find, that the case was very different now (lion what
It was in 1808, when it appeared that there eav :ms
actual failure in the crops of Scotland and the
North of Ireland ; and that the scarcity was
still further increased by the ports of lii • Baltic
being shut by Bonaparte. It was now very dif-
ferent. The crops in Scotland had exeeerld e! at
was called *LI average crop. and the potatne4, on
which the population in the Higlilsnds ao mecli de.
trended, were very plentiful. to Irel Ind the ern; s
were superabundunt, end that (*Wintry only
paired r market to get rid of the 'surplus. Thus
the imports from Ireland might make imp for any
deficiency in England. He supposed the Right '
Hon. Gentleman would argue from the high price
of grain at this tnoineut ; but was lie not aware
that this was in part only nominal, from the depre-
ciation of paper currency I Hs would oppose Inns
also on this principle, that the cons-trade ought
never to be meddled or interfered with, us this was
an act of inju.tice towards the farmer, whose pro-
duce wee rendered less valuable than it would
otherwise be. He had hearth it meted. that it was
nut intended to extend the prohibition to Ire-
land. Thi., if it was meant its a coucession, Ire
could as la r. the Hight Hon. Gentleman. would
not lie reek us II benefit lid one; because, al the
same lam, r spirit inter, ouri.e with the. c( try
would tae prohibited, and Ireland thereby deprived
of a market. The Hots. Gentleman then wrist in-
to a comp irutive statement or the prices of grain, at
the pa sing of the act, and the present time, Ind
contended, that the same neces.ity did not now ex-
ist fur its continuation, that existed for its enact-
ment; nether would the measure operate as a per.
inauent benefit to i.hinters ; it might itolrrol afford a
temporsity rebel v. ii.vs waiithi;:, whit h seas WA the
ca,e at p. tient, ::v sugar had risen nearly one-half
since the passing of the act, but it could never he t&
permanent utility. He concluded by moving the
above atuendment.

Mr. Roan thought going into a Committee of
the whole House. the most expedient was for con-
sidering the question. Had that lion been cur-
ried, he would not have found at neceuary to go to
any great length iota the principle of the measure,
which he considered as fully established the last
Sess on. The saute cruses existed now. Th.. price
of grain wits higher than when the Act was passed ;
which was proved by the Returns before the House.
The rise of the price of bullion could by no 110.111114
balance this loci-rase of price. to which it Lore
no proportion. He could see no occasion for a ,
Committee to inquire into the scarcity of provisions.
The best proof of the abundance of the article, was
the price of it. With rupcct to the Hun. Gentle-
man's assertion of the aLuorlant crops in Scotland,
lie would only say, that an Hon. Member from that
country, now beside him, complained very much of
the great dam ige that had been done to it before
it was get in. As to 1411 and, it certnirily wee not
his intention to extend the prohibiton to that
country; for there were many r 4 aeons which the
Hon. dent. had not contemplated. From the su-
perabundance of the crop the prohibition was un-
necessary, and would be injurious. Another reason
was, that the revenue was not easily collected in
that country. The Hon. Gust. had exclaimed
against the prohibition of spirit intereourre, as con-
trary to the Union, and not benatic el to Ireland.
To this he would say, that it was absolutely neer,-
sary while they were allowed to distil from corn.
which the other fp-until was oat, and that the same
prohibition already existed, and was found to be-
nefit and protect °lreland.

Sir Jonas NeWPORT thought, that they need go
no farther than tise Report of the Committee upon
the bad consequences of prohibitions, to see the
impoitcy of reacietiiii; to them in the present case.
The Committee had expressly Anted, that in their
opinion they had a tendency to injure the agricul-
tural interests of the country, and that nothing
but the strong statements of the West India mer-
chants conld induce them to recommend even •
temporery ailoptiom Ile did not think that they
were warrante 1 iii contintiimt the prohiletion spins
the hare statement of the Right Hon. Gentleman ;
it became them particularly to weigh the subj. el
well, a. no mats could deny that it was an infringe-
ment otthe articles of Umun. It had been asked,
would the distillers of this country submit to the
prohil.iUon, without a suopereion of the inter-
course in the article of spirits, between the two
countries ? He saw no reason why they. should
not; be saw no reason why they should ob-
ject to the performince of the articles of Union.—
Illear ! hear !) 11 this measure was to be pt r-
oister' its, he conaideied it so gross an act of loitt--
tire towards Ireland, that lie should, at a ripire
period, propose a suspension of the inte:coorse be-
tween the two couistries in cotton goods, to conti-
nue wine the prohibition upon the spirit trade
lasted. A prohibition similar to the re..0.1t was
laid 0.1 by the former Parliament, hut then it was
only for a period of six weeks. But the present
Parliament continued it without riveting into any
inquiry a. to its necessity. lie wished to support
the West India trade, but it was not by such little
temperary experbents. If this measure wit. per-e-
-ver. it in, ha should consides it es a home brow to
the nericialtitral interests or Ireland.
Mr. YOMLIi wished for a Committee, and
thought it would appear that there was no neets-
sity for extending the prohibition to oats.
Mr. PERCEVAL thought that when they mini-
'lewd the alarm which win geoemlly spread by the
appointment of Committees to starve into the
state of grain, they would be slow to arlopt the
Amendment. It had been rekesented as a breach
of the Article. of Union ; it was not a breach in
the to-int, nor ilid lie believe in the letter of the act.
The lion. Baron-t had threatened them with pro-
posing a prohth:tiou upon the cotton trade. Did
he think that that would be • benefit to Ireland
Hear ! hear !
,/'runs Sir John Newport.) If he
did, there teas yet no analogy b. tisceii the two
es..Ys to justify *mil a proposiiinr. If the impart-
ation of spirit. from Ireland we. not pru!libito
the grain "timid he rent there crnirt the ut,uner,
an I returned, /*fier distillation, so that the object

*hie% Government had in view would be com-
pletely defeated.
Mr. MAURICE FITZGERALD Paid. that the enrn
trade was the auple tr.ide of liclat.d, and that , v -
ry possible encouragement ebould be given to i!.
The ccosequence of a ddrerent policy icoold
that rug country, whici laa. in the habit of draw-
ing •ulgd,ee from Ireland, weii!rl be driven to the

lad: • raerchania.

Mr. FOITLIt raid, that the crop in "eland this
yemr was abundant, particularly in the irrtiOe of
uotatofts, of which there was a greater plenty than
to any former year. He opposed the amendment.
Mr. NlsaaTaxc oppomed it elmo.
Lord ARCHIBALD HAMILTON wished. that, if the
prohibition upon the dimtillaiion of grain wns con.
towed here, tt ought to be extruded to limb,: 1.
Scotland, he thought, would be • los►►, if it was
not, for it was known that she drew much grain
from Irelsud.
