Earl NiolltA siihmieed to the House a Bill for the alteration of the code tv-tweeiv.Dehtnc and Creditor. In its prine;ple it went to afford relief to the unfnrtunate an.: to the embarrassed, at the same tinae that it snbjeSed to punishment the frau dulent, and all those persons who possessed them selves of the of others, under false pre t-inces.

The BM was ordered to be pn te.l Lord HOLLAND 'meted t, a douse seen after. and preseotad several petitions froni team tenet* debases, confined in dsdi rent gaols of the kingdom, an 3 particularly one from the King's Beach Prison, which, it- his mind, evinces; the necessity ot tomet mediate alteration of that Code.

LEVYING MOSSY WITH:.'./F 'XIII: CONSENT OF PARLIAMENT. Lord tIAWKESSUKY rose to lay before the HMV the Order of Council, bearing date the 27th May. authorising the cot.tionance of the Wed- with the United States of Ame?iess ender ehe music lUnitatiens of the expired A& of Portia. assist, which bad heretofore regulated it. He in formed their Lordship' that it was the intention or His Majesty's Government to revive the a& for re. gulating that trade, and to insert a clause of in &enmity, Inc the exercise of those powers, wheel). under special circumstances, Hi. Majesty's Govern meet .ad conceived it advisable to exert, although contrary to law. Lord AUCKLAND declared him-elf unwil ling to enter into a premature discussing of the question ; at the same time he thought it but fair to apprise the Noble Secretary of State, t h at t h ere ieteniien with His Majesty's late Government. of continuing the Legislative AA which regulated the commercial iatetcourse be tween this enantry aid the United States of Anse- Inca ; and that for the most obvious reasons, the racist striking of which was, chit in the present situation of the wield, it was fixed to restrift the carrying tra.!e which neutrals, and, of course, the Americans, had web our East India possessions. Indeed, the siteation of the late treaty. which the Commissioners for the two countries had signed, put it out of the power of any Administration to a& definitely. until either the approval or reje&ion of that treaty by the respedlive Covet nments was accurately ascertained. teOLLANI.) observed, that as it had been fn. euently sionottoced, and much insisted upon, that His Majesty's late Ministers, in endeavouring to pass • eneesere for relief to a great portion of Hos Neje' - ty's sobjede, had violated thefundamental pi inciplsi. of the tenstitation ; he should, in the first place, desire that the A& of William en I Mary, regulating the successims of the Crown. should be reed ; and be wished particularly to impress upon the House that part of the said A& tallith declared it illegal and Lincs... itutional to levy motley an the eihjezts of thi s c o u ntry, even by the din-e of the Ke g. without the consent of i• - Legislature. The Clerk of the House having read the Ael, his Lordship proceeded to shew that Ills Majesty's Govetossent had arrogated to themselves an au thority of raising money. and that not upan an tint:peeled exigency, or one which stoic ham eir cunr-tinces twicf the connotil of the advisers of the Crown. but was the esied of that appeal to the sense of the people, which, for the best and wi-cat purposes. they had detei mined on mating. Hay ing made that appeal, just hiving wantonly vielated es.e 1.6 w of the land, Ministers neat call upan the None for indeter.ity, and prove teenne:ve. by smith condoet, not the saeguine irievids, bet the wan:ost vhdaturs of the 'tamed lindsnarks of the Coo siitreitio. So eerie:) , irnerese.J did he feel with the " tovtatikitce of toe caper re..-r.ted by the Noble ;;er rt tire, with t..e ocer-1 and ine.samplei procedure wh:c Flit al-jest?' Grimly... - . in to pursue. : he c.ald it.' A lady MOVinig " Tir.o II Ole:mum: be furincd pm pose of .earelliag in io ereceslents wain .nty of the people bas beets levied by the , without the CM tet of Parliament." .1 HAW KESSU iiY admitted, that the cen filnistets, in the pte.est cage, was a Vil4AttOft lAW i.S the laud. But it was a question for io.issi to inquire. whether Diet erns mess trxx t:itesl by certais sits,cial circumstances mut au coneit.cests to indessuil Administration , ParAMOMMEMPAPIII.E.I..... ASO limas with the %t 8 performance of thee ditties. Indeed, there were special cases in which the Con stitu ion vested in the Crn Nil the exercise of certain powers, which, though not authorised by law, were still constitutionally correa. argued ably ant svongly against the dos:l6n' of the N We Secretary tit Siate. He contended, that the Crown hid no p weer vested in it ionise money without the consent of the Parlia ns.dis. It, in moments of exigency, insperious and ti'toreseen, the state, of public business, and tite sui tors of the piiblic wants Justified a temporary devia tion fr , m t: e acknowledged laws of the land, such a justification could not be extended to a case si milar to the prasent,where Minister , actually created the inconvenience which thy have wi died to remedy, and wantonly violated the most sacred and positive of our constitutional iijusttions. He felt disiticlined to enter then into a discussion cf the sub jells but he could not conscientiously return home without impressing his dissent from the principles laid down by the Pjo►le Lord ( Hawkeshuty). Lord HAWICKSBURY rose to explain, as he was afraid the Nubia Baron had misunderstood him The only oh•ervation hie made Was. ►hat, in special cases, the Parliament, by their consequent indemnity, gave to the Minister of the Crown. if not a right, at le,,st a strong inducement to consult the intermts of the state, and to resort to those means which very frequently the letter of the law forbids to be used. Earl BATHURST took a retrospcaive view of our contruetce with America, since that cvuetry ceased to be our colony. He perspicuously proved that the duties could be raised under the si.eu.e which regulated net intercourse with I reign p, w ers ; and the great distinftion in this case was, tl,at whatever duties His Majesty's Government might have thought ovum to forego, there was not a single increase over the ordinary impost► upon lc reign shippiog. Which the Crown was certainly au thorised to ieenive, without et all renewing the American commercial aas of regulatiao. LordGRENVILLE still eontended, that the per. spisuous statement of his Noble Friend did neither justify the conduit cf Ministers. or invalidate the strong nbjettions which he felt to their intended proceeding.. Either money was levied on the sub jell, without the consent of Parliament, and the law , if course, violated ; or, if money was not raised, a dipensing power with the law was assomed, which, in his mind, was equally improper and riiprelsensi b!e. At all events, it was necesiary tc untriite. be cau e, even if the order now on the table was. striilly legal, there was - riothing in it, which, in his opinion, gave to any department of C.:imminent ,the power of levying the duties; and hence it would become' necessary to incjoiie for those in struEtions, and from • what branch of the Govern ment proceeding. whidh direaed this superadslition to be made to the order. Lords liarroieby.Eldon.and Muljreve, severally objeaed to the appointment of the proposed Com- Mine; and Leeds Auckland, Lauderdale, and Romlyn. spoke is favour of it. Lewd HAWKESBURY wished to have the Mo. tion withdrawn. or at least postponed till some hi. tine day ; but finding that it was the dementia. non of the Noble Lords to press it, he moved the previous questidlss The previous question was then carried without a division against the motion of Lord Holland. Lord GRENVILLE then moved for leave to present two Bills for th- amendmeit of the Judica. tort of that part of the United Kingdom, called Scotland. His Lordship stated, that there was nothing new in his Motion, for that these Bills were presented pursuant to Resolutions pared in a for mer Session. and which Resolutions were framed, proposed. and passed, with the avowed determina tion not to take the people of jcodead by surprise. but, on the contrary, to afford the most ample oppot. tunity to that part of the United Kingdom to delibe rate upon, and maturely to consider the necessity and importance of passing the Bills here proposed, with out any unnecessary or further delay. If any delay bad occurred to the passing of these Bills, it was not the fault of the Mover of the ltesolutious. in which it was expressly provided, that these Bills should ►e passed in the present Session, as tier great and expedient advantages were called for, upon the admitted defeats and insnSciency of the present mode of administering justice in Scotland. The titles of these Bills are—a Bill for the Ames liaration of the Administration of Justice in Scot land, in certain Civil Causes, by the *l' rial by Jury ; and a Bell for the better regulating the Court of Sessions in Scotland. Toe LORD CHANCELLOR descended from the Woidsack. atid stated, that he was a friend to the principles of these Bills, but that great diffi culties ha +mg occurred in sonic of the clauses there in, he had proposed another Bill, which he hoped would stand clear of severel objections in the Noble Lord's Bias, or Resolutions. and which Bill, the Chancellor stated. he would bring for ward i 3 the next Session of Parliament, it being manifestly too late to introduce such a subject in ' this Lord GRENVILLE replied, that as the suhj•ct of these Bills was fully and universally understood, and imperiously called for, to put an end to an ad mitted and crying delta in the Administration of Justice in Scotland, there was abundant time for passit.g these Bills, which had been so long consi dered and adjusted. unless it were the ;Aka of His Majesty's Ministers, to have, for their own caner usenet'. dissolved the late Parliament, and to m eke this s i short, as that no s lificieut us important busi ness could be done in it; which intention of the Ministry would be fully evinced, by the result of Ibis question. in rejeaing, or even postponing those Bills. Lord 11AWKESBUItY said, he felt himself wairanted in insisting on a notice, previous to the bringing these Bits forward, although he felt no diffi culty in asserting. that the great body of the Sco , ch nation were not for the change proposed. In this argument, his Grace the Duke of ATAOL followed Lord Hawke bury, and stated, that he had taken cam to make inquiries upon the subjefl, and found that it was ~nn the general sense of the people ut Scotland to have these Bills passed at remit. The Earl of ROSSI.YN rose, and briefly stated that k was the general and prevailing SCAM of the atd.a. ....a.4fticasksix...2Bl4 that rosculk • tenJyti t inmardit eke t't orti Crutvn, r dud of of ti , . tLe Lig, not phi WIRY I • in those Noble Lords, who in the last Session were such strennons approvers of the measure. Lord HARROWBY spoke against the Bills, as did Lord BORINGDON, a few words. The Earl of LAUDERDALE with much fires' contended that these Bills e.ould not be postponed, on account of the act of the Ministry. in dissoleins the late Parliament; as such a dissolution. un necessary. in his opinion, caused much delay to many measures of urgent and important ce. entity. He stated, t ha t the sense of that great and enlightened body, the Scotch Ear, hid been talon upon this subjeet, as also that of the Corroner cial and M rcantile Interests of 0 it country. 10.iell were in unison with the Noble Wieet for the tape iliency and necessity of tire speedy paviiirg of these Bilk. The Doke of ATIIOL again rose, and stated, that not witthranding all the N otile Earl (Lauder dale) had stated, he knew that the present rneasnre was not the univet,al or general sense of the scotch nation. The Earl of L A UDEItDA LE row, an I in reply stated, that the universal and ezpres‘ed sent, of tile people, in their public and individual capacity, Lid mare weigh( and credibility, than any Notate Lord, ri,,ang up in that !louse, could, hy lue assertion, ex. peg io obtain. At this time the LOltll CHANCELLOR left the Woolsack, and moved that their dills should he now read for the Are time, which was accord logly done ; upon Illke &lotion M Lord GREN VILLE, the Bills Were ordered to be pruned.... Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The Speaker took the Chair at halGpast three o'clock, when a pest number of priece Petitions were presented. mad nritate Bills brought up. Sir SAMUEL 110:1ILLY obtained leave to 'sting: in a Sill for the mere earanally securing the payment of the Debts of Traders, _or such as tall wii:iin the meaning of the lidliljirktpt Laws. This Bill, the Learned Mem')ei stated was 'mealy the same as that brought in during the lan Parliament. . nEartltsfoN:s Mr. BAN RES moved, is that the Resoletion of the 24th of March, relative to Reversions ,be read." This being done. he then stored, " For leave to bring in a Bill to abolislothe granting of eases in reversion, or for joint lives for tile benefit of survi. tors." Sir JOHN NEWPORT said. that he had dur ing last Parliament brought in a Bill for ah^... ang or regulating certain offices in Ireland. but owing to sortie omission of the Commissioners of Inquiry, a certain sinecure office had been omitted. He meant the office of Surveyor and lostreaor of tt.e River Kenmore, in that country. which office had become to a certain degree useless, and ought there fore either to be modified or abolished He only rose fur the purpose of suggesting the propriety of intro ducing this office into the Bill propo-ed by the Hon. Gentleman. The last Gentleman who had enjoyed it was Sir Boyle Roche, and it hid been for some time vacant. but he hoped that some mea sure would be taken to prevent its beiog granted de ono. Mr. HERBERT observed, that the office alluded to by the Hon. Baronet was far from being useless. The river Kenmore had very considerable harbours, which required attention ; and a very extensive smuggling was carried on, whii.h ought to be pre vented. From his local lnualedge of the country, he thought that such an °dice ought to be conti nued. If, however. it were thought proper to be abolished, he should propose that some other office, somewhat similar. ought to be created. Lord HENRY PE ITY said, he did not doubt the fa& as to the facility of smuggling existing upon that river; but be had heard nothing said that eonvinced him the office mentioned contributed in any degree to present it. He c•incurred with the worthy Baronet in thinking, that the office ought either to be abolished, or the nature of the duties of it altered, and that it should not he given to a person residing in Dublin, but to A Gentleman re siding in that part tit the country where lie was most likely to acquires local knowledge of circumstances and events connected with the river in question. Sir Altruutt WELLESLEY thought. that instead of being abolished, it ought to be regulated. Col. VEREKER observed, that there were two Surveyors appointed for the river Shannon. After some tut ther observations from Sir JOHN NEWPORT, leave was given to bring in the Bill. Lord HENRY PEATY gave notice. that he shou4l, to-morrow, move foe leave to bring in a Rill tot the better remitting the revenue of Scot land. Lord TEMPLE said, that seeing an Hon. Secre tary in his place. he wished to know whether it was his uttention to tiring in a Bil to repeal the Ain. rims Intercourse Bill ? Mr. ROSE answered, that he certainly should think it very extraordinary to repeal such a Bill. while a treaty was depending. Mr. ROSE moved, ' , That the Paymaster-General be ordered to lay before the House all the estimates and accounts for paying and clothing the several corps of Invalids." Mr. LONG moved, "'That theN be laid before the House an Account of the Receipts and Exper.- ditute of the British Museum, since the year t 3 r." —Ordered. Mr. Rose presented a Petition from the Trustees of the British Museum, praying for perniission and aid to purchase the Lansilown Colle&ions Mr. LONG observed, that as a Committee had been formerly appointed, upon a similar Petition. during last Parliament, unt had :sot made their Re port, he sl Id move, s , That another Committee should be appointed to manioc the matter of said Petition. and to report the same, with their Opi:.ilts and observations thereon, to the l louse, and the Mi nutes of the evidence taken thereon."—Ordered, and a Committee appointed. On the motion of Mr BANK ES, there were or dered to be laid before the I louse copies of all such Itegulatious as were made for the better regulation sod artengeniem of the British Museum, and the duties of those en'rusted with its management. and the names of ad strangers admitted to its in.spation from the first of January 14105, to the first of July last.—Ordered.

By these means the House might very speedily be enabled to come to the discussion of this question, which was of great national importance, as well as p irate :n• teresr to the individual ceseetined. In wh at , o " light it. was viewed, every one mow see the riecro thy of bringing it forward during this jessien.—. The House displayed how the finest atter:duos or M. mitre that ever appeared at any former re t i n a at this season of the year, and, dim:44e, he sh o ,oe suggest, that as every person might be in possession W the papers by tnoisorrow morning, the rpesti-n the uld be brouy I.t before the Home in about a for. nigl.t from this date. He wished the Noble Lord to 'lathe an early day, so that by the decision such orders might go nut to India, as might be necessary to form a system for the ensuing year. Lard FOLKS fONE replied, he certainly fah incli:.ed that this matter should be bioneht to conclusian early as 110,Sible, both for the i4tigfac• tion of o.e.l4.4ryiiis N ellesley himself, and to tore the poblic .nterest ; but he very much doubted :hat any such suggestion could be complied with. Ti,r . re might be an understanding th it the papers sdrea,lv printed should be dish Slimed sooty amongst who had not formt rly received c...:1-is; but still io thought such a Motioo as the one 1:e now pmpn.ei necerrary, according to Parliamentary custom. A. though, by these means, it might be possible for th. se papers to be in the hands a every Mettltch, by us-morrow musing. yet it would not be vety easy foe them to make themselves masters of th subjen so completely as to enable them to vote upon it.
