BREAD:

ALierm4n CURTIS rose to give notice,
that on Monday next he should move for leave to
bring in a Bill to repeal the Aft of the 37th and
38th of the present King.respeeting the Assize of
Bread. That Aft certainly was. passed with the
very best intentions, but.the artifice of. designing
persons had enabled them to evade it.
Mr. 70DDREL made some observations, but in
so low- a tone of voice, that we mild not distinctly
j;ear ;we understood him to say, that he-wished
that Corn.should be sold by weight and not by mea-
sure.

Alderman CURTIS said, he thought the
,best
thing we couk do now, was ;o recur to the Law as
it_stooa before the Aet in question. After .a suc,
cession of plentiful, seasons, and when our barns
were full, we might be; enabled, perhapsi to make
some more important alterations.

INQUIRY INTO THE CONDUCT OF MINISTERS.
Mr. SHERIDAN said, it was his intention yes-
terday to have noticed a IVlotion of his Honourable
Friend respeffing the Condua of the late. Mini-
It certainly was a Motion of the utmost im-
portance, and one very deserving of the attention
of the House ; but he could not help observing, that
thc worthy 'Baronet had not given notice of the
ivlotion until many Gentlemen had made their ar-
rangements for going out of Town, and therefore
wishing as he did, that this subica should undergo
.
a full discussion, he could not help hoping that the
worthy Baronet would put offhis MOtion till after
the ReCess. He confessed also, that he was very
anxious that some Honourable Gentlemen who were
-.:osv absent, should be present at the debate ; he did
not mean those who were in the habit Of taking a
prominent part in the debates on his side of the
House, because he was not authorized to state their
sentiments, but he alluded to some_ whose assistance
he knew the Hon. Baronet was' desirous of having.
It appeared to bins also, that it would be highly im_
proper to enter into a discussion upon this most im-
portant subjel, which must. embrace the whole
Conduct of the War, while the Neg,otia,tiotss were
still depending for the Definitive Treaty. He there-
fore submitted it to the consideration of his Hon.
Friend, whether it would not be proper to put off
the Motion until after the Recess.

. Mr. EL4/SON said, he did not dispute the pro_
priecv of putting off the Motion, but he thought
entimen oetzlit to bc, dtre!.mined- about the time
which,they were to bring on their Motions. He
twi,.e come above too miles out of the country
to attend this Motion.
Mr. lI,TOOKE said, he was not acquainted
with the nature of this Motion,- therefore he could
liot tell whether it ought to be put off or not. ThiS
seemed to him to be one of the most important =-
Merits this Country had ever experienced. It did
not appear so to the Gentlemen on the other side of
the House, and particut?rly, the Right Hon. Gen-
t:eman did not seem to see the danger of. the times ;
'but whoever considered, the number of Poor that'
there were now, and the number of persons that in
cmsvquenct of the Peace would be turned out of em-
pioyment, must feel that this was a most important
c
. risis.

Calairel ARCHDALE said, this -was like the.
i,nonntain in labour, it the Hun, Baronet- •

My-. M. 4. T AYLOR called the Hon. Gentleman
to Order, as there was no Question before the

House.
The SPEAKER said the conversation was irre-
gular. •
Sir F. BURDETT said, that if it was the wish
of the House that this Motion should be put off, he
for one could have no objeaion. The reasons
which had been urged for putting it off; ape red to
him so weighty, that he was inclined to put it off
till after the Recess. He therefore would, on
the first day after the Recess, give notice of the
Clay On which he would bring forward his Motion. -.
Mr. ELLISON explained.
The House adjourned at Five o'Clock till To-
morrow.
