of. to come to the House and at tempt to brine: such a Bill, without stating or priwing . that was any, the smallest symp tom of tasurneftion. It was so entraordinary in dea. that it would be very difficult to persuade him not to oppose such a Bill in every stage. Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY observed, that the law expired on the sth of August, so that it bad been equally in forte last year, although it had been found that the ordinary course of procedure only was necessary. so that the provisions of it wet e never carried ihto execution, except in one instelice. Mr. ELLIO I' said a few words, but we could not hear them distinetly. Mr. WHITBREAD said, that no man could re gret, more than he did, the necessity of vesting such power in tee Government of that country. His HI M . Friend near him (Mr. Sheridan), wished for a review of the circumstances attending the preseat state of that country, before he could give his con sent to the bill; but this he ( Mr.W.) thought unne cessary upon this occasion. He ehould, indeed. have looked with considerable suspicion, d the Bat had originated entirely from the other side. The m need Bill 17% had been amended and a!terei,heth 737 and 17ei; and he could net think of oppos ing its further improvement. alteration, and ; because, however melancholy the alterna tive, insubordination was of necessity to be met by a Erring measure; but be hoped the Hon Gentle - other way, than with that lenianey wh'.eh had man e the chattder.of ,tbc late A•isnintstration. Nut hin could have beep produBive• of a better con: sequmee. than the forbearance with which the LW: • of Betifota had condußei himself, ther e . by :hewing that the ordinary law was tient us pat down insurreftion. .1 here were, how. ever, certain points in tt.e 13111, as now ait ,r•:d, which he should 01,jert to, but sv,:ttl.t c:.ouse thcr opportunity for din•.. . 0 . th , discussion en !ed, and Lave was then given to tiring in the nip..
