HOUSE OF LORDS—(LAST NIGHT.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool sack at a Quarter past Five o'clock. Sir A. GRANT, Mr. H. BATLEY, and others brought up the Militia Ballot Suspension Bill, and a Private Bill. Petitions were presented by the Marquis of Ormonde, from Kilkenny, against the increase of taxation in Ireland ; by Lord Hardwicke, from Royston, against the punish ment of death in case of forgery ; by Lord Teynham, from a parish in Sussex, against the Malt and Beer Duties; by the Earl of Limerick, front the Chamber of Commerce of -Limerick, against the proposed increase of Duties on Spirits in Ireland ; by Lord Lorton, from Cornwall, against the punishment of death in cases of forgery; by Lord Skelmersdale, from an individual residing at Liverpool, for a law to prevent the payment of labourers' wages in public-houses on Saturdays ; by Lord Fal mouth, from Truro, against the punishment of death for forgery ; by Lord Holland, from the Protestant Dis senters of Uxbridge, Maidenhead, Sudbury, and several other places, to the same effect. The Noble Lord ob served, that he most heartily concurred with the prayer of these petitions ; by the Bishop of London, from Bury St. Edmund's, to the same effect ; by the Duke of Richmond, from the wool-growers of Suffolk. The Noble Duke at the same time gave notice that he should not bring on any subject this Session. In doing so he must not be understood as thinking the wool-grow ers were not entitled to relief—no set of men more so ; for he firmly believed the agricultural interests of this coun try were rapidly hastening to decay ; by the Marquis of Londonderry, from the city of Londonderry, against the proposed duties on stamps. GREECE. . The Marquis of LONDONDERRY rose to move for the papers respecting Greece, of which he had spoken last night—the two letters of Sir E. Cochington to the Lord High Admiral and Sir H. Wellesley, &c. The Earl of ABERDEEN said, that it would be im proper to lay those papers before the House. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY would leave that refusal to the judgment of the House; and he would there fore, under present circumstances, not press the question. —Motion withdrawn. The Marquis of LANSDOWIE presented a petition from a place near Glasgow, praying for a free trade to It,dia. —Laid on the Table. The same Nom.E . Loan presented petitions from certain inhabitants of Edinburgh, against the infliction of death for forgery; from Davenport, and from Ipswich, to the same effect. The Marquis of DOWNSHIRE presented a petition, from Kildare, against increased taxation in Ireland. Earl BATHURST presented the fourth report of the Select Committee on the affairs of the E Ist India Company. The Insolvent Debtors' Continuation Act went through a Committee. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that the clause re specting the liability of minors was removed.—( Hear.) Lord MALMESBURY was astonished that such a clause should have passed through the other House of Par liament. When the House resumed the report was brought up, and the Bill ordered to be printed, with a view to its being re-committed. Lord DURHAM presented a petition from Stockton upon-Tees, against the infliction of death for forgery. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE presented a petition from Pomfret, to the same effect.—Laid on the table. The Contempts in Equity Bill went through a com mittee, the amendments were agreed to, and the House, immediately after its resumption, adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(LAST NIGHT.) Mr. MOORE presented petitions from two of the Cor porations of Trades in Dublin, against the proposed in crease of duty on Irish stamps. Sir ROBERT INGLIS presented a petition from the Presbytery of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, stating that the Members of that House had, with the exception of a very few, sworn that the Catholic religion was idolatrous, and praying that no officers of the British army should suffer punishment for not assisting in the ceremonies ofthat religion. When he presented a similar one from persons who had been dismissed the army for refusing to assist in such cere monies at Matta, the Learned Member for Clare did him self great credit in supporting the prayer of that petition. Mr. O'CONNELL did not think it very decorous in applying the term idolatrous to conscientious Christians, who would prefer death rather than be compelled to wor ship any person or thing besides the one only living God. The want of charity, however, on the part of the peti tioners should not cause him to swerve from the principle that it was unjust that any human being should suffer from any conscientious feelings.—(Hear.) Lord KILLEEN fully concurred in the opinions and feelings of his Learned Friend, when he was a petitioner at the Bar of that House for liberty of conscience ; for him self, he always professed his conviction that no person should suffer for his conscientious worship of God, and from that principle he would never depart.—(Hear.) Mr. BROWNLOW presented a petition from Armagh, against any increase of Taxation in Ireland. Mr. O'CONNELL presented a similar petition from Waterford, and three from places in the county of Wex ford, against the Sub-letting Act ; and also five petitions from the county of Clare, praying for a Repeal of the Union. Mr. CHARLES GRANT presented petitions praying for a repeal of the Duties upon Sugar, from the Merchants of London and Glasgow. Mr. O'CONNELL, in presenting a petition from Sut ton, in Wexford, against the Vestry Act, gave notice that in the first week of the next Session or Parliament be should bring in a Bill to repeal the Vestry Act. The Hon. Member then presented 4 petition from the Brewers of Dublin, praying for d reduction of the Duty on Malt ; and also another petition from the parish of St. Marks, for a reduction of the Duty on Coals. Mr. G. PONSONBY presented a petition from Youghall, against any increase of Duty on Spirits and Stamps in Ireland. NEW POLICE. Sir E. KNATCHBULL presented a petition from the farmers and market gardeners of Middlesex, Essex, Sur rey, Hertford, and Kent, praying that the New Police Act might not extend to them, as hitherto the parishes in which they lived bad not been liable to watch-rate. Mr. W. PEEL said that the parishes mentioned in the schedule of the Act were all now under the operation of the new police; but with respect to others within twelve miles of the metropolis, the system would not be extended there, unless it was deemed particularly advisable; but, he could assure the Hon. Baronet that many parishes, so far from not wishing to be put under the operation of the Act, had actually petitioned for its adoption. Mr. R. COLBORNE complained of the expense of the system: the parish in which he lived had been in the habit of paying 5,0001. for the watch-rate, and now they were paying 17,0001. for the new police. Mr. ESTCOURT said a few words, which were inau dible in the gallery. Blr. M. A. TAYLOR said that there were complaints in almost every parish against the new police ; and he believed that the old system was, in many instances, quite as good. Mr. BENETT said that one objection to the new system was, that land in the neighbourhood of the metropolis paid the rate, though they never required the attention of the police at all. Mr. WESTERN complained of the way in which parishes were rated under the New Police Act. Sir R. PEEL (who had entered the House while Mr. Benett was speaking) said that there certainly bad been cotsiplaints that the system was inefficient; and with good reason, for there were parishes which had refused to sub ject themselves to the assessment necessary for its - support; the consequence was, there had baen eighteen burglaries in the course of six weeks ; this alarmed the inhabitants, and a voluntary subscription was made ; hut in the course of two months it fell to the ground ; and all this time there was no provision for the nightly watch. The present sys tem might be more expensive than formerly ; but it was the greatest injustice, - that, by the refusal of some, those expenses should be heightened to those who were willing to pay for the protection of their property. If their de sire was to improve the men, they must discipline them for that purpose ; but as to calling them a military force beyond that, it was absurd. Considering that the nuns ber only amounted to 3000 men, he thought they had done as much as could possibly be expected. Of comae the expence was considerable ; but how was. that to be avoided ? Was the number too great ? On the con trary, it was generally complained that they were too few ? Was the salary too large ? On the contrary, it was said that it was not sufficient to induce respectable men to offer themselves. For himself he thought that the salary was sufficient, and he should, therefore, be unwilling to raise it ; still, however, the opposite opinion prevailed to a considerable extent. With respect to land in the neighbourhood of the metropo lis having, to pay the rate, he thought that was but just, for as it reaped all the advantages attendant on being situated near so large a city, what right had it to claim to be protected from the disadvantages ? Ile saw no reason why a parish at a distance from the metropolis should be included in the police system ; and he should be sorry to propose to the , Privy Council to include any such parish, without first consulting the parish authorities, more parti cularly if they objected to it. As far as his experience of the new system went, he had formed a highly favourable opinion of it. Twelve months had not yet elapsed since it was formed, and he did not expect that in so short a time it would have done so much. He had never antici pated that it would in that time have become so well ac quainted with the class of people it was most desirous the police should be acquainted with, anti should watch them. The police was daily improving, and three or four years would not elapse before the House, he was sure, would congratulate itself on having established the force. Gentle men must not judge altogether from the streets through which they were accustomed to walk, but they must look at every part of the metropolis, and its environs. That system could not be good which did not provide for the police of every pill ; for if the police of St. Giles were neglected, the parish of St. George would suffer•. The former system, which allowed each parish to take care of itself, was a bad one. Complaints were made of the police almost before it was formed. It was not adopted from any whim, it had been recommended by a Committee nomi nated at his suggestion—that Committee had made elabo rate inquiries, and recommended the present police system. He hoped the new system would be preserved, for his con fidence in its success was strengthened every day. Mr. W. WYNNE was also of opinion that the present system was a great improvement on the old system. Ile liked it because, though efficient, it was not a military system, and he hoped that it would superscede the military police now employed on several occasions. Sir R. VYVYAN thought he was justified in the view he took of its being the intention of the Right Hon. Gentleman to supersede all the ancient-institutions of the country, by what he had said when lie brought the subject under the notice of the House of Commons, The Hon. Baronet then quoted a passage from Sir Robert Peel's speech on moving for leave to bring in the Police Bill, in which he sated that the• country had overgrown its in stitutions, to justify the assertions he had made. If there were one institution which more than another contributed to keep alive the spirit of liberty, it was that which en titled every man to share in the administration of justice, and called on him in turn to take his part in seeing that the laws were obeyed. He trusted that he should never see the system - extend to all parts of the country. The Right Hon. Secretary had proposed to give the benefits of his plan to the city of London, but the Corporation had wisely resolved to keep their affairs in their own hands, and resist the introduction of the police into the city. He had never described the present police as a military body, but he objected to it that it was a large organised force, which might be increased to a great extent—the funds for • paying which were not under the controul of Parliament, and which was entirely moved by the will of the Secretary of State. Mr. Alderman WOOD wished to state that the Right Hon. Secretary had never offered to impose the police on the city of London, but the police institutions of the city had been examined, and they were found to be imperfect, as well as those at the West End. These imperfections, howeN er, were left to be removed by the Corporation, and the subject had been under its consideration for three or four months. The result, he believed, would be, that the city would adopt a system like that carried into execution for Westminster. According to the calculations laid be fore the Corporation, the present system of watching the city cost about 36,0001. per year, and it was calculated that the new system would not cost more than 30,0001., so that there would be a saving of 6,000/. a year, and the city would have an efficient day police of 100 men. He believed, the principal reason why there wai an opposition to the new plan in the city, was that many of the citizens liked their old watchmen. He had recommended the Lord Mayor to summons all the city watchmen to the Guildhall, and there have a review of them.—(A laugh.) —He thought that would be an effectual way of showing their inefficiency. Nobody was better able to speak of the behaviour of the new police than the Magistrates who were present at the Old Bailey. He had been there him self, and he noticed a marked improvement in the new police, as compared with the old. He hoped soon to be able to bring forward a Bill for establishing a new police in the city. _ Sir R..PEEL begged to be allowed to explain. He was never more surprised, than to find 5. debate of this kind brought on without any intimation having been given, or any notice even that a petition was to be presented ; and not merely a debate, but an attack on him. The Hon. Baronet came down with scraps of his former speeches, and endeavoured to prove that he wished to change the institutions of the country.---(Hear.)—The Hon. Baronet said he was glad that the city of London had resisted the Secretary of State, as it had formerly resisted an arbitrary Sovereign, and had escaped the controul of the new po lice. The fact was that he (Sir IL Peel) told the city that he would not concern himself in any way with the city police, except by giving it all the documents and papers connected with the Westminster police. He never had attempted to interfere with the city ; he bad no wish to controul the city of London, and wished that its police should be improved under its own municipal authorities, and not under the authority of the Secretary of State. He did say that the country had outgrown its institutions; but he applied that remark only to its police institutions. If the Hon. Baronet thought that there should be no other institutions now than those that existed in the time of Al fred, he was much mistaken. The Hon. Baronet's re spect fur antiquity carried him too far when he found no thing to admire but the institutions that were framed GOO or 700 years ago. He hoped that every populous place would provide itself with a police, but he by no means wished that the police of every town should be under the controul of the Secretary of State. Mr. TRAN r complained of the police because tile) , would not make the parish authorities acquainted with the disposition of their force within the parish. He knew that this had occurred in Mary-la-bonne. The vestry had requested to be informed kow the police force was disposed of in the parish, and the information was refused. Mr. ROSS defended the police for not complying with the vestry's request. Mr. ROBERT GORDON thought the police very good, and that it had answered very well. Mr. BARING highly approved of the police, and thought that it was a great advantage that it had a mili tary character. Sir JOHN SHELLEY also eulogised the new police. Sir ROBERT PEEL and Sir R. VYVYAN mutually ex plained.—Petition read. Atter a few words from Sir E. KNATCHZULL and Sir ROBERT PEEL, The petition was ordered to be printed. BUSINESS BEFORE THE HOUSE.: _ The SPEAKER— called on 111 r. Bright; and Mr. BRIGHT began to address the House, but he was inter rupted by Sir ROBERT PEEL, who felt himself obliged to call the attention of the House to the state of the public busi ness. He felt deeply interested in that subject. It was hects:sry te wake some uherettieh IA the prow mode of proceeding, and come to some determination as to the time at which public business should begin, or abandon it alto gether. At present it was so defected, that attention to it was precluded. At that late period of the Session something ought to be done, or the inconvenience to the public would be very great. He should beg leave, there fore, to submit to the House, in the existing state of the public business, that it woulU he expedient, for the pre sent Session, and only for the present Session, that the House should come to an understanding that public bu siness should commence at a definite hour. He would say that on every day, except Wednesday, public business ought to begin at half-past five o'clock. For private busi ness then there would be an hour and a half every day, and for the presenting petitions. The petitions, too, might be presented after the public business was done. Gentlemen who were concerned in petitions, when they were of a doubtful nature, would greatly facilitate the business of the House if they would not excite debates on them. He would not move any formal resolution on the subject, but lie was anxious to collect the general sense of the House on the question, whether it would not be de sirable to make a temporary arrangement—and to be un derstood only as a temporary arrangement—that the public business should begin every evening at half-past five o'clock ? He d'd not wish that it should take effect on the present day, but that in future business should begin at that time. Mr. BROUGHAM had taken the liberty, on a former occasion, of calling the attention of the House to the em barrassment which had grown up in its proceedings, and to observe, that if no change were made in the form of their proceedings, it would be impossible for the House efficiently to transact the business of the country. It was net that great public questions bad not a fair chance to obtain discussion, they bad no chance at all. Petitions were presented anti discussed from individuals who pre sented them, and had little or no relation to any great public question; the consequence was, that though they had said a great deal, and sat late, it had done very little business. The House had sat, on an average, from forty five to fifty hours every week, and as Wednesday was not to be included, these hours were to be divided amongst four nights, snaking eleven or twelve hours which the House had sat every night. But though it bad sat so long, he could not say that it had done much business. He agreed, therefore, with the Right Hon. Gentleman, that the House should for this Session fix some hour at which the public business should commence. Mr. BRIGHT must say that he considered the present ing pet itions one of the most important parts of the busi ness of the House. He was not prepared to say that the House ought to give over receiving petitions at a certain time, in order to enter into what was called a grand debate. He would recommend that the private business should be postponed till after the public business was transacted, or till after midnight.—(No, no.) Then gentlemen who were anxious to attend private business, might do so without impeding the public business. Mr. W. WYNNE approved of the recommendation of the Right Hon. Gentleman. Mr. - LITTLEDALE suggested that it would expedite business if more Bills originated in the House of Lords. Out of sixty-three Bills last year only one had been brought in there, whereas eighteen might have been brought in. Sir R. PEEL understood it to be the wish of the House, that, after Thursday next, the Speaker should call on public business at half-past five every day. Mr. BROUGPIAM said, that if any private matter were under discussion at half past five, it ought to be allowed to be concluded. Sir R. PEEL of course assented to this proposal. On the motion of Mr. 13a1GuT an order was made for a return of the number of persons who had compounded for Assessed Taxes during the last year. Mr. JEPHSON presented a petition from Mallow against the increase of taxes in Ireland. EMIGRATION. Mr. W. HORTON presented a petition from Frome, praying the means of emigration for certain paupers who were willing to leave the country, and suggesting a Bill for allowing parishes to borrow money of the Crown.—The Hon. Member gave notice that, before the end of the Ses sion, he would endeavour to bring on a discussion of the principle of his Bill. After a few words from Mr. Trant, Mr. Slaney, Mr. Baring, Lord J. Russell, and Sir R. Peel, the petition was laid upon the table. Mr. W. HORTON presented a second petition from Frome on the poor laws. PORTUGAL. Mr. HYDE VILLIERS rose to bring forward his mo tion regarding Portugal. There were only two good points to which be meant to call the attention of the House— namely, the treaty known by the name of the Methuen Treaty, concluded in 1703 ; and the last Commercial Treaty, concluded at the Brazils in 1810. The main ob ject of the Methuen Treaty was to regulate the interchange of two commodities between the two countries ; viz. the wines of Portugal and the woollens of England. The conditions, however, were very unequal ; for while it was only provided on the one hand that the woollens of Eng land should not be prohibited in Portugal, without speci fying the rate of duty at which they should be admitted, it was provided on the other hand, not only that the wines of Portugal should not be prohibited in England, but that they should be admitted at a rate of duty a third less than the wines of France. Since 1703 different Governments in this country had had it very much at heart to get rid of the Methuen Treaty, and had even taken preliminary steps for that purpose ; but some accident or other had always intervened, and prevented the attainment of the object. In 1810, when our last Commercial Treaty with Portugal was concluded at the Brazils, the Methuen Treaty of course came under consideration, and, although it was determined that it should be continued, yet that determi nation was accompanied by a reference to a subsequent re vision. By the Treaty of 1810, it was declared " that the stipulations of the former Treaty of Commerce be tween England and Portugal, for admitting the wines of Portugal into England on the one hand, and the woollens of England into Portugal on the other, should, for the present, remain unaltered." It was clear \ by this previ sion, that the Methuen Treaty was to remain unaltered only " for the present ;" that was, only to the end of the fifteen years for which the Treaty of 1810 was to run, and as much longer as both the contracting parties might think proper to continue it; it being evidently competent to either party at the expiration of the fifteen years to claim a revision of the Methuen Treaty, and to give notice that it should be either partially or altogether suspended. It had been competent, therefore, for this country, ever since 1825, to require a revision of our commercial regu lations with Portugal. No doubt such a requisition must be preceded by some preliminary measure on our part. What that ought to be he would not touch upon, as it was not necessary to his immediate object ; and he hoped, also, that no Hon. Member would prolong or perplex the discussion by any allusion to a subject which had already been so amply discussed. There was no per son more disposed than himself to respect that pre rogative of the Crown by which it was entitled to enter into and conclude such treaties with Foreign States as should be thought fit and reasonable by its re sponsible advisers. The initiative in such negotia tions must always remain with his Majesty's Govern ment. But, on the other hand, it was always competent to Parliament, which was to provide for the execu tion of treaties, to revise and judge of their stipula tions at any future period. The circumstances under which the Methuen Treaty was concluded, were very different from those of the present thee.. In the year 1703, the animosity against France, and the apprehensions of her designs, were at the highest point in this country. In Portug 11 there was, on the contrary, a strong attachment to France; and the King of France long wavered before he would consent to the alliance with this country, which was concluded by Mr. Methuen at the same time that he concluded the Commercial Treaty. Indeed, the only thing that could be said in favour of the Commercial Treaty was—that it served as a ground for the Treaty of Alliance. As to Methuen's Commercial Treaty, writers even of the most opposite political opinions—Swift and Burnet, for instance—spoke of it slightingly and dispa ragingly; a circumstance not surprising, when its pro visions were considered. It was not a little astonishing, and was certainly much to be lamented, that this great country had so long allowed such a Treaty to deprive it of its just advantages. To make the subject more intel ligible, it would be necessary to enter into some particu lars. The provisions of the Methuen Treaty were in them selves highly injurious to the trade of this country. So they were no doubt felt to be in the first in stance ; but it was reserved for the celebrated Mar qui4 de rombal to make this country experience that evil to hs fullest extent. In 1756, .Idie Marquis de,Parnbal established, under the name' of the Oporto Wide Cone pany, one of the most extraordinary monopolies tbat ever oppressed the commercial world. That.troUrOpelit exiseid to the present moment, and, its powiers*ere ,not inferior to that of the inquisition. 'it.ll.who were acquainted with the history of Portugal knetie that ihat:eoetpriiing and ambitious man, the Marquis de Ponebal,fitunded various monopolies in that country. But this particular mono poly, having objects so injurious and oppressive, possessed a power which was wholly unsuitable to a commercial Company. Indeed, not long after its establishment, the regulations under which it was carried on were pronounced by the Lords of Trade in this country to be as oppressive to the civil rights of the people of this country as they were to their commercial privileges. The monopoly however, was supported, and supported at the expence of this country, in consequence of the provisions of the Methuen Treaty. He did not believe that the case which he was about to unfold, was generally known ; nor did he believe it bad any parallel in the history of the world. He did not believe that there was an instance in which two nations, professing to confer advantages on one another, nothing but injury had fol lowed. Still less did lie believe that there was an instance in which such injury had been suffered by the strong na tion and not the weak , and in which the strong nation lud, under such circumstances, forborne to obtain redress from the weak. He proposed to state, first, a brief out line of the power possessed by the Company to which lie hail alluded; secondly, the bearing of that power on the existing treaties; and, thirdly, the practical effect which it had produced on the community of this country. Every body knew how long the health of the people of this country had been exposed to injury by their being come plied to drink that harsh, bitter, and repulsive liquor de nominated port wine ; brit no one seemed to think it worth while to ask why we were restricted from the use of wine of more agreeable and salutary qualities. The cause was to be found in the Company established by the Marquis de Pombal—a power, of which the House would entertain some idea from the extracts from its-'constitution, which he would read to them. In fact, the Company was a com plete imperium in imperio ; it was not merely a wine monopoly, but a body possessed of the greatest legislative ) , judicial, awl commercial powers.—[The Hon. Gentleman here read a part of the constitution of the Company, in which its right and privilege! were guarded by the most severe penalties.3—So severely . were these severe provisions carried into execution, that in a very short period no fewer than 265 persons suffered imprisonment, exile, or death, fur smuggling, and other violations of the Company's laws. Those laws bore also in various cases most injuriously on British rights and interests. For instance, by the Treaty of 1654, which was the great Charter of the British rights in Portugal, to the British was conceded a Conservator of their own ; from whom there was no appeal but to a Council of Sena tors. But by the constitution, an extract from which he had just read, the Company's Conservator had precedence over the British, and from him there was no appeal. Soon after the formation of the Company, so injurious were its effects found to be on British rights and privileges in Por tugal, that the Lords of Trade in this country drew up a report on the subject. As it was his intention to move for this, among other papers, he would read to the House only a few lines from it.—(The Hon. Gentleman here read a short extract from the report of the Lords of Trade, reprobating the arbitrary measures pursued in Portugal, against British subjects.)—lt had been provided by the treaty of 1654, that the British in Portugal should be un restrained in their trade. But, by the regulations of the Company, we were prohibited from importing any wine except from their district; and they prescribed the quality, price, and quantity of the wine which was to be exported.—(The Hoo. Member here read an extract from another Report of the Board of Trade on the subject.)— Notwithstanding the able and conclusive report which he had just quoted, and for a copy of which he intended to move, the grievances of the British remained almost with out hope of redress, until the Treaty of 1810 came to be negotiated, in which provisions were to be expressly framed for their removal. In order to facilitate that object, his Majesty's Government in this country applied to the British merchants at Oporto, to dissolve the factory they had there established, which was a sort of recognized corporation framed for the superintendence of British interests against the encroachments of the Company. The merchants consented to dissolve the factory. An arrange ment at the same time was come to to repeal the English navigation laws in favour of Portugal, and in return it was provided, by the Bth Article of the Treaty of 1810, that the British should not be restrained in their com merce or injured by monopolies. Such were the pro visions introduced into the Treaty for the redress of in juries of so long a standing. The Treaty being concluded the factory dissolved, and the navigation laws repealed in favour of Portugal, what did the Portuguese Government do ? Notify that the Oporto Wine Company was dis solved, or their owners restrained ? No such thing. But the Government notified its intention not to carry into effect the provision of the Bth Article of the Treaty, or to dissolve, restrain, or in any way interfere with the Wine, Company. Remonstrances were sent out to the Secretary of State at Lisbon, who referred the case to 'the Court of Brazil ; but it was some time before the reasons of so ex traordinary a proceeding on the part of the Portuguese came to light. It was thought by some that the Court had touched something better than the Company's wine, but so scandalous an assertion against an Illustrious family could not surely be true. It was alleged by the Portu guese Government, that the Wine Company was net men tioned by name in the Treaty, and moreover that what ever might be the provisions of the Treaty, it would be re pugnant to the feelings of the Portuguese Monarch to effect the extinction of that Company, at the request of a foreign power. The late Mr. Canning, under whose auspices the Treaty had been concluded, brought the ques tion before that House, and the Government of the day sent out Lord Strangford to the Court of Brazil, where that Nobleman presented a spirited memorial to the Emperor, describing the conduct of Portugal as a positive breach of faith, and stating it to be the determination of the Prince Regent not to suffer treaties to be violated with impunity. That memorial was one of the documents he meant to move for. What answer was given to it he did not know; but the fact was, the Company continued to exercise the same oppressive powers up to the present mo ment. He should here close the first part of his case, and he would now endeavour to show what the practical effects were which the Wine Company produced on the British community. That Company had drawn a line of demar cation round a small district in the neighbourhood of Oporto, of some leagues in extent, and containing different soils. Instead of allowing the British to buy their wine where they pleased, the Company only permitted to be ex ported what wines grew in their district, some of which it was notorious were of a very inferior description, while others were of the first-rate quality. But the British community suffered most from that power which the Com pany possessed, of determining the quality, quantity, and price of the wines they permitted to be exported. The Company divided the wine into two classes; the first *lass was called approbada, and intended for exportation to England, where he believed it met with little approval ; and the second was styled aeparada, which was kept apart for the home market or for exportation to the Brazils. If a wine-grower brought good wine to the market, the Company bought it at what price they pleased, and then mixed it with bad wine. It was to this system of adul teration that he wished to call the attention of the House. The Company were always in the habit of supplying the waste of their cellars, which must be considerable, by means of adulteration ; and as a proof to what extent this was carried, he would men tion that 135 pipes of wine, shipped at the island of Guernsey, on reaching the port of London, ware multiplied into 2,545 pipes. The whole of this difference was made up by a class of persons who were described under the name of the brewers of this country. Many Hon. Members may probably recollect a passage in the Spectator in which these persons are described, and in which an account is given of their eltymical operations, their working under ground, and their preparing under the streets of London the adulterated products of France, to the great annoyance of his Majesty's subjects, and to the great detriment of their health. Dr. Henderson, in his able and scientific work on this subject, appears to think that this statement is to a great extent applicable to the present time; for he says, that a great quantity of this wine introduced into this country is fur the purpose of adulteration. With a view to show the immense impor tation of this wine, as contrasted with other descriptions of wine, he would refer to the returns made for two years, namely, 1822 and 1823. In the course of those two years it appeared from the returns that the average im portation of Cape wine was more than double the impor tation of French wine and Rhenish wine during the same period, and that for every bottleof French and Rhenish wine which was consumed in the country there were from two to three bottles of this artificial wine consumed. There could be no doubt that the consumption of artificial wine in this country was even far greater than he had stated. In 1822 the average importation was of Cape 3,259 tuns, of French and Rhenish wine j,553, making an excess i n th e importation of Cape wine of 1,706 tuns. In 1825 the duty on French wine was reduced, but still the importation of Cape wine exceeded that of French none. The annuli average importation of French wine for nine years amounted mportation of Cape wine to 1,365 pipes, and the average
