ROUSE OF COMMONS,

{.
^.

THURSDAY, MARCH 25.

A Message float the Lords, announced their
Lordship's assent to the Jamaica Free Kitt Bill, the
Expiring Laws Continuation the Expiring Laws
Perpctual Bill, and the Royal Marine Mutiny Bill.
On the motion of Mr. Alderman' COMM, leave.
was granted to bring in a Bill fur a Sunday Toll at
Nackfriars-bridge.
Leave was granted to bring in a Bill for the erec-
tion'of,a Bridge over the Thames, near the Savoy.
The Loan AnvocATa of SCOTLAVD, the Chair-
manof the Newry Committee, repotted, that the
Hon. Lient:-General Francis Needham (the sitting
Member) was duly elated, and that the Petition of
the Right Eon. Isaac Corry was not frivolous or
vexatious.
Mr. %UWE brought in the Dublin Pipe Water
Lill,'Which was read a first, and ordered to be read a
second time.

Mr. BANKES presented the Repori of the Selea
COmmittee appointed to inquire into the Mode of

dared to be printed.
The Dover Lands Bill went through a Comniittee,
the Report of which. was ordered to be received to-
morrow.

WEAVE,RS' PF.TITION.

Mr. BLACKBURN moved, that the Petition from
the Weavers of Lancashire, praying for the Esta-
blishtnent of a Minimum of Wages, should be re-
ferred to a Committee.
A conversation arose, in which 'Mr. D. Giddy,
Mr. Curwen, Mr. W. Bootle, Mr. Blackburn, Mr.
Baring, Mr. Whitbread, and Mr. Rose, participated.
It was generally admitted, that the prayer of the Pe-
tition was wholly inadmissible, as involving in it
consequences that would' be highly injurious to the
Country, and destrative of the interests of the Pe•
titioners themselves; but the Petition was ultimately
referred to a Sele6t Committee, on the ground that
it would be more satisfactory to the Petitioners, than
that it should be in the first instance rejected, as it
would 'how the disposition of the House of Com.
:Anna to entertain and deliberate on the requests of
. the people, although they might find themselves
eventually compelled to rejetit them.
SIR I. MOOR.E's LETTER.
• Mr. WHITEREAD stated, that finding the Noble
'Lord opposite had not produced the last dispatch
by received from Sir J. Moore, nor an ex-
ttia from it, and having heard (in private) that his
Lordship had abandoned the intention which he had
formerly expressed, of laying this important docu-
ment, or an extra& from it, on the table, gave no-
tice, that' on 'Tuesday next (the day on which his
Noble Friend, Lord Temple, had given notice of a
motion of a similar nature, viz. for the prodation
of the letters from Mr. Frere) be would submit ,to
the House a motion for its prodation.
The Malta Registry Bill was read a second time,
And ordered to be committed to-morrow.
Mr. WHARTON btongbt up the Report of. the
Committee of Supply. The Resolutions (founded
on the Navy Estimates) were read and agreed to
• .IRISH SPIRIT LAWS.
Mr. FORMS moyed,." That the House resolve
itself into a Committee oithe whole House, to con-
sider the laws respecting Irish spirits." The House
then went into said Committee , when
,Mr. FOSTER
moved,
" That it is expedient, during the prohibition of distilling
from corn or grisin in Ireland, that the Duty on Sugar should
•
be lowcrcli..!
This was agreed to, and the Chairman obtained
leave to report the same to the House. •
Ittisl-I.FLAX-SkED BOUNTY MU:
On the motion of Mr. Fossil, the House resolv-
/ed itself into a Committee of the whole'HOuse upon
the Bill.
Mr. Bun szt3 Objeeted to the principles upon .which
this Bill had been introduced. • It had been defend-
ed as a temporary measure, 'on which grounds he
condemned it ; it coeld/not possibly do any good,, as
the seed could not be' produced in time for the pur-
poses required. It had been said the measure should
he pursued, ev4n. were a free intercourse immedi-
ately- opened. With America ;if it were intended as a
general measure, as a general encouragement for
growing: seed in Ireland, this was not the proper
mode: t hey should not give a bounty to the grower,
but sitoeld lay a duty on the importer. •
Mr. FOSTER, in t'eply;wisherl to say that he had
oiNer tallied of it as a temporary, measure,, but
es the first step, the ground-work of a general
syoein to render Ireland independent of foreign
countries. 'lf the people of Ireland had caught the
alarm from the present state of affairs, and were
apprehensive for their usual supply of seed, this
would operate as, a stimulus, and induce them to
co-operate, and thin their apprehension would be
productive of good, and would avert the evil
Which
they had apprehended. This measure was the be-
ginning of a system which would-lay the foundation
for the general improvement of that country ; it
would probably induce them to drain their lands,
end he should conceive leprehensible, had
be been giddy enough so soon to have proposed
$ tax.

Sir Jortig Nawvoar gave his sanBion to the Bill,
With a vivw of giving Ireland a fair trial. Be how-
ever honed, when the measure was carried, that.
care would be taken how the sum granted was eit-
rotted. Hu thought this caution the tow neves.
pry,' as- the IriTh Linen Company had received
money to der the Appropriatioli Act, for distill&
pirposes, which they bad applied to other objeas;
they had laid out part of thornoney in building, in

violation of that A& This he intended to prove,
by moving the papers, where it would. be found, h.%
the architea's account, that money had been hod
out, not by order of the Board, but by the order of
two or three individuals. As to the measure before
the Committee, he thought it shotild'be adopted (or
the reasons which he had stated last night, and also
because Ireland could no longer expeel seed from
Sicily or Greece. That they were excluded from
America, the people had to thank those who had in=
troduced the Orders in Council, as it was owing to.
those Orders Ireland Was now placed in the situa-
tion she is with America..
Mr. FOSTER said, the Hon. Gentleman had As-
serted that no
.flax-seed was to be expected from
Sicily or Gteece ; he, however, could state, that
flax-seed had actually been received from Sicily, and
parts _adjacent, and that it was good, and that it was
liked, and that mnre was expected. As to the ap-
propriation of the money, to which the Hon. Baronet
had alluded, he could only say, that it was agreeable
to the provisions of the Oct.
Sir JOHN NEWPORT replied, that if flax-seed
had arrived, he did not know it,. which he might
have done, had the information he bad sought been
allowed him. '
Mr. Peacevar; said that the Honourable Baro-
net should be careful how he made assertions, as they
tended to delude, and considered it no excites for
his being ignorant on the subject, because what he
had wished had not been allowed him. The Ho-
nourable Baronet had also said, what was corn-
thonly heard from that side of the Horne, that
the embargo was to be attributed' to the Orders in
Council, which, theo were not able to prove.—
This was what he should always deny ; he would
always maintain the contrary ; the embargo was
laid on antecedent .to the Orders in Conneil ; '
tae Americans had adopted that measure, atifici,
gating the event which followed ; they knew that
it a spark of spirit remained in the Country, his
Majesty's Ministers would do as they had done.—
Whenever, therefore, suck en assertion was made,
he would contradi& it. But, even had it been the
case, they were justified in doing 'as they did, for
they had better submit to the risk of less, than sub-
mit to any indignity.
Sir Joaw NEWPORT explained.
After a few words, from Mr. Bastard, Mr. Parnell,
and Mr.. Foster, the Report was ordered to be brought
up to-morrow.

A new Writ was ordered for Mount Cashell, in
the. room of Mr. Dux, who had accepted the office
of Escheator of Munster.

GENEKAL CLAVERING.

The SPEAK.aIt acquainted the House, that he bad
received a letter from General Clavering, couched in
terms of the highest respect to that House, but
which he should not proceed to read unless the
' House should so command him.
Mr. W. WYNN 9 recalled to the attention of the
House's that in consequence of a passage in the letter
addressed to the Speaker by his Royal Highness the
Duke of York, he had on a former occasion given
notice that he would subMit to the House a resolution
on the subjea. Theccourse, however, that had beet►
pursued by the Rouse, in his opinion, rendered
such a step unnecessary, as, by the declaration that
it was on the ground of his Royal Highness's
resignation, that the House would not proceed in
any measures conienUenr on the investigation in
which they had been engaged, the House had dis-
tinelly recognized, by ell entry on their Journals,
their right to enter into the whole of the case with-
out reference to any other tribunal. He was the
more induced to decline persevering in 'his notice,
by what bad fallen from the Right .Hod: Gentte-
man opposite, who had intimated, that, by the pas-
sage in question, it was nut intended to infer that
the House were bound either' totally to acquit his
Royal Highness; or to refer his case to another tri-
bunal. There was also a good reason to believe that
the objetilionable passage did not absolutely proceed
from the Duke of York, but had been suggested to'
him from some other quarter. Under these circum-
stances, he should abandon the notice which he bad
given, with respetrio the letter, and content him-
self with moving that the Order of the Day Jur le-
awning the adjourned debate on General Clavering's
evidence be read.

The this:legume of the Excneotiaa was glad
that the Hon. Gentleman had thought prOper to
abandon hi's notice with respett to his Royal High-
ness's letter, although he expressed his perte6i readi•-
neas to meet the Hon. Gentleman on that ground
whenever he thought proper. • As to one of the rea-
sons assigned by the Hon. Gent lemau tirr abandoning
his notice, namely, that he (the Chancellor of the
Exchequer) hadstated, that the passage in question
was not meant to emir ey the meaning imputed to it,
it must be in the recollection of alehouse, that that
declaration of his was made antecedently to the Hon.
Gentlerrian's notice: As to the other reason, namely,
that. the pa sage was to be ascribed to the suggestion
of some other individual, he did not know whence
the Hon. Gentleman derived his information 1.•
had been no party in communicating it to him, but
he had no hesitation in saying, that let the letter be'
imputed to whom it might, he was ready to defend
every point of it as constitutional and respedful in,
positions and language.
Mr. WHITBaRAD maintained his original opi-
nion, that the letter of his Royal Highness the Duke
of York was perfealy unconstitutional, and a direct
attack on the privileges of Parliament. He was not
surprized that the Right Honourable Gentleman
held* different opinion, because if the authorship
of that letter were fairly imputed to him, he
would indeed have been highly culpable, bad he
advised his Royal Highness to do that which
he believed was a breach of the privileges of
Parliament ; but it was evident that the Right Ho-
nourable Gentleman's understanding of those privi-
leges was an incorrea one. He thought it would
have been more discreet, had the Right Hon. Gen-
tleman abstained from what be had said to-night ; but
he trusted that his Hon. Friend would.not be pro-
voked to change his intention ; but, for the good
reasons which he gad assigned, he would abandon
any further proceeding on the subject.
Mr. WYNNIt explained.
Mr. PONSONSY declared, that had, he been in the
House when the letter was first read, be would have
objc6lecl to, such a proceeding; for in his °pluton,
nothing could go beyond the unconstitutional nature
of the sentiments which it contained. The course
which the House had taken having, however, pre-
vented the,probability of any ill deaf resulting from

it, he thought with his Hon. Friend, that it was
advisable to abstain from any further measures:
Tbe,Order of t.lte Pay for rewtning the adjourned
debate on Gen. Clavering'S evidence was then read.

Mr. W. WY NN!! rrlbired that the debate be now
lectured.

Lord J. CAMPBELL stated; on the part of General
Clavering, that the absence (owing to the illness of
a .near relption) of an individual, whose presence was
highly tmcessary to his defence, rendered it a matter
of the highest importance to him that the discussion
'should be deferred. He therefore moved an amend-

tnent, that for the Word " now" be inserted the
words " Tuesday next:" -
Mr, WHITBREAD regretted that he was compelled
to objea to any thing coming from such a reaped.;
able quarter, but he did not conceive that the
Noble Lord had made Out ,a sufficient case to induce
the House to consent to a further delay of this busi-
ness. lithe House did not proceed now; the public
might perhaps suppoie there were a disposition to
screen the individual alluded to ; en imputation so
disreputable, that he khould feel it his duty to take
the sense of the House on the Amendment of the
Noble Lord.

. M. ELLIiON said, that if Captain Sanden were
not .in confinement, he should not be 'disposed to
press the immediate proceeding on the present busi-
ness ; but as that was the case, he thought it the
bounden duty of the House to adhere ,to the stern
rules of justice, and toinake no distinaion of per-.
eons.

Sir M. RIDLEY urged the postponement cf the
discussion. The meanest subject of the realm, when
in court of justice, was entitled to have counsel al-
lowed him. Why had not the Hon. Gentlefttan
brought forward his motion when the friends of Gen.
Clavering were in the House ? He thotight-tbar thb
House, considering the charaCter ?nd fancily of Gen.
Covering ought to give hint every fair opportunity of
vindicating himself. He could assure them that Gen.
Clavering had, with the most solemn asseverations,
declared his total innocence of the charge imputed
to him, with the exception of inadvertency.
Mr. WYNNE appealed to the House, whether, so
far from having himself caused the delay in bring-
ing forward this business, he had not most strongly
protested against the postponements that had taken
place. The subject was now in the hands of the
House, and it would be for them to decide on the
propriety of any further delay.
Sir M. RIDLEY explained.
The CHANCELLOR of the ExcliEnuEtt allowed
that the postponements which had already taken
place were by no means imputable to the Honour-
able Gentleman. He maintained, however, that
the grounds which had been stated by the Noble
Lord were sufficient to induce the House to ctansent
to the postponement proposed. He did not think
it would be well that it should . go forth to the pub-
lic, that such a cause for delay as the absence of
whose evidence was necessary to the
accused, should be stated in that House and over-
ruled..

Mr. WHlThauAn' denied that it was the absence of
witnesses—it was the *absence of Members. The ,
absence of witnesses would have been a very different
aousidetntion.
The CITA NCELLOR of the Evm ?AUER said, in ex-
planation, that he miderstood a Noble Dulte (ikr-
gyle) 'was to have been called to the Bar to giei
Oniony in favour of-General Clavering, but as ao
witness was meant to'be called, his observation fell
to the groUnd.
The. SPEAKER said, that in his view of this snbje&
the offence was of the nature of a*contempt of Court,
and consequently no testimony could be usefully,
hoard. They were. not in their proceedings, to fol-
low the rules of any inferior Court.
Mr. SHAW ',envie thought a feller attendance
could not he expected on Tuesday, aed therefore op-
posed the Minion for adjournment.
'Mr. W: SMITH observed, that if he could con-
sider either substantial justice or the dignity of the
House implieated by any .postponement he would
not agree to it, but as he did not think that was
the case, he was inclined to comply with the first
request that had been made on the part of General
Clattering, who believed his cause' would be better
defended by ihis'short delay.
Sir J. Nawpoar differed from the Hon. Gentle-
man, that so near the iCCeSd they could not. expect
a more numerous attendance on Tuesday, and -the.
only difference would be, that some of the Gentle-
Men,now present would then be absent, and some
friends of General Clavering now absent would be
present. He deprecated farther postponement, as,
during these delays, the Justice of the House was
doubted by the public, and it was thought that a
man of rank and family waaspared, while one of
inferior rank was suffering punishment for the same
offence.

Thy SECTiIdTARY at WAR spoke shortly for the
postponement.
Mr: DuNDAS thought that some necessary iniirna-
tion of the design' to move for adjournment had
been omitted. •

Mr...Wmuettroitcs wished the
.House to keep
out of sight what might be their ultimate decision
and simply consider the question now before them.
It was, in his opinion, desirable to come to some
decision with the least possible delay. ,theY had
alreadly postponed too much, so as to give rise to
an idea that they were unwilling to-pronounce tot
opinion upon the case. It gave him pain to speak
upon the question, but without entering into the
case, he thought they must now- decide, unless
a better reason for postponement' than any' they
had yet heard was givpn, If it was a question of
nicety, where one or two votes were of conse-
quence, be could not objol to delay.
General Pimps rose to order. The Hon.
Gen-
tleman had said, he would not go into the merits of
the case, and he was now deciding on thcni.
• Mr. &Li SON, in turn, called 'the Honourable Ge-
neral to order, and defended the line taken by Mr.
Wilberforce.

Mr. WW3I3IIFORCE then explained,_and concludf
ed by giving his decided voice tor coming to a deter-
mination immediately.
After a few words from Sir RiriLe'y and Mr.
WYNNE, The question for the further consideration
of 'General Clavering's evidence was jut and carried
,in the affirmative.

Tile SPEAKER then ptit the question, that
" It is the opinion of this Howie, that General
Clavering in the said Evide:lco is guilty of Prevati-
cation."

,:-
Sit M. RIDLEY defended- General Clavering from'
charge of 'being wilfully guilty or -this offert6,2 with',
a view to deceive the House. He imputed the con-,
traditaions that appeared In' his testimoily.to hie not
1 understanding the questions put 'to hits; and eiar - -
barrassments felt while standing at thcirsbar.--such a
: feeling as might be equally imputed to the Hen.
Member who brought forward the charges against -
the Duke of YOrk (Mr. Wardle), who from a ;sing-'
tar eMbarragsment, thOuglsnot standing in t he situa-
tion of General Clavering at the Bar,' had forpt '
what had passed within the twenty-four-hours pre- • ,
~
vious to his examination, and declared he had riot er' .•
seen Mrs. Clarke,' when it afterwards'turned out be
had seen her three, times during that period,. He
spoke in high terms of the honour and cliaa'aBer of
General Clavering.'
Lord J. CAMPBELL said a few words in so low a ';
tone of voice as to be inaudible in the gallery.
Mr. M'NAUGHTAN could. see . no reason why the ...
,•;.
House should not. notice General Clavering's pres
~ ,
1 varication, because some other 'person had prevari-
cated also ; nor why he should have been treated in
the same summary manner as CaptainSandcer. It
was stated hypotheticallyfrom' his high rank, cl!i - •
ratter, education, and conuections; " how could: he
be supposed capable of doing this-?"-Thy al!iwi°l‘ .. ;

vering. Sanden was forced to. the Bar unaided, with--
, out conne6tions, and, for his offence while giving'
• testimony there, had been punished. . General Clad
vering came forward voluntarily to falSify the evir:
deuce of a person who, as tar as bile coulti, lii.a.i been
• his benefaelresa. How then could they spare hitl •
for the same offence they visited instantly on ano-
ther? It they did, it, might well. be said, in the
words of our immortal Bard—
