BURDETT brought op a Petition rem Henry If net, 711 sq, of Hook ham-hall, Susses, Candidate fur Bristol, complain ing of Hart Davis, Esq. the other Candidate, at the late Election f o r Bristol. It stated, that tt great number of °oasis and fe loaf had been employed by him, under the name of bludgeon men, or constables; that large sums of money were given to those mamas, to induce them to heat and Intimidate the frieods.of the Petitioner; that various assault., and murder, had hien, coin mitted by these persons; that great part of the Guildhall, at Bristol, was blockaded, and free ingress and egress allowed to the friends,of Ilan Davis, Esq. while the friends°, the Petitioner had to run the ganutlet through these ruffians, and were frequent ly knocked down by them ; that the Petitioner daily protested jo the Sheri f f against these proceedings; that these rolhans 'threatened to set fire to a pawner:nag:tame near the town, which threat was made use of as a pretext for calling in the military, contrary to law ; that the mo bs were Illegally administered to the electors, and various arts of bribery were committed hy /tart Davis, Esq. and his fri‘mtli; nod that the Poll was elowd a day before the proper time. The Petition prayed that these matters be taken into consideration. The SPEAKER desired Sir Francis Burdett to fiv a day no minally, which would enable him to renew the mutioa neat Sexism. Sir F. BURDETT named (his day three weeks. Sir F. BURDETT presented also a Petition from Thomas Daley and William Longwell, freeholders°, Bristol, to the same effect as the Petition of Mr. Hunt.—Referred to the sum day as the other. Sir F. BE if Durr moved for a Copy of a written Statement Made by James Panic. Esq. Deputy Inspector of the Foreign Corps, to the late Right Hon. Spencer Perceval, and by him re ferred to the Bight lion. W. Elliott. The CH AN CEL 101: of tit.- EXCHEQUER asked the Hon. Banwet to defer his motion till to-morrow, as he knew pot at present any thing of the paper. Str F. MIRDErr agreed. STATE. OF THE NATION. Sir F. BURDE TT, in consequence of his notice upon this subject rose, and observed, that since pub lic grievances required public remedies, and since those grievances noser prevailed to a greater extent than at the present moment, lie felt it his duty, even at this late period of the Sess' ,to state his opinion, and to endeavour to persuade the Prince Regent to apply the only remedy that could afford permament and effectual relief. Although the probability of suceess in the conflict on the Peninsula might be greater than in the commencement of the campaign, be could not help thinkiug that the country was sue. rounded by more imminent dangers, foreign and do. anestic, than had threatened it at any former period. It would be utterly impossible for him to do more than to give a slight and imperfect sketch of the actual state of our affairs, which menaced extensive disaffection and the most aggravated calamities by which a nation could be afflicted. The dangers mere of various kinds; but among the moot alarming were the in roads that had of late years been made upon the Constitution, and which had actually's° incorporated themselves with it, that to a superficial observer the one appeared even to form a part of the other. The Invasions of the Common Law had been frequent, and the most dangerous symptom was the hostile manner iii which the Judges construed that law to the detriment of the subject. The danger was pecu liarly great where the Liberty of the Press was con cerned ; and it was increased by that usurpation of power by the Attorney-General, by Ex.oj/icio In formations, whereby an innocent man was placed in a situation of peril, unauthorized by the Constitution. In waiters of lesser importance, this assumption had been tolerated on the 'maxim De minimis nen carat kr ; hut it had been raised to a height even in the time of Sirll'. Mackstone, which alarmed that Learned Judge, who maintained that Er-oificio Informations wese not legal, excepting in cases where immediate Interposition was necessary, to prevent turtling' dafiger by delay. It had now been carried to an extent which disgusted every man of common understand lag. Not contented with the authority already cot:- ferret), the LCgislature had recet:tly passed an Act, alloaing the Attorney-General the additions; power , of lioluing*to bail. In prosecutions by the Crown it now appeared that the Attorney-General was en tirely master of the Court, and for the first time is. any pi oceeding for au offence lesi than high treason, in the case of the unfortunate Bellingham, the Crown i bad challenged. no Isis than eight out of twelve jorors I by law the sight of the prisoner to challenge was re.; etricted, but the right of the Attorney-General was! unlimited; this abuse was the corruption of. justice ; at its very source, and, if not restraitud, would in time destroy what had h:•en of late years rawly called thepulladion. of British liberty.. The intervention of the Master of the Crown Odiee farther aggravated the esil. The House and the country had be e n lately threatened with some violent exertiett to support the labouriug finances. Such a measure was, after the experience of firmer extortions and exactions, indeed formidable. The 'loll. Baronet would recommend, that the exertions made should not be to raise but to save money ; exertions of economy, and not of taxa tion. lie recollected three former great exertions of a similar kind to tkat lately alluded to: the first was the 119POkaaos of dm 41‘0411 Taxi the Woad QM Warm* -JUNG— ..... . .1...... - .. 4....nimm.... ~.,r,r.or ' i' .• • • t ... t ; , I -- ... , IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

The Report alluded to likewise disclosed many other important partica 'lan. Under the meat comprehensive title of " Corn pensation for lose of office, on account of the Union, or any other causes before or since that event," was embraced, no lest a sam than 100,0831. including a charge that seemed' most curiously forced in, of 20001. to the Prince of Mecklinburg Stvelits. In England. the charges for sinecures on the Post-office, Excise, Consolidated Fend, &c. were no lest than 459,5101. and all the salariee paid for the charge of ne duties, ascended to theenormous sum of 952,6841. The pensions given to the American, Dutch, and French Loyalists, to the Prince Regent of Portugal, to the Prinee of Orange, to the Emperor of Austria (the ally of one deadly enemy), and to other foreign ers, exclusive of their great military emoluments, formed a charge of 2,143,5901. not including the sum improperly granted to the Duke of York in 1801, none of which had been retained, and for which - no interest was paid. The expense of foreign corps was 962,0001. and the loans to For toga!, and to the East India Company were . four millions. If the desirable object of an exchange of pri soners were effected, another million might be erred. I The sum of 176,0001. annually granted for secret Cervices, was to be watched with peculiar jealousy; how it was applied, none but Ministers* knew ; per. baps to reward such agents as Captain Henry, or to ,pay informers to intrap men into offences. No lest than 100,0001. was annually allowed' for the poet I Clergy elf the Church of England : why could not the poor be supported by, the rich Clergy ? la ' the' Honourable Baronet's opinion, the . starving Manu facturers were much more deserving objects of rity. Besides these various charges, large salaries were paid to the Commissioners of Public Accounts ; who had not saved the public as much money as' would pay their expences for a single twelvemonths. The next head included sums which might be much more fitly included under the title of jobs ; among these were 80,0001. to the Board of Agriculture, 65,0001. for bridges and roads in Scotland (exceeding the entire amount of the land-tax of that country)ll besides other large charges for improvements near! Palace-yard, that ought to have been borne by the Dean and Chapter of Westminster, and for the erection of a new Mint', 'At a time when . eoin was out of circulation. The erection of barracks, which would hate cost 500,0001. had been prudently re. signed. The whole of these expences rose to the ex travagant sum of nine millions, all, or the greater part of which, might, with due management, be I saved to the nation, already sinking ender burdens, which, by new exactions, were to be augmented.— With respect to the million of money paid for the ' Civil List, the Hon. Baronet thought that the Crown had made an improvident bargain, and as the lands belonging to the Sovereign would let for mneh more,, although only 50 or 60,0001. was produced from dim, if the contract were abrogated, another million sight be saved, and the King'benefited. The greatest grievance of which the country had to complain was, the assumption by the House of Common's of the 1 , whole the powers of the State, by which the Crown, hotrod of being supported was overawed by the peo ple. He (Sir F. Burdett) had been constantly held , up as the enemy to the constituted authorities— to the authorities legally constituted he was a sincere friend, and he would at all' times support the just ' power and dignity of the Throne. There was in that House a boroughmonger faction, that erected it self into an odious oligarchy, and usurped all the powers of the three branches of the Constitution. In this cause most of our evils originated. The an coal sum of nearly 23 millions was paid as the Army I Expenditure, but on calculating the pay of the whole military force at the highest rate, it did not exceed six millions. To what purpose then was the remainder applied ? It was divided among the Officers, and was swallowed by jobs in the Barrack and other Depart ments.' The same remarks applied to the Navy, and Lord St. Vincent (no light authority on this subject) had declared, that the marine affairs of the nation might be conducted at one-third of their present i expence. What then, it would bo enquired, was the remedy? but he was lure that those who put the question . , could themselves answer it with-1 out prompting—Parliamentary Reform. On the many occasions when this question had been dis-1 cussed, some gentlemen had professed themselves friendly to Reform, but they •did not see the be-1 nefits that would result from it. If, as it could be . proved, the present corrupt state of the representite Lion was the rent raumeaf. all the etorroptioteht the various branches of Government, the benefit Veit would result from Reform, must be obvious to all.-ee The -Ministers themselves, although, in the present state of things, they were supported by corruption,l were compelled to be responsible for many acts which originated in the defects of the House of Commons. i Whether war or peace would be the issue of our dif ferences with America was a question, compared. with Parliamentary Reform, of little conliequence; and without .it, the Regent might, with any MI: I nisters, its vain attempt to satisfy his subjects.eral The Honourable Baronet wished to state hit opinion with respect to the , late overtures by Ftance for pence, because, on a former night, had failed in catching the eye of the Speaker. The ' refusal was made by Vas Government on the-ground of a subsisting Treaty between George the Third and Ferdinand the Seventh. It was an abiurdflY to imagine that such a contract could, under the present circumstances, exist. Ferdinand was not in a situation to make or execute it ; he was not King of Spaio, In the usual acceptation of the words and had realigned hi . . - - The Sleds. If, however, situated as this nation was previotm to the breaking out of the new war, which Russia had Veen rash enough to commence, the offer made by France had been repeated to any impartial wan, the Hon. Baronet was convinced that he would have thought we could not have done better thpn close with the proposal, as it would be 'a fortunate opportunity of getting out of our difficulties and em barrassments. The truth was, not that we were fight ing in the Peninsula for Ferdinand, bat for our selves, and the question was, whether we were to lay claim to the Crown of Spain? The most sanguine hopes were indulged as to the issue of the war just commenced in the North. For his own part, the Hon. Baronet could not concur in the belief held out in newspapers, that Bonaparte, from a want of provisions, would be compelled to withdraw. Know. ing himself nothing of military tactics, the Hon. Ba ronet could not help believing that the Emperor of the French, after all his experience, would be as well aware of the dangers he was exposed to as the wri ters of Newspapers, or even as his Majesty's Minis ters. Seeing who was at the head of Foreign Affairs, and that the two Noble Lords opposite (Castlereagh and Palmerston) were to have the planning of our expeditions, be entertained as little hope of their success spinet Bonaparte as he should of the success of a child engaged at chess with the celebrated Phil lidore. It was with the hope, continued tho Ho. 'towable Baronet, of at Least awakening in the mind of his Royal Highness the Prince Regent a sense of the necessity of something being substantially done; something that might snit* the minds and hearts of the people, and that might obtain the redress of grievances which nowhere them to the earth, that be hid ventured to trouble the House with his senti. meets. Measures of economy ought to be adopted. The nation. mould bear the taxes, If necessary, without repining, when they saw that they were as prudently applied to their leeitisoate purposes, as they were lavishly granted by that - Hesse. He' elluld not expect that his sentiments would meet 1 with the concurrence of many who heard him.— tile knew he was represented as one who was ' disaffected to the constituted Authorities, as they were called : he denied that he was so, how. ever—he was ready to support the Crown in all its constitutional powera—but he owned he wax disaffected to the vile -Oligarchy that now governed both the Crown and the Country. To them he owed no allegiance—but, en the contrary, would -rather swear eternal enmity to them on the altar of his country. lie had been accused, also, of being the protector of those who were the distubers of the peace. He was no such person—and neither was he the protector of those who violated the Constitution by calling in the military to kill and destroy the peo ple. Ile would contend there was no necessity for such proceedings. The Constitution, if duly admi nistered, was rot so feeble as to require them; it had no such inherent debility; it was ascot suc a gaudy, unsubstantial thing as that, to be hung up merely on a fine day, as it were, to be gazed upon with curiosity, but not to be touched. It had vigour enough in itself, if that vigour was properly employ ed ; and his disaffection was to the men who did not properly employ it. While such measures were pur. sued, he eared not wbo were Ministers; he cared not what Oligarchs were in, or what Oligarchs were out, the country was equally a low. There was another subject to which he wished to call the attention of the House, and which had been alreedy, touched upon by the Member from Bedford on a. former evening. It had pleased Providence withle the last few years to permit events which had, in effect, suspended the Constitution; and that House bad most unconstitutionally taken upon itself pow. ers to which it was not competent. As, however, he did not wish to see similiar proceedings; and as' it was possible, every one would allow, that the Prince Regent might be taken from us while his' father was yet living, he could wish•that some leg's. lative measure should be adopted in anticipation or such a possibility, to prevent the recurrence of the same exercise of unconstitutional power by that House, as had already taken place. 'l'ne question was pregnant with great difficulties, and difficulties which that House ought to provide against. When, in the earls , part of the present reign, his Majesty was af flicted with that malady which they all now bad to deplore, an Act of Regency was passed, securing, in the person of the Prince of Wales, the xercise of the Royal Functions, and he could see no feason why a similar precaution should not now be taken, espe cially when it was considered that the Princess Char• lotte of Wales had now arrived at those years when a Regency might be formed in her person, and ought to be so formed. It was a matter of wonder anti surprise to him, and he could not account for it, but , nem to form a new Ministiy, that saute House of C sal oat who bad, by one vote, declared the Miuistent to I e in .rim =lnd by another vote the competence of these .:1111. , leaving scarcely a possiMe doubt as to the in • • which the conversion had been erected.

We beg leave, therefore, humbly to represent to your Highness our firm conviction, that it is only by promos • Mg a Constitutional Reform, in the Commons House of Pad a. 4seist, and thereby obtaining the cordial support of the Natio, against those who are now usurping the Premgatives of tee -Crowe, by means of the power which they have purloined frost the People, that your Royal Highness will be able to form; strong and efficient Government, equal to the perilous state of stairs ; or to adopt and put in force such measures tee Cal) des tually secure internal tranquillity, National Independence, and dually obasin a safe and permanent peaeu.

Mr. BARING rose to move for' certain Papers relating to the Redemption of the lAnd-Taz, with a view to ground a motion upon it early in the ensuing Session, should no measures he. adopted by Minis ters, during the Recess, to render such a motion unnecessary. He stated, in a few words, that by a proper management in the Redemption of the Land-Tax, a very great increase of Revenue might be obtained. The Motion was then put, for an Ac count of the Amount of Land Tax redeemed ; the Amount of Stock transferred to the Commissioners of the Sinking Feud, for such Redemption ; and the Annual Amount of the Laud-Tax unredeemed, up to the latest period that the accounts bad been made up.
