WEDNESDAY, Apitn. 6.
t House resolved itsalfiiito a Committee of Pri.
-alleges, and Lord WALSINOHAM having taken the-
Chair, the consideration of the Claim of the Rev.
Mr. Brydges, to. the BarOoy of Chandos, was re-
sumed; Mr. ATTORNEY GENERAL was further
• hearifon behalf of ave.:CIO-ism, and Mr. ToWNsE ND,
of the Herald's Office, gave evidence' at the Bar
with respea to spine points which bad been advert.
• cd to, in the course of the arguments of the Learn-
ed Counsel, &c. • The further consideration of the
a
- case was then deferred till this day fortnight.
The House then resumed, and after prayers were
tend,' their Lordships proceeded
,to' forward the
Bills upon the Tahlei the,' greater part of •these
standing for third readings, they were read and
, •
. passed accordingly.
• Lord' HOBART illaned'thC third reading of die
itilifitia Officer's Bill, •
The Earl of RADNOR took the opportunity to
propose some slight Amendments in certain parts
of the Bpi, which were agrees to by ,the House.
• The Bill being read a third :time,
7he Ead of k A DNO R rose to propose the in-
trodualon of 'a' Clause by , way .of. Rider to the
Bill, the particulars of which he stated to their
Lordships, but the ,Icading efFet he described,
• mould be to restore the command of those Companies
so' the Field-Officers of the Militia Corps, of
which, by the regulations. not, long since adopted,
they < were depriyed, but which were still held
by Officers of corresponding rank in Regiments of
the Line. In mmunenaing the Clause to the
adoption of she House,' his Lordship recapitulated
some of his fotiner observations en the proceedings
with respe6 'to• the Militia,, and urged, that he.
sides rending, so far, to restore the Militia to its
original constitutional principle, it would diminish
the difficulty of finding Officers properly qualified,
by lessening the number of Capiiins in each Corps.
The Noble ,Earl also made some observations with
respect. to the subordinate parts of the Clause, 'and
concluded by regularly inOving for its adoption.
Lod 11013.4 RT felt himself called upon, under
Art present circumstances, to resift the adoption
of the propOsed Clause. Tn the first placie, he
served, it would direly controvert a Legislative
provision made in the last Session of Parliament,
fay which that alteration, proposed after a due consi-
:4leration of the point, was deemed advisable. Of the
effeet of that regulation, which he thought likely to
- be aevantageous, they had not yet had an opportunity
Pfexperixneing, and he was of opinion that, at least,'
Such an opportunity should be, given. Nqr ,was
'this* the only objection he-entertained against the
claase ; it would go, in•a great degree, w render
inalcacidus one ditheleading provisions of the Bill
itself, as it would so far give a greater latitude to
the poiwer of the Lord Lieutenants in these respells,
than was Lin the contemplation of the Bill. The.
Noble Ste ETARY here described the effect and in-
tention: of that part of the Bill ro which he alluded,
and hiving. argumentatively,. infOrced the above
points, conelltao-1-iy-Obser.Vrtig, he kit it tilsllc,ty sa

earl SP4NCER deli vered.his sentiments on the
question at some length, in the course .of whi4
he explitiated,on the importance 'of the Militia as a
'Constitutional Defensive Force, and expressed his.
regret at the alterations which had been lately made
in that system. He thought the Bill before the
douse, in chat point of view, one of considerable
ampOrtanee, and with reipeet to it, he must observe,
Oa no case of necessity for it had been made out
by Mintstcrs, which' he thought should have been
done before they 'could be justified calling upon
/1?e Legisliture to adopt provisions so contradictc4.
to the Constitutional principler4f the Militia as
• origimilly•establiihed. On these general grounds,
be was inclined to support the proposition of • the
Noble Earl, whose particular observations 'in re.
commendation of the Clause his Lot-MOP. also in. ,

forced.
The question was then put, the ,proposed clause
was reje4ed, and the Bill read a. third time and
pa4seil, and a motile sent to acquaint the Com-
mons therewith. -
The Exchequer Bills Bill, and Sir jnettii Situ.
PAREZ.S A‘lrotlitY Bill, were both read a second
rime, and ordered to be committed to.morrow.
Mr. AGEXANDtR and others brought up from
the ConiMons.the American Loyalists Conmissioners

Three private Bills- were presented by Lord
WlLetAtst Russf.t.z., arid read a hest time.
The Order being read for their Lordships going
into a Committee on the Bill introduced by. the
of RAPNOR, for the more effeaual relief of
Wounded Soldiers and Sailors on their, discharge,
t&c.; the leading provision of which Was to facili.
torte the conveyance of such persons to the places of
their -legal settlement, the Noble-Lord stated his
intention to propose to defer that stage of the
.Bill.
FrOin what we could coiled from the observations of
his Lordship. his intention was to extend, as well
as to ameliorate, the provisions of the Bill. He
stated a ease of extreme hardship, which occurred
with respea to the wife of a Soldier, and which
seemed to induce him to the present proceeding.
LORD CHANCELLOR said a few words
on die occasion. He appeared to concur in what
fell from the Noble Earl, and adverted generally to
the case cited by him,
.Which he deemed a matter
worthy of the most serious consideration.
The Committee Or) the Bill was then deferred till
that day three weeks.
Mr. REYNOLus presented several Papers from the
Court of Chancery in Ireland, relative to the peed_•
jog Appeal of D'Arcy and Irvin y. D'Arcy.
Some private busines was then disposed of ; after
which their Lordships adjourned till w-morrow,

TilE CLERGY NON-RESIDENCE BILL.

Sir WM. SCOTT addressed the House in an ele-
gant and impressive Speech, on the nature of the Bill
he meant to offer to the consideration of Paella.
ment. He said it was not his intention to trespass
on the House any length of time, as the subje& had
undergone much discussion at various times; but
he.considered it necessary to. observe,' that ever
since the establishment of Religion in this Country,
there were existing Laws which regulated
the National Church, and these Laws possessed
considerable merit, and evinced the wisdom
of those Legislators who framed them, and
which enforced the Clergy to give the stridesvat_
tention to the duties of the Church, as well as al-
lowing a certain provision to render her members
every resped comfortable. But 'these antient
Laws harlfor centuries laid dormant : there were
also several Afis of a more recent date : in Lord
Bacon's time, Laws were framed for the regulation
of the Clergy ; the letter and spirit of them were
nearly the same as those of an anterior date, but
which had also lain dormant till within these five
years, since which time they have been brought
into use, and he was sorry to say, to the injury of
many worthy men. Among the members 'of the
Church of England, he had to contemplate with
pleasure, many charaders who' were the highest
honour to the-Nation. Men of_sirnple.lialits, amiable
disposition, and laborious' life, who were liable to
feel the effea of ooe of these old Statutes, and who
would rather redeem themselves with money than
suffer the exposure which, an intOrmation, founded
.on the Aft of f-hNlt y VIII. would enforce. Not wl th.
standing it was his wish that some measure sh6uld be
adopted to make the Clergy attentive to the duties of
the Church.—As the Laws stood at present,'relative
to the duty-of Clergymen; they doubtless Contained
.much defect; and it was high time to do what my
Lord Coke had recommended !above a hUndred and
fifty years ago, that was; to revise the Statutes ap-
plicable to the regulations of the Church. By the
advice of his friends he had undertaken to give this
Alibied serious consideration, and it would give
him considerable pleasure, if he could serve ale_
spektable class of men, consistent with the safety of
slut- /1/1 4.4 ty- -of the-Coasters. On
former occasion,' when this sUbjed was discussed,
he had expresied hiswish that time should be given
to kliberate on the Bill then before the Honsi,
but every Member must recoiled what a mob
of .Bills rushed through the House, in the last
agony of passing; yet he did. not expea that
the former Bill would have been one of them.—
With. resped to the present Bill, he would inform
the House explicitly, that it is fundamentally the
Same as the former Bill. Thy Bill lie was about
to submit to the wisdom of the House, contained
an exemption to several persons is whether this was
right he would leaie to the House to decide.—He
had not made any provision for the Parochial
Clergy, not but it would-be right to do so, but
he thought it ought to come from another quarter.
It was his wish, that the Parsonage-houses should he
put in'proper repair for the reception of their proper
inhabitants : from the great decay these dwellings
had been suffered to go into many Clergymen '.here
'under the necessiry'of residing at a great distance
from their duty.- A, to those Benefices to which
there is nolion3e attached, some provision ought to be
made to 'render the Clergy more comfortable. Witif
respect, 'said the. Learned Gentleman, to the small
Benefices, somejhing has been done by • Mr,
but he thought. it had not gone fir
enough to be of real service to this Qrder of the
Clergy. The method he should propose would be,
that Governincot should advance a large sum of
money, as a Fund, to mend the stipends. of Curates ;
this he thought necessary for the better support of'
those numerous, worthy, laborious men, on whoM-
the Religion and. Morality of the Country much de-
pended. He would not wound the feelings of the
Hone, by any recital of the gloomy stories which had
been communicated to him, of the extreme disteess
these Gehtlemen have suffered since the Aft of
HENRY VIII. has been put, in force,, as it has been
the means of their losing those livings which just
gave. them' bread. The letters he had received
from Clergymen of this. description, who are now in
the greatest of misery, affeted his mind much; he
therefore hoped some measure would be adopted by
the wisdoin of Parliament to relieve their necetsities.
The alteration of'Queen Anne's AO has made some
progress to relieve the evil of small benefices, and
it would beia matter of future consideration, whether
it would not be better to consolidate Queen Anne's
bounty for the advantage of small livings. He had not
made any provision for the sister church, if that
might be called ,the sister
.church which was identi.
Catty the same. The Learned Member said he had
nothing farther to observe at present on the Bill;
bet be
,hoped, that it might go through a Commit.
tee after the Recess, as it possibly may he better
regulated in a Committee than on a first reading..
If, on the, perusal of the Bill, the House should ex
press their satisfatlion, he should be happy that he
had been the means of rendering act effec=tual set vice
to a large and valuable, body of Gentlemen, with
have been much disturbed within these few years,
by the Letter of an old An of Parliament:—
But if the Biii should be (mind, by the good vokie
of the House, not to answer the Uncoiled purpo•e,
he should be one of the first to relinqui.,l) it. Ile,
however, hoped, that it would be baud Gilculated

to amulet' every purpose for which it was designed,
rhert-fore he should, move for leave to bring in a
Bill Hr preventing Spiritual Persons from holding
Faring, and to enforce their, residence on their Be.

nefices.

Sir WM. SCOTT, Dodor LAWRENCE, the MA.
smt of the RoLLs, &c.. were appointed to bring
-in the Bill.
A Meisage from.' the Lords'stated, that they had
agreed to the Southampton Port Bill, the St. Giles's
,Burial Ground Billy the Woolwiehrdnance,Bill,
:the Catholic Bill, and the'lVlilida Offfeer's Bill the;
'.latter of which ha's received several amendments.;
land the Lords desired the concurrence of that House
'to the said amendments.
A new Writ was issued for the eledioti of ti.Vo.
Members fOr the Borough of Berwick upon Tweed.

tee of the whole ['louse, to considet of a Motion
for regulating the Laws now_ in being upon the

Chairman be tlireded to move the House for leave.
to bring in a Bill for iegulating certain Laws rela-
tive to the Woollen Manufadute." • - -
Admiral BERKELEY said a few words, wishing
to know. the Objeds of the Bill.
Mr. BRAGOR thought the Motion at present ra-
ther leis specific than could he wished.
The C ANCELLO of the EXCHEQUER oh_
served, that his Hon. Friend who brought this mat-
ter forward might perhaps think it right, under these
circumstances, to withdraw the present Want), in
order to be ready to-morrow to state to the'House
what 'Ads, awl what parts of different MIS of Par-
liam.mr, in force upop the subjeft of the Wool-
len Manufafture, it was his 'objet to repeal, or to
amend *or regulate, in order that the House might
be at once apprized 0r the ,full, extent of his ()hien.
To 'which Mr. DICKENSON assented,
.and =moved,
That the Chairman aka report progress, and ask
leave tcysit again: ; which was granted accordingly.
"The Order of the Day being moved, for the
House to.resolve itself into a Committee of Supply,
Mr. TI ERNE V moved, " -That the Petition of ,
Geo. Martin the younger, Esq. be. referred
.to7tlte
said Committee."—Ordered..
Mr. CoRRY moved,"'That the several Estimates
presented yesterday, .respeding the Pay and Cloath,
ing of the Militia of Ireland, &c, be referred to the
said Committee.—Ordered.
The House having accordingly resolved itself
into. a Committee,of the 'whole House, to consider
of Supply,

Mr. et E RNLI' rose, for the purpose of moving,
That a certain Sum of Money be voted for the use
of Geo. Martin the younger, EA: for the Toss which'
he had .sustained, as an American Loyalist. The
short circumstances of the case were these:, This
Was not the case .of an American Loyalist now pre. :
ferring for the first time claim to Parliament, .
but woo the recewut of n application rriarle to the
Commissioners of American Claims thirteen years
ago. When the final Report of these Cotnrnission- '
ers was made, it was found impossible fur them tO
. carry intro effea his objet, .namely, to allow him •
the sum of 6,6131. which was ascertained to be the:
amount of his loss in consequefice of lila luyal7y to,
this Country in AmericA,
,during' the War and',
troubles there. The amount of the loss was clearly
ascertained, but the Commissioners could not order,
to him the payment of it, on account of a doubt

• - .
which was entertained on one of the Articles of the

American Treaty, whether this loss ought to be
sustained by this Country or bysthe United States
of America, and therefore Mr. Martin was-advised,
to apply to the American States for remuneration
op which he made that applicatiou, hut without cf.'
feet. Ueon this case Mr. Martin was entitled to
the attention of the 'Committee, for he had clearly,
• sustained 'a loss to the amount of 6,6131. and he had
been kept out of that sum now for thirteen years ;•
. and the only question was, whether this Country
or the United States of Am,:riea ought to remune-
rate him ? That was a 'question depending on the
construelion to be put on an Article in the Treaty
between this country and America. He had done
all he could to.obrain it of the United States, but
without success, nor was it indeed likely that the
Americans would go out of their way to remunerate
a person who' had been so aBive in his endeavours
to prevent them from obtaining their Independence :
he had therefore failed in .his application to them,
nor was it any'wonder. In this situation, unless
the money was voted to him by a Committee of the
House, his life might be consumed in the litigation
of ascertaining who was to pay to him that which
was due. When this Gentleman returned from his

fruitless. journey to Americo, he applied to the Go-
vernment of thii Country, who concluded themselvii
with liberality to him ; but they could not pay him

the money without a- vote of Parliament ; and now
he comes with his case before the Committee, which
was indeed an appeal at once to the Justice and to
the Humanity of the House: Tithe money now due
to this Gentleman should be voted, the qwestion of
right, who ought ultimately to bear the expence.of
it, would not be prejudiced ; for if on discussion it
should be determined that America ought to defray
ir, our Government would have a claim upon the
United States for that amount ; and it would hardly
be said to be sufficient to interrupt or endanger the
good understanding between the two Countries.
But this Gentleman's life might not be long enough
to see the end of the discussion : he had made a

journey to America, and, he had been here waiting
'the event of this case now for thirteen years, and
he now submitted. to the Committee, that.he ought
to be paid the amount of this loss, with simple in.
serest forrthe,amount• of it, without any dedutlion
for fees, &c. such as are paid on ordinary Charges,
&c.. Ile therefore moved a Resolution,
