REPEAL OF THE IRISH INSURRECTION ACT.

Mr. W 1. Ls •mg Y POLE role to move fur leave to
bring in a Bill, to repeal the Insurrection Act, in
Ireland: He said. that when this Act had passed,
there existed the strongest necessity for such a
measure. It was introduced at. a time %lieu the
state of Ireland was so alarming, that the Govern-
ment were not justified in answering fur the pince
and security of that country, unless thole means
were resorted to. It was well known, that the si-
tuation of Ireland. from the year 1796, to the per toil
at which the act had riled, bad been that of
extreme tumult and panic, and that if the power of
quelliog or suppressing this ration of ealaniity
lay dormant, the security of that country was fur
from being established and confirmed: on the con-
trary, it ley most exposed to disordeir, which, if
the Government was remiss. would be iiremc-
diable. This was his opinion, cid it was the
opinion of the Government of Ireland. They
were aware of the necessity of passing that Act, by
which the serenity and peace of the kingdom was.
insured. All the Administrations, from that of
Lord Hardwicke, dowu to the present time, had
made a very lenient and moderate use of the audio.
ray conferred by that act. The Bill had not been
resorted to since it passed ; but it could not be
argued from that circumstance. that it should not
at all exist. The very existence of the law might
have created toot peace and security which the
country at present enjoyed; nod, therefore. have
answered all the purposes of its instii utiool. He
thought it his duty to state. that there had beet,
many instance,' of appbeations from Gelith.inen me-
sideut in Ireland, to h eve districie {deceit
under the Insurrection Act ; but, in come/nester
of the possibility of mainnliniug peace in those
'rids, by other menus, that inen•ure W. 14 not re-
sorted to. It was also the opinion of malty loyal
men. that it was necessary out to repeal this Act,
and that very ill conseyneoces might result from
the adoption of such a meastere ; bait now that the
Government could safely take upon Ciemselves the
responsibility, it would be highly unbecoming to
refuse the repeal of a law. which no lover of
freedom could ever have countenanced, if very-
strong proofs of its necessity had not eti4l-
- and which, greatly as it had added In
the improvement and civilization of Ireland,
ass now incompatible aitlt its liberty. It oat; his
intention to move for leave to Ming iii two Lill+, for
the purpose of preventing the taking of miI:JANI
oaths, and the arms act in Ireland. With respect
to the letter of these, the libeity given to the Ma-
gs:rates, of searching, at all hours, the houses of
soy persons foi arms, was most unnecessary, and
placed in the hands of the Magistrates an extraor-
dinary power, completely formidable to the liberty
of the subject. He would propose, that the Mice
gistrates should not have the power of entering
houses for arms, except when informed, upon oath,
that arms were detained in any house; or on just
grounds of suspicion ; and that such suspicious be
laid before the Lord Lieutenant, in order to pro-
cure his warrant, without which the Nlegistrate
could not act. There also existe 1 a very green abuse,
which it would be one of the objects of this bill to
do away. In the case of an action at law between
one of aloe Magistrates and any other person, if
the verdict was found fur the Magistrate. treble
costs were granted—if for the other, no costs at all
were allotted to him. This bill would establish an
equality of redress.
Mr. IIUTCIIIIIIION said, that be was for plat inns
the most entire coufidence and reliance in the pees.
pie of Ireland. as such a conduct would tend more
to conciliate that country, and rivet it to this, than
any other that could he imagined. He expressed
his most strong approbation of the Right Honour-
able Gentleman's senimetits. and gave his moat
unfeigned thanks to Min for his statement. When
this Bill passed, it was founded upon indiscretion ;
and he trusted the (louse would agree in the tierce.
sity of repealing the Act.
Mr. Pon:tonne said, that he believed the Bill
would cease to exist at the close of the Session ; he
therefore did not see the necessity of going through
the affectation of repealing it now. With respect to
the conduct of the Administration of Ireland,
when this Bill had pissed. the Bight Honourable
Gentleman had been most uurounded iii his lesser.
tions upon that subject. He would not. however,
now enter into a discussion of the misconceptions
of the Right Hon. Gentlem
Mr. MAURICII Frinur.eat.o said. that, had be
been in the House when the Bill pooled, he would
have opposed it, as unnecessary and injurious to
the liberties of the subject.
Sir Jona Neweincr sa.d, that the people of Ire-
land were fully deserving of the enjoyment of all
the liberties and privilege.* of the British subject.
Leave was they given to bring in the Bill.
Mr.tvatr.emes Poax also obigiiiied leave to bring 4 Bills,
IMO to prevent improper persons limo !mann arms in Ire-
land, mol soother to pet vent the taking e( onlawfal oaths.

an extent, that he could moot sincerely have
ed they could have been avoided. Hut, heavy a'
they were, he trusted Gentlemen would think it
more expedient to adopt ',ltch a measure, khan to
load a conntry like Irel Ind with so rest al
amount of new taxes. Irelaud sits a country poor-
main); small c .pital, but rising in trade and com-
merce; and at increase of tales, to the ansolist
now cusercd by the loan, would cramp her too t•
give, repress the epitit of enterprise begioninit
to prevail, end destroy the Mierrias to maim.
which now acted upon her population. Cpoo elms
considerations, he did trust, that the Hotter worta
constdvr the preferable measure wits to borrow to
an aanauut ben, ing en interest of 305,7871. antis''.
or 3314691. lrish, which was all that he called oa
them to 'Novi& for by wew taxes. It miet be sa-
tisfactory for them to know, that, notwithstandiox
the increase if the debt of 'reload since the Union,
her'int r f revenue was proportionably greater.
For instance, iu the year before last. the revenue
amounted to more by 400,0001. than in Itlo4. This
went to the increase of tbe Consolidated Fund.
There was another consolatory point, to which I.:
wialied to draw their attention ; and this was, the'.
by the Sinking Fund, the increasi:ig debt carried It'
own remedy along with it. For, ootatithstamling
the great 10111111 made, and all the sums they

the seine proportion to the public debt es when

From this, hopes might be entertained of the most
pleasiiig nature, that this part f the
the wa Empire
would. in future, be able to ofpy nts of
her sister country. With Irvin& to the imports,those of raw materials, from Britain, predominated;
and this afforded another coneolation, to think,
that the money expended by the one to- totry, found
its way into the other, slid particularly fur its staple
commodity, wood. Ile had, heretofore, been speak-
ing of the official value of merchandise ; but, when
he caine to consider the real walue. and the satis-
factory prospect it afforded, he could -not forbear
saying a few words on that sablei.t. to the flour.—
At the period of the Union, in 1800, the Experts
amounted to 5,000,00014 in 1805, they hail risen to
0.000.0oul.; and iu 180 J, to 1-2,000,0001.; or more
then one-half of what they were ten years ago.
In making this comparrion, he had chosen the 114111 C
ram as hail bees' referred to b hie Right lion.
Friewl (Mr.Prrcer A), when he brought forward the
English Budget. In that statement, Ma Right Hon.
Friend had %hewn thot the eit ports of England iu 1800
were 40 minims, and on the average of the years 1805
and te09,*45 millions. the latter being 50
From this it appeared. that when England *in-
e;eared one.niiith.lrelsod, in the same years, nit-
der all her difficulties, had auensiaited her exports
much inore than cane-half. Considering that she
was able to do this, although the proportion she
bare to the expenses of the state was greater than,
in 164 opinion. she ought to bear, he looked for-
mud to the most &gammons results ; and that the
sinking Fund, which hid Ore My etterveded to R')
great an extent, would, by a moat rapid incurs,.,
do away erery fear that remained on the subject of
the iucreased debt. II icing stated this much on
the gruerat state of the country, lie now came to
