INTERCHANGt OF GRAIN WITH IRELAND.

Sir J. NEWPORT rofe with peculiar fatisfallinn
on the prefent occafinn, as he was convinced it would
be fufficiant merely to Oate the megfure of which he
had given notice, to enfui e the full concurrence of the
Houle. This meafure, in which he was fupported by
the authority of his Majefly's Minifters, went to lay
open the intercourfe in grain between Great Btilein

and Ireland, and, he trufled, it would be merely a
prelude to that free interchange of every other comma.
dity between the two countries, which was fo much
to be defired. With regard to grain, an article of
the frit neceffity, there could be no doubt, that one
part of the United Kingdom fhould AMA another,
whenever occafion demanded it : and the only way of
preventing an undue rife in the price of the commodity
in any part of the country, was to remove every limit
and obfiruftion in the way of its interchange. The
meafitre which he Ihould propofe would place all the
ports of the United Kingdom exaßly on the fame
footing with regard to importation or exportation, as
the different ports of Great Britain were at precept
with regard to one another. It was carnally to be
wifhed, that the union between the two countries
mould become every day more clofe, and that the
channel which divided them mould no longer be con-
fidered as a barrier, but as a bond of union, and the
medium of mutual and beneficial intercourfe. He
then moved for leave to bring in a Bill, for making
the intercourfe in grain between Great Britain and
Ireland free and unrellrained.

Mr. FOSTER Paid, this meaftire was agitated in
1783, and afterwards in 1797, and very flrong preju.
dices were found to exift spina it in the minds of
many perfons, and particularly farmers, in this coon•
try. It remained, therefore, for the Right Hon.
Gentleman to confider whether it was likely thofe
prejudices were now done away, or bad fublided, fo
as to render it available ? If they were, be &Gold
certainly not ()Nal to the Bill.
The motion was then ordered to be referred to a
Committee of the whole Houfe on Thurfdv.
Mr. FOSTER gave notice, that he fhuuld on
Thurfday move for certain papers refpeaing the Cern
Trade of Ireland.
Sir. J. NEWPORT brought up the Irifli Malt and
Spirits Duty hill.—Read a firft time, and ordered to
be read a fecond on Thurfday.

CHILSWA HOSPITAL.
Lord CASTLEREAGH then role, to move for
certain papers refpeaing Chelfea Holpital, which he
thought it extremely material for the Houfe to be in
poffellion of, before they entered on the difeufflon of
the propofed changes in the penfions to be given to
foldiers. From thefe papers it would appear, that
the Houfe was called upon to new-model a benefac-
tion which ought to have originated from the Crown.
The new meafure would alfo materially affect the
rights of property which had been veiled in a corpo-
rate body. He then moved, that there be laid before
the Houfe a copy of the Charter, and Regulations
of Chelfea Hofpital, together with the returns rf the
number of In and Out-Penfloners, and of the expenee
attending them : alfo a flatement of the Revenue of
the Hofpital for the lan year, with an account of its
fources.
