Mr. Vit.:is d ppror of any question of sorbs
importance being agitated in the 'min of tin' text
Week.

Colonel CkAUTUP.b then deferred his Motlitin to
ThOrsday se'ntiight.
Sir Wm. DOLaßtr, in consequence of the clecreaS.
ing state of the growing Oak Timber in this Coon.
try, and the very increasing &Mulct there was for
it, said he had long thought it necessary to oblige
every planter to make Oak Timber a certain portion
of his plantation, and for that purpose moved that a
Committee be appointed to take into consideration
the present growing state of the Oak Timber of this
Country.
Mr. Arxtrts seconded the Motion.

Mr. PITT Objeaell to ittoas not likely to lead to
any important consequences, and tending to violate
the rights of private property.
Sir Wm:Dousati replied, that the same objedion
would he applicable to all Enclosing and other Bills,
in which the Public was to partake o`f the advan.
tnges ; and he thought it would be important to di*
Public, and not disadvantageous to the individual,
if the latter should be obliged to plant with Oak one
acre out of fifty.

Sir Wm. ELFORD spoke against the motion.
Admiral MARKAIAM thought the subjed of the
motion to be of the most serious importance, and
one tivhich, if not adopted now, should be taken up
on a much more enlarged scale at a future time.
The present situation of the Royal Forests required
some such subsidiary measure, and some limitation
to be made to the use of British Oaks in other Ships
except those of tha Royal Navy.
The Motion was negatived.

Mr. H. LASCELCES expressed his regret at not
seeing an Hon, Gent. (Mr. Wit tratteisci) in his
place, as he wished to explain, that when he yes.
terday gave notice of his intention to bring forward
a,Motion on that part of the Tenth Report which
related 'to a Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. PITT)
day before that signified by the Right Hon. Gentle.
man alluded to, tie had not in contemplation the ad-
journment fur the Holidays. He wished it to be
under,tood, that he did not intend to persist in
his Motion, but would also apprise the House, that
if, in the Resolutions, meant to be proposed by
Mr. WHITBREAD' there should he any thing Of a
crimmattng nature, counter Resolutions would be
preparetl,. and if no other person should think
proper to come forward, he would himself under.
rake that duty.
Mr. PITT moved the Order of, the Day for
taking into consideration the Report of the Com.
mittee on the Message of the House of I...)rds, re.
(riling their reasons for calling for the attendance
of Earl ST. VINCENT, to give evidence in the case of
Sir HOWIE PoPHAM--which being read, he said,
he saw no radical advantage in giving any an.
swer to the Lords, in the shape pointed out by the
Committee, as hr believed it to be the insmetnerial
usage of their Lwdships not to allow any of their
Members to be called upon to give evidence which
might criminate themselves, He therefore moved,
that the Report might be te.committed to the same
Committee.

Mr. KIDtItAIRA (one of the Committee) wished
to know; in what sense the Report was to be re.
committed ? The Committee reported the only two
points on which they wished to examine his L.trd.
bhip, but did not mean, to call him before them,
purely as a witness. It was not their wish to have
made his Lordship a party ; and he therefore sug.
tested the propriety of recommitting the. Bill, with
explanatory instruttions.
Sir J. STE WART and Sir W. gURROWRII spoke in
favour of the re.tom►nitment.

The Seemtex explained, that the House never
instruited a Committee, as to its Report, but as to
the nature of its proceedings.
The Report was then ordered to be re-committed
to the wine Committee.

On the Report of the Irish Distillery Bill ; .
Mr. J. FiTzolltALD expressed his regret. at find-
ing a rue4sure of so much consequence to.the trade
of both Countries, pressed on its so thin an attend.
.nee; and particularly when it inflicted penalties of
so very severe a description,

Mr. FOSTER replied., that the Bill was long be.
fore the House ; that it was well known the laws
hitherto adopted were not sufficient to cope with
the energies of the Smuggler ; and that it was in.
dispensibly necessary, to make the penalty a pecu.
Diary one, in the first place; and for the second
offence, to extend to transportation out of that
Country.

Sir. J. STEWART spoke in.support of the Bill.
Mr. WI Le ERvoac s said, he made no doubt but
the Right Hon. Gentleman had well considered the
justice of the ease ; but, if absolute necessity .did
not exist, he wished the penalties in this instance,
as well as others, to assimilate with the mild spirit
of the English LAWS.
