DEBTOIiS BILL. I r .tl a short time /titer tie etninselhatl ‘vithilrawn from the liar, . , Lord.HoLLANn presented a Petition from the Insolvent Dehtors in ; the Fleet Prison, to their Lordships. Ile explained to the House that what the Petitioners - complained of, was the delay svhiidi had taken place_ in the -execution of the Act passed last ,t3ession, .for the general relief of • Insolvent liebtors. Und er thi s , th os e un f ortunate persons had expected in:Mediate relief ;, they sim. ply complained th a t th e C ourt appo i n t e d b y t h e Bill to inquire into their respective 'cases, and to afford 'correspondent relief, had not been consti tuted. Though the Act had been -passed in the month of .101 y, yet it trios not until September a ,Commissioner was appointed ; that the first time of priweedin:,., to lin,i.less was the t.!fitli of that month. They complained of the injurious effects, of this delay. It 'was not his Lordship's intention; he said, then to press the floese to any considera tion of the case ;‘ he would give no opinion then ,as to its merits, as the Learned Lord by whom the measure was principally framed was not present ; nor even touch -on any points that may induce discussion : but simply move for the' Petition's lying upon. the table. The Limo CHANCELLOR observed, he certainly should nut object to the Pctition'slaying upon the table; and he perfectly agreed with the Noble Lord in the propriety of abstaining from any diS- ChiShali at present. When the Noble and Learn= ed Lord who may be cOnsidcred as the author of the Bill should he'present, no doubt - a limpet op portunity would offer for the explanation of cir cumstances which seemed' to call for one. He should not have troubled their Lordships with any observations, were it not with reference to something stated in certain public prints, and of What had, passed elsewhere. It had been alleged, with respect to the Bill in question, that the Law Lords had all given it at least their tacit approba , tion. On this head, for his own part, he should only say, that Ile had uniformly in his place (as was known to some goble Lords now present), expressed not only his apprehension, but his de cided conviction, that the provisions of the Bill, or rather, as he formerly expressed himself, of its machinery, would by 'no means answer with re spect,to the object proposed. He also begged to recall to their Lordships recollection, not only that he had repeatedly given such an opinion, but that when the Dili came back last Session front the other House, with that provision Which it was understood would have been made, in Order to complete its machinery, he took oecasion.again to state .his extreme apprehertslia,•that the mea sure . could not answer its purpose With respect to the question of delay, he believed that the worthy Gentleman appointed under the Bill had. actill with the utmost diligence, and had made use of all the means which the Act placed in his power to carry its provisions into execution. Lord.HOLLANn thought it proper to observe, that in the Petition before the House nu blame whatever was imputed to' any person appointed to officiate under the Bill ; neither did the Petitioners complaiu of the Bill as framed. What they cote-i of was, that‘there had nrit - been saflicient attempts made to put the provisions of the Bill in a state of exceutimr. He Was, ho Never, aware of the . propriety of not entering into any discus sion of the subac, , J at present. • Viscount.SinstouTH (who had not long entered the House): said, he could not abstain frmn troubling their Lordships for a few momtents, even at this time, on account of what his Noble Friend hail said respecting the. complaint of the Petitioners ; namely, that a sufficient attempt had not been made to carry the Act in question into execution ; and that the complaint referred to that point alone. It appeared to he understood that no detailed discussion of the subject should take place at present, or until the Noble and Learned Lord who had proposed the 13ill should attend in his place. MI he ,wished was, that it now may be generally understood, that everypos, sible attempt had been made for carrying the Act into execution. For hitnsclf personallyi he had yet . to understand that the affair in question be- , longed to the duty of the office lie had. the ho nour to .hold under his Majesty. Esrly in the month ofAugust two,petitions were received on the subject of the delay, and it was complained that there was not a provision in the Act for de ,` be expenses of its execution. In conge . this, a representatioer was made by Noble Friend at the head of the Tien , . _ein:g the peculiar nature and itn sttbject. was induced tci give the on his own responsibility.— i ` h ! LS , °Mg l'Clufned, the consieteration lalMfflinpetunt person to carry the Act into ef fect became necessary ; .and on this . head coin inunications with his. Noble Friend on ,the Wool stink took place. Propositions were made to , two entinent persons in the profession of the who apparea„ly, on considering the difficulties that presented themselves under the eircumstfuices of the case, . thought proper, to decline the office. The subject was most earnestly and anxiously utteuded to on the part of his Majesty's Govern inent.„- with a view to the removal of the second difficulty. Thu peculiar nature of the subject, and the feelingi as well as the circumstances and state of expectation •in which Individuals were amend, were duly appreciated by .Ministers ; and his Noble and Learned Friend especially exerted . hiotself on the occasion, and at length that very re,ipectuble individual, Mr. Serjeant Palmer, was sugi;ested aS a proper pt!ESOO to he recommended to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent for ap pointment ti, tile office of Connili.slioner. No dooy wits sua.red to take place. Very shortly ,after the communication from Isis • N'oble end 1..,e,.rneil Friend, he made the and on the followin:; day the Learned Serjeant'a pointitment, Pl 9 Commis,ioner,_ ftplie;il'ed in the 'Ca, zette, From tbtt period even y possible facility s*)t) the part of GOverpment had been afforded for caerying the .tot into due execution. Ahe coal p:ie;:ted, and exteosiye :details of the subject pre .....euted many, didienities, and every practical;! , .. , 111Cali3.WCre resoried to in order to ohviatethem. The assistance of the Magistrates-of Westrniii: , ,4er WaVre'curred to, and those respeetableGentletneo, though not constituting a Court which could re: . gularly take ccguizunce of the subject, 04 pressecl their willingneSs to render' every tadlity and CO opeiation in their power, with respect to the exe cution of the Ar;. Since that period another application had .been made with respect to. the -notices to be.given Under the IC - cf. •It soon ap peared, that if these Nvere to litr.,given in the Ga zettc according to the probable arrrangement and. course of the businesS, it would preclude the purpose for which that publication teas calm- lilted, which .svas an easy and free circulation ; and to obviate that .part of the difficulty,' di rections were given for toe,publishing,a siipernu literary 'Gazette ott Tuesdays and Thursdays, and a supplementary : one on Saturdays. Every one of these steps• were taken, arid other facilities af forded by his Majesty's Government, towards carrying into effect the declared wish of the'Le gishmture, and in arranging the whole, not an atom of delay was suffered to take place. An equal attention was also paid to the important consi deration of economy. The respectable person ap pointed Commissioner. was unquestionably one every way competent to the situation ; possessing greatprofcssional knowledge and ability, joined to a clear and sound judgment, and persevering' application. He was anxious to say thus • notwithstanding what was, otherwise so properly mulerstood among their Lordships, that of not en• tering into any detailed discussion upon the Bill itself, with a.view to its beiog known that no un avoidable delay whatever had obtained, on. the , part or his Majesty's Government in carrying the provisions of the Bill , in question:into effect. Lord HocLANo, though perfectly convinced .of the propriety of abstaining from every thing like discussion at present, could not. in justice ,to self, avoid observing, that not the slightest blame. was attributed to any individual with respect to the complaint of the Petition ; and hot no sort of blame was by any means meant, to be imputed to his .Noble Friend. The Petitioners' plainly . stated the fact, that sonie negleat had existed somewhere, and they complained that two months had elapsed before a person was appointed;• as prescribed ,by the Act, to carry it into 'execution. this might, he :admitted, have arisen from the . compensation oft the Bill itself, which subject, however, could not thew be with propriety dis cussed. Opportuoitis:s would offer for amending the defects of the Bill; or fur substituting a bet ter Bill, fotintled on , a similar general. principle, and for the.saine benevolent objects ; but not •in the execution•of eery Act of the Legislature, all the Officers' of the Executive Government, high or low, were bound respectively, in tleir situa tions, to contribute. LOH rdLLENIIOII6I.7(I4 felt himself called. upon, after what had transpired, to oiler a few remarks. With respect tothe Act itself, it was in many of its provisions perfectly unintelligible and not only impracticable, but, to speak plainly, it was iITIVW;iibIC to be carried into execntion.—For this, his Lordship referred to certain parts of the Act, To the case of. appeal to the superior Courts'par ticularly, it Was, as framed at present, utterly int 7 • practicable, even the tine and place of the Coin missioner's sitting was not ascertained with the necessary precision, lie was sorry his Noble Friend who proposed the Bill Was not present', as' the objections which he could offer could not be fairly or properly discussed; His view of the mea sure, es framed, was such, that it could neither have his express'or implied approbation. lie was 'aware of the difficulties of the subject taken in a general view,' but be felt at the same time for the situation of those individuals . whose expectation's of relief were unavoidably excited. Under these circunistanees the most obvious atoll facile remedy that presented itself to his mind, was the illllllC-: diate passing of a temporary Insolvent Act, and then the. Bill. in question' laity be suspended or repealed, until some efficient ouch 'practicable mea sure could be framed, so as adequately to Meet time more general amid extensive subject. Recur ring t o the topic of the ActiraSsetllast'Session;.he repeated his conviction of its inadequacy, insuf ficiency, and even total impraeticabitity. Lord , llot-LANP.CXpiTSSeiI l,is diSfipprOliatioll of such a temporary remedy as that suggested by 'his Noble and Learned Friend. ,Ite was adverse to temporary Insolvent Bills, which he regarded as . disgraceful to the Legislature, being founded in principles of hijaitice, or 'of Convenience at the expellee of justice. He regretted that he had so long contributed to their passing, and had hoped that the recent general measure would have done away all necessity 14 their future recurrence. T he Bill already produced, after much discussioil'and deliberatioo, maybe amended, and shaped so es to be purged of. its 'defects, and to answer those wise and benevolent purposes for which it was avowedly. httended. Lord ELLEstaoannort, the Lotto CfIANCELTAH, and Lord HuLLAND, spoke respectively in explanaL tion. . , The rJearnen 1,1/11:1 , JOSTICV, in reference to what had fallen from his Noble Friend (Lord H.) expressed his opinion, that a Bill on the !Hind i & of the cess'in bonorum, may ; under wise and well considered regulations, be cw:cted with salutary elicct. , The Loßn CHANCELLOTt coincided 'trait the scn tinients 'expresser.) by his Learned Friend (Lord B.) respecting the ge4erid 13111 of last Se4Bi6ll, and of one or two points took rather a detailed view, evincing the impracticabilny of the Bill, as at present framed ; and lie wai favourable, under the circnmsl anees, to the expedient of a temporury Insolvent Bill, Lord liciti.Bl.46 31tortly spoke in explanation, and in reference c,iietiy to a-hat had taken pla ce in the. douse on (Omer occasions' upon the sub ject. The petition was then ordered to lie on the table, miusn OF COMNIONS. Mr. P.

For the relief of the sufiering Clergy and Laity of France, 119,5001. On this grant being proposed, Mr. WHITBREAD said he wished to take dust opportunity of men-• tioniug - the case of a Mr. Renouet, who had held the situation of Mayor of Toulon when that. city was evacuated, and who had beer,, a. great. sufferer on the occasion. He had tat first received a pen sion from :Naples, but no the irruption of the French int o , that country, he had retired to this, where he at first only received the relief of one. - shilling per day, which was afterwards on appli cation increased to 100/. a-year. Both lie and his wife' were now very ohl, and had only this pit tance for their support, though General O'Hara, Sir D. Militias, and •Lrird ilobd, who were pre. sent at the evacuatiou of Toulon, had testified t Mr. ltenouet's services 'were faithful and use ful oo that occasion, and that he had conducted himself in the. most exemplary manner. All the representatiOns, hOwCver, made to the Treasury • in his behalf had been ineffectual. He , was ore who wished for some. intpdry into the distribtt,- tion of this large suin g especially as a suspicion boil gone forth that it 'was not distributed accord ing to the merits and wants of rite individuals who were its objects. His wish, however, in the present instate, was merelitorecOntmend the ease he had mentioned to the farther consideratioU of the Treasury. • The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, he thought . that the case now alluded to had come under the consideration of his predetesiors in. office, and under all the circumstances; it bad not been thought proper to' increase the allowanee. There could be no objection to make futtlier'in `nuirlesrinto the merits of the ease, -but he..vas sure that the House could not with -advantage take into its own hands an inquiry into the claims of these refugees, Some of them, .on their first arrival in this country; had received more liberal succours than' it was afterwards found possible to confer on others,. in consequence of the numbers that came over, It wils the wish of Government, to avoid, as much as possible, the entailing of a: heavy 'burden on the country. Mr. WHITBREAD said, in explanation, tbßt . he had no wish for the interference of Parliament in this particular case ; but having been personally applied to by Mr, Renouet, and thinking it.a case of . considerable hardship, he %viShed to draw to it the attention of the l'reosoi.y. The CHAKCELLOR of the'Excurc,urn explained. : We understood him to state, that a Mr. Howard waiappointed to examine all the applications of the emigrants, and that, as it could hardly he sup posed! that he had any undue partialities, .his re port %vas generally considered to be final. There was . however, a general revision of the grants to individuals every six menths The grants next moved were, • For the St. Domingo sufferers, 80001. For the relief of Dutch Emigrant9,.:3sool. For ToulOnese and C.trlicanEinigrants, 11,5001. For Aineriean Loyali,is, 0,0001. • For French F.utigrants iu JerSey and Guernsey, 2,: , 701. All the -above grantS were for the year 1814. 7%11, A aatiTinktoT concluded with moving, that five millions be gruweil for paying off Exchequer Bills to the same amount, raised' by an ACt of laSt Session.

The House went into a Committee of Wayi and The CUANcEt.l.prt of the l'ex'Clliat.lP,ll then rose to state the terms on which the Loan •had been that day contracted for. fie beLtau by mention ing. the supplies whichilad been already vc,frti, or hich were likely to he required before the Chriit- Was recess. Of these, eleven millions been already' voted lot the naval service,_ five f or paying off Exchequer Bills issued under an Act of last Session, and another 'sum of six mil lions would he•recluilite for army, services, making in the whole 22,000,G00/. The way in Which it had been thought most expedient to meet these supplies, vvi l s by Loan ; and accordingly, th it morning a Loan bad been contracted for to the amount of twenty-rw9 tuiliious. As,-however, it Lund been an unusual practice - in our financial system, to make a new Loan while the payment of the preceding was only pending, awl not yet com pleted. it Might be necessary to ear 1.,,,, ,sc meat to :1:lopt ;Irisentit.st'n At. the slaw brit the Loan wAS !wide, in June lao, it was ~ the eoutraetari, thz , .t though Goveraiiient `cleietl it probable that it woo:d he suilieleat service of the year, yet they would 00' 1. deell' selves precluded,from rt:isir.g.ti Itirthers'llii , circionstairee render it expedient. :But the (Inure of the.Cottittry, in V.e Mt erfal, havit greater than was then contemplatetlit was r on the uporoach of the 'riveting ::fl'arlittioa ( a ir L e i t t: i t , l i t st s o v i o: c tu e lt s l .tibleuineerce::ll:ircy tll, f ~.i; iatl.aso,,itt-tti ) tvti e • v;ere highly favourable to public credit... true, that a large stint might have been r;L the funding of Exchequer ,Bills, AS hail been the pr;aetice before Chi•i,tulas ; but 1 was to be considered, that the favourable si public credit; by atlractitu4 large sines funds, rendered Exchequer Bills it l es s may ,t commodity, and Made it ittOre dii.i:eult to 1 of them.
