The E.trl of D A RN LEY wished zo know, whether

it Was ia the icontemplatinh of the confidential ad- .
visors of his Rnal Highness t!lt Prince Regent to .
recommend an application to Parliament, for Vie pur-
po:e of making • an adequate provision in order to
enable that treat and distinguished Commander, the
Duke of Weilingtr.n, to support the high rank to
which, in conformity to the sentiments of the whole
British Empire, *he had recently been .advanced.—
He had heard from report, that Ministers had fecom.
mended an addition to his pension. But he took that
opportunity of entering Ins protest against such a
mode. A domain provided by Parliament appeared
to him a much more Suitable testimony of the na-
tional feeling and gratitude, and such domain, s. ten
a magnificent house erected on it, to be settled ori
the Duke of Wellington and his heiry.
The Earl of LivEitroob observed, that he
shintld probably, by command of the Prince Regen
present to their Lordships tn-morrow. or on some
other early day, a message relative to the subject
alluded to by the Noble Lorde
NORWAY.

Earl GREY.-.Seeing the Noble Earl at the he. 4
cf the Treasury now in the House, he wished to .i.k
him a question with regard toNorw.y, by the answer
to whico his own conduct must be regulated, as lb
any proposition which he might ha's intended to
bring forward on that subject. He understood that
4 commission had been sent to Copenhagen and to
Norway, with a view to an amicable adjustment of
those disputes which prevailed in regard to the future
condition of Norway. What he wished to ascertain
was this—whether it was a sine qua on of the propo.
sition to be made by these' Commissioners, that Nor.
way should be united to Sweden 1 or whether they
had it in their power to propose or agree to any other
alternative, in the event IA N-wway being determined
to .resist this annexation and maintain its indepen.
deuce? This general question he conceived the
Noble Earl rwght answer, though he was.awaie that
caution ought to be used in answering questions on a
subject with respect to which a negocittion *as
pending. He was sensible that great caution and
delicacy ought to be used in agitating subjects in
which stood in such a situation. But the
question as to the necessity or proptiety of interfere
ence on the part of that House, would be very mace•
rially affected by the answer which might be givens
as to whether the annexation of Norway to Sweden
was to be a sine qua non in the negociation, or whether
the Commissioners were empowered to offer or as. .
cede to any other alternative in case Norway wets 41
determined on resistance
The Earl of LIVER.POOL—The Noble East
must be well aware that it might be attended with
very greill inconvenience to answer questions which
might be put on subjects with respect to which nego•
ciations were pending for an amicable arrangements
and there was, perhaps, no point upon which it was
more proper to avoid giving any answer under such
circumstances than upon the question what was or
what was not a sins qua non in the instructions of the
person employed en such a missi.m? He could there.
tore only answer, that Commissioners had been sent
on the part of the. Allied Powers, of whom Gnat
Britain was one, to Copenhagen and to Norway, with
a View to an amicable arrangement. As to the agi-
tation of the subject in Parliament pending that Ne.
gociation, he could only state his opinion, that under
such circumstances any discussion of the kind muse
be rather embarrassing than otherwise. At the same
time he did not presume to point out to the Noble
Earl what line of conduct he ought to adopt. His
Lordship must decide that poict for hiaiseh, opal
his view of the subject as it now stood.
Lord HOLLAND.—It was not at all surprising
that the Noble Earl should give it as his opinion that
the discussion of the question would be rather embar-
riping than otherwise, as it was not to be expected
that in the situation in which the Noble Eitel stood
he should give any other opinion on such a question.
But at the same time he saw no reason why the ge.
neral question which had been put should not be
answered ; and if not answered, it appeared to him
that his Noble Friend ought to persevere in submit•
tin his proposition on
subject to the House.
Earl GREY.—He found himself by the coarse
to the agi.
ces. He was aware on the one hang
delicacy which ought to prevail

tating of questions in Parliament, where it mishi`be
objected that the discussion might have an injurious
effect on a pending negociation. On the otherhand,
supposing the fact to be that it was a sine
with Sweden,
a measure which Norway was now preparing to resist
under the pressure of famine and starvation, it would
be an abandonment of duty, both to the people of
Norway and the people of this country, to delay
bringing the question before Parliament. Upon the
whole, therctore, his present inclination was to perse-
vere in his intention of submitting to their Lordships
a proposition upon this subject on Tuesday next ;
and in justification of himself he stated, that it ap-
pe4red from the best authority (a note given in by
the Swedish Envoy himself) that it was the fixed
purpose of the fillies not to dispense upon any terms
with the annexation of Norway to Sweden.

SLAVE TRADE.
Lord GRENVILLE rose, pursuant to the notice,
which he had given, to move that an humble Ad-
dress be presented to his Royal Highness the Prince
Regent, requesting that he would exert the high in-1
Buenc.e •wh;ch he possessed with his illustrious and
"rear Allies-to put a speedy, effectual, and final end
tne Slave Trade. His Lordship, in a most elo-
q •Ikt -and argumentative speech, expatiated on all
''orrers and evils attending the prosecution of that
ne traffic, observing with deep regret that it
was still continued by Spain and Portugal, aqd by
English subjects nnder the countenance of foreign
&gem His Lordship read a passage from a late edict
issued by the Government of Portugal in the Brazils,
by which it appeared, that contrary to stipulation
and agreement, that Government not only did riot
endeavour to suppress the hateful trade, but were
actually taking measures to increase and extend it...-
He strongly urged the propriety of procuring from
all the Allied Powers, an united declaration of their
abhorrence of the Slave Trade, and of their resolu-
tion to put an effectual stop to it, even though they
should be compelled to use force for that purpose.
. The Address was then read by the LORD CHAN-
CELLOR, and ordered to be presented nemine disientiente.
Their Lordships then adjourned.

C 031.1 LAWS. a
Sir H. PARNELL moved the reading of the Or-
der of the Day for resuming the adjourned debate on
the Corn Laws.
Mr. PROTHEROE appealed to the fairness and
candour of the Honourable Baronet whether it was
proper to bring on the subject for discussion that
evening, (a subject the issue of which was neither
more nor lea than to fix the price of the bread of the
people of England) when the Resolutions which were
to aie discussed, and which were to have been printed
and delivered to Members on Tuesday, were put into
their hands only on that morning.
Sir H. PARNELL saw no reason whatever for de-
laying the discussion. The Honourable Gentleman
might have had the Resoldtions yesterday, on appli-
cation at the Vote Office. Besides, this as not a
new or difficult subject, but one which had been long
before the House, and which might be comprehended
in all its parts with the greatest facility. He denied
most positively that there was the least intention to
fix the price at which the people of England should
hare their bread.

The debate was then resumed ; the SPEAKER read
;he Resolution on which it had commenced, and
weed that the question was whether or not it should
Deleferred to the consideration of a Committee of the
whale House ?

Mr. ROSE contended that the Report of the Com-
mittee on the Corn Laws was such a one as had
never been proceeded on in Parliament, and that even
that Report did not justify the Resolution proposed
by the Honourable Baronet, namely, to allow the ex-
portation of corn at all times without duty or re-
straint. The present law restraining the exportation
of corn had been in active operation for near five
centuries. Surely it would not be attempted to re-
peal it without the most mature deliberation and the
Most positive proof of its inexpediency. Such an idea
bad never entered the head even of the Committee of
which the Honourable Baronet had been the Chair-
man, and who in their Report had merely recom-
sounded, nat. its repeal, but its regulation. From this
Report, however, it appeared that the Committee had
been exclusively solicitous for the interest of the
grower of corn, and ,hat the interest of the consumer
bad been forgotten by them altogether. The Report
abounded with errors and snis-statements. „It de.
elated that the Committee. had .carefully examined
the laws on the subject, when the fact was, that of
Wo or LSO Acts of Parliament, upwards of 00 of
which were on the Statute-book, and. above 30 ofl
them of great importance. they had enquired only,

into seven ; and with respect to one of these they had
committed a most egregious blunder, for they de-
scribed the 'Act of the 15th.of Charles 11. chap. 7, as
an Act which had contributed more to tillage and to
the freedom of commerce of torn than any other Act
on the Statute-book, when the fact, as stated in a Re-
port of the Privy Council, was directly the contrary,
namely, that it was passed for the express purpose of
prohibiting .that commerce. In this Report of the
PriVY Council it was recommended that the law
should be repealed, and repealed it was accordingly ;
and yet it isad been the subject of the culogium of the
Committee ! The comparative statement of the prices
of corn was erroneous from beginning to end. There
was a fallacy also in the reference by the Committee
to the year 1765, as involving a change of system.—
There had been no change till 1773. The Committee
stated, however, that until 1765 this had been an ex-
porting country, and that since 1765 it had been an
importing country. That was not the fact. The
fact was, that since 1773 there had been fifteen ex-
porting years, live years in which the exports and im-
ports had been equal, and only nine years which had
been crooning. The price of corn, too, the Commit-
tee declared had been progressively increasing from
the
,period alluded to. Astonishing assertion ! The
fact was that in 1794—that was in '2O years after the,
change of system, corn was 15s. a quarter lower than
in 1774 ! Mr. Rose then read a part of the Report,,
in which the Committee on the subject of exportation,
said, that it ought to be allowed when pricer were rat
very high. Even here the Committee did not talk of
exportation unless when prices .were not high. The
next part of the which he came to, referred to
the importation7flolotr, on which, as they were not
then calleclon to discuss it, he would not say -much.
He could not refrain from expressing his extreme sur-
prise, that the Committee should have proposed any
measure so monstrous, as the total prevention of im-
porting flour: It was well known that the importa-
tion of American flour was one of .the greate't re-
sources of the country in cases of scarcity; yet the only
cause assigned by. the Committee for stopping this,
was to encourage our own millers.—(Here the Right
Hon. Gentleman threw the Report from him with sucn a
ludkrout expression of contempt as moved the laughter of the
House.)—The Right Honourable Gentleman then
proceeded to examine, and comment upon the evi-
dence, as quoted in the Report; particularly those
parts which related to the prices of flour said to be
a proper average for Ireland. One person had
said that forty-two shillings a barrel was a fair ex-
port price,.which be (Mr. Rose) considered to be
eqpal to 70s. for our quarter of corn. The price in
the Papers on the Table was 841. as the proposed
average, which makes a diffetence of 6s. per quarter;
the English average being 98s. and the Irish 70s
Thus the evidence of the lion. Baronet's own wit-
nesses went to thew the necessity of keeping the sub-
ject on the ground on which it now stands. Another
witness, Mr. Grierson, had stated the proper price to
be 50s. a barrel ; this was considerably below the
Hon. Baronet's estimate ; but they all concurred in
this one point, that the agriculture of the country was
not so productive as it might be made. He trusted
that he should be able to make himself intelligible.—
But his chief object was, to impress upon the House
the necessity of giving the important subject the ut-
most deliberation, and to be assured that they were'
well informed upon it, in all its bearings. He
should not go out of die way in quest of illus-
trations of his own opinion ;.--..but he could not re-
frain from quoting the words of a Gentleman, now
no longer a Member of that House, who would de-
cidedly support him in the views be entertained.
—lt was not surprising, that after that period the
peculiar circumstances of the' times, and the diffi-
culty of getting corn front abroad, materially in-
creased the price. After adverting to the opinions of
that zealous agriculturalist, Mr. Cornet), he (Mr.
Rose) declared his own to be, that corn ought to be
at such a price as to afford a fair protection to the
landholder and farmer, and at the same time to en-
sure to the consumer a full supply upon fair and mo-
derate terms. To effect this some new regulations
might be desirable ; but these ought to be adopted
with great caution, and not until after mature deli-
beration. For instance, it might be 'expedient to
change the present regulations as connected with the
returns, which returns were made every three months,
so that it sometimes happened that corn sent for by
our merchants to Dantzic and Bremen and brought
down to those ports from the warehouses of the corn
growers in Poland, could not by possibility be brought
to England within the three months. It might be
advisable also to abolish the regulation restricting the
importation in British ships, and to admit of its being
so imported in vessels belonging to any power in
amity with Great Britain. Another ample mode, of
supply to this country would be from the Black Sea,
into which corn was brought down by the various
rivers which flowed into it. All these were fit sub-
, jeers for consideration, for in his opinion the diminu...
tion of the price cf bread was a matter of most seri.
ous interest. To what were the immense existing
poor rates attributable, but to the enormous price of
bread. The poor rates were certainly six—he verily
believed they were not less than seven or eight mil-
lions; and it was well known that the allowances to
paupers were regulated by the existing price of bread.
A number of circumstances, not adverted to by the
Committee in their Report, had increased the price of
corn in this country. Among these were the increase
of population (a million and a half within the last ten
years), and a change in the usages of many persons
who '2O ye .rs ago were satisfied with barley meal,
&c. but who now consumed wheat flower. With re.
spect to prices, continued the Right Hon. Gentleman
—from 1787 to 179 k, the quartern loaf fluctuated
from 6d. to 7d. But if the Resolutions of the Ho.
nourable Baronet be adopted, it would make the price
of the quartern loaf 14d. They would be therefore
establishing for all time to come, in so far as de-
pended on Patliament, that bread should never be
lower than 130.—that is double what it was before
the extraordinary circumstances in which the country
was placed after 1794, and which lie hoped would
never occur again. They ought to take a compre.
hensive view at the question. Instead, however, of
doing this, the Honourable Baronet came down with
a string of Resolutions, tine avowed Object of which
was to raise the price of Corn, Before the House at-
tempted to .do- any thing, they ought to make ample
inquiry into the facts necessary to be known ; and he
would therefore submit the propriety of snot proceed-
ing farther in this matter till another CinruiLtee et

the House be appointed. and of postponing the consi.
&ratio% of the measure till the next Session.
Sir HENRY PARNELL was glad of an oppor-
tunity of meeting the Right Hon. Gentleman upon
all the points to which he had adverted in the course
of his speech. The Committee was appointed origi-
nally to consider the corn trade of Ireland only, but
its duties were subsequently enlarged. The Com-
mittee, however, certainly had no such object in view
as that charged by the Right Holt. Gentleman, who
had thought proper, with less penetration, or with
less candour than he should have expected from him,
to overlook the distinction, that althoug h it was in-
tended for the present to keep up the price, the ulti-
mate purpose was to give that encouragement to till-,
age which must terminate in an augmentation of the
supply. If the demand were increased, even artifi.
cially, it must produce an increased supply ; and if
reduced in the same way, the supply would be diffe-
rently but equally affected. If the. Report had been
accurately. understood by the Right Hon. Gentle-
man, he would have seen, that no such thing as a
fixed or permanent price had ever been contemplated
by the Committee: they followed the principle laid
down in the Act of Charles the Second—that of se-
curing a permanent excess of export, and a full sup-
k ply at a moderate price to the consumer. The price
at which .that Act referred was fifty-three shillings,
and under the very different circumstances of die;
present time, it had been the opinion of the Commit-
tee, that one hundred and five shillings was a proper
price to be maintained. He did not mean to say,
that this was the exact or most oopedient price : he
would headily acquiesce in any other that mrht be
supposed by the House snore reasonable.- 'I he re-
straining duty was eighty-four shillings, as recom-
mended by the Committee : if this should appear too
high, as it seemed to appear to the Newcastle Peti-
tioners, he hail no objection to lower it to the extent
of twenty-one shillings. The Right Hon. Gentle-
man had said, that the price of foreign corn must
raise the price of home-grown to its level.--1" No!"
from Mr. Rose.]-11 the Right Hon. Gentleman
had not maintained this, he must abandon his posi-
tion, that the resolutions in the Report must necessa-
rily, if carried into effect, establish a faxed and per-
, raiment price. It had been said, that the first of his
resolutions recommended a free export upon his mere
authority, and without the sanction of the Commit-
tee : so far, however, from being alone in his opi-
nion upon this subject, he knew not one individual
who thought otherwise : the Right Hon. Gentleman
here stood alone against a general and concurrent
persuasion. The prices of 1766 it was of course lift-
possible to procure from the Custom-house books,
and in the absunce of these the Committee had ap-
plied to a work acknowledged to be of the best au
thority, he meant Smith's Tracts. The s) stem esta-
blished inopposition to that of Charles 11. began in
1765, but it was not made permanent till 1773.
This circumstance had been overlooked, by the Right
Han. Gentleman in his account. Before this, there
had been an average excess of export for 68 years.
Since this period there had been an average excess of
import. The inaccuracy. mentioned was a mistake
merely of one year for another, without affecting the
general principle. The tables to which the Commit-
tee had referred, were entitled to as Much attention
as the authority of the Right Hon. Gentleman. By
these tables it appeared (arid their correctness and
authenticity had never been impeached) that the
price in the reign of Charles 11. was 335. 3d. ; from
1700 to 1765, 445. 7d. ; from 176.5 to 178 le 6.55. ;
and since that period, as high-as 883. 11d. •It was
not very fair to tell the House and the Public, that
it was proposed to double the price of the quartern
loaf that prevailed in 1791, omitting altogether the
difference in the value of money. The bullion price
of corn was probably, and would be cheaper than io
1794. This was a subjecr of principle, rather than
of evidence, and if it was acbdlked to be expedient to
restrain importation at all, the means of doing so
could not be difficult. If the prices of cora in Eng-
land were on a par with those in other countries,
then he should not propose the adoption of any arti-
ficial syst •rn ; but knowing how much industry and
weall'i :tad been devoted to the growing of corn,
especi.,:ly within the last few years, he wished to
avert the effecte that must result from suddenly per-
mitting the. uarestricted importation of that article.
He then examined many of the arguments of Dr.
Adam Smith, contending, that as circumstances had
completely altered since he wrote, his positious were
no longer maintainable as applicable to the present
question ; and he further submitted, that the idea
that the rise in the price of corn would raise the price
of labour, and hence the manufacturers, was quite
groundless. It was an established fact, that the price
of corn followed the price of labour. It was politic
in a State to render itself as independent of foreign
supplies as possible, and his plan would have that
operation.
Mr. ROSE explained. He opposed the Motion
because it went to fix a high price, when it was most
important that it should be low.
Mr. F. LEWIS said, that it was peculiarly the
duty of the House to proceed with caution, when.the.
object of their measures was to protect the interest of
any particular body ; nor indeed in general should
they have any' interest in view but that of the whole
body of the community. In the present instance,
more especially, it behoved them to proceed with
caution, because, among the discontented class of
manufacturers, it was a common subject of complaint,
that the Members of the House of Commons being
chiefly landed proprietors, had in view in the ewer.
rise of their legislative duties their own priv.ite inte-
rests. It was not consistent with justice that any sa-
pifice should be made to one class of men at the ex
pence of all the others; but even if that were intend-
ed to be done, the present proposition carried the
feeds of its destruction within itself, for it WAG pro-
d to raise the price of cora, so the! a stimulus
being afforded to the farmer it might become at last
cheap. It was reasonable then to suppose that when
the cause ceased the effect would cease, and then
things would be brought hack to their present state.
It would be difficult, however, to persuade him that
the real object of the Report was the low price of
corn, while in every page of it a high price was in-
sisted on as the only protection to agriculture.—
(f/ear, hear).—This increase would not even to the
agricultural interest bordiductive of permanent good,

pended on bread corn, lsy an increase in its price the

fore the Committee, after which he observed, that
the principal reasons which had been adduced in sup-
port of the Report, was from the price of corn pre-
viously to to 1753, when the bounty on the upon of
corn existed. But when we considered that the po.
i
pulation of the Island was then but sI millions and
a half, and now was twelve millions and a half, it
would be seen that the present system was more fa-
vourable to the growth of corn than that whiel
for-
merly existed. The slender information before fist'
House was another reason tor hesitation on the sub;
4ect, and the present state of the coin was such, that
it was probable that six months after the conclusion
of peace if the Bank then paid in gold, the quarter Nil
of wheat would be reduced to 545. its present bullion
price, and in that event 60s. would be equivalent
to the 30s. fixed in the scale recommended in the
Report.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER,
complimented the ability and clearness of the last
Speaker, and thought this consideration respecting
the state of the coin of great weight. He observed
that the present state of the exchange, which was 30
per cent. against this country, operated as a duty of
(40 shillings in the quarter on corn imported. Though
he did not approve of all the propositions of the Hon.
Baronet (Sir H. Parnell), yet he thought that the
exportation of all the produce of our agriculture
should be flee and unrestrained ; not that this per.
mission, as he imagined, would be much taken ad-
vantage of, for from our superior wealth, anotthe
consequent high price of labour, we might be very
well conteAt to eat bread no cheaper than our neigh.
boors. The reason why he disapproved of the re-
sent propositions of the Han. Baronet, though he had
approved of them last year, was, that the propositions
themselves were changed, and possessed all the evils
of the present system, which was only prevented from •
being mischievous by being inoperative. According
to the second Resolution, by a slight variation in the
price of Corn, there would be a duty of 20s. in the
quarter imposed on Corn imported, on which the im-
porter could not calculate, and which would render
his speculation ruinous. A graduated scale of duty
would not be open to this objection; and an Amend-
ment to this effect would be proposed by an Hoe,
Friend of his. He should, therefore, support the
motion for a Committee, in which, when the House
had decided on the first Resolution, and the A,mend-
ment to the second, he should propose an adjourn-
ment of the discussion.
Sir J. NEWPORT, in allusion to what had fallen
from a former speaker (Mr. F. Lewis), expressed his
sense of the impropriety of any Member of the House
being induced to deviate from the line which his con-
science pointed out, by any fear of being misrepre-
sented—(Hear.) Any one who was thus operated 03
by external pressure, was unworthy of a seat in the
House—( Hear, hear.)
Mr. F. LEWIS explained. He had not sapposed
such a character belonged to them, burmerely stated.
that it had come to his knowledge such an idea bad,
in some instances, gone abroad.
Sir W. DOUGLAS supported the motion, and the
Report of the Committee. He observed, that the
opinion that the high price of corn raised the price of
manufactures was erroneous, for in the years of scar-
city, manufactured articles had been cheaper ; for in
years of plenty, the workmen, by one day's work,
could provide for their subsistence for several days,
which they devoted to debauchery and idlenesi. It
was essential to the prosperity of our agriculture, that
foreign interference should be cut off. At present we
were dependent for corn on foreign powers, who
might replenish their exhaus.:ed treasures at our ex-
pence, and make the supply of corn a powerful pei*-
tical engine to controul us.
Lord A. HAMILTON opposed the motion, and
observed, that the arguments of the supporters of the
Report were contradictory, because their object was
stated to be to remunerate the farmers by a high price,
while they boasted that the effect of their measures
w..uld be to lower it.
Sir M. RIPLEY opposed the Resolutions, not
merely from a consideration of the injury they would
do to the landed interest, but likewise from the in-
jury they were calculated to Inflict on the commer-
cial interest, which was intimately connected with the
landed.
Sir N. COLTHURST supported the Resolutions
and said, that in every part of the country from which
he came, there existed a deep impression of the ne-
cessity of amending the present state of the corn Laws.
Sir H. PARNELL explained, when the Gallery
was cleared for a division ; but the division did not
take place, and when we returned the House had ree
solved itself into a Committee.
The first Resolution was then put and carried :
" Chat the exportation of Corn, Grain, Meal, ace. from any
are tithe United Kingdom should he permitted et time.,
onnuut the payment of any ditty, and without receiviog any
bu..nty whatever."
Upon the second Resolution.
" That the several duties now payable in raped to all Corn,
Grain, Meal, an/ Flour, imported into the United Kingdom,
should cease and determine ; and that cenain duties, spec.:ied in
au annexed schedule, should be paid in lieu thereof,"
Mr. HUSKISSON rose to move an Amendment,
which he prefaced by pointing out the injurious effects
that were now, and had been produced, by the ope.
ration of the Corn Laws as they at present stood.—
Every great State ought to have two objects in view:
the first, to make itself independent of any other coun-
try for a supply of corn ; the second, to maintain, if
possible, a steady unitermity of price. He agreed
with the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. F. Lewis) that the
prohibition of importation, and the plentiful supply
of corn in the country, though co-existent, were not
necessarily cause and effect of each other. But if they
looked back to the last sixty years, and fund this
country daily getting still more aild more dependent
on other countries for a supply of corn, and the fluc-
tuations of price great in the extreme—if they saw
these things, it must be admitted there were grounds
for supposing there might be something defective in
the present system, and that it is at least proper to
inquire, if the existing laws were wise and salutary
It he proved, that before the present syste.t, was adop-
ted, we had not only a full supply of corn, but that
its fluctuations of price were small (not exceeding
one third)—if this were proved, under a system di-
rectly opposed to the present, why then he made out
.1 181;Ina ficie case.that that which had been aban.
