A new Writ was ordered to kie made out for Waterford, in the room of Richard Power, Esq. deceased. SPEAKER'S SPEECIL; Mr. NORTON, seeing a Right Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Ponsonby) in his place, enquired whether-he could now alter the day fixed for his motion ; he wished to, be informed, that he might give notice of his own intention to Move a call of the house. PONSONBY said, he had not been able to see his No ble Friend on the subject : but he would, give the required information to-morrow. A communication front the Peers stated, that their Lord 4hips had agreed to Mr. C. Grant's Indemnity Bill without any Amendment. The American Trade, and the West India Shipping Bills, were read a second time,—Ordered to 'be committed to morrow. _ The CLIANCELLOA of the EXCIIEVER mored that returns of the amount of the Assessed Taxes for Scotland, since Sprit 1811, under schedule A ) be laid before the Ilowit.

The House having resolved itself into •a Committee on Gold Coin the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved for *leaveto bring in a Bill to revive and continue the Act rela tive to Gold Coin.—Leave granted. COLONIAL OFFICES. • Mr. CREEVEY said . it was his intention to conclude with. moving, that certain ap pointments to situations in the Colonies be laid on the table of the House This motion had arisen out of the Bill before the House, making it imperative on those who held certain offices in the Colonies to reside on them. The 22d of the King had precisely the same object in view. By that Act all those who held patent places were obliged to reside at their respective situations.. A great number of Colonies had been acquired in. the course of the late war. There were about 100 offices in the Colonies, and about 90 of them had been created - since the passing of the Act in ques tion. Of the . 90 appointments, there was not • one of the Gentlemen who held them resided in the Colonies. •To the five or six patent .places .'bold by the two Mr. Wyndhams, Lord Braybrook, and others, there could be no objection. When the patents to"these offices should-expire, all that be wished Was, that they might not be given in future to such infants hs Lord BraybrOok and the Mr. wyndhams were when they receit.ed. them, and that. the produce of the offices should be transferred to, the Consolidated Fund. What he "Vianted - Ito interfere with was, the places which bad been created since 1792. If these were patent places, the patentees ought all to he in the West Indies ; and if 'they were offices held at pleasure, the House of Commons might also abolish them when they . pleased, and transfer the profits of them to the - public service of the country. An Honourable and Learned Master in Chancery (Mr. :eplien.) had last night complained . of hardship towards the individuals holding the places. Were the Learned -Master himself to' go - into another country, he would not be allowed to appoint a Deputy, a: , d to share in the profits. He there • lore should move, that all Letters Patent, and other instruments by which the nomination to certain offices in the West Indies, described in the motion, had been made,, should be raid before the Manse-. Mt'. GOULBURN said, it might not be orals's to Correct an error futo which the Hon. Gentleman • had fallen, from not knowing the nature of the °fliers in question. The Hon. Gentleman thought there might he a siivitq; front the abolition of these clines.. But it would be first requisite to ptTsuade the different colonial assemblies to appropriate the money in the way he wislied and from what he 'knew of the colonial assemblies, he'could say, they were n(St in general very willi ng that Parlia- . meat. should interfere with them. CREEVEY Shortly replied. . Mr. BROWNE suggested the expediency of post poning the commitment of the Colonial Offices Lill from Thursday to Monday next. GOULBUI:N said, if the papers moved for true nor ready by Thursday next, the commit nkeni ahOuls.l he postponed, EXPENCI OF _ELECTIONS tkie7._had Iltt tar tlic the tatilitips ,Lnornen ni ante they had given film, - by their opinion it and. , advice, and by the indulgence they had sheWn tO his comparative incapacity, which had emboVent; ed him to endea\rour to become the organ Of amendment of the law. There Was one objection whit!) would be likely to indispose many from giving !limn their aid in the accomplishment of design ; he meant the unwillingness that they felt to innovate upon established practices:--All speCulative rashness in tbe,pursnit of soine doubtf‘ml . good, or in the correction of some glimmering of abuse, he was most anxious to disclaim : such anifli puta;i9n could not be laid to his charge, but there was a Species of reform was often the very opposite to innovation : grounded upon old aad established principles, it proceeded with eautiou; never ventur ing to move without calculating upon the conse qtmences, 'whether it would tend more to renovate the old and exc,ellent system, or to encourage and augment the corruption ,which has - crept into it. Such a reform .must of necessity be accompanied by the good wishes and assistance Of all friends to : ,. (iod order. It was no insignificant - undertaking, ;mps early in his •political life, to commence the refortnatiori of the House of Commons, although be certainly was •no advocate for what . was vulgarly understood by the words Parliamen tary Reform. By the improvement be was' about to suggest, he was in hopes securing many important "advantages, without incurring the danger that mnst'neCessarily'attend the sweep ing reforms, countenanced by some ether :Mem bers. —ln bringing this question under the notice ' of . Parliament, it would be his (4197 first to prove the existence of the abuse lie proposed to remedy, and then to - state that remedy, and to shew that 'it Would he, effectual. The Honourable Member _then noticed the proceedings- of 'Parliament on former oecasions_in the repeal,' and virtual re peal, of sonic of the laws relating to the. existences of elections, but in so low a voice as not to be audible in the gallery. He referred also to the increase of the internal commerce of the country, and to the enlargement of the metropolis, and of the trading towns of the empire; which pre vented any danger of rendering the number of elec-. tors too liniited, by excluding the out-voters : it seldom however happened during a general election that the scale was -not in some instances turned by the weight of the out-voters, brought in by the Members, frequently at enormous and ruin ous charges. He was aware that he was now touching upon the most plausible and popular ob jection to his plan, since it would be urged, that - lie was- virtually, if not openly, disfranchising a fiuniber of electors i if this were the fact this plan would never have been proposed by hint, or have re-" • ceived his vote if suggested by another. The truth was, that such a suspicion was founded' upon ex aggeration : he then proceeded to refer to the ques'- tion, whether in fact the out-vote, when procured was worth the expenceat which it was necessarily obtained, but whichever way it was directed it could not counterbalance the attainment of a great •ultimate advantage. Theta was another much more serious -grievance; existing by custom, and not by the Constitution, originating in the - electors, viz.—that the represented had no oppor tunity-of looking roilnd and selecting the 'repre sentative who they thought would be most likely to guard and maintaintheir . interests. It was not necessav for him to repeat any instances of this ' kind, since every general 'electic.l supplied them 5 there were many-cases likewise where whole fa milies had been redticed to poverty 1.),y vain at tempts to obtain a seat in Parliament which the ancestor had held, and to which ancestor the House was frequently indebted for much- of its: present consequence • and dignity. - It was impossible, as the House would see, to open th e doors of Parliament to some individuals with out excluding others, but those who would be prin cipally shut out by hisßill would be those to whom Parliament was generally least indebted. H e - did not wish to retain those individuals,. who, to use a trivial phrase, might be said to form tire. ready money interest of the country, who by means of their influence, by the length of their purses, procured seats in the House. The Hon. Member then, in an inaudible voice, directed the attention of the House to the former statute. made upon this subject, and to the previous resolution of Parliament, that no elector for his expencet should i be allowed more than 'the snot of la— This .Resolution had been alwayS.eVaded, and the result vi-as the passing of time Act he had • referred to. If terms were ever unequivocal, those employed in that Statute must be so considered :• the title was an Act to prevent charge and ekpence in the Election of Members of Parliament,"• nearly similar to that which he had adopted. It was there stated as fully and, clearly as possible, that tile payment of any p ar t o f th e expenseS of any elector shall be 'unlawful, - and it was utterly impossible that in such a Bill. excels-' !ions should be included which would defeat the very object the measure had in vi ew . I n t i me y ear 1 1783, when Ldrd Milton presented a Bill - con- Mr. Douot.As rose, in pursuance of his notice, to move for leave to bring in a Bill for more ef fectually prevc , iting charge and expense for the election of 'Members to serve in Parliament.— . The Honourable Member, in a. tone of voice by no means audible in the gallery, proceeded to ex plain the oat ure of the measure he was about to in troduce. His object was to restrict, or rather to pre vent, the payment of their expenses to' what were called out-voters, not resident in the borough when the election took place. He thought that .sonae ap , logy was, in the first Instance, necessary, for having ventured to undertake a subject of such great importance to. all classes of the com munity-7(Heary bear l).—lt not unfrequently happened, that Ivltllc the older and more. unexpe rienced Members of Parliament were fully employ ed upon questions of political economy. that affected the immediate i n t erests o f t h e s t ate, younger and less able hands were 'in a situation to propose some alteratiOn in less Obvious and, momentous, though not ultimately less important subjects,of I , !gislation. 'From particular eircunastances ; that it was unnecessary to detail, his attention bad been particularly directed to the question now be fore the House, r.»ti from his connecti o n w ith individuals for whose judgment he entertained high respect, he hid been awls to procure opinions Ylf considerable value; .which, lke hoped he might all,{, „,, t h e House itself would have no little infinence. Ifl-fitted as he was 'to accomplish the he'.had devoted his utmosratiention to per form it ; and he 1:01ild not avoid .taking this 1 , pOttuttity of eNpres's.ing h:s gratitude to many Ce.itletneu with whom he had communicated "for ' taining the same, or similar provisions, it was re jected, chiefly on the authority of Lord Mans field, and that great authority opposed it solely on.the ground that the law as it the•:n stood, with out this addition, was adequate to the pu:pOse".— So confirmed was he in this opinion, that he ob jected to a clause proposed ,respecting the mere' conveyance of the voter., because he said 'it might lead to endless Corruption. This decision was strengthened by the opinion of Lord Chi e f Justice Eyre, in a 'case Which he decided upon this insportant subject. The sage judgment had been given by eminent lawyers wherever the question was brought before them, but con formable to it,-had nor hems the determinations of Committees t 4 the House. The first Conimittee before whom the point was in issue, was in the' case of the 'Worcester Election, in 1775', wh . ere it was decided that to pay .a Jeasonable suns for the extisences of out voters was not bribery. The next case was that of Mr. Cater, •where it was, contended . that the most palpable •brihery bad been committed, under colour of defrayin,g needful charges. Another case still: stronger,, was that of Barnstable. The consequence of this discrepancy was, that an opinion now.generally preva:led, thohgh directly.in the teeth of the posi. tive,enaetment, that the payment of expences was legal. This notion had keen acted upom . at every , General Election, and as it was possible that Many: t UOUIt OI Liaw I/ V 1 1.11 111t1llie e iecnior F Ou t , i . .;4.l{f' ptiice. betoi•e_ cOnld dreUle agAin upon the pWnt, ii w tie fit that An ehacolteut should pass the douse of CoMmons, to !set the subject in a distinct awl indtibitable p(;iut of view. This sentiment .had been enter- Jellied by Many persons who hail at previous tithes taken in hand this subject : Lord m a im, , ee t ee); in conseeuence of it, hroeght.in his Bill in 1783, carried it through , the Lower Hott - se. The next attempt to regulate 'aod restrict this practice, was made by an lion. Friend of his, in 1807, in whose hands - he wished the present measure; but that was a declaratory measure, \vhile the one he (Mr. Douglas) sugggsted wes an enacting Bill : His friend's plait extended to . counties as well as to boroughs ; yet, in Considering this question, al though he (Mr,. D.) deemed it equally illegal to pay the ekpences of voters at county elections, if it could be avoided vet several reasons had induced him not, to include ,that subject in the measure he now proposed, lit did not think himself jus tified in interfering with the rights of freeholders -who might be resident on their estates.,in distant parts of the county, and who had besides that sort of emblisionent there, as generally not to -he influenced so, much by corrupt motives. Hav ing thus endeavoured to prove the policy and ne cessity of this . measure, he should say little more than to express his surprise how it was pos;ible that many individuals, who were inclined to ,sup port the Arts agaiust•Treadne:, could disapprove, as lie, had 'heard they did, of the Bill he wished to -introduce. The other Statutes were passed to prevent charges upon the Member, 'and influence upon the voter ; and why should they not second this attempt to render them more ef fectual? Did they imagine thstt this new law would infringe the privileges of Electors 2 but hdwever, sacred they might hold them, they could not dlow those privileges,, falsely so celled, to destroy aod corrupt the great sources of the liberty of the na tion. Do they think that the Representation would be more free and unbiassed by the paymeot of the Electors ? if to; they ought to he the enemies to , all kinds ofrestrictionsbn bribery. This measure cwly cm tied a principle whicliliad been often recognised - alittle further. Wheit his Bill slaould be before the House, anti the provisions were knoreo and dilly appreciated, he did not despair of the support even of the decided enemies of the Treating. ..,Lets.--- The great object he proposed to himself was, the removal of the uncertainty that at present .existed (Hear, hear!)—end certainty beifig. the 'main end of all civil policy, he should feel it his duty, if he was defeated it: this atteutpt, to 'follovit the vic torious steps of some disiiiigeished leader, who, rather than leave the subject dubious and vague, as at present, wouhl bring in .it bill to declare the payment of expellees to out-voters necessary and -I 111 ' HAGUE, i'vLitcli 24.—Yerateidny afte:aow 0: legal.
