IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORIN Fitinvy, JUNE 10 1;1r. rvvrlt and Mr. ADAM were heard in the cause Welsh -Q;::Pinft Judgment postponed. The Jodgi-S were ordered to attn.od on Thursday, the 16th, on-the sunityt of the Airly Peerage. Conds' Removal anti another were brought up fry tvi tie itomirmoc. Th e Exei7e Duty Bill and Lottery Bill were read a third time and passed. FOREIGN TROOPS. The - Marquis Of LANstmwxn rose to put a ques tion to the Noble Earl (Liverpool) opposite, re -specting tue landing of certain ForeiWtroops in this'ilmntry. It was important, in point of Trinciple, though not with a view.to the particu lar case, that every explanation „should be given, - and a constitutional course. pursued, on this sub ject. T: e question he had to put was, whether tht.,Noble Earl was prepared to 'mdse any emu plfiniration to Parliament on the point to which lie alluded. There had been cases, hdeed, whet'e 1.4 w troops bad been lundedfirst;,and the connote-, n:catiote made to Parliament': afterwarils ; 'but that was only where there Was an emergency Irhile did not permit del in the landing of the troops till the proper conmennication could he ihAde . to Parliament. Ilere the landing of the troops Nvas a merematterof convenience', which Iniglit : ha(:e been the subject of previous arrange went ; and where there had been nothini, to pre vent a communication • being made before the troops were landed. It was also in point of prin ciple .worthy of notice, that these troops were riot even - in British pay, and consequently: not at all under the controul of Parliament. The ques tion was put merely on the constitutional ground, and not from any desire that the convenience might be withheld from the Illustrious Monarch to u.hom the troops belonged. 'lle hopeelthe Noble Earl would be able'to give au answer that ought to he satisfactory. The tarl of LIVERPOQL had ngthing to emu- FL:in of, either as to the nature of the question, or . thr manner in which it was put. None of the troops, to - whkh the Noble Marquis alluded, had as yet been landed in this country, as far as he knew ; and he had, in answer to the question, only to! , state, that be expected to receive the commands of the Prince Regent, to make a com munication on the subject-on Monday. CORN LAWS. Lord STANHOPE stated, that he bad two other Petitions It, present againgt any alteration in the Coin 14i,vs. The first. Petition was from the pa rish of Sr. LAe, hnd prayed that even the Bill before their. Lordships' House might not pass into la" . . His Lurdsh p then repeated certain obser- Tations which he ha , ! made on a former day. The dfsonrce of the evil was the National Debt. prop< r remedy. was to untax the farmers and lal , wlring ch...stbes, and thns our Own Corn would be, cheap enough to meet the foreign Corn in the market, •and the. consumer would have cheap bread without fliscottraging the growth of Corn in this country. The secrlnd Petition he statefl to he a peppering Petition ; and (in reply to a suggestion of Lord Arden) he said, he was per fectly willing that the whole of it should be read ; for though a peppetingYetition, it was conceived in respectful language ; but he desired their Lordships not to take his assertions for this, but to have it rearm for themselves.—The Petition war then read, and both of them laid on the Table:- Lord HARnwICKE, pursuant. to notice, movek that a' Committee he appointed to investigate the Corn Laws, -as connected with the interests of the landed and,commercial palls of the commit- Lity. To this, he apprehended, there could be no' objection in any.rpt trter ; and it was the more im portant as a great deal of prejudice .appeared to prevail-02 the subject. • • Lord DAtt, , ,cLEte stated, that be was clearly of opinion, teat the alteration which had bet') pro posed in the Corn Laws, would have k)een of' great advantage to the community ; though . he bad been a little staggered in that opinion for a moment by the observations of a Noble Friend of his (Grenville), - .hose authority was deservedly so high ;. but he wa'si: notwithstanding that -au thority, ele•arly convinced tliat•the interest- of the • piamtyacturcr •and consumer of every - description, as well as that of the grower of corn and the land. lord, would be best consulted by the adoption of Oc alteration; and he refered to tlie fact, that corn had been comparalively \ cheap at the period when that system had - prevailed, and dear when it had been abandoned.' The Duke of ATHOL approved of the motion, as the best mcans of di)h,g•away the mischievous misconception on the subject. Lord LAtIDERDALF: had no objection to a mo tion of this - kind, but thought it should, he dif- I,Tendy worded_ Tijefe was an idea abroad, as was ilii,strated by his Noble Friend (Stanhope's) Petitions, that the lauded . interest consisted only of landholderS'. This was . a gross error, which had been tne cause of mica of the clamour which had been .raised. No small part of the popula tion ti as cOirhected with agricultural labours aril pursuit's, and their interests were to be consulted as,well as those of the landholders and manufac turers. But in reality the - interests of all were the In order to include the whole subject, the motion ought to be - fora Committee s to investigate thelaws ns far as they were connected with the growth, commerce, and consumption of grain. Lord GREY proposed, that the motion should he worded in this way—("to investigate the Corn Laws, as connected with the growth, commerce, consumption of Grain, and all.the l a ws re.. hit ing :therCtO," same. The LoUD. CHANCELLOR said; that . there was an order of men who werelielther Corn-growers nor . eturers, nrers, :but who though t that the interests °Cali were not only consivent With, bur depen dent upon' elicit other---(llear, hear !).—He never knew a subject on which so .ninch prejudice and error 4-xkted as a l ppezired to exist in this. rd HA sturxlcxi7 had no objection to the al term-4in' tife nortlini; of the motion. e„,•, in i ttee • tray then .ordered to be ap pointed, :ithd-lo' meet -oh I).ionday.- ".1;:e ghtes;loh buihg . pat for the committal of ti, e co n' Bill; LH; Py...ppr,s,ti it, on the ground thal, 1)CV!)

Lord Ila,apwittitz said-, that he understood this Bill to have been on all hands allowed to he ad vantageous.. The country, especially Treiand, would be injured by the delay, and therefore he saw no reason for not persevering. Lord LatintarAo; said, that this Bill OroOld undoubtedly be advantageous, though he admit ted that the part which went to repeal the boun ties on exportation vva.s one which required inves tigation and it would, therefore, he extremely proper to expunge that part of the Bill. , The Bill was then committed. The House resolved itself into a Committee on the Corn Exii&t Bill. Lord LAUDERDALE move, as an amendment, that such part °fit as related to the extinction of bounties should be omitted. This produced a long and desultory conversation. Lord LIMERICK expressed his hope that the amendment might not be urged, as it would be fat a l to the Bill, which was of the first necessity . (or Ireland at this moment. The Marquis of LmcsnowNE was unfriendly to the whole bounty system. Lird GALLOWAY - WlShed that it should be SW Lord :STANITOrr called it taxing the labourer's bejr to raise the price ` of his bread. • Lord LAUDERDALE replied. The Bill then went through . the Committee, and was ()Hero! to be read a'third tifne on Mon day.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. LORD COCHRANE ANT) MR. C.,JoriNsToNc. Mr. BIIO ' ADIIZAII to.ie, and adverting to the late trial in the Court of King's. Bench, observed, that the result of - it had attached to two Alembers of that Hon. - House a charge deeply -involving their public and personal character and honour. Ile therefore felt himself induced, from his regard to the character• of that Hon. House, to. give notice, that it WAS his intention, at.nodistant day, to call the attention of the House to this subject, If .there was any irregularity in the present motion, he trusted. that some Honourable Member would point it out, so that the difficulty might be re 'moved. •t The AfrORNEY-GENERAL.was glad to find that the first opportunity had been taken for calling. the attention of the House to the subect. As to the renTval of any difficulty that the Hon. Gen tleman supposed to he in his. way, -he should sug gest, thst perhitps it would be more convenient for the Ho n . Member not to fax his motion before Tuesday. The reasern of this suggestion was, that by the regular course of business in the Court of King's Bench, it was open to the parties with in, the first four days of Term to move either for an arrest of judgment, or for a new •trial. tie had no particular reason to snppose that such a motion would be made, as, baying declined, to be employed on the trial, io consequence of his duties as a Member of that House, he knew no more of the particulars of the - case than any other Member might be supposed to know. For the reason, however, which he had stated, h i e thought that it would be better not to bring forward the motion before Tuesday, as by , that time the first four days of the Term would haVe elapsed. 11RoAnurtkp acquiesced in the suggestion, and should fix Tuesday next for his motion. The SPEAKER thought it necessary for him to stale, that , the regular acrd usual course upon such occasions was first to lay before the House proof of the fact, and afterwards to give notice of a mo tion at a future day, when notice should be given to the Members who were implicakd to appear in .their places, wml : defend themselves, if they thought proper. The Honourable Member woul , ! there fore consider what sort of :motion he wotld think proper to bring forward in the first place. BRoADHEAD then said, that ise should move on Tuesday next' for a copy of Ibe colviction. The ATTORNEY-GENEKAL said, that he ghoul(' take care that there should be no delay in obtain ing it. •\ Mr. PAnsToN moved for, and. obtained leave tp bring in, a Bill respecting the mode of Attestation and Revocation of Wills. The Report of the Committee on Captain Man by's Claims was received, and ordered to lie on the table,, after a few observations fi;oin Mr. P. lkiooßF., who wished the Claim of the Family of the late Lieutenant Bell to be referred to the same Committee. 11Ir. FisLay moved for a return of the number of Licences• granted by the East India Company since the passing of the last Act, as also of the Fees imposed by the Court of Directors on Ships and Passengers going to India.—Ordere4l. LORD lIILL'S ANNIUITY. iThe CnANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER haVill , ll- r, timated that it was. intended to prppo'se rendering the Annuity perpetual', instead of confining it to the two next heirs of the present possessor of the tide, moved the further consideration of the Re port of the Conte ittce on Lord Hill's Annuity Mr. WYNNE was glad to bear that it was in tended to propose that the Annuity should be in perpetuity. Still, however, he conceived that the sum was wholly incompetent to support the dignity which had been conferred ; and he, in stanced the precedents of Lords Rodney; Duncan, and St. Vincent, in snpport of, his opinion. It was the duty of the House of Commons to place the Noble Lord, and those ,who might succeed to his honours, in a situation, of independence, whmch would 110 t induce them to look to the Mi nister of the day for any additional provision. 'lbe CrIANC,P,LLOR of the-EXCHEQUER, in reply, observed, that alt the precedents adduced by time Honourable and Learned Gentleman-were inap plicable to the present case. Lords Rodney, Dun . can, and St. Vincent, were Oommanders-in-Chief when their respective annuities were bestowed on them by Piirliantent. It was' an invidious task to inquire into the private circumstances of any in dividual ; but, on inquiry, he did 'not find that the fortune of the Nuble Lord in question was such as to make a greater addition to - it more neces sary than it would be to many other noble inch-. victuals. Mr: e,xPlained,-and moved that tjte Bill should bc.re=cominitted. Lord CASTLiii . III6H d6reeatCd any Chailke in tip-. .ordinary practice, unless Parli racnt sat./ dearly some re , as'on f'6l. sY). • , -Fir J. Nttnot.t. felt it to be the •;hity riff PArlta- Ment„ to take 'care :that every individual raised to -the Peerage Tor Otis paLii•o services should have the means afforded hini iif supporting hit dig .pity. He - understood that the Noble Loyd in question was a younger brother of a Large family, and that he had no expectation's. Sir C. Pole and Mt. V. Fitzgerald opposed the re-committal of the Bill, and Lord Clive Sup:- ported it. Mr. WiII'ITHEAD must oppose his Honourable and Learned Friend's proposition, vn the ground that the ;rant was to he in perpetuity, and that a grant in perpetuity for 20001. a year •,vio worth much more than a grant at 30001. a year for OnlY three generations. It was as far as the public ought to go. Mr. PROTHEROE expressed, his approbation of the grant. On the question being put, Mr. WYNNE agreed to withdraw his Amendment, and the original Resolution was carried without a division. Lord PALmERsTos proposed that Friday. next should he fixed for taking into consideration the Army Estimates 'MEATY Al' C tIATILLON. Mr. WurrallEanasked Lord! Castlereagh, whe ther. it was his, inteathm to pioduce the papers which had been 'printed by conimand of the Pi trace' Regent, - kr, order to be laid before the House, re lative to the Treaty at Chadlion. At that time he was one of those whp thought the conduct of the Noble Lord highly justifiable. What' had occurred since was ii9t in his opinion SO satisfactory. It had given "hint great regret and heaviness of heart to find that the .proposal of the abolition of the • Slave Trade had been attended 'With no better success. He wished to know, whether that pro posal had been made to the former Ruler el' France, which the production of those papers would show; and also the aMwer to such proposal. He did not think the House justified in voting ate sums they had done, without every information that could be had, on the subject ; and should there fore, if the Noble Lord did not agree to produce these papers; be under the necessity of moving for, them: - Lord CASTLEREAGH said it WRS his intention to postpone the consideration of the Treaty of Peace trout Friday next to some day in the early part of the week tolloWing. That ,Treaty could trot be discussed without taking in the Treaty at Chatillon. He hoped, therefore, the Honourable Gentleman would be satisfied 'till that discussion tookplace. A to the subject of the MlaveTrade, he assured the Llonourable Gentleman there was a general , repugnance in the French Government atChatillort to the concessio:. Since that, matters had taken a different turn, and every thing Would be fairly laid before the House in the discussion of the Treaty on the table. As the lion. Gentleman had not laid any Parliamentary ground for the produc t-ion of tlitie Papers, he could not consent to their production.' • FOREIGN TROOP*. Mr. WmtNE,addressing the Chitncellor of the Excliequier,' said, that in the case of introducing Foreirn Troops into this country, inGthe years 1745 and 1746, notice had been given to the House before . they cackle. The CHANcELLon - of the EXCIMCAVER said, be was convinced of the propriety of the measure, and, was in hopes to have brought it forward this day, hut other business had pre-vented him. PRINCEs, WALES, Mr. NVITITEREAD said, that ,an Hon. Member had last night given notice of a motion of a very interesting nature, which he meant to bring for ward on" . .fneSday. It hap . pened, however, that many Meinhe-r, would on. that day he under the necessity of :attending at Dxtord, and it would therefore be advisahle to postpone that motion to some later day in the week 'He wished to know if Thursday would be agreeable to the No- We Lord. Lord CASTLEREAGH ttiought that Friday would be preferable. Mr. WITITEREAti said, the Army Estimates were fixed for Friday, and therefore, unless the Noble Lord .(Palinerston) would agree to give this mo tion the precedence, it could not come on that day. lie thought, notwithstaruling, that the best way would be to prevent the motion coming on at all, by taking such measures as would ren der it unnecessary. Lord CASDLIZREAGH said, - he had no doubt but his Noble Friend would agree to give precedence to the motion alluded to,. No.one could depre cate a discussion on the subject more than he did.---The motion was accordingly fixed for Fri day next. commrrrEE OF SUPPLY. The House went into a Committee of Supply,' n which The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved for the sum of 4,000,000/. towards defraying the ex pellees of the Extraordinaried of the Army for 1814. • A conversation took place between Mr. daring and the Chancellor of the Exchequer relative to the subsidies; the former wishing they should be particularly distinguished, the latter asserting they had always been mixed up in the Army Ex traordivaries. Mr,-41usxissoN supported the assertion of the Chancellor of the ExChequer. Mr. WHITBREAD thought a reduction might 'before this hare hy2en made in the troops. Lord CASTLEREAGH said, that pending a Treaty no reduction could with propriety he made, nor had it ever been custOmary. Mr. TIKRNEY .said, they were voting war esti mates in time of peace. He thought there ,was no difficulty in giving the estimate of the expence of the troops at home. :The earliest steps should he taken to save expence, and particularly in the re duction of the Staff. Lord PALM.ERSTON said, that a considerable re duction in-the Staff at home would take place in the course of the year;. but it was impossible to "give any correct estimate at the present moment. . Mr. TIERNEY could not conceive that there was ntiy difficulty its makin an estimate. how many General Officers, &c. would he dismissed. The House had ,nr right to expect a proper estimate, and not. a war. vstimate. • Mr. fitismssoN thutufht that there should he 4»; • < en<: , sornOttEnlie accouni of 'the ,„ especially as aierC jezil.o.llsr; ia r`: --1 try on the snbjec i t (if the sir M. that in troops had been pariTilly disbanded. • M.
