MONDAY, JOSE 15.

Mr. WHARTOV obtained leave to bring in a Bill to prevent the mak-
ing of starch liom giaille.....The General lnclosure Bill went through a
Committee.
Tile Order of the Day for the third reading of the Sinecure Bill bciog
real, a great deal of discussion took place on sonee of the clauses, and
iieveral amendments were adopted. The Biil was then read a third
time with..iut a division, and ordered fur further coesideration on Wed-
nesday.
Lord Cns rent EACH said, there was a motion standing for Thursday
next, respecting the appointment and payment of the salary of Colonel
M'Mahon, as private Secretary to the. Prince Regent ; he had it now in
power to state, that the salary of that office was to be paid out of
his Royal Highness's own privy purse.--(Cries of ! /eur !)
Mr. SHERIDAN gave notice, that he would un Wednesday bring for-
ward a motion for further and more ample information on the late ne-
goci itions for a change of Ministers. His purpose for bringing this
torward, was to explain his own conduct in consequence of what had
been said in a previous debate.
Lord Yaamoom said, he was unaware of his Right Honourable
Friend being absent when he spoke the other night ; tha-, however, be-
ing the case, he thought it incumbent on him to-re-state the words he
used on that occasion. lie did then state to the House, that it was the
in ention of the greater portion of the Household to resign, and that
they were prepared beforehand to resign, had such a change of Minis-
ters takeu place as was then contemplated. He next proceeded to relate
what had passed between the Right Hon Gentleman and himself.—
" We happened to be both together (continued his Lordship) one even-
ing, at a place where we were in the habit of meeting, and the Right
lion. Gentleman said to me, " I hear you are all going to resign ? !re-
plied. "It certainly is so ;" To which the Right Hon. Gentleman re-
turned, " Then let me recommend it to you as an old friend, to think.
better of it, and not resign." I replied, " that what he said should al-
ways have weight with me; and it was agreed that we should lvve a
meeting next day, when we might talk over the subject." As the Right
Hon. Gentleman did not come at the hour appointed, I did not see him
on that day, but we saw one another attere. artls.
Mr. SHERIDAN here rose, and submitted to the Noble Lord, whe-
ther he was not anticipiting the discussion of V.'eti;:esday.
lard Ymtmou rn said, he was perfectly .wiling to abstain from
t.ling any thing farther, and the conversaticm therefore dropped.
the House being in a Committee of Supply, WALLACE moved
a Resolution for a loan to the Fast India Company.
The motion was opposed by Mr. CiIEEV EY who represented the
Company to be fifteen millions worse than nothing.
Mr. C. GRANT, one of the Directors, said, the Company were not
indebted one farthing to the Country, aid what they did owe, their
India revenues could, if necessary, pay off in two yearit,
After a debate of some length, a division took place—in favour
of the loan 74; against it 3.
The sum of 5,200,0001. was voted for the Army F.xtraordinttries of
Great Britain and Ireland, for the year 1812. The sum of 15,0001. was
%aced for the Commissioners of Military Enqulry in Ireland, and seve-
tar stnaller sums for different miscellaneous services. The House then
resumed, and the Report was ordered to be brought up to-morrow.—
Adjciurned.

ORDERS IN COUNCIL.
Mr. BROUGHAM rase to bring forward his motion on the Orders in
C ,uncil. It was not, he said, neceAsary to prove to those who had
heard the evidence, that the merits of the case lay within a very narrow
compass ; and those who had not, he would soon convince that the cala-
mities of the manufacturing districts of the country were of such a na-
l'lre a 3 not to be paralleled by any former ercurnstances. It was melan-
choly to hear the respectable aged men, who bad appeared in evidence,
lamenting, not the injuries which they were themselves sustaining, but
that they could no louger continue to relieve those unhappy persons who
,had been empl :yeti by them. The Hon. Gentleman then spoke at some
length. of the petitions which were heaped upon the table against the Or-
ders in Council. Those Orders, he said, were issued protessenly tor the
protection of trade, but they had so far failed in answering than purpose,
that aher four year 3 trial of their friendship, all Warwickshire, York-
shire, and Lancastershire cried out at one time against then, and in fact
the whole country, with one voice, deprecated their assistance. He nest
tad% erted to the excesses practised upon the machinery, to thu applica-.
%%run made to the Courts of Law to enforce the statute fixing the rate of
t, ages, to he numerous petitions for the abolition of sinecure places, and
s'..","e.against th.: monopoly of the East- India Company. All the,e, he
,°.!(l,,n.riglnated in the system of the Orders in Council. The diiitresses
w.uch that system had marked tlatt country were wily to be compared
