Mr. HILEY ADDINGTON moved. " That there be laid before the House Copies of such Col respondence as passed Isetween any of His Majesty's Steretaries of State and the Governor of Trinidad, as to Grants of Lands to persons resorting there." Mr. WILBERFOII.CE made a few observa tions upon this subjtd; irxil amongst others, that he understood they a/cm rather grants of occupancy, than grants of land, in that island. This Motion was agreed to. On the Motion of Mr. STURGES BOURNE, the Papers presented this day from the Offi:e of the Inspee.tor General of Exports and Imports, were or dered to be painted. The Irish Si gar Drawback RegulatTon Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday next. The Irish Quit Rents, and the Auction Duty Bills, were severally read a second time, and or. dered to be committed on Monday next. Sir JOHN NEWPOR T moved, "That the House should go 1:1I0 a Committee, to consiskr of the propriety of placing the Duties upon Stamped Paper (including the proceedings in Courts Law) upon the same footing in lrelaud as in Eng. land, except in certain cases.' The House went into such Committee, and he moved a Resolution to the said purport. which was agreed tot -sod, no tabs Hotwe resuming, the Re port was ordered to be received acc3rdingty. Mr. ROSE said, that on account of the abs-nce of one of her friends. he wished the Noble Lord op poite, to postpon., 't.e further consideration cf his Financial nesolui .as, from Monday to some subse quent day next week. Lord HENRY PETTY answered, that, as he stated, last nig:it, he still thought it material that no delay should take place. In compliance with the Right Hon. Gentlomau's wish, however, he should only propose, on Monday, t':at these Resolutions shoed be proposed, in the Comipittee ; and that the Report should be brought up on Wednesday next, when the' discussion upon them might take place. HAMPSHIRE PETITION. Mr. ASHTu,d StA 11'Hrose, in pursuance of his notite, to submit a Motion upon this subjea. Be fore doing so, he should request that the Clerk of the House should read the Petition which he had formerly presented, complaining of the undue Elec tion for Hanshire. [Here the Petition. the purport of which we for merlr stated. was read ; and also. upon the lion. Member's subsequent suggestion, the Resolu tions of the House, in 1779. relative to the Crimi. nality of Ministers, or any Servant under the Crown of Great Britain. direaly, or indirealy, using their influencz iu the Elation of Members of Parliament ; it being. at all times, considered by the House, as aimed against its liberties an .1 independence, and injuring udr free end happy Constitution.] The Hon. Gentleman then rose, and • made a speech upon this exertion. but in such a low tone of voice, as to be almost pertealy inaudible to the Gallery. He trusted the House would believe, that he would be the last man that would bring forward any charge, such as that contained in the Psuition which had been read, from ally personal ani mosity against the Right lion. Gentleman oppo site (Mr. Freemantlel. He cauld assure that Right Hon. Mem e'r And the Huse, that he enter lathed none, and that he was only actuated by a sense of public dory. in bringing this matter before them, as he deemed it highly worthy of their most serious consideration. It was a matter of notoriety, tba: that Gentleman (Mr. Freer:Montle), had 1114.1 C as of all that extensive interest. which his publi: offi:ial situation afforded him, in the county of Hants, for the purpose of supporting the two persons who had been returned. to the exclusion of the Gentlemen who had served that county for the period of sixteen years. He should, therefore, can chide by moving—" That the Petition, complaining of the undue influence in the Eledion of Members for Hampshire, he referred to the consideration of the Committee of Privileges, to examine the nacid thereof, a to report the same, with their o p r thereon, to the House." This motion was seconded by Sir HENRY MILLMAN. who said, he felt considerable dif&ulty in taking any share in this lousiness, because any observations he might make, might naturally be considered as the result of his own knowledge. He felt it his duty not to allow the privileges of the House to be invaded, upon a 4.ihjea which so materially interested tile public, and the Constitution of the country. His motives }stance in hit power, to trace, detea. anti regular itnerference of Milosters en Elec. was consitont h;s own experlance rreteut occasion, that their influence had col in a meaner the moat unprecedented roue that ever came under tie notice of In :carolling the lourhals of the House, • Mend any ;Titmice exettly similar to At 'he time the Petition Seas presedited, a Noble Lord (Viscount Howick) oppcoit.- had stated, tkat many misrepresentations hadbeen made, aid pr. judices created in the public mind, upon this subje.O. This he (Sir H. Mildmay) believed to have been the c.ase; but then these prej }dices had be o melted by Alin:sr :rs themselves, for eke pur psse of foeour mg their ',bleat. rej iced that tLis • Petition had bent ongat forwerJ, and he agreed with tile Noble Lord, o at if the Petitioners nailed s; in adducing proof of what they asserted had t••k• a place in the county of Ha u t., such [shut sr ,ought to fall uptia the heads of those who seg . :este. ed and brought it b 'fore the House He, for one, submitted to tha l t prolosition But if it sh.eld so happen, thole they were not only able to m eke ouc • what they had ajeged, bat even• a room-et case than what wonder:rained in the Petirioo, foe should call upon thp fuse to redeem the , solemn pledge, which they hodgiven in the year 1779 • o the public. He trusted, that •V - te Noble Lord soul not suffer tech flagrant atewes of p-wer and infl•ience so seek . proreaion under his strung 1 , 111 Ilq w.y of es.. planation, he shou state. that the county of South ampton h a d terra • '' 'ties belistging to it; there ate variou. description proporty, which do not auntie the proprietors to v., at the EleChon. such as Collegiate Property, Cnio; rop r and others, so that there were prop:Jr-nor:oh rc voters in that county than in aoy other, althengio equally opulent. There were upwards of 4O of the freeholders of the county constantly employed by the Executive Government for the time There was also an infinite variety of persons tbelre g who were indirenly under the controul of Gnvern silent ; he meant. that there were whole shoals of those who were called Contraaors. lle only awed this by way of expLtnetion of what he m.ant afterwards to allude to ; and what he meant to infer was, that in addition ti this long-esteli'ished influence on the past of Government, which must increase in pre. portion to our naval force, the whole Barrack De. pertinent was employed as their agents. So long A'. this was the We, it was utterly tosposhOle for any indeorndent man to grapple with Government, or to be ssccessful in what was called a popular Election. He could read certain papers, for vie purpose of spewing, that the undue interfnence he anoded to. did not originate solely with the Seem.- tory of the Treasury or the 3arrack Master of that. County ; hut that it was a dig toted plan, genet ally concerted on the part of His Majesty's Mini ions, to excludelriarn Election an Hon. tk.er•desnan who had served that County tor It; yeart,a.ad who bad iislfilled his duty in the most honourable and independent manner. On the 11th of August, Lai lemple called upon Sir William Ileanicote, and said, Le was commissioned by Lord G•enville to say, that Government were entitled to 66,1 forward such gentlemen As were not in the Opposition ; but that it he would stand alone, he should nos be or I subsequent to which, an explanation had taken piece between the NOhle Lard and that H m. Baronet --- [Here Sir Henry Mildrisry read various copies of letters, for the purpose of proving his assertions. These letters were dated from the Barrack Office. upon His Majesty's service, and related to the mode of conduaing and defraying the ezpence of Vie eleaion alluded to.] The cooclusions he w from them. he trusted would be rendered more evident in the Committee which had been proposed. This was a question which was not confined to Hampshire s it was one which be thought materially involved the spirit of the Constitution. It was a dare& inva sion, by Government, upon the privileges of every individual in that Hou.e. Nu person et-told op pose such a sort of influence ; and if Parliament admitted it, it would be forfeiting a great pore Lion of its own honour and dignity. He, sin cerely lamented that the matter tied not been brought forward earlier ; hut the reasons of delay, he trusted. had been already sufficiently explained. He next read a letter from the Duke of Chandos, is 1779. which was the foundation of the Rests lotion which the House had passed in that year. and he sinceraly wished that the House would con cur with the sentiments contained therein, and com pare them with those letters which were now upon the table. Mr. FREEMA.NTLE--" I have heard, Sir, the nature of the charge which has been made, and I now feel myself called upon to rise, in order to persuade yon, the House, and those who have brought it forward, that I ant not so far cul pable as they have been pleased to allege.
