tett the Hon. iticniter to hare prcceedcd !lad he
not prefumed he would have brought himself in
order by concluding with a M. tica.
The CHANCELLOR of the Excatespat raid, he
thought it material, after what had pallid, that
lonic notice fhcald be takcn by him of the mil
slaternent to which the f-lon. Gentleman had allud-
ed. He knew it had produced a very great fen-
flti .n it certainly was a great mifreprefentation,
and the very reverie of what fell fiom him on
Friday night.
The Houfe patted to the Order of the day.
CIVIL LIST.
Mr.Bßeccs brought up the Report of the Corn.
mittee to whom the accounts relative to the Civil
Lill were aeferred.
The CHANCELLOR of the Excrorosta (aid, he
fuppofed it was not the with of the Houfe to have
the Report read—lf it was their pleafure, he would
move that it fhould be printed, and if the copies
could he delivered by Thurfday, he willed to give
notice he thould, on Monday next, move to refer
the accounts to the Committee of Supply. He
defired the Houle would nnderßand this notice as
merely given provisionally. He moved, that the
book containing an account of SpecialtService Mo-
ney, and Royal &unities, which had been refer-
red to the Committee, should now be returned to
the Lords Commiffioners of the Treafury. The
motion, after fome objection from Mr. TIERNEY,
was agreed to.
VACCINt INOCULATION.
Admiral BARCLAY Paid, he held in his hand a
Petition front a perfon to whom not only this coun-
try, but Europe in general, was indebted for a dif-
coveryi which went to eradicate one of the moll
penitential diforders with which the human race
were antiaed. He alluded to Dr. Edward Jen-
oer, the author of the Vaccine Inoculation. He
had given the benefit of his difcovery to the public,
when, if he had adopted a lefs liberal line of con-
dua, he might have realifed a princely fortune.—
Out of thoufands who had benefited by it, Doaor
Jenner was the only perfon who had not reaped
any advantage. The Hon. Member read a letter
from the Secretary of a Committee appointed by
the Republic of France, Rating the importance of
the difcovery, and the advantage likely to refult
from it.
The Sreattea informed the Hon. Memlser, that
as the period for prefenting private Petitions had
elapfed, he mutt prefent a previous Petition, pray-
ing for leave to prefent the one now offered.
CORN RLGULATION.
The CHANCELLOR of the Excl., patron raid, he
role ptirfuant to the intimation he had given to the
Houle, to move for a Committee to examine the
Rate of the Corn Trade between Great Britain and
Ireland. In making regulations upon this fubjea,
it appeared to him that there ought to be a free
intercourfe between the two Countries, that they
Should have the means of adminillering to each
others wants, and that the deficiency cutting in
tome parts, might be fupplied by the abundance
which exilled in others, and if it were neceffitry to
impoh any reftriaions, they ought to be of a ge-
neral; and not of a partial nature. In regulating
the concerns of England and Wales, when that
Country was annexed to England, or at lean in a
very Ihort time after, the great objea of our An-
tennas was to identify the two Countries. The
fame policy was adopted at the period of the Union
between England and Scotland, and it mull be
the with of every man who wished well to the Em-
pire at large, that the fame policy should prevail
between Great Britain and Ireland. The fat was,
that for reafons which it was not neceffary now to
advert to, in the article ofCorn, there was a pro-
digions difference between the two Countries.—
There were many inftances in which the price of
Grain in Ireland had been nearly double the price
of the fame fort of Grain in Great Britain, and
this had arifen from the operation of Laws which
had been thought wife and expedient when they
were adopted. They were enaaed at a time when
Ireland was a feparate kingdom, and when it was
of great importance for the Legiflature of that
Country to give every facility to cultivation. By
thele Laws the export price of Wheat was fixed at
455. a quarter ; of Rice and Barley, 231. a quar-
ter; and Oats, 15s. 9d. a quarter. Hellateti the
price by Om quarter inilead of the barrel, in order
to make it more intehigible. But he contended,
that even if Ireland were now a feparate kingdom,,
Chef! priced ought not to continue. They were
fTed under very different circomilances, and when
the prices of Grain were much lower than they
ncw were, and therefore, even if the Union had
not taken place, fame alteration ought to be
made in them. He knew bow difficult it was.'
upon filch a fubjeil as this, to make a great
change by the immediate adoption of a new prin.
however incontellable the wifdom of it
mig!it be. Upon all general principles it would
he wife to get rid of all dillinaions refpeaing
Corn between Great Britain and Ireland, as had
been done in the cafe of Scotland ; :Ind that no ,
more &Illation ought to fubfil between them
than between any two counties of Great Britain.
There were, however, independent of the preju-
dices which mutt prevail upon fuch a fubjet, fome
• circumftances peculiar to Ireland, which were
entitled to confederation. It might be apprehend-
ed,
that in the event of a preffure from a fcarcity,
that the Capital of England would draw a great
proportion of the grain from Ireland. There was
oil.° another circurailance that deferved to be con-
sidered, 'which was, that the means provided in
this country for the relief of the poor did not JO-
fill in Ireland, there being-no poor-rate there.—
Therefore, upon loch a lubjea, it would be ne—
ceffary to move cautiously, fearfully, and with a
degree of circumfpeaion upon a lubjea which
might be fuppofed, in fome intlances, to prevent
the Poor of Ireland from getting their fond at
reNfonable prices. There being no Poor-rate in
Ireland, the labourer bad nothing to depend upon
but his own earning, and the liberality and bene-
volence of his neighbours. At the fltme time he
could not help laying there mull have been a de-
free of prejudice in entertaining the idea that the
acility of exportation of corn from Ireland into
this country would be injurious to the People of
