Appeals were proceeded with at eleven o'clock, in which Lord REDRSDALE assisted. Final judgment was given in the appeal of " Foster v. Blake," when the decision of the Court of Exchequer in Ireland was re versed, by which it appears that an important loss occurs to the respondent. " Ross v. Sterling" was prpceeded with ; but in consequence of its being recommended to the appellant to amend his appeal, the. further hearing was postpon e d to F r id ay next . " Noel v. Noel' was heard out; and the LORD CHAN CELLOR then moved the temporary adjournment of the House, for the purpose of repairing to his gajesty's Levee. About four o'clock, upon the LORD CHANCELLOR'S return, the House resumed. The Noble and Learned Lad moved the second reading of Allerdyce's Divorce Bill, which was accordingly read. - THE; LATE NEGOCIATIONS. The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, he intimated to the Ilouse on a former day his intention and reVines.s to lay the table, certain Paper's, which ti Noble Baron (hoed Holland) ilia other Noble Lords, considered essential with reference to the discussion of which, a Noble Earl had given notice. As he un derstood there was no objection to printing the Papers.before they are laid on the table, he should take care the prints were ready at twelve o'clock tomorrow. The Noble Earl was de sirous of saying a few words with respect to the two letters from I. la Garde to Sir W. A'Court, which had been particularly alluded to. He stated to a Noble Baron (Holland) a belief that they had not come to the hands of his Majesty's Govern ment in that official form which enabled them to present the same to the House. The Noble Earl, on further inquiry, found they had been s-..nt from Paris in the form of it contulen tial communication to Sir 'tV. A'Court. They could not, therefore, be produced to Parliament as official, but they were, in fact, befor the public. The letters were published in form sufficiently correct to answer all the purposes of debate, in the Daily Papers. There were other Papers relating to the views of France with respect to Portugal, which it was the Intention of the Noble Earl to put on the table to-morrow.—The House then adjourned. • HOUSE OF COMMONS. Sir W. LEMON presented a petition from St. Colomb, in Cornwall, against the Hawkers and Pedlers' Act; also one from the same place against the Duty on Coals carried coast. wise.—Laid on the table. A petition was presented from the County of Sligo, against the Grand Jury Presentment Bill.—Laid on the table. SHIPPING INTEREST. Mr. LAMBTON presented a petition from many of his Constituents, engaged in trading to the South Seas, vtunst the Warehousin g Bill. • The petitioners complained of the gradual inroads upon the ancient Navigation Laws, tending, as they thought, to encourage the employment of Foreign . .Shipping, and prayed that if the House continued to - pursue the same course oflegislation, they would repeal all restrictions on the shipping of this country. . Mr. SYKES supported the petition. Mr. WALLACE expressed his surprise at the petition which had just been presented, because if there was one interest be nefited more than another by this bill, it was the shipping in. terest. The object of this bill was to induce foreigners to send the produce of their industry to this country, whence, - in all probability, it would be conveyed to the place of its original destination in English bottoms. The petition was then ordered to be printed... - Mr. LAM BTON presented another petition from Glass Bot tle Makers in Durham ' against the pr ov i s i ons o f t h e Ware housing Bill.—Ordered to be_printed. r)17.E."•-• REPORM. Mr. WIWI', presented a petition from the Inhabitants of York, signed by 1,100 individuals, praying for a Reform in Parliament.—Ordered tolie nn the table. Lord ill ILTON stated, in answer to a question from - lfr. Wyvill, that it was his intention to present a similar petition from the same place to-morrow.—Ordercd to be printed. BENNET presented a petition from certain Poulterers in the Cities of London and Westminster, praying that the sale of Game may be legalized.—Laid on the table. QUORUM MAGISTRATES' BILL. On the motion of Mr. SYKES, the Bill was postponed to this day se'nnight. WHIPPING. Mr. BENNET gave notice that he would, on the 29th inst., submit a motion to the House to do away with the punishment of Whipping. Mr. SHAW presented a petition from . the Chamber of Commerce, Dublin, against the Warehousing Bill.—Laid on the table. Mr. T. WILSON presented a petition from certain Factors of Wool in the City of Landon, praying for a repeal of the Duty on Foreign WoOl.--4 . 4aiti on the table. :JO LIN NEWPORT complained of some-misrepresen tation which had been made of what he had said on a late de lete on Irish Tithes. lie had been made to say:, - that in the ;province of Connaught anti Bishoprick of Ossory., in 18111 (as we understood the Right Honourable Baronet), an union of SIX livings had taken place. No w h e begged distinctly to declare that he had never said any such thing. He seldom mistated any thing, or misrepresented any one,_ because he took parti cular care to ascertain the truth of all that he stated to that House. Neither did he mean to say that he had in this instance been intentionally misrepresented, as he could easily account for misapprehension where the difficulties of conveying what occurred in that House to the public were so great, as he knew them to be. But he did think it hard that Members should be made answerable not only for what they did say, but also - for what they did not say in that Houso- WEIGHTS AND 'MEASURES. Sir 0. CLERK moved -th e Order of the Day for receiving the Report on this Bill. Mr. D. GILBERT brought up the Report. Mr. HUME objected to this Bill as a part Of legislation which could nut effectually be carried into execution. The at tempt to equalize and assimilate .weielits and measures had been made in France, but the power of Buonaparte had been found inadequate to make it successful. The same failure he expected in this country, and conihsion was all that would be done by the attempt. Sir G. CLERK explained, that the intention of the Bill was to assimilate the weights and measures throughout the country with those registered in the Exchequer. The object was one of general utility, and was intended to dissipate con fusion rather than create it, and he had no doubt of its being accomplished. Mr. BENNtT considered that this .Bill, if passed, would create more confusion in that which it nmfesseel to regulate, than the Marriage Act had done with respect to marriages. Mr. D. G:LBERT said, it was not Proposed by this Bill to make any alteration whatever in, • the ancient weights and measures, but 011 the contrary to restore them throughout the whole count r y t o t h e i r pr i m i t i ve quantum, from which in many places they were found to have degenerated to an extent scarcely credible. - The Report was then read, and the - Bill ordered to be read a third time on Friday next. Mr. BENETT (Wiltshire) presented a petition from twin Woollen Woollen Manufacturers of Wiltshire 'WOOLLEN' TRA'DE. presented a similar Petition against the Ware housing Bill.—Ordered to be printed. Mr. ST UA RT WOitTLE itr from Leeds. Lord MILTON said, that he had had much correspond ence with his constituents upon this subject, but they . had failed to convince him that every particular interest m the country deserved of the Legislature an exception from the ape. ration of the Bill in question in its favour. If he could have been so persuaded, he should appear as an opponent to it, but le. was convinced it could only tend toe destruction of the Bill altogether. Mr. PIERSE said a few words which were inaudible in the Gallery. Mr. %VA LLACE assured the House that he considered the Bill as.putting the woollen manufacture on a better footing than it was before. ' After a few words from It !r. GIPPS and Mr. MannYa'rx, the petition was read and ordered to be printed. Mr. S. WORTLEY then presented a similar petition franc the Merchants and Miumfaeturers of the town and neighbour hood of Huddersfield. Be declared himself to be at issue with his Right Hon. Friend, as to the comparative prices at which cloth could be manufactured in England, and in other countries. He therefore hoped some inquiry would take place. Mr. WALLACE wished to know, with the opinion enter. twined by the Right Hon. Gentleman, how he could answer the fact of 205,000/. in woollens being annually exported to the Continent. A further conversation' took place, in which Lord hirmeoN, Mr. BENETT, and Mr. GLADSTONE participated, after which the petition was ordered to be printed. CATHOLIC CLAIMS. Lord NUGENT, seeing the Attorney-General for Ireland in his place, begged to ask, whether he bad rightly understood that Gentleman's answer to a Gallant Officer (we believe Gen. Gascoyne) on a preceding evening —to wit, that he did not in tend at present to renew his motion in favour of the Roman Catholics. If that motion by the Hon. and Learned Gentle. man was not intended to be renewed, he (Lord Nugent! pro.. posed bringing forward a measure in favour of the Roman Ca tholics of England merely. As the Right Hon. and Learned Gentleman continued silent, he supposed that his conjecture as to the Right Hon. and Learned Gentleman's intention was cor rect ; and he begged, therefore, to give notice, that on the 2d of May he should move for leave to bring in a bill to place the Roman Catholics erEngland upon the same footing witla those of the sister kingdom. BR I TISLUM US WM. .. the motionAtcounts of the Ependi. ture and income of the Britistflittseum, in 18i12, with Esti mates of the same for 1823, were ordered to be laid before the House. A Person from the British Museum afterwards presented the Papers; which were ordered to be printed. The consideration of the Report of the Irish Grand Jury Presentment Bill was postponed till Friday. IRELAND. Sir N. COLTHURST wished to ask the Chief Secretary of Ireland when he purposed submitting to the House the view which Government took of the present disturbed state of Ire land, and the means by which they proposed to remedy the evil. He hoped this subject would be brought .forward at the earliest opportunity. He then moved an humble Address to the Crown, praying for copiei of Addres ses presented to his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland by the Grand Jurors of the County and City of Cork at the late .Spring Assizes, together with a copy of the Address received from the assembled Magistrates of the said County'. Mr. GOULBURN said, it was his intention on the 30th inst. to propose to the House the renewal of the Insurrection Act, and then an opportunity would offer for discussing ev er y thing connected with this subject. He had only abstained front calling the attention of the House to it sooner, that the papers which might throw light on it should be in the hands of the House. The motion was agreed to. , Lord ENNIS3IORE moved an Address to the Crown, for a return from the Cl er k o f t h e C rown in the Cotnty of Cork, of all persons who bad been tried under the Insurrection Act, from the conunencernent of the Special Session up to the 19th of the present month, distinguishing the number found guilty, specifying the crimes of which they were convicted, and shewing of those convicted the number whose sentences had been carried into execution, the number which had been pardoned, and the cases still undisposed of. lie offered this motion to the House for the purpose of aster. tabling how the Insurrection Act had been applied in the County of Cork. After some remarks on the system acted upon in Ireland, Mr. BENNET wished to know if the Government had any other remedy to propose for the existing evils than the renewal of tl►e Insurrection Act ? Mr. Secretary CANNING thought as the question of the Hon. Gentleman was an arguinentative one, the House would not consider it necessary that it should receive an immediate answer. Mr. RENNET conceived he had a right to take the course he had adopted. Mr. GOULBURN said as the motion of which he had given notice would so soon be before the IIOuse; he thought it would be better that he should defer giving his reply till then. Mr. ABERCROMBY desired to know the number of con'- , mittals which had taken place under the Insurrection Act in the County of Cork. •He wished for this, as he understood the country to be in a most alarming state, having been informed that two hundred persons had been discharged or acquitted in consequence of the witnesses against them being afraid to come forward. 31r. V. FITZGERALD wished for a more general Return than that which had been called for by the Noble Lord. Ile thought it ought not to be confined to the County of Cork. lie therefore moved, as an amendment, 'to leave out the words " the County of Cork,” for the purpose of inserting. these words, " those Counties in which the Insurrection Act was in force." • Altor a few words from Sir J. NEVVPOUT, the motion was agreed to. WAREIJOUSING BILL. Alr. WALLACE moved the third reading of the Warehous. ing Bill. • 'Mr. H. BRIGHT thought the Bill gave the Lords of the Treasury an oppressive power, as it enabled them to confis cate the whole cargo of a ship for one prohibited article. The Bill was then read a third time. Mr. NITA LIJACE said he had some amendments to propose to the Bill, in additional clauses which he was about to move.— One of these would, he thought, in some degree meet the views of the lion. Gentleman. One of the amendments would go to relieve the Captains of ships from the inconvenience now com plained of, respecting the bonds which they were compelled to give. The bands heretofore required from them would now be thrown on the Shipper's articles. Another amendment which he should propose went to relieve the original imp orter front that contin ue d responsibility' which now attached to him after the goods had passed through his hands, by transferring a portion of it to the actual proprietors of the goods. A new arrangement was to be made with respect to stores, to admit of the same being transferred to another ship. The regulations in force, with respect to the packing of Plantation coffee, were to apply to the packing of every sort of coffee. The clause relating to the exemptions in favour of Irish linen had been misunderstood, and a strong sensation had been created in con ,psequence. Witho u t g i v i ng up any opinion which he had ever eld, he was willing to give up the clause which had been mis. conceived, so as to leave the exemption in question es it had formerly been. The Right lion. Gentleman then moved a number of verbal amendments, which were agreed to. k The Verbal . Amendments were rea d a t hi r d t i me and passed. COMPOSITION OF TITHES. Upon the motion of Mr. Gotiraiu test, the Composition of Tithes Bill was read a second time. Mr. S. RICE said that the principle of the Bill was excel lent, and one which called forth the greatest possiblrgratitude towards the Government. If, however, the propositions of his Right lion. Friend (Sir J. Newport) at former periods, had been entertained by the House, so as, to have acknowledged the principles of commutation, and have appointed Commissioners to inquire into the subject, they should not now haste had to legislate under so many disadvantages. He rejoiced to see that the Bill contained the principle of prospective compulsion ; but he doubted whether its mechanism, as it now stood, was equal to the object the Right Hon. Gentl eman h a d in view. There was another objection which he should have to the Bill, if it was intended to give the Clergy a compensation for claims which they did not and were never likely to receive. In the province of Ciinnaught, for instance, the Clergy claimed a tithe on potatoes, but that tithe was never paid ; yet he feared that the Bill would contain the eleinents or an equivalent for such claims. With these difficulties, and considering the na. tore of the Bill, he did not think it likely that the forms of the House would allow of sufficient examination and discussion in a regular Committee. lie could wish, therefore, th at i t s h ou ld go up stairs to a Com m i ttee , to be investigated by all parties, and in full detail. lie wished this, because he desired to see the measure become such a one as would be creditable to the Irish Government, and a real peace-offcring to the people. Mr. GOULBURN said, that the fittest time for discussing the provisions of the Bill was in the Conimittee, be it one of whale House, or be it formed of particular individuals, or even of all parties, up stairs. The Hun. Gentleman appeared it/think that a greater facility of doing this would be obtained , by first sending the Bill up stairs, and then bringing it into a Committee of the House. He doubted much wether this would be the case. it' the discussion were had in an open Committee up stairs, he did not see how its difficulties would be leskiened where there would be so much less order, that in a Committee of the whole Muse with a Chairman to controul them. Another course might he taken, by sending the Bill up stairs to a select number. But then they must look at the . probability of an effect being created out o f 'doors, very much to the prejudice of the measure, by those who were disposed to misrepresent; and even if the MU should go through either of such Committes up stairs, he could not see that any thing would Lye gained by it. It must still go through a Committee PRICE SEVENPENCE. of the House, and subjected to the same opposition from con .flicting parties. considering, therefore, that to send the'Bill up stain, would be either to incur the risk of much imputation, or the certainty of great confusion without avoiding any of the difficulties which stood in their way, he thought it best to let it . go at once, in the regular way, into a Committee of tjte House. If, there, the difficulties should b e f oun d insuperable, then it might go to another Committee up stairs. Alr. V. FITZGERALD thought it desirable that the melt sure should h e entertained by a Committee up stairs, and be hoped that in the event of great difficulties arising in the course proposed by his Right Honourable Friend, such a plan wou ld be adopted. ColonekßAßßY expressed a similar opinion. Sir J. NEWPORT agreed with the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite (Mr. Ooulburn), that if the measure went before a Select Committee, great suspicion would be excited in the pub lic mind that one or other or the interests concerned had been sacrificed; and if it were an open Committee, the confusion would be much greater than any advantages which might be gained. He could not really see why the Bill s h ou ld not be got throu g h w i t h a f ul l inquiry, into all its details by the House in the regular way: 4 , - Mr. PEEL took very much the same view of the case as the Right Hon. Baronet. lie thought it would be a bad precedent to send the measure up stairs. It was a part of the duty of the House, and he hoped they should go into the Committee with a bona fide intention of considering and p er f ect i ng the Bill es far as lay in their power. Sir H. PAR NLI4/4 spoke a few words to the same effect. Mr. V. FITZGERALD explained. Mr. HU3IE said he should not oppose the Bill, but he wished that it had been founded on the principle which he proposed last year. His hope was that they should get rid of' a great portion of the tythes altogether. In his opinion . the time must come when the property of the Church of Ireland must not only be applied to the support of the Protestant Clergy, but of the Catholic Clergy also. This was, the only way of conciliating and tranquillizing the people of -Ireland. With regard to the question of the Committee, he thought with those w h o p re fe rre d a Committee of the whole House. Mr. W. SMITH Oought there would never be any peace in Ireland, until the Church Establishment was altered. He should vote for the Bill going into a Committee. • Mr. S. RICE explained, and the Bill was committed for Friday. Mr. GOULBURN moved the second reading of the Militia Reduction Bill. Mr. HUME approved of the Bill ; but hq thought the whole of the Staff' should be reduced, if circumstances rendered it practicable. Mr. GOULBURN spoke a few words in defenceof the Staff, and the Bill was read a second time. On the question for its committal, Col. BARRY said that the power of reducing the Militia ought not to be left entirely in the Crown. Sir N. COLTHURST spoke also in fitvour of the Militia Force. Mr. HUME explained, and the Bill was committed for to morrow. On the question for the second reading of the Irish Church Rates Bill, SirJOHN NEWPORT said he thought the Bill highly objectionable. lie thought the Ecclesiastical jurisdiction ought to be abridged. Mr. GOULBURN supported the Bill. It did not at all add the 'power of the Clergy. Mr. HUME spoke against the Bill. He was satisfied justice could not be done by the Ecclesiastical Courts of Ireland. Mr. V. FITZGERALD spoke shortly, we believe, in favour of the Bill, which was read a second time, and committed, after few words from M r . H u 31E, Mr. FITZGERALD arta Sir J. NEWPORT, for Thur s d a y next . , NEWFOUNDLAND. Mr. HUME gave notice s that on the 18th of May he should move for a Committee to ing!uire into the Laws in force re-. specting Newfoundland. The Irish Customs Duties' Rill went through a ComMittee,. after a few words from Mr. IlEußtEs, Sir J. NEMPORT, Mr. S. lint, Mr. V. FiTZGEICILD, and MiAlust.c.—lteport to morrow. The Charitable Loans . Societies' Bill went through a Com mitee.—Report to-morrow. The other Orders of the Day being disposed of, the House adjourned at Eleven o'clock. JAMAICA. A somewhat important decree had been issued at Baguta by SAsTANDAR, relative to neutral vessels, of which the follow- ing is a copy : FRANCISCO PAULO SAN TANDAR, of the Order of Libern. tors of Venezuela, taking into consideration—.. Ist, That it is a duty incumbent on every Government in a state of warfare, to diminish as much as possible the means of the enemy, and to adopt all such measures with regard to his domestic or foreign commerce, as may reduce him to sue for peace.-2d, That contrary to these principles, the enemies of the Republic have formed the project of introducing into our ports the national products and manufactures of Spain and those of her dependencies, availing themselves for that purpose of neutral flags, and passing such products and manufactures 'as belonging to neutral . subjects.--3d. That the enactments lately dictated by his Catholic Majesty respecting the Wished for pacification of America, imperatively require us to use every means in our power for bringing about an amicable ad justment as speedily as possible, on the basis of independence, by which such mercantile transactions as may occur in future, shall be placed on a sure and certain footing. Rave, in virtue of the powers invested in me by law, decreed, Ist. That Notice issued by the Secretary of State and Fi nance, in date of the 7th instant, signifying that cargoes in neutral vessels, consisting of the national products of an enemy's country could only be permitted to be imported, oa its being fully and clearly proved that the right of property of the said articles had passed lawfully from an enemy to a neu tral, and the importation made in a neutral vessel navigated conformably to the laws of the country to which it belonged, is repealed in all its parts. 2d. That, in consequence of this repeal, the natural pro ducts of Spain and her dependencies are hereby absolutely pro- Whited being in any manner whatsoever at any of the custom houses of the Republic, in sixty days front the publication of the present decree. 3d. That such neutral vessels, as in violation of this artic,te may introduce or attempt cargoes consisting of the said pro duce or manufactures, shall be warned for the first time of the tenor of the present Decree, in order that they may proceed to some port without the territory of Colombia, and in ease of returning to any of our ports with the same articles, or others of a like nature, on board the vessel, shall be condemned fOr the benefit of the public service, and the cargo burned or destroyed. 4th. That the Administrators and Officers of the Customs of Colombia, who may tolerate or permit the Miportation of th natural proceeds of Spain, shall lose their appointifients, and pay double the value of the articles seized, in 'whatsoever Nan w . the Republic they may h ave b ee n in tro d uce d, th r o ug h their respective Custom Houses. The Secretaries of State and Finance are charged with the execution, and carrying into effect of this Decree. (given in the Palace of (government in Ragout, tin 20th of Jitnuary, 1823.
