Mr.Burroti,agrecably to the,notice he had given
on Friday night lA, now rofe to bring forward
his promifed motion for the Houk to take into
confideration the Petitions lying on its table.
praying a further continuance of the prohibition
now wafting againfl the Dißillation of Spirits
from Corn in Great Britain. He therefore moved,
Brfl, that the title of the esilling Alt be pow
read; and alto the titles of the feveral petitions
already before the Houk.—Reed accordingly.
Mr. Burton retooled; and laid, thnt encouraged
by the very candid and liberal declaration of a
Right Honourable Gentleman near him (tie
Chancellor of the Exchequer) on a former night
with refpell to the quellion of opening the Grain
' DißiUeries, the willies he rofe4d to fubmit the
fobjea for the full and deliberate difetalLoe of the
Hoare, and the retainers he avowed to boir with ,•
deference to whatever opinion thould be the re.

a few obfervations preliminary to the motion ha I

barvefi* betides the enormous quantities of foreigw
corn imported under the liberal encouragement
and bounty of the Legiflature, contralted with
that recent, rapid, and fcarcely accountable rift:
on the price of bread corn within the anti few
weeks, was I IlihjeZt which woad at fail to ex-
cite alarm to every than who witnelTed the cala-
mities of the two Lilt years, and who malt now
obferve the rapid approach of firnilar calamities
under the artinces of omen who, he feared, had
but too much concern in aggravating, if not in
caufing, the miferies of the lower orders, within
the period alluded en. Such a fubjeft curtly de-
manded a parliamentary invelligation, and the
application of a remedy, if any lhould be offered
in the courfe of difcullion worthy to by adopted.
Notwithßanding the fentiment which al,mdlt uni-
verfally prevailed through every part of the coun-
try, that the meafure of opening the Corn Dia&
leriss, expeiled to take place on the &It of Janu-
ary 'Sot, was the Me caufe and pretence upon
which the otherwile unaccountable rife of cdtn in
the country was hourly gaining ground ; notwith-
(Landing

communities in every part of the kingdom,
which in endlefs numbers crowded the table, ex-
prefSve of the fame fentiment, and earneilly
deprecating the opening of thofe Diailleries, as
the certain foerce of incalculable mitchicf, yet it
bad been repeatedly and Rrenuoufly contended,
that di, proportion of barley confumed by the
Corn Willer', would not have any fuch opera-
tion, naturally, as an inordinate rife on corn.
But as well from the petitions, without end, al-
ready preanted to the Houle, as from every in-
formation he could derive out of doors, this
growing evil arofe from no other caufe thaft the
mere contemplation-of opening the Corn
Dillil-
leries on the tirfi of neat month. Even the very
fall market day at Oxford, fituated in the midt
of a cora country, and *here marketb regulate

extent, the price of barley rote ss. per quarter
abode its rate at the preceding market day : and
be was :anted by the letters of very refpe4table
earrefpoodents, now in his pocket, that the con-
templation of °peeing the Corn Diaillwies was the
foie wife. Front whatever caufe it really arofe,
the era was admitted ow all handle." atilt ; and
whether it agate from any real deficiency in the
Rock of corn in the country, owing, as had been
alt, to the abundance of the late harvett being
drawn upon to fupply the defedts of
the firmer one.—sor whether it was eaukti by a

combination tithe farmers in withholding their
grain from market. in contemplation of the high
prices which the opening of the Dillilleries would
create, at kali a pretence to demand the prohibi-
tion of the Difiilleries for fosse time longer would
afford the remedy in either-eafe. as it would ex-
plooile there eapFitations which indnoeci the farmer
or the monopohlt to withhold his grain from mar-
•ket, and by throwing into the flock of human food
the whole of the barley which would otberwife be
confurned by the diftilleries in the produetion of a
rnifchievous fpirit,equollyruinous to the health and

orbitancy of which could not be attributed to any
deficiency in the late harveft, teeming as it did with
the moil unparalleled abundance, not only in
every fpecies of corn, but iu every vegetable pro-
duition elculent to man or beall. To prevent then
the repetition of thole calamities, which in the Taft
two years bad been sicked on the insiuttriouopoor,
with all the horrors and fatalities of famine (for
by the ceports of medical gentlemen in every part
of the country who attended them, it appeared
that of thofe who died, two-thirds met their un-
timely fate from diforders ariling out of the &anti-
Refs of food),liehoped the Houle would interfere,
and by -the adoption of a remedy within their

the country, prevent the further growth of an evil.

even though the remedy he propofed thould not he
thought adequate to the writchief in its full eatent,
yet if it went only a confiderable length towards a
purpofe fo defirable, humanity ;mutt call upon the
Houle for its adoption. The firenegunient upon'
which the opponents of-this meafure ;milted was,
that the proportion of barley confirmed by the tlif:
tilleriesi nEngtand was too t r; vial,in eomparifenwith
the produce of die foil, to affect the prices of grain,•
being but an average of from a to,ooo to soo,ooo
quarters per annum. The proportion of aoo,ooo
quarters for Scotland, would make the whole
'500,000 quarters, which, upon fair calculation,
was acknowledged to be adequate in the produce
la bread to 3t50,000 wieners of wheat. Now a
quarter of wheat was etiroated as competent fulr-
tenanee for one man, for twelve months, in bread;
and thus would the means of giving in ;sport in
