in contemplation, mould not defer its introdudion
till fo late a period of the Seffion as the Bth of Ju-
ly, but bring it forward in time for the !aril and
molt deliberate difeuilion. _ _

The Bi(hop of Sr. Asarn was ftrongly averfe
to the principle of Bills of Sufpenfion, in a cafe of
In much importance as the prefent ; a cafe which.l
as connefted with the morals and the religion of
the country, molt materially.concerned the good
of the (tate, and mutt be of the highe(l importance
to the Legiflature ; for his own part, he could not
fie how a mere alteration of the date of dmation
could rib( the lots of this Bill in another Houfe ;
and his reafon fur wifhing to contra& the period
propofed by the Bill as it now flood, was in order
to fpur the attention of thole who intended to
bring forward any other meafure, in order that it
might come forward before fo late a period of the I
Seffions,as would leave it impoffible for thetrLord-
(hips to give it that due conlideration which a Med., I
fare of loch ferious importance required. He un- 1
derftood, indeed he knew, that loch a Bill had
been long in the contemplation of an Hon. and
Learned Member of another Houfe,and that many
confultations on that fubjcd had been had with the
members of the Bench of Bilhops, without coming
to any determination ; for there was bill great dif-
ference of opinion upon the fubjed in detail, how- I
ever defirable all were to accede to the principle of
the Bill : bill no Bill he underftood was prepared. ,
Perhaps the more tardy deliberations were, the
more wife the refults to be expefted. He was,
himfelf, aware of the difficulty of framing an un-
ohjationable Bill upon fuch a lubjeft but fo de-
cidedly averfe was he to the principle of Sulpen-
fion, that he would rather rifle the lots of the Bill
altogether than content to that which would hold
out no other meafure of relief to the parties inte-
welted than a mere poftponement from year to
year, without any meafure to amend the law fup.
poled to be fo oppreffive—a law, however, which,
much as had been faid againtt its oppreffive and
cruel operation, had, upon the whole, done much 1,
more good than harm. The mere (hortening of
the period propofed was not the only amendment
he had to propofe to the Committee. The Bill
before the Houle was by no means confined in its,
operation to a fulpenfion of the Al of Harry the
VIIIth, which was the only Aft inflicting civil,
painstand penalties upon the non-retident Clergy,
independent of ecclefiaftical authority, and againft
which fo much had been laid of its cruelty in ex-
poling the Clergy to qui tarn affirms. It fufpended
all the Ads of the 13th Elizabeth, which enaded
" that any leafe held by a non-refident Clergyman'
would be void, on the proof that he had been ab-
fent for 4o days in any year from refidence and
duty in his parilh " There was a further penal
claufe under which he forfeited 1 year's profitof his
living to the poor of the para. In this Al he was
not caviled tothc interetted avariceot the informer;
for the latter penalty could only be Cued for in the
Eecicliaftical Court by permiffion of the Diocefan
Bithop, for which the Churchwardens mutt peti-
tion ; and it is not likely the Bifhop will counte-
nance fuch a fuit upon frivolous or malicious
grounds. He therefore could not conceive under
what pretence that A& was fufpended, except that
the Houle felt itfclf in a fufpending humour.—
There was no doubt that the old law would admit
of many falutary amendments; and the principal
fault which he found with it, on the ground of
penalties, was, that they fell with inditcriminate
feverity aad equal weight upon the poor Clergy
and the rich ; upon the lets as well as the more
culpable ; and upon this ground was founded one
of the amendments he thnuld with to move : it was
cx:rernely vete he w:wld allow, to mulct a Clergy-
man for a flight departure from his (ay, in penal-
ties beyond %%hat the income of his livings would
pay. The r.::re iron refidence in a 111111011 S and
leant-11y habitable pa: foliage houfe, would certain-
ly be a fevere ground of penalty upon a Clergy •
man, in all other tell:efts performing the duties of
his para. There were, however, Is: knew, on
the other hand, many flagrant breaches of duty,
m!cl or is rna.!y pari:he:, where not only
the Rehor, but di.: Curaz::, abandon their parishes
for months t:--g tl:er, to follow the fports of the
chace, or any mite' Ingge.tion of their own falicy,
for their {:eart:re or ammement. 'tV mid it be faid
then, that !itch conduct, flagrantly injurious to
public morals, fhould pals uncorrected, or fcreen
itself under a Intim:flan of rile laws ? Having thus
Rated a few of the grounds upon which he thought
it nece ffary to introduce amendments in the Bill,
when it thvald conic into the Committee, he would
not hetitate to &clan., that it %sett: better at once
to repeal the old I tw altogether, than proceed up-
on a principle of futperilion, without any fuLlian-
tial remedy.

obviate the charge of miftatement in thofe ac-

error in the papers laid before them, from which
it would appear that there had been an over flaw-
went of two millions a year in the balance of Fo-
reign Cornmetce in favour of this Country.
Lord Mole* expreiicd his defire that the whole

CLFRICAL RESIDENCE SUSPENSION SILL

Lord A ticimAtio role, and in Alinfirm to what
had taiien from a Right Reverend Prelate (the
Bithop of St. AfApt)) yefterday, refpefting his in•
ten:ion to move for Come Alteration in the Dili,
hoped The Right Reverend Prelate would confider
that fuck an Alteration might TA the City of the
Bill on its return to another Houfe. Their Lord-
fhips were aware that the fole objelt of the pref,.nt
bill was to continue the Sufpenfiun of the Profecu-
tions against the Clergy for Non.refidence until
the Bth of July, which, as the Law now flood,
clpire on the Si.h of April ; with a view to
allow further time for bringing forward a more
tubilantial meafure upon the fubjcet, which was
Aid to be in preparation. As 'lnc only motion
which he tinclerilood the Right Reverend Prelate
rneant to offer in the Committee, Iva-, one for

tome forward daring the remainder of the Seffion
however, if the Learned Prelate would confider
fora moment the attrition of a man having high
and arduous conflitutional duties to difcharge,
lying down and riling with an aching head frrxn
the fatigues of a tenfe application to various ob•
jeets of his duty, he would be able to account for
the delay in bringing forward a meafure of fo
much importance, upon which the opinions of
many perfons of the highell confideration had been
aflced ; and which pert tits of much greater leifine
and learning on the lubjeft, had not thought fit
to undertake. He was equally aveife with the
Noble Prelate to the principle of furpenfion ; but
certainly Come meafure was necelfary to modify
that indifcriminate severity which, under the law
as it now flood, fell equally upon the meritorious
! and the undeferving. A circumftance occurred
while he had the honour of filling the office of
Chief Jultice, in proof of this alfertion ; a caufe
came before him, in which the Rector of Bow
Church in the city, was Cued for non•refidence in
the Parfonage houfe : it appeared that this Rev.
Gentleman had for a furies of years difcharged
the Parochial duties of his parifh in fo exemplary
a manner as to reflex the higheft honour upon
his own character, but the Parfonage houfe be-
being too (mall for the accommodation of his fa-
mily, he removed to another, at no greater dif-
tance than Ely Plac'e, Holborn. For this circum-
fiance only, he was Cued upon the penalties ; and
though it appeared that in no inflance whatever
had he been one moment abfent from his clerical
duty, yet the Noble Lord faid he was obliged to
direC the Jury to find a verdiet againfi him. The
very fame morning, a caufe of the fame fpecies
came before him, againft another Reetor in the city,
whole name he would not mention ; but who,-it
appeared, had two Churches, and two Parfonage
houfes in the City, but who, during the period of
nine years, namely, from the day of induction, had
never once officiated in the duties of his parifh, '
nor did any perfon from either of his Parfonage-
houfes ever once retort to public worfhip in either
of his churches, yet the law operated with equal
feverity in both theft cafes. He was aware that
the Rev. Bench in that Houfe had many arduous
duties to perform in their perfonal attendance in
their diocelea, but he trolled tkat in the delibera-
tion upon a nieafure of Co much importance, that
Houle would have the benefit of their Nita poi-
fible attendance. There was one point in parti-
cular, of which he %tithed efpecially to apprife
their Lordlhips, as a neceffirry refult of any mea-
lure, tending to enforce an indilpenfable refidenee,
many inftances of which had already fallen within
his own experience. From what had already taken
place, many Clergymen not ufually refident at
their (mall livings, and apprehenfive that meafures
were in agitation to enforce permanent retidence,
had difcharged their Curates, and dose the duty
thenafelves. The confequence was, that many of
thofe unfortunate Gentlemen were thas deprived
of the means of exiltence; many of them came to
him to folicit provifion in the churches fuppofed
to be within his gift ; and one in particular, who,
after having done the duty of his 'mill 35 years,
with the moR exemplary and unimpeached con.
duet, was turned out of his livelihood; and him-
fell, his wife, and five children, deprived of a roof
to fhelter their heads, or food to eat. This circum-
'lance, and many tinnier, which he was Cure el
illed, though not of equal feverity, would imprefs
upon the benevolence of the Houle, the neceffity
of making Come provifion for unfortunate Gentle-
men, who would thus become the vietims of a
mcafure for enforcing the aria difcipline of the
parochial Clergy, which, on all other accounts,
no man more %%jilted than he did.

The Bilhop of ST. ASAP H rote to explain thofc
expreflions which the Noble Lord teemed to ima-
gine were intended to apply with harfhnelti towards
an Hon. and Learned Member in another place,
who had undertaken to bring forward the Bill al•
luded to, and for whole talents, integrity, and
laudable zeal on this tubjed, no man thought more
highly than he did.
Lord CARLISLE regretted any feverity which, in
contegnence of any meafure to be adopted upon
this tubjtet, might attach upon the Curates ; and
he was lorry that a Noble Friend of his (Lord
Grenville) who, when this bill was formerly be-
fore the Hoof., had not been able to bring to ma-
turity a projca, which he then mentioned as in
contemplation for their relief. He fully coincided
in the objeCtions againft the principle of fotpenfion,
• inflead of meafores of prompt remedy: an inftance
• of this fort had occurred in the prefent Seffions, in
which a bill came up from the Lower Houle, con-
taining a clauk for fufpending no lets than 12 ads
I of PArliametit of different &Rion'.
The Bill was now read a fccond time.
Lord AUCELAKO was anxious that tome fub•
Itantial meafure Ihould he adopted, without delay,
or. the fubjeCt : and if no Bill was to be expeCted
from the learned quarter alluded to, he taw no
rcafon why that Honk might not originate an ef-
lattui meafure under the aufpices of the Rev.
Bench, without being at the mercy of another
Honk of Pal liAment to originate a Bill, in which
their Lordthips could make no alterationlor amend-
ment, however neceffary, without rifking the lots
of that Bill. For inflance, a Bill might be intro-
duced, enacting no fines; but rendering the Rater
rcfponfible, on complaint to the Bithop, who might
reprelent the cafe to his Archbilhop, who a,,crain
might lay it before his Majefty; who, &old it
appear necefrary, might refer the cafe to Parlia-
ment, in order to the adoption of any additional
remedy neceffary to be enaCted.
The queftion was now put, that the Bill be
committed to-morrow, which was agreed to.

The 1.;)Itr) CH /O:CE LI.OR coincided with the
Learned Vitiate in condemning the idea of fut.-
penhou, but, at the fame time, obi...reed, that the
d;1R• uli y of trarning a Bill upon a ground where.
on there was In much difterence ofopittion between
the Learned Prelate and his Rev. Brethren, ac-
counted in tome degree, for the delay which bad
occurred; and the necctlity in which the Houle
wat. placed, of acceding to mcafures of (Winn:ion,
until it was prepared to offer one of folid And per-
manent digellment. The Right Rcv. Prelate had
been pleated to allude to an Hon. and Learned
Perfim in another place, who had undertaken to
bring forward a 8.11 un this filbjecl, and to lay in
his own throng and peculiar manner, perhaps a
tardy deliberation might be likely to produce a
wtler refult. But in vindication of the Hon. and
LTal ned Perfrm alluded to, and of the tardinefs to
him attributed, he mull obferve, that the fele cattle

John Mitford, the late Speaker, and conveying the thanks of
the Oflicers, Seamen, and Mariam, engaged under Admiral
Blanket in the Red Sea, in promoting the glory of our arms in
Egypt, fur the vote of approbation which the Houfe had done
them the honour of pronouncing upon their exertions. The
letter concladed with exprcifions of regret that Admiral Blan-
ket ha 4 not lived to enjoy the gratification of hearing that his
conduft had been approved by the Houfe.—Ordered to be
entered on the Journals.
Mr. KNIGHT reported at the Bar, front the Committee ap-
pointed to try the controverted Elcftion for alargow,genfrew,
Ste. that Alexander Houfton, Efq. who had bete returned, was

GRENADA AND ST. TINCIIST'S LOAN.
- - - - - -

Mr. B*,u.lß moved the Order of the Day for
the committal of the Grenada Loan Bill.

Sir R. BUXTON oppofed the Speake'Ps leaving
the Chair. lie had refined the original rant a-
this loan, becaufe he difapp roved of the principle
of lending the public money to any particular de.
fcription of traders—a principle which be would
not encourage by acceding to any farther estenfion
cf the time appointed for igarmeyment. it was an
indulgence too often de ed, and which the
borrowers teemed difpofed to go on in :tilting foe

ad fdimiltnts.
Mr. Hos MOUSE defended the principle of lend-
ing the public money for the aiMaance of trade,but
admitted that it was a principle which ought to
be rcforted to with great caution ; that the fecuri-
ty ought to be good for principle and intereft, where
fuch a loan was attempted. Upon this .ale, how-
ever, be contended that the claim of the merchants
was entitled to the moll favourable attention, when
it was confidered that the loan originally granted
amounted to 1,400,0001. and was now reduced to
soo,opol. Thus the debt was diminifired, while
the fecurity was increafed. The national adVan-
cage refulting from this loan was alfo worthy of
notice. The two iflands benefited by it bad for
fome jeers imported into this count, y not lefs than
30,000 hogfireads of fugay, a quantity which mutt
be a produftive fource of revenue to the State, and
mutt occafion 4 confiderable exportation of our
manufaCtures.

Mr. Juliano); a obferved, that the general fcope
of the Hon. Gentleman's argument who had
fpoken lea would amount to this : that it was im-
material to whom Government lent the public
money, provided the feenrity were good. Againft
this principle be pitted his flrongeß proten. It
was particularly ohjedionable on conftitutional
grounds, that Miniffers fhould be thus permitted
to extend the patronage of the treafury to the mer.
cantile intereti. The danger pf this obvioully ten•
ded to create a connexion between the monied men
and Government, which would operate the die
Rtudion of that confequence which ought to be-
long to the landed intereff. Of loch an event the
public had too much reafon to be afraid, from the
courfe and event of the late elation, during which
the Boroughs were found but tooready to defert the
Gentlemen of landed property; and to throw them.
(elves into the hands of dr: monied interefl, a cir.
cumnance the more to be lamented becaufe the
monied men were not in general remarkable for their
independence; they were, unfortunately for the
country, too much difrfed to coalefce with auy Mi-
oilier, and to abide implicitly by his precepts. This
he thought a fufficiem ground of otbjedion to the
interter‘nce of Miniaers in mercantile concerns,
either by lending money, altering ditties, or taking
any other meafure to favour a particular branch
of trade, or a particular clafs of merchants. To
the motion before the Houfe he objected from this
confideration, and alfo becaufe it was now eight
years fince the loan was advanced. Six times
Parliament had granted time for its repayment,
and the borrowers in each inftance prornifed that
they fhould not again apply; but in the 101 l sea
lion particularly a Ipecific affurance was made, and
it was diitindly underflood that no farther appli.
cat ion of this nature would be attempted. To men
who had thus frequently violated their flith, fd
folemnly pledged, he thought no indulgence was
due. The affertion, that the fecurity of this debt
was improved by its redudion, from the fum ori-
ginally lent to sco,ostol. he denied; for the fad
was, that many r.f the perfons to whom the loan
was granted had difcharged the whole of their
debt, uhile the p. rfons who now called on the
Houle for farther t.me, had only paid one.thir I of
their proportion of the debt; that is, they had
received originally 700,0001. of which they Rill
owed above soomool and fuch was the nature of
the fecurity boalled of by the laR fpeaker. Would
the Hon. Gentleman then ferioutly fay, that Par-
liament had a better guarantee for the payment of
the Ira-laments propoled by this Bill, than it had
lOr draft mentioned in any of the former Bills ?
but the Hon. Gentleman offered as an argument
in favour of the claims of thole debtors, that they
annually imported 30,000 hogfbearls of foga:, and
thus materially contributed to the revenue. Was
the Hun. Gentleman, however, unaware that, in
confequence of the want of demand in this coun-
try, filch roger was again exported ? and that,
perhaps, the quantity which upon importation
produced too,ocrol. in duties, would coR the na-
tion in the bounties on exportation t tchoool. ?
Such was the kind of benefit whiclithe public de-
rived from the Well India trade, which bad been
lb much the object of minißerial attention, whick(
had erperienced a fyliem of favouritifm and par-
tiality deferring the moll marked reprobation-
fyitem wh;ch, in fad, encouraged the Well InsEi
merchants to grow avre of mute produce the
