The Von. Gentleman -would prefer, it seemed, these foreign troops to India; but they r e „nlye n listed dnring the war; and if peace should ?eedily arrive, the idea would not be quite so i eit ing, that, after the expence of sendinl them t to lndia, they might almost immediately insist bein g dismissed and sent haw again ; a circum ince which must he detrimental to our army in ni i,. H e hoped, th;•reibre, that as this was only a eantre of providinz for a certain number of brave 4 . 1 who were suljeas of the same Sovereign, who heln forced to leave their own country, and . 1.1 of 4:VC desirous to tight in defence of this against I . aliocion4 tyranny which overspre.:d theirs ; he the thrn. Gentleman would withdraw his :tad that the Bill might proceed in its :urse. Mr. HUTCHINSON said, that if there was any I l i i 1114 of which Parliament ought to feel more pe c,,ii,,tly jealous than of another, it ought to be that t.! the employment of foreign troops for the defence the country. He was sorry to see this was mote ! more getting into fashion every day. He had # , ~, - ;cetion to foreign troops, when necessary to he II:•• alooad, but fot the purpose of being employed riAL home, for the sake of defending us at a mo rtna, when, if we were not both willing and able to 41, tznd ou r selves , we ought not to be defended; he ~; h ly disapproved it, and should oppose the Bill, :, , r the honour as well as safety of the country. . . _ The House then went into the Committee, the amendments were read and agrced to, and the report ordered to be received to-mnrrnw. _ A Message from the Lords informed the House that their Lordships had agreed to the Irish Linen Bill, the Denmark Coinageßill, and the Scotch Ad siiiional Force Bill, %% iiliout any amendments. The Order of the :lay was read for the House to resolve itself into di Committee on the Free Port A a. Mr. ROSE moved, that it be an instralion to the Committee to consider of permitting the import and expo.' of goods and merchandises to and tr-ri the port of Scarbro' in Jamaica. The House then went into the Committee, and the report was order ed to be received to-morrow. Mr. COItRY moved, that there be laid before the kiouse, by the Accountant General in Ireland. an abstradt for the week ending the sth January, 1604. Also for copies of several letters sent from the Commissioners of the Treasury in Ireland tc ta.• Commissioners of Customs aad Excise in it,a; ; aho an account of certain payments made by the Exchequer of Ireland in 1801-2 ; also an abstrad of the public funded deb: of Ireland, from tire time of the Union to the .sth January 1804, which were se verally ordered. LONDON CLERGY BILL, Sr COX HIPPESLEN brought up the report of the London Clergy BM. On the qucttion that it be read. Mr. Alslesman COMM: expressed a wish that it should be postpooed for some time, that the inte rests of many pers - vs concerned might be 'Acre ac curately investigated. He therefore moved that it be read tt s day three moths. . Sir J. ANDEfISON supported the amendment, and said, the parties alluded to had no objeCtion to the 'measure itself, but only wished for a little time, and would then agree to it on the most liberal terms. N'r. Serious* BEST said, be tookLaoi amain to this proceeding. The Bill had been brought for • ward soon alter the Christmas recess. All possible consideration had been given to the claims of ever y one concerned. Nothing had been done but by agreements between the Committee and the Represen tatives of the City of London; and, after these Ceii tletnen had_ been put to the expence d' bringing forward the Bill, in order to add this trifling moch cum to the present stipe3ds, he thought it would be extremely hard to postpone it now. The ATTORNEY GENERAL said a few words to the same cffat ; after which the report was re ceived. A person from the Treasury of Ireland brought • up •e"eral accounts pursuant to the order of the house. Ordered to lie on the table, and to be printed. RETORT ON THE CIVIL LIST. Mr. ALEXANDER brought up the report of the Committee of Suprly relative to the Civil List. On the question for the second reading of the Reso lutions ; Mr. jOHNSTONE rose to oppose it. He said, the public were, in his opinion, highly indebted to the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Addington) for having hid the papers before the House, relative to this :lilies There were many parts of these accounts ' which he could not at all approve, but as to some of them, the House was in such a dilemma that they eonld not refuse their assent. It seemed the Judges of the Land and Foreign Ministers were in arrear, and though he could not refuse his assent to such things being provided for, the House, he thought, should take some precautionary measure that such an application might not occur again. He could b) no means agree, he said, in the inferences drawn from the arguments used with respell to the hereditary revenues which were always brought forward to in sinuate dust the public was only paying a debt, when it WAS called on for such large sums. On the con ; f; y, he thought His Majesty had been fully corn ) e•t‘ated for the hereditary revenues. With rr sped fo the ankle of pensions, he should have no arjec 'ion to the 82,0001. a-year. it that was all ; bat there were others, which amount to .200,0001. and that he thought was fully sofficient for pensions given a. el ivate remunerations; all the great public pen :, e, being provided out of the consolidated fund. I siliseseed. that in class 7, there had been a saving r.; mi , olt. and, in another part. there was another s iv;ng f I'o,oool. which, he thought, with due seconorl :be Right Honourable Gentleman, pos e•ssed of such talents as his were, might have made to answer any of the pre-ont exigencies, without C:l7ning to parliameut for this very extraordinary a.i !liion to the Civil List revenue. He agreed, lie • 1, to she necessity of a much more antpie provi ' fr.: the iii;rlornatie corrs. 1-k thought they s el.; be tals, n out of the civil list, and put to the ,- sulidatexl fund. It WAS eer ainly of the very tr,t importance that the country dinuld enjoy the Rtt.tt benerit of having mea of high charAaer and taler.ts as public fuleftionaries at foreign coni!s; and that we should not, a. he was afraid had tor' •ff?rt b.- :the case, see.l m-is to represent liis Ma'esty because thy cannot well live at h. me. th ::ght th. it v..e► wraug to bring Lim:lrd a measure of this marittnl: ant importance, in so very advanced a period of the Sessions, and of the year. It ought not to be pressed further at present, but postponed till nex t Sessions, then the House shauld carefully turn their attention to some efflbau.il mode of preventing any such enormous accumulation in future. He could not see why some arrangements with regard to the Civil List, should not be made on a similar plat to that adopted for managing the afairs of the Prince of Wales. That was done in oi der to prevent arrears from :leaning, and he be lieved it had answered the ends proposed, and some thing of the kind might be applied to the Civil List. Mr. ROSE said, that if this matter was only just now brought before the House, the objeCtions of the Hon. Gernlentan, as to the advanced period of the year, mi have some w;•ig!it ; but he begged the Hon. Gentleman and the House to tecollee that it had already been submitted ton Committee, and that the papers relative to it, had been on the table three or four months. Mr. CA LC RAF!' said, the fait was shortly thi., that the House is going now to add 60,0001 a year to the Civil list, more than what was fixed as the expenditure eighteen years ago. 1% hen it was re colleCted how great a change,had taken rime in the circumstances of the times, :Ind in the price of every necessary of life, this addition appear-d to :tint to be necessary, otherwise debts must accumulate, and the applications for similar aids must be continually repeated. Mr. W. SMITH said a few words to the same purport. Mr. ADDINGTON said, the lion. Gentleman (Mr. Johnstone) had complained of want of notice he begged the House to recodee, that he gave no tice of his intention to bring the business fora ard on the 7th of May, and the circumstance whit.h pre vented it were too well kry:wii for him to trouble the House with them at tit it 1(.• neat. rn. EXCHEQUER said, it was : itogether ualiec .ur tura to she's that it was insposubh, for him to bring this measure fursv ud soiner Tha: must tr-• obvious to every une. tie should, b.;wever, have b?en highly itiex cos•able is he ha ! rot brought it forwi.rd euriug the prest t ias6l.-,1 that, notv.itirta-.d. P_ i been said with regard to the rim, nuthing r ought to be rzlosidered as an addi tion to the Civil L.st, but tile 60;401. The resolutions were then re-ad .:nd agreed to, at,d Bills e•rdered to be brought in 11 , Te.m. It w as orderc that tt be an inbtruetion to the Gentlemen appointed to bring i:i die Bill, on the st•cmid resolution, to provide for laying an account the Civil Litt before Parliament. STAMP DU 'IE The report on the Stamp Duties was brought up and agreed to, and a Bill ordered to be brought in on the same. CiIANCF.I.LOR of the F.XCITEQIJF.R said, he should produce a scheJule which would contain all the different article; necessary to he stampNl, which would ne printed, so that Gentle men snift,l:t have it iu their hands before the Bill went to a Connhtee. were put and agreed to, after which the Chairman reported pros and asked le:tve to sit to-morrow. On the I - lonie goir.7 into A Committee pro forma on the Irisb Ad lit ion;1 Force Bill; lifter a fcw observations from Sir JOlOl New. PORT, which wore answered by Mr. Fosrea, the Rq:ort was rc:.•ived, and ordered to be taken into fa , ther consid,sation on Thursday next; and the Bill printed with the amendinelits. Ladv Kilwarden's Annuity Bill was ordered to becommittedv•in,Jrrow. The other ciders of the day were postponed; and he House adjourned At Ten o'clock. TH.

CORN TR Anr., Mr. WESTERN tn wed the order of the day, for taki-e; into further consideration report on the Coi 'f ra.'e ; which bei.'g read, he moved that the said report t.e t iv - war:acted. Mr. PA iTt.SONI desired to know if it was to be rnommired a Committee above stairs Mr. WES i•E.RN s,'l, he meant it to be recom mitted siire,,ly to a Committee of the whole House. Mr. JEiVERY (Po: I - 4 said, he believed every day would htirg forth fresh obje.iions ; and that after all the country wilt be highly dissatisfied. He w.ts no way de,irett, the price should be kept so low as at pnesent ; but would have the House take care how they make prices too high. If they would bring the prices t., 5G or stis. he would have no ob jelion. Mr. FOSTF.II said every argument just urged by the Hon. Gentleman would apply in a committee, and no whero sn well. Mr. MORRIS said, that as he could not bring himself to agree with the Committee on the subject of this PAIL he hoped he should be indulged with a few observations before the Speaker should leave the Chair. his ohjeetion principally went to mak ing any alteration whatever in the prices tired in 1791. If this cbleftion had been founded on any more abstritet theori:s, he should have his douhts as to the propriety of it ; but hc had the authority of the Committee itself a;;•ainst the mearoirtt. Ile was convinced. he sA id, that the Corn Trade requires no other encouragement from Parliamm , t ran the prote:tion of the laws to the capital cf it:o:4 con. cerned in it. If, under that table of exports and imports, there has been a fair price to the farmer, it would be wrong to alter it, and, therefore, he found himself obliged to oppose the present measure. Mr. H. LASCELLES thought the corn prices should harp seen regulated according to the va riations of money at different periods. The Iktise thou went into a Committer of the whole House, %Ir. H. I. asim.t.Es in the Chair: Mr. PATTESON, in adverting to the prices, as fixed by the Report, ob.crveJ, that the Irish Gsntlemen mast, of colrse, wish this Bill to pass, because Ireland will be able to send wheat to Eng land at 4Si. ..vhen it cannot b! sent by foreign coun tries at less di in Os. which :s an advantage of I ss. a quarter, Anti of ts. tJ. b• sides, if they send their ts neat thtotigh us to foreign countries. Mr. FOS I'Elt said, the advantage of Ireland sendi. cr•rn to this country, and this country to Ireland. would he equal, by making them apply to each other in preference to sending their money to In: eiga counties. Su far the Hod. Gentleman was right in his observation as to behind. He must, however, think the Irish a strange kind of beings indeed, to suppose, that when they world have a t • export directly to (;.reign markets, they sat tuld be so much in love with the half crown advantage, hr spoke of, as to ship their corn to England, to have it unloaded, and s-r.t Cirou , ll the c , unity, in order to alt p it again f.r a t port. He nat h however, very glad to Al kno , ledge that the preset:: Lill wou4l te.id very much t. the ativant:ige of Ireland, and he }roved that evciy Member of the House would equally rsjoice with himseli; in applying Parliamenisty provisions, that should equally benefit every pet of the ioti.ed Empire. - Se% era] amendmerts were then prnposcd by Mr. I'o►Tl:a, Mr. LL and Mr. liAlsKa, THE BRITISH PREss. IVEDNESIAY, JULY 4. We yesterday received Paris Papers to the t' Sth r the contents of which will be found in the lag page . The speech of "lints POLIONAC, befor e the Tri. bunal, will be read with interest. The Mot:dear betrays a mist suspicious anxiety to contradia the report circulated in London, that Mr. LIVING. .TON was charged with a proposition by the French Government upon his late visit to this country. We have also received Dutch Papers to the t?tith. One of than states that the proposition of BONA, ANTE to garrison three of the principal sea port; of the kingdom of Naples with French troops ha, been acceded to. This lias been long a favourite <Lica of French artifice and intrigue. If the intel ligence be correa, the utter ruin of Naples is at no great distance. The second reading of the Slave Trade Abolition JIM w•as yes!era'ay deferred, in the House of Lords, to that d•y three months, upon the motion of Lord a AWRLSBURY.
