1111111 CC/VATS Of LAW.

Mr Lai mr;;;;ltite Order of the Day fnr thr

fioufe to refolve itfelf into a Committee on the
Irdb Courts of Law Bill. The Houfe ref, lved
itfelf into the Paid Committee, Mr. Jolts Sl4 I I H in
the Chair.
Mr. Lee faid, he meant to papone the conr.-
derail:o of the rergt of the Bill tdl fait day

of next Mlehaelma, term, in order that the judges
might in the mean titiy= h.. coabled to form an
1 opinion nn the fulijeet of ;he cla ufes introduced in
the Committee. rrir affording a
Mr. Ll e next prop-Ad a (Lure •
remedy, where personal fervice COJ Id not be ob-
tained, by fubftituting other modes ,of fervice in
lien thereof.
Mr. La s ohferved, that there were r, uly certain
parts of the Bill with regard to which tt tere could
be any difference of opinion in the Hou.re ; as to
the Bill itfelf, it came recommended by the Judges
of Ireland. By the operation of the Bit' certain
offices in the Exchequer of Ireland world be de-
: dared ufelefs. It was his intention to propote
certain compenfations upon the principle ire had
Rated on a former evening, namely, that the ave-
rage fhould be taken of the value of the o (ices
for the Taft three years ; that then Commiffioners
fhould examine the accounts of fuch Officers evstry
year, and that the deficiency fh-iuld be made a
charge on the confolidated fund. He thought
fuch Officers had a claim on the generofity of she
public ; he fhould propofe that a compenfation I
thould be made where it was requiiite, and that a
fum not exceeding 30001. fhould be at the difpolal
of the Commiffioners for that purpofe. The lion.
Member brought up the claufe to which he had
referred.
Lord Dom t.ow fuggefted, that the compenfation
ought to be extended to all perfons as long only
as they held their places.
Mr. FITZGERALD laid, the Bill provided a full
compenfation for all who were entitled to it.
Mr. LEE obferved, that thofe who took offices
with a view to the a& were not entitled to corn-
penfation. Perfuns who held offices during their
natural life certainly ought not to be divetted.—
Goo forbid the right of the King to grant patent
offices fur life fhould be violated. It was impoflible
to call upon the Houk to defeat a tight granted
by patent. Thnfe who held offices during plea.
fore, might come to the Houle, it was true, but all
they could do was to throw themfelves on the
mercy of the Houle, but Officers holding places
for life had a right to queftion the power of Par-
liament to divelt them of their right.
Mr. GREY faid, that with regard to perfons
holding offices during pleafure, be was altogether
againft the principle of granting compenfations.
It was right that compenfations ihould be granted
to perfons holding places for life. He faid a few
words, and the claufe for granting compenfations
to perfons holding patent places for life was
agreed to.
Mr. LEE next moved to grant the fum of 30001.
annually, as a compenfation to the fecond dais of
Officers. _ _ _

Mr. GREY ftrongly oppofed this pmpofition:—
Of all compenfations that ever were made, he laid
this flood on grounds the lead juttifia'ale. A Bill
was now before the Houfe, which propofed that
certain regulations fhould be adopted for the pub-
lic convenience; the manner they were to operate
was that of placing the Courts of Lisv in Ireland
more on a footing with each other, by taking
away fome undue advantages which one Court
enjoyed over another, and the drat would be
that of transferring from the Court of Exchequer
Come of its redundant bulinefs to the other com-
mon Law Courts. On what principle then could
thofe Officers of the Court of Exchequer expect
that Parliament fhould make good to them the
diminution that mutt take place in their fees, in
confequence of fuch a regulation ? He would (late
a cafe exactly firnilar Suppofe a Chief Judge
fhould be appointed to the Court of King's ench
or Common Pleas, poffiffing left popularity, and
with manners let's conciliating than thofe which
dittinguithed the excellent charatters by whom
thofe fituations were now filled ; and fuppofe a
number of fuitors fhould think proper to bring
their mires into a different Court, the confequence
mull be a diminution of bufinefi and of emolu-
ments to the Officers of it. In fuch a cafe, he
would afk on what ground there Officers could
call on Parliament to grant them a compenfation?
and that cafe was fimilar to the prefent
Mr. BRAGG/ Rated, that an aft had been
palled zo years ago by ti.e Lil 6 Parliament, which
had the effeEt of throwing an extraordinary quan-
tity of bufinefs into the Court of Eschew:a., and
the Officers of that Court now held their emolu-
ments on the faith of Parliament. If therefore
the Britifh Pathan:lnt, aßing on principles diffe-
rent from thole of the Parliament of Ireland,
fhould think proper to change that aft, it was but
jullice to indemnify thole who Mould Coffer by the
prefent regulation. 'lle cafe of the appointment
of a Judge gated by the Hon. Gentleman was
quite different; for here the alteration was to take
place, nut from the chance of one Judge attract
ing l ". buinA to the Court than another, but
fr the direCt interference of Parliament. _

Mr. For condemned the grounds of the propofed
compenfation to thofe officers, as calculated, in
fart, to put a (lop to reform altogether. It feemed
to him to imply this, that if abufes were to be re-
moved, that thole who had heretofore fubfilled up.
on them, mull be indemnified from the public
purfe. What, he would afic, would this conchs-
(ion lead to? Suits were in general evils, and if
any man fhould be able to propofe a meafute to
diminifb their number, what then ? Why, the
Lawy rs and Law officers would, upon the prin.
ciple of the clank now before the Committee, be
I juftified in applying to Parliament for a compenla-
tion—(a latish.) lf, for the happinefs of mankind,
any plan (huuld be deviled to diminith the number
of crimes, perhaps the Hangman would addrefs
the linufe for an indeMnity—(a geatral laksh.)—
The Hon. Member contended, that the compen-
fatinn called for by the Hon. Mayer was, in its
nature, quite without precedent. It appeared that
even when the frith Parliament made the regula-
tion, which it was the objed of this Bill to renew.'
and, which gave fuch an increafe of bufincfs to the
Coon of Excheqder. no compenfation whatever
was granted, or eked for. to the Officers of the
other Courts—a meafure that certainly would
have been more actsfable than that now before
the Committee. AO to the allufinns made to the
cafe cited by his Han. Friend, ref-peeling the com-
`parative faculties of the Judges, be maintained,

that k was quite applicable, for as the officers
were only to be compenfated for fuch loins as they
Soak' fullain in confequence of the diminution of
bufinefs in their Court. the queflion miht entire-
ly depend on the fuperior ability of the Judge who
prefided.
The Crtasetccoa of the ERCHEUER admitted
the prefent was not a claim of right, but an appeal
to the liberality of Parliament. The Officers in-
tended to be relieved by this Bill had enjoyed their
emoluments, not on account of the fuperior at-
traCtion enjoyed by one Judge over another, but
in confequcnce of regulations adopted by the Par.
liament. The claim of patentee Officers was not
difputed 1 and they were to have a full compenfa-
tion. The other Officers equally reckoned en hold-
ing their fituations for life, and had been continued
in them as long as they did their duty. He would,
therefore, put it to the Houle, whether a number
of meritorious perfons, who had calculated on
holding their fituationsfor life, thould now be placed
in fituations of dißrefs
Mr. KINNARD wifhed to know in what manner
the money intended for there Officers was to be
given to them ; whether it was to be at the arbitra-
ry diftribution of the Lord Lieutenant's Govern-
ment, or not
The CIUNCELLOR of the EICHEURR laid, on
the report of the Bill, he meant to propofe a claufe,
by which the dißribution of the money fhould be
rateable, according to the defalcation that fhould
appear to have taken place in the income of each
Officer.
The Claufe was at length agreed to ; and the
Bill having gone through the Committee, the Re-
port was ordered to be received to-morrow.

NAVAL AND MILITARY STORE}.
The CHANCILLOR of the Eros soy sit laid before
the Houk, Copies of the Orders of the Privy
Council iffued to prevent the Exportation of all
Naval and Military Stores, Arum, and Ammuni-
tion, out of this Country.—Orated to lie on the
Table.
Lord M.'s's' °Versed, that a notice bad been
given by a Right Hon. and Learned Gentleman
of his intention to bring forward a motion for leave
to bring in a Bill to indemnity certain perfons. If
that Bill lhould turn out to be what he expeCted,
it was very poffible he might think it necelfary to
move for the produltion of official documents re-
fpeaing the orders relative to the Exportation of
Naval and Military Stores.
The AYTORNIY G faid, he thould bring
on the motion alluded to by the Noble Lord, to-
morrow.

CIARGY RISIDINCI BILL.
On the motion of Sir Wm. SCOTT, the Houle
refolved it fell into a Committee of the whole Houle
on the further confideration of the Clergy Refi-
dence Bill.
On the motion for adopting the elm& for
granting licences of abrence, Mr. Ratan raid, the
documents on which fuch licences were granted,
fhotild be depofited in fume public placelor general
infpeßion, to avoid any imputation of partiality.
Mr.DIODLIY Rios* did not with to obarnil the
adoption of the clank, fo far as it yelled difcre-
tionary power in the Bifhops ; but to affift that
difcretion, he walled that the grounds for granting
licences, fhould remain as a tecord in the miller
of the dinceies.
Sir WM. Scorr raid, the condition which the
Hon. Gentleman called for, was to be found in the
next claufe in the Bill.
Mr. Ratites Paid, if fuch a fiatement was to be
annexed to the licence. it would obviate every
difficulty in his mind; it was not throngh any dif
troll of the Bifhops that he made the luggeilioa,
but to relieve him by removing the pot:flighty of
an idea of partiality in the public mind.
Sir WM. SCOTT agreed to the propofition niche
Hon. Gentleman, and amended the claufe ac-
cordingly ; which, after a few words from Mr.
Baacos, was agreed to.
On that part of the fecond claufe, which
.gives
a difpenfation to clerical perfons from living in the
parfonage-houle, when inch houfc fhould be unfit
for refidence.
Mr. RAIN is objeeed to that part of the clanfe,
as it gave a liberty of neglefting parfonage-hnufes.
Sir Wm. Scorr laid, chi, Aet would not alter
the law refpefling dilapidation% and the fuperin-
tending care of the Billows fill remained the fame.
It only went to protect clergymen from :idiom at
law, in cafes where the paifonage-hotite was not
a fit place for refidence ; many inflances of which
the Learned Member enumerated.
After fotne converfation between Mr. DICRINS,
MI. BIAGGI, and Mr. BURTON, the latter Gentle-
man moved as an amendment. that when a Cler.
gyman obtained leave to retitle out of the parfun.
age.houfe, he fhould pay to the Commiffioners of
qacen Anne's bounty the ore-twentieth part of
the income of his benefice, to accumulate and be
laid up foi the future repair or rebuilding of the
parfimage houfe.
Sir JoHli NICHOLL fpoke againft the amendment.
The Cnaiscaccoa of the Exclaso,yta obferved,
that the Clergyman thus fituated WAS an aggtiev.
ed man already. He had a parfonage-houfe
unfit for his refidence, in confequence of which he
was pot to the expence of hiring a honfe—and then
you wills to lay a tax on him in confequence of
the inconvenience he already fulrered; he thought
this would be a hard cafe, and was aguiult the
amendment.
Drift/ LAWRENCI and Sir WILLIAM DOVISH
were for the amendment.
Mr. Ross wilhed to have a Surveyor appointed
in each diocefe, to report annually to the BiRSOEM
on the fate of Inch bottles.
Mr. Dit. KEN' thot-.ght the word, Unfit-refidence,
too indefinite.
Mr. Bottom laid, there were a thoufand in.
(lances in which the Parfonage houfes were many
unfit for the refidence of a Clergyman. The Bi
(hop might have authority to order, but he could
not have a moral power to enforce the improve.
ment of the PariOnage Houle ; many of the de-
lefts might have beets from the negligence of the
late incumbent. and by his death there might be
no remedy, and Come of the Parfonage HOUfCS
might be in fo ruinous a fate, that no repair
would do, and it ;night be abfulotely neccfraty

t.l rebuild. He had endeavoured, as much as pot
to provide foam remedy againft thefc honks
that wanted repair from becoming worfe, by allot.
tiag a (mall p.trt of the income of the incumbent
to repair them. It was true that this might, in
many cafes, be inconvenient to Clergymen, for the
incomes of many of them were very fmall ; and
nothing would be more creditable to the Public
than to provide fome remedy to this inconvenience:
but that was not the quettion now before the Com.
mittee. He did not propofe this amendment by
way of a pofitive good, but as the leffer of two
evils. The taking any part of a fmall income from
a Clergyman was an evil, but the fuffering dila.
pidations in the Paribnage Houfes was a greater
evil. _ _ _

Mr. WINDHAM raid, he would be unwilling to
prefs any thing that may be conceived an hardlhip;
but he thought the only way to keep the paefonage
!inure in repair, is to have it inhabited, as the ot-
copier would have an immediate intereft iu th-
repair. They &mild avoid giving a facility to
non-refidence in parfonage-houfes.
Mr. HAWKINS BROVINIL Paid, that though he
concurred in the principle of the amendment pro-
poled by his Hon. and Learr.ed Friend, he was
more inclined to leave the funs to be fubfcribed to
the difcretion of the Bilhops.
The ATTORNEY-GCNSRAL thought fome words
may be introduced to meet the opinions of mutt
Gentlemen. He thought no particular rum should
be fpecified, but that it be left to the difcretion of
the Bilhops. He therefore propofed, that thele
words thould liand as a part of the claufe. 4' Tl.at
Bithops, en granting a licence, should do it on
terms and conditions with refpea to the repair of
filch buildings as the Billiops may think proper."
After a converfation, which lafted nearly for
three hours, fupported principally by the replies
m tde to each other from the fore-mentioned fpeak-
ers, and in which the original claufe was firongly
fupported by the MASTER of the ROLLS,
Mr. BOSTON thought that we ought to legiflate
fur futurity, as well as the prefent moment. and
hoped that means would be taken to repair dilapi-
detains, and, in the courfe of time, oar induce-
ments to refidence, inftead of non-readence.
Dr. Lima s ca was for the original clank.
Mr. Sperm STANNOPI raid, he happened to
be in the tituation of creditor to a Clergyman, to
whom he lent money at five per cent. but was to
have ten per cent. if debtor did not refide upon
his living, but (if we underftand him right) he
added, that the Clergyman was not enabled to
comply with the condition.
The converfation then became more general and
defultory than before, and at length the Commit.
tee divided on Mr. Burton's amendment, when the
numbers were—Foe the Amendment skr-Againti
it 42—Majority 27.
The original claufe was of courfe carried.
Strangers were, as ufual, minded from the gala
lery on the divifion, and were_noe re-admitted dur-
ing the remainder of the direulion upon various
claufts, which lafted till a very late hour t aftet
which the Chan man was direaed to report pro'
grefir and a& leave to fit again...--A.djotirned.

Yeßerday afternoon a number of falfe rumeilat
were circulated in confequence of the arrival of
Mr. Huersa, the Mellinger, who was laid to be
the precurfor of Lord War-moire. He came,
however, not from Paris, but from Peterfbargh.
Another repc,rt Rated intelligence to have been
received by the Telegraph, that his Lorcllhip was
on the way. If this be repeated every day, it
will at lan furnith an opportunity to the dealers in
conjeaure to boat} of the accuracy and priority of
their intelligence. His Lordfhip may be loon ex.
peeked. It is certainly not impoflble that he may
arrive this evening or tomorrow.—On an event
fo near at band, it would be fully to anticipate
any thing.
Orders have been fent to our feveral Naval
Commanders to be ready to commence hoßilities
at the fhortell notice, and the Channel Fleet, tin-
der the command r,f Admiral CoaswatArs, will
certainly put to lea in the courfe of a few days.—
Lord Kamm is appointed to the chief command
of the fquadron declined for the North Seat and
Lord Nsr.soli. as we Rated Tome days fince, goes
to the Mediterranean.

His MAJISTY held a Privy Council yefterday
at the (teen's Houfe, which was attended by the
CMANCILLOR of the Excntuysa, the Duke of
Pe , and Lord HOSAILT. We undernand
that an order was made far prohibiting the expor-
tation of faltpetre, and fame other articles.

This morning we received Paris Journals of the
9 11 inflant ( kfcriday ). The Metiterr is (Merit 1..
fpeding the negociation. Some of the (mall Papers
augur a continuants of peace from Lord Warr•
woerit not having left Paris at the time firli an•
flounced for his departure. Even the departure of
the Duchefs, who kerns to have fet out for England
before the date of theft Papers, is not cor.fidered
as indicating the pollible fpeedy departure of oar
Ambafrador—fhe only comes to England to lie
in! I Thefe Papers, however. announce, that a
great Dumber of the Ertglilh have quitted Paris

with precipitation ; and it cannot be doubted that
many of them have done fo in confecptence of hint:
which prudence would tell them not to difregard.
One of the Journals, fpcaking of the deferre,l
departure of Lord Wittrworru, exprcfres itfelf as
tollows

" The departure of the Englifh Ambaltador is
no longer confidered probable. It is announced,
that the packing up of his furniture is dilcontinued,
and that his Excellency will come to no farther
determination before the return of a bleffenger,
whom he fent off on Wednerday with difpatchcs
for his Goveynment. In regard to the departure
of his Lady, the Ditchers of Dosser, to which no
great importance feems to be attached, it is an in•
cident from which no decifive confequenee can be
deduced, (ince it has been known at London, for
tome months pan, that in the beginning of rummer
the Duchefs was to return to England to lie in. A
gre it part of the Englifh, however, who were in
this capital, have quitted it with a fort of precipi-
tation."—Gavette de France.

Another paper prefents the following paragraph:
—" The fame uncertainty Rill prevails in regard
to the negotiations between the French and Englith
Governments. The necefky of preferving peace
makes us hope it will not be broken."—Journal
de Petrie. ,

The Moniteur of the Bth, and a Supplement, con.
tains the Decree of the Deputation extraordinary
of the Empire, February 23, 1803, ratified by the
General Diet, and tranfrnitted to his MAJESTY the
Estspaoa, March 24, and fanetioned by him on the
27th of April. The arrangement of the Indemni•
ties is nearly the fame as that already announced.
The Ew valcia, in the decree of the ratification,
txpreffes hitufelf as follows:
Aher the conclufion of the convention, on the
ie:th of December, feveral additions, changes, and
propofitions having been added to the principal
decree of the deputation of November 23, another
general decree of the Deputation was paffed on
the 25th of February, an adoption of which was
propofed by the Avis of the Empire, under certain
eiprefs refereed conditions. His lIMPIRIAL Ma
bating Maturely examined all the circum
fiances which have been mentioned, and in con•
fequence of a refire of his deareft interefts, finds
himfelf determined to give his approbation to the
raid Avis of the Empire, in his quality of Supreme
thief, under the following conditions :

That the convention concluded at Paris on the
i6th of December year, and communicated to
the General Diet of the Empire, ought to be main-
tained iri all its vigour and obligations, according
to the literal text of its articles, and efpecially in
what concerns the referees contained in Art. IV.
That in fo Ear as there referees confider the
rights which belong to his Majefty as Emperor,
and fupreme Chief of the Empire, the legal and
ufual exercife of there rights mull be maintained,
both in the execution of the prefent Ad and for
the time to come.

„That the confirmation of the fundamental
Laws of the Empire, particularly of the Treaty
of Weflphalia, and of fubfequent Treaties of
Peace, in fit far as not exprefsly abrogated by
the Treaty of Luneville, and the prefent as of
the Empire, mentioned in the Abe, of the Empire
of the a4th of March, as well as the referve which
is there propofed irt regard to maintaining the Con.
Ilitut ion of the Germanic Empire in all other points
which arc not exprefsly changed, fuck as it has
hitherto exifted, for the Eleltors, Princes. and
States of the Empire ; among which mull be corn
prehended the Teutonic Order ; and the imme-
diate Nobility of the Empire ball be realifed, exe-
cuted, and maintained.
” That the objedions which his Imperial Ma-
jelly has caufed to be produced, in confequeoce of
the propofitions which the Deputation had before
made, for increafing the number of virile votes in
the College of Princes, not having been obviated by
pollerior propofitions, his Imperial Majeay finds
hlmfelf obliged by the dude's to which he Is bound
for the maintenance of the conflitution of the Em-
pire, and the proteelion of the Catholic Religion,
to fapend provifionally the ratification in regard
to that objett, and to referve to hinifelf to demand
immediately by a decree of commiffion, that these
Mall be formed a fat tiler Avis of the Empire. to
provide by fuitable propolitions, that, as a decided
majority of votes has already devolved to the
Proteflant States in the Etc/tore! College, and in
that of the Imperial Cities, the ufual relations'
between the two religions may not be fo changed
in the College of Princes, that the parity of rotes
be creatially dellroyed.
" In the Lift place, in regard to the points of
the Lift decree of the deputation, the regulation of
of which is Bill fohjea to future pmpofitions and
segoclations, Each, for example. as thole found at
the end of the ad and 29th paragraphs, the olts.
riot intervention which belongs to him is refereed
fit his Imperial Majefiy.
M His Majefiy, in formally giving under theft
conditions his ratification to the Avis of the Em-
pire of March 34, io his quality of Supreme Chief.
embraces this oppostaaity of publicly 'citify iag his 1

lincere gratitude, and that of the Empire, for
the 1)l icitude and good offices of the two medi-
ating Powers in the prefent important affair ; and
he confidently hopes, that tilde Powers will ami•
cably acknowledge the moll convincing proofs of
the camel' regard of the Emperor and of the Em-
pire for their v.iffies and propofitions, and that
thereby the work of peace, which is now con-
lummated, will be enfured and confolidated in the
moil durable manner. "CHARLES,
