and 9-% 7,-ILLtam 111. relative to the Relief of the
Poor, ot'gat be read, which being read (proforma),
be movet. Ivr leave to bring in a Bill .to explain and
amend that Ad.'
. • •
The SPEAKER, thought the Hon. Member had
better state the -precise objeft ,of his Motion.
Mr: NEWBOLT said, that by a part of that. Ad,
Overseers of the Poor were prohibited from reliev-
mg Paupers nit wearing certain badges, which pro,
vision not having been stridly • afted upon, Over.
seers of the Poor h:ld rendered themselves liable to
certain penalties: it was his wish to 'relieve those
officers from the strianess of that provision. He
then moved for leave to bring in a Bill to explain
and amend the said Ad, so tar as it related to the
prohilaiting of Overseers of the Poor. from relieving
person:: not wearing certain badges specified in the
said Ad. • •
Sir WILLIAM -EL FORD said, he did not rise
toaoppose the Motion.; an evil -appeared- to exist,
and a remedy must be provided ; but he trusted the
measure ,-now proposed' by his lion,. Friend was
merely temporary, as he could not' consent to any
permanent Aft of this nature t as his objeftions,
therefore, rnigiTt be obviated. in the Committee, he
should not oppose the Motion. •
Mr. SHAW LEFEYRE said, he could not con-
sent ,to en:ourageany relaxation in the duty of
Overseers of the -Poor. It was not in this instance
alone, bat in many other patts of their duty, they
• were equally negligent.
NEWBOLT said his objeft was to diseti-
_ Min.tte between the Poor who were stationary in
each Parish, and those who received casual relief,
- and .to repeal the prohibition contained in the Aft
- against the relief of the latter, without their wear-
ing b'idges. 'Thus far; and 'no farther, he intended
the Bill he had moved for should be permanent, and
not temporary.—Le.ive given. - -
HOSPITALS IN IRELAND.

Mr. B AGWELL said, • as, the subject of the Poor
bad just been under consideration, lie wished to
the attention Of the Houc to the situation of the Poor_
in Ireland, labouring under fevers and infedious dis-
orders.. There --was an Hospital in Dublin for the.
purpose of receivingpoor persons afflieted with fevers.
and, infectious disorders, but last winter so great a
/number had been thus afflieted, that no accommoda-
tion could be made for them, and 'many were in
consequence in a state of the greatest misery. Seve-
ral persons suffering in those disorders had, he said,.
been seen,in the country, lying under the hedges,
and expiring for want. The objet he had in view
was, to give powers to Grand Juries or Ve.Stries to
erect house's in different parts of the Country, for
persons labouring under tliose disorders.
Mr.-CORRY said, he did not know whether he
WAS pettedly in order, but he wished to say a'word
upck. n the subjea alluded to by his Hon. Friend.
That subjeCt had been maturely considered by Hii
Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, and a Plan had
been- digested for the. establishment of .a House in.
Dublin for the reception of those poor persons al-
oded to. The Plan was perfeCtly matured, and if
he should have the honour of moving the, Supplies
or Ireland in the present Session,. one of the items
would be for the purpose Of carrying this Plan into
effed;k_, Pc therefore hoped his Hon. Friend would
not being foi-ward any proposition upon the subjed,
as the Plan he had just mentioned was pettedly
ready tb be carried into execution. •
Mr. BAGWELL said, his intentions - were not
confined to Dublin, but extended to the whole
- Country. • •
Mr. CORRY said, it- was contemplation to
extend the Plan he had mentioned to the whole
- Country, but for theresent it would be confined to
- -.The Report of the Committee of Supply was or..

LONDON, NOVEMBER zo, 18ot.

WE this morning received Paris Papers to the
16th inst. They are so totally barren of intelli-
gence, that they do not furnish us with matter for
a single observation. The Concordat:m still con-
tinues to meet with the approbation and assent of
the French Bishops. :On this subjeft we find the
following passage in the Maniteur Cil ARL ES-
• AUGUSTE LEQI.: lEN (le la NEUV I LLE, Bishop of
Acqs, has given in his resignation to his Holiness
in the following Letter, addressed to the Arch-
bishop of CO.I2INTII :
" I have the honour-to addres.s to your Excel-
lency a Copy--of my Resignation of my See, which
I have not delayed a moment sending you. I could
not hesitate an instant in making any personal sacri-
fice, when 1-learn that this, however painful, was
;necessary to the peace of my Country, and to the
triumph of Religion. May she arise glorious from
its ruing : may she rise, I will not say merely on
the wreck o(my dearest temporal interests, but
even on my very ashes, if I could be of any service
to her by becoming a viftim. May my Fellow-
citizens, return to concord and holy- manners. No
other' wishes shall I ever form during life, and my
death will be too happy if I sec these_accomplished."
'With the same anxiety, and in the same spirit,
have the following Bishops sent in their resigna,
