CORN TRADE.

Mr. WESTERN moved the reading of the Order of
the Day, fur the further consideration of the Report
of the Committee on the Corn Trade, for the pur-
pose, as the Hon. Gentleman stated, of postponing
the Order until tomorrow.

Mr. P ESON observed, that the considera-
tion of this Report had bzen freqacntly postponed,
and he wished to know the reasons which induced
the Hon. Gentleman to propose the farther post-
ponement of it until to-morrow. The lubject to
which the Report refer red, he conceived to be of
the utmost importance. It was one upon which hr
had taken every method in his power to acquire the
fullest information. To the Committee appointed
to consider it he had paid very close attention, an,i
he had the misfortune to differ fr m the weiner are
of the Gentlemen o► which that Comitir ire was
composed. This difference was of such a nature,
that he hoped one of the motives for postponement,
was to reconsider the grounds of this diffirence.—
Indeed the Report W 3.5 such, that he wished it to be
totally reconsidered, for it would go, if adopted, to
alter the bearing and tendency of ouf Corn Laws,
and the whole _system of our Imports and Exports,
with respeCt to grain.
Mr. WESTERN saw no nbjeCtion that could, in
point of candour, be advanced against deferring tins
Motion till to-morrow. There was in the "fable
proposed in the Report of the Committee, a devia-
tion from the Table fixed by the Corn Act of 179 ;
the reason's for hich, though founded on the best
principles, werenot sufficiently explained in die body
of the Report. To obtain such explanation, and to sa-
tisfy the House and the public as to the motives of the
change, ii Was 'proposed to move the recommittal of
the Report. This was one reason why it was deem-
ed advisable to put off the consideration until to_
morrow, when other reasons for the delay which
had taken place in this business would be stated,—
Under those circumstances, he trusted there would
be no objettion to the Motion he submitted.

Mr. I',I4T.F.FSON acceded to the Motion, and
expressed a hope that when the Report of the Com-
mittee should again come before die House, it would
come in another shape.
Sir R. BUXTON thought the Motion of post-
ponement ought to be fur a Liter day. He wished
to know whether it was intended to-morrow to
consider the Report on the Table, or to move for
•
its recommitment ?

Mr. FOSTER stated, that one reason fur the
proposed re-commitment of this Report was, 'that
it would, in its present form, tend to affect the
Corn Trade between this part of the United Kit-
doM and Ireland. This was a subject which ii was
understood was to form the subjet of another Com-
mittee. With respect the question to be submitted
to the House to-morrow, of which the Hon. Baro-
net who spoke last, wished to be informed, he had
to mention, that it would be this, whether the Re-
port should be re-committed or not ; and from the
advanced period of the session, it appeared to him
that such re-committal should take place as soon as
possible, in order that upon the consideration of
the general question, the Report, upon such re-
committal, should be laid before the House in due
dine.

The Motion was agreed to.
DEFENCE OF THE NATiow.

Mr. rur-r deferred till Tuesday his Motion on the
Subject of the Defence of the Nation.
Mr. CARR rose to ask the Right Hon. Gentle-
rzan (the CHANC LLOR of the EXCHEQUER) whe-
ther, as his promised Motion respeding the Defence
of the Country was deferred till Tuesday, upon
which day an Order stood for a Committee to con-
ider s:veral Petitions relative to the Irish Linen

OUR Readers Will do us the justice to recol.
lea, that on Saturday last we stated that BONA.
PARTE had been proclaimed Emperor of France,
avid 'hat the Magistrates were then employed in
Lr nistering the Oaths of Allegiance to the People ;
n Tuesday we stated, on the authority of a
1---:•ivate Letter, upon which we • knew we could
,lace the most perfet reliance, that he had been
proclaimed on the zoth ; that his Brothers Jose PH
and Louis had been declared Princes of the
Blood ; and that the Senate bad waited upon
their Imperial Majesties with Addresses of Con.
gratulation. It is with the greatest pride and
satisfaetion we now add, that every part of the
intelligence we were exclusively enabled thus
early to communicate, is confirmed by the Paris
Papers, which we received yesterday to the 22d
ult. The Senatus Co/nu/turn which confers the
Imperial dignity on BONAPARTE, was decreed
in the Senate on the t9th, after which the Sena-
tors repaired in a body to Sr. Cloud, where the
President, CANtansc saes, informed His Imperial
Majesty of, the dignity which had been conferred
upon him. The Emperor returned a very gracious
Answer, and assured the Senators, with great gra.
vity, that " his spirit should cease to be present
with his posterity, whenever they ceased to deserve
the love and confidence of the Great Nation."—
The Senators having received this promise of post.
hutnous protdlion with becoming gratitude, had the
honour of being admitted to the presence of the
Emprers, where a similar ceremony was performed.
cAMBACER ES, in order to justify this extraordinary
measure, represents France as being reduced to the
brink of destruttion, from which it was saved by
the miracles performed by BONAPARTE. His services
to the SS,tate are blazoned forth with great eloquence,
particularly his zeal for Religion ; bur there is no
allusion whatever to his famous Egyptian Proclaim.
;inn, in which he boasts of his efforts for the destruc-
tion of Christianity, and professes his sincere belief
in the Tenets of the Coran.

On the zoth BONAf!AR'rg was proclaimed Ern
peror in Paris.

Such is the end of what was called the Repub..
lican Constitution of France, which is now repre-
sented to have been only an experiment. This
experiment, which cost so many hundred thousand
lives, and prod iced scenes of horror unprecedented
in the civilized world, has not been found to.
