Mr. Hobhouse, and a depntation from the Com mons, brought up the Mid ilesex l'olice Bill, the East India Bonds' Bill, Coffee Warehousing Bill, tie Woollen Manufacturers' Su.pension Rill, and the British Fitheries' Bill, which were severally read first time, and ordered to he printed.

IRISH INSURRECTION BILL. Upon the order of the day fur the third teading of the Irish Insurrellion Lord 1101.1.NND. Earl FITZWILLIAM, and the Duke of BEIM/ tD, proposed a variety of amendments. They went principally to iuliet penalties upon the Magistracy for any improper vitiation of the law, and commanding them to snake returns of the persons, committed under the authority of that AB, as straage:s who could not give a proper account of thernse.ves, to the Lind lieutenant, within a limited time after their cum siittral to prison. r.sx Duke of BEDFORD proposed an amend. are it, with respedt to the powers vested in Assistant tuiti:ters at the Courts of Special Session; he wished he have the appointment Of a Serjeint of Law, de isted by the Lord Lieutenant, with a power of cc• rreising a negative over the Magistracy in case of putt, but not of acquittal. To these amendments. Lords Hawkesbui y, Redesdale, Mulgrave, West- . , mnreland, and the Lord Chancellor, severally ex pressed their opposition. It was argued by them, that to make such a law answer its purpose, was to make it as extensive i 3 its provisions as possible, and of course effesflual in its operation. The amendments were severally rejefbeii. Lord HOLLAND next adverted to a clause, which appeared to him, at least•in his interpretatioa ni it, worthy of very grave consideration. It was, that by a clause in the present Bill, it struck him that an Irish milieB might be twine tried for the same offence. Lard ELDON explained the clause, seemingly HOUSE OF COMMONS. The Dublin Paving B:11, the B Fishery 8.11. the Woollen NlAnutaeturers' &11, and th- !Coronae ReKulation Bil, were severally read a iburd time and p used. Toe Foteign Goods Bill. and the German I. 4 ;nens 11.11, were s fly real/ a second time, and ordered t.t he repotted to-morrow. The t'u Accountants' Bslance Bill, and the West 1144 Produce illiet-on Du y Esemp inn Bill, were severally reported, and orderal to be read A third time to-morrow. _ . . ..... _ The Bill for repealing certain dut'es noon Irish Silk, and substituting others. the Swedish liming Import Bill, and tne Irish Spirit ITt ttehack Rill, were s irerally prod s /fit up, read a 6. it, and ordered to be real a second time to-inorrnw. A Nlestage from the lairds announced their lanriiships' assent to the Amsterdam Free Port B 11, !fish Fi.hery Continuation Rill, the Military Ciin rnissioners' Continuation Bill. and several Private Bills. Mr. CREEVEY gave notice, that on Monday he should move for sae Bstimates of the East India Accounts, for the years 1806 and 1807. made On: in a different form than that in which they at pr,- sent are. On the motion of Mr. LONG, the Irish Militia Transfer Bill was committed, and the Report was ordered to he received to.morrner. Sir JOHN NEWPOR I' rose for the purpose of putting a question to a Right Hon. Gentleman op posite. He wished to know whether he (the Cna cellor of the Exchequer) meant to produce, dui ing this Session, the Returns respeding the Irish Arch bishops t because he thought the WO& to which they related was one of the utmost importance, and he should certainly take an catty opportunity to propose some measure relative to the establishment, early in the beginniog of next Session. Even in one country. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER expressed a wish to know whether the motion, which the Right Hon. Gentleman meant on that day to propose, was to he of a military, civil, or ecclesias tical nature ? Because it would be necessary for him, and rhos- who aged wi•h him, to be prepared, so as to meet the case to w' ich he ( Mr. Sheridan) meant to e II the attention of the House Ms 4 4117.R1DAN replied, that he had not the least ohjeftion m t-11 h:s ofakft. It would I.e to submit .o the House a resolution, requiring them to Come to some strong pie ige, that in the ealy part of next Session they wool] proceed to inquire into the c tusea of those cony)l tints which havc made it "teens 41. to Pass so-h Bills as PAIHAM,R! WINO Pow passing relative to Ireland. COMMITTEE Of SIIPP!.Y. SUBSIDIES. he. TO ElttiSSIA AND surrOF.N. In the Committee of Suppli it was moved. that His MOWS Mtllne to the House. relative to the above talkie% be taken into consideration ; upon this occasion, and after the Message was read. Mr. S-creta-y CANNING addressed the Chair man and the Comen;ree, n-arly as follows :—.. Sir. in movi ng this We've, which you have n 0 .... heard. I do not anticipate any obje!tion that can be mad to our granting to His Majesty those rims which ate therein expressed ; but, in order to elucidate sr it, I shall shnitly stele the grounds tattoo which they have become necessary. In the nv‘nth of Nye!) last the sum of 8/.0001 was stated to have been advanced to the King of Prus sia, in confer -nee of a Suhvidiary Treaty, and thtfrlogise 'voted no doubt have made good the . uwwe, had nor certain circumstances occurred, which prevented it. His Majesty's Meesa7,e divides itsell i two parts, the one relative to the Swedish Suii:id,ary Treaty, the other the subsidy advanced, and the arras and military stores furnished to His Prweian Majesty. With respell to the Subsidiary Treaty, it will be o ly necessary to state, that al though the time has arrived. yet the whole pay ments have not yet been made. fiy former 'treaties the Kimp iiiSerecten was bound to maintain 8,000 men •in Swedish Pomerania. to posh the pro gress of the Swedish arms fur her than at any firmer period; and in consequence of a ,u'vsequent ailiance between Prussia and Sweden, in which the former power rogaged to furnish 10 010 men, it was th. ug'.t proper to afford an atlitional assist ai-ce to the Ling of :4vre.kn, in order to enable him to undertake a tortwr mivement, at a period when it was kilo en that the whole of the force colletted was not sufficient to make head against the French army, by angm•nting the force he employed up in that caeca t i ))))) Won 12 thousand to la thousand men. Tree addition was, therefore, 4000 men ; and this occurreiiee teed( place in the end of November, although the knowledge of it had not arrived in this cotintry till recently ; and no money having been paid for t us purpose, I have now to propose a vote of the H t e m eke good that exigency. The utmost expente, in point of fad, supposi-g t':e Treaty still rem siniog in force, would hare been be tween tO and 30,0001. Alto the King et Prussia, His Majesty has made an advance of 100,0001. besides considerahle supplies in military sto:es a•id arms. Chat mode of advancing money, although sanc tioned by the precedent in March, would not have been adopted, had it not beets in covet-mplation of the Treaty that was to sub,ist betwixt toat unfor tunate hlonatch and this country. That Treaty was in etre.% suhsequetely framed, and it was one of the stipulations thereof, that an advance of '20,0001. should be made in addition to the 80,0001. which had been given to him in March. Unquestionably, the Treaty itself cemprehended sums of a larger amount than that in goestion, but it also contained wand seipulatioos, witch have not boen observed in consequence of the change of air sirs upon the Continent. The evens, of the supplies of arms, which ought to have come under another depart ment, added to the other sums. would snake the w'iole vote to His Prussian Majesty amount to 180,00JI. The Right Hon. Gentleman then con cluded with moving, as the first Resolution, 4. That the sum of 180,0001. shall be paid to His Majesty, in order t s enable him to make good the like sons advanced to the King of Prussia, in consequence of the urgency of the affairs upon the Continent." • On the motion being proposed from the Chair. Lord IV-Ma PErTY said, he could feel no objeCtion to the advance which had been made to His Prussian Nl.jesty, because if any thine could persuade him of its propriety, it would be the cir cumstances under which the 10,0001. had been for merly advanced ; this matter having been entrusted into the Wilds of Lord Hutchinson, whose enter pen, knowledge, prudence, Dag caution, entitled him to every decree of confiJonce beiare repo ed in his condo% With rested to th • o,nrineenf T•eaty with the King of Sweden, lie should not say mu - h. till he heard how the public ex gencies had made that additional sithsi4y necessary. Mr. WHITBREAD wished to know whether the stinitlatinns of those tr-a•ies that hod not been fut. filled, were liktly to be so ? It did appear to him, that some additional informatinn would fteerremelY import it ; altimeah by ,heir no; h lying been rntM oleted it was not thought prome by the Right Hon. r.,,ntlemin to bring the suhjedt bef ire the H men. This he thought was a very nefor•itriate circurne stance. that His Majesty's C, .vernment did not deem themselves host to 61 'no tn. whole elf the provisimo tin ter the nevi-er of t' .e House.. Ursa the %Oiling of the advance to Prussia, miteh doubt ? nigh t sie..e as to the corn tenee of making it It appeared to him to have e'en ironoliey in the whole tratnadisn, and he sh oil therefore In. glad to have an opportunity of reviewing it. He ih uld much lament if Parliament were thus in be de prive I of the monist -unify of getting sir the neere of th ce stieelations alluded to, and if it was to be with-held by Mi• icons themselves, he should pro. hahlv think of submitting a motion to etre& this de. sirable ()Nell Mt. CANNING said, that although he did not himself see any Parliamentary necessity for h's lay ing the whole of these stipulations before the Howie, • yet he thcught it might be competent to the Hon. Gentleman to make any motion he pleased noon the suhjeft, if be deemed it likely to be satisfaCtory. His not doing so was from no shyness upon his part, or on the part of Government, to enter upon an in vestigation of their condutt as to Foreign Powers. They, on the contrary, wished to have it as nar rowly lotned into as possible ; and felt, in common with the Hon. Gentleman. a regret that that subjea was excluded. by a concurrence of circumstances. prom earning under their notice ; but if thd Hon. Gentleman wished to then his jealousy tenon this sohjeCl, he might call for any further eeplanation he pleased. With respetl to the vote which he had proposed, it stood upon the same greunds upon which a farmer one had been made. Mr. WHITRREAD said, thet, in contequmce of the King's Speech. Ministers certoitly stood pledged to give an enlightened view of our foreign alliances. They at present stood upon dig' rein grounds from those which existed at the time the sum of 80,000 h was ;Omitted to the consideration of the former Parliament. That subsidy was motto upon an emergence, for a spicific pnrisoo; and .t was prop aed. by the late Admitoistration, that the subsidy to that power should end there. It was expressly intimat d. at the time. that there was no intention of following it up with any other subsidy to the King of Prussia ; and it was proved. to the satisfnaion of the last Parliament, that it was one which was extremely politic to provide far. Now. as to the 1 00.0n01. it app•srad to he the fame than, Hai been pail to His Pruoian Majnoty, without any specific osi,et being stated to the House, as the cause of doing so ; and he understood it was only part of a million of money that was to have been paid to that power, had ant circumstances prevent ed the treaty from continuing or going on. 'chat inhoidies were necessary, upon some occasions, he won'd willingly allow ; bin, after this coen•ry had • sted largo sums to the powers upon the Continent, for the period of 14 years, and had seen and ex perienced the results whsch had followed from our off lett, ihonght the syttenstneght to be pursued with ea aion These combinations had been f dto prove, on various araunds, unsuccessful; and, therefore. we - oaght now to be panicularly jealous and cautious it voting away the public money for subsidies in the course of the present war. We ought never to tube sidise a power for the mere purpose of inducing him to make war; hut if he were to have made it for his own rads and interest. er m ern in policy assist hint. Nto viewing the matter in this light, how. ever, the Gentlemen opposite had projealea to give away a million of money. The question to he con sidered was, what had the power sits be su' 'kV ed to give us in return for what we give him. He would ask the Right Hon. Secretary, in what situa tion was the King of Pt tnsi aat the time this ad onal subsidy was paid to him ! WAS he in a con :time that enabled him to repay no ? had been said that it was to give aaivity to a force, %mit+, during that particular campaign, it was physically impossible to put forward, with any 'flee, agai the enemy. Whatever resources that power had, had been expended for purposes in whie s this country could not be concerned, er pa• titularly interested. Were we to subsidize the King of Prussia, in order that he might maintain a certain pomp and establishment for the Emperor of France, at Berlin, his capital ? TWA was not surely a proper casjen upon which to hvish away die pat,- lic money. Under such circumstances, to hare this treaty, with all its various stipulaiiann_laii be fore the House, world mainly be proper, and could not be anenied with any bad consequences. as it followed, of necessity, that bad it had its full elle& it must hate been fatly explained to this House, and be brought ander d sciossion. Ot the fatal policy of signltig socet treaties with foreign powers, we had already had sufficient instances. and undoubtedly he should wish the present treaties to be produced. in order to show the impoliey and improariety of them. Mr. CANNING said, he should be sorry should any false impression remain upon the mod of the House, AS to the cochlea! of Government in these particulars. The exigency under waich thus sun. aid,' was granted to Prussia was really in tha highesc degree pressing. It took place at a time when there happened, or was in contemplation. a change of the prussiaa M nistry, who had &howl a dispo sition to a subserei-ncy and submission to the power of France. This was a time ernen it was thtsee t there existed the less probability of the money being misapplied. and up to a certatnpertod it w:s sup posed that the wreck of the Prussian filonarch • mfrA lESt
