HOUSE OF COMMONS,

• TUESDAY, MARCH 31•
The Defaulters to the Call of the House were
called over till half past four, when the Gallery
doors were opened.

A Message was received from the Lords, stating
that their Lordships had agreed to the Bill for en.
couraging the growth of Potatoes, to the expiring
Laws Bill, and to several Private Bills.'
The Petition _from the Brewers was ordered to
be referred to a Committee of the whole House on
the 14. th of April next.
Mr. SHERID AN said he rose for the purpose
of informing the House that the Motion of which
he had already given notice that it was his inten-
tion to bring forward, with a view of criminating
the conduEt of His Majesty's late Ministers, he pro.
posed to fix for Monday the loth of April.—At the
same time he would mention that one circumstance
which at first it was hisintention to make part of the
charge against Ministers, he npw meant io make
the subjed of a separate Motion.--What he referred
to, was a Paper which lie now understood was
adopted by the late Ministers, and addressed to the
Catholics of Ireland, containing the motives and
causes of their conduEt, with resped to that Body.
This Paper had been expressly avowed by one of
the late Ministers as the produetion of a Noble
Lord who has the conduft of Irish affairs. At
present -he should only say, that in his opinion
there never was a more seditious, inflammatory,
and disloyal Parer produced. •
The SOLICITOR GENERAL immediately rose,
and insisted that it was pettedly unfair in any Gen.
tlernan seizing the opportunity of his giving a no-
. rice to intermix severe refidtions, and to take ad.
vantage of so doing, at a time when no reply .could
be made to him. • _ _ _ _ _ _

Mr. SHERIDAN replied, that whenever he had
contented himself with merely giving a Notice, the
late CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had as uni-
formly insisted on knowing the nature of that Mo.
'tion. The Motion he meant to make for the pro.
dOe.iion of the. Paper in question, he meant to make
on Fiiday the 17th of April.
Mr. ROSE wished to know something more re-
six: 6611 g the Hon. Gentleman's original Motion re-
speding His Majesty's late Ministers.
Me. SiI.RIDAN said that the Motion he in-

tended to make was to this effeCt, that the present
perilous situation of the Country was owing •to the
incapacity and miscondat of His Majesty's Late Mi-
nisters.

Mr:. 'JONES rose for the purpose of inquiring
whether it was the intention of Ministers to lay
any more Papers before the House relative to the
evacuation of Egypt ? „
•
The CHANCELLOR orthe ,EXCHEQUER re-
plied, that he knew of no such intention. He rose to
give Notice, that he shotild to-morrow, propose the
Vote of a Lottery towards the Ways and Means for
raising the Supply. He should also have the honour
to make a•communication to the House from His

MAJESTY, and should move for a Committee of Se:
crecy, to take into consideration the•present State
of Ireland, as also the practice of certain disaffe6ted
persons in this Country.
Mr. TIERNEY inquired of the Right Hon. Gen-
tleman, what objeets his Motion meant to embrace ?
The CHANCELLOR qf the EXCHEQUER re-
peated, nearly verbatim, the Notice he had already
given.
On the Order of the Day for the House to take
into consideration the Fourth Report of the Com-
mittee appointed to consider of the present High
Price of Provisions, it was ordered that this Re-
port be referred to the Committee of Supply, the
CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER at the same time
explaining as the reason for referring this Report to
the Committee of Supply, that it was for the pur-
pose of enabling the House to promote the objett of
it, in the only proper and effeAtial way in which it
could be done.
The Report on the Irish Resolutions. of Supply
was brought up and read.
Mr. BRAGGE
.brought up the Report of the
Millers' Indemnifying Bill.
The Bill for the better colleaion of the Poor-
rates was read'and passed with Amendments.
The Houk then went into .a Committee to con-
sider of the means of defraying the annual charges
of certain permanent Public Strvices in Ireland.
Mr. COR RY stated, that the objeft was to grant
several small sums of money permanently, which
,used to be granted annually by the Irish Parliament,
amouiting in the whole to about 60001, including
some specific sums to Foreign Clergy, and other
miscellaneous Services.
,The Report of the Committee was ordered to
be received to-Morrow.
The Scotch Distillery Bill was committed, and
the Report ordered to be received to-morrow.
At hali'pait six the House adjourned till to-

Mr. VANSITTART left Catenhirgen on the zest
ult. Mr. DRUMMOND had been furnished with'
Passports. The Fleet. under Sir HYDE PAltuza
was expeked to appear on the 22d.—There ire no
accounts of its dispersion, as reported ; and the
reports which were spread last night, stating a
considerable 1653 of Ships in endeavouring to
force the Sound, and which appear in the Jacobin
Papers of' this day, seem to be wholly unfounded.

THE HaWSurgh Mail due on Sunday arrived
last night. By letters from Rtimmuick of the 22d
ult, we learn that the Answer. of the-British Ca-
binet to the, Prussian Declaration had been received ;
and that, in consequence, several Regiments at
