The argomeros of the Honourable Baronet had been, lie regretted to say, all drawn from nut spring, which be dill 81.8 r think the purest or cur t on this subject. They were Wit dawn from Statute*, not from the opinions o f eminent Jodges, but from what he considered • much inferior sourer of authority, if such it might be called—namely, from the speeches of Engle!) AlollllfAet, from the time of that most constitutional King, James I. to the present period. That throe Nbinarelis should have expressed the in melees in liberal terms to their luring sithjeets nu all throe occasion' quoted, was natural enough ; they Away* came to Usk for money of their loving subject., and putted their language to their wants. Slut all thut bud so fallen tom these Rot ill per sonages made nothing as to the question of amino )1 Purliameiits and universal suffiage. For der one made by the 11,8 m.

In this list of liberal seutimelits of oiling:, lie was sorry the Hors. Baronet had not included that best sod must patriotic tooorance put into the mouth of our prevent Sovereign by the great Lord Chatham on his Majesty's accrosiurs, " That it wits his proudest boost, as it was his highest privilege, to be considered the lirot citiz-si of free people." He did not quote this as disking any th;ng in favour of the present proposition for yearly Parliaments or universal suffeage. Such spercheo, in. deed, had little or no authority in them, they were avowedly the work of the Nlinister of the day. He denied that eider one or the other of the poirsta 110* contended fur were the aticient Constitution of this country. But admitting it hod been so— still it might be the most impolitic thing in the world to relive on old system, not at all, perhaps, adapted to the times ae now live its.— It would, fur instance, be absurd in him to pro pose a re turn to the savage state, or golden age, though both. were of sufficient antiquity—r 4 lough —or to a state of domestic slavery awl villenage, which had been undoubtedly onw the law or con s'ituticm of this country.

This was followed by a discussion on the pro priety of suspending the Orders of the Muse, fur the purpose of permitting the Alien Bill to pass through two stages iii one ►itting.

We are not informed whether the propo sals Isere been made by French or foreign capital ists—but the amount subscribed in so short a Inn?, would lead us to believe, that a very small portion of the loan, if any, will be supplied f this country. If this be the cave, it is evident that the apprehensions entertained by our Ministers have been unfounded, and that they have most unnecessarily subjected this country to all the inconvenience and iajory of having an exclusive paper circulation for another year. The Session is not yet closed, an that the error might still be repaired, and the indulgence now granted to the Bank of Eisfeassa, of not paging their debts, be reduced from twelve to three or six months.

It stated, that SI Dill had hero brought into Parliameot as the only means of re. lief to the concern, to which Bill the Committee waited fir the sanction of the meeting of the Proprietors—their sanc tion to which am immediately necessary ia eons, quente of the s•ery abort time the present Parliament had to sit; that it CT. the opinion of the General Committee that no Real had been wanting on the part of the Sub-Committee, to whose conduct, and to the liberality of Mr. Moore. the NO' prietors were greatly indebted.

The Report of the Stub. Committee, to which the above Report alluded, was that rend. It was a truly lamentable one ; the items it is untie. criers. to state.

H. Rotitxx rose. Mem be recollected what had been said every year that nothing could preveui the success of the concern. and when be heard the present statement, he felt completely astounded. Bad as he thought the business was, he had iso conceptiou that it was quite so bad as it had herr just represented. He thought it isecessaay to have a Committee of the Proprietors to try, in this dreadful ex tremity to save the property from rain. With respect to the Bill in Piss 'lament, he begged to know by whom that Bill had been sanctioned? The CIIAIRMA r replied, by the General Committee. Mr Homes %ilia that, hot a month since, a very different sort of Meeting bad taken place; he could not hut condemn thcige also bad the control of the theatrical concerns, for not having 'emit the Proprietors an insight into the terrible state of the finances of the Theatre, lle hail suggested that ■ little more information might be given to the Proprietors, fur report had said that their effigies were very bail, hitt that report was tuercdal, for it had nut described them half so bail as they actually were. He had hoped that they would nut be reduced to such a state as to be convent(' to go to the Noose of Commons, and comply wills terms to which none het maniacs could azree. The Cttartneas said, the Bill bad already palmed but two stages—if the body of Proprietors were against it, it should be withdrawn. Mr. ULU said, that many of the clauses In the Bill bird been objected to by the General Committee, hot in the Com. tnittee on the Bill amendments might be proposed which would remove eves y objection. Mr Iluntms observed. that there was a elsnae in the Bill to make holders of 1001. shares liable to be called upon to pay sums of money. Its common decency this should have been meutioned at the last Meeting. and the Proprietors should have been put in possession of the ►eal state of their property, before 'kings had COMP to such an extremity. The CIIAMIAN said, that at Potter the receipts of the noose had been much greater tbeo they had been fur some time previously; the tarn:tact drawn was, that they would bat- continued so.
