present Bill was to give effect to the ' Irish Act of
1793 ; and to that he wished it to be exclusively
confined.

was one which deserved the encouragement and
countenance of the House.

After a few words from Mr. Viruarrott and Mr.
CALCRAPT in explanation,
Mr. BARING objected to making the Crown t!,
proprietor of so many houses as would be obtained
by it under this Bill. He thought, if the Crown %,,,,r;
allowed to purchase, it should also be compelled to
sell for the Public.

The Bill then went through the Committee, and
was ordered to be printed.

SWEDISH TREATY.

Lord ROSSLYN had waited to see whether the
Noble Lord opposite (Liverpool) was to present the
substance of the engagements between Russia and
Sweden, which was essential to the due consideration
of the Swedish Treaty ; but he now found that it was
not intended to present that paper to-day. For that
reason he should suppose, that the Noble Lord him-
self would have no objection to postpone the consi.
deration of the Swedish Treaty. But he had another
reason for pressing this, which was the indisposition
of a Noble Friend of his, who was anxious to be pre-
sent at the discussion.
Lord LIVERPOOL did tot think the first reason
sufficient, as he should be able to present the paper
in question tomorrow ; and he knew that it contained
nothing that ought to lead to a postponement of the
consideration of the Swedish Treaty from Thursday
to a later day. The other reason, he allowed, was
sufficient to Induce him to agree to any postponement
that might not be inconsistent with the public service.
He had no objection, therefore, to fix his motion for
the consideration of the Treaty for Friday ; and it
was fixed for Fliday accordingly.—Adjourned.
