Cou were heard at considerable length relative to the Scotch Appeal, Sir ROEEKT Pit WON, Bart. v. the Earl of DoNnoN Am) and others, namely, Mr. ADAM and Mr. GILLII.S for the Appellant. After which ,their Lordships deferred the further hearing of the Case till to-morrow. Immediately after Counsel had retired from the Bar, a conversation rook place betweeen the Earl of Alo IRA and Lord GRENVILLE, principally on the subject of the measures taken with respect to the son of the late Nabob of Arcot it arose from the former Peer's reminding the House that he had not long since called the attention of their Lord ships to the subject, intimating at the same time, an intention , he had entertained of bringing for ', ;trd a Motion upon the st:Lje6t. On /his point, we understood the Noble Earl to say, that hearing dispatches from India were shortly expefted, he :vas induced to postpone his intended proposition.-- Z i the beginning of the conversation, both their •-r:orttships were scarcely audible, but the interference of Lord GRENVILLE apparently arose from what the Noble Earl asserted to be a misunderstanding, namely, that something had fallen from him which implicated of affened the charaCter of two Noble Lords (we believe the Marquis WELLEst.E.v. and Lord Ct. tvE), and under which impression Lord GRENVILLE observed he held it his duty to come forward, and aecoidingly he spoke in vindication of their Lordships. The Earl of AfOIR A expressed his regret that such an idea had been started, as nothing which had fallen from him went to implicate the personages in question, except, indeed, the Noble Lord spoke from loose opinions stated in Newspapers : the Noble Earl then made a variety of observations on the measures which had been adopted on the affair in question, and explained the way in which he had come fcrward on the subject on a former day. He deprecated any thing which might go to prejudge it : lie concluded by repeating, that nothing which he said, went to throw an oblique stain upon the charaners in the contemplation of the Noble Lord. Lord GRENVILLE, in the course of his expla nation, observed, that either with regard to the justice of the case, or with a reference to the Cha, raciers of the two Noble Personages alluded to, he also wished the case might not be prejudged, but that the conduct of the Noble Earl should be imi tated in suspending further observations thereon un til the fads were fully before the Public, and the Douse; and that no other impression should be made but what should arise from a fair discussion, pro ceeding from a thorough knowledge of the fads and circumstances of the case. On the Motion of Lord WALL3INGHAM, leave was granted to His Royal Highness the DUKE of CL,RENCE to attend the Committee of the House of Coma - tons; on Dr. Jenner's Petition, respecting the Vaccine Inoculation. A second conversation took place between Lord GRENVILLE and Lord PELxAtvt, respecting, chiefly, the point "of arrangement, with respect to time, for - the diseussion of the Definitive Treaty :—ir pro ceeded from the former Peer's wishing to know at irai period, as nearly as the Noble Secretary of Siate was then able to fix, the Noble Lord thought the Definitive Treaty would be presented to the House.llis Lordship took occasion to observe, upon the peculiar nature and importance of.the pre. sent Treaty of Peace, and adverted to what had been the pray ice with reeped to the discussion of former Treaties. He hoped that Ministers would not press a speedy decision with respect to the pre sent Definitive Treaty,' which involved considera tions of the first magnitude, and numerous details of the utmost importance—Las not only the interests of the British Empire, -in Europe, were deeply af feded, but in her Colonial, and, particularly, in her Possessions in • India :—He hoped also, that the necessary doctiments, for the purpose of af fording their Lordships an adequate degree of information on subjects of such importance, would he laid before the House. With a reference to one of the prominent considerations of the sub jed in a commercial point of view, his Lordship particularly wished for the production of a docu ment, but which he did not then intend to move for, setting forth the quantity of logwood and ma hogany imparted from the Bay of Honduras into Great Britain and her Colonies- from the year 1786 to the present period. Lord PLLHAM who was, as well as Lord GRENVILLE, Iwo or three times on his feet in the course of the conversation, observed, with re_ sped to the query of the latter, and as we under stood the Noble Lord, that the arrival of the Rati fication of the Treaty was not expeted earlier, than would enable Ministers to lay it before the House pre viously to the first Monday after the Easter Recess. This, as his Lordship after wards explained, he exped ed w be on Monday fortnight, With respea to what had fallen from the Noble Lord in the way of argu ment, he should, as it wa3 obviously irregular, and foreign to any thing then before the House, abstain from following him: With respeet to the informa tion required, we understood the Noble Secretary to say, that what Ministers conceived to be pro. per or necessary for the due illustration of the sub jed, should be laid before the House. At the same time, it was open to any Noble Lord to move for such Dbcuments as he should think proper. With respect: to that particularly adverted to by the Noble Lord in the present instance, he seemed to conceive there was no objection to the production of such an Account. The Bills upon the Table were then forwarded in their respeCtive stages, and the consideration of one of the Standing Orders, which stood for this evening, was postponed. A number of Private Bills brought up by dif ferent Gentlemen from the Commons, were then read a first time, after which the House adjourned till to-morrow. HOUSE 'OF COMMONS, THURSDAY, APRIL 8. • Sir WILL! AM SCOTT brought up the Clergy Non- gni deuce Bill. It was react a first time, and ordered wbe read a second time to-morrow. The Parish Apprentice Bill was brought up, and after a short conversation between Sir WILLIAM ELFORII t and Mr. WILBRAHAM BOOT,LE, was ordered to be engrossed. LOAN 811.1 Mr. N. VANSITTART moved the Order of the. Day on the Loan Bill.. It was read a second time, and ordered to a Committee of the whole Hous..e to-morrow. • The Bill for certain Duties on Servants, Carriages, Dogs and Horses was,read a first title. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that he had reconsidered the case of servants ailing as journeymen, and at the same time as menial servants. He was convinced that they afforded a fair criterion of the wealth of their masters, and were therefore a fair objet for taxa tion: , Mr. M. A. TAYLOR had no objeftion to taxes on servants of whatever description, and no man should be readier than himself to give a fair return on this head. But he wished to state to the House a considerable grievance in the present mode of colleding these taxes. Gentlemen who usually re sided 't a particular place, but .had an occasional residence at another place, for a month or two of the year, were in danger of being charged with the duty at. both places. The Tax-office, indeed, whin applied to, had never refused redress, but this redress was attended with many obstacles and much delay. If the Gentleman thus surcharged happened to be at the distance of ,zoo or 300 miles from one of the places, he will rather submit to the imposition than put himself to the trouble and expence of travelling so many miles, without which he cannot have redress, rls personal attendance, to give his oath, is requisite. Mr. N. VANSJTTART observed, that this would require a separate bill of regulation. The Bill was then ordered to be read a second time to-morrow. Mr. TIERNEY observed, that there-were some things in the proposed alterations in the Sinking Fund which he did not properly understand. Several calculations would requtie to be produced in order to elucidate the subject. He did not comprehend how the four millions were to be made out, nor how the Short Annuities were to be disposed of. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that the Hon. Gentleman had only anticipated what he himself intended to propose. He wished, above all things, to produce the calculation to the House, but he did not see how it could properly be done. The calculations of an individual could not well be produced as the foundation of a Resolution of the House. When the former Bills were passed in 1786 and 1792, no calculations were required. In order, however, to give all imaginable Satis faaion, he intended to move the consideration of the Bill on Tuesday, then to produce the calcula tions, if required, to. have the Bill printed, and allow the affair to undergo the examination of- the Members, during the holidays. The objet. of his plan was to consolidate the Sinking. Fund. and the Public Debts. At a given period, perhaps 0398, when it was supposed four millions would remain in the hands of the Commissioners for liquidating the National Debt, iie wished that the interest of these four millions should be continually-added; and• whoie be applied' to liquidate the debt, instead of be: )g diverted to the extinetion - of taxes. The 500,0001, which was expeeted. in 1808 to revert from the Short Annuities, he 'want• to leave at the discretion of Parliament, to be applied, if they thought proper, to the extinaion of taxes. The calculation proves, that in less than forty-five years the whole National Debt will be extinguished. He wished to give every Gentleman the completest satisfaftion on the subject, and he thought the me thod he proposed the most ef f icacious for this pur pose.—He then moved that the Bill he taken into consideration next Tuesday, which was agreed to. The Bill for additional Duties orrWindow Lights, was read a second time, and ordered to be com mitted to-morrow in a Committee of the whole House. The Beer and Ale Bill was read a second time, and was ordered to be committed to-morrow. The Corn Trade Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed to-morrow. The 'House then went into a Committee on the Woolwich Lands' Bill. The Report was ordered to be received to-morrow. Mr. CORRY presented several Estimates and Ac counts with regard to the Irish Finances.—Ordered to lie on the Table. The House then went into a Committee on the POOR's BILL. Mr. OSBORNE moved, that it should be an in strudiou to the Committee, to amend the Clause of the Ad of James I. which ordered such women as brought bastards on the parish to be imprisoned for a year. Mr. BUXTON thought it should be made to fall on women in general, and not on the poor only. Mr. SIMEON deprecated clogging the Bill with a Repeal of any Att. Lord SHEFFIELD said he had been a witness to such cases for thirty years, and never saw the Law put in execution, except in notorious aggra vated cases, where the offence had been repeated two or three times, Mr. ELLISON spoke to the same effea.. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw. We understand, however, that the Motion for the In strudion was negatived without a Division. On being re-admitted to the Gallery, we found the House in a Committee on the Bill. Sir WILLIAM YOUNG said that no Amend ment could reconcile him to it, as he thought every clause objeaionable,. Mr. Sim EON replied in support of the Bill. ' Mr. STURGES observed that the Hon. MOver had said he admitted nothing into the Bill which tended to counteral former laws; yet he could not but think it did so fundamentally, by transferring the care of the Poor from respectable householders who aced gratuitously, to Officers who were to receive remuneration. Mr. SIMEON in reply, observed that the Hon. Gentleman seemed to have mistaken the ()Ned of the Bill, as the respedable h0u5eh0.4 4 .4,5, were, still a;9osidered as the Overseers of the 'oor. But as many of them, from the pressure of their private affairs, had not time to attend to public business, "the Bill enabled them A for the more cffedual tare of the Poor, to chuse a man . of experience to 3s - sis i them in the management. He was to h ave a salary to encourage the discharge of ,his duty, and be was to be chosen annually. After,a few Swords from Mr. STURGES , and Mr. DICKENS, the Bill passed the Committee, a nd the Report was ordered to be received in-imediately.---- The Bill wasbrought up by Mr. SHAW LEFEI/4.E) and ordered to be taken into consideration, on Thuriday the 6th of May. It was orderedto b e printed. Mr. COREY moved for Certain EstiMates fa, widening the streets of Dublin." They were present ed immediately, and ordered to be' laid on the Table.. The House adjourned at six o'clock. 'THE SUN.
