C•LL Or THI HOUSI.

Colonel Gascoic of a then rofe with an intention,
be Paid, to move for a Call of the Houfe. He
Was not litre whether it was quite continent with
the common forms of proceeding, to make a mo-
tion of this kind without having. given any pre-
vious notice, but in the prefent critical (late of the
country he thought there forms were not to be too
rigoroufly adhered tn. Every fucceeding day
events of tke molt alarming nature were taking
place, both abroad and at home, and the attend-
ance of every Member of the Legidative Body
ought to be rigoroufly enforced. It had been laid,
that it was impoffible to compel the attendance of
thofe who wilhed to be abfent ; but he could fee
no rcafon why the abufe of a meafure fhould be
urged as an argument againft it. If the Repre.
fentatives of the People would not be forced to do
their duty, it was full time for the Legiflature to
think of deviling means to fiipply fuch a defect.
Out of 655 Members, it appeared by the book
that not more than 410 had yet taken their feats.
Not one half of the Irifh Members had yet been
(worn in, though the intere its of that country were
fo much at nape in the difeuffions about to com-
mence. If it was inclilPenlibly necelfary that no-
tice Mould be given, he fhould defer his motion
till to-morrow. In the mean time he fhould con-
clude by moving, " That the Houle be called
over this day three weeks."
The Motion being feconded, the Speaker im-
mediately put it from the Chair, and it was car-
ried without a divilion.
It was afterwards ordered, That every Member
who was abfent after that day without a fufficient
mute, lhould be taken into cuflody.

SIPIDITION TO PERIM!.
Lord HAWKIIIVILY raid, He hoped the Honour-
able Gentleman who had given notice of a Motion
with regard to the Expedition to Ferrol, would
confent to put it off for a day or two. Two
Right Hon. Friends of his (Meas. Pitt and Dun-
das-) were necelFarily abfent ; and it was of great
confequence that they Should be in their places
when this difcuffinn took place.
• Mr. STORY Lid, His Motion was of fuch a °a.
cure that it ought not to be delayed for a Tingle
hour. He lamented the caufe of the abfcnce of
the two Right Hon.. Gentlemen alluded to, hut he
did 'not feel thitt their prefence was necelfary.
There was one of 'his Majefly's Miniflers prefent,
and he obferved feveral Officers who had a confi-
derable lharc in the tranfaetion. There would
give fatisfaeory information tipoit the"fuhjed, and
that was all that lie required. However, if it
i was the fenfe of the Houle that he Should pollpone
his Motion, he was ready to de fo, though he ca..
taint y could not without great inconvenience to
bimfelf.
Sir Jamts PULTEMET fold, He no doubt felt
eonfiderably intenefted in this butinefs. He anti-
oully wifhed that an inquiry Should be inffituted.
A day or two however would not make much dif-
ference to him, provided he were certain that the
Motion would be made. He would much rather
that the difcuffion Should come on now, but he
Should facri6ce his perfonal feelings to the conve-
nience oldie Houle.
Mr. DVDLIY RYDER laid, As it teemed to be
the with of the Houle that the difeuffion Should
not then come on, he hoped the Him: Gentleman
would defer his Motion to a future day. The ab.
fence of his two Right Hon. Friends was not acci
dental or voluntary ; all knew that they willed
their condiu% to be canvaffed, and that for many
years they had never once Shrunk from difetiffion:
It the intervention of a f,civ days could give any

advantage to them, or place the Hon. Moyer 'in
a more unfavourable fituation, then for fuch an
infinuation there might be fume ground. In Co,
their abfence was occalioned by other cireum.
fiances, which it was impollible for him to freely,
but which were notorious to the whole Houfe.
The prefent queftion was by no means preding,
and no harm could arife from the difettffion of it
being a short time deferred. He then moved,
a That the Houfe Ihoold then adjourn."
At that moment the Gentleman tither of the
Black Rod entered, and fummoned the Houfe to
attend in the Houfe of Peers.
The Srsaise, attended by feveral Members,
accordingly went up and remained there for abrivt
ten minutes. Upon his return he laid he Nara
the Royal Arent given by commiffion to the Bill
for regulating the manner of making meal from
barley, oats, and rye.
Mr. STURT, who in the mean time had beer
engaged in converfation with Lord Hawkdbury,
then faid that he tbould yield to the withes of the
Gentlemen on the other fide of the Houfe. How.
ever, he was anxious that the difcitlEon fhottld
come on the very firft open day, Thurfday being
mentioned to him, he Paid he fhould certainly
make his Motion on that day, and he trolled that
no fimilar application would a fecond time be
made to him.

Mr. GREY raid, be hoped it was underftood that
on Thttrfday the Houfe would certainly refujne
its deliberations, which had been thus ilrangely
forpended. He hoped the Houk wonid then emu.
into u difcuffion of the paft meafures of Govern.
meat, and that the enquiry would be carlied on
with difpatch. No time was to be loft; perfese.
ranee in fuch meafures but for a fhort time longer
would inevitably prove our ruin, and an expolure
of paft errors could alone prevent the repetition of
them. No farther delay, he theretwu traffic:,
would be Milted from any motive, o. under any
pretext. The Houfe had been called upon to re.
frain from difcuffion tii-day rather in an extraor-
dinary manner. There had been a rumour
fome days of a great and important change in his
Majefty's Cabinet; but it was but a rumour, and
for the change no adequate reafon had been
aligned. After complimenting Mr. Start fur his
candour and politenefs, Mr. Grey concluded by
' raying, he felt the difficulties of the country to
firongly, and be was fo much alarmed at the in-
creating dangers which threatened us, that on
Monday next, he 'honk move for a Committee to
enquire into the State of the Nation.
The SICRRTARY at WAR prefented the Army
Eftimates which were ordered to be printed.
Several from the Board of Ordnance
were laid on the Table.
Mr. Rosa Paid, he wished the Honourable Gen-
tleman who had given notice of a Minion for Mor-
day, to obferve that on that day the Army and
Navy Eftimates mull be voted, as on the 18th,
his Right Honourable Friend was to open !h,_.
Mfr. Gass, fad, that fubjea probably v oild
not occafiori much difenfflon find he w 11 ould ,7s
an opportunity to make his Motion after the liar:
ners was over. At any rate he Milted his notice en
Rand for the day he had mentioned.
The Rev. Dr. Paossre was appointed topresa
before the flour; on Friday.-rAdjetutted.

The changes in the Cabinet are the fubjen of
general converfation; but already it has 101 l much
of its intereil with many. 'llo' Compare it to a
few paltry arrangements in a Cismrnercial
cem, where the managing partner, for the fake of
country air, turns ont-door rider for a time, acid
another partner takes the lead, without the Public
feeling the bufinefs of the houfe go on either better
or worfe as to their accommodation.
Yefierday Mr. AIIII•IIAM NIPLAND, from the
Bank of England, read the following Paper at the
Stock Exchange.:
The Governor of the Bank is dented to give
public notice, that, although the prefent Cmaxcri.
Loa of the Excieso,pla is about to retire tom
office, it is not his intention to refign until the new
Adminiftration is formed, and qualified to execute
its public duties ; and that he will raife the Sup
plies for the current year at the time he intenekci,
as if fuch event had not taken place."
The. Candidates for the Loan are to wait upon
Mr. PITT on Thurfday 'nest, to know the amount
that he intends to fund for the fervice of the cur-
rent year, and to converk on the preliminaries (
the contract.
It Appeari therefore that Mr. PITT is to con-
tinue in his place till after the it Sth infant, as ee
yefterday Rated, to open his Bueiget, and pro-
cure the Supplies' for the new 4thiggittraticw.
Mr. ADDIIIIOTOW in the mean time may be rum-
mooed to attend the Cabinet as a''rivy Council-
lor (the Cabinet being no more than a Committee
of the Privy Council), without vacating his
feat; or a writ may be moved for him ori the
nominal place of the Chiltern Hundreds; in
which cafe it will be only asecifiry that be
should receive bis appointment as Cteamcat.t.oit
of the Excietvea, and kifs bands oo the day of
