• CHACE'S RELIEF BILL.

The third reading of Chace's Relief B:11 was
moved by the Lord Viscount TORRINGTON. (The
object of this Bill is to allow the parties mention-
ed to prove before the Carnatic Commissioners,
as a debt of the late Nabob of Arcot, a sum of
money advanced to this Nabob for the purpose of
paying his kiss into the East India Compauy's
Treasury, by Messrs. Chace and Co. at Madras,
in the year 1798. subsequent to the passing of the
Act of the 37th Geo. 111. prohibiting British sub-
jects from making loans to the native Princes.)
His Lordship contended, in support of the Bills
that the money at the time it was advanced wits
essential for the purpose of putting the army in
motion, and that it was so advanced with the
knowledge of some of the Members of tbe
Go-
vernment of Madras, the Act of the 37th Geo. 111.
not having then pioinolgated in India.
The Duke of WELLINGTON, without opposing
the Bill generally, objected to some•words in the
preamble, stating the knowledge on the part' of
some of the Members of the Government in India
of this loan to the Nabob, and which be consi-
dered as conveying a reflection on the Members
of the Government that was not sanctioned• by the
evidence before the Committee.•

The Earl of LINTERFooI. considered the preamble,
as it stood, as the only justification of the Bill,
which, it that was 'falsified, he must, upon general
principle's, oppose.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE thought it was proved
in evidence, that some of the Members of the
Government knew of this loan at the time, and
upon the specialties of the case, he was in favour
of the Bill.

The Dukeof WELLINGTON, in explanation, con-
tended, that tbongh the transaction might be,
and was known in conversation, yet it was not
knowp to the Members of the Government, so
that they could take official notice of it. His
Grace further maintained, that the Act of the 37th
Ueo. 111. was sufficiently known before the tran-
saction in question took place. . .

Lord Viscount TORR I N GTON maintained, on
the other hand, that there had been no sufficient
promulgation of the Act previous to the transac-
tion to which the Bill referred.

The Eul of Fowls stated, that the Members of
the Government at the time were unacquainted
with the transaction. His Lordship (who spoke
in a very low.tone of voice), as we understood,
opposed the Bill.
The Earl of WESTMORLAND and the LORD
CHANCELLOR said a few worth in favour of the
Bill.

The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, be would not
take the sense of the House on the third reading,
in order to afford an apportunity of coming to a
decision on the amendments proposed by the
Noble Duke ; but he would press for a divi:iion
the question that the Bill do pass.
Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, when
we understand tbat the Duke of Wellington's
amendments were carried, the first by a majority
of 21 to 20; the second by a majority of 22 to '2O.
A division also took place on the question for
the passing of the Bill, in which the numbers

.Niajority in favour of the

FOREIGN ENI.NNIENT BILL.

On strangers b,,ing re-admitted, the Marquess
of LANSDOWNE was found on his legs, complain-
ing that the Foreign Enlistment Bill had been al-
ready reported, th,nigh an understanding had been
entered into that amendments might be proposed
on the bringing up of the Report.

The Earl-or LiVERPOOL declared himself Nviil-
ing that the Bill should be recommitted, to afford
an opportunity for the proposal of acy amend-
ment.—The Bili was then recommit:ed.

The Earl of Ros'sLYN objected to Pi claus9
trhich empowers Custom-house Officers to detain
vessels on receiving information that there tvere
persons on board going abroad vvi:h au iuzeu-
tion to enlist. Tbe disadvantage of such a clnu
in this commercial country was so great, that he
could only account for its admi,...sion into the Bit'
by supposing it was thiough inadvertence.
BATnutter defended the clause.

Tile Mat citie!h, Of liAtisnowNe conteuded, that
some Overt Act ought to be proved against the
perilous charged, in order to' justify their de-
tention.

The Earl of LtvEnroot. maintained, that un-
der the clause, as it stood, such a proof was re-
quired
; but lie thought it would be too•much to
acquire, that the officer should prove the actual
agreement; it was and onght to be sufficient, that
he should prove the intent.
Lord Iiot.LAND observed, that the Bill now he.
fore the Committee went beyond the provisions
of the other Acts in this respect ; for the Overt
Act requited to he proved by these laws, was con-
sidered too _difficult of proof, and the way in
which this Bill proposed to get out of the

itit;ty, was by making the proof of the mere clr-
run,stunCe of going an adegnate ground of de.
tentinn. It the hilt Was really intended to re.
tioire turther proof, it onalit to have been so
fr4med as to express that intention, which, in its
present shape, it did not
'After a few words from the Earl of Carn irvon,
.11 Bathurst, and Lard Holland, the clause was
oiftrr,d to remain part of the Bill.
Lord HoLLAND objected to another clause which
involvtd the same provision. He maintained,
that the intent should hr proved, in order to
-jostity the detention of vessels, and moved an
amendment to that effect, upon which a division

took 1.1..ce-

A long discussion took place on oilier clauses,
;viten several amendments were introduced and
agreed to. The Report was then brought up,
and the Bill ordered to be read a third time to-

1171/I'lo N.

The Earl of LIVERPOOL then stated, that it was
with low h pleasure he had now to communicate
to their Lordships. that an act of grace had been
Franted by ;he Prince Regent, to do way-1 he
etlects of the attainder passed against Lord Ed-
ward Fitzgerald, so far as his rbildren were con-
cerned, One of them; Edward Fox Fitzgerald,
had served his country honourably, and their
Lordships, he had no doubt, would willingly agree
to remove fiom him and his sister the effects of
the attainder. It was nece,sitry for a Bill to he
introduc<il to carry the act of grace into effect,
and he could assure their Lordships, that nothing
could haye been more gratifying to the Illustrious
Personage with whom this act original ed, 1113"
to hive promoted it. For himself, as the advo-
cate in this cause, it gave him much pleasure to
do s act in favour of these innocent and un-
cbaracters, and he was the more, satis-
fied of the propriety of the measure, when it was
recollected, first, that the individual against whom
the attainder issued, h+d never been brought to
a fair trial, and, secondly, that the act of attainder
itself had not passed till seven months after his
decease.. Ile should not detain their Lordships
longer than by moving, that the Bill now in his
hand he rend a first time.
The Duke of WELLINGTON felt it his duty on

the present occasion to siate, that the individual
' alluded to by his Noble Friend had served tinder
him in the Peninsula, and had uniformly given
Lim the highest satisfaction by his conduct and
yoble behaviour.
Lord HOLLAND expressed his highest satisfae-
tion with the measure now proposed by the Noble
Earl, and he felt much delight at its having been
. sanctioned by die Prince Regent. It had gene-
rally heco his lot to differ in public measures from
the Noble Earl, but he trusted such difference had
.not in the least weakened or diminished that prime
vate friendship which had subsisted between them
—(hm., bear !)--Na act whatever cvuid have
given him more satisfaction, either as a public or
• private character, than the one now introduced ;
lie therefore, with heartfelt gratitude, return.
rd his warmest ackaowledgments to the Noble
Earl for recommrnding this measure to the
Throne —(llear, hear, hear !)--as well as for
the disinterested and noble manner in which it
was brought forward by the other side.
The 13111 was then read a first time, and ordered
to be read' a second time to-11)01-r°
