der be poftponed till Monday neat.
The Earl of Lira melt expreired his hope,tkat the difetdrion
of the menu of the Bill would not be poilponed farther than
the day now propokik it was one of a peculiar nature and im-
portance, the more efpecial'y as it appeared to be thought, that
the very Writable Corporation who were the o'ajeits of the
Bill, were not fo dilcreet in the dikharge of their °eclat duties.
The dikuffion in quake, he had no doubt, would eftalaWli
their full vlndica:ion ; it was therefore proper, in that view of
the cafe alone, that the confideration of the (*bite thould not
be further poltponed he repeated his with, that the Lo-
coed reading of the Hill thould take place on Monday next, and
argot as an additional reafon for the difeution being fpeedy
and determinate, th.t the Corporation alluded to teemed kill,
in Come degree, to be the Ltibicel of (apical= in the point of
view be had mentioned.

accident.

IRISH APTAIkII.
Lord REDEIDA Le obfervcd, that there were now before de
Floufe five private hills relative to private property In Ireland,
upon which it would be neeeffary for their Lorilfkips to el,
mine witnefTes front Ireland. He had to obferve, that the bring.
ing of witneffcs from the molt &tent parts of Ireland, as well
as other parts of his Majefty's dominions, was attended with
very heavy expences to individuals, which it was deGrable to
avoid. For this purpofe, his Lordfhip fuggefted the neeeffity in
future of a law, enabling proper officers to receive fuch tetti-
mony in diftaut parts of kis Majefty's dominions, making the
parties giving fuch evidence liable to the ufna/ punifhrnent for
p:rjury, on giving fuck teltimony falfely, as if it were given
before that Houle. When the Bills mould come berore the Houle

which he had given notice refpeding the Financial lituation of

lons upon which he underilood a Bill had beau already pott-

Colonel 1. o s of ILLD prefented a Petition from certain inha-
bitants of the City of Cork, againft the Duties on Leather, and
praying a better mode of collect ting the fame.
Mr. CORRY Paid, he should certainly examine minutely into
the allegations contained in the Petition, ai.d if they was well
founded, no man would be more ready than hinafelf to attend
to the prayer of the Petition. Indeed, he mould make a point
of moving himfelf the further coofideration of the Petition, and
if any grievances exited, he (honk' feel the highelt fatisfation
in contributing his affiltance towards doing them away. The
Petition was ordered to lie on the Table.

MIDDLESEX INACTION.

Sir It. BUXTON moved, that the Order of the
Leth of Marc:l be read, relative to exchanging the
Lilly of the Petitioner and the Sitting Member for
the County of Middlefez, which flood for the tit
of May; which being read by the Clerk, the Hon.
Baronet obferved, that front the arrangement late.
ly made by the Houfe relative to Eledion Peti-
tions, it was impoffible the Petition could be heard
in the courfe of the prefent Seffion. He therefore
thought no objelion could be made to poftponing
it, and fhould, on that account, only trouble the
Houk with a Motion to that effect.

Mr. GRIT laid, he would not agree to poßpon-
ing the day which now flood for the exchange of
the Lifts in queftion, without forms reafon was al-
figned for doing fo, more than what had beep
urged by the Hon. Baronet. According to the
order in which the Petitions now (land for hearing
in the next Seffion, the Middtelex is the fourth,
and if put off now till the next Seffion, which he
underftood to be the meaning of the Hon. Baronet,
great inconvenience might be experienced by the
Sitting Member, in confequence of not having tut:
ficient time to make up his Lift. He therefore
thought, that if the Hoofs fhould be inclined to
give any further time, it fhould be confined to Come
precife day within the prefent Sefton.
Sir R. Borrow faid, that if the Order was en-
forced, injullice would be done to the Petitioner,
becaufe he would be precluded from making up
his cafe as circumftances might hereafter requite;
and it would be extremely hard, that if any far-
ther evidence that was favourable to him !Mold
come to his knowledge, he fhould not be allowed
to avail himfelf of it after the tft of May. When
this bufiaefs was heard before, it was allowed that
a month was fufficient for making up the Lifts,
and as the Petition flood only the fourth, there
could not be any caufe for doubting there would
be a month ; for in the commencement of the Sef-
font, none had been heard in lefs time. He there-
fore Should perfift in his Motion that the faidOrder
be difcharged.
Sir F. BURDETT raid, that after the petitioner
had already had nine or ten months to make out
his cafe and arrange the proceedings thereon, he
was much furprifed that longer time was wanted
for that purpofe than what had already been fixed
by the Houfe. He raw no good reafon for adopting
fuch a mode of proceeding ; but if the Houk
Should be of opinion that a longer day fhould be
given, he hoped it would not be extended beyond
the prefent &Ilion.
Mr. Baaooe faid, that when the prefent Order
was made, he had mentioned that if the Petition
went over to another Sefton, he Should move to
enlarge the day. He was therefore of the fame
opinion with his Hon. Friend who made the Mo-
tion. The objed of the Order made in r 735, was
to enable the Houk to hear the greateit poffible
number of Country Petitions, to which it alone rc,
fated, as early as poffible, and for that reafon a
month bad been fixed on as a Sufficient time for
making up and exchanging the Lift. In the pre-
fent cafe, the Houle itiell has determined that the
Petition cannot be heard till next Sefton ; would
it not therefore be extremely hard on both parties,
that they Should be tied up from adding any thing
favourable to their cafe after the if of May nest
IHe thought it would ; and Should therefore fop-
!port the Motion.
I Mr. Hoerr laid, that all the Houle bad to et-
tend to, was to do fubltautial junky between the

Laft night we received Paris journals of the 23d
inn. Their contents, however, are not of much
importance. One of them Rates, that a Captain
Ceske:riots, commanding the brig Three Brothers,
of Rouen, had made a declaration of his having
fallen in with three Englills corvettes, one of which
boarded him, and made inquiries refpeding his
cargo, dellination, &c. but without giving him
any ill ufage. It is afked, by what right did the
Englith pretend to vifit a French veffel in time of
Peace ?—French Funds, 5+ f.
Private letters from Paris Rate, that the French
Government has propofed to ours to evacuate the

of Sammie, provided we ova: uat Malta and
Egypt; and that it is generally thought at Paris
that the ESIPLIOR of Russia will do every thing
in his power to prevent war ; and that thould one,
notwithflanding, take place, he will rather incline
to thrfide of France.—Time will thew.
American Papers were yeßerday received in

A Paper of the sad of March Rates, that Dif-
patches had been received at Wathington, from
Mr. Livia carom, the American Ambaffaclor at

diplomatic note prefented by him on the fubjea of
the late irregular proceedings at New Orleans, he
received affurances from the French Minifter, that
France would refpea the rights of America; that
fhe had received Louifiana from Spain, fubjea to
fuels ftipulations as are contained in the Treaties
with that Power, and that the would with to cul-
tivate with the Americans a fpirit of harmony and
good will."

The Americans, however, will not be fatisfied
with the re-ellabliffiment of things on their former
footing; as experience has (hewn, this would not
be fufficient to infure the protation of the Wellern
Commerce, or reftore confidence to the minds of
the Citizens. The Government is expeaed, there-
fore, to make every exertion in its power to obtain
one entire fide of the river Miffiffippi.
