_Lord ACING called to the recolleCtion of their I
Lorelfhipl what had fallen from him on a former
evening, relative trs the Sufeenti,ln of the Habeas
Corpus Aft in Ireland, and the went difc:ctionary
power vetted in the Crown in confer:pence. It being
in agization to renew the meafure, as one of very
qoeitionable importance, he thought that adequate
reafons fhould be affigned for it. W:th that view,
he called for the information which was Rated in his
motion on a former night. He erpreffed his hope
the Noble Secretary of State had, upon further con-
fideration, altered his opiiii-n upon the point, and
would agree to the produftion of the information
required. His Loratip then propofed his motion,
(imam- to that offered on a former night; the lead-
ing point was, That an account of the conditions
on which fuch perfons as were liberated froM confine-
ment under the Sufpcnfion of the Habeas Corpus
Aft, were difcharged, he laid before the Honk."
Lor.l HAWKESBURY replied, that the more
he had confidered the point, the more confirmed he
was in his objeftions to fuch a prccee;:ing. The N,l-
- Secretary then repeated his obfervations on the
former occalion, as to the dangerous tendency, in
various points of view, of making the difelofure re-
quired ; this, he thought, In obvioufly the cafe, that
rie did not with to take up their Lordlips' time is
further defcanting upon the fobjeft.
Lord GRENVILLE argn,:d in favour of the pro-
duftion defircd, as, without it, ti,e Houle would be
at a lnfs v.-bether or not the King's fervants made a
wife or beneficial ufe of the diCerci ionary powers veil-
ed in them by the Aft of Sofpenfion. In fait, that
part of the information required by his N. ble Friend,
was by far the moll important of the whole, and on
which, in a great degree, the whole merits of the
quettion would depend.
The Marquis of SLIGO affired the Noble Lord,
that unfortunately there were many circumflances
locally known to Gencernen hatitnally refidert 1:1
Ireland, which if equally well known to the Noble
Lord, would convince him of the imprudence of corn-
, plying with that part of the motion objected to by the
Noble Secretary.

Lord KING replied, eio he Ind not heard a fingle
argument to difprove to hi.r the propriety of his ton-
tio6 ; on the contrary, the argument ufed by the No
ble Nl:minis convinced him the more Ilrongly, that
as Ireland was a distant member of the Empire, it
would be farther from the coat-outing vigilance of
Parliament, and, confequently, the more liable to
ablife, : inquiry, of courfe, became the more indif
penrible, and he could not agree to the aruendme-t.
The queflien, however, was put, and Lord Hawkef
hury's .amendment carried ; after which, the motion,
lb amended, paired in the affirmative.

BANK NOTES.

Lnrd KING then gave nntice tf his intention to
move on to-morrow, for an Account of the Quantity
of Bank Notes in circulation from the Banks nr Eng-
land and Ireland, diflinguithing tticife under 51. Alfo
for an Account of the bunts of Mon.‘. remitted from
England to Ireland in the laft year by Govzrnment,
with the rates of exchange charged thereon. This
with a view to enquire into the me:4litre, adopted for
lowering the rates of exchange in -..tvottr of Ireland.
Some private bufinefs was then difpofed of, and a
few witneffes (worn. A number of witnefies had at-
tended the greater part of the ercning for the put.-
pore of being fworn wish relpen to their propofed
evidence before the Commi:iee of their Lord hips,
on the matters alledged agaidt Mr. Juftice Fox.—
Some of their names were called; WI the Gentlemen
in general having retired before the difenflions of the
evening ended, the Clerk expreired his with that they
