I.IIP.ERIIL 4ARLLIMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS. movoAt mkv •;. The Lord Advocate of Scotland was heard in part, on behalf of the Appellant. In the Appeal Colonel Allan Macpherson v. Ramsay Hannah ; after which the further hearing was put off till to morrow. Lord KING rose, and swel his reasons for wish ing to a.ijourn the coniidely.tila of his motion rela tive to the Public Account,, but his Lordship's de livery was so rapid, and given in so low a tone, that it was impossible to follow his Lordship. IRISH HANK RESTRICTI.)N DILL. Lord AUCKLAND rose to hope that there would be no objeetion to deferring the second read ing of the Irish Bank Restridion Bill, only for the short space of a single day, al he wished to have an opportunity to move for an account that would throw the most important elucidation on the state of the finances, and was extremely short, so that it might be laid on the Table that day. If he should have the good fortune not to hear any Noble Lord from Ireland objed to such a trilling delay, he would move that the Order of the Day be discharged, and that the Bill be read a second time to-morrow. The Earl of LIMERICK said, he was in hopes that after so many postponements the Bill would no longer have hen deferred, but after what the Noble Lord had said, he could not object to the Noble Lord's intended motion. Lord AUCKLAND moved accordingly, and thL Order was discharged, and a new Order made for to-morrow. PUBLIC REVENUE. Lord AUCKLAND then moved that an account of the net produce of the duties on Malt, of the Pub lic Taxes, and other Rev"nue, from the sth of Ja nuary, 1602, to the sth of April, 1802, and so on from quarter to quarter, t;11 the sth of April, 1803, &c. &c. be laid on the Table. His Lordship said, this account would prove beyond all question, thpt the net amount of the whole Revenue was thirty-four millions, and the expence upon that was only se venteen millions five hundred thousand pounds, so that there would remain a surplus of better than sixteen millions applicable to the public service, for the support of the Royal Family, and for defraying other necessary charges. The account. was ordered, and was soon after presented at the Table. state of the public mind, at to the situation in which the country had stood, ever since, the delivery of his Majesty's most gracious Message calling for mi-- litary preparation. Th e publi c bed, it must be confessed, Ivlncerthe most extrsordinary patience, and had given his Majesty's Ministers credit for ties ' sincerity of their declarations, that they would at an early period come forward with sotto communi cation as to the real posture of affairs Between this country and France. He did not mean at that the-' ment to go into a detail, but he must declare that he believed the patience of the public;, hi general, was nearly exhausted a sure he was that his own mind was filled with anxious wishes for some explanation on the subjed, and should think it his duty, if no other Noble Lord of greater weight and ability would undertake it, to endeavour to put an end to the pre sent extraordinary , and unpleasant feelings of the whole country upon the suhjet, by endeavouring to obtain, from his Majesty's Ministers, some capla nation ; and, therefore, he rave notice, that he . would, on Friday next, bring forward some motion for the parpose. Ile knew not what that motion would be, and therefore he could not, at that mo ment state it to the House. he Earl of SUFFOLK reminded the Noble Earl that a communication was to be made in the other House, which probably would supersede the necessity for the motion the Noble Lord had given notice of; he submitted it therefore to him, whether he ought to give his notice before it was known what the nature of that communication might be. Lord CLIFTON (Earl Darnley) said, he meant only to be understood as having an intention to • make a motion of the nature lie had stated, in case nn communication was in the interim made by his Majesty's Ministers. Lord HOBART said, it was altogether so irre , pular to alliide to any thing that passed in another place, that he really scarcely knew what to say. He was not aware that any communication was to be made to the other House, that day, but he was conscious that his Majesty's Ministers were as anxi ous as any Noble Lord could be upon the subjetl, and he was persuaded they would not lose a mo ment in giving every possible information as to the situation of atrairs between this country and France as soon as they were enabled to commanicate it. • The Earl of ROMNEY rose, and said, it was well known that an Hon. Gentleman in the other House had given notice of a motion which he in tended to bring fbrward on Tuesday last, respecting the state of the nation; and that he had been pre vailed on by the Minister to postpone it, in order to give the promised communication precedency. His Noble Friend (Lord Clifton), he was persuaded, did not desire to force Ministers to a premature and im proper communication ; but considering how long men's minds had been kept in a state of suspense on a matter of great importance and magnitude, it was not to be wondered at if his Noble Friend, on behalf of himself and that House,asked for some explanation, if it was yet proper to he given. With regard to what had been reported of a communication - having, been made to the other House by the Minister, it ought to be remembered that some of his Majesty's Minis ters sat in that House, and surely that House ought to be treated with the same resped as was shewn to the other House ; he hoped, therefore, that when a communication was made to the other House, a communication of the same import would be made ' to their Lordships. Lord PELHAM and Lord HOBART rose at the same mament, but the latter gave way. Lord Pelham said, that he knew of no communication either, having been made that day to the other House, or having been promised to be made ; but as to what the \ohle Earl had said, in regard to the same resped being due to both Houses equally, he entirely concurred with him, and he could assure him, that his Majesty's Ministers were fully sensible that it was their duty to treat both Houses with the utmost resped and deference, and never meant to be deficient in resped to either. As to the motion of which the Noble Lord, who began the conversation, had given notice, he thanked him for his candour. It was at once fair and manly to announce what his intentions were, but he could assure the Noble Lord, that his Majesty's Servants felt as much anxiety, with resped to the relative situations of this country and France, as the rest of the public ; nay, if matters came to an unwelcome issue, they must necessarily feel still greater anxiety than any other persons in the country. They had taken such measures as they considered to he the most proper to accelerate the matters in dispute, wad bring it to a crisis ; and as the negotiation, however, was very near coming to a point, he should hope, that the Noble Lord's anxiety was not so imperious as to render it important to hint, whetherahe made his motion on Friday, or waited till the Monday next. Lord CLIFTON (Earl Darnley) said, he was gratified in having heard that the Noble Secretary of State considered the notice he had given as fair and candid, but he wished to bed:A-1y understood ; he had not the smallest wish to make the motian, which he had said he would undertake to bring ward, in case no miter Noble Lord of greater au thority would do it ; unless from the louger conti nuation of profound silence in his Majesty's Minis ters, it should become necessary. It they made no communication to put the public out of their anxi ety and suspense, he should think it his duty to make it; but a low days made no differenctoin his mind, and therefore he begged that his notice might stand for Monday next ; and he moved that the Lords be summoned. Ordered that the Lords be summoned far Mon-. day next.—Adjourned. HOUSE Ur COMMONS. MONDAY, stkv• 2. Mr. LEF. brought up the Rely,rt of the Irish Court; of Law Bill, which was a:rret-d to, and ordered to be read a third tire , ..• on IV.::lnesday next. Mr. CA T.C.R AFr precented a petition from .Tohn Simpson, Mayor of (Ana Grimiby, vthich.being. read, stated, :ha: Le was a. poor tuan, reatira tv.4 [PRICE SIXPENCE. small farms, the cue 30!. the ether 121. a year;' that he had a wife and cli:ldreit ; that he did not know how to read or wriie ; that he was semi) .! now of Ilia improper conduct, and was sorry for 'l, but that he had not acted from corrupt motives. Ett prayed for the mercy id the House, and threw h'ro self upon their clemency. He thin gave notice, tit on Thursday rest he should move. that Jahn Simp son be c.illed ta the Bar of the House, reprimanded, and discharged on payment of his fees. On the motion of the SECRETARY at WA R, the Report of the Militia Family Bill was also de ferred to Wednesday next. The Report of the County Bridges Bill was defer red to the same day. STATP: OF TI IF. NATION The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the Order of the Day for the further con Jeration of so much of-his Majesty's Message of the 23d of November as related to accommodation to merchant; (which being read pro forma) he ad dressed himself to the fallowing erfeft : " The object I rise for is, that this order he postponed. I tirades-- stand from some of the persons concerned jn this subject, that it is their wish, p.:rticularly those peen liarly interested in the Tonnage Duty, that the con sideration of this business should not come forward. in the present uncertain state of the country. In case the existing dissentions should terminate in hos tility, they are willing to forego any opposition ; and in the event of their being amicably adjusted, they mean respectfully to submit their objections to the House. I have therefore to propose that this order he postponed, as the same uncertainty still continues to prevail, till Monday next, previously to which I am in the confident expectation of being enabled to make a communication to the House on a subject so interesting to the feelings of the public, and, with respect to which, it grieves me that they have been so long held in susperce." Mr. SHAW LEFEVRE said he wished to know whether, after this declaration, the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Patten) meant to bring on the motion of which lie gave notice for to-morrow ? Mr. FATTEN replied, that the declaration came upon him unexpenedly. Ile wished that before this he had an opportunity of some private communica tion with the Right Hon. Gentleman, and he was at present undecjled how he ought to a;r.t upon so important a subject, and wished to be direeted by the opinion of persons of more weight and authority than himself. Mr. FOX said that some reasons might be given why the .question should not be delayed, but after what had been just stated, and as so much time had already elap..ed . since the public had a right to expeft some communication; he thought it would be most expedient to defer the motion until after Monday ne:a. fqr. RYDER was of opinion that what now came from the Minister might have beep easily antici pated, and that the question which the mot ion tended to, could not be fairly met so soon as to-mor row. He hoped that no specific day would be fixed for the Hon. Gentleman's motion, as possibly, on Monday neat, the House may be in the same state of uncertainty that it was at present. Mr. CANNING observed, that on a former day his Hon. Friend (Mr. Patten) gave notice of a day when he would make his motion, unless there was some previous communication ; and in the present anxious disposition of the country, he hoped nothing would be done with any degree of,imprudence. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that theformer conversation referred merely to the fixing a day, anti the conditions upon which the motion was meant to come forward. He should wish at present to know the Hon. Gentleman's de. termination. Mr. CANNIMG reminded the House that the condition was to bring the motion on, if the same state of uncertainty continued, but he recommended that it should now stand over till the most conve nient day after the communication which the Hot se was given to understand would be made before Mon day next. Mr. PAT TEN then gave notice that he should defer his motion till the first convenient day after the communication, without specifying any day in particular. In doing this he was happy that he was acting with defere-ibe to the opinions of so many re spedable Members. The conversation ended here, and the motion (re speaing which expeaation was so high) stands over sine die. Mr. 11. DUNDAS moved the Order of the Day Li. the third readin ,, of the Edinburgh Road Bill. Sir ROBERT WILLIAMS moved as an amend ment in' the former motion, that the Bill be read a third time this day six months. The House was proceeding to divide, and stran gers ordered sto withdraw, dining whose exclushva the debate continued for about an hour, when the numbers on the division.were— ' .* For the third reading It 9 Against it 106 Majority - A conversation then occurred on the question for the passing of the Bill, which was at length *reed to without another division. Sir W. ELFORD moved, that there should be laid before the I-louse an account cf the further proceedings of the Board of Atltnirtity, relative to nutters stated in the Report of the Committee of Finance on Naval Affairs, in addition. to the ac counts already presented in . o.iober 1799, in F. htuary 1800, and in January 1301.--Ordered ac cordingly. Mr. TIERNEY gave notice, that he shoal& - make a motion on Monday next, relative to the' 'Treating Bill. coßostßs• Mr. DICKINS moved the Order of the Day on the further consideration of the Coroners' Bill be' now read. He then moved.th tr the consideration said R, port be postponed WI to-morrow. Sir R. BUX lON saw no. r.ne'ont;)r pOstprming • the consideration of the Report ; it was a subject whials had occugied the atteit . .ion.... , t: the licuse. for - , _Ao CLERGY. The Earl of SUFFOLK sad, that there was a measure of great importance relative to the Clergy, now pending in the other House of Parliament, and it woul,l, is all probability come before their Lord ships. Previous to its coming there, he thought some information was necessary to prove, whether the fita that had been stated by a high authority (Lord Grenville) last Session, that there were be tween nih, and ten thousand livings, the incum bents of the on.: half of which had not greater in comes from their livings than sixty or seventy pounds a year, was well founded, and therefore he should move, that " a return be made by the pro per Officer of all such livings, and the amount of the income of the respenive incumbents." Lord AUCKLAND said, such a return as the Noble Earl had moved for could not possibly be made ; that to ascertain the name and situation of the livings, would take up at least a twelvemonth, before they could with any sort of correaness be rna,:e out; and that to discover what the amount of the 'income Of each living ae"tually was, was utterly impos sible. _Of whom were the enquiries to be made, and by what means mill it be judged whether the result was a true amount ? The Earl of SUFFOLK said, the LEI appeared to him to be of considerable importance, and he felt an anxiety to have the assertion of the Noble Lord, to whom he had referred in his former spe.xh, ex plained and ascertained, before the Bill now in the Commons, should come before their Lordships. The LORD CHANCELLOR advised the Noble Earl to postpone his motion for a few days, in order to put it into a proper shape. Indeed, it was impos sible to put it as it was now , worded, fur who was the proper Officer to make the returns in ques tion ? _._._ . The Earl of SUFFOLK acceded to the Lord Chancellor's proposition. MARKHAM'S DIVORCE BILL Lord AUCKLAND moved that the Order of the Day for going into a Committee on Dr. Mark ham's Divorce Bill be discharged, and a new Order made for Wednesday.—Ordered. • A private Bill was read a third time, and the usual Message sent to the Commons. A Naturalization Bill was read a second time, and the other business on the Table gone through. STATE OF TILE NATION. Lord CLII.TON (Earl of Darnley) rose. and said lie could not let the House separate without saying a few words upon the alarming and ausiuus 4 • 1 4 Y. 401 11: I
