Rev. Vol. 3t. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF PEERS, MONDAY, FEB. TS. THEIR Lordships heard Counsel in continuation, relative to the ,Scots Appeal, Sir Wm. AUGUSTUS CUNNINGHAM, Bart. &c. V. HIGGINS and others, namely, Mr. ERSKINE at considerable length as leading Counsel for the Respondents : The further consideration of the case was deferred till Wednes day. Lord PELHAM presented a Message from His MAJESTY, relative to the State of the Civil List, similar to that sent down to the House of Commons, and for a detailed Report of which, we refer to the Proceedings of that House; its general substance ~ vas a Communication to their Lordships, that the Provision made by Parliament, having become in adequate to the support of His Majesty's Civil Establishments and Household, a considerable debt had been unavoi(iAbly incurred thereon ; that His MAJESTY had given diredions that Accounts rela tive to the same be laid before their Lordships, on whose readiness to concur in the necessary Measures, &c. HIS MAJESTY relied with confidence. Lord PELHAM then moved, that His Majesty's Message be taken into consideration on Monday the 22d inst. and that their Lordships be summoned for that day, Th Duke,,of .NORFOLK expressed his wish to know whether it was intended to lay before the House, certain papers, the prodution of which, he thought necessary to enable their Lordships fully to understand the subjed—such as the particulars of the debt incurred, and specifying the same under distin& heads ; a specification of the Funds out of which the charges were to be paid, &c. Lord PELHAM" observed,- the House would re collea, that in His Majesty's Message, it was ex prBsly stated, that Accounts relative to the Debts in question, would be laid before the House : when these Accounts were _before their Lordships, any thing which may be , unsatisfadory might then be regularly explained. The question was .then put, :ma the Message was ordered to be taken into consideiation on Monday next, and their Lordships summoned on that day accordingly. _ _ _ . ' Some routine business was then disposed of, azd the House adjourned till to-morrow. ROUSE OF COMMONS, MONDAY, FEB. I. A new Writ was ordered for the Borough of Hey tesbury, in the County of Wilts, in the room of the Right Hon. Lord Viscount CLIFDEN, now Lord MENDIP, called up to the 'House of Peers. A new Writ was also ordered for the Borough of East Looe, in the County of Cornwall, in the room of the Right Hon. Sir JoHN Myrroßn. Knt. now Lord REDESDALE, called up to the House of Peers. BOOKSELLERS AND PRINTERS. Mr. SHAW LEFEYRE said, he held in his hand a Petition signed by upwards of zoo Book sellers and Printers of the Cities of London and Westtninster. They stated, that by the addi tional duties upon Paper, their trade 1 - had been ciaierially injured, that from the peculiar cireum, Stances in which they were placed, these, duties fell immediately upon their capital, and but very slowly Upon the Public ; that they were obliged to print a great number of .copies of every Work when the Press was s et up, a n d co ns eq uent ly to , lay out large sums of money, whilst the copies, thus printed, might not probably be sold for six or seven years, or perhaps not at all, and that if in consequence of the very heavy ex - pence, they printed a smaller num ber of Copies, the price of each Copy must then,be increased, and the demand would of course be ma terially. diminished. Thus far relative to the home Trade. With respeet to the Export Trade, if what was stated in the Petition was correct, and the Peti tioners were ready to prove their assertions before any Committee which the House should please to appoint, the Export Trade was nearly annihilated ; and it was a serious filet, that Editions of the best British Authors had been printed abroad and sold for half the price at which they could be afforded here, allowing a very moderate profit to the Book seller. Under these circumstarrces they prayed for a repeal of these additional Duties, or such other re lief as die House should think proper. He con cluded by moving for leave to bring up the Pe tition. On the Question being put, leave was given. Mr. SHAW LEFEvRE brought up the Petition, and after it had .been read by the Clerk,. moved that it should lie on the Table. • The CHANCELL9R cf. the EXCHEQUER said, he by no means wished to o: , je& - to the Motion of his Hon. Friend, and he hoped his Hon. Friend would tOLlow it up in such a way that the subjea might become a matter of discussion in that House. He was fully aware that the Booksellers and Print ers of the 'Cities of London and Westminster la boured under great difficulties and disadvantages, which he thought were fairly stated in the Petition. He doubted, however, how far the remedy suggest ed by the Petitioners would tend to lessen the evils of which they complained ; .be was sure, however, the House would 'be desirous of affording them every pradicable relief. He thought it unnecessary to say more upon the subjea at present, further than to hope that his* Hon. 'Friend would put it in that train in which 4 might come regularly before the House as a matter for discussion. Mr. SHERIDzIN said, he had opposed the duties which were now the subjea of compldint at the rime they were brought forward, and believed he was almost the only person who did oppose them. He was convinced then, as he was now, that those dutieS were of the most injurious tendency; and lie hoped the Hon;Oentleman who had presented tile Petition, would not fail to bring the subjed for ward on an early day. If the duties Were not re 'pealed,- 'the Export Trade must be. entirely anni 'Whited. He thought it a 04barous t;is, 03 it struck direilly at the very roots of Literature. The trade in books to America and to France, as well as other parts of the world, was already nearly at an end. He understood that no less than six edi tions of Shakespeare were now printing at P a ris, which could be afforded to be sold at half the prices for which they could be printed here; and if these duties were continued, there was every .season to believe that the Export Trade would - fel nsirely into the h3oris of France, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, he before stated his doubts whether the re medy suggested in the Petition would obviate the evil of which the Petitioners complained. He was convinced,- however, that those difficulties and dis advantages of which they complained, do not grow out of the tax in question, though they might in some degree be increased by it. He was persuaded, on the contrary, that those difficulties.and disad vantages arose from other causes, and not from the ati of last Session. Mr. SHAW LEFEI"RE said, he had intended merely to move that the Petition should lie on the Table, but in consequence of what had fallen from his Right Hon. Friend, he should now give notice, that he would move on Monday next that it should be referred to the consideration of a Committee. The Petition was then ordered to lie on the Table. MESSAGE FROM THE KING. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER presented a Message from His Majesty, which was, nearly as fbllow:i G. R. " His MAJEsry feels great concern in acquainting the House of Commons, that the provision made by Parliament for defraying the Expenses of his Household and Cival Esta blishment, has been found inadequate for their support, and that a considerable Debt has been unavoidably incurred, an Account of which His MAJESTY has given .. direaians to be laid before Parliament. His MAJESTY relics with confi dence on the zeal and affeaion of his Faithful Commons, to .take the same into their early consideration, and to adopt such measures as the same may appear to them to require." The CHANCELLOR of • the EXCHEQUER said, he should do nantore at present than what had been uniformly done ilpon similar occasions, namely, to move , that His Majesty's Message should be re ferred to thc Committee of Supply. He took, how ever, this opportunity of stating that he should to morrow• have the honour of laying before the House several Papers relative to the'Dcbts of the Civil List, and that he should on Wednesday move for a Selea Committee to take the same into their con sideration, and report the same, with their observa tions thereon, to 'the House. His Majesty's Message was then ordered to be referred to the Committee of Supply nem. con. PRIVILEGE. Lord FOLKESTONE said, he would trespass upon the indulgence of the House for a few mo ments, to recall to their attention a subject which, it would be recolleEted, he had thought it his duty to bring forward on Friday last. He had then stated what appeared to him to be a gross breach of their Privileges, but he had not then thought proper to proseL-i.tc r,t,j,ct, and for• two rea sons : the one was, that he hoped some Gentleman better qualified than himself would have under taken it ; the other was, the hopes he entertained that the persons conneded with this kind of publication, would have taken the hint from the observations which he then made. In both these hopes he had been disappointed. With regard to the first, he found that there was a degree of delicacy which prevented other Gentleme n bet ter qua lifi e d than himself from bringing forward the s u bj e Ct. In the second hope he had been disappointed, but in a different way, and it was with great surprize that le found in the same Paper of the next day, in stead of an apology, a justification of their con ha, on grounds in which they claimed the right of doing it as the right Alf Englishmen. The Pri vileges of the House were now come to an issue, and the question .now stood on a different ground. He conceived that if no notice had been taken of it, people' might have supposed, that the House had overlooked their conclude but now that notice had been taken of and these persons had at tetnptato justify their condud, 'he thought it was necessary . ; in defence of the Privilege which. the House had always claimed and maintained, to pro ceed farther. He therefore proposed t o mo v e a resolution upon the subjed, and he believed the regular wny upon such occasions was to give in the Paper to be read at the Table, af ter w hi c h he should make a motion upon the subjcd. Lord SHEFFIELD moved that the Gallery should be cleared, Strangers then withdrew, and we understand that Mr. SPlrx DAN moved the Order of the Day, which was proceeded to by the House. Adjourned at five o'clock till to-morrow. THE SUN. SOLI M QUIS DICERE'FALSUM AUDEAT ? LONDON, PEBRUARY 16, 1802.
