IMPERIAL P. 4111.1 LiIENI:

HOUSE OF LORDS, Tt t•D tV, J% 20.

The Lord De Clifford tnt.k t it oohs am: his seat.

Mr. Irvine from the ('nstom•house, brought up re-
turns of the quantity of grain inward during the year
1t419, for the inspe..tion of the Select Committee.
I,ord Aucst.asto presented the report of the Com-
mittee on the Insolvent Debtors' Bill, which he moved
shonlil he printed, and stated, that when printed, he
should move the second reading.
Mr. Lark, from the Board of Trade, brought np pa-
pers containing an account of the system of levying
dirties on battens and deals, which were referred to
the Select Committee.

laird LAUPERDALK moved for a copy of the Report
of the Management of the Fund!' of the Poor in Scot-
land for the year ISI9, and which had been laid be-
fore the General Assemble.—Ordered.
On the motion of L we( Lireettono., the Loan Bill
was read a second time.

THE MUTINY lIILL.—On the motion of Lord
lovenroot., the Mutiny Bill was committed.
Lord iiROSVENOII, ill the ttttt mittee, objected to the
augmentation of the military f..ree, as adding to the
burthens of the country, and giving, in a time Of
peace, too great a predominance to a standing military
establishment.

Lord LIVERPOitL said, that the additional force al-
lowed by the Hill did not pot the country to any unne-
cessary export., as circumstances absolutely required
it. Ministers were most willing• to act up to the prin-
ciple of economy advised in the Speech from the
Throne on the opeiiing of the Session;, bnt it was
likewise their duty to guard against the dangers to
which that Speech adverted. lie could, however, as-
sure their L ordships, that tie additional force was not
to continue longer than the necessity on which it was
levied existed.

Lord tianav axon exprerwil himself dissatisfied with
this explanation, and said, that he would move a re-
duction of the military establishment, either then or
to-morrow.

Lord LIT ERPOO'. said, that it would be the better
way to prefer the motion on to-morrow (this day) on
the third resoling of the,BiH.
The Bill was then committed, and ordered to be read
a third time this day.
The Crown Mass Bill and others were read a third
time.

The Alien Denizen (Scotch) Bill was coinmittrol.
Lord LAI'I,rIIIIAIA oppose the exclusion of the prin-
ciples of the Bill to two years.
Lord M twit LLE supported the Bill as it then stood.
Lord LArnaltllA Lit said, that his objection was found-
ed upon public grounds and principles of justice, and
moved, • tha the Bill should extend only to one year
instead of two. He stated, that it was likely the Bank
of Scotland would petition to have it taken away alt..
gether.
The motion was then put and negatived; the Bin
went through the Cointuittee, and the Report was
brought up and received.
Mr. Brogden and others brought up the Irish Court
of Exchequer Bill, the Royal Marine Mutiny Bill, the
Sail Cloth Manufactory Bid, sod the lire Navigation
Bill; which were read a first time.—Adjourned.

HER MAJESTY, THE QUEEN.

A general hustle suddenly rose in the House, and
the name of Mr. Wilberforce was called out by several
Members.

Mr. WILREI:FORCZ foie, and said he had to give
notice of a motion for to-morrow, the object of which
was to obtain, if possible, an amicable adjustment of
the differences which still remained upon the subject
of an illustrious individual.—(ilear, hear! from all
parts of the House.)
Mr. lictornitam rose, and said, that as the motion
of which notice had just been given, would hare pre-
cetlence of the Order of the Day for resuming the ad-
journed debate to-morrow, he would submit to his
Hon. Friend whether it was not expedient that the
letter question should be discussed previous to that of
which he had given notice. It appeared to him, that
in pursuance of the course usually adopted in this
House, with regard to negociations upon any matter,
either foreign or domestic, it was in the first place
necessary that the Noble Lord opposite should state
the grounds on which the recent negociations had
failed. It would then naturally remain for himself,
and his Hon. ('eslle'agne, on the other hand, to answer
the statement of the Noble Lord, and to defend them-
selves from any charge or imputation, if any, to which
that statement might give rise. He took it for granted
that the House were now prepared to express an opi-
nion upon those negociations ; but he put it to the
House whether it would be fair actually to express
that opinion until they should hear the several particu-
lars connected with them.—(llear, hear!)—He did
not mean to suggest any proceeding which would pre.
elude the motion of his Hon. Friend ; but he submitted
whether, instead of preceding, it Would not he better
that it should follow the order for resuming the a -
journed debate.
Lord CANTLEREAGII, in answer to the Honourable
and beamed Gentleman's reasoning as to the course
to be taken with respect to bringing negotiations un-
der the consideration of the House. denied that it was
usual for Government to take the; opinion of the House
upon negociations that hail failed. Ife might instance
several negociations that had failed; for instance,
those relating to the transactions at Vicuna, upon
which the House had not been called on for an opinion:
As to the papers before the House, he hail rasa pricreed-
ing to propose, as founded upon them. Ile ironid
feel it his duty, even if the question of which notice
had been given, had not precedence of th adjourned
debate, to give the precedence to any proceeding o.hich
would render that discussion ntinecess.:ry ar,
hear !)—lt did not appear to him if that difficulty
were possible to be obviated by a proposition either
in the affirmative or negative, that any discussion of
an adverse character could tend to promote the object
of the Hon. Member's motion.—(llear, hear!)
Mr. Mori:ciao said, that he should feel as twirl:
reluctance as the Noble Lord in bringing on any cli:•-
cussion of an adverse character, which could in ally
degree impede the object of his lion. Friend. Rut as
the Noble Lord did not seem to feel that any defence
was necessary on the part of her Majesty's advisers,
he felt satisfied that the conduct of those advisers, as
well as the conduct of her Majesty herself, did clot
want to be defended.—(clear, hear, bear!)—Tice
conduct of those advisers he therefore left to the can-
dour and to the justice of the House and the country
—(Hear, hear, hear !)—Anil he trusted, if any thing
should appear either in this House or amt of it which
should bring their conduct into question, that aa op-
portuni.y would be allowed him to defend himselfand
his colleagues.—(Hear, hear!)
Mr. 'I JERSEY expressed a wish that the Hon. Mem-
ber would explain more generally what the object of
his motion was, and what was the course Which he in-
tended to pursue.—(Hear, hear!)
Mr. 11'mm:intones, in answer, said, that he would
rather decline going more fully into the object of his
motion at present.—(Hear, hear!)—But if any Mem-
ber wished to suggest any thing of which he could
profit, he should be very happy to hear him. He
wished to shape his motion in such a way as that it
might meet the general sense of the House—(lfeet,
hear !)—and to realise, if possible, a wish which he
believed was pretty general in that House, which be
was sure was general throughout the country, that
those minor differences which still remained might be
adjnsted.—(Cheers from every part of the House.)—
And sure he was that no man, whoever he was, would
hereafter reflect upon his conduct with satisfaction to
himselt who would throw antisupeditnents in the way
of that adjustment—(Hear, hear!)—.r who would ex-
pose either of the illustrious parties concerned to feel-
lop of a painful nature.—(Cheers.)

Mr. TIERNEY said, that he had no snggestion t.►
make to his Honourable Friend. As to the nature ti-
the motion, he himself personally knew it ; hut he
had asked a further explanation for those Member
who were not aware of it, and also for the country.—
(Hear, hear')
Mr. WILAIRPOPCII said, that the motion explained
itself. It's object was to obtain, if possible, an ami-
cable adjustment, or to suggest some further proceed-
ings, which might terminate in producing the same
effect.

Lord A. HAMILTON observed, that it was grante•l
that the motion, whatever it was, was still to have ire-
eedence •f the adjourned debate. Memters had the
papers connected with the late negotiations in their
bands, and were prepared for no other motion the
the adjourned debate. He thought it therefore, not to •
much to ask an Hort. Gentleman, who preps/ea to pus
that adjournettilebate aside, to state the substance of
his motion.—(Hear, bear!)—He did not wish to con-
fine him to any partienlir set of words, he only wialr*d
for some explanation of the general nature of the mo-
tion.—(Hear!)
Mr.Scaaterv, as IC ranger to the matter, felt very
great anxiety to know the precise object of the mop u::.
Was it, he would ask, to restore her Majesty's t
to the Liturgy.—Hear, hear !)
Mr. WiLuzurottca said, it was rather strange that
Hon. hlembeis should ask for an explanation as to the
nature of a motidill, with which, according to their own
avowal, they were themselves already acquaboted.—
(Hear, hear! and a laugh.)—He confessed he wo•i:d
rather wait until the motion was made, to state the
reasons upon which it was fonntled...—(Hear, hear!;—
He would say, that it was not for the precise purp,;•e
alluded to by the Hon. and Learned Member on t e
floor (Mr. Scarlett). but that it fairly arose out of t:i •
papers which had been laid on the table of the How, .
—(Hear, hear !)—As for precedency, he wanted n
for his motion ; at the same time he thanked his Not. m
Friend for consenting to give precedency to it. If 11,
did not more precisely state his motion, it was because
he did not wish to confine himself to 'any particular
form of words, or to shape it in any way w hich might
not meet with the general concurrence of the House.
S(OT('H Jl'lltY BILL—Mr. BROUGHAM post-
poned his notice upon this subject, to what day we
slid not bear.

Colonel Baum ELL, from the Committee appo;ntol
to try the St. Ives election petition, reported that the
sitting Metnhe?* were duly elected; and that the pe-
tition complaining of their return was not frivolous t.r
vexations. Colonel Bagwell also stated, that he was
instructed by the Committee to inform the Douse that
there were strong grounds to believe that a per.r.:i
named Patrick Dunn, who had been examined Its a
witness before them, was guilty of wilful and corrupt
perjury in the course of his evidence; and also
lipply to the House to direct the Attorney-tienera; ts)
commence a prosecution against the said Dunn. Ile
made a motion to that effect, which Was agreed to.

CONDUCT OF THE GUARDS.—LUrd NotiLN:l:
observed, that as he then saw the Noble Secretary at
War in his place, he thought it necessary to put a
question to him on a subject which was one of no
small importance. Some disturbance had lately taken
piece among a party of the military, under preteoce.
as he was informed, that certain sums of money al:is:is
had formerly been allowed to those troops for particu-
lar serviet s, were withheld from them. He was sun v
to observe that this was one of the evils arising out of
attempts to intro ince a military :rovernment into Um
country; and as to ends claims as those, they we o
such as should never be admitted. The question ii'
now wished to ask wa,---for what re son, upon wit tt
occasions, and out of what aunts were those allowances
made to the soldiers of the Guards. It was very 111.1•
feria' that this point-slionbi he clearly understood; i.e.
cause, in his opinion, no 'wittier ought to have guy in-
crease of pay when called nett to perform a particiiiar
service, as it was the duty of every soldier to obey the
orders given him withont any consideration whatevi r.
bond Pt LMERSTON said, he had nut the least uhit-c-
-tina to answer the Noble Lord's question, anti give
him every information he might require, upon this
subjert. The disturbance which took place a few
days ago, among stone of the companies of the Guards,
did net arise out of any claims which the soldiers
could have for increased pecuniary allowances. It
a•ose mint of au idea that they had a more severe duty
to perform than other troops, and that while perform-
hot that duty they ought to have received certain re-
freshments. It happened that, about ten years ago,
when there was a disturbance about sending Sir F.
Burdett to the Tower, several parties of the Guards
had been employed oa severe duties and kept out all
night. Their sitttai:m teas such, that while perform-
ing this ditty they hail not the means of providing
themselves with their ordinary refreshments. On
those and other occasions of a similar nature, whi,:ii
hal since occurred, it was found necessary to give the
soldiers on duty some slight refreshments: they con-
sisted of small rations of bread and cheese. They re-
ceived no increase of pay, nor any additional sums ot
money, nor any thing bat the rations he just men-
tioned ; and they were given to a very moderate
amount. The expense was defrayed by the Consinis-
sariat department; and a return was made of the
quantity of articles furnished in this way.
Lord NUGENT expressed himself pleased with the
explanation just given by the Noble Lord ; but he
must at the same tune observe that no allowances what-
, ever osighi, to be made to soldiers except theme which
had previously come under the head of military se-
I couats laid before, and voti d is that House. It was
not his intention at present to submit any motion to
the "louse on this subject. Ent be wished that tr
House might he there-
