PARLIAM.ENTARr PROCEEDINGS.

MOUSE OF COMMONS, FEBRUARY 6.

STANDING ORDESS.
Mr. LEFETRE moved the Order of the Day for
the renewal of the adjourned Debate of Wednef-
day laft, upon the queftion, "That it is an high
infringement of the liberties and privileges of the
Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Bri-
tain and Ireland, for any Lord of Parliament, or
Lord-Lieutenant or Governor of any County,
to interfere or concern himfelf in- the ele&ion of
any Member to Terve in Parliament." He ob-
ferved, that, in looking back to the Journals of
the Houfe, it appeared that this Standing Order
as applicable to the Parliament of Great -Britain,
had been in force for upwards of too years ; he
therefore trufted that the Houfe would not agree
to any alteration with regard to its application
to the Parliament of the United Kingdom. He
concluded by moving the Refolution.
Sir CHARLES MorcaH raid, he entertained no
doubt as to the object of the Order, but he thought
it would be better to omit any reference whatever
to Ireland, till after the Committee appointed to
confider what Orders and Regulations were ne-
ceffary to be made, in confequence of the Union,
fhould have made their Report. With this view
he fhould propofe an amendment, the terms of
which, he hoped, would prove fatisfa&ory to the
Houfe t the amendment was, "That it is an high
infringement of the liberties and privileges of the,
Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Bri-
tain and Ireland, for any Lord of Parliament, or
Lord-Lieutenant of any County. in that part of
the United Kingdom called Great Britain, to
, avail himfelf of any authority derived from the
Crown, to influence the elation of any Member
to ferve in Parliament."
Mr. Jonurron vprofeffed he entertained great
doubts bow far it would be proper to alter a Re-
Solution that bad been too years on the Journals.
He had no difficulty in faying, if any inconve-
nience arofe, in eonfequence of the Order, to
Members who were Lord-Lieutenants, it would
be better they fhould refign the fititations they had
derived from the Executive Government, rather
than that precaution our anceftors had thought
neceffary to fecure the freedom of eleaiorte mould
be infringed. •
Mr. Yours raid, he thought the alterattmi
commended on the former day, when this fubjek;
was brought forward, went to defeat the fpirit of
the order; but be was now inclined to think, that
the amendment propofed by the Hon. Baronet,
fo far from altering the Refolution, was in con-
firmation of the opinion given on that day from
the Clink. The obvious meaning of the order
was, that no Lord-Lieuttnant fhould, by virtue
of his authority, base any influence in controuling
the eletStion of Members to ferve in this Houfe.
By the manner in which the amendment was
worded, any Gentlemikwho was a Commoner,
and happened to be a Lord-Lieutenant of a
County, might aft in his own elation. It would
be extremely hard if a perfon, beCaufe he was a
Lord-Lieutenant, fheuld be obliged to abandon
the honour of reprefenting his County in Parlia-
ment. He was glad an amendment had been
brought forward, which fo clearly explained the
• real objea of the ceder, and he fhould certainly
fupeort it. .
,„ ,
Mr. Bascos Erottbt up the Report of the
Committee appointed to inquire what additional
Orders and Regulations were neceffarp in confe-
(pence of the Union between Great-Britain and
Ireland : it appeared the following Refolutions
bad been agreed to :
Refolved, That it is the opinion of this Com-
mittee, that all perfons who 641 queftion any re-
turn of Members to ferve in Parliament for that
part of the United Kingdom called Ireland, that

do queltical the fame within all days after it Mall
have been returned into the Crown Office of' that
part of the United Kingdom called England. •
Refolved, That it is the opinion of this Com-
mittee, that all perfons who (hall queftion any re-
torn of Members to ferve in Parliament for that

ifued, do queftion the fame within ;4 days after it

mince, chat when any loch Petition (hall be fo
lodged within the time before limited, the raid

cafe no fueh Petition fhall be lodged within the

Orders have been fent from the Admiralty, and
received at Plymouth, for all the Ships of War at
that Port to be immediately. got ready to putto
It is reported that Mr. PITT has fome new pro-
jetl for providing part of the Ways and Means for
the year. As it is manifefi that, through the great
expellee of the war, and its melancholy conti-
nuance, the Income Tax is likely to become a
perpetuity, it has been fuggelled as an expedient
for railing a large fum, that fuch perfons as may
be defirous of buying up their Income Tax !hall be
allowed to do fo at (even or eight years purchafe,
like a life annuity; by which means a calculation
has been made that about twenty millions would
be railed.

Yefterday evening the report of Mr. Prres
relignation was re►ived, and the fame reafon was
affigned as on the former occafion; namely, a
difference in the Cabinet on the queftion of the
emancipation of the Cathqjics. It was added
aro that Mr. DUNDA3 had refignecl ! The latter
circumftanoe was fufficient to difcredit the (late-
ment entirely ; it was, however, circulated with
great induftry, and many were inclined to give it

Credit. •
There feems to be little queftion about a diffe-
rence in fentiment on the above queftion esifting
among the Members of Adminiftration, but whe-
ther of an irreconcilable nature time muft thew.
Lord CAST LIISAG H has, it is &id,. given notice'
to his friends in Ireland, and in this Country, that
it is his intention to move very fhortly in the
Houfe of Conimons foi the furpenfion of the Tells
and Difqualifications, which Rill affelt the Civil
State of the Roman Catholics in Ireland. It is
faid, that the Noble Lord finds himfelf pledged
to bring forward this meafure, as it was by this
promife and engagement he obtained the concur-
rence of the Catholic interefhe the Union.

Upon the other band, we hear it is infilled upon
by a majority of his Majetly's Minifters, that the
meafure is highly dangerous and premature in the
prefent Elate of things. and before the favoura-
ble effeas of the Union Mall hale been fufficiendy
experienced in alum circumflances, which are ab-
folutely neceffary to precede and to prepare for
this alteration.

The Earl of CLAIR, the Chancellor of Ireland,
is at the head of the party which is for delaying the
com2lete emancipation of the Catholics , bur doubts
fill more ferions and enuAlls difficult of folution
bate occurrcd in the gigheft place, whether the

r•

coact Ton in Tuition be not altogether at variance
and irrecoacileable with that, article of the Corona,'
tion Oath, by rhich his MAJESTY is bound to de-
fend and maintain the Protefiant Religion.
It were premature to enter into the dircuffion of
a queilion which involves confiderations of an ab.
Ilraaed and peculiar nature, farther than to (late
our individual expedation that this objettion will
not prove unfurmountable.• The policy of imme-
diate emancipation from the TeR Acts is more dif-
ficult to be reconciled with the faith of this coun-
try, if it has been pledged by the Marquis Coati-
WALLIS and Lord CASTLEREAGH.

His MAJESTY'S Council mutt be deeply embar.
railed by the dilemma in which they are placed.
between acceding to a meafure which they may
confider dangerous, and violating a promifc fo
suddenly given by a competent Authority, that it
mull he regarded as National in the fulleft and
a
MOK comprchenfive fenfe. But Lord, CASTLE-
R EAG H cannot certainly be cenfured for taking the
only means in his power to redeem his pledge
1 with the Irifh Catholics, and to obtain for them
the condition he promifed as the Miniller for Ire-
land. Mr. Purr, it is believed, will fecond and
fupport his Motion.
• The fono;.ving is the Clank alluded to : it vns introduced
into the Coronation Oath after the abdication of James the
Szeatur, and touland for the Srft time to King WILLIAM—
" Will you to the atmoft of your power maintain the Laws of
GOD, the true profeffion of the Gapel, and the Proteßant re-
formed Religion as by Law efladdithed r—Anfwer : " I will."

Bifftop Busse Ley in his continuation of Sins,
lays, that " when the yellow fever raged in the
Well Indies, the negroes, with a tub of tar water
in their quarters, did well ; but fome of the better
fort mitearried, among whom the phyfician him-
fell lay at the point of death. His brother reco-
vered him, however, by pouring down his throat,
in fpoonfuls, fome f the fame liquor that reco-
vered the negroes." This fad he derives from a
gentleman in the ifland of St. Chriftopher.—
