COTTON TRADE.

Sir. ROMT PULLS Paid, he rofc to call the at-
tention of the Houle to a meafure, to which he
trufted there would be no objeaion ; it was for the
pus pofe of bettering the condition of Apprentices
employed in the Cotton Trade. It vraswell known
that the Cotton Manufaaure gave employment to
a great number of children of both fetes. The
advantages, however, retuning from this, were
accompanied by a confiderable evil. It would ea-
fdy be believed that where a large number of per.
font were crowded together, impurity would arife,
and that impurity would be followed by difeafe.
The objeft of the Bill which he wiflied to introduce,
was to eflablifh regulations for the purpofe of re-
moving the evils complained of ; another objea of
it alto was, to give the poor Children inftruaion,
the want of which had given rife to much immo-
rality. If the Houfe thould grant leave to bring in
the Bill, he intended to propofe that perfons should
be appointed to infpefl the Rate and condition of
there Children, at the different Manufaftories
where they might happen to be placed. He con-
cluded by moving for leave to bring in a Bill for
the better prefervation of the health and morals of
Apprentices, and others employed in Cotton Mills
and Cotton Manufaaories.
Lord Be toeeve feconded the Motion, which in.
volved, he raid, confiderations of the greateff
penance to the Community. There were many
manufatories in .which the health and morals of
a great number of Children employed in them were
endangered. He thought the meafure ought to
be extended to all the children employed in them,
as well as Apprentices, the latter clafs forming the
fmaller number ; nor did he fee any reafon why
the Bill (hould be confined to the Cotton Mann-
faaures, and not extended to the Woollen Menu-'
factures and others. There was a van number of
Children employed in the different Manufaftures,
whole fituation he thought loudly called for the in-
terference of the firong arm of the Law.
Sir Roy IT 8., x TON obferved, that Woollen
Manufafturers were precluded from taking any
more than two apprentices without a proportional
number of journeymen, whillt the Cotton Mann-
faCturers were fettered by no fu-h reflriaion.
Sir Roane PEELS d-precated the idea of re-
Rriaing Manufafturers in the employment of their
capital, and trolled the Houte would not counte-
nance it for a moment.

Mr. NV: Lli ER RAC k was of opinion the Bill on ht
to be extended to' other Manufaltories as well as
that of Cotton. The Children employed in diem,
laboured for the benefit of the Public. mid it was
but kill that Guardians lhonld be provided for their
beAlth and murals. He inuvcd to amend the ma

tion, with the words Cotton and other Mills, and
Cotton and other Manufatturics. ,

A Member having objeded to the general words
of the Amendment,
Lord HAWICESSURY obferved, that the Amend
ment did not pledge the Houle to make regula-
tions with raped to every manufadory, but mere-
ly prevented them from being reftrieted to the
Cotton Manufadory only.
Mr. BRAGG! thought the general words of the
Amendment did contlitute an objeflion to it, as
it was holding out unneceffarily to the Public, that
they were likely to make regulations with refped
to every manufadure.
Sir ROBERT PEELS laid he could feel no objec-
tion to enlarging the objeft of the Bill. He was
only igfligated to bring it forward by Humanity,
and the more extenfively ufcful it could be render-
ed, the better his purport was anfwcred.
After a few words from Lord BFLCRAVE,

Mr. CORRY expreffed his hopes that the people
of Ireland would turn their attention to this Cub-
jea. Sir ROBERT PEALE explained.
Leave was then given to bring in the Bill.
THANKS TO THE ARMY •ND NAVY.

The CH•NCELLOR of the EXCHEVE It laid, " I
rife, Sir, to make a motion which I am confident
will meet the unanimous concurrence and cordial
approbation of this Houfe—a motion, the objea
of which is to render a tribute of justice and of
gratitude to thole gallant men who in our Army
and Navy have expoled themfelves to all the risks
of -war, to fight the battles of their country
abroad ; and alto to thofe brave patriots who took
up arms to defend their country at home. Be-
tween the exertions of the army and navy, I feel
it would be unjust and unwarrantable to make any
diftiation : the fervices of both, during the lall
war, mull be the theme of wonder—long and end-
lets praife—for they have been produitive of un-
exampled fuccefs and unfullicd glory. It is not,
however, to the Army and Navy alone that I
propofe to confine this fliftinguillied mark of pub-
lic acknowledgment. It is well known that the
condo& of the Fencibles has been, during the
courfe of the war, peculiarly meritorious. Su-
perior to the idea of limiting their Cervices in the
caufe of their country to the aria terms of their
original engagement, they Chewed a readinefs to
meet the perils of the war in the remotest quar-
ters of Europe, or wherever they might be called
upon ; and in Ireland they have been eminently
ufeful. There is another branch o( the military
fervice, entitled in the ftrongeft manner to the
praife and gratitude of the empire. The Houle
no doubt is aware of that to which I allude—l
mean the Militia—a body of men whore zeal and
devotion to the public caufe is fo generally
known as almoll to obviate the neceffity of de-
fcription I fpeak not of the privations to which
the ofh-ers of that corps have fubmitted, nor of
their abfence for nine years from the comforts
and fuperintendance of their domellic eftablifh-
ments, but I claim the molt exalted favour this
Houfe can bellow for the ardour, patriotifm, and
loyalty which the whole of that body has ex-
hibited—a condo& which is not lets calculated to
retie& eternal honour upon their charatter,
than it has been to maintain the importance and
security of the nation—a conduit which Ireland
is forward to atteft ; for in that country the aai-
city of the Drib& Militia in fuppreffing a danger-
ous rebellion, and reftoring complete tranquility,
was eminently confpicuous. The Militia has alto,
it will be reconciled, travelled out of its precife
contrail, in offering its affiftance on the Expedi-
tion to Holland ; an offer of which the Govern-
ment very wifely availed itfelf, and it was found
in the courfe of that conflia, that thole brave men
were not inferior in difcipline, courage, or &adj.
nefs in attion to the moll experienced veterans.
By the gallantry of theft men were fo many bril-
liant vifiories achieved in the courfe of that expe-
dition ; in which, upon the whole, it would Curdy
be admitted on all fides that nothing of the mili-
tary charader of the nation had been loft, but
rather that it had been confideiably advanced; it
would be an injuftice to the Houfe to fuppofe it
poffible that any objettion could be made to in-
clude that refpettable body in the Vote of Thanks;
and perhaps (till lets was any difference of opinion
probable as to the pretenfions which the volunteer
corps had to the applaufe of the country—they
who came forward to protat dovneftic tranquility
—and, when the country was threatened with
foreign invafion—with a degree of patriotic virtue
feldom paralleled, they gave up their private en-
gagements, and rallied to the (tandard of public
defence. In reference to their behaviour since, I
than only fay, that they have evinced an energy
and zeal well fuited to enfure the (meets of the
wife and energetic plans which the Government
had deviled ; and they have afforded the moll fa-
tisfaCtory pledge of the fpirit and refources of the
country —that if war should again unfortunately
occur, we have among our own community, a
number of men of fufficient valour, determination,
and difcipline, to fecure the defence of the country,
independent of our own regular forces. From the
confederation of this circumftance another pleating
reflation arofe, that it was mended, from the for-
midable amount of there corps, that the views of
Government were in conformity with the temper
of the people ; that the bleffings dour happy Con-
ftitution were fairly appreciated; and that it was
the refolution of the Britilh people to defend it. to
the Taft extremity. This was matter of juft exul-
tation ; but it was a fubjea of (till higher gratifi-
cation, that the firmnefs manifefted by thefe corps
by Viewing the energy and patriotifm which ani-
mated the whole Britifh Empire, had contributed
to procure for us a happy and honourable peace."
The Right Hon. Gentlemait concluded by moving
the Thanks of the Houfe to the Officers of the
Army and Navy for their splendid fervices in ,he
defence of the country during the !alt war.
Lord Hawn Essuar role to fecond the motion.
He Paid he entertained little doubt of the unani-
mous assent of the Houfe to the propofition of his
Right Honourable Friend, and he would feel him-
felt extremely toblame if he attempted tri introduce
any topic into the dircuftion, which could tend to
produce the flighteit difference of sentiment upon
this occation. It would be confidercd, that what-.

ever opinions might be held as to the p.IIU,
events of the war, lo far as the army and ni:‘ -
were concerned, their exertion, valour, and 1104
were eminently confpicuous, and completely h,..
nourable to the cilaraCter of the ow:my ;ro into it •
fig, that he would not be afraid to enter into
comparifon of the achievements of the lalt ‘,.tr
with any that preceded it, confident that if they
did hot furpafs, they were, at leaft equal. As
navy. he believed it would not be contended th.it
vietories lb brilliant as had been obtained in tile
courfe of the laft war, were to be found in the
annals of the world. If he looked at the army,
he thought their fervices not lets the fubjeet of
commendation and praife, though certain even! s
might have diappointed the belt calculAtiou.
policy, or defeatecl, the utmoft exertions a valour,
nothing had happened in the courfe of the war that
was not highly honourable to the reputation of
our army. He particularly dwelt on their gal.
lant conduit in Egypt, which in fait materially
contributed to produce the conclufion of the war;
and he claimed the approbation of the Houle
for there iptrepid men. Whatever might be the
opinion of fome Gentlemen as to the terms of
the Peace—it muft be admitted that it was con-
eluded under circumftances peculiarly favourable
in this point of view, that it took place at a time
when our vielories were frefh in the recollection of
Europe, and when foreign nations mutt feel that if
it fhould be again necelfirry to alert our honour,
or to maintain our intereft, • againft any enemy, we
were polliffed of vigour and energy fully adequate
to the conteft. For the continuance of the peace
he did mull earneltly pray, and he could allure the '
Houle that every effort would be made by Govern_
went, confiftent with the fupport of our honour
and intereft, to preferve peace; but every Englifh-
man mutt retie& with pleafure and with pride on
the power and fpirit of his country, to confpicu.
oufly difplayed during the late war : for it any
fymptom of a hoftile difpofition fhould unfortu-
nately appear, the fureft tell for the continuance
of peace would be our capacity to meet the war
with firmnefs, and of that the late conteft had af-
forded abundant proof. He agreed with his Right
Hon. Friend that a fyftem of caution was at all
times neceffary, but that jealoufy ihould be got rid
or; for jealoufy, by exhibiting an irritation in our
own minds, might excite it in the minds of others
—it was inconfiltent with the nature of a pule&
good underftanding—it was opposite to the fpirit
of peace to indulge it. Our condu& ibould be
plain, manly, and unequivocal, always difpofcd
to sincere amity with other nations, and always
alive to the honour, dignity, and independence of
our own.

The CHANCELLOR. of the EXCHECLSTER Paid, he
was obliged 'to his Right Hon. Friend near him,
for reminding him of his having pared over th.
Militia and the Fencibles of Ireland. This was
purely accidental; he thought he had taken notice
of both, as molt certainly he felt the fame fenti-
ments for them as he did for thole of this country;
they were both perfatly meritorious in their con-
dua.

The Motion was then put and carried, nem. can.
That this Houfe doth approve of, and acknowledge the
Services of the Petty and Non-coenmiSoned Officers and Men

Upon the motion for the fecund reading of the

Mr. B t tits Grog congratulated the country upon
the etre:l:Mt:lnce of the • Chanceaor of the Erche
querns havinz it in his prover, immediately upoti
the ch:CcX. a tsdious and expentivc war,. to raiL:

ariaed the :.::: fei:i:s

•
ord:r; th_ ptople cf this COuntry ; there weer-
n ) confiderat ions of revenue which ought to Rm../
in the way of a regulation which might have the
I: Eli% of putting so and to ft) dcarnaive a praaice,
hot uninnunately fuel was the avidity of the peo.
plc of this.,country for ardent fpirits, that any re-
draint plith d ton far would only be the means of
ifaroducir.g foreign fpiriu, to the certainty of in-
creafing wnat was waited to be siiminifhed, and at
the lame time of injuring the revenue: The ob.
ieetion of the Hon. Gentleman was obviatad by the I
manner in which the tax was laid. It was laid
uu M.ilr, and would therefore operate on spirits.
Had it been laid on Barley, it would have been
(fact-ern; by laying it on Malt, it would It tve the
effed of laying a charge 'n
Mr. Ross gave the Hon. Ge.ialeman credit for
his intention, but if it was to be aged upon, the
confequence would be, that in proportion as licenl-
ei !mules diminiffied, unlicenfcci one% would be
taken up. Already, in the parifh where he refided,
there were feveral unlicenfed houfes for retailing :
spirits, which the vigilance of the Magifiracy was
linable to fupprefs, on account of the unpotfibility
of obtaining perfons to become informers.
Mr. Wioasy joined in approving the Repeal ofl
the Income Tax, but he regretted that it was re-
placed
by one which necetrarily would oblige the I
Brewer to retail his beer at an advanced rice,
and thereby affed the poor.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHECVER (aid, the
obfervation of. the Hon Gentleman gave tire to
feelings of regret, but it contained no timid objec
tion to the tax. He believed it was impoffible to I
impof a tax on the higher orders of fociety which
would not operate on the lower. Thinking of the E
Income Tax as he ever had done, and ever th.add
do—as that which had been the great indrument
by which the deliverance of the country had been
effected, he had at the fame time been of opinion
it bad been the means of producing an advance on
all the articles of life—one of the effeas of the re-
peal would be a con&derable relief to thole whom
it was the peculiar with of the Houfc to gtttify.—
He regretted that the Tax on Beer filould bear
hard on the lower ordersAut let Gentlemen look
to the amount of the capital for which interefl was
to be raifed, and then fay whether there was any
mode fiefs burthenfome by which it could be rail-
ed. The died of the Tax had been anticipated
Juring the late fcarcity, and he fhould think it in-
cumbent on him to perlilt in it, unlefs fume more
fubltantial way of tinting tb I.:rge a film as it
would produce, was pointed out to him.
Lord HAWICESBURY agreed with the Chancellor
of the Exchequer, that no view of Taxation
could be more miflaken than that wl.ich ruppoled
a general Tax bore exclufively cn any one de:::rip-
Lion of perfons. A tax on the rich molt bear on
the poor, and thofe on the poor mutt bear on the
rich. When a Tax was propofed on an article,
the confitmption of which applied peculiarly to
the one or the other, it might in the firft inflance
hear hard on that clots, but in the end the
.Tax
would find its level over the different claffes of the
community. The perfons whom the tax on beer
would prefs moft upon, would be thofe who were
relieved from the Income Tax. It had been en-
deavoured to tax, in the firft inftance, the general
clars of the community; but in the prefent
fiance the Tax would fall heavier on perrons frcm
601. to 2001. a year. The Export and In.port
Tax would bear immediately on commerce. His
Right Hon. Friend had faid, the price of thong
beer would not be greater than it had been two
years ago, when the public had to contend with
the Imam: Tax and fcarcity ; befides, in the year
1760, beer had been mired to 3ld. a pot—by this
arrangement it would be aid--let the Houle
confider the increafe of wages, and the price of
every article of neceility, and then fay whether
the rife of one penny in fb long a period was in
any degree proportionate ? He waaperfuaded the
more the fubjea was confidered, the more the Pub-
lic would be imprcfred with the policy of the Tax.
After tome further converfitticm between Dr.
LAWRENCE. the CHANCELLOR of the Excusosotv,
and Mr. WILBERFORCE, the refolution was agreed
to. Converfations arofe between Mr. Win t. Ey, Mr.
RossoN, Mr. BAIIINGTON, Major MLTCALF, Mr.
ALEXANDER, Mr. BORDON, Mr. VA'SITTART,
&HAW LEFEVRE, and the CHANCELLOR of the Ex
cm ects;FlL, upon the rethlutions refpeuEting the At
feffed Tare, all of which were agreed to.
The Houle refumed ; the Repo: t was received,
the refoltttions agreed to, and the hills ordered to
