CALL OF THE HOUSE.

suit°, of the Resolution of the last Session, relative to hearing

4141=tie asumble of absentees when the Clerk bad called over

ra 01111110111111111kal that many Noble Lords would probably come

SOUTH AMERICAN PROVINCES.
The Marquis of LANSDOWN observed, that he would take
that opportunity of adverting to a very important communication
contented in his Majesty's Speech relative to South America. He
had no wish to run a race with Ministers In bringing that most lin_
portant subject before the House. If they meant to propose a re-
cognition of the indeper.dence of those provinces, he was ready
to give his Majesty's Nlinisters the opportunity of conferring
the full benefit of such a measure at the country, and the
world at large • but if he should find that Noble Lards opposite
were not inclined to declare themselves timenly and unequivocally,
at &proper time, on that great a id important point, he should not
be disposed to acquiesew in any unnecessary delay. He should not
then name any day to bring the subject before the House; not so
much in consequence of what had passed with their Lordships, as
from what had occurred elsewhere. It was understood that a com-
munication had been sent out to Spain on the subject; a very early
answer to which might now be expected. Important communica-
tions might also be looked for from the Consols or agents sent out
so lately as last November; he should, therefore not now name •
day for making a motiuu relative to the South American Prosiness;
and he was aware that various national reasons might prevent Mi-
nisters from mentioning a time ; but if the subject was not pee-
vioudy brought before the House, he would sonic day, early in the
next month, submit a motion to their Lordships, to present an
humble Address to his Majesty, prayirg him, to acknowledge the
Independence of the South American Colonlest
IRISH DISTILLERIE-4.
The Marquis, of LANSDOWN said, that in moving for the do-
cuments he was now about to do, he thought, that if there was any
man who still believed that taxation did not operate upon consump-
tion. the production of the papers he should move fee would cos.
wince him of the error of his opinion. Their bwdships were aware
of the reductioc that had taken place on Irish spirits by the measure
of last Session. At present the duty was Is. per gallon, which hat.
produced a larger sum to the revenue than it did at the time spirits
were paying fie per gallon, which clearly showed that a reduction
'of taxation would not only increase the wealth of a country, but also
its revenue.
The Noble Marquis moved foe an account of all cotton goods
expand from and imported into Ireland, from July, 11H2, to
February, 1823.—Ordered.
Also, for an account of the number of gallons of spirits distilled
in Ireland from the 10th October, 1822, to the Ist January, 111:3.
Ordered.
Lord HOLLAND Naked if any communication had issued from
the Throne for the appointment of &Deputy Spulter of the !louse ?
The LORD CHANCELLOR replied, that Lord Gifford was
appointed to that office
Adjourned.
