Mr. 1101.3tE 3INER, in preser.ting the Petition from Croydon, r0,,1;
()cession to state how much differed in opit.ion with those pers'ml
who signed this Petition ; but it had been his lot to bring up on 3.
former evening one of a different nature, from persons in the ssmv
trict, and he must now declare, titst lie would conceive it a derelicti-+t
of hi: duty, ii he were to stiller the interests of any individuals to out.

THE cos cItESS.
Mr. WnrrartsAD was anxious to be informed how soon .it was the
intention of the Noble Lord (stlerengh), to make any communication
to the House on till subject of the important mission from which he had
recently returned ?
Lord Cssrt.i.tt FAO said, he had no intimation from his Royal High•
ness the Prince Regent to make any particular co mmunicat ion. With
respect to the afinirs of Europe, lie must Worm the House, that although
much has been done by Congress, all arrangements have nut been
finally adjusted—but evtity thing now settled was with the entire con.
currence of all the great powers of Europe. Peace, he was happy to
say, was established on a basis, which they were ell determined to
maintain; and as to those circumstances which related more ireetedi•
;defy to the interests of Great Britain, the Noble Lord declared, that .
they were decided entirely to his satisfattion, and woLld, he trusted*
meet the approbation of the lbmse when submitted to its iospectii n.
Mr. WHITBREAD said, as the Noble Lord ►c not prepared to eiee
any information at present, h? should the first vacant day raise a gs:ts-
lion for the purpose of giving the Noble Lord an opportunity of anow-
ing s.due light on the labours of his mission.

• CORN Zit I.&
The CRANCET.T OR of the EXCHEQUER moved that the House resolve
itself into a Committee on the Corn Bill.
Sir G. HEAvrtccreE opposed it; he considered high rents the cause
of the distress among farmers ; these reins should now be reduced in
consequence of the diminution of several of the war tsxe*, and the ces.
sation of the, Property Tax.
Mr. Sr. Nut, was of the same opinion ; but he would assure the
House, that farmers in general are hostile to the Rill, because it will
afford a pretenceto the landlords not to abate tficir rents.

Mr. VVSE considered relief to the fanner ab,elutely necessary—he
should vote for 713.1.

CJuuel Etaisnsr and Mr, CARTWRIGHT spoke in favour of the
Bill.
General GAseOIGT B moved es en amendment to the original motion—.
" That the House di, resolve itself into the said Committee, on Use
Monday after the Easter recess."
Mr. liji.T.VR and Mr. CA LCRA FT supported this amendment.
Mr. W. SMITH said, that 80s. was a higher price than the interests of
the agriculturist demanded. lle recommended delay.
The House then divided—Fur the Amendment ti?—Aguinst it ILl7
Majority, 120.
The House again divided on the question that the Speaker do a lid
leave the Chair—For the motion 194—Against it 54—Majority 1.10.
The House than having gone into a Committee, Alr, Rom ms:ist
moved that the blank should he filled up with 81),.
On the question being pot. Gen. GnScOICNI: Moved, as an amend-
ment, with the view of conciliating, the public leelings 00 this subject,
the substitution of :As. for 80s.
Mr. WESTERN consi.jmed the course which the House was now pur.
suing as calculated to promote the interests of every class of the COM.
infinity ; and whatever might be thelemp"rary feeling which had ;•Iri,est
upon this subject, lie for one would not consent to abandon the opinions
which he had professed.
Mr. BARING then rose, bus before he had time to say II word,
