HOUSE OF LORDS-1 , 111,0AT, June 28. ROOS PEERAGE. Pursuant to the Order rd' the Day, their Lordship. retolved into a Committee of Privileges, and Lord Walicsighain having taken the Chair— Mr SOLICITOR GENER kL was heard at considerable length, in tupp.rt of the evidence adduced by the D.ilce of Rutland, and on behalf of his title to the above B. oac, to wards his conelu.ion. lie still he el he had male not to the sa.isfaction of their Lordship, all those proprnitions that proved the N-oriel)ukc to be entitled to the Btnnty ; that he had always held the Barony by tenure, tieing poshessed of the territory by which it was constituted ; th.d a Barony, in held, could not descend to the heirs general, except actrompanied by the testators ; and that he held it impossible that the Noble 'Petitioner (Lily /leers Fitz;;etsld) eould support her claim. The Cheirmiii was then oilfired to leave the Chair. The farther consideration of the case Wall postponed, and the House resumed. The !tills up .n tile table were forwarder) in their avverit stages, and two or thr.a %IL brought up room the Commons, were road a brat tone. A Petition rat resented from certaie petiont, whose names were t7ieraunto z.ab.cribed. by Lord WidsingOard, Bill, now pending before their Lordships, for enflaming the suspensviii of prosecutions until the first day of Match next, of certiiti pericusi engaged r. the Wool . ..tit :Manufacture, &c praying that the sa.nc may rind oow into a Law and for leave to be heard by Counse'. erg ling the same.

Some AlTletbi'll•M% were proptwed by the Earl of RADNOR, the principal one of which was in the preamble of the fill, and ativerted to the Acts, with reference to which the Howe had proceeded its the cue. Tn tint nu obiectinii seemed to be urged% but the Noble Earl liay..ig, m th,t fir,t inctance, in 1112 their Lo•d-hips o The House of Peers," the phrase wet oh je,ted to, as not the most proper, particularly by Earl STAN. HOPE, who said they were not a blouse of Peers, but a House of Lorde-•-because, for instance, the Bishops were not Peer., but Lord: of Pvliattient. Lord IIAWRESIIIIRY had ne particular objection to the phr.re, but thought the appellation owed frequently uo shou:d be adopted. This he -anceived to be House of Lords," aria sueh wording he hut used in the first instance. The LORD CHANCELLOR thought, upon the whole, the term House of L 1(16 to be preferable s In a legislative sense, the House collectively, was always termed, The L ads Spiritual and Temporal." The alteration in the Earl of RADNOR'S first Amend meet was acccedingly mule. and Or: WO, alter receiving sonie further Amendments, was agreed t e by the Committee, and ordered to be reported to-morrow. The LORD CHANCELLOR having pmpiwed the re,em mitcnent of the Stipendiary Curates' Rill, their Lordships ac• cordingly resolved into a Commiuce •u the same. Some further alterations and aineiscloirmss were made, prin cipally on the sup•Se.ti•rn of the LOR D CHANCELLOR, and in the c 'uric of some discussion on the different points between his Lordship and the Bishop of St. Asaph ; atter which the House rmunsed, and the Report was ordered to be received to-morrow. Front mine oh-ervationt which were interchanged previous ly to the rscoininitment hetweno the Noble Lord uit the wool sack, and one or two of Coe Lay Peers, it appeared to be under stood that the third reading of the Rill will be proposed on Monday. . TRUST MOSIE.S. Earl STANHOPF. called the attention of their Lordships to a topic, which, he conceived, strongly called for some legislative interposition. He allud ed to the circumstance of monies being vested on trust to a considerable amount, with respect to which, in consequence of trustees becoming bank rupt, or otherwise failing in their circumstances, in jurious effects might arise. To prevent these was the objet of the bill he should propose, and which, in his own opinion, and in those of many Peers, he had consulted on the stihjea, was very desirable.— The bill was very shirt ; its leading provision was, to enable the parties interested to petition the Lord High Chancellor for the time being, who was au thorised by the bill to give the necessary relief. He then presented his bill, which was intituled, , 4 An At for the better securing of trust monies." The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that though a hill may be very short, a great deal might be done by it. With respea to the legislative mea sure proposed by the Noble Earl, he did not (Meet to its principle, but imagined it may requite some amendments in its phraseology. The bill was then read a hist time, and ordered to be printed. The remaining Orders of the Day were then dis posed of, and some private business transaace. +airs which the House adjourned till tomorrow. lIOUS.F. OF CO N MONS.

Mr. PATTESON resisted this, and thought any delay whatsoever would he improper. Mr. RUSE declared he did not wish ally 4-layers take place. The House then proceeded, and Mr. Maraiseweli's motion was agreed to Lord AltaillsALD HAMILTON broneht up a Clause, r i mhp,,,auaig mpg Lep u rezpo r s of Cont, when the price should exceed a certain ma, which was read and agreed ko.

The sever ii Amendments were then read, the all ordered to be engrossed, and to be read a third time on Monday. Upon the M ition of Mr. SHERD) 1N for going into a Conimitte- upon the Isle of Man Bill, a conversation ensued between Mr KIRWAN, Mr. FERGUSSON, arid Mr. CRAFT,CAL wren a divimin took place, and there apinerel, Fur going lido the Committee, 53—Against it, 22—Ma jority for going into Committee, 2s.

Mr. FOX preseuted a Petition from Todd Jones, Esq. who isat present codfinecl in the Gall of Cork, in Iceland, com plaining of Ilse harder:o which he labours under, the very !evens 1712.10 Cf he has been trcatc4,,tc. mid pra)ing rams, an gene. al terms. Mr. FOX then said, he hail no doubt, from what he had heard upon upon the subject, that the facts stated in the Petition were true ;—suiil it was evident, (rota this llentleman's car, that no character, belt ever so remarkable for mildness ai.d humanity, could be protected from the effects of the Suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act in that country. At the Petitioner was in a distant part of Ireland, and the lateness of the Sessein, he found that many difficulties might arise; he therefor., thought it would be vain to make any spe cific M itlo❑ on the subject at present, and he resold therefore. in the mean tune, content himseif with moving, that the Pe tition should lie on the Tahle. At the same time, he strongly re••nmmeuded it to Hit Nlajesty's Ministers, and to the Lord I.ieutiniant of Ireland, to make some enquiries into the sue. pensioa of this Act, and the o-cutreices resulting therefrom. It was a matter which threatened immediate danger to tl-e Stale, and well worthy their serious cousirteratinn; and tie hoped tne result would he general redress. The injury sus tained by this Petitioues in his health, he believed to be much worse than he had stated in his Petition; ■nd whatever crime he might lave heen guilty ef, he lutist assuredly had been suf. ficiently pu•iithed. Mr SHERIDAN observed, that front the eireemitanees which had come within his knowledge, this was a rose of the greatest oporession, anti he heartily joined with his H•mmt able Friend (Mr. Fox) in recommending the wiet.ject to the cos sideratires of flit Majesty's Ministers Mr. vAxstrrmur said he WAS bOUIWI in assert what lie firmly believed, that upon investigation it ,would be Mond, that the losliGovetanient would stand aripitti.-il of all harshness and injustice. The Petition was then ordered to lie on the Table. Mr. PAUL moved, that - there be laid before th • House a Copy of the Minute, appointing Major John Milford to t►e otfi.:. of Private Secretary to the assentor-Omuta', in the room of Mr. Ilesry Wellesley, who was appointed 6 - irritant of the ceded provinces; also of the a;mointment of Captain Shaw, in room of Major Mario also an Account of al the Sums paid as stir Salary, or fur the Establishment of Mc Henry Welles ley, while Uovernoe of the ceded provinces; also an Account ef the several Officers, Civil and Military, upon that Establish ment, Secret Service Money, &c. Mr. WELLESI.EY POOLE said, that during th• whole of Mr. Ilehry Wellealey's Mission, he never drew isle farthing fur Secret Service, nor did he ever directly, or mdirectly, re. oeive aoy public Money. The A.•counts were then ordered. Lord CAS I'LEitEAGH moved, that there he laid before the House a Copy of a Letter frum the Secret Committee of the Court of Dieectors of limgal, of the lath of Novemlier, 1801. Ordered. _ _ _ Mr. FRANCIS moved for an Arc iunt of the Dates of the Latest Dwpatches from Rental, in the Po.itical and General Departnaerit, and eeveral fatter Papers, which were ordered Ile then said, that it was essentially necestsary that a corre• spondence should be re.:ularly kept up between this country and India. The Noble Lord (C.istleresith) had said the other slight, that no direct communication had been teceited upon this subject, and that the dispatches had been taken by the French; he was satisfied some nesh e reince most hare taken place in the transnaision of these despatches, and he considered this a smatter well worth enquiry. A considerable sum had been expended by the G iverrinient of that country, nearly double that of the (inner year, stud tins may be the reason the Government of that Country did not wish to send home Ow., accounts Wheat he moved fur papers, he was answere I that he shuidd have the papers se far as Wa•cuasestmit with the pun lie service And safety ; those dispatches, however, wn.ch he al luded to, came user the other day in the llisisueer, th_nw could not te.o, ta, any very great teeret of the matter.

In a Conimistae of Supply it was agreed, atter short con versation Between Mr. FRANCIS, woo 0./VV ed it, an t Lord CASTLERF.AGH., that 1,000.0001. should be pall . 1 the East lirdm Company on avcou.it of the 4,000,0001. due to them by the public. h was ale • agreed that 20,0001. should be granted to His Majesty, hr the puraoie of purchasing grounds for building a Naval Asyhtm. 10,0001. was granted far works done lir the Kilfs kt.mcit Prison; and several other mu ne were ranted far bitseeraneout services, and the report was ordered to be received to-morrow. SMUGGLING BILL. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the - EXCHEQUER, the adjourned debate on the third reading of the Smug,7,!:ug Bill was resumed. ea Mr. GREY said, that Counsel had been heard at considerable length against this Bill, and that they had produced a number of chatters, by wliich the island of Guernsey was allowed to legislate for it self—he therefore thought it necessary that mat .Irs should be examined into, before the hill would be come a law. He allowed that it could not be dis puted, that smuggling was a very great evil ; but then it was carried on from many other parts be sides Guernsey and Jersey, so that, even thong„ this bill was passed, the smuggling trade would be as extensive as it Was before, and these people would be dissatisfied and discontented, conceiving that their rights had been encroached upon. Mr. S. BOURNE though: .t a duty imposed on the House to protect the hune.t and industrious trader, in every manner they poesiOly could. This. he conceived, was in no way mere likely to be done, than be putting an end to the trade of the contra band dealer. He did not conceive the inhabitants of those islands, who were not absolutely smug glers, could have any cause to complain of this bill, as it would not interfere with their lawful trade ; on thesl grounds the bill should have his decided support. Mr. WINDHAM said, that from the arguments of Counsel, it certainly was a doubtful question, whether this country had a right to legislate for Guernsey eel Jersey, or net ; he therefore thus:girt it was enJ.t important, that an investigation should take place. 'Etc e were also many reasons could be urged, which placed the bill in a very questionable ipotnt of view : one of which was, that it WAS to last only during the war. He hoped, therefoie, foe these reasons, that the measure would be well con sidered. Dr. LAWRENCE declared his intention of op. posing the bill —as, during , he war, several .vessels would be brought in, and, indeed, he was sere to say, that it had already happened, that vessels w :TO brought in by our cruisers, and condemned in the Supreme Court of Admiralty, for want of being able to produce sufficient proof, that they were neutral, though per haps, in fad, they were so.— Taking this into consideration, he thought it alluld be well weighed, before they would run the cs:tucet of rousing the indignation of maritime nations, br passing a bal. whin would, at ail events; make - 1' • very probable, that some of their slips would be taken and condemned, because found within a cer tain distance of our coast. He then made some observation on the Law of Nations, Weikh lie said allowed a jurisdiction for three miles ra t ted the coast ; and, on the right which this country had asserted, with tweet to the narrow seas, which, he said. hid afterwards been given up. It ought to be considered also, that a country, even though a barren rock, should not be considered in any other less favourable point of view, than the mother country ; and that there should be no such thing as internal and external legislation. The inhahitants of these islands were, above all others, useful in her rassing the people with whom we were at war, and with whom we were likely always to be at war— and if they e:ere driven, by harsh measures, to be friendly to those with whom they are now enemies. it might be a greeter disadvantage to us, than the bill would be, if its provisions were carried into ef lea. He then observed en the hardships of the bill. which enacted, that if any vessel was found within two leagues of the coast, she will be seised and condemned, unless she voluntarily comes into port, and proves she is not concerned in any contra band trade, If, therefore, by contrary wind, or• any other casualty, a ve,sel is driven within two leagues of the shore, she must come into port. at a considerable lass, in order to avoid the still greater loss of the ship and cargo being liable to be con demned under this all. From these arguments. which occurred to him, he thought they sh sold pease, and have the matter submitted to the con sideration of the House. The ATTORNEY GENERAL said, the Bill had been on the Table for a considerable time ; he did not therefore think that any further time was necessary for taking the matter into consideration. As to the part of the Bill which su'ojeeted the vessel to seizure, if fund within two leagues of the coast, he did not think that was so great a hard ship, at least, there was nothing new in it, as they had been dealing in it a long time, under the name of hovering. But the Learned Gentleman he J not quoted the Bill correctly, as it stated that the ves sel should be found within two leagues of the coast at anchor, or hovering, without proceeding on her voyage, wind and weather permitting, or some other reason preventing her.
