The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, on this
last sum being moved, observed, thrt there were
only a few cases in which the House had defrayed
the expences of such Committees, and that the
precedents for such votes ought to be very cau-
tiously adopted.

presented to the Prince Regent, praying tha a
sum not exceedihg 20001. should be issued by his
Royal Highness to dettay Ole expences of wit-
nesses attending the Committee on the Svoteh
Boroughs, and that the House would make good
the stun.

Mr. LONG observed, that the House could
hardly be exl►ected to agree to this vote, as it bud
no weans of judging how far it was necessary or

reasoi►able.

Mr. Hume said, he made the motion in the ab-
sence of the Noble Chairtnin of the Conomitiee
(Lord A. Hamilton), and that hr understood the
Chancellor of the Exchequer did not object to it.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that
as the witnesses in question had been summoned
from a great dist:nice, dud put to considerable ex-
pence, and as they were examined on public
grounds, and not merely to prove the allegations
of their own petitions, he did not object to this

motion.
Mr. BATHURST remarked on the danger of esta-
blishing precedents for such votes, and thought
some rule ought

employing ,elicitors on Committees, and then
eonring- to the House for remuneration, was• likely

cessary expence had been occasioned by biinging
witnesses from great distance, who wet e only
ask, d ne or two It aline; questions.
Atter a tew words horn Mr. Douglas and Mr.
J. I'. Grant, the.motion as agreed

EMIGRATION.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, lie
rose for the purpose of proposing to the House
a Grant, to be appopriat emi to an experiment
which be thought must appear to the House, tin-
der the present circumstances of the country, to
be very desirable. in the state of our population
there was so great a number of persons %% holly
destitute of the means of subsistence from the
want of employment, and who might he disposed
to emigration ; that it seemed advisable that some
facilities should be afforded to them by the Go-
vernment, to enable them to establish th,mselees
with the prospect of considerable advantage in
the colonies of time country. The attention of
those who were disposed to emigration had been
principally directed to Canada and the !Jolted
States of America. But it appeared to his Majesty's
Government, that time Cape of GOod Hope afforded
extraordinary advantages to emigration. Those
who went to Canada or the United Suers re-
claire(' a considerable capital to enable them to
subsist t.ll they had the means of preparing the
earth for the put poses of agriculture. But at the
Cape of Good Hope, from the rare excellence of
the soil and climate, an emigrant was able to settle
with much less expellee than in any other colony_
It vas particularly adapted for flocks and herds,
front the richness of time pasture. At one station
(Saldanii Bay as we understand), a settlement
had already been made, and a town built, under
the most favourable auspices. He would not
enter into a detail of the various regulations which
it was intended to adopt on this subject, as expe-
rience ditected improvements in the arrangements
which would be made from time to time. Direc-
tions had in the mean time been issued to the
Secretary of State to give information to persoes
desirous of emigrating to this quarter, of the faci-
lities which it was intended to afford to them.—
A free passage to the colony was to be given ;
but as it was indispetisible that every emigrant
should have a small sum of money to enable him
to defray the first expences of settling, in order
that this might be secured, each person who de-
sired to have a free passage must deposit a small
stun at the Secretary of State's Office, to be re-
paid on landing at the. Cape. Persons who might
choose to avail themselves of this advantage,
would settle there with the most advantageous
prospects. He concluded by moving an Address
to the Prince Regent, praying that his Royal
Highness might give directions that a sum not
exceeding 50,000/. should be placed at the dis.
posal of the Secretary of State for the Colonies,
for the purpose of affording facilities to persons
desirous of emigrating to the Cape of Gootl Hope.
Mr. Home thought this was not going tar
enough. Parishes ought to be compelled to sob.
scribe for time purpose of conveying to the Co-
lonies all their able bodied men who were now a
