CORN TR Anr.,

Mr. WESTERN tn wed the order of the day,
for taki-e; into further consideration report on
the Coi 'f ra.'e ; which bei.'g read, he moved that
the said report t.e t iv-war:acted.
Mr. PA iTt.SONI desired to know if it was to
be rnommired a Committee above stairs
Mr. WES i•E.RN s,'l, he meant it to be recom-
mitted siire,,ly to a Committee of the whole House.
Mr. JEiVERY (Po: I-4 said, he believed every
day would htirg forth fresh obje.iions ; and that
after all the country wilt be highly dissatisfied. He
w.ts no way de,irett, the price should be kept so low
as at pnesent ; but would have the House take care
how they make prices too high. If they would
bring the prices t., 5G or stis. he would have no ob-
jelion.
Mr. FOSTF.II said every argument just urged
by the Hon. Gentleman would apply in a committee,
and no whero sn well.

Mr. MORRIS said, that as he could not bring
himself to agree with the Committee on the subject
of this PAIL he hoped he should be indulged with a
few observations before the Speaker should leave
the Chair. his ohjeetion principally went to mak-
ing any alteration whatever in the prices tired in
1791. If this cbleftion had been founded on any
more abstritet theori:s, he should have his douhts
as to the propriety of it ; but hc had the authority of
the Committeeitself a;;•ainst the mearoirtt. Ile
was convinced. he sA id, that the Corn Trade requires
no other encouragement from Parliamm, t ran the
prote:tion of the laws to the capital cf it:o:4 con.
cerned in it. If, under that table of exports and
imports, there has been a fair price to the farmer, it
would be wrong to alter it, and, therefore, he found
himself obliged to oppose the present measure.
Mr. H. LASCELLES thought the corn prices
should harp seen regulated according to the va-
riations of money at different periods.
The Iktise thou went into a Committer of the
whole House, %Ir. H. I. asim.t.Es in the Chair:

Mr. PATTESON, in adverting to the prices,
as fixed by the Report, ob.crveJ, that the Irish
Gsntlemen mast, of colrse, wish this Bill to pass,
because Ireland will be able to send wheat to Eng-
land at 4Si. ..vhen it cannot b! sent by foreign coun-
tries at less di in Os. which :s an advantage of I ss.
a quarter, Anti of ts. tJ. b• sides, if they send their
ts neat thtotigh us to foreign countries.
Mr. FOS I'Elt said, the advantage of Ireland
sendi. cr•rn to this country, and this country to
Ireland. would he equal, by making them apply to
each other in preference to sending their money to
In: eiga counties. Su far the Hod. Gentleman was
right in his observation as to behind. He must,
however, think the Irish a strange kind of beings
indeed, to suppose, that when they world have a
t • export directly to (;.reign markets, they
sat tuld be so much in love with the half crown
advantage, hr spoke of, as to ship their corn to
England, to have it unloaded, and s-r.t Cirou,ll
the c, unity, in order to alt p it again f.r a t
port. He nath however, very glad to Al kno, ledge
that the preset:: Lill wou4l te.id very much t. the
ativant:ige of Ireland, and he }roved that evciy
Member of the House would equally rsjoice with
himseli; in applying Parliamenisty provisions, that
should equally benefit every pet of the ioti.ed

Empire. -

IVEDNESIAY, JULY 4.

We yesterday received Paris Papers to the t' Sthr
the contents of which will be found in the lag page.
The speech of "lints POLIONAC, before the Tri.
bunal, will be read with interest. The Mot:dear
betrays a mist suspicious anxiety to contradia the
report circulated in London, that Mr. LIVING.
.TON was charged with a proposition by the
French Government upon his late visit to this
country. We have also received Dutch Papers to
the t?tith. One of than states that the proposition
of BONA, ANTE to garrison three of the principal sea-
port; of the kingdom of Naples with French troops
ha, been acceded to. This lias been long a favourite
<Lica of French artifice and intrigue. If the intel-
ligence be correa, the utter ruin of Naples is at no
great distance.

Last night Mr. Di spites last new Comedy was
received with increesixl applause. Mr. PALMEt,
jun being taker. ,uillenly ill, fr. B sect. v under-
took the part 01 1, iparles at a very short notice, and
acquitted hire •:, euremely well. The Play was
ft:l:cured by • oical Dr.ena.. in two ass, intitled
The ?bleier si ris . The dialogue • and songs
are said to be the prodo rim& of Mr. ELL erne.
•• ,ry is simple and interesting :
at an early are, leaves his native .teary. and to es
to India an adventurer in search c,F ,r..:olth. At the
end of twenty years he retiti.ts, and tinl.l3 all those ties
that bond hitt: to his country broken. A beloved and
only metier. who had been unfortunate, was tint to
be fund. An estate adjoining rim Alies was to be
sold—and he becom .s the purchaser. Ile piece
••ns with the festive prep:tratiotis
the villagers for his recep:ion. He arrives, hie:.iiTl•
palliest by his friend Alareo, and joins in a 1: their
sports. In pursuing the cirace lie is throw, ~•r;
his horse int a thicket, and not inissel by h , .
tendents. Ile meets with a ino t hnerest'lig fu

An eciaireroement ensues, and in the perym woo •
took his pin se, he .discovers hi, 1: n•; lost brother.
The sentiment is natural and relined, and the grave
and the gay mixed and happily contrasted. The .
lively and benevolent Fair could not find- a more
adequate representative than Mr. Li. tarots, nor did
we ever see :Ain appear to more advantage. Mrs. :
GIBBS did ample tice to the cloulsie charasier of
