committee on the agricultural. home tax.—The report ou
Monday.
Sir J. NEWPORT called the nitration of the house to a
statement that had appealed in several papers respecting
the Mani heeler suclet), which had its signs and pass
words, to which the Duke of York. was said to belong,
and which was contrary to the acts of 39,1 h and bOth of
Gen. Ills lie wished to know whether the facts were
correct.

The Marquis of LONDONDERRY replied that the
il-
lush ions duke had committed to suffer his name to be place&
as the honorary president, not considering it a political but
merely a loyal asiociati )))) ; however, the moment it became
the matter of question and observation, the Duke forwarded
a letter, begging to decline bi ing any longer consideled the
preiiailent of this society. (!tear.)
Sir J. NEW PORT expressed his approbation of what had
just been communiented ; he had only to add that he hoped.
the law officers of tile crown would forthwith proceed against
the remaining members of the society, they being clearly
otfenders against the law.—(Hear, hear.)
A petition Naas presented from Norwich against the to-
bacco duties and ordered to be printed.
The evidence of the select committee on the Guadaloupe
particularly Gen Destorneaues claim, wit., laid befose
the house.

Mr. P. GREN FELL begged to call the Idtention of the
boils, to this mo 4 extraordinary claim. It originated his
1793, when, Itott eve:, we had po-ession of Guad loupe
only six necks, and for 10 years not one word of this claim
was heard. The claim was fur upwards of 40,00(11.
Mr. Al ARA V r added that he and another member
had been acquainted with Cluadaloupe for years, and till
now they had never heard of this elalln. (Hear, hear.) It
was a most exit wadi nary claim. Papers ordered to lie of
the table,

STaTis or Sir' hy.—Lord W. BEN'fINCK brought for-
ward his promised motion regarding Sicily. He spoke
of that country's deep. rooted attachment to (ireat Britain.
When our intercourse with Sicily ceased, It was stipu-
lated that the inhabitants should nut be exposed to any
proceedings on account of political opinions ; but he la-
mented to say that those stipulations had not been well
observed. Now, however, when the Constitution of
Naples was about to be established on a solid basis, he
thought it became this country to interfere in behalf of
our ancient ally Sicily. (Hear, hear, hear ) His lord-
ship concluded with moving an address to the King, ex-
pressive of the mortification felt on learning the measures
adopted, calculated to abridge the liberties of the Sici-
lians—an abridgment that it was feared would expose the
British name to the imputation of having countenanced
it; and praying his majesty to adopt measures, by repre-
sentations, to puerile the testuration of the Sicilians'
rights.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY thought that Eng-
land, tinder all the circumstances, had pursued time best
course that coals be pursued. As to the King of Naples
lie had not seen any thing in the t onduct of that mouarcls
that was calculated to oppress the Sicilians.
Sir J. MACKINTOSH strongly supported the motion.
The 'muse then divided. The hers were for the
motion :is, against it tal, majority agents( the motion St.
LAYBACU I)ECLARATIOO.—Mr. S. WOR'CLEY next
brought forward his promised motiun, of which he had
given notice, respecting the doeinnents generally known
by the name of the " Laybach Declaration." It was the
deleratioe issued by the sovereigns, who had assembled
at Laybach' on the terminatien of their labours for the
present. That document coutained principles respecting
the state of things in Europe, the rights of sovereign.„
Sic. of the must rep-chewable character. They were at
variance with the British Constitution ; and if the doe-
tithes of the Lay hooch derlaration waic athuitted by that
hive of Europe—if they were itrogilized as the law of
nations, then would this country be ma 3141 C oh outlawry.
He felt confident that the noble lord mist reprobate those
principles, and that his lordship would omit nu opportu-
nity tit expressing such reprobatiuti ; but it was never-
theless to adopt soil' 141v41S1111:4 to express the sense of
that house on the subject. lie therefore concluded with
moving au address for the production of the paper in
question.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY observed, that the
hon. gentleman was not prepared to sound any proceed-
ing upon the mere he coiled fur, but merely wished that
they should be laid on the table. 'lliere was in his upi-
' Mon no principle more clearly founded in parliamentary
wisdom than it was inexpedieut to call for the production

approbation of the principles advocated in the documents
which had been brought under the notice of the house

to confound a just and necessary revolti:iiiii with that spi-
rit of anatchy and total subvet.ion or all order which
might he said to have found sancuvo 4:Yril in that home.
