MILIT %AY OBSTRUCTIONS IN Tun STREETS.

The Earl of Essta called the attention of the House to an
outrage offered to his person, in the avenues to Parliament.
1f complained that he nelg stopped in his carriage, by a soldier
with a drawn stnyid, at the end of St. James's-street, who re-
fused to let him pass, and struck the louses with his swot d.
This he considered not only a breach of privilege as a Pear of
Parliament, but a proceeding dangerous to the freedom of the

subject.
The Earl of Litt:uprot. said, the object he had in view in
placing soldiers mind the avenues of the palace wta only for
the purpose of preserving order.
Lord OREN MLitt considered the practice of placing the
military at the Levee a dangerous proceeding, adverse to the
constitution, and deserving of reprobation. The civil power,
nanwly constables and magistrates, could only be employed, '
unless the peace was broken.
The Loin CHANCELLOR was of opinion the civil power
ought to be employed; yet he had no objection to see the
soldier do the fluty of a citizen in preserving the peace.
The Marquis of LILLIONCHA )1 asked the secretary of
state for the Home Department, whether there would be a re-
currence of the interruption complained
Lord Sinsiourst said, in consequence of what had passed
yesterday, be telt it incinnbent on him to take care that civil
officers in future shall be stationed in all parts of the town
where the military are employed.
After some further remarks from Lords Grey, Hollans. and
Buckingham. the subject was disposed of, an assurance being
given that the constables and magistrates are in future to be
employed instead of the soldiery.
Lord LANSDOWNE, after a speech of considerable length,
moved for a return of the amended estimates for the service of
the year, and after a lung debate, his motion was agreed to.—
Adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, MONDAY, APRIL 1.
LORD ELLENBOROUGH.
LordCoate ANS rose to present another charge against Lord
Ellenborongh,which,lie obscrvcd,could not by any construction,
be tortured into an implication of any of the other Learned
Judges. The charge was delivered in. It accused the Noble
Lord of partiality and oppression, in refusing to hear the noble
Lord (Lord Cochrane), on applying for a new trial; and, with
misrepresentations, inducing a false conclusion on his trial, in
respect to the evidence given against him ; and by such misre-
presentations, impressing Mr. Justice Le Blanc with a wrong
idea of the merits of the case, which led to the infamous and
unjust sentence pronounced against Wm.—The Noble Lord
moved, that the charge be printed.
Mr. B. BATUURsT conceived that the charge went to incul-
pate Mr. Justice Le Blanc, who was accused of passing an tin-
iest sentence, thoirgh the Noble Lord had stated he did not
mean to impugn the conduct of that Learned Judge. The
Right Hon. Gent. then moved that the further consideration of
the question be adjourned till Friday next. Agreed to.
WAR MALT TAX.
Mr. Lyrreivon asked in what manner the Right Hon. Gen-
tleman meant to dispense with the Malt-tax ; what drawback
he intended to allow; endwise his general object was in giving
relief?
Mr. Vawarrranv observear, that a Bill was in preparation
•n the subject. He had already stated, that the Maitsters
would he entitled to the re-payment of the duty which they
'nay have paid for the stock in hand. In order to prevent the
stagnation arising to the Brewers, an arrangement would be
made also for taking an account of the stock in band, as in the
farmer ease, np to the sth of July, so that they might be en-
abled to brew to that period ; when the War Malt duties would
he repaid to them fur We whole of their present stock.
Mr. CALVERT was afraid. that the Right Hon. Gent. had
misled the House ; for be believed that lie wished the Brewer
to brew as fast as he could, and lie would give him a propor-
tion of the War Malt-duty up to the rith of July; but it he did
not brew at all, then he was hi lose the w hole of the duty on
stuck in hand allowed to him.
Mr. VANAITTART was disposed to enter into the question
with every degree of liberality ; arranizernei.ts might be made
I'r beer already brewed, as well as if the brewer contiuued
to brew ap to tke Sth ofJuly.
NAVY ESTIMATES.
In the Committee, Sir G. WA Ith Rh DER moved, that a sum not
exceeding 43,8641. Od. be granted fur ilka service of the
Navy Pay Office for the present year.
Mr. ISESINETT allotted 10 the office held by the Right Hon.
Gent. (Mr. Rose) of Treasurer of the Navy ; and objected to
the grant of 404101. a year for the pay of that Officer. The
Noble Lord, he observed, had been compelled to withdraw
the Army Estimates, to ntal a some reductions; and be saw no
reason why, under the general distresses of the country, sonic
reduction should not take place in the Civil Department of the
Navy.—The Hon Gent. moved, therefore, to reduce the Trea-
surer of the Navy's salary to 20001. a .ear.
Mr. Rose expressed his satisfaction at the manner in which
the Him. Gi ot. had proposed the reduction. Ile did not ore au
to say, that his labours were worth 4000 i. a year, but lie wished
to observe that at the Revolution the Treasurers of the Navy
had looin. a year, to which office 14:111 attached many perqui-
sites : but in order to reduce these profits, an .elilition of 20001,
a year was made in lieu of them. Now, he did .10it see why
he Sit. mid be ni de the mark flu reduction, nor would i, be im-
puted to him that lie clung to office. gstead of its being an
office otlistte troonie, he had to assure the House that he had
•ften becu up two hours before day-light to attend to the
