and its produce afterwards with a most heavy and
uojust burden. When to those we add the taxes
paid by the owners and e..itivators of our soil in
connacin with all the rest of the community, the
suns total thus raised is.cnnuch to stagger the most
sanguine calculator on the indefinite powers, which

jealous eye upon .any little privileges enacted in fa-

culture can never spread her sails before a favourable
breeze without Commerce following in her train.
If the protection now ranted against the comp eti-
thin of foreign Wool may be considered, as a small
encouragement to the growth of our own, and it
cannot amount to more, surely it is u in point.
qboon to Agriculture, and as little in point of actual
detriment to our Nfaaufectures as any which could
have been devised. A single pound of long Lin-
colnshire wool, taxed at sixpence, will be sufficient
to manufacture, we almost hesitate to mention how
many yards of the Geer crapes and stuffs, and
diminish %%hat ought to be the additional charge to
the consumer to a trifle hardly perceptible. But
what we would particularly insist on is, that if this
protection can aflixd any encouragement to the
home-growth ofwool, that very effect wiU be by en-
creasing the quantity of production, to lessen on
ilcy.:nd,:uco•uism fitreign markets, and to lessen also
the price itself of the article in question. The
ratio of supply and demand will approximate nrare
nottrly, and thus the value and real worth will
find its proper and natural leNtel. We are .also
impressed with another idea which tends, we
will frankly acknowle4e, to ink:line us to think

favourably of the protection we are now discussing.
The greatest defect in oar modern system, or ra-

Advices of a very interesting and important na-

interests sf •the United States of America, being
related by marriage to the ex-President, Mr. Adam'.
The Minister of War has also been removed, and
appointed Captain General of Grenada, as a kind of
honourable retirement. It is supposed that these
changes are connected with the cession of the Flo.
ridas, and it ntav, cmiseinently, be fairly doubted
whether the Treaty making that cession to the United
States will be ratified lay the Court of Spain. Tlea
politics of the Court of Madrid are the most vacil-

intrigue. At the very moment u Minister ituagiaea
he enjoys the full confidence of his Sovereign, pro-
bably his removal .is fixed upon, or he is displaced
by the appointment ef some rival to fill his situation.
The Marquess de Casa Yrujio is a most honour-

emit tastes to which lie should do nothing more than *Butte at

The House met at two &clot+, pursuant to notice.
HttastrouNit.—On the motion of Lord John Russell, the
House iesolved itself into a Committee on die Grampound Bris
linty 11111.
Mr. Teed wan examined. lie was a candidate at die late
Flertu.n. He directed Mr. A. Lamb to object to some votes,
&Amuse he Lslieved they had bum bribed. Many of the Electors
admitted that they had received money. lie sbewed Sir M.
Lopes a list of manes of voters. and sums of money opposite to
diem. and Sir M. admitted it to be correct. Witness indicted
several of the voters, as well AK Sir M. himxlf, tiCe. ; proceeded
against v 6 of Ma voters, and convicted 2.5 of Mein. He desired
that the bribery oath should be administered, but it was not, lie
did nut mean to pray judguitait against die persons convicted,
until the House should cct.•nuine winiething with respect to die
liornigh. The lira he received gave sums in isoL down to 3H.
to many of tle voters; unit the aecurocy of the list was nut
denied.

.....
The Committee was Cien paetponed till to morrow, when Mr.
Lamb and Mr. Lavie were ordered to attend.
Mr. WAIT:I MAN niuvAl, that the Howe resolve itself into a
Committee on the Mock .kuctions' Bill.
Mr. CALCIAYT said, the spirit of legislation evinced in this
Bill WAS most foolish and impolitic. It W. 44 :laying that weak
persons should not be impowsl on. Could they prevent such im-
positions by this Bill ? Sum., of the pros isions of the Dill were
abstud as well as unwise. First. it said that the proprietors of
property should publish their names preciously to the side ; now
the House could ewily imagine cases where there might be boar
sales, but where gendeinen would not like to have their triunes
known. Again, it was said that an auctioneer should smut sell
his own property. Now, n was no uncommon thing fur gentle-
men to get money from auctionuers on their property ; to transter
it by a bill of sale; such property became the Auctioneer's—was
he not to be allowed town it ? lie concludod withatoving, as an
amendment, that the Bill be committed this day three months.
Mr. WAITIIMA !4 defended the Bill ; referred to measures
formerly introduced to regulate auctions; and said this Bill did
not originate with him—but it had been submitted to, and hail,
he believed the approbation of Government. TM; Bill was of
great importance. As to the proprietors names, the Bill only
applied to manufactured and household goods ; it did nut apply
to burning utensils amid lantled property. The object was ul pre-
vent the sale of goods tuanutacturixt on purpose, as well as of
stolen goods ; and the lion. Alderman instanced many eases of
gross deception, and of bad articles mixed with a legitimate sale.
Vile cheating was carried on by such means. The trader, the
public, and the manufacturer were injured by these muck
auctions ; and such fact made the question one of national ins-
terest. He had attended sales where the auctioneers were res-
pectable individuals, but where the sales had been promoted by
swindlers; and at the New York Cotree house, as well as at the
West End of the Town, lie had personally attended, and had
personally exposed the swindling character of some of the sales.
He trusted that, as the hill was calculated to be most useful, it
would he allowed to go to a Committee.
Mr. Alderman WOOD feared that this Bill would not effect
the purposes desired to the full extent. because many of the
frauds ionmted in changing the articles, which had been pur-
chased ; but still he thought mule of the ref latior.s were likely
to be extremely uieful.
The House then divided on the amendment—For it 29
Against it 47.—Nhijority againit the amendment 18. The Bill
was then committed.

CONSOLIDATIONThe CHANCELT.OR of the
EXCIIE,/I'F.R moved that the Customs' Consolitiation Bill be
read a third time,
Mr. W. SMITH said, that a meeting of manufacturers at
Norwich had expressed themselves against the New Foreign
Wool Duty. It would raise the prices of woollen cloths, and
Government would eventually be obliged to grat.t a botiary oa tae
exportation of such cloths.
The Bill was then read a third time and passed.
Basis iir PT LAW J. SMITII Dtuced that the Bank.

Sir R. WILSON complained of a provision in the Bill which
required the Bailin !opt to ;my cenitin fees previously to obtaining
his certificate, and discharge out of prison, it in custody. As
the bankrupt was supposed to give up all his property, such a
regulation could only be an inducemtnt to the individual to se-
crete property.
The Bill was then read a third time, after which some new
chums were proposed.
Wri.uta roac moved a compensation of 6,‘00. to
General Boyd, which, after some conversation was agreed to.
The CIIANCLI.LOI4 of the Ext. it essuEß. in a Committee of

!!' INA' UN I) LOAN 111111.1.•—On th' motion of the Coax-
ce;i.Lon of the Excitteauart, the Nees: rtiwihed itito a,
committee on the bill for appropriating a portion of the sinking-
fund to the service of the yeal.
Mr. W. Smt7o. after what he had said wane tinte ago, felt
himself called upea to make au observation or two on the pre-
tent octagon. lle had declared it as his opinion three year, ago,
that the country could not go on paying the national creditor. and
supporting the high rate of the sankmg find fur the redemption
of the deLt. lie had in COilb1111C01:1: mentioned, that we sous
either redoee the interest on teat debt, or. in other words, the
virlends ache nattomil creditor, or appropriate the slaking fund.
His opinirre was then rtweivcd with oisapprolatrion, and
dered as calculated to create alanu. It multi not, tlitrefore, but
be gratifying to him to find, that the alternative which he leap
atnied had been adopted. and that the sinking•fund wits now to
Ise apionpriated to tile public service. All inane. now smiled to
concur in what was then very generally objected to; and lie was
happy to find, that a part of the plan fur the ways and means of
the )tar had been taken, without the slightest thdeience, front
hi, tonnetly obnoxious proposal.
Tar CIIANCLLLOiI Or the ExcitErauEtt, in speaking cf
this measure. could not but nwutioci that he looked upon the
present lilli‘loll with pleasure in one point 01 view. as settling the
course of our future tin:mei:ll inea.urt s m peace. anti winding
the long sy,item of borrowing. %%hilt the present tranquillity
prevailed, he was happy to dunk we should have no more need tie
loans. The period of fluctuation hi the public hinds. and spe.
culation tin the stock.exchange. would now be at an end, by the
settlement of our currehey, and the sufficiency of our retources to
answer all public puriskes, without resorting to borroahig. It
might be suprosed that the present measuie would have an un-
favourable effect upon the funds, by thwinulaing die puhdiases of
the commissioners.

Mr. !twain)°, adverting to the subject of the sinking fund,
regretted thut the right hon. gent. hail not snide a final ar—
rangement with regard to it, and thus destroyed that systens
of delusion which laid so lung prevailed. We had been perpe.
tually told of its exi.tence, and yet we had nu real sinking fund
for tile lust four years. The public creditor should be at laic
told the truth. Yet the Chancellor of the Exchequer scented
still determined to keep up the niachinery, fur he hail said that
hem year a e should hare 1t;,000,0001. of a sinking fund, and
should only require to borrow 11,00(40004 for the supplies of the
year, leaving a surplus of 5,004004. for the eatincuon of the
debt. Would it nut be better to destroy the machinery altogo.
tiler, and to say that we had only 5,004,0001. of a sinking fund,
thus confessing the truth in a public measure itself, which aas
admitted in the explanation of it 1
The CHAN CEL 1.0 R of the EXCHEQUER said, with respect to
the sinking fund, he did not mean to pass by lightly the olscr-
rations of the hon. gent.; but he would give it as his opinion,
that we had not yet arrived at a state when it would be prudent
to make any final arrangement regarding it. kle expected that
we should next year have a clear surplus of 5,000,0001. tor the
redeuiptitin of the public debt, and that this sum woukr in a short
tune be increased to 8,0u0,0001. He was wieerssia wliat he
might do next year; but, at any rate, when the sinking final had
attained 8,060,iiti01., it would be time for hint, or his sticeesor„
to propose souse final arrangement.

THURSDAY, JULY I.
The Marquis of TATINTOCK presented a Petition from
Liverpool, signed by 1800, praying the atdoptiuu of measures
of Reform.

Petition read and ordered to be printed.
Sir F. Bonontr rose to hying forward the all-important
question of Reform. He did not know to whom the Noble
Lord had alluded. but he had not dime any thing to separate
the friends of Reform ; on the contrary, he was anxious to
keep them together, and avoid dilfereoces amongst them.—
Much hi.pe had as isea from the new Parliament, but he
had thought and had found the new to be like the.old Par-
liament. He had not brought it forward earlier this Session,
because had he done so, and before the Parliament was
know a, he doubted not that the failure of the question would
have been laid at his door t nay, some might have attributed
to hint the three millions anew taxes imposed on the people.
lle did nut now iiitead to propose any specific plan—he
desired the House to pledge itself to consider this all-impoi t-
ont question seriously early io the next Sessiunt and he
thought this would secure the tranquillity of the Country, and
would, above all, supersede the necessity olagisin reros tilt;
to a su-pension of the Constitotion. lie CO taint), should,
curly iu the next Session, call the a•tention of the House to
the necessity of a serious consideration of the question of
Reform by proposing a plan. He was not for any thing
visionary; what he had proposed in 1809, in particular,
WAS not visionary, and he Will thought that taxation and
obedience ought to go hand in hand wish representation.—
The necessity of a e complete reorientation, and the
right to a more ample Commmis !tome of Parlivinent, were
strongly supported by facts and the best and latest constitu•
s' I authorizes. Judge Blackstone wits of that opinion.
Ile held that the spirit of the Constitution allowed
II %Try man a vote, except stone special reasons agailist
the excise of suck right ; mid yet those who held such
doctrines were now striated jneohioical ; why, knew
nut, except it 'faulted front the degraded spirit of the age.
But was it WO much for the people (.1 require to have voices

one-tenth prat of what their ancestors enjoyed, anti yet were

which they sahmitted to that Hone. The state of
the people too, W:IS soaker argument for Reform ; the
merchants, the in ottifiwitarers, the na,riculturisis, and
esen the monied people complained of distress. The Noble
Lord oppoide. vs ho hod bpokeu of Ilse prospei ity of the
country early is the Session, knew nothing of the seal state
of the country; indeed, how could lie Lleeteil, as that
Howse was, there was nobody iu it alto was interested in
telling the thuds; called together by titled uoouneva, mid

called themselves Whigs, and whim required riarritehment

army were the results of this system. nod that S‘StPlll would
continue so MN; as the people were ruled by the present no
represent:di . It was called a corrupt House, but shut
was au ern mous idea; the assembly was called the reare-
senattives of the people. (Cries of order !)
The SIPEAKC I submitted whether such language ought to be
held.

Sir F. BIJRDI:TT said, whatever the Speaker thought was
incorrect language there, would guide his sentiments. He con-
tinued, contanling that it was not a corrupt House. because they
did the duty of those who sent them, frequently exposing them-
selvis to odium that was unpleasant to the feelings. They
represented the particular Boroughs and Nominees—they did not,
however, represent the People hilly and fairly. The calamity of
this system was, that the King could not choose his own Minis-
ters; the Borough Proprietors is tact named them. The Crown
was thus deprived of its diguity and splendor: in the language
of Junius, the Royal Bird being deprived of his plumage was
fixed to the earth. Another calamity resulted from it; while it
Looted, the expenditure could not he lessened. It was ',hewn in
the instance of the Chancellor cf the Exchequer, who could not
listen to the complaints about the window tax in Ireland, which
produced fevers. and the Lotteries, which produced vice and
!trimonthly. All panic., were interested in the question from the
'King to the Peasant..-.dl except the Borough Proprietors. Mr.
Pitt had foretold, that without reform an honest man could not
he a Minister; that without it the country would be involved in
fresh wars; end slr. l'itt in his owe history unfortunately
realised the truth of Bloc predictions. Ile beeanie Minister. and
intoxicated the country with Isis eloquence; he had gone, toe
wars had ceased, but the sad realities retained behhol. The
state of the country showed that the system was literally grinding
the people to pieces them must be Reform. It was said that
good men would give good measures; that was a fallacy; hut the
axiom ore legislator was, that good orders woual give good men.
(War.) Without the anny, they imaginvel themselves unsafe;
Ism dangerous as had been a standing army to the liberties of
Europe. he feared less from then: than from the gentlemen of the
long fob^ and those clothed in black. (.4 ktfi,./e.) It was raid
that they ought to be in a commanding attitude—but that WAS
unwise, as every boxer could tell slain, for the man that kept
himself always in a state of deli:nee was defeated us sours as the
combat began. The tinny might be relied op, but it would be
relied do in vain, if the moral feelings of the country were once
aroused. It was said by the Rt. /lon. Member tor larerpool, who
was an open opponent, that there were theoretic blots, but that
the systrist •• worked well." How did it work well? As the
grave-digger in Hrsibit said of the gallows--" how does it do
well? why it does well for those who do ill—srpr, it would do
well far thee." ( ks,ihier.) 'they said it worked well
who knew nothing of the real state of the country—who called
the ruined manufactures flourishing, but who reposed in a Para•
dire created by themselves, tier thernsels es. Rut Reform most

the Borough Pm/motors. for their own sakes, to come to some
o;treement with inc People. He concluded whit moving, that
the House pledge iiself to take into its serious consideratisaa•
early in the usxt Session, the State of the Representation of the
l'eople.
Mr. G. TAIrII etconileil the motion, and com.:irattiltited the
those, certainly the friends of Reform, on the question being
trought before the House in this form. Since the question had
teen supported by the Hon. Baronet and his coadjutors, it had

he trusted that those who were against visionary schemes, but

for removing the franchise from dteatyett' Boroughs to more pi.
Mears places ; and for shortening the duration of Parliaments.

did not complain of being " intitl-Ise-pattertil ;" nor should
he, if he could obtain any advantages for the Constitution. There
insist be likewise strong measures to pre unit bribery and corrup-
tion;—hut he did not think that Reform was the grand panacea
which some ropresented it to be. He did not iniegine that it
would cure all evils, prevent the dears as of provisions, bad har-
vest, and the like ; but he deeinal Reform to be essential.
