MR. PALMER'S GRANT BILL. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the third reading of this Bill. Mr. TIERNEY asked upon what ground the sum of 50,0001. was selected as the amount of the pro posed grant to Mr. Palmer, particularly after Com mittees of that House had reported that this gentle man was entitled to 84,0001. in addition to his salary from the Post Of The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied, that the sum alluded to by • the Hon. Gentle man was inserted in the Bill, because it was esti mated to be a fair reward for the ingenuity of Mr. Palmer's invention, and he supposed that those who thought that gentleman should have more, would not object to the Bill, especially as Mr. Pal mer had expressed himself content with the proposed grant. Mr. TIERNEY differed from the Right Hon. Gentleman's estimate of Mr. .Pattner's services.— But he wished to know, whetherit' wag intended to grant Mr. Palmer a clear sum of 56,0001. for if the g ant were to include all, he really believed, that from the expeoces incurred by that gentleman in pro secuting his claim, he would not have to receive above 35,0001. This diminished grant he was, however, disposed to consider as a sacrifice to a party in the Lords, who, although the privilege of granting money belonged to the Commons,. had succeeded in repeatedly defeating the declared sense of that . House to do justice to Mr. Palmer—and this pro ceeding was taken without even requiring any con ference with the House of Lords, to ascertain the reasons of such repeated rejection. Mr. Palmer might be induced, under all the circumstances, to express himself content with the proposed arrange ment—but as a Member of. Parliament and a friend • to justice, he felt it his duty to oppose it. • The CHANCELLOR of the • EXCHEQUER said, that it was nothis intention to propose any fur illorgmnt than that specified in the Bill. As to the expences incurred by that gentleman in prosecuting ! his claim, the public could not be fairly called upon to indemnify him. Mr. W. SMITH could easily conceive that the spirit of Mr. Palmer, wearied out by repeated disappointment, might consent to accept less than the fair amount of his claim, but that could not re concile his mind to the proposition. However, as it would be competent to any Member of that House, notwithstanding this measure, to move next Session for a further grant to Mr. Palmer, he should not in that understanding oppose the motion. Mr. ROSE vindicated the grounds upon which he • had opposed the demand of Mr. Palmer ; and as to , the observation of the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Tierney), he could not conceive it any attack upon the privileges of that House, because the Lords baying a voice in the enactment of any legislative measure * thought proper upon this occasion to differ . from it. After a few more observations from Messrs. Rose, Tierney, and Smith, the motion was agreed to, and the Bill passed. On the motion of Mr. ARBUTHNOT, a new writ was ordered for Oakhampton, in room of Lord Graves, who has accepted the office of Lord of the Bedchamber. - Ordered, on the motion of the CHANCELLOR pf the EXCHEQUER, that the House should, at its rising, adjourn to Tuesday next. On the motion of Mr. ROSE, it was ordered .chat the several Reports made to the Privy Council, . with respect to parochial registers under the autho rity of the Act of last Session, should be laid before - the Howe. The CHANCELLOR. of the EXCHEQUER, after observing that he was about to submitametion, • _which it was the intention of Mr. Percevil (had not his lamentable catastrophe prevented it) to have brought under the consideration of the House, pro posed that an advance should be made to the Ameri can Commissioners. These CommissionersAtad been acting under the authority of that House or no less than nine years, Without receiving any pay or allow ance, and were they to be paid only according to the rate of ordinary Commissioners, they would be en titled to 4,5001. a-year, which would produce a de mand of 45,0001. Their demand amounted to 60,0001. but into the merits of this demand he did not at present propose to enter. He could not, how ever, feel it fair towards those Gentlemen to allow another Session to pass over without making them some advance, and therefore he had to move an Ad dress to the Regent, praying that the sum of 25,0001., should be granted to the Commissioners alluded to, and that the house would make good the same. Mr. TIERNEY asked, whether these Commis 'ironer; had been, since the period of their appoint ment, as actively and generally employed as other, Parliamentary Commissioners usually were, as if so, they were no doubt entitled each 15001. a year. The CHANcELLOR, of the EXCHEQUER answered in the acirmttive, stating, that these Corn miesioners were distinguished for their assiduity and' , intelligence, and that they had, by their investiga,' tioas, reduced claims, originally amottuting to AV, millions, to about 1,400,0001. The motion was agreed to. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then rooted a similar Address, for thegrant of 2,9001. to defray the balance of the expences incurred in the improvement of St. Margaret's Church, for the ac commodation of the House, observing, that the amount of this claim, with the Several items, had been investigated by a Committee of the House, whOse Report was decisive in its favour. Mr. TIERNEY thought, that a consideration of - the Report of the Committee alluded to 'ought to pre . 'cede any vote upon this subject. This he.:said with - .out any view to impugn the Report, of which he really knew nothing. But it appeared to him a very ' strange proceeding to, bring forward a proposition of this nature on the lastday of the Session, and in is thin attendauce„without at all catliog the attention of the House to the Report upon which it professed' "to blegteunded. He therefore felt it'his duty' toz o: pewit, from .g• conviction that its adoptioi w td form a very dangerous precedent. • • cciUirr ENAy, stated, that ,t4)4pe i rt tlpon. this subject would hevQ been much estilies.fresented ...to the House; if it were not for' the iseeident, itappened, tp t o Chairman, of the cortioliktee, 16+ smn•rv. i : After some further conversation between Maul.

' Mr. SWAN, referring to the rejection of this Bill in the House of Lords, which excited his sur p rise ) as well, he believed, as that of the majority of those he addressed, gave notice of his intention, at the earliest period of the next Session, again to. bring forward the same Bill. • • Lord A. HAMILTON said, that es.a!Membet of the Hellestone Committee, he felt peculiar solicitude upon this subject, and from the scandaleati transac tions disclosed before that Committee, he was most anxious that it any vacancy should occur in the course of the recess r the House should come to a resolution, or take some proceeding, if consistent with Parlia mentary usage, to prevent the Speaker from issuing hie-writ for a new election. Some measere of this nature he really thought necessary, is seise to guard the House from the disgrace of any Representative who might be again returned by such practice* as had taken place at the Hellestone election. . Mr. TIERNEY observed, that no such proceed ing as the Noble Lord wished for was at all prac ticable, the Speaker being bound to preeeed as the Act of Parliament prescribed. The SPEAKER said, that he should certainly, in such a case, feel himself bound by the Sdttute. THE SLAVE TRADE. Mr. WILBERFORCE rose, pursuant to notice, to move an Address to the Regent for the production' of such information as had been received with re spect to the conduct of the Portuguese Government, in consequence of the treaty signed at Rio Janeiro, in February, 1810, in which treaty the Prince of Brazils had pledged himself to co-operate with his Britannic Majesty, by adopting the most efficacious means for the gradual abolition of the Slave Trade throughout his dominions. The Hon. Member read the words of the Treaty, containing a statement of the grounds upon which this pledge was entered into, and observing, that he need not remind the House of the Resolutions in the same strain adopted in 1806 and 1810, for promoting the abolition of this edions traffic. He expressed his satisfaction that our Government had evinced the utmost sincerity and zeal in its endeavours to accomplish the object of these Resolutions, not only in the Treaty alluded to, but in its more recent communications with Sweden. Therefore he . wished it to be distinctly understood, that he did not mean to impute any disappointment of the wishes of justice and humanity upon this inte- • resting subject, to any want of zeal or exertion on' the part of our own Government. But 'he was sere 1 the House would bear, with peculiar Concern, that 'accounts were received, of the correctness of which there could be no doubt, that nbtwithltanding the solemn pledge of the Prince Regent of Portugal, the trade of the Portuguese in African slaves had, since the abolition of that traffic, increased in a vet) , con siderable degree, and accompanied too with fresh circumstances of aggravation, with such circum stances, indeed, as were outrageous to common ha ' Inanity. On our relinquishing this horrible trade, we found that our views of promoting the acts of peace among the unhappy natives of Africa, were defeated; ' for by keeping up old habits among that people, the expectations we were encouraged to indulge, were wholly thwarted • and 'disappointed. Under such circumstances it Oecarne Our duty to enquire how the obligations of the Portuguese Treaty had been disposed of. It was knowe; that of all the nations formerly engaged in thOlave Trade, the regulations of the Portuguese merchants had been most humane, at least in that portion of that trade carried on to the south of Africa, which comprehended about three-fourths. of their whole trade, for they had very little trade to the . north, to which their., beneficent regulations did not extend. Bat it ' appeared that their trade had of late considerably ex tended in this direction, unaccompanied by any re gulations calculated to mitigate its evil, and in con sequence such numbers of slaves were : crowded into small ships as to produce effects which it would be impossible to describe, but of which sores idea might I be formed from those descriptions of human wretch.
