PARMA MEN T, HOUSE OF LORDS FEB. 21. • Mr. BaoG DEN and'a Deputation from the Com mons returned the Longitude gill, with the ac quiescenCe of the •Commons to the amendment made by their. Lordships therein. The Earl of THANET presented a Petition from the Inhabitants of Kendal and . its vicinity, in the County of Westmorland, praying that the Queen's name be - restored to, the Liturgy.— Laid on the table. The Malt Duty Bill and the Grants Transfer Bill were committed and reported. Lord REInSDALE presented VetitionS. from 'Montreal, from the Sawyers and. Proprietors of Saw-Mills in Canada, from Nes. , „Zr zil ls w !cl i and NioNa Scotia, pitying that take into consideration the state of the 'North A,meri can Trade, and particularly that in Timber.— Laid on the table. IRELAND. The Earl of BLESINTON wished, as far as his humble abilities extended, to assist the object of the Petition from Limerick, - which was worded with much moderation and wisdom. He shoidd therefore more for a List of the Duties on Malt and Spirits in Ireland, and of those on Irish Malt and Spirits imported into England ; and for a Copy of the Order sent to the Outports respectinc , ' the Irish Linens imported into Eng land.—Agreed to. FOREIGN TRADE, &e. The Marquess of LANSDOWN rose to move" the revival of the Committee on Foreign Trade ; and in doing so he felt it unnecessary again to travel through the vast interests attached to this question as he had done last year. But it was necessary for him to notice some Petitions on this subject which had been laid on the table. H e had been understood to have, supposed that there was no other remedy for the evils which bore so hard on the country than the appointment of Committee to inquire into the-state of Foreign Trade. This was never his opinion, and he thought the evils so evident, and they were of . - such a nature, that they might be taken as admit llveahiscehd.tiFieo a series irr Lordships fo might pro years,a large t c e e d e d fa i c f t t s h o e yn p quantity of the capital of this country had been' drawn from it to the amount of 10, 12, 20, 30, 40, 50, and GO millions, and taken for the exi gence of the State. A . large quantity of capital was also directed to trade, till a time came 'when it must return to a fixed standard, if this were true, there was , no necessity for going " farther for the Canses of the_ evils. of ivic./),As -cgrn.4- plained . . It was •painful to know that no specific or speedy remedy could be found for these dis tresses. As to the state of the Agiicultural dis tress, it was, in his opinion, impossible to connect it with the state of the Corn Laws. This was true whether he was correct, or the Noble Earl oppci site, in their opinionsl and therefore he would confidently assert, that any closing of the Ports to FOreign . Corn, whether 'the depression of our own markets arose from excessive taxation, or from an excessive produce of our own Corn, would be of no effect in remedying the . evils complained of. It was to be lamented that no . prompt or, efficacious remedy could be found for these evils: Without a free distribution of the use of capital there could however be no effectual remedy ;. and therefore they should remove all restrictions on Foreign Trade, in order also to remove, all ob stacles to the employment of those'masses of. ea • pital which now lie idle up and down the coun try. Though such a subject should come More naturally before the other House,. yet he hoped their Lordships would never think it foreign or alien to their views and duties. The restrictions on Foreign Trade had caused the same effect in the capital employed in it as the taxes had produced in the home trade; but he knew that tho' in thesewalls men of science could be found to determine upon •- such -subjects, yet, when they came to apply the remedies, new and unforeseen questions and 'diffi culties arose. And he knew that out of doors there were-pamphlets and persons who advocated - the old and exploded [lotions of making Britain independent of foreign Powers, and making her' produce every . thing she herself Wanted. Then came the conflicting interests of the Agricultu rists,' the Ship Owners, and the Traders,; -while the interests of the unfortunate consumers, ,who formed nine-tenths of the population, were neg lected. He therefore moved the revival of the Committee on Foreign Trade. Lord ELLS ,BOROUGH. had heard with sincere pleasure the speech of the Noble Marquis ; but it was impossible to reduce our taxes materially without a strict attention to thb claims of the public creditor. The only thing that could be - done was to equalize the taxes so 'as to,giv6 re lief to all the difficult and conflicting interests. The Committee on the Timber. " "Trade found that timber in the - log paid higher duty than when manufactured. It was als6 discovered that Nor way deals paid in. Ireland 141. a load, 'and 20/. here. 'These - and Other similar facts led to the conchision'that some • equalization Gf the duties might be found which would be advantageous tc all parties. The motion was _then agreed to, and a Com- Mittee appointed, consisting of the same Mem bers as that of last year. . The Earl of LlVEnroot, rose to move for the laying certain accounts before this Committee. He should not enter into these great branches of our political economy now ; but his object was that they should have such facts as would enable them to form a Correct,judgment.-on these impor tant subjects. He had, therefore, obtained all the information on every branch of our foreign LIW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Fen. 21. THE KING V. FLETCHER AND O'BRIE'. This was an indictment against the Defendants charging them with conspiracy to excite disaffec tion in irMajesty's subjects, by circulating in flammatory hand-bills. The circumstances o the charge have already be - en before the public. Fletcher, who has absconded, did not plead to the indictment, and the, Jury had only to try Mr. O'Brien. The case was stated by Mr. Pearson, who in support of the prosecution put in several hand bills, which had been traced to the posses sion of Fletcher. Seale, the printer, was examin ed, for the purpose of implicating the Defendant O'Brien ; but he only proved that a person whom he believed to be the Defendant was seen at his office with Fletcher in July last. He afterwards went by the desire of Mr. Pearson to Craven street, to identify the person of Mr. O'Brien. Mr. SCARLET'S' was heard for the Defendant. He contended that there was no proof that Mr. O'Brien was in the slightest degree concerned in the transaction. After a most able charge from the Learned Judge, the Jury acquitted the Defendant. THE KING V. HUNT. The defendant in this case was the Prop .i-tor of The Exa mifier \Vrehly Newspaper, and the present was an Informa tion filed against him by the Attorney-C4oeral for a Libel it , lhat Paper, on the 24th of July last, reflecting on the House of Counnous. The a' leged libel, after describing the majority of 'he Mem bers as gtredy place-hunters, pensioners, and net dy adven turers, asser - ed that the House contained a far greater num ber of public criminals than public guardians, &c. &c. This was the libel complained, of. The ATTORNEY GENERAL stated the case to the .Tory , and urged the usual topic as to the misch ie v o us t.iidency o f such publications as. t hat now hi-ought under their consideration. He disclaimed any person - al motives in his prosecution ; he. now proceeded against the defendant in the disclir , e of h s publie duty ; and having doge his duty, he now called upon the Jury to diselnuit . e theirs. The usual proof of publication. and of the defendant be ing Proprirtor el the Paper in question was put in. 1 he defendaot then proceeded to address the Jury 'n his own defence, and read a long written paper, in which he dis claimed any other motive than a wish t e benefit tl.e public; he denied .that he bad lib, Iled the House o 'Commons, or that he had any intention of citifying cr degrading it ; he had only applied th , same epithets„ and given the rattle desciip ••tion of it as had previously keen done by many political cha racters. The Cot El , JVSTICE, in summing up, commented on the na ture and sni , chievous tendency of the publication in question, and declared himself decidedly of opinion that it was a libel. The Jury re ited, and after being out sonic time, they came into Court and put a question to his Lordship, as to . the ne cessity of there being a proof of malice to constitute the offence. . . The CHIEF JUSTICE said, the motive of a man's act must he Wet red front the effect which his act was likely to have. If a man was wilfully to do .an act which might in its effect cause the death of another, he must•be presumed to have ma lice in hie Heart. The Jury again retired, and in a few minutes returned with a vet diet of—" Guilty." The nuke, of Richmond, we regret to state, ex perienced a severe fall from his, horse a few days ago, near his seat in Sussex, which produced the bursting of a blood vessel. The unwelcome tid ings-reached the Duchess Dowager, his mother, on Monday, when his Grace was considered rather better ; but yesterday's athices, we are extremely sorry to hear, represent the state of his Grace as rather unfavourable. , The Hon.

CT.t.tvEN - retiring, as reported, from that .situation.—(Morning Paper.) It is with the most unfeigned regret we have to announce the death Of the H. R. A. S. i.!o'r Tos, son of the Right Hon. Lord CDMSERMERE by the Lady A. hi.-Covr ow, sister to the Duke of NEWCASTLE. He had very recently completed his 19th year. He died at his father's seat, Comberinere Abbey, onthe 13th inst. after a short illnesS of only 'three days. The 19th Regiment of Foot passed through town yesterday morning on its route to-Weedon Barracks from Chatham. We could not but ad mire the fine appearance of this excellent old • • corps. Mr. TURNER, after he shall have delivered the whole of his course of Lectures - on Pertpective at the Royal •Acride'my; itiferAi; it is reported, to resign hiS Piofessorship. and domestic trade ; and if any further informa tion were deemedneCe"ary, he would give every facility, in his power for its being obtained. He had stated his 'apinion to be, •that much distress prevailed from excessive prOuction ; while the Noble Marquis attributed it to - diminished con sumption. As to the Consumption of Gread-it•was impoSsible to obtain - a Correttestimateof that; but by the way in . which the revenue was collected, a pretty accurate account might be obtained of all the other. articles' of consumption, encept where smuggling might be. ornployed ; but even in the latter case•the consumption, if it could be obtained, would, be found to be much larger still. 'He 'therefore wished for comparative accounts of all exciseable articles consumed in 1820, and the three preceding years. should also move for accounts of acme articLes in the Customs. On the first arti44Wthaic io''Yi.fieer, In 1818; 15; of strong beet the average of barrels, was 5,356,000; In this, and in small beer; there was very considerable increase Over the average of the three for Mer years. In candles there had • been an increase of the average amounting to 3,545,000 lbs, In coffee, however, there had' been a diminution to the amount of 550,000 lbs.; 'and in hides and skins a diminution of 1,523;000. In malt there was an increase of above a mil lion; and in salt and rock salt, for home con suinption, an increase 'Qf 48,000 lbs. ; but in rock salt for exportation the increase amounted to con siderably above, three millions. - There had been an increase of more - than four millions in hard soap ; and in soft soap there had been one of 669,000 lbs. In British spirits the increase was . 1,578,000 gallons ; hnt in Foreign spirits there had been a diminution to a very considerable amount. In the consumption of tea there had been an increase to the amount of 356,000 lbs.; but that of tobacco and snuff had diminished by . 167,000 lbs. In wines too there had been a con siderable diminution.—Why he brought these ac counts before the House was, to shew that in the general there was an increase, and not a diminished state of trade, though in wines, Coffee, and some others there was some diminution. There was no reasonto thinkthat therewas a decrease in consump tion of bread, when those articles with which it was generally used were mot diminished in their con sumption.. It was impossible to say that the comforts of the People of England had diosi ytished, when their consumption of the articles of life had increased. He wished the Muse to con sider whether they might. not do more injury than good for the country by interfering with the restrictions of trade. He believed this country had grOwn up in spite of, rather than by the re strictionson trade ; but if thil , were constaatly tampering with our laws no man could be secure, and no speculation could be safely undertaken. In many of the absolute Monarchies trade had greater advantages, and fewer restrictions than lucre. But the merchant had no security, as their laws might be changed through favour, fear, caprice, private interest, and igsoraiice. He was still of opinion that the distress of agri culture arose principally from large tracts of waste land being brought into cultivation for corn. One circumstance' was gratifyings namely, that the agriculture of Ireland had in creased. ' He had been of opinion, that by keep ing on the Property Tax.they would, have clone best, for they. could then have -diminished the amount of indirect taxes. Any attempt, how ever, to renew the ProPerty Tax on a hirge settle would bring still greater difficulties on the country. He then moved for returns of the comparative consumption of exciseable article§ for the last year, and the three foregoing years. The Marquis of LANSDOWN shortly replied. Ire contended, that in Birmingham and Glasgow there was a great diminution in the consumption of food. • The Earl of Livearoor. said, he `could in quire into those facts; but he thought it impos sible to account for the increased consumption of other articles, and the diminished consumptionof food. Lord Easxir, said, the course of Ministers might be compared to a celebrated Doctor, who told his patient that he must go - on- with his Me dicine, until he was obliged to say, an under taker was fitter for him than a dOctor. The No ble Earl had talked of increased consumption, but had forgot to tell the real cause of our dis tresses, which was a destructive system of war, which had occasioned' an additional debt of 700,000,000/. to whicTi those who had profited most by the wars had contributed but little; while the burden hid fallen on the agriculturist and the consumer. .The taxes and the poor rates would soon swallow up the whole landed interest of the country. It would not do to tell the peo ple of England , , that no remedy could - he found for their distresses. It was their Lordships' flats , to meet the question fairly, and to inquire into the best means of giving the industrious employ ment and food. He had 'asked a Magistrate of Hertfordshire which were worst - off, those who contributed to the rates, or those who received them ? His answer was, the first, undoubtedly, were infinitely the Worst. Lord KING said, they owed the distresses of the country to more causes than Swift's projecting College could have found out. It was the, greatest paradox ever uttered-.by any Minister, to say, that increased productidn caused increased distress. He contended that there had been a decrease in the - grow th of articles of agriculture, and Consequentlythere,thust be a decreaged con sumption. • The 'war had occasioned a.'great crease in capital ; an4l the only cure for it was economy. The want Of controul in - the Trensurv; and the:lavish - Apenditpurd of: the Government , had caused the evil. The Noble, Earl :night FPRECt SEVENPENCE. • . bring down what papers he pleased; but ti:w only' cure - for our evils was economy, andpu:- tin<fit stop to the wasting profusionsof Ministers. The Earl of i.)ARNLE lc hoped-the TiOAserionlLl, considoration as :soon as possible, the Aeritfltural PetitiOns. The only remedy for the evil, was undoubtedly a diminution of taxa tion; dtstroying,all •usele . Ss places and pen sitnis`.

He dAlel 'that any Man could say that there was not dis tress among the farmersylabourers, traders, manu facturers, merchants, and indeed 'throughout P-e Country. It was indeed of a 'kind. :such as never had before been felt in this IslamL He did not believe that there was an' increase of production, for • last year the liar:vest was rather under than over an average t anii now the tenants were unable to pay their rents. Last year too the manufacturing 'capital had dimi nished. The caus9 was in the war, the increased taxation', and in the depreciation of the currency. He looked On any breach of faith to The public creditor, but nento tenetur ad impossibile ; and, he might almost. say we were on the verge of bankruptcy, by tha obstinacy and folly of (ha Government. The real remedy was instant and decisive economy aNd retrenchment. The motion was then agreed to. The Queetei Annuity Bill went through a Committee, and was reported.—Adjourned at Eight o'Clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS*, Lord ALTiIORPE brought up the Report of the Committee appointed to try the merits of a Pe tition against the return. for 13orottgli of Tied on, in Yorkshire.
