, J. IMP hltid-TL/IL•RLIAMEN7: HOUSE OF LORDS, APRIL 14. Mr. WHARTON, the LORD ADVOCATE for SCOTLAND,, Lord GOWER, and set era' Mend/vas from the Houte of Commons, brought several pri. ate Bills, which acre laid Aron the indite and read .t nest time. rAnipu OE sr. GREGORY r. 'MINOR C•IION A OF T. P•I I.s. Mr. Richards again and Mr. %Vellterall were beard fur the Respondents, and Sir Samuel Rutinlly its rept?. The House will prwilouncejoilEment mod Wednesday. Lord Min t nit AS v. presented a Report relative to the im provements to tw adopted in the adminiAtration of the Nan, which um laid upon the tattle, and upon the mullion of the ?kohl, lawd after a few elewerations of the Earl of Suffolk, it wait ordered that the Report without the Appendix be 'whin& The Scotch Records Bill passed through a Committee. and was reported without any amendment. —Only/A to be read a third lour on Thursday. MR. ERERE. The Earl of DANN LEY said, after what had ap pcansl on their Lordship.' Ode. and diniug the lute ~,,, lie conceived it his duty to inquire if it were the intention of Ilia Majesty's Ministers to &amiss that gentlemen from his official employ as a Minister ; for it' it were nut their intention to do so, be should thiuk it incumbent for himself, or for some Noble Lord, to make a motion on the subject. Ile could not now fix a day, or the slit cifie nature of his motion, but should take the earliest opportunity of so doing. The Earl of LIVERPOOL bore testimony to the xeul.autl general ability of Mr. Foie in his charac'ter ; hut he must ullow, in the instance alluded to, he had acted with great impropriety.— With respect to the inquiry- of the Noble Earl (Darnley), he must decline giving any positive an swer oa the sulijeet.hit he was addressing himself to their Lordships, lie wished to observe, that iu the lute discussion he seemed to have been misunderstood ; he did not represent that, on the 221 of .August, there were in Portugal more Eng lish cavalry than those of the enemy. He desired the House to take into consideration, that, at the time of the armistice, there was a fresh supply of cavalry arrived in Mondego Bay and off the coast, so that at the time it was practical to have very soon a greater force in the field. Earl Gee , / said, probably the Noble Secretary had been misunderstood ; hut lie only had to ob serve in that clew, no arenment whatever had been used to throw off the disgrace of that Convention. from themselves. . Meth:PRESENTATION. Earl CaosveNtre. rose to mention a misrepre mutation which had appeared ie the public Papers, .with regard to what bad been alleged by him in that House on a former occasion. It hail been im puted to him, that lie had stated Sir John Anstro ther had died for waist of uourishusent. He now teak an opportunity, for the sake the relatives of that Oticer, to contradict the statement so imput. ed to him. While speaking on this subject, he could n..t but notice the inconvenience attending those who were dispt lied to give an Recount of their Lordships' proceediugs ; and, although there wus standing order on the subject, and the oat had no right to a report, still a long practice had, in some measure, led them to expect au acceulit of their discussions in that House. The Noble Earl conelwled by saying, lie 611004 wish that the order should mot be put so rigorously in executimi. DlvOitcF.S. The AR(*11111'11,0! inquired, if the Noble Baron opposite (Aticklatiti) could inform him of the time and nature of his intruded motion respecting di. vorees ? Lord AUCKLAND said, it was his intention to bring that minion very speedily before the House. and he should take the earliest opportunity of giv ing notice of the time and the nature of it. PCPULETT'S DITMICE BILL. Counsel were again called to the bar. and fur• Cher proccediii4s were resumed on this Bill. Several *anew' were called, from whose testi.. army, particularly that of Sarah Bell, the landlady of the White Hart Inn, Winchester; that Mrs. Poitlett took an opportunity, in her lausbund's ab sence, of °Petering the carriage. and going to the White Ilart, where Lord Sackville soon arrived; that his Lordship went up stairs, when Mrs. Bell, baring her suspicion excited, went up to the TOM previously ordered by Mrs. Poulett ; the door was fastened; she knocked, but it was answered she could not come in. She waited near the door, when Mrs. Poulett came out, and &sin d the maid senaitt to give her a towel. which she took back ; Mrs. Bell afterwards arid into the room, where she saw Lord Sucks die; two of the windows were shot, but neitlin she nor the maid observed the bed tumbled, nor any thing ou the doer ; these si as no sopila in the room. Rev. John ShorlantLproved the affection which always subsisted beta CPII Mr. and Mrs. i'milett. The LORD CH NAELLDR .14A ..1 if there were any other witnesses to prove the sidulter Serjeaut Lens observed, he was nut aware of any other evidence. Mr. Burrough contended, the evidence in this ease was quite satisfactory, and was 5141. scut to warrant the verdict of a jury. The LORD CHA /IC Limn addressed a few words t'. the House, and trusted their Lowt.line, would net come to a hasty determination ou the evideure adduced before them, but defer furthe r proceedings • few days longer. Lord A cetera ND expremed himself of the same opinion, and remarked, whatever might he the ease in respect to a Jury, he convoyed the act of adul tery had nut hens proved at t heir Lordship. Bar. The seems(' readnig of the Bill was accordingly postponed :Ma din—Adintrned. HOUSE Or COMMON-It.

Daniel Bailee, a sherilrs officer. who had heeti contartted to Neesgate, by the House, for a breach of privilege, iu arrestiug Sir Cluirles Ilamiltoe, a Member of the llotirr, by mistuke for another gen tleinan,in which arrest lie had persevered after he hail been warned of his error. was brought to the bar of the !louse, and after a severe reprimand from the Speaker for his conduct, was ordered to be dis. charged from custody, first payieg his fees. (VI e learn that Siratarles, in tbe most handsome man ner, facilitated the thud discharge of this mars, by ea, tag the fees of the Surjeuist of the House, which lie lied iucarred by his pereieting in his original error.) Mr. CURREN proposed moving, that there he I laid before. the !louse, anvil monde% of the evidence of the proceedirsgs liefure the Commissioners in the llonkruptcy of Messrs. Nesbitt and Walsh, as re lated to the purchase of a Seat in that House by the latter, but upon request changed his intentiun into • &nice far that purpere to-morrow. Mr. WIIIVESIVAD preseuted a Petition from H. White, Proprietor of The indepeiodent Whig, now confined in Dorchester flan!, for u libel, fur which he was convicted. The Pottier', he stated, was in substunee the same as that he heel before presented to the House; but which he had withdrawn, on ac count of au informality iii it. The Petition was then read ; it was of souse length. and stated cers lain infornialities in the proreedings at law against the Petitioner. and the hardahips he sustained in confinement in .a distant goal ; offering to prove the allegations of the Petition, anti praying relief. Mr. Whitbread thou said, he should contest him self for the present with moving, " That the Peti tion do lie on the Table;" intending to take it fu ture opportunity of bringing the subject into con sideration; declaring however Ise did not hold him self responsible for the allegations contained iu the Petition, knowi n g nothing of them but as there stated. and taking care only before lie presented it to see it was winded in that decent and respect ful style, to eiititle it to the reception of the House. Whea he had before presented this Petition to the House, it hail given rise to some observations from an Honourable Member (Mr. Caleraft), which lie felt himself called upon to notice now. That Gentleman had stated, that the • Prtitiorier bad bees refused permission to exercise in the garden of the gaol, on account of the ill use made of a like indulgence periniaed to a Gentleman now no more (Mr. Gilbert Wakefield), whose literary and other qualifications would endear his memory to this couutry. This obeeervatiou had been pecu liarly hurtful to the feelings of the widow of that gentlemen, and who bad authorised I to st a t e , that dining the leerier' of that geutleinan's C 011.• fitivoleot no. complaint whatever had liven made egainst his conduct. With respect to the com plaint in the Petition of the mode of striking the Jury by whom be was tried, there evas the less necessity of any otaiervution now, as lie tiuderstood there was a process now going forward for the pur pose of inwestigating it in a regular way (by Writ of Error). Another part of the Petition, if true. must be admitted to lie a very serious grievance. and deserving of notice and redrew': he ineatut the power exercised by the Master of the Crown Office in striking a Special Jury, of passing over such names as he tl gilt proper, under the al legation of their not bring likely to attend ; a practice which, if admitted subatantielly, gave the power to the Crown of choomiig jut what Jury it thought woper. There was another practice which if it del not now exist, the cessation of it was certainly of 110 very long suturing, that of al lowiag two guineas a piece to Special Jurors, where they round a verdict for the Crown, and ratty one guiace where tlwy found against it ; this if it coo t sd ought most certainly to be put a stop to. Another evil was deserting of being adverted to on this subject ; lie understood , it so happened that then it Juror was kunwn to give his verdict against the Crown, his moire wits omitted on all future pun nets. It was also said, diet the Crown wits in the habit of pitying (Inutile fees on all law irroceedings curried on in its behalf; this looked very like the exercise of mettle intim:nee. Ile just zursorily glanced at these topics new, as they would become the subject of future consideration ; for the pre seat he shortie, content hinwelf with moving that the petition do lie on the table. Mr. (7 A 1.0 RA rr, who, upon presenting the former petition. had stated stud justified the cominet of the magistrates ofl)ureliester in their behurinornewurds the Petetioner, said that however painful to the feeling+ of any nice, ifiel 'moiling as lie was to hint %twin. lII' 11111 st state, dolt from the best in quiries, he did believe that the late Mr. Weikelielel did alma. the indulgence of the garden, by entire vouriug to creetedisenntents among the prisoners, ohmic cril• had commuisictition with the garrlea, iii crisespientse of which, it was resolved not to grant sandier indulgence to any other prisoners. With i. -1..1 to the Petitioner, lee repeated lie had every indulgence possible, enweistesit with h:s situation. The sending such prisoners there at all, Ise said, rotiodered by the inagistretes as a very great hat (Ishii.. and they had remonstrated against it. Mr. WI NUMAM considered the cemplaints of Mr. White as unreasonable and ill-lottuded upon his own skewing, which 'mounted, lie said, to this, thut a gaol was n gaol, and punishment 'flattish. ment. He thought that, upon his own statemeut, he had snore inilulgeoce than he was entitled to, amid that if there was any Menne, it was to be im puted to the magistrates for granting too much. The AT role% Rlf G UNRRA L corrected souse errors into which, he send, time Honourable Grutlemaii (Mr. XVlettereed) !eel been misled. Ile lutist have been wilfully misinformed, when he was told that two genera, were paid to special jurors who footed fur the Crown, w here mily one was given what they famed the other way. as that practice had long snore been laid wide, and had existed only in the Eschewer, and he was sure a practice so ross and acandalons would nut now be endured. his • eke wanner the asseatiou of leaving out jury:este • who found against the Crown, he believed to he wholly unlimnded, as he was sure there was no judge who would not reprobate it if it came to his knowledge. Alr. WHITBREAD explained. Mr. MARRY ATT said he was frequently sum moned on Special Juries, and though he had given opinions both against the Crown and the charge of the Judge, yet he continued to be summoued as before. grrir Sir FRANCIS BURDETT regretted the Right Ho nourable and Learned Gentleman passed over the topic of the right of the Executive Government of seinliiig prisoners to any part of the dominions ; he bad thought that subject had been long since set at rest, and was sorry to see the practice re vived. He dwelt upon the hardships of sending men two or three hundred miles from their families, when the King's Bench was at hand, and equally competent to the business of confinement, not to mention the additional hardship of the expense in curred by having their families to support at a dis tance from their own homes. Hu was happy the subject was before the House, and had nu duubt but justice would he done. After 4 a few words from Mr. l'aaca' . At. and Sir FR A NCIS BURDETT in explanation, the Petition was ordered to lie on the table. Mr.WHITIREAD then presented a similar Petition from Mr. J. 11. Hart, the Printer of Tile Indepess dew Whig, who had been convicted as such ffir the tonne libels as the Proprietor, Mr. IVhite, and now confined in Gloucester Juil. He stated, that this differed from the former Petition mils , in stat ing and coniplai tt ill g of still greater hardships a nd severities exercised towards him ; and lie could nut conceive upon what principle the punishment iihmild vary where the offence was the 63111 C. The Petition complained of his being &bailed the use of fermented liquors, which might he• necessary fur his health; and also, that all papers wet.: inspected before lie was suffered to receive them. The Petition war then read, and ordered to lie ou the table. ABOLITIbN OF REVERSIONS. _ _ Lord Puacn►srea, pursuant to notice, rose to move for leave to bring in a Bill for the Abolition of Reversions, and in doing so, he said the former Bill. brought in for a similar purpose, grew out of the first report of the Committee of Public Expeu. diture, and was the lest political result of this im portant public investigation. Upon its rejection in a former place no steps were taken by Ministers to prevent that rejection, but they prayed Ilis Majesty to suspend the exercise of this power till six weeks after the commesicemesit of the next Ses sion of Parliament. Lest session another Bill was passed through this House, but again rejected by the Lords. We then thought it expedient to search their Lordships Journals, to find something here to justify the 'masure, against which the coun try called aloud with mu acclaim, and not one dis senteint voice was heard withiu these walls. The solution was discovered by there being found a protest, the contents of winch foramd no consider able rank amongst the follies of Princes. For their Lordships &silent no cause was a►signed, because nom was assignable. I leave it to Cfentlemen to say whether that protest so peculiudy worded, and with such sigunturee as those annexed to it, could be otherwise contemplated than with pain. We did discover, however, with pleasure, that one of the Royal Primes nearest the throne of the nation s lied not affixed his name to that protest. Of the value of this Bill I cannot entertain a doubt that the House remains of the same opinion as be fore. I would refer to the arguments contain ed in the third report of Finance, as being con clusive and irresistible ; but if any thing be wanted in illustration, I em gl el to find here this slit) such au attendance of Ministers, to state their senti ments concerning it ; for I hope they will not re main masters upon such au important subject. A Noble Lord opposite (Lord Castlereagh) is. hope, ready to litruisla those details, whirl' the chronicles of Irelund will suppil% bins ith ; for it was tint to unticot legends, but to the history of deer periods, he need have recourse; for he should look no further back than to his own vdmi nistration iii Ireland. I hope he will fornith us with those long details of offices granted fur a long period in .reversi ))))) a Ilia he revived, altlitne A ti many ages had suffered them to lie forgotts ti, and buried as all attoiseineut for what hail paw ed. lo addition to that, he may also say. eh) , these extraorditiary grants are multiplied.— It is a measure of the first political importance, as it connects itself with the whale system of fru:- porA and economical reform. That report had laid long upon your Table without ant• attention being paid to it during the present Aduainistrution, fur they hu►e bbeWll every disposition to chill and freeze up that spirit of temporary reform, which their predeessaors had put in monies. I under stand that there will be an objection nestle to this measure in point of time, but I coufess that is AO objection that I cannot approve of, for the least prorrintination would be unwarrautable, when we have a great public duty remaining undischarged. It 11 a measure which rest, not upon such narrow grosiiiils us that of convenience, for we mast make buses convenient when we have such imprt.iist duties to discharge ; and therefore I h o ps .we are now assembled to re-consider this measure with the same spirit that we entertained last session. What were the feelings of the. House when tins Protest was put upon your table ? I do not ex. s,v4rnite, when I say it was bordering upon in dignation. There was upon that occasion eiidence of our old English obstinacy, for without that in oar ',stores we are not the genuine Represents'. tires of the people. The tone which we adopted was tinnily, and I trust that such a cause will al ways create such manly emotions. How mines it, then, that our hopes have beets so long disap pointed ? I out only contend, that this is not :u► issconvenieut time, but the most comenient time for the pulmw. In this stormy teasel' every to- morrow will bring with it its griefs, its rates, and its duties,which we can neither post aside nor postpone. When we look to the events that are hatching in the womb of fate, that at the ripe ' g of the next session of parliament, we will not have gist and important matters for rousideration, wide!' will lint it out of OW' power- to disco** and paps slid; a measure a► this within the space of the six week*, at the end of which the present taispelleion ex pires. Suppose we mesa to scud this bill, during this session, to the house of Lords, and that I they puss it Without amendments, which sissy produce further discussion and delay, and they ultimately reject the bill, yet still we may have ma opportunity of adopting some tempo rary measure.—Lhinlig last session, it inav be re. membered, that there is ere j list eighteen Cecile spe n t in the discussiou of it, alisfil so, was nut that no an. gutuent fur not delaying it beyond the present sews stun ? when, after that, there would only bestir weeks allotted for the discussion of it, previous to the Sus.. pension Bill having expired. The Clergy Resident- Bill was preceded by a Bill of Suspension, and was sent to the Lords and returned with antstalinents, some of which I felt inclined to diteuss in the (om mittee ; hut 1 was surprised to find that the Hone had met upon a Saturday, and had gone through the Committee ; and it must have passed upon the Monday, otherwise tile Suspension Bill would ho e expired. I this foinid it insist prudent to forego that lest opportunity of stating me objections h , • the Amendments that had been made ruttier tiro, incur the danger of the Suspension Bill V% Why, then, should we incur a similisr .; . present instance? Princes have fi OWn6ll 111101; I. . undertaking ; and when they frown, subj ec t, . too apt to tremble. it we are to do our duty, ws : should do it with a due regard to our own lulls., ante and dignity. Ist ere those grease bulwarks of oar liberties, Magna Chatia and the Bill of Rights, obtained by our uncestors, by our dancing attendance till those who °mined us were likely to inieveed I Was it not by a speedy istrseverauce in that plan that we obtained surety*? And will it slat be by cluing e. our ancestors did that we shall obtain what we are now contending for? The anxiety of the House has never been fully gratified in hearing the sentiments of Ministers upon this estbjecr, although it ton been before the House I more than once, bet I hope we elsnl now hear them explain themselves fully upois this necation.— Let them costae dowu into the plain, and rap pie with me, and weak as my arms are. I wil esestend with them until I gain the battle.— Let them give us that cordial support a bids -Is so necessary to prove to the other House that we are determined to persevere in this. measure, and that it is needless for them to oppose it. I hope we 41101 hear of no advice being given through err. tails Noble Lords, as to the propriety of our proceed lugs. If Ministers here will give hints to these Noble Friends, let them now give them hints of advice that it would be most wire in them to aequivice its this, and let them advise PrllleVl uot to interfere with our proceedings. IVe kuow tint when Princes have occasion to write a letter to this House, they will find not the most discreet, but most reedy ad visers. Can we ant recommend to these advisers to give advice, although it is to assume the less palat able form of retisqnstrunee ? Is there no friendly monitor, by which we cast make theist feel what we err, and what these Nobles are themselves? Ara not the wealth and splendour of these Prinees the spontaneous gift of our liberality ? The Slate Build ing is only strong and i•tately in proportion as it is firm, and the strength of the enlmen is in its shaft. Is there no warning voice to uilvise them that in these days of peril, it is wiser for Priiiees to seek popularity than to despise our recommendistioes, and yepel them with weapons which wilt oak recoil with redoubled force against themselves? Cs there no one to speak to them even the bloomy of truth ? If these Ministers be the Ministers of the people, they will do as I now recommend to them ; but if they. I e the mere chaff of the .11;y, they rosy guide the helm for a time, but the) well never quell the storm. Will they do so, cr a ill they only shelter those abom they mount scree,' ? The times were severe und scrutittiziisg, and Mi nisters do not et present squad too high in the I eimeeive this to be a question of churn, ter w here in the House must aec nit itself with manliness and , • penieveratice. I nate not adverted touch to the in trinsic merits of the Bill, because I think few ob•e jections can he taken to it. The offices in siltation are of necessity sinecures, and aguiust every sinecute there is *prima facie rare ulreurly made out for its abolition. If we allow matters to reaulain as they are, then those offices are confirmed in the power nf the. Ministers, and where will you find* minister thst aill come down to this /louse, and date that an Offile should be abolished? I hope se shall not hear in this 51'41.11111 il% we did toriuerly, any proposition for carry tog this twitter only substantively into ettevt ; namely, that they will permit the grauts to expo, but will register the acts of the pre prerogative. flow uldurd would this specimen of i.lentity be ? Suffer a mernber to sit, and compel him to print his speeches.—Those alio have not heard this matter corium ly diircuseed here, may think I am rinsing a phantom ; but such a phantom his actually already oppeared, to appal eves pa triot. into a compromise. Why not give the Crown the chum* of exercisiog Allis discretion well ? flow can they he so applied when you err giving reversinits to children, or to grown up per sons, who are most unworthy of national bounty. They may be persona that are of jects of cell sure, and blameable io every point of view, whilst those who ire more entitled to yonr bounty are not rewarded. Who COM My that they have the full enjoyment of the national bene ficence, when we, as trite of the Illoti.es of Parlia ment, are not parties to the act ? Thr munner in which di office is bedowerl, is offer, 4 -enter Orel the act itself. The princi l des of socti and reourifs, should be such as to render them lion g nionurucuts of tuitional gratitude. What is the Crown lint a ieverriouary interest?• and yet we 'Away!, do skit every parent would do to his non otripring. I have often heard it said, that our in- , quie.ttorial powers hive too long slept, and that thereby we have 4iiiik in our ?rational consequence, hot I think that the people htwe yet confidence its us, and that that gym eon •if conliiience has grown out of the constitution.—The days Of our ancestors, were days of struggle arid of difficulties. here was thou a keennese of pursuit, but now there is a (Airliness of purees atop. These are the best times of the Coustitutina ; but if Princes will interfere with our twofers:nig.. that will beget jealousies on our part. I rut afraid that the page of history will, in future, skew thut we, as the scholars of our au ceators, .are inert. and that tits• folly of Prior's and the weakness of Adinioters will furnish a title in every chapter.
