Several Apceals Isere. withdrawn, and dillerent orders made with regard to some of the others. 1 few additional Petittous for farther time to print the cases were presented, and ordered to be taken into consideration to-morrow.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, JA.N. 14. POLICE. Mr. Secretary RYDER said, he understood that an applica tion bad been made from the parish of Lambeth, for leave to bring in a Bill for new modelling the watt:loin that Parish ; and he row wished to give notice, that when he moved fora Select Coin mittee to examine into the Police of the Metropolis, he should also move, that the Petition of the above Parish, and any similar Petitions, be referred to the said Cquunittee. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCREQU FA read at the Bar the answer of the Prince Regent to an Address of the House, im porting, that the Financial Documents therein applied for would be lai.l before them. On themotion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, a slight alteration was made in the order of the late Vote of Thanks to Lord Tinto, Sir S. Auchmuty, Admiml Bertie, THE KING'S HOUSEHOLD. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. moved, that an Address be presented to the Prince Regent, praying that be would be pleased to or der to be laid before the House, an abstract of the Accounts of the current charges of the Civil List Revenue, with the estimate of the sane, in 1804, and all the expences of the same since that period up to July, Ist l, distinguishing every charge under its proper head. Mr. TIERNEY thought it would be proper, that the estimate sanctioned by Parliament, in 1786, which was a very improtant paper ) and also the cur rent charges of the Civil List from that period to 1801, should also be laid before the House. The CHANCELLOR of the F:XCHEQUER saw no manner of objection to this addition. The SPEAKEIt suggested, that a sufficient num ber of copies of the Estimate of 1786 might perhaps be in store, for the supply of such Gentlemen as were not already possessed of it; and till that was as certained, it might be proper to postpone that part of the motion. The Address was then agreed to. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved a similar Address for an Account of all Sala ries and Disbursements at Windsor, in the several departments of the Lord Steward, the Master of the Horse, and the Master of the Robes, during the year, ending sth July last.—Ordered. Mr. PONSONBY said, he did not rise to oppose the Resolution, but merely to makes few observa tions on the course which was now pursued. Ile was sorry to observe, that on subjects of this nature there had gradually been introduced a great change into the constitution of the country. When any alteration of the policy of the country, either with regard to its agriculture or colonies, was thought ne cessary, in former times, then it was customary to call Parliament together, for the purpose of taking it into consideration ; and the people used to address the Crown, that Parliament should be assembled for that purpose. Now, however, he was sorry to say, it seemed to be the general feeling, that it-was quite sufficient to apply to Ministers for a remedy of the evil that was feared. Cases of extreme necessity might iudeed arise, when the immediate interference of Government was necessary ; but as nothing of that sort existed then, he thought it would have been wise and proper for Ministers to call Par liament together, before entering.into any arrange ments with the distillers, on a subject in which the agricultural policy of the country was deeply inte rested. He could not help noticing, with regret, as a great change in the constitutional feelings of the I country, that the people, instead of looking to Par liament, as in former times, now looked up to Mi- Inisters anti men in office for the adoption of any measure. He did not mean to apply blame to the present Ministers in particular ; but would only say, that since the end of July last, when the idea of his Majesty's speedy recovery ceased to be entertained, and the Government was in some measure fixed, Parliament might have been assembled for the per pose ollikking this matter into consideration. Ho lamented the departure from ancient usage which had taken place, in applying to any other quarter than Parliament for the redress of grievances. I The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER conceived, that when Parliament was not sitting, it became absolutely necessary on the part of the peo ple to apply to Government, and state their wishes lou any part of the policy of the country. This was precisely what had been done; and he really did not see any thing in it calculated to alarm the most deli cate sensibility. The stoppage of the distilleries ‘kas a measure that Government could only have adopted with great reluctance, particularly after the repug nance which Parliament had shewn last year to ad mit the distillation from sugar. There was also this to be considered, that the body of Distillers had laid in their stocks of grain, and malted their barley ; so that it becanie necessary to allow them a reason able time to work up their materials. All that Govern ment could do, therefore, and all that they had done, was merely to give notice to the distiller to keep his stock as short as possible, as it was intended to sub mit a measure to Parliament for prohibiting the dis tillation from grain, with which it was likely that Parliament would concur. This was better than stopping the distillation at once, which might have caused considerable inconvenience. Mr. PONSONBY observed in explanation; that the object of his observations merely was to shew the impropriety of any trade coming to Ministers, and receiving directions from them, as to what should be done in this respect or the other. This was, in fact, occupying the province of Parliament, which was the proper place for discussing all affairs connected with our foreign or domestic policy, and which contained many Members fully competent to the wise discussion of such subjects. This usage, which had lately crept in, was productive of great mischief; for Parlia ment must naturally feel much greater difficulty in altering any arrangement which Ministers had alreay entered into, than in originating a measure after a full discussion of all its bearings. Mr. ROSE said, that had Parliament been called together at an earlier period, for the express object of taking into consideration the prohibition of the use of grain in the distilleries, it would have probably caused much greater alarm than there was any occa sion for, and increased the evil which was meant to be prevented. The Resolution was then agreed to. Several other Resolutions were then adopted, the substance of which was,—That it should he lam ful for the Prince Regent, with the advice of his Pricy Council, by Proclamation, after the Ist of October, 1812, to permit the distillation from grain, or to cOn tinue the suspension for 30 days after the 31st of December, 1812. A third Resolution went to sub ject sugar-wash to the same duties as were paid on corn-wash. A fourth went to impose an additional duty of 12f per cent. on all foreign spirits imported, 4►ith the exception of rum. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then stated, that he did not propose that the pro- . 1 hibition should extend to Ireland ; and that of course it would be necessary, that a suspension of the inter course in spirits should take place between the two I countries. The Resolutions were ordered to bo reported to morrow. IRELAND. I Mr. PONSONBY rose, in the absence of a Noble Friend of his (we understood the Right Honourable ' Gentleman to have alluded to Lord Milton), to give notice, that it was his intention to bring forward a motion, on Monday se'nnight, with respect to the state of Ireland. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER hoped that the Right Hon. Member would give a more distinct notice of the motion which was to be brought forward. lie hoped that the House would be put in possession of the nature of the motion. Mr. PONSONBY had not the least objection to give the information required, as far as it was con. bisteut with the forms of the House. It was not the I custom for Members, when giving notices, to state more than merely what their notice was. He had, however, no unwillingness to tell the Right Hon. Gentleman, that the Motion mould embracc the whole state of Ireland, and particularly the condi tion of its Catholic population. The House then went into a Committee on the Su gar Export Bill; the Report was brought up; the Bill ordered to be engrossed—read a first and second time, and to be read a third time to-morrow. The papers moved for by the• CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER with respect to his Majesty's Household, and the state of the Civil List, were brought up, and ordered to be printed. The House then adjournodto to-morrow (this day.) L - ~" DISTILLERIES, The House then went into a Committee to con sider of the Acts relating to the Distillation from Clain. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then rose, and said, he regretted that he felt himself under the necessity of bringing this subject again under the attention of the House, after the discus sions which bad taken place upon it during the last Session. He had trusted that the measure which he then proposed, of permitting equally the distillation from grain and from sugar, would have rendered any application of the nature he meant to propose unne cessary. Parliament, however, had trot thought fit to sanction that measure; and now, though there was no ground for any alarm, yet still there had been such a comparatibe failure in the last harvest, as to render it, he believed, in the opinion of the country at large, , a matter of necessity to abstain from the di:itillation of grain. On this head, he thought that there would also be very little differ ence of opinion in that House; and he would only refer it to the observation and experience of every Gentleman, whether grain of all sorts had not arrived at such a rate of price, as to render it expedient that Us distillation should be stopped. The propriety of this measure would be still farther evident, when it was considered, that we could not with certainty, depend upon any foreign supplies, but had chiefly to look to our own domestic -resources. The whole of this subject had of late years undergone so much discussion in the House, that he did not think it ne cessary to say more on the policy of the prohibition he meant to propose. Gentlemen, were probably aware, however, that last year a very considerable addition was made to the excise duty on the distilla tion from grain, and which formed an important part of the supplies then granted. When distillation commenced last year, the prices of grain rose very considerably ; and yet, notwithstanding this increase of price, and the addition to the duties, he was in-' formed by the Distillers, that there was no reason to suppose that any diminution of the consumption of ! spirits had taken place. It uas, therefore, his in. tention to propose, that such an addition should take place to the duties on sugar-wash as would cam- pensate the revenue for the loss or the additional duty Imposed on corn-wash last year. He meant alio to propose an increase of duty on all 'foreign j spirits imported for consumption, with the exception drum. The prices at which foreign spirits now sold were so enormous, and the profits to the importer were copequently so considerable, that an addi tional duty on them of three or four shillings per gallon would be felt as nothing, arid, at the same' time, secure a market for._ our domestic and colonial spirits. Having stateS thus much, he should con- j elude with moving, w4t from and after the Ist of February next,allApinSien h•onsisralo should cease until the 31st 0( 1110011 fit 1812. i A rr. !AI nits. 1 0 0 0 1 Malta 0 0 Sem) , Brazils PRICL STOCKS Tlll6 Hank 3 per Cent.

We received the following Latter this forenoo:I, upon this distressing subject, from our Correspc;,- dent at Nottingham. " Notli:7g!nsro, 3:lr. 14. . - - " The operations of the Laddit“ now OCCIIp near the whole of the public attention here; for. it_ dependent of the increased number of outrage:: of last week, a correct account of which you have in the Nottingham Review, an 'vent took place last Sunday evening, about seven o'clock, which lae, excited considerable sensation. Upwards of forty men, disguised in smock-frocks and handker chiefs, and armed with pistols, after a proper number of them had beset every house and avenue In the - neighbourhood to prevent an alarm, proceeded too house in Carter-gate, in this town, and demolished eight lace frames ; four of them the property of the holder, who has long been in the lawless practice of paying his workmen partly in goods. Three men and three women wore in the house at the time; and, with the exception of one of the latter, who it was expected would every minute fall in travail, the whole of them were driven into a pantry by the Luddites, while some of their comrades destroyed the frames, and were threatening them with instant death if they made the least disturbance. Immedi. utely on their departure, an alarm was given, and the civil and military authorities proceeded to the scene of action, and scoured all the adjoining roads and by-paths, but without the desired effect; for the. Luddites were not heard of tilklast evening, at Nev Radford, where they deniolished three face frama, tinder circumstances of peculiar resistance. The woman of the house screamed out, for which she received a severe blow on the head with the butt-end of a pistol, and her screams brought in a neighbour to her assistance, who, along with her husband, wire bad just been fcirced out of his frame up stairs by a blow with a sword, endeavoured to secure the depredator ; but his companions, .hen they had done their work,eamo to his assistance, etsd t. 1.4 whole of them got away by fighting their road and splitting the door in pieces. At the Quarter Sessions held yesterday, eleven men were brought up for trita, for collecting money to support the frame-breakers; hut, as no bills were found against them, they were discharged, with a suitable admonition from the Bench. But the Luddites now bid defiance to the law in procaring the means of support; for the; hawk song-books, &c. and the people who are friendly to their proceedings, and understand the object of their pe. ambulations, give them what they please for their trifles. What cannot the ingendity of man perform! !" While murder and robbery seem to be the order of 1 the day, and no individual can shut his door at night, 1 or lay down his head upon hi; pillow, without the dread of being sacrificed before morning, we are glad to find that those who have had access to know the defective state of our present Police, are not only publicly avowing the fact, but concur with is in I opinion, that nothing will ever cure the evil unless the serious interference of Government provide a remedy for it. At the Surrey Quarter So ! sions yesterday, Mr. JACKSON, Chairman of the Meeting, and surrounded by to full Bench of Magistrates, expressed himself upon this import- I lent subject, while delivering his charge to the Grand Jury, in a manner highly creditable to him as a public . Magistrate. -44 When such dreadful butche ries," said Mr. J %CKSON, " were committed—when the public mind was in such a state of fermentation and alarm—when our houses were obliged to be fortified and barricadoed, and our fears still I were lest the enemy without should prove stronger than the garrison within, it would be expected that he would allude to these facts—melancholy facts, ' which certainly demanded our most serious atten tion. lf, as was the case at present, our mer chants could not send out their clerks, at noon day, without danger of their being hustled and ha.- ling their property taken from them by gangs of vit. 1 ' tains, so numerous and so desperate as to isriimidate the Officers of Police froM interfering, every one would agree that such was not a fit. state or society to be in."—Alluding to a late charge delivered by Mr. MAINWAPING, at the Midd4esex Sessions, ;n which that Gentleman gave it as his opinion, that the lo lice already possessed power fully adequate to its object, without the interference of Government, Mr. Jacxsost said, that he entertained a very different view of the subject, and most distinctly pointed out, by a reference•to the Statues in force respecting the Police, that the powers which they , conferred upon public officers, were very limited indeed, and uo stay adequate to the extent of this vuet lletrepe' -- i I ~~ !
