.They were accordingly presented.--;--Ordered to lie
on the Table :and to be printed.
Mr. ROBSOS thought proper to add to the Tapers
just presented another document connected with the
same subject. In calling the attention of the House
to this business he could assure Gentlementhat••his
sole motive was- to prevent the'- improper expplidi-,
tare Of the public money; and he was persuaded
that the Right Hon. Secretdry had no other object.
With a view to that objeCt he had to 'thoye.for a
Paper, to the -produCtion• of .which he hoped,there
would be no objection, as it would serve to atiord
Ole' House much useful information.. The. Hon.
Member then moved for a Copy of the Memorial
presented by John Pritchard, late Barrack-master
of Sandown, to the Com Missioners 'of Military In-
viry, relative to certain glaring peculations in the
Barrack Department.'
• The SPEAKER suggested to the Hon. Mover,
that the latter words of his Motion were rather
such-as it was unusual to introduce or admit in de-
scribing a Paper to be submitted. to that. House:
Mr. ROBSOY said, that he took the description
from the title of the'Memorial itself. •

The SECRETARY at WAR concurred in the obser-
vations of th'e Si)eaker; and suggested the insertion
of " Certain Practices," in lieu of the words ob-
je6te4 to.

, •
This suggestion was adopted, and the Motion, so
amended, was agreed to.

EXPORTATION OF VITRIOL.
On the MOtiOn of Sir J. SIEwPoAr, the House
went into a Committee on the Bounty on the 'Ex-
patation of .Vitriol from Great Britain.
Iu the Committee Sir J. NEWPORT moved,
.that
, there be paid a Bounty of ss. 6d. on every 1061 b.
of Vitriol exported from this Country. to Foreign

Mr. FOSTER conceived that, this was a measure
of very great moment. There was 'a 'considerable
manntkiiire of Vitriol in Ireland, and 'an), exclusive
/3ounty on'. Exportation from this Country would
have the effete of injuring it. He therefore wished
that some further time should be taken to con-
sider it.

Sir J. NEWPORT then, agreed to postpone the
further consideration of the, subjea, and -the Chair-:
. man reported progress, and obtained • leave to sit
again to-Morrow. •
•On the Motion of Sir JO-2M NEWPORT, the Irish
Poor Bill went into a Committee. . long conver-
, satien -ensued on the power given by the Bill to
Grand Juries, and the- periods in which they were to
omaketheir preSeintnents,.'in which MT.O'Hara,.Sir
John. Newport, Mr. Foster, 'Mr. Baiw fl, Mr.:Fitz-
geraid;Mr-. Parnell, and' Colonel' Vk.Telcer,- rook .a'
part. Several Amendments were ;:vl3,reed The
House) raving been.restined, 'the Report Was or&
ed to be received to-morrow.
Sir JO-IN - NEWPORT ' brought up n Bill for
amending the ACts relative to' the. sale,: of His
IVlajestv's Quit Rents aud Terfeite.d Ltaie§' in
Ireland.
. Mr. J. FITZGLRiaD: said, tlis was a iti6t.
important Bill, and called' for the serious-attention
of the House, because it Went to deprive the Crown,
in perpetuity, of the property Wind) belonged* to
it. In order to understand the subjed, it would be
_necessary- to explain shortly the origin ,of the ACtS
which it was now proposed to atnend. the year
1798 there was an uncommon scarcity of .money in
_lreland ; and in order to raise the necessary supplies
it was proposed to sell these Quit. Rents, &c. His
Majesty's Law Officers. hi Ireland at that.. time, of
which he had the honour to be one, entertained
very strong objedions to the measure.; but they
gave, way to the opinion of the majority:of Hii Ma-
jesty's Servants. A Bill was accordingly brotight :in,
the objet} of which • was to raise supply for
the year 1798, and a turn of *money was raised .by
way of loan from the Bank, on the security of these
Quit Rents: ThiS money was aftei-wards' repaid
from ether sources, 'and .the Quit :Rents were not
sold, on account Of an omission in the Bill autho-
rizing their. sale. But 'as the Money had been re-
paid which was borrowea in 179 s upon the security
of these Quit Rents,, he did Pot see any reason why
they should. now. be Sold ; and the flight Hon.
Baronet had assigned 'np new, reason ,fer this trwa7
sure. The supplies -.for the year were all 'voted,,
and the Session
_was very far advanced ; lie there-
fore hoped the Right Hon. B'aronet would net per-
sist in this measure. '

Sir JOHN NEWPORT said, he really did not.
think that any opposition: would. have been made
to this Bill. The faCts Of:the, case ;were short 7
ly, these :—An Ad was passed in t , for,. the
sale of these Quit-rents and kstates ; this Aft
Was continued in 1799,' and it was merely,
.to remedy .an omission in these Ad's-. that he
proposed the present 'Bill. The omissidn was
this.:—The Ads gave a power to the
..Lord
Lieutenant to authorise the sale-of these, Rents;
but as it did%not state the Lord Lieutegant " for
the time beina',", a doubt was entertained, I.VheWer
the Ad extended to any person:but the one who
was Lord Lieutenant at tLe time being. This
omission was discovered by the Gentleman who
made thp IpdeX to the Statutes in Ireland, add iu
,consequence of it the sale of these Quit-rents' was
stopped. The Right Hon. Gentleman had' stated,
that these'Rents were only saleable to pay the debt
contraeted in .1798, which debt had been paid from
other sources ; but, in point of fa&, many Of them
had been sold since, for. other purposes. -'The Act
Of 1798 certainly gave these Rents as a security for.
the re-,payment of the money borrowed that yeat;
but it direaed that' the.money raised by the sale
should form part of the Consolidated Fund ; but
there was no direction that these RentSshould not be

sold if the Loan of 1'798 was paid • from .any ;other
Sources. to the fad of a Civil List having 'been•
granted to the Crown in lieu of these. Rents, he (lid not
.. •

consider
,that as any obje63iOn to the sale of them ;.
the satne thing had been done ,in many instances in
this Country. One of the great objects of coin-
plamt ;reland „liod been the arrears and deli
ciencies of the Colledors of the Revenue, and it was

notorious that one of the first objeets -of cle.falctit;on
was the Quit-rents ; and this certainly operated
with him asap additional reason why they should be
sold.

Mr. FOSTER said, that the objection made by
- his Right Hon. Friend (Mr. Fitzgerald) appeared to
him to have considerable weight. The sale of these
rents was certainly intended to raise Money for the
service of the year 1798 ; and so convinced was the
Right Hon. Baronet of that fact, that, he had not
even taken notice of these rents in providing the
Ways and Means for the Supplies of the year: It
had-been estimated that the sale of these pfit.4ents
.and estates'would produce about one million of moL
,ney; and, certainly, the Right Hon. Baronet should
not have brought forward this subjea without stating
the mode of applying this sum: He really never
heard. of such a reason for disposing of the property of
the Crown as that which the Right Hon. Bart. had
concluded with : It was, that His Majestymust sell
his -property, because the Officers of the 'Revenue
would not do their duty. If 'this prpperty were
sold, it would produce, perhaps, about one. million ; •
but it was proved by the Loan of thiS year that a mil-
. lion of money might -be borrowed upon cheaper
terms. -.As to amending the Bill of 1798, it was
.perfealy an innocent 'measure, because under that
Bill nobody could safely buy. any of these rents.—
He had no objeaton to the Bill being read a second
time; but as the Supplies fctr this year were already
voted, he advised the Right Hon. Baronet not to
persist in the Measure' at present, but to bring it
forward at an early period next Session.
The Bill was then read a first time, and was or-
dered. to be read a second time on Monday next.
The Report of the Irish Revenue Regulation Bill
was brought up.
. FOSTER said, that under, former AatS a
power.had -been given to the Commissioners toyur-
'cilase pieces of ground for the ereaion of light-
libuses, upon- a fair valuation by a jury ; but this Bill
7.t.vent considerably farther, and not only authorized'
J.kg-Commissibilers to make purchases for the emotion
of light-houses, but for the ereaion of houses and'
orlicv.s nol.rthis appeared to him too great a power,,
theretOiehe4should propose to leave out the let
terwords.

Sit JOHN NEWPORT said, he had no wish to
retain thev,,words*,:though it might be useful to the
Public to have a power of making such purchases.
AfteT a few wc.irds, it Was agreed that Mr. Fos-
urciishould:POs-tp' one his Amendment to the third
tea (lilt. •
.Tne Bill. was then ordered to be read a third
time, on Friday next.
The Dublin St.4George's Church. Bill was read a
third time, and passed:

TRAINING BILL.
Mr. WINDHAM' stated, that he had. some new
Causes to prOpose, and he would then Move to put
off any farther proceeding upon this ineiisilie' until
Thursday.

Mr. CANNING said that he should not oppose the
Right,nono44ble Gentleman's alatises, for he did
not thit4c , it at.all necessary, as the Bill 'appeared to
him to: be .such as..no Amendment could improve,
and therefo're it was 'his intention to take the -sense
hf ttic.lJciuser respelling its principle upon the third
reaing. ,

LONDON,

WEDNESDAY, JULY 2, 1806.

WE have, this day made some further extracts
from the' German. Papers which arrived yesterday,
sane of Winch are, if they may be depended upon,
of a very important nature. The Hamburgh Cor-
respondenten, of the 25th ult. contains an article
dated Paris, the, .1-7th, which states, that the French
-Minister of the Marine, has sent a Circular Letter to
the Commanders of the diffeient Ports, acquainting
them that BONAPARTE had • issued A Decree for
taking off the Embargo upon all the Russian
Ships detaißed in the French Nils. If this be
true, it certainly shews a strong desire on the part of
the French Government `t'o effe& a' reconciliation
with Russia.. The permission which BoNAPARTE
granted last war to the Russian Prisoners taken in
Holland, to return home without biting exchanged,
•
made a very strong impression upon the Emperor

I
PAUL, and it is not impossible that he may be in-
- .clined to, try the effe& ola similar experiment upon
his 'successor: The Einperor ALEXANDER is, how-
ever, too well acquainted wiVi the ambitious designs
of nONAF'AIITE; 'and must'. be
.too, much disgusted
with hisJecent cohcitie't to be imposed upon by siich
. • • ... •
a device.. ' , :

M. a OUBRIL, according to .the,last.accounts from
Vienna:, not left that Caphal for Paris; buttth
.next Mails will' kohahly- hring: an account of his
departUre. There -cannot now remain any doubt

that Great 13,-itain and Russia save determined to try
the effeCt of a Negotiation with France, and

NAPARTE spews any sincere disposition to restore
'Peace, the Negotiation will, we have little doubt,
soon assume a regular and official shape.

All the accounts from I\raples concur in repre-
senting that Kingdom as beinm in a most deplorable
state : the insurreaion has spread itself to almost
every part of it : the insurgents stop and plunder
every -carriage, so that the roads hay. - become im-
passable. The new King has had recourse to a very
singular expedient to remedy these disorders, which
was; to set at liberty all prisoners except those who
were.confined for state offences, or, in other words,
those who have been guilty of loyalty to their legi-
timate Sovereign.

The Swiss Diet was opened at Basle the begin-
ning of last Month, and the Representatives of that
once free and happy Country were entertained with
a Concert of vocal and instrumental music.

THE manner in which it is said that the Com-
miasioners are expeCted to , give their Report this
day, ..on‘a subjeta generally interesting, viz. by con-
fining that Report to the'evidefice, is the most, pro-.
permode that could be adopted, as it is. understood
that they were called upon to inquire,not to pronounce.
•
It is the most respealful mode. with reference to the'
Great Peraonage to whore' tlic whole is to be sub-
mitted, We do not .presuMe *to know, what has
passed, but. what we have heard- abundantly con-
firms the full confidence. which we have expressed
in the honour and purity of the Personage principally
‘concerned. •
