rrisivh the public faith was pledged. It was also flit
that sec change attempted in a system wbieh the
country *had so long observed, must be gradual and
slow, in order to produce the :efiects desiseds,for the
country could not sudilenlYretrier its steps in a course
which, he admitted, she had too long pnraned.—(Hear.
hear')—lt might be thought.by some, that the Com-
mittee had not recommended change enough ; hut
even one step of departure from an injudicious system
et commercial policy would he hailed by wise men as
a return to those right principles from which we bad
too much receded, especially in the opinion of foreign
nations. Our restrictive system was, indeed, a re-
proach upon our character for wisdom and liberality,
as well as a provocation to hostile reciprocity, through-
out the Continent ; and for the vindication of that cha-
racter it would become um to give up that system, from
a sense of its injustice. At all events, it would be-
ertne us-to show to foreign natio/is. that if they vio-
heed the sound principles of c acne hereafter, they
should nut have the example of I ireat Britain to quote
in jnatification of their conduct.—(Hear, hear !)

SIR WM. MANNEKS.-31r. TINSTPON said, that
be had to present a petition from an individual, who
had the misfortune to incur the displeasure of the
!louse. Upon an order made for the attendance of
Sir W. Mauners upon a Committee of that House, the
lion. Baronet, who was nut aware of the order, hap-
pened to be absent *from haute, and the House thought
Proper to come to a resolution that he had absconded
in order to escape the service of the order. The fact,
however, was, that the moment Sir W. Manners was
arTrised of the order, he came to town with a view to
attend the Committee, bat on his appearance he was
ordered to be committed to Newgatr, where he bad now
bsets eight days a close prisoner. Considering the offence
of the Hun. Baronet was quite unintentional, and also
t' « unfortunate state of his health, to which a respect-
:Ode medical practitioner was ready to depose at the
Bar, he hoped the petitioner would be found to cape-
r'ence that degree of clemency which the Ifonse had
h—n pleased to extend to others.—The petition was
read, and laid upon the table.
Mr. Bor. the Surgeon of Newgate, being called to
the Bar of the Moto., said that he had seen Sir W.
Manners that day. and that, in hi• opinion, he could
not attend at the Bar of the flutist. without consider-
abl risk.

Abstract of the Expense incurred by the Government
of Great Britain in the lonian Isles, for the year end.
