HOUSE OF LORDS--Ticoilucr, June 5. About a quarter after four o'clock prayers were read, and soon after, their Lordships proceeded to forward tLe Bills upon the Table. Among these, the Irish Defence Act Repeal Bill, and the Locome Tax Bill, were severally read a second time, and committed for to-morrow. On the latter measure, no observation was made, nor objeCtion off :red to its progress. ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE IN SCOTLAND. Rsrl SPENCER acquainted the (louse, he should have to ninve, in consequence of , he una. voidable absence of a Noble Friend. (I.nrd Gren ville) still detained by indisposition, for the dis charge of die order for summoning their Lordships for float day, relative to the consideration of certain resolutions his Noble Friend had iidended to move, respeCting the Administration 441ustice in Scotland. _ . to ,bble fretted to ; which was immediately complied with on the part of the House. The Noble Earl then said, he should propose an order for summoning the House fit a similar pnr pose upon Friday se'nnight, then, should it be found to interfere with any of the important busi ness before she House, it could be nitl farther post poned. The Lords were then ordered to be summoned for Friday the 13th inst. A number of private Bills were brought up from the Commons by Sir G. Cornewall, Mr Main- Waring, Mr. Fellowes, Hon Mr. Lygon and other Gentlemen, and severally read a first time. Mr. Fawkener. Clerk of the Privy Council, ap peared at- the Bar, and presented Copies of the Orders of Council, under certain Atis of the King, respelling the opening of the Port of Tortola, etc. which were ordered to lie on the table. The Duke of MON TROST. observed, that in order to enable their Lordships still farther to appre ciate the importance of the subjeEt to which the Tortola Free Port Bill, then before the House, re ferred, he should move for the produaion of an Account of the Exports from Great Britain, to the Island of Dominica, from the year 1747 to 1792, both inclusive. His Grace having moved to this effed, the docu ments were ordered to he produced accordingly. It was ordered, on the motion of Lord AVAL SINGHAVI, that the order for the futiher consi deration of the case of Mr. Justice Fox, the attend ance of the witnesses, &c. oa to-morrow, be dis charged ; and a similar order made for their attend ance on Wednesday next. The Irish Revenue Collation Bill, and the Irish Malt Duty Bill, were read a third time and passed ; and messages sent to acquaint the Commons there with. CASE OF VISCOUNT MELVILLE. The Order of the Day for resuming the d:scus sion on this subject being read, the strangers, as usual, were ordered to withdraw, and their Lord ships continued in close deliberation on the same, until 12 o'clock. In this interval, the Learned Judges, who were previously in attendance, deli. vt.red their opinions upon the law points referred to them, and retired about seven o'clock. The House continued in debate until the above hour. The discussions, we understand. were ordered to be resumed this day; and, at Twelve o'Clock, the House adjourned. NOUSE. OF COMMONS. D. Davenport, Esq. took the oaths and his seat for the county of Chester, in the room of Mr. Eger ton, the late Member. Accounts were presented of the balances in the hands of of the Colleaors of Excise in Scoland and of the disbursements for Langston Harbour, near Portsmouth.—Ordered to lie on the Table. Mr. Meal. from the India House, presented Copies of the Papers relative to the Rajah of Sassy. Ordered to be printed. Mr. Vansittart brought in a bill for abolishing the Fees of the Officers of Cu•tnms in the port of London, which was read a fi•sr time, and ordered to be read a second time on Wednesday next. The consideration of the Report of the Irish Mi litia Service Bill was deferred to Monday. The Irish Malt and Spirit Duty Bill was read a second time, and committed for to-morrow. The House having resolved itself into a Commit tee on the Acts relating to the Distilleries in Scot land, Mr. lit-bhouse in the Chair, Mr. VANSIT FAR l' stated, that the regula tions he had to propose, were rut only such as would prove beneficial to the Revenue, but also such as were agreeable to the distillers themselves. Atter a few observations on the subject. he moved " that the Acts, now in force, do cease anddetermine," which being agreed to, he moved several additimal Resolutions, which were read, pro forma, by the Chairman, and the Report •tdered to be received to-morrow. '1 he second reading of the Thread Lace sill was deferred till Monday. Tilt Dublin Paving Bill was committed.—Re port to.mortow. Mr. I.OSTER moved for an account of the quantity of corn, bread, meal, and flour, exported and imported from Great Britain and Ireland, and Ireland aiid Great Britain, for the last twelve years ; the duties, drawbacks, with the average prices, &c. which was agreed in. INDIA ArtfraltS. Viscount CAS 11.P.REAGH moved for an Es trad of a Letter from the Sec let Committee of the Vast India Company, as far as relates to the Affairs of Onde, dated the 4th of Dec. 1804.—Ordered. Mr. PAUL observed, that in a former order for Copies of the Correspondence with the several Se cretaries on °Us subjed, there were no less than thirteen omissions. He therefore moved, " that a full return be made forthwith." Viscount CAS ELEREAGH said, he did not mean to object to the motion, but to state,that the late Board of Controul, in a parliatueutary sense, were not stridly parties, nor responsible for these omis sions. The only part they meta io withhold, con , sisted of some letters from Scindia, which were not ' necessary for the purpose they were moved for. rnese I.:.ters were five in number, and there were four or five elisions, which were marked in the mar gin, as some of the paragraphs were separate mat ters, and contained to the papers already on the Table, which he should point out, when they came under discussion. As for the rest, they left it with their successors, to ad .according to their own views of the sullied. Viscount MORPETH said, he had no objeetion to the produdion of the papers, it the Hon. t,en tle man thought them necessary to his charge. but owing to some accident, there were a tew letters not found in the office, and others. were of a private nature, respediog tne private charader of the Nabob. Viscount CASTLF.REAGH said, that it was not the fault of the late Board, it the papers were not found, as they were left in the hands of the Private Secretary. Mr. PAUL observeJ, that every one must know sf the existence of the papers, as they were referred to in the dispatches of the Marqui:. Corn• waliii. He did not know that they referred to the prime char-.n' er of the Nabob, and even if they did, it WAS froper that they shouid be before the house. For Ms even part, he had less connetinn with that Prince than rrlia a any other niemb‘ r tit that house, but he was convinced that the Nabob aid not eves; know of the treaty to which he Mtas made a party, and that a more corred, and dignified condua was never shewn by any Euro pean Prince, than was disdlayed, till liar,!ship and oppvession had driven him to cour_es st:lich ae adopted in order to kill care. Sir AR CHU R WELLESI.E? said, , that though the produnion of the papers would be fa vourable to the cause of the Noble Marquis, be thought the publication of what merely related to the Na'bob's private eharnaer, improper, as it might have a tendency to injure him in his own country. Alter some farther uninteresting conversation, the rnotinn was agreed to. Sir.IOIIN SINCLA IR moved "theta Committee be appointed to consider the law now in force re spet".ng broad-wheeled carriages on the high roads in Scot Lind, and to report such improvements 2$ should seem fit to them, to the liouse."...Ordered. CITARGh AGAISST MAGQIJ;s as/FLLESI.E.T. . Mr. PAUL moved, tt that the House should, on Tuesday next, the 10th of June, take into consider ation the charges against the Marquis Wellesley, respelling the transaCtions in Oude.' The SPEAKF.R observed, that as an order was upon the books for taking it into consideration on a later day, according to the established rules of the House, it may be postponed, but not accelerated. Mr. PAUL submitted, that he gave notice of this motion before that order was made. The SPEAKER sai ' it was tri• the judgment of the House whether secl7 a question could be put. Mr. Secretary FOX thought it was Mr. PAUL then said, he had on objefli.in io the charge and the examination of wiinessiis ta'ke place on the 18th ; and moved. 't that John Lord Tynm .uth de attend the House on that day." Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY suggested, that the witnesses might be examined on Tuesday, and the discussion take place on ‘Vedneld ay, the 18th. The object of fixing that time was, that the House should then come to a vote upon it. His great wish was, that the decision should not. under pre tence of examining evidence, be prolonged beyond the present Session. Mr. Secretary FOX observed, thit whatever the inconvenience may he, the House had no alter native, but to proceed according to its usage. He knew of no way in which these forms could be al tered ; written evidence might be laid on the table at any time, but oral evidence must be beard when the subjeS was before them; and he wished the Hon. Gentleman, Mr. Paul, not to, deceive himself, nor to suppose that the House, in agreeing to make an order for the attendance of witnesses, was bound to hear them, as an opposition might be made on the question, that they be called in. Mr. PAUL observed, that there was no instance of any one engaged in a busine's of this kind, who proceeded with the tame rapidity that he did. He was convinced, that the examination of the witnesses would require no great length of time. Mr. FRANCIS did not think the receiving of evidence equivalent to taking it into consideration. He thought the one might story properly precede the other. Mr. Secrets; FOX replied, that in the forms of the House, shire was a great difference between written and oral evidence, as the latter cowl only be examined es to the matter immediately under consideration. Mr. PAUL then moved for the attendance of the following list of witneves : —Sir Alined Clarke, Sir James Craig, Lieut. Colonel Baines, Major- General St. John, William Wright, Esq. Colonel Robert Strachey, and Colonel Alexander„Psid. Sur HENRY STRACHEY olsserved, that the officer last mentioned bnt one, was at present under orders for India, and therefore it his evidence was thought necessary, he hoped that he may he ex amined in such time as would not interfere with Ms orders. _ Mr. PAUL said, that though he was a proper witness, as having been Private Secretary during a part oethese trausaElions, for the reasons gated by the Hon. Member, he should not press that part of his motion. The other witnesses were then ordered to attend. Mr. PAUL then moved for an account of the IA Regiment of European Infantry, and the payments made to them Erma 0 loher 179%, to August 179;). Ditto of Artillery. Ditto of Bengal Cavalry. Ditto of Native Infantry. Ditto of Eth Regiment of Eu ropean Infantry ; of the aftual strength of Native Cavalry ; and the charges for bullocks during the same per iod.--Ordered. Mr. FOS moved the 2d reading of the Irish Linen Drawbacks Bill ; but, at the request of Mr. May, agreed to postpone it till Monday. CORN INTERCHANGE. Sir JOHN NEWPORT moved the Order of the Day for the House to resolve itself into a Com mittee of the whole House. to consider of a mo tion, for le.tve to bring in a Bill to permit the free interchange of every species of rain between Great Britain and Ireland. which being read and agreed to, the House resolved itself into the said Committee (Mr. Hobhousc in the Chair). Mr. FOSTER begged to know of the night Honourable Baronet. how it was proposed the prices should be regulated. Sir J. NEWPORT answered, the export prices, with rega'd to foreign countries, were already regu lated by law ; and as to the prices between the two countries, they must be regulated according to the markets. Mr. FOSTER said, that as the Right Hon. th ronet did not seem fully to undc:::and the reason and nature of his question, he would ex:slain his meaning more at length. He knew very well the prices with tespeet to toreigu countries were already iced and settled, but there would, in his opinion, re main a vety considerable difficulty as to the prices between tke two countries.— lb. prices in England were regulated by an average of 12 districts.—ln Ireland, by the average of the whole kingdom.—ln Scotland he understood the average was regulated by that of England ; which would create so great a difference, as to require no inconsiderable degree of care and consideration to adjust, in such a manner its not to create discontents and jealousies. He wi.hed,however,that the measure might he adopted, And that it might prove highly bene fi cial to the whole Empire. He would therciore suggest, thst the prices of the two countries slAnald he throen, into one mass, and an tte cluck from the whole. Something of this kind would he abaidinely necessary, and he threw out those hints. that the Right Hon. Baronet might turn them in his mind, and the matter may be snore ripe for due considera tion when the Bill came into aco injure. Mr. WESPERN said, he would he glad to is. a measure of this kind adopt d, 'hough it would be a considerable boon to Ii -land. Two years a p t when the general Corn B;11 was so long under the consideration of the Elonse. considerable attention had been riven respeain: Leland ; bur there was not then time to e.ner lady into tie subj.a. He would, however, s do every thing is his power to render the Bill advaorageous to the whole empire. Sir J. NEWPORT endowed that the Bill woad, in some degree, be a hoon to Ireland ; bat at the same time it was to be recniteted. that Ireland was one of the best customers, and grea:esi encouragers . of the various mantif.aures of England. As to the averages, and other matters of detail, th e y would be best considered whim the Bill came to a Committee. After a few words from Lord A. HAMILTON, delivered in so low a tone, that we could not stis tin&ty hear him, the Chairman was' crdered to ' more - for leave th bring in a Bi'l ; the Heose was then termed, the report re s ieivad, and HOBHOUdE moved for leave to bring in a Bill to permit Cie- flee interchange of every species of grain Iretw.:eu Great Britain and Irelands Gi sated. uttsri POST ROAD BILL' Mr. FOSTER sail, he hoped toere would be no obje.ftion to the Irish II ist Road Amendmea Bill being read a second time to-day; and he would leave it to the Right lion. Baronet to fie the day when it thnuli go torn a Committee. Sir J. NEWPORT said, it was the wi.l of His Majesty's G“verianent to Lave the cpininas of many Gentlem en is Ireland on this suhjec.. He had seat a copy of the Bill to Ireland, with a re. qui'st of an answer as speedily as possible. He thought, therefore, Monday se night the Bill might be committed. Mr. M , NAGHTEN thought Monday eon. night would be too long, and hoped a shorter day w..uld be fired. Fai PER pi 'posed, Ora tliiJ shy selonight should be died, ui,Lic: a coatidence, that if the answers from Ireland did nut arrive time enough to receive due consideration before that day, that it should be postponed to Monday se'nnight. Sir J. NEWPOR r said, that under stn:h a confi dence he had no objection. Tha Bill IV as • has read a second time, and ordered to be committed on this day sennight. Mr. HOBHOUSF. said, it remiti haste been his wish to have moved ti.e Arc , 041 rra4ing of the Nabob of Arcot's Bill this day; but as several Gentlemen, fir whose opinions h 1 had the highest respect, and who wished to be present,. cou'd not nnw attend ; and a; he was desismas the H.II ihould have the !nest ample oiscoseien, he w mid, with toe lease of the Noose, posipone the sewn i reading to this day •sennight, which was Accordmgiy or. dered.
