THE Committee of Privileges, which stood for this day, was postponed. The Marquis of SLIGO was sworn and took , his scat. The Order of the Day for the second reading of the Godmanchester Inclosure, Bill being read, Mr. BF.sT, who attended as Counsel for the Petitioners against the Bill, was called to the Bar. The Learned Counsel, it appeared from his state ment, was not as yet fully instruaed as to the whole of the Petitioners' objeaions to the measure : their principal objet in the present instance was to induce the House to defer the consideration of the Bill for some time, which, he observed, from the nature of the case, could not defeat the objeas of the Bill, as its operations could not commence for a month or two, which was the interval the Peti. tioners hoped their Lordships would consent to de fer it to. Upon the Learned Counsel being asked by the LORD CHANCELLOR, whether he was then pre pared to adduce any great and leading objeEtion to the Bill, he stated, that one of the most serious objeaions to it was, on account of the fre quent inundations which took place in that part of the Country. The cattle were removed beyond the reach of these, into parts which are to be affeded by the measure in question, and where they fed on the Balks; but should the Bill pass into a Law, this opportunity would in a great degree be lost. _ _ After some further observations had taken place between the Learned Counsel and one or two of their Lordships, it appeared the sense of the House, that the further discussion of the measure be re served for the Committee, in which any well_ founded objeaion to its provisions may be regu. larly discussed, and probably obviated. The Bill was then read a second time, and or dered to be referred to a Committee to-morrow : on wh►ich Stage leave was granted to the Peti tioners to be further heard by their Counsel. The several Bills before the House were for warded in their respective stages :—Of these, the Transport Mils Payment Bill, and one or two others, went through a Committee of the whole House, Lord,WALSINGHANI in the Chair, and were, ordered to be reported to-morrow. The Order of the Day for the second reading of the Bill, " To appoint Commissioners to inquire " and examine into the Frauds, Abuses and lire " gularities, which have been, or may be pradised " by persons in the several Departments of the " Navy ; and in the business of Prize Agents, " and to report the same, together with such obser. " vations as may occur to them, in order to pre " vent such Frauds, Abuses, and Irregularities in " future ; for the better concluding and manage " ment of such Departments of the Navy, and the " business of Navy Agents," &c. being read, Lord PELHAM rose, and made a few general observations with resped to the measure. He ex pressed his regret at the absence of the Noble Earl at the Head of the Marine Department, to whose province the Bill more peculiarly belonged, and who of course was infinitely better able than himself to enter into a satisfadory statement of the merits of the Bill, and the necessity for those Legislative provisions which it went to enad. He had to re gret the absence of the Noble Earl still more, as he was free to confess, he entertained no small degree of Constitutional Jealousy with respect to Bills of the description of that before the House ; but did no other consideration operate upon his mind, his respect for the deliberations and proceedings of the other House of Parliament, and his opinion of its wisdom, would induce him to entertain the Bill. A t the same time he fully agreed with what more than once had fallen from his Noble and Learned Friend upon the Woolsack, namely, that Bills of the im portance and nature of that now before their Lord ships, ought to be sent up to them at such periods" of a Session as would allow full time for their ample and deliberate consideration. In addition to his respea, for the quarter from which the measure pro ceeded, there was another ground upon which he thought he could conscientiously vote for the Bill, namely, in consequence of the information afforded by the Reports made on subjects connected with that in question, to the House of Commons, and which were then before their Lordships. Under these considerations he would move " That the Bill be now read a second time." Lord Viscount NELSON rose to second the Mo. tion, and observed, that the necessity for such a measure as that before their Lordships, was uni versally admitted,' as it was known on all hands that abuses to a considerable extent existed in se veral branches of the Naval Department of the Country. The business of Prizes, he considered as particularly calling for legislative regulations. He had lumrd of some apparently strong objedions which had been started against the measure, but these by no means operated upon his mind, so as to entertain an idea of its rejection. The powers to be granted to the Commissioners under the Bill were much canvassed, particularly with resped to the examination of the books, &c. of Mercantile Men : the consideration, he regard - a as a serious one, but, upon inquiry, he understood that no ur gent objedions had been advanced by those who .were to be affected by the provision. He had a high opinion of the Commissioners ; as sensible and liberal.minded men, he thought they would exec.. cise the powers entrusted . to them with all due de licacy and caution ; he had no serious apprehensions on that score. In his views of the subjea, and as a Sea Officer and a Nautical Man, he had opportuni ties of being versed in it. The Bill had his cordial support : Indeed, he thought some strong regula [ions essentially necessary to correl abuses, which were known by all, even the very boys in the street, to exist. The Noble Viscount referred to some in stances with I:esped. to affairs of Prizes, which, par ticularly, he thought, called for decisive regula. bons, and in which the difficulty of getting the money, and a proper adjustment of accounts, were inconceivable even to Officers of the highest rank, aria wiii i ch was naturally lacreasea with reset to those in the lower ranks of the Navy. Upon-the whole, notwithstanding what had been urged in ob jeCtion to the Bill, he was so firmly convinced of the necessity of a Legislative Provision of the kind, that, he repeated, it had his most cordial support. The LORD CHANCELLOR quitted the Wool sack, and expressetl his sentiments of the Bill, and chiefly with a reference to its principle. He stated the precise nature of the question then before their Lordships, and observed, that upon the whole, he was content to entertain the Bill, at the same time, he must say, that it was a measure which deserved the most serious and deliberate atten tion of their Lordships. He fully agreed with what had fallen, in that point of view, from his Noble Friend, and, observed, that with a re ference to the dignity and security of their Lord ships' proceedings, it was fit they should secure an opportunity for the full and deliberate discussion of all important Bills. With respea to the subjeet in question, the only regular and authentic ground the House had as yet to go upon, was the informa tion contained in the Reports of the House of Com mons, which was then before their Lordships, and which so far, he was of opinion, ought to be made a ground for their proceeding. He was aware of what had been advanced as to the necessity of the measure, and agreed cordially in a part of what had fallen from the Noble Viscount. It was an old maxim, in the profession- to which he himself had the honour to belong, and which he should take the liberty to call his own trade, that those' who labour should be secured with respeft to their earrings, and more particularly did it apply to that meritorious class of individuals who fought the battles of their Country by sea, that they should be secured in the reward of their valour. In considering some of the leading provisions of the Bill before them, he expressed his opinion, that it would have been better, were the proposed Regulations with respeCt to the Frauds, &c. kept distinet from the business of the Prize Agents. He thought that part of the objet would be more usefully attained, were they conduCted by a separate Commission. To the principle of the Bill, however, was the great weight of the Noble and Learned Lord's observations direded— it was one which merited the most anxious atten tion of that House. He had no objeetion to the institution of the Inquiries, provided it was ren dered conformable to the great and leading prin. ciples of the British Constitution ; they should take care that they bound no man to accede to that which even tended to criminate himself ; that great maxim of English Jurisprudence should not he vio lated—great as may be the advantages likely to re sult from the passing of the Bill, the purchase of those advantages would he too dear, if made by the sa crifice of the principles of the Constitution—to this most important consideration, he thought it his duty to call their Lordships' attention, and consi dering the Bill, with a reference to that great principle, it was a question with him, whether considerable additions to, or alterations in the Bill were not necessary to be made ; but this naturally would be matter for future discussion. — The Noble and Learned Lord also seemed to entertain doubts whether, always keeping the principle of such a Bill in view, the objets of the present Bill would be attained in the way most useful to the Public, by its provisions ; this consi deration led him into a short view of , some of the details of the Bill, and which, he thought, furnish ed matter and argument for close discussion. Whe ther the Bill could have his support to the extent of the measure as it then stood, he could not say; but it should be their endeavour to render it as useful as they could, without a sacrifice of the principle to which he alluded ; and notwithstanding what had been ad. vanced on that head, his opinion was, that it would be preferable, at least be was ready to sit down under those abuses sooner than violate maxims on which were founded nine-tenths of the Liberty of the Country. The Question was then put, and the Bill was read a second time without farther observation, and ordered to be referred to a Committee of the whole House to-morrow. _ _ After some routine business was disposed of, an Adjournment took place. ROUSE OF COMMONS. TUESDAY, DEC. 21. ELECTION PETITIONS. The ATTORNEY GENERAL presented a Pe. tition from Messrs. Slack and Gibson, of Lincoln's Inn, Agents of Mr. Williams, who had presented a Petition, complaining of an undue Eta - lion for the Borough of Tregony. The Petitioners stated, that it was not till Saturday that they had received, by the past, the names of two Gentlemen who were to be the sureties in Mr. Williams's recognizance.— That having afterwards to look for these Gentle. men, it was not till Monday that they could pre sent them to the examiners of sureties, who refused to examine them, as two clear days had not inter vened between the time of serving the notice and their being presented. The Petitioners, on these grounds, prayed that the time for entering into the recognizance be enlarged. The ATTORNEY CENERAL moved, that the time be enlarged to Monday next. Mr. .I?RAGGE stated, that the House had been always particularly jealous of. enlarging the time fixed by Aft of Parliament for entering into re cognizances for prosecuting Petitions, unless special matter appeared on the face of the Petition requiring the enlargement, to justify the House in the conces sion: The Petition now before the House had a just ground for indulgence, so far as the agents were concerned. They had used all due vigilance, as far as the circumstances of their instrutlions would admit, hut the Gentleman who employed them had certainly been remiss or he should have procured sureties either in the country or in town before Saturday. He voted against the motion, which was negatived without a dissenting voice. The order, fixing a day for taking Mr. 'Wil liams's Petition into consideration, was of course discharged. Mr. ST. Jon presented a Petition of a similar nature from Mr. CONCANNON, who had not entered into a recognizance for prosecuting his Petition re speaing an undue eleaion for the Bo.toug.h of lord, being ignorant of the pree:se tenor ana th e standing Orders of the Hckse on the subject, and having been detained in France by contrary winds , when on his way to Engind, to prosecute Iris Petition. GLENI?ERVIE• thought this Petition less entitled to indulgence than the former. The 01111 cases within his recolleetion, in which the House had thought proper to enlarge the time limited law, were the case of Drogheda, where the Sitting Member could not be found within the proper times to serve the notice upon him, and the case of Admi ral MACBRIDE, who was detained at sea on zits Majesty's service. The absence of the present Petitioner was certainly not an unavoidable absence, Mr. Sr. JOHN explained. Mr. BRA GGE urged the impropriety of offer ing to the House, as a ground for the enlargement of the time fixed by its Laws and its Standing Orders , the ignorance of those Laws and those Standing; Orders. When a Law was once passed, it was OP; posed that every man was acquainted with it, and though the Standing Orders of the House could not be supposed to be so generally known, it was not right that an-Order printed in 1789 should be un known to a person so much interested in knowing it. ,This Motion was also negatived. FINANCES OF IRELAND. Mr. CORRY said, that having last Session had die honour to move for some Accounts relative to Ireland, with a View to bring the examination of the Public Accounts of both Countries to the same period, he moved now for the same accounts, being the usual Accounts, No. I, pursuant to his notice. It had been objeacd last Session, that there was a large space in the Public Accounts of Ireland. un accounted for. This was, in fart, unavoidable. The Public Accounts of Ireland were annually laid before the Irish Parliament, up to the 25th of March of the preceding year, and here they were made to the sth January of the current year. Thus it hap pened, that, when the Union was concluded, there was a year's Accounts due, and the vacuum, which was thus constituted, had increased in consequenc e of the variation of the period to which the Public Offices in Ireland were accustomed to make up their Accounts. To fill up this vacuum, he moved for an account of the Ordinary Revenues, and extra ordidary resources of Ireland, with the expences colleting the same, and the net produce from the isth March 1799, to the 25th March 1800, ells° tinguishing the years. Also, an account of th e same from the 25th March 1800, to the ast January 180 t, the day of the commencement of di° . Union ; and from the ist January 1801, to the sth January 18oz, being the period to which the fir' tish Accounts were made up.—Ordered. Mr. CORRY then moved for an Account not be' fore alluded to, in order to give the fullest inform al tion relative to the expenditure of the Public Monet in. Ireland.—A list of the Officers whose Accounts are audited by the Commissioners for auditing th e Public Accounts in Ireland ; also, a list of t" persons accountable for imprest monies.--ordered. Mr. CORRY said, he thought it necessary now t o renew a notice which he had given at the close 0' the last Session.—He had then stated the proprietY of rendering permanent those duties which formed tille security of the Public Creditors of Ireland, whi c ► being voted annually in the Irish Parliament, we r „ e° in like manner, voted annually hemsince the Uni t "' Every person then in the House seemed to he pressed with the propriety of putting the Puh Li ii Credit of both Countries, and the security on w hie 6 it was founded, on the same footing. He was sot the sentiments of the House were the same ric i ' v ; He should therefore, soon after the recess, 0 1 , i - e , for le a ve to bri n g in a Bill to render permanent id aforesaid duties ; and at the same time, he sh cli f move fur leave to bring in a Bill, to render P e 'i manent the Laws for the better colledion those Duties, as, without a proper system of P e . o manent colleaion, the permanency of the Dn r a would he nugatory. A schedule of Duties had he ' prepared with a view to this objeft, but it had kept back till a similar system of consolidation , : 11 11 tended to take place in Great Britain, was a cc° plished. It was necessary that the denorninati°% s , foreign goods, should be the same in both Coun tr t 1 The system was designed to extend to the ..glrisr`, Merchant every advantage that the English Yie chant enjoyed by Bonding, &c. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER s I's he rose in consequence of what had been said b y t er Friend,Right Hon. to give notice, that soon 813101 the recess he should move for leave to bring in ' l l i f s for consolidating the Duties on the plan propose' a 1787, with this difference, that there was to becre new Tariff, including certain articles tha t omitted before. He also took the opportu nit) 3 ' ii stating, that it was his intention to bring in a co e to extend the system of Bonding ; and as, s to , misconception had gone abroad relative to thelr'yive tions of Government on this subjeel, he woulcl a .b." some explanation of what it was intended to _ere He knew it was understood that Free Ports war, to be established to a great extent. It was I° tainly intended to extend the sytem of bond" Dos some ports that did not enjoy it now ; but i t fo her for the discretion of Parliament to 'fix the nt l j t o and names of those Ports, and it was intendeloW extend it to no port, but under the three fulloanding conditions. That they should give old ample security for the duties. idly , That nt• should prove themselves provided with. full ac dje}' modation of Warehouses ; and, 3,11 y, should a pphe a ear to have traded fora considerablielotwei back in the articles which they were to o 0 ,,a to bond. The system altogether would nnt e ten d e tl to the establishment of free ports , it was 1 ", merely to propose to Parliament to exten d t";;t be it tern of Bonding to such Ports as, in its discre: to should think fit. This Bill was not i s ntendeu siloo lal Dut ie proposed till the consolidation of th e his t n. have taken place. He also gave notice tendon, (.)rin after the recess, to move for le a bring in a Bill for the appoinment of Connl4Z Greatto examine into the Public Acounts bet we. hrd Britain and Ireland. d a te i The Irish Sugar Bounty Bill wa s re a t o time and passed. be gi vr r Mr. VANS ITTART moved, tha t leave ot ve to t o bring in a Bill to eppcint Commissioners s o intend the collection of the Pension D Y ' ji carry into effect the provisions of, the Aets of
