Lord ERSKINE briefly adverted to the great im-
portance of the agricultural interests, and the dete-
rioration which they had of bite years experienced.
Lord DONOVOHMORE agreed with the Nettle
Earl (Liverpool) that a general discussion would be

it was more :heir duty to attend so the subject, ant
titre could be no greater and more sawed dity... Mi-
nisters ought to have made themselves Praiinide ac-
quainted so well with the los%oings of thecae, dirt nu
parts of the petition could strike them unprepared.
They had the power of applying a remedy, for they
had a power that could secu,e their measures in both
Houses. What came from his side of the Horse was
not sure of success. Any great proposition so origi-
nating was rather certain of foilnre. Did Ministers
mean to say, by thowing off this duty.. that thee
had no cure, no alleviation to offer? lie did not
think the Noble Marquis wished to blink the question
of agricultural distress, but at the same time he was of
opinion that Oovernment ought to take up the peti-
tions on that subject, and fairly state what ther pro.
jest was. if the condition of those people was ex-
ceedingly ill, were they afraid, that by asking ques-
tions they would only make it worse?
Lord LIVERPOOL explained, and said, that be
did not mean to give a simple vote on the motion of
the Noble Marquis, and therefore he had declared it
to be his intention not to limit his observations to the
notice, but to state his opinions on the other eubjecte
connected with it in a general way. He agreed: that
if Ministers did not make inquiry it would be a ne-
glect of duty ; bat more evil resulted from impratiesee
and precipitation than neglect—the trade of the
country was an instance. What was to be complained of
on that point, in looking to the state.of trade, and to
the Statute Book, was. not that the Legislature had
done too little. but too mach. They had dose so from
good motives, no doubt, but the mischief was not the
less. Precipitate measures of an individual were bad,
bat they were ten times more dangerous when led um
by Government. •

Lord STANHOPE roe!, pursuant to maim to sub-
mit a motion for the appointment of a Committee to
consider the means and praciesbilitk of givine em-
ployment to the distressed maunfastares. His Lord-
ship observed, that •although the Legislature might
not have the power to restore the peat mass of the
community to the state of Condom and bappinese of
which it had been•deprived,' yet it was its sinty to in.
quire into the calamitous state of firbifc . Q irs, and

great deal of discontent had Arisen from diitross, yet
there had been inditetioos of ditaKertion at plates
where the evil had net boa petalierls oplmessimi. He
was aware that the example of the French Iterebatlon

BANKRUPTCY SUPERSP.DED.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said, that he felt it
his duty to make some observatiour, in reference to
th. **etc ut the petition just laid before the House;
but he tirst wiehri to know from tl,e Noble Earl oppo-
site (Liverpool) whether it was his intention to ground
any motion upon it.
Lord LIVERPOOL stated, that it was the intention
in another place to institute an inquiry relative to the
genetel objects to which the petition referred. But
he should have no objection to u motion upon the sub-
ject, erovided it was properly limited ; and, if the No-
ble Lord did make such a motion, he (Lord Liverpool)
would tat., that opportunity of stating generally what
his views were on that important subject, in order to
satisfy the public mind and, the petitioners. Before
any itiquiry was gone into, it might be of great service
to enter into a general discussion that there might not
go abroad any deception. Whatever day the Noble
Lord tired upon for his motion, he purposed to state
Ibis own opinion. The reason why he did not think
the matter ought to be at present entertained by the
executive was, because investigation would be endless,
unless the Otovernment saw its way clearly ; but he
had no objection to the institution of an inquiry, on con-
dition that it was properly limited. The Noble Lord
bore witness to the exemplary conduct of the inhabit-
ants ot Birmingham, in their present state of.suffering
land distrees. The great mass of the population bore
no.- afflictive change is their circumstances, with a
temper that showed great firmness, patience, aad dis-
tinguished loyalty ; and, he said, they were enti-
tled. on the fiele merement of their grievances, to the
attention, and, if trossil-le, the remediel intetiseence of
OW lieltat, _-_

t Mode et relief, but left it to the wisdom of their Lord-
ships. He had hoped the Noble Earl would have in-
sfituted an inquiry, that would guide the country tu
the true explanation ot the causes let national sudiering,
and 0 e discovery of belt remedy. He should, in
that case., have abstained from givinv- ionic, for a
Committee on the subject : it was of consequence that
such a motion should come from Ministers... No such
inquiry could produce any material advantage unless
it had the co-operation of tioverninent, which most
ensure the concurrence of both Houses. But as the
Noble Ltd, at the other side had declined the tuntion,
be felt it his duty, etas early day, to 'Omit a notice
oral motion op the subject. He did not propuee that
the question, in its most exclusive and complicated in-
terests, should be at present brought bcfote the Houle;
he would confine himself to a practe.able part, and
would content himielf with moving for a Conon.ittee
to investigate the means of extending foreign trade.
He di,' not II:Milli, however, that such a motion was to
relieve the lionse or Ministers from the duty of sifting
to the bottom the source of the evils under which the
nation laboured, and ascertaining the remedy appli-
cable to them. There could be no more sacred duty,
or one at the same time more difficult and ccanpr,hen-
sive. His own shoulders, he said, were nut strong
enough to support so burthensome a load without as-
sistance, and therefore he bad confined his *notion to
the point which he had stated. .
The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, that without op-
posing the motion he would, when it was brought
forward, deliver his opinions on the whole view of the
situation of the country. and the general question in
reference to tureign trade.
Lord OROSV.NOR was of opinion. that the info
nun of tine Noble Mitequis ought to be extended, so sal
to embrace the agricultural, es well as the niansfee-
liering interests. • :
Lord LIVERPOOL thought it would be better that-
the inquiry was not, in the first instance so emend
et
biotite related not to leant: uctares, Lot to foreigt,
`trade, and it was fit that the motion should have von
distinct object ; if it ova, made more extensive it would
perplex consideration, but while the motion was con-
fined there was nothing to. pievent a statement of opi-
nion founded upon a general view.
The Marquis of LANWOWNE concurred with the
Noble Earl (Liverpool) as to the necessity of the mo-
tion being a limited and distinct tone. It watald perplex
to extend his notice to the art icultural interests. A
general inquiry could only lead to end*, inv:ttiga-
tie; i but by limiting each topic of dbenssion Met
Might arrive at a definite result.
Lord tiItOSVENOR explained.
Lord LAUDERDALE thought, that although tip
;negations contained In the great Lumber of fa.: Wl-
cultural petitions laid on the whit were worthy of noel
tee, yet he deprecated a rowel discussion on the
subject ; it amid tend to no alviintage. If such •
inquiry wonreatered into, innumerable facts would

aleiir supply material for saw disputes. Ihe Onwittlet
