9 I , out co tie: ; t ioa gO, „ e a tIP ' th° V••• tit' ife co Id ' (ji L • --, to oblerve, th at at i ot h e r d ay Was to 0 . ap pointed for the discussion of that subject. On the question cf Supp ort to the late Minister, he must oh3erve, that when it should b came before the H ouse ,, h e. ready, as ever he was, to censure the con (lua of that Gentleman ; and he 'thought the Expe dition to Egypt, particully in refusg to . assent to the French evacuating that Country, in a measure de.: serving censure, notwithstanding the vidory by which i t was followed. He supported the present CH ANCELLoa o f t h e EXCHEQUER, as the Minister of a pacific System, wh en h e should ceaSe to be the Minister _of. a pacific System, and when he should think his measures ceased to be measures that were advantageotts to his.Countrv, he should be as ready to attack him, as he wa, now willing to support him, but while he thought his measures were ad iiantageous to. his Country, while lie was convinced his intentions were good, he should have support hifrom hi m ; nor would he-be desirous of increasing • s difficulties, by captious objeaions' upon minor points. This he said from a conviEtion that diffi culties must occur in the pr4ent condition of things, although he hoped we should be able to surmount them. . _ MP. STURGES alluded to an observation made by Mr. TIERNEY, relative to a C sent out to. the W est Indies 'l to inquire into certa i n ommissi on to b e Expe n di tures there, and oserved, the lion. Gentle man ' s o b jection to the conduC"t at of th the . late Administ rat i on upon that account, in not having adopted any s u ch measure,-was hastily formed, for unless he was mistaken, a Commission of the same sort W 43 agreed upo n in the year 'Soo, and an Ad of passed to empower His - Majesty' s then inisters to issue which i s now a C omm i ss i on similar to that abou t to issue, and precisely for the purpose of inquiring into certain Expenditures in the West Indies. He therefore hoed t would see that the' H on. entlem an ' s i mputation he H ouse G p again s t the late Administr at i on was in this respeft ilLfounded.' . The CibINCELLOP of the EXCHEQUER said, it really did . not occur to him, when he last had the honour of addressing the Committee, to state, there. had been such an Aft, as that adverted to by the Hon. and Learned Gentleman who spoke last. And indeed it was right, he should Observe that the Committee now about to be appointed for the purpose, of inquiring into certain Expenditures in the \Vest Indies, is founded on the A t tt of Pat% Lament to which that Hon.. and Leaned Gentle man referred. • - Mr. W. DU:VD AS said, t h at the lion. Gentle_ Lions i n ma n (Mr. TrEltNtY) still adhereci.t6 his Observa-: the l the charg er O ,whi Chancelich h e h ad exhibited against ate of the Exchequer, that of de laying accounts which ought to have been presented before the House. Upon that' he must take 'leave to observe it Would have made th at attack u bt) as' generous generous to ha ve upo n that Right,Hun. Gentlem an tions in his presence. esence. Allusion s were made. to transac t year 5799, which if that Right Hon. diatel Gentleman w ere prese nt would be explained inure_ knewthat Rig He believed t h at no person who ever he to Hon. Gen t l eman, suspeeted the in_ grity of his character.. But if any Member of that House had any thing to say .against him,,lee, accuse him in his presence, and-- not in his ab sence. He could not trust himself with discoursing long upon this topic, .for he felt a warmth Upon it, Which might lead him to use irregular expressions:: tiffic e it to say, that it brought to his recollection sentiments that were near and dear to his heart. -77-13ut the friend s 'of the pacific: system had told the House the day Was enuring when he should charge the late Chancellor of the'Exchequer with he knew not what. He was, Exchequer ' •t believe, that when. nough to that day tome, the answer ~ , of that tkignt Hon. Gentleman would be as satisfac tory as others he had ' made upon other occasions, when cavils had been entertained by, some indivi duals against his conclua. H e did not mean to t reat Hun. Gentleman behind lightly the t a l ents of the him (Mr. NicHous), but he could not help ad_ miring the zeal of the Minister's new. Allies; for much of the business of this day, he perceived, was not to discuss the matter regularly before the 800 le ---it was rather to rehearse the Creed of the ..Ministers new Allies—Prlludiaw to Mr. Tiervey and Mr. NichollsA—The Hon. Gentleman opposite to him wished the late 'CHANCELLOR of the Ex outooEit's condo& to be reprobated, while he professed to support the measures of the present A, inister. Now, Mr. DuN DAS said, he wished to Inow, whether that Hon. gentleman expeft I theet Present Minister to court his approbation, or the approl-sation of any man or set of men; at the ex. , Pence of the Charafter of the late CHANC EL LoR o f Exc 8- rQuP. it ? No, however powerful the assistance 4131 the'e Gentiemen who were the Minister's new Allies, might-be„ upon such terms he was sure the .Inepresent Minister would scorn to receiv e it.—A s to observations which were thrown out by an 4ubj-tion. Gentleman heldnd bins (Mr. :Ni c It o 1. t.s) on the, eta of the. Expedition to Egypt, he should say presc4 word or two almost instantly. He woold not. ribe to Gentlemen the course they were to take in discussing subjeds in that HOuse. Debates were free, and they ought to be so. One Hon. Gentle.' man (and r had been pleased to call the Account laid before the House, of certain Expeodi tiure, ~ a scandalous Account.". --He could not help the ( Tither ; the use of it was mere matter c( taste. , Anotnr!rHon. Gentleman had said, that if this Ac- Rount was read in A, T v 0 1 , 1 1, I meet w every M ar k et i n England, it ith scorn and i n di gnat i on—Scorn and indig nation !—Why ? What did - theSe items refer to ? — They ref erre d to the proSecution of a War which had been voted necessary by tha by a vast tnajority—eteemed necessary by t House, of every too of the mo 99 our st intelligent p eop l e i n t hi s Countryalie wished to speak tenderly on this subjeft now, because - the War was at an end, and he too, in his turn, had a right to saye was fri en d to the Pacific System ; but i t was , a l War car_ a tied on by us for every thing that was or could be dear- to English Men. - It was thought necessary to endeavour to Curb the ambition of France at that time, and therefore a powerful Continental Confe deracy was formed for the purpose of driving France 'within- its ancient limits ; and he wouldask,-whether iafter all that had past in Parliainent upon this sub ea; it could be said to be decent in an indiVi dual out of a small body of men called the,Mino- thy, to tell the House that the items of expence in carrying on such a War, could not be read without Scorn and indignation ? After the War was over, (at which no man rejoiced, Mr. DuisroAs said more than he did)—he did not think it proper to say more on this head of the discussion of this night. Now,. as to the subjea of . the Expedition to Egypt, on which he said he should say a few words, and he assured the House they should be a few.—Did the' Hon. Gentleman who to-night foUnd fault with that Expedition, and who professed to, be such a friend to Peace, imagine that if that l Expe,dition had not taken pl ace , P eace wou ld have been obtain ed? The Hon. Gentleman thought he .4 yd found, : out, that is, he had persuaded himself, Abut ,if we considered the interests of this Country in their true light, it would have been Ur better. for us to have left Egypt in the hands of the French, than for us to have entailed on ourselves the expence of that Ex pedition. Did that Hon. Gentleman recollect that we had any interest to.protea in India ? And, if he did so recolie6l, did he believe that our Indian pos sessions would have been in the same state of secu rity as they are at present, if the Egyptian Expedi tion had not been undertakeo ? Or, to use the very words of the Hon. Gentleman, if it had been suf. fered to remain in the hands of the French ? The . Hon. Gentleman might say so ; but would he be able to find another man in England, who under stood the interest of his Couritry in India, to say so with him ?He apprehended not. Cavils were made at the . expence of that Expedition to Egypt,,--Mini sters were not to blame-for that; for it was thought by tke niOst experienced Officers, and those whose knowledge qualified them best to form opinions upon it, that the resistance of the French to our arms there would not have been great.--Sir RALPH AB ERCRONIBY himself, of whom no Briton could speak.without admiration,,thooght that the first blow by us would have been decisive there—that the mo ment of the first assault would have been the decisive moment of vitory. It appeared otherwise—rein forcements became necessary--reinforcements were sent, and the British Arms were crowned with glory. This was attended with expence—was that expence wonderful ? It procured us Peace. We were. all happy at that event, and he owned it was surprizing to him, that. this article, above all others, was made the subject of animadversion. Mr. M.4RTIN said; that nothing he had heard, had yet in the least. altered his opinion orythe• topics which had been discused to-nighr, Mr. TIERNEY begged leave to say'i word or two on the extraordinary attack which, he said, had just been made upon him, by the Hon. Member' op posite to him (Mr. W. DusznAs): His crime was only that of expressing a great readiness to support the present. Administration ; and which, in spite of the intemperance of some of its triends, he would support, while its measures appeared to him to be what they should be. Whether the Hon. Gen:le mon was pleased.or nor, he could not tell, but out of doors, Mr. TIERNEY thought the disapproba. tiori of that Honourable: Member would .be a feather in his cap. As to his uttering insinuations . agairist the late CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, he would only refer to the recolledlionof the House, whether he did not guard his expression, And avoid the use of a single, word that might be supposed to refleft on the personal integrity of the Iate'CuAN eELLOW of the EXCHEQUER—He had no intention of uttering any such word, or, of conveying any such idea. All he had said, was, that Accounts had been kept back when then they ought, ro have been brought forward, and that he persisted in.— . What it is that I have done," said Mr. TIER NEY, " to offend the. Right Hon. Gentleman, I do not know ; and, he will pardon me, if I say, I do not much care. I have said that I will support Administration. He is an experienced man in these things, and understands them; but for a young begin ner, as I am, I think I may say I have met with rather harsh treatment. If it is to be understood, that no man is to support Administration but such as will rea dily eat every former word, if necessary, and swallow every sentiment which may be uttered in this House by those who possess power in .Govern_ ment ; that none shall be allowed to support Ad ministration, but those who can readily praise whom they have been accustomed to attack—who can recant every public sentiment they ever ut tered, renounce every public profession they ever made, then I am not fit to support either this or any other Administration—but in as much as I think a man may fairly support Administration, without that species of flexibility —in as much as I think, that in the hodr of danger or emergency, an Administra tion, whose professed principles 1 approve, deserve support, the present Administration shall have my cordial support while it continues to aft upon, those principles ; and I shbuld hope that my conduti will not be misconstrued, nor that I shall be subjeCt to blame, and until I hear it pronounced from the lips of some person of higher authority than that of the Right. Hon. Gentleman, that I am liable to censure, I shall remain satisfied." The SECRETARY at WAR explained the cause the charge of the item in the account of Coals sent to Gibraltar, which he justified, and professed a readiness to give any further information to any Gentleman who should require it. Mr. ROI4S'ON said, that he had, on a former Occasion, ca ll e d t h e account b efore the House a scandalous account ; he was still of opinion that the account was a scandalous account. The SPEAKER said, that in the course of dis cussion on this . subjea he had felt some uneasiness. He had always a wish that Debate should be free and liberal, nor did he wish to interfere at every little lapse of expression; but to say that an Account presented to the House, and received by the House, was a scandalous Account, appeared to him not to be :proper language. - . Mr. ROPSON submitted to the authority of the Chair, and then proceeded, at some length, to insist on objeetions to the 'Accounts, as he had doire-on a former, occasion, Mr. SIM E,ON said, he apprehended it was very irregular for Gentlemen to use the harsh language which had been used upon this and a former occa sion ; it appeared to him much more regular to make a Motion-upon the subje6l. The Report was then agreed to. ts''e CJTAACELLOR if eye moved the Order of the tosy for going into a Com_ mittee of Ways ,and Means. TheTildlse haviiig re solved itself into the said COMrhittee, TLe CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, .that he , had,' upon a former decasion, stated to the House„ that under the present circumstances of the Country, it might he proper -td put off the pe cuniary arrangements for a certain period:. At the same time, it was necessary that a Supply should be granted for the Public Service; he thf...refore moved, in conformity to the Vote of the Committee of Supply, that. a Sum of 2, zoo,oool. be raised by Exchequer Bills, &c. . Mr. ROBSON wished ; the Exchequer Bills might be issued for smaller sums than they had lately been, because, by , making the. smallest of the Exchequer Bills for Soot. it prevented, them from circulation. Another point he wished to ''pr,t:ss upon tile House, was>this, that Exchequer Bills were sometimes at a Discount, and sometimes - at a Preinitim, and he did not see the profit or loss stated in the Public Ac..• counts. The CHANCELLOR of the ,EXCHEQUER said, he was not aware of any objeCtion that could be made, if the Hon. Gentleman made a Motion to that etre& ; but the Hon. Gentleman would recol le4, that in the month of November last, there was a.redudion'of one halfpenny in the Interest of Exchequer Bills. The Motion was then agreed to, and the House being resumed, the -Report was ordered to be re ceived to-morrow. Mr. ALEXANDER brought up the Report on the Southern Whale Fishery Report was - agreed to, and a Bill was ordered to be brought in. INSOLVENT DEETORS. Mr. W. WYNNE said, he rose in pursuance of his notice, to call the. attention of the House to the Ad of the ,32d of Geo. 11. respelling Debtors. He had originally intended to have trespassed at some length upon the attention Of the House ; - but at pre sent he felt that it would be more consonant with their feelings if he simply stated the objea of the Bill he meant to move for. By the At of the 32d of Geo, 11. the benefit arising Debtors was limited to persons confined for debts under tool.— It was afterwards extended "to tool.--He meant to propose, that that privilege should be extended in definitely, Another - regulation of the Ad of Geo . ,11. was, that personsfn'tit giving a true account o f : their property, should be =transported : he meant to propose, that the Creditors should have a right to claim the whole of the property, because there were many cases in which the Debtor would rather lay in prison, or even go to Botany Bay, than pay his debts. Another objed he had in view was, to enable Debtors to apply to the Quarter Sessions for relief, as well as to-the Judges -of Assize. He concluded with moving for leave to bring 'in a Bill for these pur poses. Mr. NICHOLLS said it was an extremely he zardous thing to make hasty alterations in the laws of the land, particularly for Parliaraent to do so. These things .could be better done slowly by.the Judges. He confessed that he .was rather inclined to in crease the severity of the laws -against Debtors ; and at the same time, if Debtors were compelled to give up the whole of their property, they would then be entitled to their discharge, and an universal Bankrupt. Law would be the .consequence. He would not oppose the Motion now made ; but after the Bill was brought in, he hoped the House would consider it well before they gave their santlion - to it. Mr. LPT . I tr N E said, he fully coincided in every feeling of humanity expressed or felt .by the Hon. Member towards the distressed and really insolvent Prisoner for debt, and should always be,found ready to concur in any reaso!able measure for his relief. With this feeling he had voted for the Insolvent Bill last Session, and he heard with mu c h satisfac. Lion, that a Bill was . intended to be brought forward in.another House of Parliament, to render the provi sions of that Bill permanent. But be had no noriorr of a Debtor going into King's Bench Prison with two or three thousand pounds a-year, living in sumptuous apartment,4 rioting in expensive luxury, yet pertinaciously,,refusing to pay-his hOnest Creditors, who Were often consigned to rot in the dungeons of other gaols, for insolvency created by the Want of those very .debts, wantonly and dis honestly withheld frOin • them. Instance of this sort were numerous and notorious. Ina very inge niousßeport upon this subjed laid before the House some years hack, it appeared that a man named Pope, possessed of jJty, or as was confidently, said, an hundred thousand licounds, suffered himself to be committed to the King's Bench, and confined, there' ten years for a debt of t0,0c01,. Instanc - es of sort 'were surely not .to be tolerated under any, principle of justice, And while Laws were made, every year for the relief of the Insolvent Debtor; it was desirable that some attention should be had for the sufferings - of the Creditor. Mr. MEON asked if the Hon. Gentleman meant in his Bill to provide that all the future- ef t's:as, -and the new property which men might ac.. .quire after being let out of prison, should be sub_ jea to the payinent of the old debts, or not ? He disapproved of the Hon. Gentleman's plan for extending the allowances to Debtors of all kinds. The. Legislature was wise in confining them to those who owed small sums. Mr. W. WYNNE gxplained the nature of the Bill he meant to bring in, and obviated the cbjec. tions which had been !Tilde to it. • IVIr.. LEVIS supported the Motion.. Leave Iva; given to bring in the Bill. Sir H. MILDMAY said, that after what had fallen from the lIOn. Gentleman" on the other side, it was not necessary for him to enter at large inro the subjeft of the Bill he meant to have introduced, to amend the Aft of the 22d of Geo. 11. for the Relief of Debtors, and thought it would equally Weil answer his purpose, if 4; was incorporated wit h the Bill just proposed by - the • Hon. Gentleman. By the above Aft prisonets confined for Debt had a privilege of causing themselves by Petition. to be brought before a Judge-at the then nestt Term, and on surrendering tileirTeffeas Upon oath to their Cre ditors, to be ordered by the Court sixpence per day subsistence, to be paid them daily by such Creditors, on failure of which allowance any one jay, .the would he entitled to his iriirnt!diat6 lice ad don. But rrisdtfers confined far debt in the provim-.. .cial prisons ; and in the distant parts of the kingdom; ,having only the opportua; ty of claiming this indul, gence at the next Assizes ; ‘iyhich, in sortie places; occurred but twice a year; and in others not more than once, the untbrtunate debtor, - as he must give to his -Creditors fourteen clear days notice of such his petition ; .after having lost the opportunity of obtaining relief owing to the short stay of the judges , in the town, had frequently languished six months or a whOle year in prison; without any op.: portunity of advantage from that humane Law. His object was then to rest the, p6wer of granting such :relief in these Magistrates at Sessions. The SPEAKER told the Hon. Member, that if he intended the Regulation he had just proposed should form a part of the- Bill about to be brought in, he should wait until it was in one of its stages before the House. The Hon. Member did not rriakc any Motion. Lord FOLKSTONE moved, " That the Account which was presented on .'Friday last, respating Places for life, Pensions, &c. should be printed."— Ordered. The Committee of Supply „was put off till Wed nesday. Adjourned at half pan seven till to-morrow.
