EL EC TON ►ETITIONS.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHECLUSR, in conk-
quence of the notice he had given yefierday, rofe
for the purpofe of moving to defer until the next
feffion of Parliament, the confideration of the four
remaining Petitions complaining of undue elec-
tions, which flood now appointed for the prefent
feffinn. On the propofal he now meant to fubmit,
he wilh-d to confult the fence of the Houfe, by
which he would be governed. His motive for wiflt•
ing to pnflpone thofe Petitions was, he laid, a
confideration!of the Rate of the Houle with refpea
to Members who had already ferved upon Com-
mittees, and the improbability of being able to
obtain an attendance fufficiently numerous of thole
who had not ferved, but who were Went from va-
rious caufes, or had not yet taken their feats. The
State was this—
Members who have krve oo Committees - 3go

Members who have not taken their feats - - 50
Members a/aloft whole return petitions have been lodged 26
Members duly returned who have not ferved 144
Total - - boo
Doubting, therefore, of being able to procure
the attendance of a fufficient number of Members
to go through with their remaining Petitions dur.
ing the remainder of this feflion, as fo many were
abfent on leave, through illnefs, and a variety of
other caufes, and not wiflting to trefpafs on Gen-
tlemen who had already performed their (hare of
duty, many of them on more than one Election,
he thought it more ads &cable to defer the remain-
ing four to the next felon, along with the other
Petitions already deferred. He then moved, that
the Order for the Radnor Committee for Thurf
day next be read, in order to its being difcbarged.
Mr. Coorta, notwithßanding the confiderattons
already argued by the Right Hon. Gentleman, was
not convinced of the neceffity or propriety of pod.
poring the Petitions until next Scion. Many and
flagrant inßances had already appeared of corrup-
tion and abufed authority in theconduet of Return-
ing Officers ; and the Houfe could not proceed
with too much expedition, in the invefligation of
Petitions, where fuch complaints might poffibly
exift, or leave it in the power of any man corruptly
or improperly returned to that Houfe, to enjoy the
honour of a feat for three Seffions, which might
be the cafe, if the prefent Petitions were deferred
longer than this. He was of opinion the Mem- '
bers even who had fcrved on Committees would
have zeal enough for the honour of the Houfe to ;
undergo the inconvenience of ferving again, rather
than leave a door open to the evil he had Rated.
Mr. Weans profeffed a fimilar opinion.
Mr. Fox thought, that to defer the four remain-
ing Petitions till next &Rion, would be to incur
the rifle of deferring others until the Seflion fol-
lowing. Befides much expence and inconvenience
would be tifelefsly incurred by the parties concern-
ed, who confidercd the Houfe as bound by its vote
to go through with their Petitions in the prefent
Setlion. Betides, the Right Hon. Gentleman had
Rated, that there were 44 Members who hal not
ferved, and co Members who had not taken their
feats, concerning whom the Houle was poffieffed
of no fufficient reafons for indulging their non-
attendance, and Come of whom could not be very
eafily forgottten as Members of that Houle, who
lived near town, and were every day in town, and
yet could not find time or inclination to take
their feats, or attend their duty in Parliament.—
Their number, added to that of the Members who
had not (cried, amounted to pretty nearly 200,
and among( dick, if the Houle thought fit to ex-
ert its powers, and he faw no reafon why it lhould
not, fufficient Members he thought could be found
in the courfe of the prefent Seffion to get through
shore Petitions. Other Gentlemen had done their
ditty, and he could fee no reafon why thole (hould
be allowed to (brink from it, without at leall of-
fering their mules.
The CHANCI Limit of the Excm ce's it replied, by
reminding the Houle that lie bad let out %soh pro.
tanig his intention to be guided entirely by their
fettle of the bufinefs. So far from having any is ifli
to dater thrift Petitions till next Stffion, it was hit
m ,It earned &tire, that they thould he decided in
; the pi efent ; and underßanding that to be the knfe
t of the Houle,he lhould a(k leave to withdraw his
; motion.—l.eave given, and the Motion withdrawn.

CLiRGY WIDINCE RILL.

.
S:r Scor r moved the (leiter of the D.iy
for the Houle refolving itrelt into.a Committee of
the vihole Houfc on the turther con!:;derittiun of the
Clergy Retictence Bill.

The Houfe in a Committee of the whole Hoare.
Several elastics were put and agreed to.
On the claufe for exempting certain perfons
holding benefices, who alfo held the fituations of
Chaplains to the Houk of Commons, to the Army
or Navy, or being Fellows, Burfars, or Tutors of
Colleges, &c. &c. from the operation of the Bill,
Mr. DUDLEY rote and laid, that he was
entirely of opinion that perfons holding ecelefialli.
cal benefices, fhould not be compelled in every
in fiance to an immediate refidence on their bene-
fices. For there were many occasions, in which
men of the moll fplendid talents would, under filch
circumflances, be precluded from the moll bene-
ficial exercife of them; for inflance, in the impor-
tant point of the education of youth, and others
equally interrefting. He was, however, not in
favour of a clank which went to place the power
of exemption from refidence entirely in the hands
of the Legiflature, but he wiflxed to have that
power entrulled to the bifhops. He had heard
I the word degradation made ufe of, but he was
confident there were few of the Members of-this
Hook, who did not in thole times hold fume mili-
tary lunation. And he would ark, if they felt
themfelvec degraded by applying to the Comman-
der in Chief for leave of ablence when occafion
required it ? Why then fhould it be confidered
degrading in clergymen to apply to their bifhops
under fimilar circumflances ? He, therefore, mov-
ed, that Chaplains of the Houle of Commons, of
the King's Clofet, of the Army and Navy, Minor
Canons, Prebends, Fellows, Burfars, and Tutors
of Colleges, &c. &c. who held ecciefiallical bene-
fices, fhould be exempted from relidence on re-
ceiving a licence to that purport from each his
refpeftive hifhop.
Sir W. SCOTT obferved, that this amendment,
if adopted, would give the hilltop.; a power of
withholding licences on every occalion, and, con-
fequently of giving a negative in every cafe; he
thought it unneceffary, and therefore was againli it.
The ATTnRMEY•Cr NIAAL raid, the quellion was
reduced to this—Whether a perfon holding two
fituations, and difcharging the duty of one of them
fairly, fhould be confidered as a difcharge for the
duty of the other ? The Houfe fhnuld determine
which was the preferable duty. For his part he
mutt confider the refidence on livings had the fill
claim. As to the difcharge of College duties, and
other fituations recited, it was optional in the
clergy to accept or decline fuels fituations. He
granted that the offices of chaplains toxin army
and navy, to fadmics, and milliners abroad, were
of the firlt importance ; it did not, however, item
neceffary to have reilorr appointed to fuch places.
He particularly concurred in the fentiment, that
the fituations of Chaplains to the Navy Ihould be
well filled ; and it was to this chciimaance he
Attributed the conduit of our Glints, who, in the
hour of vifory, did not Gil to recoiled the hand
that led them to it. But there was no neceffity for
Redors to fill fuch fituations. He was alfo of
opinion, that the Fellows, Butfars, and Tutors of
Colleges, may be feleded from a different dekrip-
tion of men with equal advantage. He was, there-
fore, of opinion, that no duty was fo important as
I a refidence on the cure. _ _ _

Mr. WINDHAM Paid—" We (hould not compare
duties feparately confidered. It is true, the
fitua-
lion of Burfar of a College may be filled as well
by a layman as an eCclefiaftic. But we are not
only to determine the immediate but remote con.
fequences. The fituation of tutors may be Main-
-led in like manner ; but by adopting this method
you go to (trip our univerfities of the great advan-
tage they have over thole of other countries, of
1 having the education of youth candied principally
to ecclefiallics, which was a fecurity to the church
and fiate. He was, therefore, for the original
claufe.
Mr. Wir.s llt rot c raid, the argument ufed by
1 his Right Hon. Friend ref peiling Fellows of Col-
-1 !ego and Education, teemed a mikonception ; the
queftion was not whether tutors or fellows thould
be clergymen, but whether they Ihould be bent-
ficed clergymen?
Mr. Serjeant Bs'r laid, the argument of his
Hon. and Learned Friend (the Attorney-General)
refpeding Chaplains of the Navy, applied equally
to other perfons, whole fervices, as men of Ape-
rior talents, and requiring an enlarged fcope for
exerting them, demanded equal indulgence.—
Upon a full review of all the Offices fpecified, he
thought proper clergymen Ihould be found to fill
them.

Mr. DICKINSON, jun. fupported the exemptions.
He reminded an Hon. Gentleman, that many of
the Livings in the Univerlity of Oxford were
tenable with fellowlhips. He thought a much
more milchievous idea could not get abroad in the
world. than that the education of youth might!be
intrulled as well in lay hands as in ecclefialtical;
the belt means of judging of education was by its
units, and when he looked at the morality, the
learning, and the religion of Gottingen and Ley.
den, and compared them with the Univerfities of
Cambridge and Oxford, the Houle could have no
doubt, but that education was bell carried on by

The ATTORNEY•CZNERAL, in explanation, raid,
he thought pluralities a great grievance. He
thought the duties may be difcharged by perfons
not holding benefices. He did not fly that eccle-
fiallics fhould not be tutors, but he raid that it was
not neccfrary that tutors Ihituld he beneficed cler-
gymen. !le was clearly of opinion, that the dif
cretion of granting exemption thould be vetted in
the hilltops.
The CHANCILLOR of the EXCIIiVIR laid, the
quellion was not, whether the Houle had made up
its mind that no exemption flrould be without leave
' of the bithnps, or on the other part, that no per-
fins could hold thole offices who held their benefi-
ces ? but whether, in nn cafe, exemption, without
'content of the hilltops, fhntild take place. He
!thought it would he hard that a perlon having •
living of so or 601. Ibould be excloded from doing
dusty as Chaplain in the Kiog's dole, or Chaplain
!of the I,tccs. He was ag Oita the amendment.
Mr. Dunt.sv RIDIR and the frtroassv-Gswe-
R•L expl •ined.
i The SLCRITARY at WAR fpoke a fcw words in
favour of the Chaplains :o the forces.

Mr. WILDIRFORCI was for lodging the power
of exemption entirely with the hifhops.
Donor LAWRENCE laid, that Clergymen Of Ir.
tinelion thnuld fill the lituAtion fpecified in tlic
claufe, and he lamented that few of that defuip.
tion came forward on foci occalions.

This part of the claufe was agreed to.
Upon the claufe for exempting Clergymen doing
duty in the Britifh Nam-its abroad from the opera-
tion of the Bill, an ohjetion was made by Sir Ro.
BERT Burros but upon Sir WILLIAM SCOTr
Rating how extremely difficult it was to procure
refpeetable Knitters to officiate in our faaorie-,
eveii with all the advantages held out to them, the
objedion was withdrawn, and the claufe approved.
A. converfation continued refpeeting a vaticiy
of other exemptions with regard to refidence.—
Upon that which related to the exemption of
Chancellors, Vicar Generals, and Snrrogates, the
A TTORN LY-GLII ER AL exprefTeci himfelf againll the
principle of extending the exemptions. The Coin.
mittee divided on the motion for thofe words fla-)d-
ing part of the Bill.—Ayes 47.—Noes 14.—Nlajn-
rity for the words (landing part of the claufe, 33.
The next part of the claufe related to the ex-
emption of Canons attached to Cathedrals.
Sir WILLIAM Scorr fupported the exemption.
Mr. I. H. BROWNL oppofed it.
After a defilltory eonverfatinn, the Committee
again divided, and the claufe was agreed to.
Several other classics were difcti lied and agreed
to. The Chairman then reported progrefs ; and
leave was given that the Committee should fit again
to-morrow. The other Orders of the Day were de.
ferred.—At eleven o'clock the Houle adjourned.

loon after the arrival of Mr, Sriwrest the
Englifb Ambaffador's family would not have been
denied their accußomed gratification in receiving
their private letters and the Englint Newfpapers.
The Clerks at the Poll-Office waited feveral hours
in expedition of the box as urns'; not knowing
till a very late period of the night, that it was not
to be fent again. We Rate this eircumflance with
infinite regret, inafmuch as the fad demonftratea
that Adminifivation have not the lean hope of any
pacific tendency from the final paper carried to
Paris on Saturday night by Mr. Sy tvasraa. Lord
WHITWORTH might have met the box upon the
road from Paris; but Government,very prudently,
deemed it moll tale not to troll this difpatch under
the almoft infallible certainty of an immediate
rupture between the two countries,
It is certainly not impoffible. however, that the
CHIEF CON stn., when he finds how determined our
Government is not to recede from or alter the
terms that have been infilled on, may acquiefcc for
the prefent, aod wait for a more favourable time
(which we hope will never arrive) to leek his re.
venge. What is he to gain by a war at prefent
The refources of his Allies, as be bimfelf imknOw-
ledges in his celebrated aim esk Rop•ifr, are ex-
banned. Without (hips be cannot conquer our
colonies. Of an invafion sztf Great Britain or Ire-
land. his chances are much (mailer at prefent than
they will be when he has railed a formidable navy.
Portugal he cannot attack for the rearms, which
baffled his views in 1801 : he knows the colonies
of Portugal would fall into our hands. He cannot
extend his conquelis in the Levant. While we have
Malta, that is impodible. His influence over Spain.
Holland, and Switzerland, cannot be increafed.—
The Italian States cannot become more fubmiffivc
to him. If he (huts the harbours of Europe again ft
our manufactures, we know by experience that I.is
orders will be evaded. There remain no countries
in Europe, which he can revolutionize and plun-
der. Sh mid he attack Aufiria, Ruffle mull make
a common cattle with her. He cannot now make
' the French fight to refit the Bourbon Monarchy.
What is he to lobe by a war ?—The colonies of
)c-ante and of her allies: we know that many of
[them wills to be rellored to the Britifb Govern-

=eat. We know that the Spice. Viands have
erpreffed a determination not to admit the
Dutch. St. Domingo muff, in cafe of a war, be
for ever loft to France.' Italy, Spain, Holland,
Flanders, and Switzerland, long for an opportu-
nity to !hake off a yoke, which the late treatment
of Holland has (hewn to be even heavier than their
fears conceived. Tile recovery of the fettlements
ifi.lndia would be impofTible. Louifiana could not
Ite poffeffed by France during war. The hopes of i
recovering her (hare of commerce would be re-
;Mooed, and her finances would confequently be
infufficient for confiderable operations.
From every view of theSubjeet, it is plain, that if
BOM•P•ITE were afluated by the fame motives
which influence other men, ha would find himfelf
under the neceffity of giving way to our demands
—even had they gone the length to require poffef-
lion of l4tlta ia perpetuity. But he avowedly
trunk, fo much to the blind Goddefs, that we can-
not judge of him as we, would of men in general,
placed in fimilar circumnances, and we fear, not-
Atr►ithnanding the powerful motives which fhould
induce compliance on his part, that he will prefer
the cbapces of a, war with all its horrific augurs,
to facrificing certain points of ambition.
As to Malta, we cannot avoid repeating, for we
have been continent among the tergiverfations of
Many of our brother Jouraalias, the abfolute re-
tention of it is, in the prefent Rate of things, indif•
pedal*. Mr. MACICAN ZI difeovery of the offi-
cial papers of the Maltefe Deputation more than
confirm our opinion ; and we really blufh, as Bri-
tons, at the treatment which they received. No-
thing but an unconditional poffeffion of the ifland

this country.
