PARLIAMEIVI'ARr PROCEEDINGS.

HOUSE OF LORDS, MARCH 16.

A number of Peitieits from diferent p is of the enuntry.
and front l'ansites in the Metropolis, were iregented by
dig-rent Peers, against any alteration being made iu the Coro.
Laws.--These were severally nrdertd to be on the table.

THEATV.

The Earl of LIVER POOL. presented, by command of hh
Royal 11,.,iii,ess the Prince Regent, Copies tit the 'Treaty 01
Peace lately concluded with the United States of America. His
Lord.blp 'sided a few words, in a low tone of yoke, across the
tab!ev the purport of which was an intimation of Ms intention
to trove that the Treaty be taken into consideration on Wednes•

day next.
Earl GREY aiso, in a low tone of voice, adverted to ee.ealn
documents, which he conceived it would be necessary to Pe laid
before ParliSment, before the Howie could give a correct jodg-
•Dteot on the question ; more especially as far as the ecoduct of
Ins Majesty's Ministers wak implicated on the occasion.
The Earl of 'LIVERPOOL observed, it was contrary to the
general practice to have such documents as the Noble Earl ad-
verted to cont:r oicated, when negocidliour ended in a treaty of ,
peace. In eves where the negociations were broken off, it via,
customary tt, tt:ve such papers communicated, it. order to illus.
trate the grotn.ils or cause of the rupture. The former case did
not apply to the conduct of his M..jrtry's Ministers respecting
the tiegociation: Nor were there avy precedents of the produc-
tions of such persons, when the nezociations terminated in a
treaty of peace aud amity.
Earl GRE: thought yen differently on this point, a, deem-
-IE 4 such a case, according to eircumstant es, very likely to in-
volve the conduct cf his Majesty's Government. Certain points,
for instance, may have been insisted upon as a 'aim yea non, and
afterwards relinquished, which might have been obtained in time
of success, with grace and dignity. In such instance, the ho-
nour and inter,sts of 'the country may be seriously injured. If a
precedent of the bird could not be found, the very case In quer
tion Was one on which a preceden may be well founded; and it
was his intention on the next open day, to submit a motion to
tee House upon the subject.
Earl Garr that prvoreneed a • Petition front the City of Nor-
wich, numerously sizned, ag3ir.st the Corn Vill ; which, with
some other Pe•ilocts to the same ealet, presented bgthis Royal
Highness the bike of soss ex. and Earls FOITESCUr and STAN-
ower, were ordered to lie on the table.

Lord GRENVII.I.E rave notice thlt shoold to-morrow
submit a motion to :he House relative to Lb: prayer of the Pen.
Con from the City of Lomion.
The Baok Restriction Bill pa:sed through a Committee of the
whole Houser and, was reported withou t. any amendingut.
'lake Earl of. LIVERPOOL notifiLd his intention to move the'
third reading of the Elton Tuesday next.
A short conversation took place between Lord Garsvitte,
the Earl of Liv LLPOUL, and the Loeb eUA NCELLOK' in conse-
• queue* of a Petition being offered for presentation by the first
mentioned Peer, against e projected tax upon the windows of
manufac.urete warehouses &c. the result of which was, that
toe Noble Lord svotiiiirtw warehouses,
Petition for the present, in order
to offer it should tnt Bill come before their Lordships.

INTERkkTS OF AGRICULTURE.

The Order of the Day upon which their Lordships
were surnmotled, being read,
Earl STANHOPE rose to bring forward his pro-
posed motion on the subject of the taxes borne by
persons engaged in agriculture. The Noble Earl
took a view of the situaticn of the farmer twenty
years ago, and comparing his present state, contend-
ed that he was under the necessity, in consequence
• of increased taxation, to sell his produci: at an high
price. His Lordship concluded by moving a resolu-
tion, in substance—u That to procure a supply of
provisions for the public was an object of national
importance but such supply could not at all times
be 6btaihed, without the grottier of corn was enabled
to cultivate his land free from weighty taiation i ,it
was therefore important that those taxes which press

on the gro*ers of earn be repealed, as fir as the
state of the country would allow, keeping its faith
with the public creditor, and preserving a moderate
peace establishment."
The Earl of LIVERPOOL objected to the reso-:
lotion, as totally unavailing. It could have no other
object than embodying principles which . the Noble
Lord could not carry into execution. The only effect
it would hive was to hold out a prospect of relief
which could not be afforded. Any person hearing
the Noble Earl's argument would have supposed that
new taxes were throivn on agriculture. That was
not so : there was no new tax applying to agricul-
ture. Did the Noble Lord consider the situation of
the country, and that it had incurred a national debt
not mach short of forty millions a year ? Did he
know that it was necessary to keep up large esta-
blishments ? If any relief to the public could be
afforded, Lord Liverpool said he should be the first
to procure that relief ; bat would Parliament, at a
time when it was bound to keep faith with the ;milk
creditor, affect to hold out relief to any class of the
community which it cannot afford ? As this motion
could have no good effect, his Lordship moved the
previous question.
Earl GREY expressed Hs strict concurrence in
part of what had fallen from the Noble Earl who
spoke last, and deprecated the holding. out false
hopes as to reduction of taxes, where circumstances
would not admit of it. He trusted that the Peace
Establishments would be, as far as possible, formed
on principles of strict economy. While be glanced
at that 'point, he would take the opportunity of ex-
pressing his hope, that those expectations of retrench-
ment atlll economy, which were naturally entertained
from the return of peace, would not be disappointed
in consequence of any injudicious interference with
respect to the concerns of France, if that country
were again destined, unfortunately, to be the scene
of internal discord, or warfare. He thought it his
duty to say thus much ; and farther, that when the
peace establishments should conic to be regularly ar-
ranged, it was hoped that they would be confined
within the lowest practicable limits as thtre was no
reason to exceed that peace establishment fritich had
been fixed, after so much discussion, for the yeir 92.
Earl STANHOPE spoke in explanation, and ex-
pressed his determination to take the sense of the
House on his proposition.
A division accordingly took place, when there ap-
peared—For tLe Resolutions I—For the previous
question :30—Majority 29.
Alter forwarding the Bills upon the Table, their
Lordships adjourned.
