1114PERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF PEERS. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22, Tut. Bilis upon, the Table were read: in their. several faage4. Tneir Lordships then adjourned during pleasure, which continued some time. The House was then resumed, and a few Bills presented, by Sir E. ItARTOFP and Mr. C. Dor:. n s were received from the Commons. Among these was the Bill for better providing for the Widows of Writers to the Signet. The TwelVe Million Losn Bill, and some ethers, which stood upon Order for Commitment, were so/entity passcl through Committees.of the whole House, and ordered to be reported to-Morryw. CLERGY RESIDENCE BILL. ThW Order respefting this Bill upon which their ,Lordships - had been- summoned, was read, and the questjon put, " That the Report of this Bill be new received." Lord OREATILLE rose, anti in asi eloquent and argumentative tipeech of considerable length iroposed the farther progress of the Bill. He cep., bored the measure as inefficient with respea to its professed objets, and tending to lessen that degree of residence, • ii sufficient as it was, which now existed - . He likewise disapproved, of the Bill, AS it- contained no provision for what he considered as essential in ensuring a proper degree of residence, oitmely, art adequate provision for the poorer order of • the Clergy, more especially the Curates ; he alluded to the projed of the la:e Administration oothat head, ohe jet of which was to appropriate a certain portion of the profits, which should be derived from the operatioo of the Plan for Redeeriting the Land Tax. ' He dwelt with much force upon this defeti in the Bill, whiCh in the present state of things was essentially requisite, as residence was one of the prin.. eipal means of promoting religious instruction, and its salutary and benign influences throughout the Community. 'He regretted *that the Bill, instead 01 strengthening;, should relax these provisions which heretofore existed for securing clerical resi. deoce. He likewise spoke in reprehension ache long list of exemptions which appeared in the Bill. His Lordship then too' k a view of the leading provisions of the Bill, of which he successively 'expressed his aiaapprobirtion, particularly those which related to Clerical Farming, and,' to a certain eXtent, of those which vested such discretionary powers in the Bishops ; that part which facilitated the processes of sequestration, he approved of. The Noble Lord concluded by observing, that upon the grounds he had stated, he found himself warranted in opposing site further progress of the Bill, The LORD CHANCEILOg quitted the Wool. sack, aliti in a very ableandairgutnentative Speech, answered the objeftiOns of the Noble Lord. He began by expressing hii regret, that the Noble Lord had not attended the precedino, discussions on the Bill, as he would then have been aware, that every topic he had used had been again and again discus. secs, and every objection on those heads satiblattorily answered. It was, therefore, chiefly his respe& for his Noble Friend,' that could induce him to a ma. oitulatioo of, those , arguments which hid been so successfully advanced in favour of the measure. (lite Noble and Learned Lord, then, in a line of detailed argurnez.tation, , followed the NToble Lord through.' put ,the various objeCtions' he had offered to'The measure. He 'admitted; that if the Bill went to re. laxthe existing , bortils of residence, instead of strengthening them, it Would be one - "of the most inisCitieVoUi measures the House was ever engaged in. But the contrary, he: trusted. would be the flag, and he was of opinion, that under all the, cir. curnitances, the provisions of the Bill, in' those re.; speos, would be (mld pressing too heavily.— With resota to what was said in , reference to the situation of the. Curates, &co they were of opinitin, that such a measure w as r equ i s i te but it could be made the subjett of a separate and he trusted' that they would see even this Shsioo, one to that He contended the present Bill contained marry strong and efficient pr(iisions for scouring residence, several of which he referred to; after ably 'answeringthe vari , us . other objedioni or 'the Ned h e cipal 'consideration wa.i; whether ur not. the etvsent contained' many heoeficial plOv'jsitros ; f.tr the affirrrostive of which, ‘ lie successfully contended.

Thl Earl of ROSLIN, in the course of his ob. ‘ervationb, 'adverted to the disgracefel and inju. rious operations of the statute of Henry VIII. He certnplimeniedohis, Noble Friend 14s. very aide speech on, the sobjeft i , Arne parts of which, he trusted, would not lose its effect, , alluding prinei. pally to the intended plan fur thttaelief of the In. fcrior Orders of the, Clergy. Lord At,vANoey explained. AUCKLANbmade several obsertrati - ons On the sobjea. He expressed his acquiescence in altnost every principle laid down by ltii - Noblef riend, yet he thought the Bill was' nearly such ought to pass. The Noble Lord then repeated his former observ,ations about the contlitiOti of the Curates, &c. ap-t with respell to the temporary duration of the eqr/ GRO'S V.,E IVOR delivered his sentiments at s'otiLt length: he principally contended that the ine4- sure should be tendered perpetual, in which view he ennceividit would lye plutiuttive oldie most berm efreets.

The CHANCELLOR of 'the EXCHEQUER begged to refer the Hon. Gentleman for information upon this subjed to the Bill, which was ordered to be printed. It vs tr;t provided in the Bill, that de.• dktion should be matte for charges 'upon land, and, it would be a fit subjed for consideration how far t h a t exemption should be extended to other charges. Mr. ROSE wished to know whether, in the Per.. sonal Property Bill, any . exemption wot made in la. your of the funded property of the Friendly S ,ci eties. There, was a considerable alarm upon the subjed; and he therefore 'hoped the Right. Hoo.

Admiral CORNWALL is 11,1: 1 . received intimation of this circumstance, and the Channel Fleet, it is said, had gone in pursuit of the French Convoy. We shall he happy to have this account confirmed, and to hear that ,our Fleet has Wien in with them. THE Bill for iaising . a' new liVy of so,oco Men for the defence of the Country, - was brought in last night by the SECRETARY at WAR. Some time will be given after its committal, pro firma, for the consideratiOn of its provisions; the discussion upon which will take place upon the recontitment. We shall ever most sincerely congratulate the Nation upon any symptoms :of 'Energy which we discover in His Majesty':; Ministers, and as such, we were most heartily glad to see a measure brought forward, which had for 'its ,objed. to render our Military Force more adequate to the -exi. geocy of the times. We do not at present enter into the detail of .this measure, .and we are ,much more disposed to give our approbation , to the thing, than to criticise minutely its parts, or to comment upon the tardiness with which it has been brought forward. - It may be a subje& for dif ference of opinion, whether .more Militia or more Regular Troops are best calculated for our defence; and whether the formation of the one, does, or does not, tend in an injurious degree, to impede the at tainment of the other ; but no persons differ at the present moment as 'to the ' necessity of vigorous measures for our security ;_ and though we do not mean to say that one Plan iinot better than another, almost any well-digested Plan, formed in time, and aped upon with promptitude, will secure us against the dangers which threaten us. When we hear it said, an one side, that: His jesty's Ministers are. totally incapable, that they are'all unfit for the ()Ices they fill, &c. &c.. we can. not give an assent to' such charges ; but,. on the other Nand, when those who are about .them are complimenting them for ,their Forei;ght, their. Fit mnest, their Energy, and their Decision, 'we can as little give our assent to such commendations. We heartily wish at the present Moment that this was the cliaratter of the Adtninistration, because there never was a moment when these , ties were so much wanting. likst some of the persons conflated with Government are, we are sure, very equal to the Offices ',they fill ; Mr. ,YORKE, in p,irticular, we believe .. to be a ;plait adive and efficient man in his Department, as Secretary at `Var. Who the War Minister is at the present moment, we do not know, but we are sure i t is a point which it would be satisfadery to the Public to haye ascertained. • Mr. TIEIiNEY told the Shop.keepers in the Borough of.Soutl.vaik, in one of hi Speeches, that " Bit Majtto did not complain at the lots of Llano ruer."-4\Ye hOpe he had no reason to censure any persons for that loss. Hts MAJesyr, we •are sure, will never unjustly 'complain of any Men, and if all precautioni were taken which it was in the power of Ministers to take to. preserve' it, His MAJESTY will not complain of nthem ; but if, when they had determined to retain Malta, they did not at the same moment use their best, endeavours for the security of Hanover, which, with very little foresight, ii was evident would be the first objea- of th'e French .Arms—if they did not exert their .best efforts for this purpose, both With the Courts of St. Petersburgb and Berlin, His MAJESTY may not complain, but it is indeed a most 'kind forbearance alone which can restrain him. HIS MAJESTY has not only given repeated marks of his anxious solicitude Tor the welfare of these Doin:nions, but has shewn his readiness to make the greatest personal sacrifices fur oiir kterebts. lle well knew, that if the Wdr broke out between this Country and France, an immediate attack would be made upon Hanover ; but this circum. stantp could not make the slightest difference in ,ltis mind as to the objeEts it was fit to pur. sue ; and when BONAPARTE ecently made the offer that Hawrier should be 'restored, if Mal. to were given up' to France, that offer, we have reason to believe, was . rejeeled by the plustrious Personage to whom we allude, with a magnanimity Which will ever add lustre to his high and dignified character. . As to the rest of the proposal of BONAPARTE, that the British Empire should acknowledge the Integriti of the French Republic, &c. it isunneces. sary to siiy that there was no hesitation in rejeeling such a proposition. We roust either retain ilfaita, or we must have sec:trio , against the projects or French Ambition, direeied, in the first pace, irgainst ypt, and, in the second, ag a in s t our I n . dian Eg p ossm i ons , if the Mediation of Russia can -obtain for us a substantial Security against the execution of these- projedi, we may have Peace; - withottieit, we must have War—and War, for tilt prosecution of which we must call forth ail the Energies anti Resources of the -Nation. We must not only have. Ships (with men, but Sal. diets with muskets.—We must awaken tli! Coup- try to— a sense of its real danger —not only to the danger of Invasion (which, now that tve see 'the symptoms of energy in His Majesty', Government, we have no doubt we shall repel), i but' to the -dangers . trust arise froin Defeffsiive System, anti a pr:,traace/ lrar.. Unless we are able, both from the nature of our Force, and the extent of it, to prosecute considerable Olen:hie Operations, we cannot expect to curl) that • domineering spirit of the First Consul of hranee, which it has been seen by hi's condo; since the Treaty of Amiens, Peace does not abate, and which a state of War alone appears to give us the chance or checking or restraining. We trust that what we have repeatedly said with respeft to Spain will be attended to by His Maio' ty's Ministers. Orders should be immediately gist" for the detention of all Spanish Vessels: By dcfr i : ring such orders, many valuable Prizes will bcsv '' feted to escape. .............-- Yesterday morning between eight and nine o'cl aelc i t His MAJESTY and the DUKE of CAMBRIDGE kit Windsor for London, and on their way st4l'e d ' lt c Kew a considerable time, and arrived at S i.
