WAYS AND MEANS,

Mr. MA BERt.iic'i;;;vea lik;tiidiOf the Day for receiv.
ing the Report of the Committee of Ways and Means.
Sir R. HERON took occasion to express his opinion, that
the relief proyosed to be extended to the country was totally in-
adequate to its purpose. It was with deep regret he found the
agricultural interest was to be sacrificed to the monied interest.
He was exceedingly unwilling to dwell upon these topics, be.
cause he was anxious to support, as far as his vote would sup-
port, the policy pursued by his Majesty's Ministers towards
Ireland and Spain, which he considered wax upon free and con-
stitutlonal principlo such as never before he hail known ac-
tuate tho Treasury Benches.
_ Sir JOHN NEWPORT, not having been in the House the
other night, had had no opportunity of expressing his concur.
renco in the sentiments of approbation which Fo generally pre.
vatted towards the Chancellor of the Exchequer, for the con-
sideration he had bestowed on Ireland. lie begged to say,
that in his bumble view, additionatsatisfaction must be felt, by
his countrymen, in consequence of the manner in which the
Right Hon. Gentleman had ac witted himself of ti is task. With
respect to the taxes to be remitted, he wished it to be borne
In mind that the collection of taxes generally was a con.
siderible source of vexation and expence in that country.—
He hoped the Right Hon. Gentleman would consent to the re.
pest of the Leather Tax, the collection of which was felt as
very grievous. He begged leave again to say, that he cos-
- dully concurred in all the sentiments of praise which had been
uttered 'for the luminous and detailed statement, and the libe-
ral and enlightened views of the Right Hon. Gentleman's late
financial speech.
GRENFELL wished to know if it was the intention of
the Hon. Member for Abingdon (Mr. Maberley), to press up-
on the House the discussion of those Resolutions read by him
the other night, and which were in the hands of Hon. Members.
As to the application of the Surplus Revenue of the year,
whether in
_part extinction of the debt, or in remission of taxes,
he was ready to admit it was a matter requiring great consi-
deration ; but he must say, that the ,Resolutions of his lion.

Friend, mind, I* no sort of connection with the state.

me% of the Chancegot of the EVrel;eTite;:
Mr. MABERLEV complained of the Hon Gentleman ask-
ing him a question, and then going into the discussion of the
subject before waiting for his answer. Ile need not then pro.
coed with his argument to sheer that he had taken a most pre.
judiced and most erroneous vied: of the matter. In answer to
his question, he had to say, Unit out of deference to the Chani,
cellor of the Exchequer, who did not feel prepared after his late
exertions to enter into a lengthened discussion, he had post'
poned his motion to Frioay next. The Right Hon. Gent.
had condescended to agree, that with the approbation of the
House, although an order day, his motion should have prece-
dence of any other business in which he was concerned.
.The Report of the Committee was then read, and the reso-
lutions agreed to.
FOBEIGN ENLISTMENT BILL.
Sir R. WILSON - thought it his duty to the petitioners,
whose petition he was about to present, that he (Sir R. iVil.
son) had no connection whatever with the drawing of it t 9.—
It sprang from their own generous feelings and high spirit, in
public meeting, legally convened and assembled in the most
orderly manner. It was from the inhabitants of St. John,
Southwark, and the prayer of it was the repeal of the Foreign
Enlistment Bill. From circumstances of a family nature, he
understood the motion of a Noble Friend of his (Lord Althorp)
for the repeal of this Bill was not likely to come on on Thursday
next ; but he could not help remarking on the very favourable
auspices under which it was brought forward. Ile alluded to
the Order in Council relative to the exportation of arms to
Spain.-4 Hear, hear !)—Most gladly would he see this odious
Act repealed. It had been originally passed in violation of
the usages of our own and foreign countries. It was directed
against the rights of the world, and had been properly treated
as the ally of tyranny. He could not conclude without con.
gratulating the country and his Majesty's Ministers upon the
happy change in our foreign policy which had lately evinced
itself in their acts and language.—(Hear, hear !)
Mr. 110BHOUSE seconded the prayer of the Petition, and
congratulated the House and the country upon a revocation
of a particular Order in Council which bad been alluded to.
If his Majesty's Ministers persisted in this line of policy, they
would soon replace this country in the situation she formerly
held amongst nations, anti which she would again assume.—
(Hear, hear !)—lfe did think that by following up this course
with the Bourbons of' France, something short of war would
enable this Government to attain the objects it seemed to
have in view. By the repeal of the Foreign Enlistment
Bill, and the Alien Bill, we should be restored to the situa-
tion we had been in, and which we had lest, since our Conner..
tion with the Holy Alliance. The Bill, it had been stated at
the time, was for the protection of the interests of Old Spain,
and if by the same rule we were to listen to the instigations
upon which It was originally passed, it would now be re-
pealed. Ile hoped the revocation of the Order in Council
would teach the Bourbons of France what they were to expect
in case of their not slackening in the impious course they were
now pursuing. He (Mr. Hohhouse) had been most cautious not
to utter a word ,on this subject until war should appear to
be inevitable, being most desirous not in any way to hasten
what must be always considered as a calamity. But he
would now undertake to 'da, that if his Majesty's Ministers
went into this war it wounds be hacked by the whole people.—
(Hear 1)—Ile thought his Mijesty's Ministers had acted with
extreme prudence throughout the whole of this matter, and if
his praise were worth having, he would freely bestow it. He
was not, however, talking of the late Ministry; but of the Mi-
nistry as it now existed • for he was convinced that if the lan-
' gunge that had been tately held at Verona had been, earlier
spoken, our Holy Allies would not now he engaged in the work
they had in hand. Ile had been much surprised by some pas-
sages in.a work called a Treasury work, but not one, he was
sure, of the Treasury of the present day. The title of it was,
" The Crisis of the Aflitirs of Spain." This work told them to
consider what would be the conduct of France—what the con.

(Wet of Austria, were we to take part with Spam. But what
did we care for what Prance and Austria might do in any par
ticular case as regarded this country. As to Prance, he
'wished it to be borne in mind that we had beaten the French
on the very same ground already.—(hear, hear I)—And as to
Auatria, let her look to her Italian. provinces, now ripe for re.
volt, and which every well-informed man know, ready to
break out upon England holding up her finger in token of
assent..--(Hear
Mr. Sceretary CANNING thought the House might ex..
pect it of him that he should take some part in the discussion
on the topic which had incidentally arisen. But a few words,
however, did he think he was:called on to say; for amongst
other qualities which had been attributed to the Government
by the lion. Member who had just sat down, prudence forbade
at this moment much discussion; and he was excedingly anxious
to repress it if he could.—(ilear, hear 1)—Ile must, however,
say, that he shoul4 be apting unfairly were he not to reject any
praise onbred to him as having acted with a new spirit, and
upon novel' principles, for he had found embodied in a State
Paper in the Office which he had now the honour to fulfil
that very course laid down, and those very principles proma.
gated, a faithful. adherence to which had gamed hint the ap.
probation of that House.—(Hear, hear l).-.With respect to the
other compliments, the House would see that it was Impossible
he could allow himself then to be led into the consideration of
them.—(Hear, hear )—lle would only add, that all discus.
sion was inexpedient whilst there remained a hope that
what all Europe desired, might be accomplished, viz. a trap.
quil result ; and that at the present moment, besides these
general reasons, there were circumstances which rendered it
peculiarly requisite that they should abstain from discussion.
He was therefore glad that the postponement of the motion
relative to the °reign Enlistment fish had been decided on ;
because it would be impossible to go into discussion without
bringing to bear upon it some of those topics it was desirable to
avoid. It was, however, but justice for him to avow, indeed
it would he ungrateful not to say, that in conducting the nego.
tiatiun with the Foreign Powers alluded to thus far, he had
been mainly aided by the forbearance shewn by that House.—
(Cheers.)
The Petition was then read and ordered to be printed.
COLONEL, WOOD.
Mr. CURWEN presented a Petition from a Gentleman of
the name, of Wood, forrnerly.in the 3.lth Rement, complain-
ing of having been unjustly deprived of his Military Commis.
mon, and praying for an inquiry into his case, and such relief
as the merits of it should seem to deserve.
Lord PALMERSTON said, the case of this Gentleman was
that of an individual who was a public debtor, his Commission
having been sold for the liquidation of his debt: This deface.
tion arose from his being engaged in two bads about the year
1796, upon one of which he was a debtor to the extent of
38281., and upon the _other to the amount of 42071. These
debts had been ascertained in the time of Mr. Windham to
his entire satisfaction, and upon his recommendation the Corn.
mission had been sold. Ile (Lord Palmerston) finding that
there was upwards of 20001. due, and that this Gentlemen had
really no property, bad taken on himself to relinquish the
debt. lie believed he had been a Member of that House twice
and as he had not thought proper to urge his own claims, he
(Lord Pala erstone) felt coiltirmed In the view lie had taken of
the justice of the.case.
Colonel DAVIES said, that Colonel Wood had never heard
of his being a public debtor till 1814. The fact was, it was a
matter between him and iii*agent, and Government had no
business to interfere in it at all. What this Gentleman now
asked for was to be restored to his rank, in order to reestablish
his character. lie derived no pay either retrospectively or pro-
spectively.
Sir It. 'WILSON thought this Gentleman was entitled to the
:protection of the House. • .
The Petition was then read, and ordered to be printed:
MR. 110WRINtL,

Lord A. lIAMILiON gave notice that he should, on
Thursday next, move for the Correspondence between Mr.
ilowring and the Government of this country.
SUPPLY REPORT.

On the Report of the Committee of Supply being brought
up,
Mr. lIUME said, he wished to make'it few remarks on the
practiW of Government in promotions in the Navy last year.
The House ought to know the extent of the dead weight, as it
was callekl„ of the allowances to-naval officers. 'a return of
January 1822, there were 5,889 officers, Lieutenants, and up.
wards, at 01 expence of one million for half-pay alone. He
did think that promotions in the Navy had now become the
greatest matti:r of favour, and the greatest means of influence
over that Howse, Last year there was a great number, and
he had no doubt a Return would chew that scarcely any of
them had any claim whatever. It was an evil of great magni-
tude, for the strsngtli and glory of this country depended on
the state of-the Navy, He was sure that not one-tenth ought to
have been promoted, and it would appear that the half-pay
re-
duction about
,tornabkeinuxnaainlei.nerSeasinece tobfe had
been ihialadf
thus weighing on the was a greater sutra than all the
been promoted
notwithstanding that small number
a million. Out of 5 1 Officers, there were only 5
em-
ployment last year, and 48 in
said of the Alsoines last 7 ear, viz. that Inc Staff-was greater
150 were promoted last year". He again repeated what he had
than it
should be. lie wistied also to observe with iegard to
the Ordnance Craft, that ther ought to be contracted for, as
was the way with the Navy Ward, and as was fecomineoded
by several thmmittees to that House.
Sir JOHN 081-101tN regretted that the Clerk of the Ord-
fiance "was not in the house to ansver the Hon. Gentleman on
the topic he had last adverted to. As to the system of pro.
motions in the Navy, whenever the ',lion. Gentleman should
bring forward any 'secific motion, the Admiralty would be
found ready to justify that system. It would be found that
on foreign stations where promotion toot's place by casualtieti,
the vacancies were filled up by MitistOPtnelt on the spot,

otherwise ships would often be left fur a long time unofficered.
The other promotions would be found to be of Midshipmen
who had passed their examination for Lieutenants, upwards
of six years, having thereby been twelve years unprompted.
The others would be Lieutenants and Captains of Flag Ships
coming home from foreign stations. With reprd to the reduc.
tion on the whole Estimate over the last, it was 220,0001.
chiefly derived from the wear and tear, and victuals. Of the
arrangement with regard to the 31arines, he would reserve what
he had to say for the motion of the lion. Member.
The Report was then agreed to.
IRISH YEOMANRY CORPS.

Mr.GOULafillsf postponed the motion for the second read-
ing of this Act to the 6th of March.
Mr. HUME observed, that unless it was the intention of Go-
vernment to put down the system of Orange Lodges and their
connection with the Yeomanry Corps, he should consider it his
duty to oppose the Bill in every stage ; so much did he consi-
der this Corps to disturb the peace of Ireland.
Mr. DAWSON would be happy to meet the charges of the
Hon. Member whenever he chose to bring them forward. In
the mean time he begged to say, he considered it an unfair im-
putation on the great body of these Corps and Lodges to say
they disturbed the peace of the country.
Mr. GRATTAN expressed his concurrence with what had
fallen from the lion. Member for Aberdeen. He believed it
was well known one of these Corps had, done considerable mis-
chief in one part of Ireland.
The Irish Arms Bill was also postponed to the 6th March.
LATE LAW PROCEEDINGS IN IRELAND.
Mr. BROWNLOW rose to move for Papers connected
with certain recent transactions wh'ch had taken place in the
Court of King's Bench in Ireland. As he understood that
there would not be the slightest objection made to his motion,
be should content himself with moving for the returns, without
observation. The Hon. Member then moved for Copies of the
committal of the persons who had been acquitted of an alleged
riot, or conspiracy to riot, in the Dublin Theatre, on the 14th
of December, 1822. Ordered. _ _

Also for Copies of the bills of indictment for the alleged
riot, or conspiracy to riot, preferred before tho,,Ggand, Jury
on the Ist of January, and the finding of the Jury thereon.—
Ordered.

Also for Copies of the cx officio informations'upon the same
subject, filed in the Court of King's Bench by his Majeity's
Attorney-General for Ireland. Upon this question being put,
Mr. PLUNKETT said he was desirous of claiming the at-
tention of the House for a very few minutes, though not with
any intention of offering the least opposition to the motion of
the Hon. Member. He concluded it to be the Hon. Member's
intention to follow up his present motion for papers with some
ulterior proceedings respecting what has recently happened
at Dublin ; that was the legitimate period for discussing the
conduct and the acts connected with what had so taken place.
This was merely a motion for papers, and it was neither his
Intention to invite, nor to commence debate upon such an oc-

casion. But he rose to express his extreme satisfaction at
finding that at last this question was to come regularly, for-
ward—to express his extreme satisfaction that it was placed
in the hands of an Honourable Member, who discharged his
duty so well to the
.ITotute and to the country upon all occasions.

the
share of the Hon. Member i because upon a former occasion,
when a question was put to him upon the subject of the Oahu.
lic Question, a Right Hon. Baronet thought proper to enter
upon this subject when be (Mr. Plunkett) had. no opportunity
of reply, and to state that those were improper proceedings,
upon the propriety of which the House was hereafter to be called
upon to deliberate and to judge.—( Hear !)—Now, he had ex-
pected front the well-known talent of the 'light lion. and
Learned Gentleman, that when he had anticipated the deci-
sion of the House, and characterised the proceedings which
had been adopted as improper, he would himself have come
Omani in a direct and manly manner to support the charge,
by bringing those proceedings, and measures founded upon
them before the consideration of the House.—(Hear, hear 1)—
As this was not fhe case, whenever the Hon. Member, who
now moved for these papers, should bring forward his ulterior
measure, he called upon the Right Hon. Baronet to stand up
in support of his opinions, by seconding the Hon. Member
upon that occasion. To that lion. Member he begged to say,
that as early a day as possible would be desirable for the full
discussion of the matter. He said this, not merely in re-
ference to himself, though, individually, he felt a strong desire
that his personal conduct should be investigated without loss of
time, but because the question involved the general conduct of
the Administration of the Government of Ireland under the
Marquis of Wellesley.
' Sir .1. STUART addressed the House in a tone of voice that
was for the most part inaudible. lie stated that he would hold.
ly avow tp this House and the world that the proceedings in
question were unconstitutional.--(Hear I)—fle was bound to
say so; for although he felt great admiration for his Right
lion. Friend, if he might be allowed to call him so, yet he would
nut hesitate to do his duty.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could not
help putting it to the House whether, under all the circum-
stances of the case, it would not be better on every account not
to press discussion on the present occasion.--(Ileac, hear ! and
" Go on.")—The motion was one for papers merely, and they
were to be granted upon a mutual understanding between the
parties concerned. The Right Hon. Bart. also declared openly
his opinion that the late proceedings, though not illegal, were
highly unconstitutional. Therefore as it was a matter mvolv-
ing questiens so important to the personal character of the At.
torney-General for Ireland, so impor ant to the Government of
Ireland, and consequently so important to the country at
large—it required the deliberate and grave attention of the
House, and had better be deferred till the House was fully pre-
pared to entertain it.
Mr. M. FITZGERAI4D questioned the necessity of wait.
ing for the production Of papers before the transactions in ques-
tion should be examined and discussed. Such wits the agitated
state of men's feelin in Ireland, that it was doubtful whether
a public expression of the feeling of that House were not neces-
sary before that agitation could be calmed. lie had lately been
amongst them, and it did not appear to him that on either side
the people of Ireland appeared likely to be satisfied until the
Parliament had pronounced its opinion. There was no doubt
of the good intention of the Right lion. the Chancellor of the
gxchequer, but to hint the grounds stated by that Right Hon.
Gentleman, why dismission should not take place, were
so many reasons why it should not be delayed a moment. The
personal character of the Right lion. Gentleman, the Attorney-
General for Ireland, was under imputation, and thtrefore no
time should be lost in relieving it from that condition. The
importance of the subject to the Irish Government, and to the
country at large, were reasons for the same course being pur.
sued. It was necessary that the opinions of the British Gen-
tlemen of that House should be publicly declared, in order to
calm the disquietude which had been excited ; and lie there.
fore claimed for his country that the subject should receive the
earliest possible attention. He looked to the Hon. Member
who had moved the return of these papers, for the appoint-
ment of the very first convenient day on which the question
could be discussed.—(Hear, hear would ask that lion.
Member where was the necessity of having these papers at all?
After the indictments presented to the Grand Jury had been
ignored, he would ask why they had been followed by ex.pffirio
informations ?—( Hear !),--And this was matter of notoriety.—
There were the public records of it, and it might have been
proceeded on at once, without the delay of moving for papers.
He again entreated that the subject would receive the earliest
possible consideration, as being of the most vital importance Ito
the peace of Ireland.
Mr. CROKE it said, he had looked at the two last motions
With surprise, and stuadd have risen to express its had he. not
felt unwilling to place himself in opposition to the course which
the House seemed to adopt without objection. But he did feel
strong doubt as to the propriety of the interference of the }louse
with legal proceedings nut yet closed, and upon a motion to be
thus granted upon the moment, without previous notice or con-
sideration. lie slid not mean to deny the power of the House
so to interfere ; but. that right had always been exercised with
extreme caution. lie left it to the best judges of Parliamen-
otry practice to say whether there was a prtvedent for such a
line of proceeding. Would it not be better and more consis-
tent with the ordinary course of such measures, to have given
notice of these motions, and then to have debated upon the
necessity of having the papers produced at all ? lie thought,
that rather than establish a precedent, and, as he thought, a
bad precedent, it would be advisable for the lion. Member to
withdraw the last motion, which was not yet carried, and ;dye
notice of it for another day, when the question could be &Up
discussed.

NETHERLANDS' CONSULATE.
. DEAL, Fr.u. 24, iB23.—Arrived in the Downs,
last Hight, his Netherlands' MAJESTY'S frigate
Diana, Captain VAN DER LOEFF, from the Me-
diterranean, last from the Tagus, from whence
she sailed on the lsth inst. Eleven transports
snd a frigate, with troops for the Brazils, sailed
at the same time.—The French ship of war Car-
nolina was lost near Cape Roxas on the let ;
nearly 100 persons drowned; she was bound
from France for Martinique, Oith a Governor on
board ; the Diana is bound for Flushing.

R. S. CURLING, Netherlands' Consul.

The Paris Papers of Saturday are almost en-
tirely filled with the debates of the preceding
day in the Chamber of Deputies on the reports
01 the two Committees appointed to examine the
two projects of law for the vote of credit and the
recall of the veterans under their Standards. The
reporters were, M. de 111.tacuArroy, a violent
ultra, and General DUPONT. The former,
though he had to report only, on the financial
goostion, sounded the cry of war, while the Ge-
ilerat, on whom devolved the discussion of the
military measure, said not a word about an

appeal to arms. The opinions of the Committees,
as was expected, sanctioned both the Ministerial

projects.

44 MADRID, Fiat. 15, 18'23.—1n consequence
of a proposition-which had been made to the Cortes on the pre-
ceding day, it was yesterday agreed that the KING and Royal
Family should proceed to Corunna, accompanied by Sir 11731.
ATOURT and the British Embassy, with the exception of one
Member of the British Legation, who is to remain here for the
purpose of keeping up the correspondence with the Au.
thOrities in the capital. Such is the situation of affairs in
Madrid, and indeed throughout the country, that it is believed
that the Administration cannot exist ten or twelve days longer,
even if the French army should not pass the Pyrennees. You
may rely on it, that some arrangements are about to be con-
eluded with this Government, which will be found most highly
favourable to England."
