O, the mutton " •rhat tins Report be t ow irceived— Sir RusEnt WILsoN said, it appeared to hint that the dittos' of the elective franchise over this borough svonh! not protect the public from the res. petition of the ritietice of which Barnstaple had been abuse of that freetdom which was gratified to them as one of the dearest privileges of Englishmen. It appeared to him that Barnstaple would not be reformed by the !101l before -them—the votes of the electors at that borough were cousidered a marketable article. Milli MO cold 114 he asked, res tore the tlectois Of Barnstaple to those franchises which they forfeited by the most corrupt, the most odious, and tl , r most shameful proceedings ? They urn- gu ilty of the tams) of treason—treason itg.iiiist the Coosti twin') of their country. lie hoped he would have le.ive to bring in a Bill to disfranchise the electors of Barnstaple. and at the saint time give them knee to Vole for Knights of the Shire. Front the time of Edward I. to Charles 11. sixty boroughs had been Created and atutihilat ed. iu our own time, its Ireland, fifty boroughs had been disfiatichised, and 300 of the lieptesentatives of that country were reduced to our Imodied. lie would, however. say, that upon the qitestion of the Union of Ireland with 'England, air public feeling of Ireland was not re spected—the !while ()tondo', was not satisfactorily explained nor truly expressed. At the same time 'he nits tree to say, that lie was not iiiimical to that measure. But why was he not inimical to it ? 'because lie hoped it would have been a Union uot merely of the Legislatures, but of the in terests of both commies—he hoped to have f I it a Union founded on It participation of equal rights and of equal liberties— hr hoped to have found it a Union that would have given strength to the empire, and tranquillity to Ireland, that ttould have had for its basis the principle of civil rod religious freedom—that noble principle %loch the bail dots of ignorance and intolenmee had depreastd, but which the enlightened world have now acknowledged and acted on, with the ex ception of England, from whose character lie hoped to see 50 focal a loan) removed.--(Heor, iteur.)— The gallant Officer next touched on the subject of Reform; he said, that whilst his constituents looked for a fair reborn, they did not entertain the prin ciple of annual Parliaments and universal suffrage. He said that Leeds was an ancient Borough; it was disfranchised in the time of Charles 11. without any cause appearing on the Journals. He would move, that the consideration of the Report be postponed to this day six months; and should his motion be agreed to, hr would then move for leave to bring iu a 1;111 to disfrairchise the borough of Barnstaple, usual to confer it mi at the /Arne time the electors of Barnstaple the right of voting for Knights of the Shire, and allowing the present Member to sit for the present Parliament. Mr. WYNN said, that it was presumed the whole of the electors of the borough of Barnstaple were corrupt ; but the fuel was not so. Ile said the elective franchise should be preserved to the sound part of the electors. Sir JOHN NEWPORT supported the Bill. lie was not, lie said, mite of those who looked for r state of the greatest perfection ; lie looked to the attain ment of practical good wherever be could find it.

Mr. MARTIN anggested, that the Bill should be recom mitted, and the evidence should be heard at the bar u to particulars of individual corruption in the borough.

He contended that the diffi. cultic' started by Hon.
