himself to vote for it on its third reading.—ln the

situation which tendered it difficult for them to re:

.The,LAIICE of CL ARENCE Was surprized at the
manner in which the Noble:and Learned L'trd had
alluded to his condufl respeet to the present
Bill.. In consequence ofi4he observations of the
Noble and Learned Lord,l4iS Royal Highness found
in • •
it necessary to explain the situation which he
stead with resped to this Measure.: 'He would alt.
,peal.3o-the Noute•Lurd who presidettoVer the C)m.

ther in the period of sixteen years, during which he
had had the.honour of sitting in that Hm3e, he had
ever taken part in any of the Insolvent Bills brought
into Parliament.. He would state the reason why
he had not interfered';—being a zealous and sincere
admirer of the Constitution, he looked to every sot.
cies Of innovation the.ancient laws and Usages of
the Cutintry with a jealans eye. He had never
courted popularity by improper means. In all his

promlted.thosc:Which zypeared to him to he benefi.

been requested by a Noble Friend olhis. to attend to
it. That Noble Friend, -who had distinguished him.
self in the supportqf was:urea for alleviating the dis.
tresses of .11sti voi Debtors, WAS employed in an,im.
„portant command in the North when this Bill came
before Parliament, and had merely requested him to
attend to the Bid throui!,lt its different sraget. As to
the. measure itself, he had said nothing either fur or -
agairist it, hut had merely complied with the promise
he had male to his Noble Friend. He hoped .
would be so altered in the Committee as.not to do
the injury the Nol)le and Learned Loraapprthended

its cototnerciat interests rendered it of the highest

Lard G RANTL EY remarked, that, in the cntitee
.of his experience he had always found, that the
Magistrates With whom he intled, had been ex—
tremely anxious to fulfil the intentions of the Legis.
lature, and to see that such Aas were carried into
eirea_with the sttiftest re;ktrel to the situation of
the Creditor. Slunald their :Lordships think proper
to pass the present'Bill, he was persuaded. the Ma.

could state, from the best information, that the pit.

CORN BILL.

Mr. Wrtavitaw.tooved the Order of ihe Day for

the second reading of the Bill for the Amendment
of the Corn Laws. He thought it tight to, rake
this opportunity of giving notiee_thfrt it was pro.

pr:std 'to' fill up the. blank for the commencement
of the operation of the Ad, in the Committee, with
15th November, being the next following quarter.
day, instead of 15th of Augusti whiCh was the day
proposed for the commencement in the former Bill.
The reason for making this alteration was, that ac.
counts hid been received from various parts of the
Country, that the appearances of ilie.ensuing harvest
were not so favourable as there had been at first rea.
son to expel. On this ground it was thotight right
to retard the operation of the present measure' to a
period at which the. produce of the ensuing harvest
Would he ascertained and collected, so that no pre.,
mature exportation could rake place, to.expose tl,te
Country .to want. By this alteration there wou:d
also be this advantage, that Parliament would in all
probability .be sitting at the time ; which would be
a complete security fur the repeal of the measure, if
the Chiuntry should be then in a situation to* dread
any mischief from its operation. He hoped these
consider.ations would remove the .apprehenkions
which some persons entertained from the Bill, ,and
that they would induce. the Gentlemen who had al.
,teady some opp9siton to it, not to. im-

peck its progres..
111 r, Aldermaa COMDE disapproved of the Bill.
He thought it improper to bring. forward rtmea.
sure of such magnitule at the close.of a :Session,
when there was necessarily so thin an attendance of
Members. The ea& of the measure, had already
been, though it had not passed, to create seirApid a
rise in the price'of COrn as to give ground for se.
rious alarm. If the pr,,nysters of the. present Rill
had reason, from Omit intelligence, with rope& to
the ensuing harvest, to 4lefer the commencement
of the operations of the new exportation price us
i period Which would, wobbly, he revelled by
commencement of the next be saw no
":00rii why the whole consideration of the measure
wiiu!d nut much more properly be deferred to that
Session, lie shJuld therefore move that ,the MU be
reo a second time this day six months.
s;r cu?msseconcLd the Amendment pro.
posed by his worthy. Colleague. He wished
,the
House to consider -the mischievous effeets to be ap.
ficheoded from the complete operation of the
when even the eipeattion of Its being passed into
a 14w •cao.ed such a c,ifitinued and 'alarming. rise in
the price of Grain and Flour;
Sir YOUN ANDERSON felt.himself bound to
'oppose the further vrogress of the Bill; which, he
.hoped, would not be further proceeded upon in this
fiession, I; consequence of what had alre4dy been
tone upon the the Assize of Bread had been
again, for the third flow, t-tised'„
The c11,1Nc17,7,01t qf the EXCIIEQUE,'%'
olttivi43 that the petiqd of the Session wai

if the Dill which was now" before the Ilotise did not

;Ittendanee, had given its approbation, and which
would have passed into a 1., iw he'did mit see how the
ohjetaion of it's beiog now brought forward at a late
period of the Session, or in a thin attendance, could •
with propriety :be urged. The measure was not a
new one ; it was one of which 'lie ; had hCCII

highly cespeertable Committees, and ,nniily

light from: an entire new theaqtre brought forward
for 11. first !One, Which he agreed would be highly
imprwci at this late period in a thing,ofsuch snag.
riitnile„. To lay aside the meaSure• entirely, wonid
be to defeat the intention which the House had de,
eared early, and in a lull attendance. Ii was,
therefore, desirable that t be. measure should take
eff ck, unless any thing hat interfered to render it
proper to reconfider ir. Ninhing (MI ii,ll ore
had occurred ; for thong!' it had been stated, .that
the price tif Crain aid Fleur had tisen, and that the
rise was to be imputed to this measure, he he.
lieved the fail did nit go to that extent; any rise'
that had taken 'thee was to he imputed to oilier causes
than this measure, • Such rite as had taken- place;
might very eaturally he the result of theprosped
of a thadtddiCd Harvest in: the next year, and it
was yet far below the price which was universally
allowed to be nt;cestiary for the due encouragement
of Agriculture. The increase of the price that had
taken place wits not regular nor constant. In the
presets' Week the price had fallen, for thoUgn the
A:fsize of Bread hall been increased,' thtm?',Was regu.
laced 'itot by the price of the current, hut of the-last
week. The present price was far from being so
high as that, which all agreed was a eutfieiew price.
There was besides, an additional inducement to pinta

the Ilill, k the delay of the .commencement of die
new export price till Isth INLivetiaber ; the coun,
try would be secure of its own barvest, and the,
usual fkilities I;ll4Upply,frOm America arid the Bal7,
tic would still he open. It would also be easy at
that time to adopt in a full Parliament, any altera-
tion, if circumstances should be such as to render
any nece,sary. This course was far better than that
Parliament should, by reje&ing the present Bill, tun
counter to. its own- sense,- so fUlly and decidedly
pronounced.
Lord ARCHIBALD HAMILTON said, ,that
the Amendment proposed by the•worthy Alderman,
removed :melt of the objections which he had to the
Bill. He still, however, thought that the consider.
ation of the measure might, without any danger, be
deferred till next Session; for to him it did nor ap.
pear that any such necessity now existed as to call for
and justify such urgency.
After a few word, in explanation from Mr.•PITT
and Mr. WESTERN, the House .divided on the ques.
lion of the proposed Amendment, when the Mud.
hers were, _

FINANCES.

Mr.7OIINSTONE,aIte! a. few prefatory remarks,
ob,erved, that the former Resolution, moved by a
Right Hon. Friend of his (Mr, Ti E.RN BY), differed
in some instances from thuSe he meant to subinit.--,
His Right Hon. Friend used to compare the annual
accounts with those of the year 1793 ; that having
been the last year of peade. He had not taken that
year, hut, instead of it, the year 1802, as that was
the last year Of the last Peace. His Right Hon.
Friend used also to take a view of our probable si,
tuition on the return of Peace. lie did not intend
to do so, because he considered that the return -of
Peace was an event, with reseed to the period of
which it was not very praaicable to,speculate, and,
likewise, because he thought. that whatever. might',
he our circumstances, „Ind the establishment then
to he regitired, we should find ourselves possessed of
ample means for every such purpose. The predic...
tions made by Gentlemen on both sides of the House
1).1 been fulfilled t those' who prediited an increased
demand for expences, had seen their predidions ye.
rifiedi while those who prognosticated an increase in.
our Finances had likewise found their promises made
Rid by the event. The differences bet Ween
esolutions and" those of the Right Hon. Gentleman
opposite, were indeed but small. The three first of
their Resolutions- were elike, except
,in .a trifling
particular. Thelion. Member then preceeded
point Out a few differences, which did not.amount
to any citCtiliistance of 'magnitude.:
The,CW4NG4LLOR of. the EXCIIEQUERwaS
very happy' to find, and to hear from the Hon. G., n.
that his. Statement correspon.led •So ne.triy.
with his own..—[ A copy of this statement it blurted
•ter the next. page.]—There were, it was true, sotne
point of difference, but nothing as to the general
result of the whole. No other opinion but that ex.
pressed by the ilon..Gentleman,.could he drawn by
any man who candidly Sat. down to the perusal anti
consideration of these Statements. Stieh a prosperous
crate of finincial.. affairs had never been paralleled
by any Country whatever in the Ilbtory the
and' was certainly beyond the warmest expee6iibri,,
of any•man. Aftei ten years of a .wide and corn.
plicated War, and_ the very speedy renewal of that
War, with all its consequent expences, we found our
resources still in the same progressive.srate of pros.
perity as before we entered upon the difficulties of
that War. One' point had h:rii muted by the`
Hun, Gentleman, intimately eonneoed wilts our
strength and greatness : he meant the state of our
Navigation. There was dist) another:Of ;great mo.
meat, the progressive proportion of the Sinking
Fund, -a,, progression, which, he was
_ll:iply to say,.
kept a proportion with the increase of. the. National
expenditure. After allowing for the Loan,,&.::the
Sinking Fund .was as 1.733 part of than debt;
when last year it was onty a 77th part. It had
been imprnved since the War began, i,:micolatly by
the plan of raising in:me), within the year ; so that
there was every. romped of continuing prosperity.

Mr.„ JOntViTONE said, 'hit the 'Public Creditor

De.br in Ireland ; he, therer.ife, thought it lair to
include it.

COR RY said,' that the Irish Treasury was
never run to any extremity that gave the least
ground for any such apprehension.
Mr. FR4NGIS womhemf to to know, if the sum
said to have been flue from the Emperor; were to be
a Debt chargeable ultimately upon Great Britain.?
It Was a matter of exultation, that time Resources of
the Country had been increasing in proportion lo the
demand, upon it, but he hoped that this triumph.
would not be so indiscreetly expressed', as it would
be by abandoning that system of economy which it
was the duty of the House to preserVe. Of the in.
crease of the Public'Debr, there was no dAthi, but
of the augmentation of the means to discharge it,
there was not equal certainty, and this eircum,tanee
alone should be, sufficient to inspire caution. The
Right Hon. Gentleman (Mt. l'irr), had said,' that
as the Public Debt increases, the Sinking Fund gains
upon it, He wished to learn if this did not arise
from the diminution of time Funds, which was to
,he
attributed to the calamities of War, If thii were
the case, it woul.l he a singular source of satisfac-
tion, for it would rit,a in the ratio of time depth of nut
misfortunes. A little might be seen of the difficul-
ties of the Country 'from the -emotive of the flour
Rates, which were awed by the Accounts on the
Table, at the sumo of five millinns7 The House would
do :well to recollect, while it was imposing Pew
Loans, that every additional boatmen rendered the
people less capable of bearing the increasing system
of Taxation.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
1? ..A Nc i,),
wass nut
that the Hon. -Gentleman (Mr.
correct in his conjeture respeamg the Sinking
Fond. He supposed that its disadvantageous ap.
pearance arose: from the decline of the Stocks. The
truth was, that in the comparative Statement, the
Funds were taken as part. The just cause of sans.
faftion in this' particular, was the amount of the
.Sinking Fund itself. Nearly Seven Millions a year
of theexpence we were now incurring was taken
Away by this, expedient. The application of it' at
the present rate of Stocks- will pay off about Thirteen
Millions, and that at.a period when our public ex.
pences were annually Forty. Millions. With respet
to the Debt from the Emperor, he said, that ap,
plications had been made to the Austrian Governthent
for .the repayment of the advances made by this
Country ; but that they .were, ineffectual. The
claim, however, was-acknowledged to be just ; but
the distressed and exhausted state of the Austrian
Finances were pleaded as an excuse fur delaying the
discharge of the Mbr.

• Mr;ADDINGTON said, that he might confirm
almost every thing that had been asserted by the
Right Hon. Gentleman. His Majesty's late Go-
vernment had made frequent applications .to the
Government of his Imperial Majesty for the repay.
ment of the debt due to this Country. They admitted
the claim, and confessed that their honour was corm
mit ted to the fulfilment of it; but that the situation
was such at the present motnent,'as to disable them
from repaying it. When the time would arrive
fur their redeeming the pledge he could not pretend
to say ; burthe demand has been pressed as urgently
as it could well have been pressed.—The Right
Hon. Gentleman then congratulated the House on
the littering prosped which our financial situation
held out ; and which appeared to be so very pros-
'serous, that those vety
,Gentlemen who were in the
habit of indulging in such gloomy apprehensions,
now only warned the House against perMitting that
prosperous primped to allure Government into any
wanton expenditure. The Right Hon. Gentleman
then went into a variety of statementa, to show'
how very produaive the War Taxes were likely to
prove, and that 'the favourable itroportint of the
Sinking Fund to the National Debt would continue
rapidly increasing, unless it were to be checked by
some unexpeONfcalamity. It was doubly consoling
that our means should be so great at such alnoment,
for no moment ever called for the. exert ion of greater
energy and vigilanCe.
FRANCIS rose to explain, that he was fir
frOM intending to promote despondency ; he neither
felt a spirit of that kind, nor would .he-proclaim it
within those walk, and before the Nation, if he
were subjeo to such a painful impression. He was
not satisfied with the explanation given of the Sink-
ing Ftnal, and wished the Right Hui.. Gentleman
'would indulge him with some further remarks,
The, CHANCELLOR ' of the EXCHEQUER.
said, the only advantage the Sinking Fund received
front the present state of the Stocks, With relied 'to
the comparison ;With the gross Debt, was, that the
purchase was noW at 5 per cent. instead of 4 per
cent. interest, so that on the six or seven millions there
would appear an excess of about 70,0001. The
Hon'. Gentleman would immediately see how Small
an effect would produce on the ratio stated at 7'3'
to One.

Posing a tolerable corral estimate had been made of

Mr. JOHNSTONE observed, there was a mate-
rial mistake in the Statements presented to the
House. Twelve millions were got rid of because
they related to Ireland, and 18 mtliions because this
sum was in Scrip, and.not funded, Thus 32 mil.
lions were disposed of, and.the congratulation went
round on the occasion ; but he feared the public
creditor would not be so easily pleased with this.
mode of payment. Another objettion was, that the
expenditure was stated for four quarters, and the re.
ceipts for five, the one being reckoned ie the ist of
January, the other to the ist of April. T hus an
account was rendered founded on fietion ; the
House and the .Public were to be deceived, and
un these nugatory.representations we were to fell.
citate each other on the magnitude of the public
resources. Numerous causes of an increased expen.
diture might be assigned. The .seamen were now
only in number 105,000, but it was on all hands,
agreest that they ought to be augmented to
335,000.; this would, greatly enhance the ex.
peace of the Navy. The War had hitherto been
only defensive, but it was presumed .another year
would carry hostility to the •possessiont of the Ene.
my.: this again would be an additional charge to
. the Nation. All' these contingencies ought to be
`provided for by the providence of Ministers.
After a few words from the CHatmc sta.oit of the
E;tctisQue a, the rtevious Questions were put and
wiptc“irti, and the original Resolutions were car.
riLd without a division.

The Houte then immediately adjourned,.

LONDON, JULY 2s, 1804.

Hts Majesty Ship Calcutta, arrived at Ports°
mouth hum New South Wales, fell in wiai at•sea)
on the I,Blh
June, an American Ship from Batavia,
the Captain of which informed them, that when he
left Batavia
,{,late not mentioned) the French Squa.
drop under Admiral LINOIS was at that pl ice, hav-
ing previously att4Cked the English China Fleet,
and been beat off.

Dispatches have b.en received by G,,vernment
from New South Wales, dated the t ith of IVlarcli,
stating that an Insurrection had broken out there,
which for some time threatened serious consequences,
The Insurgents, who were chiefly United Iris>>
men, assembled at Castle.hill, with the avutsea
objed of marching to Paronatta, and after plin6ng
the Tree of Liberty -at the Government Hoe,
to proceed to Sydney. Their designs tz tic,
ever,. frustrated by the adivity of the Goverinnot.
The Insurgents were entirely routed, three hundred
of thent were taken, or delivered themselves LIP;
ten were seleetedi tried by a Court Martial,

of considerable extent is now precluded, by.
the wise plan of raising the greater part 01
