ADDRESS.

Lord LASCELLES brought up the Report of the
Address voted last night, which, after a few oh-
serVatious Iron General Thornton, was ordered to
be presented to his Royal Highness- the Prince
Regent ; and it was also ordere(4, that such Mem-
bers as were of the Privy Council should wait
upon his Royal Highness to-morrow, to know at
what-time he would receive the same.
POST-OFFICE.

BAR'NG pursued, at considerable length,
the observations lie had before made respecting
the inconvenience that it ‘..-ould be to the mer-
chants of London to carry into effect the proposed
removal of the Post-office. He observed, that al-
though this was brought into the Howse merely
as a private Bill, yet as it went/to empower the
Corporation to clear away the premises that were
on the intended site of this New Post-office ; this
went, to all intents and purposes, to pledge the
House to the enormous expense attending it. He
then moved for a Copy of the Plan of this New
Post-office, and the estimate.
The CHANCELLOR of the R.:CHEQUER consider-
ed, that it would be much better to postpone this
motion, and also all detailed observations on this
Bill; until it came before the consideration of the
House.
The SPEAKER observed, that it was impossible
for the House to be pledged to any grant of the
.ptuilic money., by the report of a Committee on
a private Bill. There was no danger of the Rouse
being taken by surprise on this subject, and the
most regular time for such a motion would be,
when the Bill should be laid before the House.
Mr. BARING then withdrew 'his motion.
SPIRITS. INTERCOURSE BILL.

The CHANCELLOR.Ot the EXCHEQUER moved,
that the HouSe should resolve itself into a Com-
mittee on this Bill, and suggested .that it would
be more convenient that Counsel should be heard
in the Committee. lie also moved, that it should be
an instruction to the Committee, to consider what
countervailing duties should be laid on Irish spi-
rits imported into this country.
Mr. PETER GRANT asked whether counsel would
be allowed in the Committee to speak on the
principle of th Bill.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that
they might ()Luca tp any, or to every part of the
; but not. to contend that, up Bill was ne-
cessary.

Mr. WESTERN repeated the objections he had
matte-on a former night. He considered that the
'effect of this Bill ‘vould be to allow a quantity of
-Irish spirits, now in, the warehouses, to be inn-
ported into this country without paying any duty
at all; •

The CHANCELLOR-of the EXCHEQUER said, that
the Hon. Member was quite mistaken, as no I
spirits could be imported without paying the duties.
The timtse then, went into a Committee ; and
Mr. ADAM was heard on the part of. the Scotch
Distillers; and 111r,SCARLETT-oil the part of the
English astillers against the Bill.
The CHANGELLott of the EXCHEQUER remarked,

that great weight was- due, to the arguments of
Counsel SO eminent in their profession, and indeed
they had been in some measure anticipated by the
Government, whose intention was to, put all the
three parts of the--. Empire-on the :same footing.
•

. He should move a clause, which niight.he printed
land discussed some future day, that Scotch and
, British SpiritS might be manufactured for expor-
tation; duty free, and that a drawback should be
allowed on the stock now in hand.--(Hear
He was most anxious that essential justice should
be done to all: parties ; this was the way to fulfil
both the letter and the spirit of that in►nmortal act
of union which had consolidated the Empire into
one mass witty the lame interest.
Mr. PON3ONBY said, nothing could be fairer
than the proposition and the. principles of the
Right Hon. Gentleman, He might himself be
supposed to feel some partiality for one part of the
• United Kingdom, but he .would never. consent•
. that advantages should -be allowed to Ireland
which were not equally extended to Scotland and

Digland-(Hear !). -
Mr. W. SMITH was glad to hear these senti-
ments from his Right lion. Friend, and hoped

that all the Members from Ireland would act up-
on the same principles. As for his own part, he
desired nothing but what was equal and impartial
for England. He then proceeded to point out an
_ _ _

advantage which the Ir-ish distiller had over the
English one—which was, that the Irish Distiller

was compelled by law to furnish only 10 tuns of
spirit out of 100 of %rash, though l►e could pro-
duce 15 tins; whereas, the English distiller must
produce 15 tuns.
Mr. W. EITZGEMALD contended, that .the Hon.
Gentleman had greatly exaggerated the circum-

stance, and had assumed; that the Irish distillers

- - - -
Nvere-desirous of committing • a fraud, which he

contended they, were not ; and he complained,
that the Hon. Gentleman had not dealt fairly by

them.

Along discussion ensued between Sir J. NEw-
PORT, Mr. \V. SMLTII, Air. VANSITTART, and Mr.

IlusrassoN, who moved an amendment, that the

Operation of the Bill should not take place till the
Ist of October ; on .which Sir CiEORGE CLERK,

tl7•r. 'boll-norm,. and others spoke: ti►e amend-
ment was lost, 54 to 49, Report to be considered

on Tuesday next.—Adjourned at Twelve o'Clock.
