ENGROSSING OF BILLS.

On the motion of Mr. HUME, the following Select Com-
mitte:! wa.s appointed, to consider any and what improvement
may be effected in the mode of Engrossing Bills
Mr. Hume, Mr. Bankes, Mr. Ricardo, Mr. Heber, Mr. Ni-
cholson Calvert, Mr. Williams Wynn„ Mr. Bright, Mr. Mi-
Chael Anplo Taylor, Mr. Grey Bennet, Mr. Attorney-Gene-
ral, Mr. Thomas Courtenay, Mt. Evans, Sir Henry Parnell;
Mr. Courtenay, Mi. Husklsson, Mr. Spring Rice, Mr. Chan-
, cellor of the Exchequer, Mr. AbercroMby, 'Mr. George Lamb,
Mr. Calmat and Lord Archibald Hamilton.

On the mtnionfor the third reading of the Irish Tithe Corn.
position Bill,
CALCRAFT said, that finding if he pressed the inner.
tion of the eompuliory Chaise it might retard the Bill, and
being very desirous to ace It in operation, he should forego the
intention be had formed of introducing that clause. As he was
sure that in the next: Session the Bill must be considerably
altered from its imperfeswiature at present (and here he meant
no imputation on the Right Honourable Gentleman opposite),
he should postpone until that period his proposal for adding
those provisions which were necessary to complete the measure.
Mr. M. FITZO.BRALI) having been tine of the first to
bring the subject of Irish tithes before the House, could not re..
alai the opportunity which was atlintred hint of expressing his
exultation at the success of the present measure. fie felt it
just to say, that he thought the country was much indebted fox.
it to his ISt ajesty's lltinisterst and he hoped that no alterations
would be made elsewhere which could have the effect of defeat-
ing its wise inovisions.--(Heer !)
After a few ,obseivAtions front Mi. V. Fitzgerald, Colonel
Trench, Mr. C. Hutchinson, Mr. Abercromby, and bord.A.
Hamilton, the Bill was read a third time and' passed. -
Mr. 0(./1.11.111JRN brought .up clause, providing that in
case of appeal made to the Lord ',lieutenant in Council, as to
oily composition, he should be authorized to remit it to tha

nett going jtidge of Asidzes, tivho should' have the power to
-modify such composition as he thought fit. -
After a few words from MreV, FITZGERALD, the clause,
was agreed to, and added as a rider:to the Bill. • , . •
Mr. C. (RANT moved the Order of the Day fbr the
reading of the Reciprocity of Male:A:Bill.
Mr. H. U. BENNET observed, ,that the first order on .the
paper was for a Committee on the New. South Wale.a Jurisdic
non Bill. He wished the Bill to go through a Corinnittee
Anne, to be printed, and the discussion .on it to be fixe'd.fer
Monday.
Mr. W. HORTON had no objection to that course. Ile
had two new clauses to introduce; and when the Bill was thus
amended, it might be reprinted, and the third reading could be,
iiied for Monday. •
Mr. PEEL observed, that the Lordii'
,amendments in the
Prison Discipline Bill would be discussed on Monday, and
would form a very proper preface to the New South IYales
Jurisdiction
ROMAN CATHOLIC 'QUALIFICATION BILL.
Lord NUGENT expressed a wish that the Right Hon.
Gentleman (Mr. C. Grant) would postpone for a few minutes.
,his motion relative to the Reciprocity of Duthie Bill, in order
to enable him to move the third reading of the Roman Ca.,
'italic Qualification Bill. It was of great importance at this
period of the: Session that no time should be lost in forwarding
the measure. • .
Mr. C. GRANT would willingly grant the indulgence re.
quired by the Noble Lord.—The Bill was then read a third
time, and ordered to be carried to the Lords.
RECIPROCITY OF DUTIES BILL. •
Mr. C. GRANT then moved the third reading of the above
Bill.
Mr. ROBERTSON called on the: House to pause before
-they consented to interfere with this system of navigation laws
which had been an long supported by the wisest and ablest men
in the country. That system had been fortified and sanctioned by
that great political economist Adam Smith ; whose principles,
he was sorry to say, were opposed by the doctrines of' a new
body of political economists, who had recently'sprung up in
this country, and whose opinions appeared to him to be very
erroneous in some respects. Any ordinary mind could acquaint
itself folly.with any modern system of political economy iii the
cottage of live or six weeks ; but such knowledge did not fit
men to -become either Statesmen or Legislators. lf, in conse-
quence of the passing of this Bill, the navy of England was
impaired, those who supported it mild have incurred a most
serious responsibility. Ile contended, that should the Navi-
gation Laws be repealed, a very considerable advantage would
be given to foreign shipping, contrary to the long-established
policy of this country. The principles of political economy,
which he had heard in that • House, would do extremely
Well for the regulation of our internal trade, which he wish-
.ed to see perfectly relieved from restrictions of every kind;
but when these principles were applied to. our commerce with
foreign countries, they were not calculated to produce any benefit.
The Bon.. Member then proceeded to comment on the evidence
given before the Lords'- Committees on Foreign Trade, and
argued, that at present, in consequence of the cheapness of
timber, foreign vessels even now had an advantage over British
ships, which would be greatly extended if the present bill were '
agreed to. lie felt satisfied that the House, with such facts
before them as he had adverted to—especially those extracted
from the Lords' report on foreign trade—would never pass this
Reciprocity Bill, calculated as it was to work the ruin of the
country. (The Hon. Gentleman then discussed a • variety of
details, which he had selected front the report • alluded to.)—
The tonnage which the country had lost within the last three
years was equal to the whole of the tonnage two years ago em-
ployed in the India trade—namely, 150,000 tons. The decrease
in the number of seamen also employed on the other side of the
Cape of Good Hope, and between that and Cape Horn, was
-8,000. He moved, in conclusion, and by way of amendment,
that the bill be read a third time this day three months.
[A message from the Lords brought their Lordships' assent
to • several bills; and among others, the Beer Bill, without
amendments, and a bill to regulate the Solemnization of Mar-
ziages between British Sukjects in India and elsewhere.]
Mr. Ald. THOMPSON seconded the amendment; though
if the same sort of Bill should be brought into Parliament
next Session, and the Ship.owners had an opportunity afforded
them orbiting heard before a Committee of the House, he
would aupport such an inquiry.--(Bear!)
Mr. WALLACE said, that the world now pretty well un-
derstood that the interests of navigation and commerce were iden-
tified and inseparable. The most wholesome policy seemed to
• be not to benefit and advantage oneof those great interests, as the
Hon, Gentleman (Mr. Robertson) seemed to ask, at the expence
of the other, but so to modify the existing laws, as to make
the prosperity of the first compatible with the welfare of the
second. • . It was no argument to the contrary, that sometimes
'those interests might come into conflict with each other. He con-
eceived, that at the time when the Navigation Laws were first
enacted, they were measures of a wise and justifiable policy.—
'ln
to put down a then existing, dangerous' continental rival. But
now, that object being answered, he doubted' not that they
ought to be remodelled and revised; and there could be no
question but that those laws had in a great variety of instances
hen relaxed already by Parliament. To the welfare of a great
meal power nothing was so vitally essential as the extension
of its commerce, by all proper and sound means. It was ac-
wordingly with such an object in view that those measures
.recently introduced by some of the Members of his Majesty's
Government, had been devised and proposed to Parliament.
Those measures, indeed, had been so unfortunate as to elicit
several taunts from the Hononourable Gentleman, at the ex-
pence of those whom he was pleased to call speculating econo-
mists. Ile (Mr. Wallace) knew not, and would not stop to
inquire whether he ,was meant to be included in the re-
' Ileetion... The Honourable Gentleman seamed to have totally
forgotten, that the measure now brought in was tendered in-
dispensable by the similar proceedings which other European
'commercial powers had adopted. Under the present system,
common to the European powers in question, the only means
of meeting either the heavy duties which they had imposed on
our goods and shipping, or of being admitted with other na-
oionm to, participate •the benefits of their commerce, wherethe
ditties were low, were, in all possible respects, to place our
eutici anti impositions upon a footingof perfect reciprocity with
theirs. , Ithad been urged that foreign nations bad great ad-
'vantages over us in respect of their shipping interests, because
they could build ships at a much cheaper rate than ourselves.;
but this advantage, was counterbalanced by the fact, that
British vessels were generally of greats capacity than they
stood registered at • and, consequently, they paid less duty
„in foreign ports, 'Mier the rate. Upon an average, again, it
-would befound that the wages of British seamen were cheaper
•than those of . foreign' sailors, all charges being taken into
the account. From the Lords'Report it clearly appeared that
neither the ships of Norway, nor Sweden, Russia, Prussia,
France, nor Thailand, could compete with English ships for
.cheapness of sailing. It was equally clear on the same very
-valuable authority, that upon all long voyages, such as those
ftwn the coasts of Africa and Asia, from India, the Brazils,
and the West, Indies, freights were always cheaper as in Eng.
bottoms, than in any ships of Holland, France, or Den.
mark. Now the Hon. Member who spoke last had drawn a most
.discouraging, and, indeed, alarming picture, of the falling off of
our shipping trade; there being, according to his calculation, a
decrease within three years, of employment or hire, to the amount
of 150,000 tons. `4 hat would the House say, however, to a
statement, on the authenticity of which they might depend,
though he (Mr. Wallace) hail had it prepared originally
far another occasion, a statement of the comparative amount
of British and foreign tonnage employed . between the
years-1815 and 1822 ; by which it appeared, that on the aggre-
gate of eight years we had had the advantage of our Conti.
nental neighbours by no less titan a 93,004 tonsl,—(Hear I )
Another subject of regret .and complaint with the Honourable
tentleman was, the decrease in the number or British ships
employed. With great submission,' however, he (Mr. Wei-
lace) thought that tins diminution was, in effect, ,of great rub.
vantage to the shipping interest; for he had reason to know,
that at the commencement of peace there were so many British
merchantmen, that this species of' property became of necessity
quite depredated. It was impossible that the -vessels could MI
Lind any thing like advantageous employment. At that period,
'he. heard nothing but complaints on the score of their numbers;
and lie did believe it to be for the general benefit that since.
then many of them had worn out, and had not yet been re-
ttreti.•' and a vast number (which was a singular fact) had
Veen sold. Now the result of all this had been, that as the
rtnnbers had decreased, the hire had risen, so as at length to
Wrath the owner a remunerating price. (The Right Hon.
Gentleman then cited the authorities of Mr. Solly,and other
merchants, on these subjects, as he found them in-the Lords'
report.) It might, however, be a satisfaction to the House to
learn, that the shipping trade had increased in every respect
very conside
rably since last year only; for, in 1822, the number
of ships employed was 111,738 , their tonnage, 2,203,000 tons.
In 1323, the number of ships employed was about 211,000 ;
their tonnage, 2,3110,000 tons.--(lies.:, hear 1)—So that the in-
crease in one year was nearly 1,400 in the number of ships, and
1•27,000 tons in the tonnage. He was quite sure that he had
' •shown that this mode of equalizing our (hake with those of
other countries was a safe one as regarded the interests of our
siiiiyintr_; and if so, it must be acknowledged that it was like-
wise 01(7-least invidious mode of preserving those advantages in
our commercial relations which we already possessed.
Alt. ROBERTSON shortly explained.
Mr. RUM BOLD said, that undoubtedly the statements of
the Right Hon. Gentleman were entitled to consideration, but
hey
were met by counter-statements on the part of the ship-
()Otters, and lie trusted that in a measure of suchimportance
the House would pause, in order tha; the truth might be as-
certained. The House Should recollect that the shipping inte-
rest did not require protection, but protested against an entire

iiteration of that niter's whiclibad so long-prevailed, to which,
our greatness had been so, much attributed— In every depart,
tient, whether of buildingtitting, wages; or pro Visions of sea-
men, the expense doubled or trebled that of the foreigner.
When such was the statement of the ship-owners;; whose tnte;l
rest had suffered in the sanfe proportion as that of others, ik,siois
not too much that. the period intervening between the ,Sessions:
niii,ll be given to the re-consideration of the measure.
Mr. T. WILSON complained that the Ship-owners had not
had fair hearing, and under such circumstances isc-com,
demned the further,proceeding upon this Bill.
Mr. HUME; supported the measure.
Mr. BRIGHT wished for delay, to have the provisions of
the Bill more properly discussed and understood by the parties
Who were interested. . • . •
Mr. RICARDO supported:the Bill, upon the principle that
the -ship-builder ought to beupon a fair footing with the fo-
reig.ner whose capital was embarked in the same trade.
Mr. MARRYAT opposed the Rill, and contended that the
Navigation Laws•werethe real protection of British Commerce.
Mr. /I USKISSON contended, that the period was now ar-
rived, when it would be impossible for Great Britain to
continue any longer the system of restrictive duties, with-
out inducing retaliation on the part of foreign countries,
the effect of which would be 'Lost disastrous to our com-
mercial interests: -Something had been said respecting the
necessity of repealing the existing ditties upon materials
employed in ship-building, respecting which, he wished to
make one observation. The duty of 101. upon timber import,
ed from the Baltic, which, during the war, was a very light
burden, was, he admitted, now become a very grievous impost.
—(Hear !)—He hoped that the prosperous condition of the
country would enable his Right lion. Friend the Chancellor of
the Exchequer to repeal or very considerably reduce- that tax
next Session.—(hear !)—He begged the !louse to consent to
the passing of the Bill, which,- instead of injuring, would
tend to the protection of British shipping. concluded by
enforcing the necessity of giving all possible facilities to the'
commerce to the country, with a view not only to the increase
of wealth, but to-securing the means of national defence against
foreign states.
MARRYArr explained.
Mr. S. WORTLEY thought that the principles which now
began to work in regard to the commercial regulations, must
before long be applied to those of agriculture. So many im-
politic restrictions called protections being removed from the
trade and shipping, it would be - impossible to retain for any
considerable time the protection given to agricultural produce :
at any rate, the present enormous rate of the protecting duty on
grain could not be long continued, but it would be brought
nearer' to the standard of the European markets. It was one
very considerable obstacle to the commerce, and especially to
the shipping of the country, that the protection given to grain
operated as a heavy tax upon their interests.—(Hear !)
The Muse divided—
For the motion, 75 For the amendment, 15 1 Majority, 60.
The Bill was read a third time and passed.
The house resolved itself' into a Committe on the
SLAVE-TRADE CONSOLIDATION BILL.
Dr. LUSHINO TON rose to submit some alterations. It
was intended that the Privy Council should have power to
allow the exportation of slaves in certain cases from one British
colony hi-another till the year 1826 ; the island of Trinidad, to.
gether with Demerara, being excepted. Slaves were not to be
exported under any circumstances from British colonies to
either of the American Continents. The reasons for excepting
Trinidad and Demerara from the regulation lay chiefly in the
shocking waste of human life which was known to take place in
those colonies. Between the years 1016 and 1821, there ap-
peared a diminution of 5,000 upon a black population of 24,719,
notwithstanding an importation in the same period of 2,628, and
although, very strange to say, the births were considerably
more than the deaths. The latter circumstance was accounted
for in the report of Sir Ralph Woodford, by the shameful irregu-
larity and neglect of the planters in registering the number and
state of their slaves. The rapid diminution, the same respect-
able authority attributed to the mortality which occurped in
clearing the new grounds granted by Government. He entered
into other statements to prove that the same waste of life pre-
veiled in Demerara. From these, which were the Government
returns, the common feelings of humanity and justice would
prevent them from keeping open an avenue of exportation so
destructive to the black-population. The planters in those ex-
cepted colonies could set up no pretence to any right upon the
subject. When the power of importation was left with them,
there was no expectation of slaves ever being exported to them
from the othei British Colonies, because these were all busied
in increasing tho number of their slaves, whose labour at the
time was in the highest demand. Ile concluded by submitting
his amendment.
Mr. PLUMER asked if the exportation between the other
colonies (Trinadad and Demerara being excepted) was to cease
altogether after 1026 ?
Dr. LUSIIINGTON said, certainly that was the intention.
Mr. ‘1! I 145.10 T HORTON objected to the clauses, but
observed that the object of the Zion. and earned Genthe leman
would be equally, well answered by alterations which in-
. tended to propose in the Bill.
Mr. WI EJBER FORCE contended that the regulations in
the Bill did not contain sufficient protection to the slaves. He
did not think that their condition would be bettered by them.
Mr. MA RRYAT thought the regulations of the Bill would
be preferable to the clause proposed by the lion. and Learned
Gentleman.
Mr. W. SMITH objected, to the removal of negroes from
one island to another, as a principle. If removal were to take
place, he should wish that it should be of the surplus population,
Which might be beneficially employed in the cultivation of the
large tracts of negleted land in Jamaica. Ile approved of the
clause proposed by his Hon. and Learned Friend.
Mr. CANNING thought that the transfer of negroes ought
to be allowed, but with such modifications as would prevent
its being a transfer for the sake of sale. He would admit
thus much—that when a transfer was made, it should be a
transfer of the whole establishment, and not of negroes alone.
Sir J. MACKINTOSH was fearful that the removal bf
slaves from one island to another would pro tonio be a re-
newal of the slave-trade in our West India colonies. lie
strongly objected to the inclusion of Trinidad in the provisions
of the Bill.
Mr. HUME concurred in the view taken of the measure b
the Under Secretary. for the Colonies (Mr. W. Horton). He
was decidedlyof Opinion that Trinidad ought to be included.
Mr. F. BU7sTON said, that he could consent to the in-
clusion of Trinidad only upon the principle of adscriptfo
„Wire, and also that all children born after the removal should
be free.
Mr. CANNING thought that part of the Bill might be so
modified as to meet the views of in. Members on both sides.
Dr. LUSHINGTON consented to withdraw his dense.

The other clauses of the Bill were then agreed to, and the
House resumed.—Report on Tuesday next.
The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the
House adjourned (till Monday) at Two o'CLocx.

PARIS PAPERS.

(From the Constlintiounel.)

PARIS, Jrr.Y 2.—A1l that has reached us respecting the acts
'el the Regency of Madrid is calculated to excite alarm with
respect to the pacification of Spain. It seems disposed to realise
all the apprehensions of the adversaries of war in the two
Chambers, and to falsify an the hopes set up by the Ministers.
—lt was said against this expedition, that it had for its
object to restore absolute power, and all the costs attending it,
because it connected us with a party determined to Make no
sacrifice nor concession, who wished to attempt in Spain what
they would at a subsequent period attempt in France. The
friends of Ministers rejected this idea with indignation, and
the first measure of the Regency is to re-establish titles, the
very name of which excites horror in the country parts of
France. It may be said that the Regency avoid, with scru-
pulous care, every thing that can afford reason to believe that
it wishes for any thing tilse than the ancient regithe in all its

purity.
Thus we arc become the auxiliaries of the Regency which
we appointed, and we have not even the power to make ideas
of peace and moderation prevail. If, as it is said, our military
action is to be null in the affairs of the new Spanish Govern-
,
ment, is our political influence also to have no result? Is,
then, the Civil Commissary of the Ministry reduced to a corn-
plete inaction ? Such is the result of the false position in
which we are placed. The party whom we serve will not con-
sent to aid us unless we leave it free to gratify vengeance, and
we have need of this party to maintain ourselves, and are
force 1 to become mute and inactive spectators of acts which
our policy and our generosity condemn.
Monday we read in a fanatical Journal the following Extract
Of a Letter from Madrid :
" 'The French Army is a model of discipline ; it makes
every day the most painful sacrifices. Several militiamen have
requited of the Military Chiefs a special protection, which may
• secure them agaimit the prosecutions which they asaprehend on
the part of their fellow countrymen:. but faithful to a strict
neutrality in this sort of discussion, they mix in nothing, leav-
ing to the Spanish Authorities the free exercise of power. This
is a line of conduct which they will not overstep, notwithstand-
ing the generosity of French hearts." •
Thus the French, prodigal of their blood in the field of bat-
tle for the Spaniards of the Fait, are unable to prevent the lat-
ter from shedding blood upon the scaffolds. Thus the most
desirable result of success is torn from our legions, and com-
bating every day to secure peace, they are compelled to neutra-,
lity and the worst of all kinds of vengeance.
A new arrangement made by the Regency can no longer
leave any doubt as to the blind fanaticism which precipitates it
in the perilous course of re-actions. The Ministers of the 7th
July are themselves proscribed, and these Ministers were. ac-
cused by the. Cortes of having yielded to' the suggestions of our
Ministry, and were only denounced for having adopted the
modifications desired by the French Government. Do they
then hope to dispose Manilla to submission, upon whose defec-
tion they seem to reckon ? He is placed almost on the same
line as
.Quiroga and Riego, and to denounce I`,lartinr7, de la
Rosa, is it not to excite Morino and his friends to sell their
lives dearly ?
L'Abisbal, who speaks of modifications, is he not in danger
of being shot by the men of the Faith ? He has attempted to
play in Spain the same character which has been played in Por-
tugal by Sepulveda, and whilst one is proscribed at Aladrid, the
other is in favour at Lisbon.
The Drapeau Plane has seen MM. Casimir Perier, Bondy,
and Manuel, promenade on the Prado at Madrid on the 14th
June. Probably it was at Madrid, near the Bois de Boulogne,
that these three Honourable Deputies were met by the Jesuits
who edit the Drapeau Blanc. The same Journal states, that
7-tithe of Spain wish for a counter-revolution,) and simple,
and that the words of moderation, union, and oblivion, are not
in vogue. It would be singular enough if the Spaniards of the
Faith were tO manifest sueli sentiments'in the presence of the
Duke d'Angouleme, who was the first to use these words in
France.
The Journal des Dihats ought to be a little more circum-
spect in the intelligence which it publishes. After having an.
nounced for a month that Mina would be a prisoner next day ;
that he was wandering weeping among the mountains; that he
had only entered La Seu, with two shepherds, and that he was
ill with grief and fatigue. It declared yesterday that he was
marching upon Lerida, and that La Sett was to be blockaded
on his quitting. it.
(PRIVATE ConIIESPOWDENCE.I
Film/Krona., Jitarz 20.—Our commerce was never in a
greater state of stagnation. Our relations with • France are
particularly affected. We scarcely now see any of the French
travellers, who were formerly to be found every where in (ler.
many. This city, so justly renowned for the solidity of its
commerce, feels the effects of the stagnation. One of the
most considerable houses here was very recently compelled to
stop payment. Its misfortunes are not owing to the system of
stock-jobbing, but to the circunistances of the times.
In the speculations here in the public funds, there has been
for some time but little variation. The Austrian Securities are
nearly at the same rate. Spanish paper is reserved for more
favourable times, waiting the solution of the question upon
which its value will ultimately depend. Gold is still rising,
which is attributed to the quantities sent by Messri. Roths-
child to Vienna, and into France.

Faux& JULY 2.—The suspension of our Journal has not
permitted us to examine an event very important in the pre.
sent conjuncture. . The recal by the three Powers of the North
of their Charges d'Affaires at the Court of Wurtemberg, will
probably produce important results, and deserves to he consi-
dered. This measure gives a decidedly new character to the
policy of Cabinets. It does not operate merely upon the free-
dom of nations, but upon the independence of Princes, for the
italy Alliance extends its jurisdiction from subjects to the Go.
g
vernments themselves. We have foreseen this step, and events
confirm our eonjecturet. It appears, that finding the proceed-
ings of the Holy Alliance contrary to diplomacy, the King of
Wurtember

rejected its decisions. The retreat of the Am-
in which he had not participated,
orined subscribe to the internalmeasures change exacted of him. Will they
act militaril in Iris case, after having exhausted their stock of
invitations ?y In Spain,
the retirement of Ambassadors fol-
lowed the rupture of the negociations, and was followed by
the retreat of the Ambassadors. Will it be the same in Wur-
temberg?
In the latter event it will become evident that it is determined
to make absolute power the European regime. Representative
Government is attacked in all places, under all forms and under
all pretexts. It is attempted to ntevent it where it is not esta-
blished, and to destroy it where it has triumphed. For some
time, it not being wished to attack Constitutions openly, Revo-
lutions were the mark, and it seemed not to be wished to aim at
liberty, but at disorder. The doctrine of vicinage and that of
moral contagion, have served for the invasion of several states,
and the pretext for these measures has been the preservation of
order. Thu now there must be a new excuse. What will be
chosen ? The civilized world expects an important revolution.
There it no anarchy in Wurtemberg.. The Charter has not
been conquered, but conceded. There is no insurrection ; but
the Throne, the Prince, and the Nation, are in accordance to-
gether. There are therefore none of the pretexts which have
been alleged elsewhere, such as a sovereign people, a captive
King, passions, parties or excesses ; it must therefore this tithe
