PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, THURSDAY, FEB.s.

The SPEAICER Rated, that the Houfe had
waited upon his Majefly with their Addrefs, to
which his Majetly bad been pleafed to make a
moll gracious. answer.
taw BREAD BILL.
Mr. Yos K 6 laid, that.in the abfence of a Right
Hon. Friend of his, he was inflrated, by the
Committee appointed to confider of the High
Price of Provilions, to move for leasie to bring in
a Bill to fafpend part of the Bill paged laft elllon
refpecting the Drefling of Flour. The Committee
bad recommended that Bill in conformity with
the Evidence which had been given before them,
but fine that period, experience had proved, that
the direftions contained therein, as far as they re-
lated to Barley and Oats, by no means anfwered
the inteations And expeCtations of the Committee—
he had, therefore, been directed to move to fuf-
pend fo much of that Aft as related to Barley and
Oats, which Motion he then made. and as the
Houle mutt be aware, from the nature of the
fubjeft. that expedition . woald be defirable, he
hoped it might be permitted to pats through its
fiveral flats with as little delay as poffible.
Mr. Alderman CURTIS role to fecond the Mo-
tion, but he wiled his Hon. Friend's Motion had
been to explain and amend the Bill, inflead of
only fnfpending a part. He wished to have the
Bill amended, by introducing fome claufe for
punifhing perfons adulterating the Meal ; for at
prefent fuch mixtures were made as were not only
unpleafant, but unwholefome. By the Law, as
it at prefent flood, the only punifhment that could
be inflicted upon perfons who were guilty of Each
fhameful praCtices, was a penalty of 51. which was
impofed by a Statute of Geo. 11. He believed'
the Houfe would agree with him in thinking that
the penalty was by no means adequate to the of-
fence; and therefore he walled the Motion had
lather been for explaining and amending the
-Bill, in order that fome claufe to that tired might
be introduced.
Mr. YORKE faid, that if the Worthy Alderman
had attended the Committee, he would have found
that the.fubjed to which he bad alluded, had by
no means efcaped their attention, and fome mea-
fures to remedy the evil complained of, would
probably be propofed ; at the fame timeolie wished
to warn the Hon. Gentleman. and the Hoare
againft any rah Reps upon fo delicate a fukteft.
Mr. Alderman Cu ILTIS faid a few words in ex-

planation.
Mr. RosE Paid, he perfealy agreed in opinion
with the Worthy Alderman, that fome farther
remedy againft this offence thould be introduced;
for undoubtedly, a pehalty of sl. was not full
ficient ; at the fame time, however, he concurred
with the Hon. Gentleman who made the Motion,
in thinking that it would be better to confine the
prefent Bill to the objcEt which had been Elated,
and to leave the fubje& to which the Worthy Al-
derman had alluded for further ctmfideration.—
Leave was given to bring in the BilL
111314 POOR.

Colonel KEATING (Member for Kildare) role to
call the attention of the Houfe to the (late of the
funds for the fupport of different defcriptions of
poor in the feveral counties of Ireland. He conceived
that the prefent mode of collet ing there funds
was calculated to make the burdens fall too heavily.,
on many claire*, while it did not affign a fufficient
.proportion of them to other clatfes, who, by
their nation in fociety, were more able to contra-'
bute largely to the maintenance of the poor. He
was of opinion too, that they were not managed
with that fidelity, attention. and care, which
were requitite in thofe who are entrufled with the
management, of public charities ; and believed
that the expenditure would be much morelafely
. eatrufted to the Governors of the different coun-
t ties, and to perfons appointed by them, than left
In the hands of thole now employed. He law
many evils in the prefent fyftem, which be wifhed
to fee remedied as foots as this could be legally
effated, and for this purpofe he was refolved to
bring the matter under the particular review of
• the Honk. He concluded with moving, " That
there be laid before the Houfe an account of the
fwns levied in the feveral counties of Ireland for
t.fhpperrt of aged, indigent perfons, and other
defcripttons of poor at the Spring and Summer
Affixes, I+3oo, and the fums in the hands of the
feveral treafurers on the tft of January, tSo i."
Ns. Gentleman immediately riling to fccond the
Notion,
Colonel KLATIVG Paid, it was not ufual in the
Irifb Houfe, to require that Motions, which were
confidered as Motions of courfe,fhouldbe feconded,
and, he had not communicated his fentiments upon
the fubjeft to any other Gentleman.
•- Mr. Sit RID•N feconded the Motion.

IheSvilaitit informed the Honourable Gen.
demos that no Motion could be put in that Hoare;
until it was feconded ; at the fame time, be
thought it rigbt to fay, (though without aar
. reference to the prefent Motion) that when any
Gentleman had any Motion to bring on, of any
importance, it was ufual to give notice of it pra.
viouily.—The Motion was then agreed to. •
Mr. Ybaist brought in the Bill for fufpen •
part of the New Bread Bill paired laft Sc
' It was read a firft and fccond time, and ordeild
to be committed to-morrow.
suPPLY.
Mr. Rost moved the Order of the Day for the
Hook to =ruin itfelf into a Committee of

plf being granted, while his Majeliy's prefent
Mmiflers remained in Office. Lord Nosy,. was
undoubtedly an extravagant Minitier' but he had
to maintain an army at a di lance of sOOO miles,
and even then, did not expend above z 6 Millions
a year, whereas the prefent Minifiers fpent more
than double, and had alfQ doubled the National
Debt. He would not trouble the Houfe any
longer, but.he did not think he fhottld aft right.'
if he gave a fiknt vote upon ibis fubje&
. The Sr FAKE!, informed the Hon. Gentleman,l
that tjle Motion before the Honfe was not that a
fupply be granted, but that the Houfe fhould re-
folve itfelf Into a Committee.

The Houfe then refolved Well into a Committee
of Supply, Mr. BRAGGE in the Chair.
Mr. Ross faid, he would recommend to the
Hon. Gentleman to oppofe any fpecific Supply of
which he might difapprove, rather than tooppofe
the Supply generally. He then moved, That
a Supply be granted to his Majefty."
Mr. JottiFFV. raid, He would not then Rate his
reafons at length for oppofing any Supply being
granted ; if he were inclined to do fo, he believed
he fhould give the. Gentlemen on the other fide
Come difficulty to explain how fo much money had
been expended; but he fheuld have opportunities
enough for entering into that fubjed. ' He was
not. difpoted to quellion the abilities of the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer, but he thought him
very culpable in Coffering fuck extravagance.—
The Motion was then agreed to, and the Houfe
being refumed, therommittee was adjonrned till
to-morrow.
lIRUIDAVS MOTION.
Mr. Susasoaw fait!, Be. had this morning re-
ceived a note from a Right Hon. Gentleman, re-
quelling that the. Motion, of which h 3 -had given,
notice fur this day, might be pot off, in conic-
quence of the indifpolition of fromg Hon-
` Gentleman, which prevented him attencfing
his duty in Parliament. Mr. Skixanum raid, the
Motioh he intended was a -preliminary one,
which he meant to [pilots; up, whether he was fur-
cefsful in it or not, with other Motions, the ten-
dency of which would be,-ferioufly to criminate
his Majeily's Minifiers. He then pollporicd his
Motion till Tuefday next.
Mr. Aasor moved for an account of the Ordi-
nary and Extraordinary Revenue of Great Britain,
diilinguifhing England and Scotland; for an ac-
count of the Income of the Confolidated Fund,
the payments made out of it, and the aftual
charges thereon ; for an account of the Amount
of all the Taxes, dillinguifhing thofe laid on be-
fore 1793 ; for an Account of the Imports and
Exports for the laft fifteen years, diilinguithing
thofe from India and China ; for an account of
the Public Funded Debt of Great Britain, *and of
the progrefs made towards its reduction; for an
account of the Unfunded Debt of Great Britain,
and Tome other public papers: all of which Mo-
tions were agreed to.
Mr. Assay faid. that next week he fhould have
Motions of a firis-ir nature to lay before the
Houfe refpeding Ireland.

PRIVATE ■ILLS.
Mr. BRAGG E Moved, that all notices for Pri-
vate Bills, given in Auguft and September lall,
and alfo the notices given in December laft, fhould
be allowed as good notices for the prefent Sefton
of Parliament.—The Motion was agreed to.
Mr. BRAGGE then moved, that no Petition for
Private Bills in Creat Britain be received after the
13th day of March next.—Agreed to.

It was reported yellerky that two: &moth
fquadrons were pi*. By oarletters from Ply-
mouth we find it eonfirmed, that one fquadvon it
out. ' His Majeity's frigate the Cblicotoa hid:
an adion with one of the French MIMI, t midi;
the other veffels bearing down upon her;lhe woe
obliged to make all the fail the was able, to efenpe
being taken. She had feveral men killed and
wounded.

There is probably no truth in the report of ano-
ther fquadron being out. A few •ariations in the
rumours refpeeting the firli, would eafily give rife
to the idea of a fecond.
Refpeeling the deflination of this fquadron,
conjatures are ♦arious and contradidory. We
hope the greater part of the (hips are deflined for
our own ports, as prices to our brave tars. One
French frigate (whether one of the above fqua:
dron, we know not) has been brought into Tor-
bay by his Majetty's lisipsl'Oissau and Status.

The proceedings of she laa Court ti: era rc,id a.ad
confirmed.
Mr. Deputy BIRCH, after a prefatory fueeel.,
moved, that an humble and dutiful Addrefs b.
prefented to his Majclly by this Court, exticliii,
their congratulations on the important and muci:
wished-for Union with the kingdom cl Ireland.
Mr. Deputy Ls KEY feconded the motion.
Mr. Wairnmaa, in a fpeech of contider4ic
length, flrongly reprobated the attempt which wax
made to take the Court by furprife, and appealed
to the Mover, whether it would not have hem
more fair and decoroui to have given natiee of ;
motion, which involved in it fo many importat•
confiderations f—Now that the meafure of at:Unio:.
had been carried into effea, he finctrelv withed it
might be produaive of all the benefits its warineft
advocates expected from it ; but he had viewed it
as a molt impolitic and dangerous meaftwe, and
by no means calculated to consolidate the minds
and the intereits of the two kingdoms ; 'nevepar-
ticularly fo, when he recolleatd the manner by
which it had been. effected, againft the declared
fenfe of the Irith nation and its Parliament, while
the country wai under the fubjetion of military
power ; fuels an. Union, he feared, would &pro-
duals; of many evils.; we therefore ought atleaft
to have waited to fee-its effects, and whether the
grievances of the people were redreffed, which was
a confequence expelled from it. But, at a time
of fuch dreadful national calamity, when we were
brought to the brink of defiruaion by the grefs
mifcondua and incapacity of his Majelly's Con.
Tellers, it would furely become us better to can y
up Remnitftrances and Petitions, praying for the
difmiffal of thofe Miniffers who had fo miferably
conduaed our public affairs, rather Than congra-
tulatory Addreffes. That Court had for eight years
voted Addreffes in favour of the war; but, fuch
was the viable change of fentiment even in that
Court, that the Mover knew that it was impotEble
to carry any queftion directly approving of the con-
duet of Ministers:—he therefore intended to con-
vey a compliment to them by an Addrefs to his
Majesty Waidunan concluded by moving
the previous quellion.
Mr. Depaty Goonaluxas fecondedshe amend-
ment in an able fpeech. He obferved that the
worthy Deputy now faw the finkiug credit of the
Minifter ; and, as there was no other meafurc
which he could retort to, he wiled to•bohier him
up upon fuccefs in the Union.
Mr.PoittirsoppoledtheAddrefsatfomelength.
It was, he raid, by themany falffime and indiferi-
' minate Addreffes of that Court, that Minifters had
been enabled to purfue their dreadful career until
they had nearly compleated the ruin of the coun-
try, and reduced its inhabitants to a Rate of ur.:s
amplcd mifery and difirefs. •
Mr. Deputy LINCOLN expreffed his regret thav
the matter had bten brought forward, but as it
had been moved, he intended to vote for it.
Mr. Hoocsox delivered his fentiments at lone
leulith, and particularly alluded to the Mover not
having replied to any of the arguments which had
been brought against his motion.
After a long debate, the Court divided, when
there appeared for the morion—Aldermen, 7 ;
Commoners, 4.8 ; Tellers, Deputies Birch and
Leekey 2.—Total 57. For the Aniendment—Al-
dermen, t ; Commoners, 33 ;• Tellers, Meirs.
Waithman and Griffiths, 2.—Total 36;majority al.
The main queftion being put, was carried in the
affirmative. The Court.then appointed a Com-
mittee, affilled by the Law Officers, to prepare the
Addrefs. In a fort time the Committee returned
with the fame, prepared, which was read twice to
the Court by the Common .Serjeant—greed te,
and ordered to be fairly tranferibed, fired by tie
Town Clerk, and prefented to his Majefty fitting
on the Throne, by the whole Court. The Court
then directed the Sheriffs, attended by Mr. Re-
mernbrancer, to wait on his. Majelly, to know his
Royal will and pleafure, when Ife.will receive their
Addrefs of Congratulation.
Mr. Alderman CURTIS apologized for obtrud-
' ing himfelffii early on the Court ; but the import•
ance of the occafion, and the neceffity of his at-
tendance in Parliament, whcre.he hoped to. have
an opportunity of fpeaking on the fame fubjca,
would plead foe him ; he introduced to the notice
of the Court, the wicked and nefarious pradtice G f
mixing molt pernicious articles, and felling. them
as wheaten flour made agreeable to the I,ltc Ad
of Parliament ; that this practice had moll glar-
ingly appeared, notwithftanding the very early
caution the LORD MAYOR had given: the Al-
derman then moved that the Loan MAYOR
give diredlions to the City Solicitor to ptc-
fecute all Millers, Bakers, and others,. who 101 l
be found adulterating the flour or breld„.4
utrooft feverity" of the lasv.—The Motion voile-
conded by Mr. Harper, agreed to, and ordered to
be publifhed in all the papers. • '
The C,ourt ordered the Chamberlain to pay Mr.
Sheriff Cadell 4001. being the fine paid by him in
1.7 r, to entice him from ferving that office. .
The Court, according to annual cuilorn, ap-
pointed the Irifb Society, and the (landing Com-
mittees. . . •
A number of petitions for leaks were read, and
rektred to the 'Committee of City Lands to ex-
amine and report.—Several leafs. Were granted
and Pealed.
The inhabitants of Portfoken Ward petitioned
the Court to take into confideration the expediency
of widening the North-end of Somerfet-fireet,which
Was read and referred to the Committee for letting
the City's lands, to confider and report their opi-
nion to the next Court.
The Court voted their thanks to his Lordfliip's
Chaplain for his excellent fermon, preached at St.
Lawrence church on the t ith of laft month, pre-
'Out no his Lordfhip, the Aldermen, and Sheriffs'
q dying themfelves ; and he was requefted to
p t the fame for the ufe of the Members of this
Co The Court broke up at four o'clock.
