HOUSE OF PEERS,
THURSDAY, APRIL 8.

Cou were heard at considerable length relative to the
Scotch Appeal, Sir ROEEKT Pit WON, Bart. v. the Earl of
DoNnoN Am) and others, namely, Mr. ADAM and Mr.
GILLII.S for the Appellant. After which ,their Lordships
deferred the further hearing of the Case till to-morrow.

Immediately after Counsel had retired from the
Bar, a conversation rook place betweeen the Earl of
Alo IRA and Lord GRENVILLE, principally on the
subject of the measures taken with respect to the
son of the late Nabob of Arcot it arose from
the former Peer's reminding the House that he had
not long since called the attention of their Lord-
ships to the subject, intimating at the same time,
an intention , he had entertained of bringing for-
', ;trd a Motion upon the st:Lje6t. On /his point,
we understood the Noble Earl to say, that hearing
dispatches from India were shortly expefted, he
:vas induced to postpone his intended proposition.--
Z i the beginning of the conversation, both their
•-r:orttships were scarcely audible, but the interference
of Lord GRENVILLE apparently arose from what
the Noble Earl asserted to be a misunderstanding,
namely, that something had fallen from him which
implicated of affened the charaCter of two Noble
Lords (we believe the Marquis WELLEst.E.v. and
Lord Ct. tvE), and under which impression Lord
GRENVILLE observed he held it his duty to come
forward, and aecoidingly he spoke in vindication of
their Lordships.

The Earl of AfOIR A expressed his regret that
such an idea had been started, as nothing which had
fallen from him went to implicate the personages in
question, except, indeed, the Noble Lord spoke
from loose opinions stated in Newspapers : the Noble
Earl then made a variety of observations on the
measures which had been adopted on the affair in
question, and explained the way in which he had
come fcrward on the subject on a former day. He
deprecated any thing which might go to prejudge
it : lie concluded by repeating, that nothing which
he said, went to throw an oblique stain upon the
charaners in the contemplation of the Noble Lord.

Lord GRENVILLE, in the course of his expla-
nation, observed, that either with regard to the
justice of the case, or with a reference to the Cha,
raciers of the two Noble Personages alluded to, he
also wished the case might not be prejudged, but
that the conduct of the Noble Earl should be imi-
tated in suspending further observations thereon un-
til the fads were fully before the Public, and the
Douse; and that no other impression should be made
but what should arise from a fair discussion, pro-
ceeding from a thorough knowledge of the fads and
circumstances of the case.

On the Motion of Lord WALL3INGHAM, leave
was granted to His Royal Highness the DUKE of
CL,RENCE to attend the Committee of the House
of Coma-tons; on Dr. Jenner's Petition, respecting
the Vaccine Inoculation.

A second conversation took place between Lord
GRENVILLE and Lord PELxAtvt, respecting, chiefly,
the point "of arrangement, with respect to time,
for- the diseussion of the Definitive Treaty :—ir pro-
ceeded from the former Peer's wishing to know at
irai period, as nearly as the Noble Secretary of
Siate was then able to fix, the Noble Lord thought
the Definitive Treaty would be presented to the
House.llis Lordship took occasion to observe,
upon the peculiar nature and importance of.the pre.
sent Treaty of Peace, and adverted to what had
been the pray ice with reeped to the discussion of
former Treaties. He hoped that Ministers would
not press a speedy decision with respect to the pre-
sent Definitive Treaty,' which involved considera-
tions of the first magnitude, and numerous details of
the utmost importance—Las not only the interests of
the British Empire, -in Europe, were deeply af-
feded, but in her Colonial, and, particularly, in
her Possessions in• India :—He hoped also, that
the necessary doctiments, for the purpose of af-
fording their Lordships an adequate degree of
information on subjects of such importance, would
he laid before the House. With a reference
to one of the prominent considerations of the sub-
jed in a commercial point of view, his Lordship
particularly wished for the production of a docu-
ment, but which he did not then intend to move
for, setting forth the quantity of logwood and ma-
hogany imparted from the Bay of Honduras into
Great Britain and her Colonies- from the year 1786
to the present period.
Lord PLLHAM who was, as well as Lord
GRENVILLE, Iwo or three times on his feet in
the course of the conversation, observed, with re_
sped to the query of the latter, and as we under-
stood the Noble Lord, that the arrival of the Rati-
fication of the Treaty was not expeted earlier, than
would enable Ministers to lay it before the House pre-
viously to the first Monday after the Easter Recess.
This, as his Lordship after wards explained, he exped-
ed w be on Monday fortnight, With respea to what
had fallen from the Noble Lord in the way of argu-
ment, he should, as it wa3 obviously irregular, and
foreign to any thing then before the House, abstain
from following him: With respeet to the informa-
tion required, we understood the Noble Secretary
to say, that what Ministers conceived to be pro.
per or necessary for the due illustration of the sub-
jed, should be laid before the House. At the same
time, it was open to any Noble Lord to move for
such Dbcuments as he should think proper. With
respect: to that particularly adverted to by the
Noble Lord in the present instance, he seemed to
conceive there was no objection to the production
of such an Account.

The Bills upon the Table were then forwarded
in their respeCtive stages, and the consideration of
one of the Standing Orders, which stood for this
evening, was postponed.
A number of Private Bills brought up by dif-
ferent Gentlemen from the Commons, were then read
a first time, after which the House adjourned till
to-morrow.

HOUSE 'OF COMMONS,
THURSDAY, APRIL 8.
•
Sir WILL! AM SCOTT brought up the Clergy Non- gni-
deuce Bill. It was react a first time, and ordered wbe read
a second time to-morrow.

The Parish Apprentice Bill was brought up, and after a
short conversation between Sir WILLIAM ELFORIIt and Mr.
WILBRAHAM BOOT,LE, was ordered to be engrossed.

LOAN 811.1

Mr. N. VANSITTART moved the Order of the. Day on
the Loan Bill.. It was read a second time, and ordered to a
Committee of the whole Hous..e to-morrow. •

The Bill for certain Duties on Servants, Carriages, Dogs
and Horses was,read a first title.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
said, that he had reconsidered the case of servants
ailing as journeymen, and at the same time as
menial servants. He was convinced that they
afforded a fair criterion of the wealth of their
masters, and were therefore a fair objet for taxa-
tion: ,

Mr. M. A. TAYLOR had no objeftion to taxes
on servants of whatever description, and no man
should be readier than himself to give a fair return
on this head. But he wished to state to the House
a considerable grievance in the present mode of
colleding these taxes. Gentlemen who usually re-
sided 't a particular place, but
.had an occasional
residence at another place, for a month or two of
the year, were in danger of being charged with
the duty at. both places. The Tax-office, indeed,
whin applied to, had never refused redress, but
this redress was attended with many obstacles and
much delay. If the Gentleman thus surcharged
happened to be at the distance of
,zoo or 300 miles
from one of the places, he will rather submit to
the imposition than put himself to the trouble and
expence of travelling so many miles, without which
he cannot have redress, rls personal attendance, to
give his oath, is requisite.
Mr. N. VANSJTTART observed, that this
would require a separate bill of regulation.

The Bill was then ordered to be read a second
time to-morrow.

Mr. TIERNEY observed, that there-were some
things in the proposed alterations in the Sinking
Fund which he did not properly understand. Several
calculations would requtie to be produced in order
to elucidate the subject. He did not comprehend
how the four millions were to be made out, nor
how the Short Annuities were to be disposed of.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
said, that the Hon. Gentleman had only anticipated
what he himself intended to propose. He wished,
above all things, to produce the calculation to the
House, but he did not see how it could properly be
done. The calculations of an individual could not
well be produced as the foundation of a Resolution
of the House. When the former Bills were passed
in 1786 and 1792, no calculations were required.
In order, however, to give all imaginable Satis-
faaion, he intended to move the consideration of
the Bill on Tuesday, then to produce the calcula-
tions, if required, to. have the Bill printed, and
allow the affair to undergo the examination of- the
Members, during the holidays. The objet. of his
plan was to consolidate the Sinking. Fund. and the
Public Debts. At a given period, perhaps 0398,
when it was supposed four millions would remain
in the hands of the Commissioners for liquidating
the National Debt, iie wished that the interest of
these four millions should be continually-added; and•
whoie be applied' to liquidate the debt, instead
of be: )g diverted to the extinetion- of taxes. The
500,0001, which was expeeted. in 1808 to revert
from the Short Annuities, he 'want• to leave at the
discretion of Parliament, to be applied, if they
thought proper, to the extinaion of taxes. The
calculation proves, that in less than forty-five years
the whole National Debt will be extinguished. He
wished to give every Gentleman the completest
satisfaftion on the subject, and he thought the me-
thod he proposed the most efficacious for this pur-
pose.—He then moved that the Bill he taken into
consideration next Tuesday, which was agreed to.
The Bill for additional Duties orrWindow Lights,
was read a second time, and ordered to be com-
mitted to-morrow in a Committee of the whole
House.

The Beer and Ale Bill was read a second time,
and was ordered to be committed to-morrow.

The Corn Trade Bill was read a second time, and
ordered to be committed to-morrow.

The 'House then went into a Committee on the
Woolwich Lands' Bill. The Report was ordered
to be received to-morrow.

Mr. CORRY presented several Estimates and Ac-
counts with regard to the Irish Finances.—Ordered
to lie on the Table.
The House then went into a Committee on the
