- Sir JOHN NEWPORT rose to suggest the pro-
priety ot postponing the second leading of the lush
Inberrettion Bill, which had hems fixed for W-J-
-nesday nest, until .a future dry. The Right Km
Baronet said, his reason tot making this sugges-
tion was, that as an imp.irtare bnonels stood for
that day, which was lively to create much debate, and
as he understood some gentlemen were anthills to
submit their opinions upon ,his Bill to the House,
he wished it postponed to some more convenient
oppietunity•
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCIIEVF.II.
said, Ise could by ISO means consent to the postpone-
ment of this Bill beyond Wednesday, pat ticularls
as the present Bill would rive on the Ist of Auguw,
and there would not he mote than sufficient lime for
the Bill now pending to go through ha various
stages.
The CHANCELLOR tA the EXCHEQUER,
pursuant to his notice, obtained leave to bring in
a Bill for continuing the Aft of the 45th of His pre-
sets' -Majesty, Chapter 47. coostitto tog Commissiou-
me of Military Inquiry. He said it was not neces-
sary, for him to enter Into any discussion upon this
sablea, the adore and ohjea of 'which were so well
ktwatera. and so highly approved ot by that House,
and the public at large. It was proposed by thi.
Hill to limit the power of the Commissioners to the
month of June In the next year ; this was done in
consequence of a communicarren with the Commis.
stoners, who wished to be limited to that period, in
the hop« that their labours would not be necessaty
beyond that time.
Mr. COCITh ANE JOHNSTONE. pursuant to
entice, robe for ti e perpew of moving, " that there
be laid before the House an account of the stale
of Balances for dent against the Army Agents,
up to the latest prt,..d. fur as the same could be

And also an account of the several SOTS voted by
Parliament for the Compassionate Lot, the names
of the several Persons upon the said List, together
with the reasons for placing them upon the said
List. with the sums paid to each, &c. &c. &c." He
shortly o►served, that his reason for making this
motion, was, that understanding there were large
Balances now in the Agents' hands, upon these se-
veral A r counts. unapplied and unaccounted for, he
wished these F/ocuments to ►e laid briery the House.
preseoits to any step be might hereafter find it ne-
cessary t. take npu.n this subjrft.
Attar a few words between Mr. Long, Lord
Charles Somerset, the Secretary at War, and Mr.
Hose, as to the mod.fication of these accounts, the

BREACH OF nuvILEGE.
Mr. BARHAM tow to present a Petition on
behalf of Mr. .Jonathan Brundrett, who had been
committed to Newlyn', by order of the House, on
Friday last, for refusing to answer a question put
to him by the Home. The lion. Member -tared.
that the Petitiorer was fully conscious :if the error
lie bad been guilty of, and expressed every contri-
tion and sorrow for his fault; he was now ready to
answer any question the House thought proper to
put to him, and declared his season for refusing to
answer the House, arose not from any motive of
disrespeet to the House, but from a sense of profes-
sional infidelity. lie said, he should also move the
postpoompent of these prcueedings for a few days
beyond Thursday next, as he should not then be
able to attend in his place.
The Petition was then brought up, read, and
ordered to lie on the Table.
Mr. BARHAM then rose to ranee, "That Jo-
nathan Brundrett be ordered to attend at the
liar of the House to-morrow, in order to be dis-
charged."
Tile SPEAKER observed, that it was his duty
to sugg-st to the House, that as th:s matter stood
for Thursday next, it remained with the House to
say, whether, in this Case, they would deviate from
that general rule which hitherto had never been
broken in upon, in order to the discharge or en,'
individual out of custody.
This CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
said. that as this person had now righted lorns::Ir
with the House, he saw no obje:tion to his attend-
ing to-morrow, in order to his being dis-
charged. At the same Cone an order s'enthl be
made to insure his tutor, attendance when calla!
open for that purpose.
Mr. JEFi2ERY said, he had no motive what-
ever for wishing to prolong this person's coutine.
ment, And the only objet with him for postponing
the business to Thursday. wa, the uliavoidable ab-
sence of one of his witnesses.
Au Order was then made for the attendance of
Mr. Brundrett to-morrow, to be dacherged, and
also for his future attendance.
Mr. LETHBRIDGE postponed the further con-
sideratiun of Mr. Palmer's Petition. from to-mar-
row, until that day s✓"night.
Upon motion of Mr. WH I ['BREAD, the order
of the day for the second reading of the Po.r's
Rena Bill was read.
hIr.MOBRIS expressed his warm approbation of
the principle ot the Bill By the present state et
the law. 110 pauper could receive parochial relief,
till he resigned his bed from under him. But the
present Bill made no such reqoiremenr, but gave a
discsetirmary power to the Justices ; he should,
however. soggest an Amendment. that the 't.te
of the pauper should oodeiga the previous iretsti-

gallon of tl.e Oversee". There were some (if

it. Thus, instead of an innovation in our s;;
book, the old law of settlement would be re‘
and inacb of the present causes of litigation
varied. He also objefled to that part of the
which Arjefled to the hiding of vestries, as
vest. tea a new species jurisdiaiou. Prtkolis
ested in the decision should not be stiff red to
take Any part in it ; and, therefore, he should prefer
trusting to the discretion of the Overseer, under the
old Aa cf Queen Elisabeth. In public vestree,
patocloal business was apt to be dr'ne litigHus!y
ald p:atirely. Nor did he approve of that clause,
which proposed giving rewards to the indu,tnaus
Pour. An industrious head of a family wield be
but little aeluated by a reward of ten petti;ds, or
even twenty pounds. National rewards were vete
fitly given c' ills of military prowess. or to men of
science devoting their lives to discoveries of national
importance, as in the ease of Doaor Jenne!, for
the ‘cleemt of Vaccination t but humble social
duties were fittest to be th-ii own reward, and did
not require such aid' to stimulate to the praft.ce of
them. He di I not. however, mean to (Aka to

nature, fit to b come an aft •it the Legislature, and
have the forms and sanaion of law. As to the
clause itpeatitig the Ait 9 Geo. I. which went to
de-y :Atte to those who teased to be maintained in

Overseers had already a discretion on that scbj-d ;
they were under no legal obligation in require poa
pers to go into the Worklionee as a condiuor, or re-
rutf, but might relieve the industrious pony, witheta
that compulsion, as appeared from the Afi 3ti. Goo
111. in cases of sickness and infirmity, and where
the condition of the Workhouse was such in a p,tisir
as should leave a discretion with toe Maeomtues
how to :ist. still he approved of the genera Fria.
ciple of the Bill, and of the ether clauses, sad
duals! therefore vote tor Ole secnnd reading.
Mr. D. GIDDY said, be was not for relatioe
die Law of Settlements, which would occasion great
inconvenience. particularly in seaport towns.

Mr. WHITBREAD said, he should think Linea
self amply gratified it any of the provistens et t;:ii
Bill wrie adopted. He hoped that relief unsold be
gran.ed w the poor, without first taking from thein
alt that they had. He was surpired to heat the
Honourable Gentleman declare his oppoeitio• to his
doing away the Law of Settlement.; • law los;eti
was niou oppressive to those who paid the Peer's
Rates, and vexatious to the poor, as well as a
fertile coulee of litigation and expense. Hemmed
he might lodge his appeal with the Home,
whether a relaxation ot the Law of Seidman
ought not to be adopted. 'do far as that lalr
respeßel the situation or the labouring pan of the
community. whether peepers ought not to obtain a
settlement where their days of Litt-or tredhaw
spent, instead of their being sent roe SO? miles of
amongst strangers, and where thee had not laboired.
He stated the instinct of a person brought to him,
as a Magistrate, from a neighbcoring parish, nearly
fourscore years of age, sad who had shut himself
lapin his genet Kith his wile, rither than to he
compelled to remove ; a removal under tech
would have broken his heart ; the man.
however, was relieved, and suffered to remain.
Mr. GIDDY explained.
Mr. ROSE did not mean to oppose the principle
of the Bill, or its second reading. but he wished
some alterations to be intmduc, d ea the Committee.
He should propose the Bill to be printed, which
would afford opportunity for more mature delibera-
tion. He entertained doubts as to the prudence of
shaking the law of settlements, but he approved of
giving to society the full benefit of the labours of
the induvrious poor. He wished the Bill to be
made as perfefl as possible.
Mr. Wilt I BREAD observed, that his Bill did
not supersede the law of settlements; bet f
supet.i.oled a new regulation. He defended his.
self from the charge of pertinacity, brought egotist
him by a parish in the metropols. He depreesed.
delay, and wished those parts of the Kith, at tear
against which there WAS no ooj fhoo, to be c
aged immediately.

EAST INDIA BONDS RILL.
Mr C. GRANT mnveci the Order of the Day
Ulr the second reading of Ibe East India Company's

Breads Bill
Lord ARC! II BA ID HAMILTON expressed
his strong doubts as to the propriety of this mea-
sure Since he had been in the House. three seve.
ral times a million. f money had been voted for the
relief of the East India Company. He wished for
further information to satisfy him, respecting the
state of their affairs. The prevailing sentiment
was, that thy were in a declining state. And this
Rill appeared, epos the face of it, to ',tend these
dificulties, and he feared was pregnant with mis-
chief.
Mr. GRANT observed, that if the Noble Lord
bed attended to his place the ether night, whoa the
satire was under &scission. be might have ob.
pained the Latish/lion which he wished for. The
Noble Lord inquired for what purpose was the
money. proposed to be raised on Bonds, wanted I
His answer was, that there wee a drdrit, owing not
to any want of trade; the debt was not owing to
commercial, but to political tastes. The com-
pany bid sent out large exports of money and
goods. end as yet they had net received adequate
returns. and these exports of money were salt no
public gr rend,. media order to prevent the ruinous
Interest of money in India. *amber owns of this
deficiency arose ?tom the present state of trade in
Etirope, which was not peculiar to that of the
East India Company, but to all other Com.
panies ; and it would be hard if Parliament should
allied relief to other trading °moat ies, and
refuse it to the East India, Company. which had
been required to furnish ships troops, ke. to carry
on military services for the good of the Mo-
ther Country, and as yet they had got but a very
partial return from the Government of that coun-
try, epee which, for these services, it had at present
a claim of ah ut one million. The accounts were
,Laid before the House exaalv as they were received
from In tia. As to the general state of the Company
at present. it was undrcubtedly milk& to a large
tensional debt, but not more than two years pur-
chase; but as affairs were in a bettor state now
than a few months ago. when war raged in India ;
modes of retrenchment had been adopted ; nor were
the surrounding States in a coalition to commence
linstilities. In answer to a question from Lord A.
Hamilton,
Mt. GRANT farther stated, that there was no
existing difference between the Board of Controul
sou the Diredlors, though there was some between
the Compsay and the Officers of the Crown. owing
to their peculiar way .1 settling accounts.— l'he
Bill was then read a second time. and committed,
mid the amount of the Raids stated at two millions
sterling. The Report was then ordered to be received
on Thursday nett.
On the motion of the SECRETARY atWA R. the

At a meeting of the Sheffield Committee, for

several solutions were passed, condemning the
conduS of their Agent, in not presenting is Cie
House of Commons one of the three Petitions pre-
pared against the return of Lord Mit.rori. This
is extraordinary, as a letter was at the same time
read fr.Lm Mr. Semple,* ST•111101.C, Chairman of
' Mr. LAsc a L te Committee in London, dated British
Coffeehouse, Cockspur-street, July lath, stating
that at a meeting e:mvened of Mr. Lase's...es'
friends that clay, it was unanimously resnlvzd. and
with the concurrence of Counsel (Mesa,. D•x-
LAS and Cot:rewire). that any Petition, under the
present existing circumstances, would not conduce
either to the interests of the county, or to the indivi-
dual intereits of Mr. LASCELLIS. The Friends of

NVe irserted, yesterday, an extra& from a let-
ter dated Lisloon, 30th June, stating, that the Cala-
brians, es masse, had totally defeated the French, and
the revoit t‘f 12,000 Neapolitan troops. We do
not know to what &Tree of credit the letter is en-
tided, but we have learned that the French accounts
of the force and defeat of the Prince of Hasse-
Pa ILIIISTAHL are greatly exaggerated. It is now
understood, that this gallant Chief landed in
Calabria with only 5,500 of His Sicatear
Ma-
assrr's troops; they immediately advanced to
Mileto, where a beide took place on the tath of
May, between them and twice the numher of French.
—The Prince did not lose more than 350 in
killed. wounded., and prisoners. Among the hit
were 19 officers. The Sicilian troops fought with the
greatest bravery. After the bottle, they fail back
upon Reggio, of which they kept possession, and
the French were obliged to retire within their old
positions. His Sicilian MINIOTT'S troops have also
become masters et*Ctstrone.
