SrATS Oi Tiii LITION.

Lord GRENVILLE, on teeing the Earl of DARN-
Lev in his place, obferved that it was proper, on
precifely the fame grounds the Houfe had judged
it neceffary, on a former evening, namely, on
confederations of Public Service, that the Noble
Earl's intended Motion fhould be further deferred.
He would therefore propofe, that the Order for
taking it into confideration on Friday fe'unight
be ditcharged, and renewed for the following
•
Monday.
The Earl of DARNLEY laid, that having come
forward, as he trufted it was obvious he did, foie-
ly upon public grounds, it was with great reluc-
tance he agree to poftpone a difcutlion involving
points of the lall importance, which he thought
could not be brought forward too early. He re-
mained precifely in the fame opinion he did on a
former night ; indeed the events of the interval
only ferved to fortify him in it. However, be
would now fay, as he had then, that did the ge-
neral fenfe of the Houfe appear in favour of pott-
poning it, agreeably to the with of the Noble
Lord, he had no objection to the Order being dlf-
charged in the way propofed.
Lord HOLLAND rote, and with a confiderable
degree of warmth, contended for the neceflity bf
going into the propofed Inquiry on as early a day
as poffible. He fcrioufly recommended his Noble
Friend, not to agree to the propofed delay. He
infifted, that the Country had been brought into
circumßances of unprecedeited calamity and pe-
ril ; it was obvioully neceffary, therefore, that a
folemn and carnet inveßigation fhould be inflittit-
ed into the caufes of thefe dangers and difireffes,
and to afcertain the authors of them—The ru-
mours of important changes in the Adminiftration,
or the Councils of his Majefty, Mould be an
additional incitement to that Houfe to imitate the
Inquiry, and Rill more, if thefe changes were
about to take place on the grounds ;aligned to
them by report. —lt was full time that the
Houfe fhould Rep forward, or, as may be, in con.
junftion with the other Houle of Parliament, to
the Inquiry, to lift the fubjesl to the bottom—to
difeufs boldly and manfully, the interefting topics
that prefented themfelves—,-to confider the fatal
confequences which may ante from an inefficient
Adminiaration, and above all, if the divifions and
changes in the Councils of Adminiftration preced-
ed the agitation of the Catholic queßion, the con-
duet of Minifters refpeeing which, on a former
occafion, canted, or at leaft was one of the caufes,
of all the devaltation and bloodthed which had
taken place in the Sifter Kingdom. While the
meafure of the Union was on its progrefs through
Parliament, he had repeatedly preffed Minifters in
that Houfe, relative to the great queftion of the
Catholics. He had called upon them explicitly
to Rate what thefe People had to expert in the
event of a Union ; he had repeatedly expatiated
upon the importance of that point, and had (hewn
that the caufe of calamity in one inflance might
produce it on a future occafion.—About this part
of the obfervations delivered by the Noble Lord
to the above efeft,

His Royal Hiihnefs the Duke of Cssatera
rote to order. He fubmitted it with deference to
the Houk, whether the propofal of the Noble Lord
near him, for the difcharge of an order, and to
poftpone it for two or three days, would bear out
the Noble Lord in the line of obfervation in which
he was proceeding ?
Lord HOLLAND faid, that no Peer could more
cheerfully fubmit to the Orders of the Houfe on
all due occasions than himfelf ; but he would beg
leave to obferve, with all poffible deference to the
llluftrious Perfonage who had deemed it proper
to call him to order, that he conceived himfclf
peril-dig in order. He was about to give an idea
of the awful fituation in which the country was{
placed, and the neceffity of immediate inquiry into
the caufes of it. He was proceeding to illuftrate
the relation which the circumaances of Ireland,
with refpeft to the Catholic Q.yeftion, bore to the
precife point then under the confideratioa of the
Houfe,when___

His Royal Highnefs rote again, and moved the
Order for the exclufion of Strangers; which was
of courfe enforced, and which neceffarily precludes
us from detailing the remainder of the converfa-
tion. As we could the affair terminated in
a slit/aloe the numbers of which were—For pofl-
clot the Order for furamoning the Peers upon
DARMLIT'A intended Motion, 35.--Againft
it, S.—Majority, ay.
Lord Gaisvei.t.a then moved for the revival of
the Committee to inquire into the Dearth of Pro.
vifions, which was agreed to, with the alteration
only of the Duke of Athol, in the room of the
Duke of Bedford.

The Duke of Bit:WOAD then moved—

That this Houfe, having taken Into their confideration the
Report of the Committee of the Lan Seffiens of Palbarman,
• to take into confide:talon fo much of kis IViajefty's Speech
as related to the Dearth of Prowllions," are of opinlc.n with
the Committee, that one of the molt effeetual mesterei to pre-
vent a recurrence of a Deficiency of Grain will be, by giving
&Mei encouragement to inclolbres in general, and particularly
of Waite and Uncultivated Lands.
• That this Refolution be referred to the Paid Connyttee ;
and that they be latituded to take into their carbcft confide,
ration, and report to the Houle, the belt means of carrying
the fame into &at.
The Motion was feconded by Lord CARRIMC.
rox, and agreed tn, ,tem. aJ
The Duke of BEDFORD next moved, " That
the Bill he had introduced for the relief of a cer-
tain defcription of Poor," be read a fecond time.
The fame was read accordingly, and committed
for Monday nest.—Adjourns& •
