What the state of the country wits with resped to the Continent of Europe was long known ; and they had to consider its situation with respeet to .America, a situation hs would not then consider how created ; but the consideration of their being in a state of pending war with that most calamitous of all quarters, should, in his opinion, teach them the de gree of hope the country had of supply from that quarter. It was, in every view, therefdre, necessary that Ministers shoulti have speedily taken steps to preclude any pendina evils in the way of scarcity.— With his Noble Friend he was of opinion, that every possible encouragement should be afforded to the agricultural interests of the couniry, and the more so, with reference to aaual and pending circum stances. His Lordship also adverted to the state of riot and disorder into which one of the most popu lons and important 'distriets of. the country was for sonic time plunged, without any adequate stepS, in his opinion, being taken by Ministers to put a stop to the evils ; evils which, if not timely attended to, aiid averted, may lead to scenes of outrage and of plunder, nay to acts of rebellion. Though he re tained all his former sentiments upon the subjects with which the till was connected, and attributed whatever evils may be apprehended in that respect, to the conduct of his Majesty's Minssters, he would not, under the circumstances, oppose the Bill. Earls LAUDERDALE and. BATHURST "respectively spoke in explanation, and the latter insisted that no time had been lost on the occasion by his Majesty's Government, in carrying their determination into effeet, on their view of the case, in recurring to Par liament' with the least pra6ticable delay. the Speaker would accept his I.;alA, lor • some terms in which he, had conveyed the Resolu tion of the House, and he trusted the House would appreetate his feelings on the occasion.

On the question - for going into a Committee on this A conversation took pl ice between the Earls LAUDERDALE and •BATHURST, and Lord GREN VILLE, • but of which our very restricted limits con tine us to • brief sketch. Earl LMYDERDAL vindicated himself from any dereliction of principle in his not opposing the pro gress 'of the Bill in quest log. He retained those by which he was actuated when he joined in the sue cessi ul resistance to a similar measure last Session of Parliament. - He pointedly denied, however, that the condnll of those with whom he had the honour to ad, iiducing that proceeding, had, in the least degree, contributed to bring the country into the state, that was alleged in. these respeds. What may be the real state of the corn harvest, he had not equal, opportunities with the Noble Lords oppo site, of ascertaining ; but he must express his opi nion, that the condua of his Majesty's Ministers on the occasion was blamable. They should, on as- . certaiuing the prosped of scarcity, have come to one of two determinations, either to call Parliament together, and let the Legislature, the proper apt! constitutional organ, apply the remedy ; or leave proceeded to suspend the distillation front grain, on their own responsibility, and to have trusted to Par liament for an Act of Ineeinuity. He retained all his convictions respelling the superior policy of en couraging the agriculture of the country, and, ex cept in eases of e v ident znd undeniable necessity, permitting the free distillation of corn, as such, would eventually contribute to preclude real scarci ties. He, however, under the circumstances, and with a view to the state in which the country in some respe&s was placed, rather leaned , to that side, which would - afford the least ground of immediate complaint ; and though he deemed that stale to be, in'no small degree, attributable to Ministers, lie would not oppose the Bill. Earl BATHURST ably defended the condua of his Majesty's Government on the occasion alluded to by the Noble Earl. He adverted to the difficulty of ascertaining, at aught of an early period, what the real state of a coming harvest would be ; but when the idea of approaching scarcity seemed to be strongly impressed on the public mind, -and peti tions were presented to Government in consequence, they determined on the most regular and constitu tional course of applying to Parliament for its inter ference at the earliest practicable opportunity, as he held the other alternative mentioned by the Noble Earl, of suspending the operation of the laws, to be an unconstitutional expedient, and justifiable only in cases of extreme necessity. • Lord GREOVILLE, though he agreed generally with his Noble Friend,,jvas far from being ready to go the length of recdmmendiug, as an alternatir e of the Executive Power, suspending, on its o►sn au 7 thority, the law of the land. Willi his Noble Friend over the way, (Earl B.) he agreed, that such an expedient was highly nticon , titutional, "and justifia ble only in cases of extreme_necessi►y. indeed, he regretted that the frequency of such a practice some time since, had, to a certain extent; so accustomed the people to it, that in the present instance, they came forward, even in the- very metropolis, and pe titioned the Executive Gr.vernment fur a suspen sion of the existing laws. In, a case like the present, Minister had only one course to follow, viz.—to cause Parliament to be assembled, and take the sense of the LegislAtice upon the subjea. Parlia ment had, by an Act of some years back, became liable to an assembling at fourteen days notice, and that Aet was framed under the contemplation of future cases of urgency. The circumstances of the country, eitnerin a domestic or an external view, called for disciliou and promptitude OtA the-patt of The Insolvent Debtors' B;11 was committed, and ordered to he repotted to-morrow. Lord FOLKSTONE Qostponed till Frilly, his mo tion respecting the Ecclesiastical Court, Mr. CREEVBY also' postponed, till Tuesday the 11th inst. his motion respecting the Four and Half per Cent. Fund. EAST INDIA COMPANY. Mr. WALLACE gave notice, that he should, to morrow, move for a Bill to alter the mode of paying back certain silms borrowed by the East India Com pany., and also for the re-appointment of the East ihtla CoinfwiteC4 • EMBEZZLEMENT OF NAVAL STORES. M. CHOKER rose and moved, that the various. Ads relating to the grnbezzlementot Naval Stores, be entered as read. They were accordingly read pro forma. The Hon. Gentleman then moved for leave to bring in a, Bill to extend those Aas w Ireland. At present, he observed, there was no Ad in that king dom to prevent the embezzlement, and he moved, in consequence of a flagrant case which. had lately come to the knowledge of Government.---Leave was given. _ _ BUSHEY PARK. Mr. ORDE asked whether the correspondence which had taken place between .the Surveyor of the Woods and Forests and his Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence, respecting the cutting down some trees: in Bushey Park, was to be publfshed ? _ The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he should inquire, and inform the Hou. Gentleman to-morrow. - HON. MAWR-GENERAL COLE. The SPEAKER called - to the Honourable. Major , General Cole, in his_ place, to communicate to the Gallant General the Thanks of the -House for his condu,a in the battle of Albuera. Major-General COLE then stood up in his place. Tire SPEAKER then, in a very impressive manner, and in language the most dignified, addressed the Major-General.—After the long absence, be observ ed, which the Major=General had experienced in the military service of ,his country, he was happy in greeting his return by calling to mind t hose memo rable events, ti hid), in modern times,' characterizt.d the armies of the United_Empire, and in the course of - which he had borne so distinguished-a part. In the annals of the military history, the plains of- Maida would never be forgotten, where British valour had e+.er been so eminently conspicuous—where the gillatitry anil bravery of the whole of the forces ; had raised the reputation of the country InA routed the (to >ps of Franc-, and humbled the pride of a powerful enemy. It ,would never be for gotten that in that great contest he bore the 'brui)t, and by his skill and gallantry decided the issue of the battle. Pursuing the same career of honour able conduEl,, he had since entitled himself to the gratitude and admiration of his country ; for in the Bard-loughs battle of Albuera, the test:mony of the Commander-in-Chid had added to those claims, by stating, " that to Major-General Cole's experienced judgment and to his distinguished valour, the triumphs of that ,day were completed," though wounded in the onset, he was foremost In the battles and foremost amongst the viaories., These deeds of glory had not only recommended him to the oo tice and grat itude of his country, but also to the gra titude of the House, and they had accordin c iy, voted hits their Thanks, &c. which the Speaker read. Major-General CoLe expressed his gratitude for the high honour just conferred. It was au honour 'which did not exclusively belong to him, ftr the victory of that day was to be attributed to the g tl lantry of the troops which he had the good fortune and the honour to command. He also tequesteki STATE OF IRELemb. Lord MORPETH rose for lite purpose or bringing forward the motion of which be h;ld gwen no ice, respecting the State of Ireland, The Noble Lora observed, that it must b.' in he recolleMitin Of many Gentlemen, that a Noble Relation of his was.anxioni to,bring the subject before the EtoUse, but in const=. quence of an unfortunate tied severe domestic cala mity, was prevented. In bringing the subject under the consideration of the I-Luse, it was some consolas Lion to him to reflect, that the state 6 - Ireland was so. notorious, it would he unnecessary for hirii to en ter into any minute detailOf that situation. It re quired not the aid of rhetoric to idpiet it, for is was written in charadeis too plain to be mistaken by the most callqus, or to be misrepresented by tioi most perverse aliong the enemies to the trAtquility 'of Ireland. With respea to the motion, he should apply the observations which he had to make, prin cipally to the disabilities long complaineci.of, - which the Roman Catholics labour under, abstaining front entering into any discusssion upon the legality or illegality of the steps taken under the Convention Act. He should not question, the policy va high dictated those measures, nor reprobate the ex-, tension arid cootinuation of them. It would be 'sufficient for him to state, that the uncpalified • and determined opposition manifested "by the Government to the Roman Catholics proceedings, had produced in them a feeling of discontent and dissatisfadion. In the. view which he took of the. subject, it equally affected the Roman' Ca- (bac' and the Protestant interests; for the Pro: testants of that kingdom conceived their own se- • curity best consulted in advising the concess Sion of the: claims of so large a portion o f t h e i r - fellow-subjects. In calling the recollection of the House to the various discussions which had already • taken place, he should not repeat the arguments-of the friends of the Ronan Catholics ; he should rut travel back to the councils of the Lateran and of Trent ; nor should he think it requisite to' inquiro into the. policy adopted by King William and Gt,ieett Une, which perhaps were ju•tilied by the necessity of the case, but which had imposed on them a sort of degrading servitude. Since that period, liow eVer, nittreh had been done for their relief within 'he last forty years, but the disabilities, ,so fir as . they embrace the principles of exclusion, still re maintd. These disabilities could not be COUSI de! rd -in any other light than in that •of reproach, and as on the part of the Government, 'a wanton infliction of disgrace on nearly the whole population of Ire land. He knew it had been contended, tat the removal of them would not affel the great ruajo. , rity, for that i the private soldier or sailor would not feel his situation bettered . by the elevation of his officer to, the highest rank in the army or navy, by this resumption by the nobility of the hereditary seats tn Parliament, or the preferment of them ro the highest offices in the State. That such do,:- trines should be held forth, was, in his opinion, contrary to the general Snd best were of huium nature. To - the rem ova l th ere two classes of objections stated : that the principle was dangerou:s and ought not to be recogeised ; and the second class - objelit to the time, in which the subject is brought forward. .To these objections he - would reply, by desiring the House to look at the potedas tion of Ireland, in respect to the Catholics, and to . the statements of their leaders, w ho . deny t hat t heir object is to build a Catholic hierarchy on the Pro testant establishment. When the Union was el feded, it was on the understanding that the inten 'ion of the Government was to give relief 3 but how had those eXpedations been realized ? Toe Noble Lord then passed an eulogium on the exertions of -Mr. Fox and Mr: Grattan in the Catholic Cause s . and then reverted to the second objection, as to time, conceiving that under the present situation of affairs on the Continent, with a population so large as that of Ireland, the House ought to grasp the present moment, . in opposition to the objections thus urged, and by a spontaneous measure atone for the series of injustice and oppression which, sine the - connectioo of England with Ireland, had dis graced'the former country. The adoption of 6es motion would add a grace to the measure, w hiclr would secure the affections of a noble end gtono 0,9 hearted people.. He did not wish to press the House to an unqualified acquiescence with ail the claims of the Roman Catholics, but to - enter, • inquire inset, and deliberate upon those claimst Tui, was Nit the time to procrastinate, vt• hen the Whole of the Powers of Europe -were witliin the c u nt rou l o f an enemy who had conducted the battles on tht 1..1i:i~- intent with an energy hitherto unparalieled. it had been stated, " that the conduct of the Oat Lo, lies in urging their,claims was a stepping stone try their ambition." What was the conduct of the Catholics in answer to this reproach ?-I:hey en dured it with patience—they evinced. their loyalty and affection by matrning the navy and by rectLiit 'Mg the army. Was it right to proceed With seve rity against such persons —to .suspect their to disappoint their hopes-3(nd to hold them forth to their fellow-subjecis as engaged in a dark con. conspiracy to endanger the satety of, the Suite thought tie Was . justified in asserting that Govern ment had produced that, state of things of « high they now complained, but which loudly-demattei explanation. The Noble Lord concluded will moving as a Resolution— " Tnat the House do resolve itself into a Com mittee of the whole House, to take into conitdere lion the present State of Ireland." The Marquis of TAVISTOCIi seconded the moti,:: •
