• HOlaa TAR.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUEIit iar
formed the Houk, that, upon looking into the Bin
fur levying a ditty upon Horfes, it was found that it
would be impoffible to divide it. as he had propofed
doing on a fcrmer night. The body of the Bill con-
tained nothing but matter of regulation which might
apply, generally, to the collection of the dnty on any
defcription of hones. Thr amount of the Tax was
afterwards fpecified in a Schedule. He ihould, there.
fore, move that the Duty upon Agricultural Horfes
be expunged kpro the Schedule. as that appeared to
be the exceptionable part ; and he would afterwards
bring in a feparate Bill for the levying of that Tax.
The Bill, as far as it relates to the Tax upon all other
,Hooks but thofe employed in purples of huibandry,
was then paired through a Committee of the whole
Knufe, and the report was ordered to be received on
Monday next.

CALICO PUNTERS.
Mr. P. MOORE prefented a petition from the
journeymen calico printers of Lancafbire, Chefhire,
Derby&ire, Cumberland, Lanark, Renfrew, and
1 other counties in England and Scotland, complain-
ing of certain grierancei to which they are fubjee
in confecptence of the condua of their employers.
The Honourable Member hated that it was not
his obit& at prefent to propofe that the petition fhould
be referred to a Committee, but merely that it fhould
lie on the table. It was indeed his hope and wifb
that the mailers fhould agree, to an amicable adjuft-
ment of their differences with the petitioners. An
Honourable Friend of his (Mr. Sheridan) had, in
the courfe of the IA Selfions, called the attention of
the Httofe to this fubjea, and at that time expreffed
the fame hope which he entertained at prefent.
though that hope of his Honourable Friend had not
yet been gratified, ftill it was his with, and that of the
petitioners, to leave a further opening for fuch a let-
dement as might render any further proceeding upon
this petition unneceffAry. This he felt to be extreme-
ly defirable, and the petitioners felt it alfo ; for no.
thing could be further from their with than to profe-
cute any litigious difeufllon with the matters. If the
matters would meet them with a congenial fpirit, the
matters to which the petition referred might, he was
fatisfied, be very tartly fettled in a friendly manner.
Should no fuch fettlement take place, he pledged
himfelt adively to profecute the object of the peti-
tion.

Mr. SHERIDAN Paid thatte was well acquaint-I
ed with the nature of the cafe to which the petition
prefented by his Honourable Friend referred. It was
a cafe of the higheß importance to jußice, and the
intereft of the petitioners, who were moll feverely
aggrieved. He had thought it his duty to call the
attention of the Houle to this fubjeet in the eourfe of
laR Seffions, and he was very lorry to End that the
amicable adjuament of the difputes between the
journeymen and the mailers, which he then looked
for, had not taken place. To attain the fair ()Ned
of the petitioners, he pledged himfelf to ufe his et-1
moft endeavours, and from the knowledge he had of
their cafe, he could allure the Houfe that it was on
the (core of juffice, humanity, and national policy,
well worthy their ferious conSderation.

..... .
The petition was ordered to lie on the table for
the perufal of the Members.
THI COMMISSIONM 01 NAVA'. moat.
Mr. GILES rote, purfuant to notice, to move for
leave to bring in a biU to continue the powers of the
above Board. Some Gentlemen might be fur.
priced at teeing him bring in a bill for the continu-
ance of an At, which had been originally brought
into that Houfe by his Majegy's confidential fer-
vants ; Members of the late adminiftration they
doubtlefs were, but many of them now held feats in
his Majelly's Councils. This point would be belt
explained, he thought, by entering into a defcription
of the proceedings under the authority of the At
which is now in exigence, from its commencement to
the prefent period ; this, however, he would do in as
few wads as paffible. On the 29th of December,
Igoe, an at was patted appointing Commigiontrs to
inquire into the abufes in the yarrow departments of
the navy. They have now continued their labours
for upwards of the (pace of two years with the moil
perfevering induftry, the utmog ability that can be
difplayed ins labour of that defcription, and the molt
inflexible integrity. During this time the Commit:
(loners made feveral reports which are now upon the
table of the Houfe. But gill there are many other
objets to which it is of the utmoft importance that
this Board mould turn its attention ; and the Filmic
will recoiled that the duration of the law by which
they are appointed, is limited to the term of two
years, and to the end of the next Sefton of Parliament.
From the circumflance of this Sefton having com-
menced in 'January, 1805, it has become the next Se
(ion according to the meaning, of do At. The
power of the Commiffioners wilf therefore end with
the termination of this Sefton, which leaves the ex-
igence of the Board at the difcretion of the Crown, or
in other words, it would be fubjeEt.to the caprice of the
Minitier. As the inquiries yet to be made by the
Board were of the greateg importance to the public,
he did not think it right that the exigence of the
Board thould depend upon fuch an uncertain tenure.
The Miniger might come down to the Houfe and pro-
rogue the Parliament ; if this prorogation were to ex-
tend but to a tingle day, these would be an end to
all the labours of this highly valuable Board ; there
would be an end to all further inquiry into the fob-
jeft of abufes, which have too long been fuffered to
esig, and which are even now continuing. He did
not mean to fay that this pofigively would be the
cafe ; nor would he go the length of faying, that fuch
an event was even likely to take place ; but he thought
it incumbent on him to endeavour to prevent all
poffibility of filch an occurrence, by requeging the
Houfe to exercife its powers and renew the Aft.—
The Commiffioners, he thought, ought not to be left
in that gate of uncertainty in which they now are
placed ; for, though the adoption of fuch a meafore
as he had alluded to was not certainly to be expeded,
and though the meafure would be in itfelf a bold one,
and the condo& of the Miniger would not be fo dif-
refpelltul to Parliament as it ought to be, yet, when
he confidered the nature of the late change in Admi.
nitration, he could not help ohferving, that if it had
not received any additional vigour, it had gained,
confiderably in bolcincfs--he did not think that it was

'likely to be t refpe&fol to the Hon& as dictate Ad-
Miniaration would have been in a meafure of fimilar
isometanee. He was induced to form tl.i s opinion.
on ,having feen the manner in which a confiderable
of his Majefty's fithjeets had been lately de-
vil
of their liberty. When heftier the precipitancy
. which the Aft for fufpending the Habeas Cor-
pus in Ireland was paffed through that Houfe s when
be obferved that the meafure was fo hurried in the
other Houfe that they adjourned for a few hours on
purpofe that they might receive the Bill, and then
fufpended tome of their own regulations for the fake
of forwarding the meafure ; when he faw that even
then the meafure, if at all neceffary, was agreed to
at fo late a period that the Ad could not poffibly ar-
rive in time at Ireland to aothorife the Judges to a&
upon it before the expiration of the former Ad—
when ke raw the manner in which the Royal Com-
miflion was iffued without any application being made
to that Hoof; he could not entertain a very high
opinion of the Minitter's refpeet for Parliament; and
now that the CommifEoners had fuch important fer•
vices to render the public, ke did not think it right to
leave the exigence of the Board fulled to the will of
Minifters. They had Rill to invefiigate the condo&
of the Comnsiffioners of the Navy, of the Treafurer of
the Navy, of theperfons engaged in the management
of the Winds of the Vidualling Office, and of thofe
conneded with the Tranfport Service ; the manage-
ment of prifoners of war was alto yet to be inquired
into; and it was impoffible that a work of fo much
labour could be ended within the prefent Seffion. He
did not fee that any inconvenience could poffibly re-
fult from the paffing of a Bill to continue the powers
of this Board, as no one would receive any injury
thereby; and, on the other hand, the public fervice
might fuffer materially by a terminaticn being put
to the exigence of a Board which had deteded and
expofed Co many abufes in the different departments
into which they have already inquired, and which
molt probably would render a fimilar fervice to the
public in the invefiigation of the other departments
contra:tad with the Navy which have not been yet ex-
amined into. Gentlemen who oppofed the introduc-
tion of the former Bill, conceiving it to be an unne-
ceffary meafure, could not, he thought, have the
fame reafon to obje& to a Bill being brought in for
the continuance of the powers of the Board, now that
its utility is made manila by the different Reports
which have been laid upon the Table. But thofe
who thought the former Bill was necefary, and who
confequently fupported it, mutt have a much ft ronger
inclination to fupport the prefent Bill, now that
they find that the labours which were allotted to the
Board are far floor being finned ; that feveral of the
molt important fubjeds which the Houfe direded to
be inveftigated, have not yet been touched on by the
Board, or at lea that they have not yet had time to
report them to that Houfe ; and from the length of
time which the others have taken, it is not by any
means probable that this can be done within the pre-
fent Seffion. He was induced to• make the motion
which he new Cul:omitted to the Houfe, principally
from a recolledion that the predeceffor f the prefent
Minifter had declared that it was the intention of his
Majefty's Miniftets to make fpecific motions upon
the fubjed of the different Reports which have been
prefented to the Houle. There motions have not
been made, nor is there any notice given of any in-
tention fc to do ; and, if it had not been for the mo-
tion of his Hon. Friend (Mr. Creevey) the Houle
would not now be in poffeffion of an pofitive infor-
mation as to the exigence of the Royal Commiffion.
But, if Minifiers think proper to withhold their Cup-
port from this Bill, they cannot Cay that there is not
evidence before them of the exigence of dhoti; they
have at lealt much better ground than that of Rublic
outoriety, upon which they have thought fit latOly to
fu(pend the liberties of his Majefty's ((skit Rs. He
therefore could with confidence conclude with mov-
ing, that leave be given to bring in a Bill for the
continuance of the Powers of the Commitlioners of
Naval Inquiry.
As Coon as the Motion was put from the Chair,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
role. to Rate his objections to the Motion. He could
not fee that the Ileps which the Hon. and Learned
Gentleman recommended, were at all proved to be
oecelfary. He, for his part, had no with to deny
that the labours of the Commiffion for inquiring into
Naval Abufes, had been produdive of important ad-
vantages, and he withed it to be underftood that he
gave no opinion as to the policy of renewing the pc.
trod of their invefiigations if fuch a prolongation
fhould be found requsfite previous to the clofe of the
Seffion. If at that time it fhould be found necatry
to extend the powers of the Commillion in conk-
queue of their being unable to complete the work
entruficd to them, then it would be a matter for the
eonlidaation of the Houfe to what farther period
they fhould be extended. At prelate., however, the
matter was not preffing, and he thought there was
no cafe made out for the interference of Parliament.
The Honourable and Learned Gentleman had ar-
gued a great deal from the idea rat the labours of
the Conuniffion could not by any poffibility be finifhed
before the Seffion was finithed, and had alluded to
feveral important points, which (till remained to he
inveftigated. Of thefe fubjeds, the condo& of the
Vitualling Board was one of great confequence, and
he would not deny that it was deferving of very fe-
rioos inquiry. The Houfe, however, -had no evi-
dence bthre them, to thew that the Commiffion were
not already confiderably advanced in inquiries, both
on this and feveral other queltions that remained to
be confidered. For any thing that the Houfe could
know to the contrary, thefe inquiries might be nearly
completed, though the reports were not alually pre-
fented. On this ground there was no proof that the
inquiries of the Commillion would occupy a period
beyond what the Salon might be expected to em-
brace. The Honourable and Learned Gentleman
had thought proper to allude to another Cominiffion,
which he confidered as difrefpedful to the Houle,
though it was not very eafy to fee on what fuch an
opinion was founded. The object of that Comtnillion
was to carry into died every improvement which the
Reports of the other Commifflon had fuggelied. It
was rather fingular, therefore, to hear it afferted.
time Comm:ffion profelfedly appointed for purports
of reform, was at all to be viewed as difrefpetful to
the dignity. or difcordant with the duties of Parlia-
ment. Seeing no teafon then for preffing the Hon.
and Learned Member's Motion at prefent, and con- 1
ceiving, that if the circumltances of the cafe required
it, there would be full oppottunity afforded for re-

newing the term of the CommilTion, Lc fcit it ;nem.
bent on him now to conclude, by moving the other
Orders of the Day.
Mr. JAMES MARTIN profclTed the utmoß re-
fpea for the late Fira Lord of the Admiralty, and
declared, that in his opinion, hi; exertions to reform
the abufes in the Naval Department were highly me-
ritoriotts. From the time he had flat direded any
part of his attention to public affairs, he had ken
reafon to believe, that naval abufes of the moa fla-
grant defcriptinn exilled, and the Noble Lord de-
ferred the gratitude of his country for his endeavours
to extirpate them. The Noble Lord had fought our
battles abroad bravely, fuccefsfully, and fkilfully,
and not fatisfied with tbefe exertions, be had let
about the reform of abufes which were not only a
difgrace to the Board of Admiralty, but a difgrace
to the very charaaer of the country. He thought
the Commiffion for promoting this great objehl an
excellent one, and he Ihould certainly vote for the
Moti on.

Sir W. ELFORD followed, and animadverted on
the reports of the Naval Commit Son, partly on the
Eighth Report, where the condu& of the Grand Ju-
ry of Devonfbire was feverely condemned. He knew
the Gentlemen compofing that Jury to be Gentlemen
of the higheft refpeetability, integrity, and worth—
Gentlemen whole high fenfe of honour made them
ilrongly affeted by any inlinuations prejudicial to
their characters—[fhre there war a cry that the worthy
Baronet was out of order.]
Mr. FOX contended that he was fbielly in order,
if he bad in view the tota: abolition of the Commif-
Son.

The SPEAKER fuggefied that the Worthy Ba-
ronet was not fiddly out of order : fuch details as
thofe he feemed proceeding on, were not applicable
to the motion for difcharging the original motion.
The CHANCELLOR ot the EXCHEQUER
raid, that if, the Hon. Member wilhed to arraign the
condue of the Comrnitfioners, the regular way would
be to move a day for the confederation of the Reports
on the table.

Sir WILLIAM ELFORD thought himfelf
redly in order. He was only attempting to Thew,
that the Commillion ought not to be continued as it
was at prefent adminiftered. The Reports were
filch, that if publifhed by any authority but that
Houfe, they would be deemed the rankeft libels that
ever were written. In one of them, there was a.
charge againft a Grand Jury of Devon, which, on
enquiry, he had heard was levelled at a Mr. Whit:,,
Sheriff of Exeter, who was accufed of having tam-
pered with the Jury, becaufe Come of his own rela-.
tions were amongft the perfous the Commifiloners.
had ordered to be profecuted.
Mr. SHERIDAN role to Rate that he thought the
worthy Baronet completely in order in the obfet vation*
he had brought forward on the prefent oceafion.—o
The Worthy Baronet had infinuated that the Como
millloners for Naval Inquiry were, in the exercise
the powers entrufled to them, guilty of ads of op .
preflion, and furely if this was his opinion, this wart
the molt (bitable period for Rating it. lithe power*
were ahnfed, it was fair enough to argue that thel
fhould be either curtailed or withdrawn. This watt,
however, no argument to be ufed by thofe who allow -
ed that the Commiffioners had deferred credit fo r
their fidelity in the execution of the truß repofed it t
them, but who would not confent to the ample pro •
pofition of introducing a Bill by which diek power
were to be allowed full operation.
Sir W. ELFORD remarked in explanation, dial
he only Rated what the Bth Report Rated.
Mr. GREY argued that if there was, as the woe
thy Baronet had mfinuated, any fair charge again
the Commiffioners for any of their reports, this w. is
not an evil for which no remedy exifted. If any fee
of men had been injured, they were not without r e-
drefs. If the Commiffioners had been guilty of at ty
aft of oppreffion, the Houfe had the means of pi o-
curing to individuals improperly attacked full retti•
bution. They could either recall or rearain powe rs
which had been illegally or opprefllvely exercifed.-
The Hon. and Learned Gentleman who had intr a-
ducted the difculllon had alluded to a variety of it n-
portal:it fubjefts which rema ned for the invefligatir
of the Commiffloners, and the Right Hon. Gentl e.
man oppofite had not denied that thefe matters wet T
extremely interefting in themfelves, and deferring I if
ferious inquiry. He had, however, thrown out I
hint that there was reafon to hope the inveltigation
might be clofed before the dole of this Seflion. B. it
it was to be kept in view, that the proceedings of the
Commiffioners had already been extremely laborious,
that they had furnifhed many voluminous report s,
and that there was no reafon whatever to fuppofe the it
in the Mort time which might iLiervene, previous to
the termination of the &Mon, there would be time
for bringing their invelligations to a fati sfaftory cot %-
durum. The benefits arifing from the inquiry were
not denied even by the Rign Hon. Gentleman, and
he would appeal to the Houfe whether he was afk-
ing too much when he contended that the full benefit
of Aft authorizing the inquiry Ihould be obtained ?
There was a ftrong probability that, toilers the Bill
was renewed, it would fail of producing that effect
which all feemed to have fo much at heart • and could
any thing therefore he more reafonable than to put
it out of all danger of expiring before it had produced
all that reformation which it was calculated to pro-
duce ? But the motion of his Hon. Friend Rood on
Rill ftronger grounds, if the intention of Parliament
were to be allowed to have any weight. If Parlia-
ment had not met before the zoth of December, the
811 l would have remained in aftivity, and it was not
afking too much to require that the fpirit of the
Ad of Parliament fhould be aded on, and that the
mere accidental circumflance of the delay of the
meeting of Parliament should not interfere in defeat.
ing a great meafure of public improveMent. There
was one Hon. Member in the Houfe (Sir C. Pole)
who had been highly inftrumental in promoting this
important inveftigation, and who, he was confident,
would (tate to the Houle that there was no hope of
finishing the labours of the CommifLoners before the
termination of the Sefllon. He wifhed to have that
Hon. Member's opinion Rated, for it could not fail
to make a powerful impreffion. He was decidedly
in favour of the original motion.
Sir CHARLES POLE faid, there doubtlefs were
many important circutoflances remaining for the
Commiffioners to inveßigate ; and he apprehended
it would take up more time than the prefent Sefton
could afford, to do
,fo. With refpcft to the Aft,
however, it was not originally the intention to have
