The CHANCILLOR of the Exotica:tee role to
make the motions which had been made annually
for feveral years pall, and he hoped that they

the Houk. The firl which he had to make was,
That an humble Addrefs be prefented to his Ma-
lay, that he will be gracioelly pleated to confer
fome dignity in the Church, on the Rev. johti
Barton, Chaplain to the Houle.—This motion was
put and agreed to unanimonlly. .
The CH41.11M1.01 of the Excriacerta before
makitsg his fecond motion,. exprefed a hope that
it alto would pars unAnimoutly, becaofe he con-
ceived that every Gentleman in the Houfe would
agrre with him in thinking, that the manner in
which his Hots. Friend, the Chairman of the Com-
mittee of Ways and Means] has performed his la-
borious and important duties, coald not receive
too high marks of a ion or meet with ton
great reward, from the He then moved,

of Suppl 7, aad Ways rind Means, foreword for his
Cervices in that office, during the prefent Seffion,
and to affure his Majelly that the Houle will make
-good the fame.
_ _

Mr. COILRY did not know whether the ram now
propofed was the fame that was voted to the fame
Gentleman in preceding SerGons, but he thought
that he (hould not difcbarge his duty, nor do jur-
tice to that Hon. Gentleman, if he did not take
the prefent opportunity of exprefling, on his own
part, and on that nfAhe country of Ireland, the
fincere teftimony of ineem and gratitude, which
he and that country mutt equally feel for the at-
tention which that Hon. Gentleman has. paid to
its intereils, and for the admirable manner in which
he has difcharged the new duties which the recent
event of the Union of the Legiflatures of Great
Britain and Ireland has impored on him. He did
not mean to inquire whether the additional la-
• hour which that event has, impofed on him, re-
quires any larger fum to be voted to him than that
now propofed. He only witheskto give his tefti-
mony in favour of the manner in which there du-
ties have been difcharged.—The Motion was *in
put and agreed to unanimonfly. -•-. - - •

All thefe Motions were ftverally put and agreed

Mr. Bairns brought up the Report of the
Committee, on the general Standing Orders of the
Houle.

The Refolutions of the Committee were read,
agreed to, ordered to be thenceforth Standing Or-
ders of the Houfe, and to be printed.
Mr. &acme brought up the Report of the Com-
mittee on the Standing Ordersof the Houle relative
to Inclofures, which was alto read and agreed to.
Lord SH I 'YIELD Paid, the Country is much in-
debted to his Hon. Friend, for the attention he
had paid to the flanding Orders, and to the Alf
which had jull paffed relative to Inclofures. They
may be of ufe, particularly in faring fome expense
in refpeß to Witnelres ; but they are utterly ina-
dequate to the exigency, and the Country will be
much difappointed, and, in his opinion, with rea-
fon dilLuisfied, if it fhould be fuppofed this is
all that is intended to be done : He Paid, the
Country had fulfered extremely, particularly the
two fall years, from fomething more ferious than
mere apprehenfions of famine. A fcarcity of Grain
had railed the price in this and in other Countries
with which we trade fo high, as would have been
prohibitory of the ufe of it to a great proportion of
the Community, unlefs we had yielded to the dan-
gerous policy of feeding the people at the public ex-
pence. To alleviate th e d firers, n the courfe of two
years we have enafted that the People fleould eat
[tale bread, and we have granted Proteaing Duties
which may bring here the limitedquantitythat can
be had from other countries, and we have thus rail-
ed the price abroad fo high, that the prefent pro-
dteding Bounties will not indemnify the Importer,
1 particularly from America. To obviate the recur-
rence of fuch dillrefs, the Country loudly called
for a General Inclofure and Cultivation of the
Waite Lands as a certain and only fuse relief, and
in enfanr to their prayers we have jolt paired an
Aft which, it was obvious to every perfon who un-
derkood the fubjeft, could do very little indeed to-
, wards the attainment of the objeft in quellion.—
He obfervedi there was a difpcifition to do every
thing that *can be done for the relief of the
Country, which is checked by an apprehen-
lion that certain perfons in another place, that
even an individual would °barna.. It was com-
mon to fay that no eifential eneafure mutt be at-
tempted; that we should endeavour to get a little
at a time, and by attempting more the wWe mea-
fure will be loft ; he fleouW obferve, that in the
mean time the country might (lane and be ruin-
ed; that he (hould ever reprobate Inch language,
and that we Mould be unworthy our fituauon in
that Houfe if we fbould thus be prevented from
bringing forward rneafures which may fare the
Country from Famine and Bankruptcy. If we
fhould not fucceed, the People will be fatisfied we
had done our duty, and the public diffatisfaetion
would fall only on thofe whole ill-founded opi-
nions and views, whatever they may be, counter-
aft the public welfare : he obferved, we mull not
be deterred from attempting to relieve the Coun-
try by high-founding plarafes, that a Commuta-
tion for Tithe in kind would fop the foundation of
all property thole to whom that kind of argu-
ment is addreffed, mull be imagined vary igno-
rant and veg. weak ; it feems to fuppofe that Mo.
duces, %shill are mere Commutations for Tithe,
had not culled for many cemuries in this country ;
it feems to pals over the circumllance that the

-

[greater part of the Ads of Inclofure do the very
Vlirig and allot land for Tithes. He added that
the-diltrefs of the Country has been and is great,
he therefore had much pleaure in learning, that
feveral Gentlemen had the intention of bringing
forward Tome meafure on the fnbjed : it afforded
..liar great fatisfaftion, thinking as he did, that it
6 would °there/go be incumbent-en him to offer
fome meafure to Parliament. He flattered him-
(elf his Majefty's Mnifters would bring forward
Tome great • meafure ; he knew they had not -ne-
gleded that great fubjed,• and thiE they would
fairly confider the dangerous confequence of de:
pending on other countries for fubfiftence, the un-
certainty of it and the ruinous expence, if we could
obtain the quantity of Grain we wanted; they
will find that on' an average of the laft ten years,
we had paid 3,300,0061. annually' to foreign coun.
tries for Grain, and in the laft year, namely :Soo,
we have paid upwards of Ten Millions fix bun-
dried gpd forty-nine thoufand pounds, which ismore
dean doubt: the heretofore boafted balance of
tide ip ow f.tvpur. He concliled by faying be
thould not. then trouble the Houle farther than by
.moving, " That in all Bills for Inclofing or Im.
roving any walk or uncultivated Lands, there be
triterted ie. Claufe, empowering and directing the
Commiftioners, to mark out or award unto the
lithe Owner, an allotment of fuch wafte and un.
cultivated Lands to be once ring-fenced by the
Proprietors of the adjoining allotments thereof, in
lieu of all Tithes to arife from all fuch wafte and
Uncultivated Lands." He obferved, this merely'
related to Land that had never paid any Tithe;
and that he knew the Cultivation of large_Traeks
wee • prevented, in confequence of thq diZzultica
I which arofe with refped to the Tithes.
Mr. &tenon thought, that _fuch a Motion as
that now made by the Noble Lord would have been
sore fitly made at the beginning than at the clofe
of

greateft number of Intloilare Bills that ever
puffed before in any Salon was eightrfeven : this
btmber paced in 1 yy. Lail year only eighty-one
were patted. This arettmitance would perhaps be
eprafolatory to the Century. Whatever might bel
hla opinion of the meafure propofed by the: Noble
Lord, he could not at the prefent Rage of the
Baron, and in confideratton that it had already
undergone full crifculficin and been rejeded, give
his fupport to it.
. No_perfon feconding the motion, it was not pus;
Mr. VANSITTAIT moved, " That the Houle, at
Its riling, than adjourn to Thurfday next."

Lan night we received Pstb Journals of the
27th, which bring foam particulars of the opera-
tions of the Spank!' army againft Portugal down
to the 7th of June. They teem to be the fame that
were lately alluded to in thelifoniitor, when the bid
was dropt of the neceffity of feizing on the Portz;.,
guefe provinces by way of having tome equivalents
to give up at the making of Peace.
We Apprehend, however, that the balance re.
(petting the Portuguefe territories will hand very
different when that period arrives, from what the
Cuter Consul. promikdbiostelf; when he planned
the inrafion of thatcountty. Was it to be thought.
when fuch plans were avowed by the enemy, that
we fhould leave to them the power of alfo depriv-
ing the Q.Lteen of Portugal of bar foreign poife‘
fions ? No, no! we know as well how to Ws lo
ore, and keep for our faidlul elk: I aU kinds of Co.
lonial territories, as the French do how to leis*
upon the Continental—Witnefs the Toulon fleet
taken in troll for Lewis Xllll.—the Cape of
Good Hope, Ceylon, and thelffpice 'flaunts, &c.
&c. taken in trua for the Stadtholder to which
we !hall probably (if the enemy perfias in over-
running Portugal) have the fatisfa&ion of loon
adding the Brazils, and, perhaps, the ifland of
.Madeira; and, in no great time after, Goa in the
Batt Indies!—How will the balance hand ?
The fah is, a fecret Expedition has already
failed from Spithead with troops, flat-bottomed
and gun-boats, &c. on force bufinefs of the kind
,alluded to, and Brazil Is coAdered as the place
of deitinaticm. If we once obtain that valuable
.Colony, we need not envy the enemy pacifies of
all they can feize upon in Europe.
In the mean time, the communicationsbatt/elli
our Government and the French are very freqnsid-
of late, but to pretend any acquaintance with the
progrefs of the negotiation, would be ridiculous.
The Public will know nothing of k till it either
fails entirely, or comes to fame definitive iffne.
A letter froin Genoa, of the t 7th of June, floats
that the French troops are marching to Rotas
