PERUVIAN BARK RILL.

Mr. HIES la oksjected to the Bill upon grounds
formerly, ulyed mid moved, aa as Ameudmeut,
"That tt be read a third time this day &re months."
SirJoits Newroar thoit4ht that the only effect

the Hill could have would be to moiler:de the '
enemy, and throw ohatsclesia the war of the nego-
ciatioas for peace. He therefore should vete for
the Amendoseut.
Mr. GKOROII VANSITTART thonght it did wet
appear eaknlated to gain the object in view, and
would only subject us to odium from the Cootinen-
tal Poweri, who would accuse us.of inhutnar:ay.
Mr. PONSONDT said, he w:ia of opinion nothing
could tend more to sink the character of the notion
in the estimation of the world.
• Mr. WEI MASAO took occasion ea. remark upon
1 the strange incongruity. of bringing forward a war
measure of this abominable description, immedi-
ately after Ministers had beard read at the Table
of the House, is-Petition, signed by no less than
FINIS,' THOUSAND supplicaata, for the restoration
et the blesoioas of peace. Could there be any
thing more ritficulons or more cruel, than to in-
sell such a large body of the people with briugin,,
forward such a measure, and adopting such a 'utak
of peocedare ?
I Sir Rosser Peet spoke in fay.
our of the Bill.
Mr. Meager said, he had not spoken befi.7

upon the viibject of .1.14 impolitic measure.

tunity of doing so. The floe. Gentleman then
antvre.l at some length in descanting upon its
▪ rurrlitv ; and concluded with saying, lie should
vote for *the amendment.
Mr. Cattily's, with more than usual brevity,
but with his accustomed acuteness, remarked, he
did not doubt the Hon. Gentleman opposite (Mv.
Hibbert), had not spoken upon the subject before,
but it was perfectly apparent 'frit his speech upon
it had been 111114 e below--/Hear! hear ! hear !

EXIPORTI.

Mr. BARIun stated that rune misrepresentations
had gone abroad, in consequence of what had
fallen front a Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr.
Rose) not the.) in his place, relative to the amount
of exportations from this coautry, which he wished
to hare cleared up. That Right Hon. Gentleman
had state.l. that the exports of this country, in nine
weeks of this year, hail exceeded by 100,0001. the
exports foe an exactly similar periOd of the former
year, in order to spew the good effects of the Order:

surprised the merelianm He had for his own port
carefully ex:l:flitted nut inquired into the state of
the maim factories of every part of the kingdom, and
be was sire that dtstress, and not prosperity, was
generally prevaleat.
The S •::stten here spoke to order, as there
HMI no qu !,tion then befnre the House.
'no! C:IANCC I LOR of the EXCHEQL ER was pro-
ceeding to explanation, when he too was cellei to
order by 31r. TiERN RE, 011 the saint actinism.
The Set:Si:Ca thought the lii;Jit Honourable
Gentleman might proceed, if he merely meant ex-
pl.:nation, withont recurring particularly to what
passed upo t a former debate.
The Cu wit nt.toa of the EXCHEQUER then ad-
ded, that the opiJhato winch had been given as to
the comi.a7ative amount of exports *Untied to, did
not refer to the general exports of the country, but
to the exports from the port of London to
Lu7.),w, with. • iv: exception of the article of coffee.
114 BINI: then rive notice that he would, on
next, move for a return of exports for the
last t:wee mouths.

turns, by order of the House, relative to the boon-
voliriteers into the Royal Marines,
