I .Thsi Aferqnesto f L ANISDOWN said btwlsbetla
gond°. er oble Fled whom he torn saw in'his pla.e.
He wished to know from the Noble Earl if be was enabled
to state whether his hlejesty's Government. had reerived any
communication relative to any treaty enticed tato by the
Continental Powers for the military occupation of S• itzer-
land bythe Austrian troops. A rumour had reached him,
which he hollered was wall f ended, that an arrangement
had been made, and a treaty signed on the elst of March, in
virtue of which the troops of Austria were oectipOng the
whole of Switzerland. Their Lordships must be aware that
a measure of this kind would be mos of great importance
in the present state of Europe, and that it was proper they
should be in possession of the earliest possible information
on the subject.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL said he would.most readily
give any information upon this or any other subject which
might have come to his knowledge ; but he assured the No-
ble Marquess that his Majesty's Government never heard of
any such circumstance, nor did he himself hear of any ru-
mour of the kind, until about half an hoar before, when it
was privatelymentioned to him by the Noble Marquess. His
Majesty's Ministers bad no knowledge even of an intention
on the part ofthe Continental Powers to take military pos-
session of Switzerland.

Untie) hoped that the case of the petitioner n ould he
taken into facoulable consideration, as- his off. ode was

put to in consequence was overwhelming.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL defended the course

STANDING ORDERS. •
Mr. HUSKISSON, in compliance with Lis notice;
called the alention of the House to the Standing Orders •
respecting the introduction of Bills regulating trade.—
He gave a history of the circumstance which g ire rise to
those Orders, and contended that one of those Orders did
not apply to the case of the Spitalfielda Att Repeal Bill,
which W4B io progress through the House. That Bill,
instead of enacting new regulations; bad for its object 'o
repeal existing regelatiens and restrictions in' trade. lie
thought, also, that nothing could be more absurd than
to refer a Resolution considered and adopted in a Ccon•
mince of the whole House to a Select Committee .
stairs. lithe construction contended for were to be put
those Standing Orders, it was impossible to proceed
with busineis in that House. It was competent for the
Hon. Member for Yorkshire (Mr. S. Wortley.) as he staled
last. night to refer a Bill to a Commits e up stair, but
that twat be in compliance with a vote of the Home,
and not in obedience to the Standing Orders. The P.!.
Hoc Gentleman said that with respect to the second
Standing Order, be Lad sumo doubts, and be therefore
moved that the said Standing Order be referred to a `e-
lent Committee; to report ,their opinion on it to the
flows, , a to say whether it ought to be continued on
their Journals.
Mr. STUART WORTLErsititended that the Stand.
ing Orders did apply to the present case; but he had no
objection to the Select Committee.,
Mr. DENIS BROWNE agreed with the Hon. Mem-
ber for Yorkshire, that the Standing Order ought not to
be dispensed with.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER explain-
ed the object which the first establishment of those
Standing Orders had in View. It would be impossible
for Government to proceed while inich impediments were
thrown in their way, with the establishment of trade on
those liberal gronnas, which was so much approve'd of.
through the country, and which they would effect, if
they were supported by the House.
After a few words front Sir R. FERGIJSSON, deny-
inga ostr.etrients of the Hen. Member for Yorkshire
respelvollk the utility of the Bill, the stamping of linen
in Scotland.
Mr. CA LCR A FT supported the utility of the Standi
Orders, and did not thiok a Committee necessary. Ira
war convinced the Standing Orders were made to apply
to easerwith like one before the House,
Mr. BROUGHAM said, be rejoiced in the Bill of the
Right lion. Gentleman, which went• to remove celoas
and impolitic restrictions on trade. Being of that opZ-
nion, he hoped lie would not be suspected to throw any
hope lioients in ita way by opposin to it the Standing
Orders. He was glad the Right ifooouraMe Gentlemen
opposite had at length become converts to free trade. He
was of opinion that those Orders ought to he referred td
a t

Lord MILTON thourrbt it would be more advisable to
have the Bill itself referred to a Committee.
Mr. RICARDO said that he remembered that the
Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer bad elpres‘ert
himself on a late occasion in she same terms thit he had
done that day. if the Chancellor of the Excheqqer ex-
pected to gain a great deal of fame and receive herein'
and renown throughout the cow:try without meeting
some observation and dificulties, be expected that which
no predecessor of his in office ever enjoyed. fie hoped,
however, that his Right lion. Friend would not he de-
terred, bet that he would persevere to get rid of thcese ob-
noxious laws.
Mr. CANNING said that be would oftir a few merit
in explanation for his Right Hon. Friend. What he did
complain of was (and perhaps justly) that brims accused
of being accessary to the vices of the whole system, ever;
at the time when he was doinglais best to correct the
most notorious parts. it was his (Mr. C.'s) opinion, on
a review of the whole case, that it would be better to
go into a Committee for the consideration of the claim..
Lord MILTON said a few words which were /LA heartt

to the gallery.
Mr. F. 131;N:TaN wished to ascertain what coarse the
Horourable Gentleman opposite intended to on-sue
with respect to the petitioners un the Spiftlfirld. Wra.-
Vera' Bill.
Mr. HUSKISSON said that if the Cotitmittee ed
forced the clause, could not be brought ti-Twart
in any reasonable titnithin the Session. 1f the Coin•
mince decidisd against it, and that the Bill was brought
io, in that case be would proceed with and in some stage
(he di .I not know then to what rage.) he would give ell
indiviilwils who considered themselves in any WA y plc-
judlced by it, an opportunity of subniitttnl their opimuu
to the Honey.
Mr. PETER MOORE wished to see the eptestien of
the Standing Order brought to an issue, and be hoped
it would he got rid of, He had a Bill beture the !lease
which if carried would have the etfict of repealing forty-
four obauive 9r uttnaccrary Acts. ,His Buil was cir.:u-
lated under the sanction of the How throvittont tie

• INQUIRY zpno.THt CONDUCT OF TILE SHERIFF
OF PLIIIILIN.'
sir R. HERON said that it was important for the
/louse to be made aequainted with the actual state of the
inquiry into the .conduct of the Sheriff of Dublin.—
There were in London at least 50 witnesses waiting for
• etfamiiiation at a great expense to the public. and with
no doubt great inconvenience to many of them. The
evidence GT some was not likely to produce much public
advaniage, and perhaps would be not asked a single
4 oi,,n. Every one must have observed how very
Ole the examination had latterly' gone, and what
the information was obtained from the concluding part
tte
of the evidence. He considered that some day should
be appointed beyond which the House would not proceed
any further in the husiness.• Either that should be
(Mite, or the inquiry be at once given up, to which he had
si!, objection. ,•
Cofoncl BARRY said, that when the Hon. Baronet
spoke of no inforination being obtained by the late ease
hd nations, he overlooked a fact which had-been elicited,
ol 07 kreatest intprirl4nce, in his opinion. As he had
4 Idertaken the defence of the Sheriff, be should, in
fairness to him, carry on his defence to a conclusion, and
lie shook! be sorry that the inquiry should terminate Un-
til full justice was.at aired. .
Sir ft. HERON explained, and proposed Monday next
is a proper day to resume the inquiry.

EAST'
_AND %VEST INDIA SUGAR,
Mr. W. urmTstottE rose, in pursuance of notice to.'
move for a Committee to inquire into the dude, payable
on East and West India Sugar. He regretted aatilie
important subject had not fallen into snore Competent
hands. He implored the deep attention of the House,
which the subject was so eminently entitled to. With a
*Jew to simplify the question, he should consider it un-
der three distinct heads. First, with reference to the in..
.terest of th e consumer in England; tdly,witb reference to I
'tlie interests of the Government of I ndia ;and, lastly, with
ireference to the interest of the West India Colonies. As
to the first, he was sure it was not now necessary to
show that it would he for the benefit of the consumers
that their market should be open to liberal competition.
He was not aware that any ground of exception could
be found in this case. • The House was aware, that there
was an extra date of ten shillings on one soil, and fifteen
Shillings on another description of East India sugar,
' over and above that on the . West Indian article. 'l'be
Holt. Member then entered into a short calculation to
sbow that the monopoly of the market by the West In-
dian planters cost the consumers in this country no less
than two millions a-year sterling. The Hon. Member
then proceeded to the discussion of another branch of
the subject, namely, how for the interests of the Govern-
ment in India was affected? India had undergone seve-'
rah revolutions. It was conquered by various countries,
and notoitstaoditig that various dynasties bed been im-
posed upon it, it underwent no change so striking or im-
portant as that which has occurred since the opening of
the trade with that country. The consequence of this
was, a market for our manufacturers beyond our most
sanguine expectations, particularly the woollen and cot-
ton manufacture.
For the year 1815; the amount of woollens ex.
ported to India, was X;084,340
And for 1822
But the most remarkable of all was, the increase of cot-
ton manufacture.
In 1815, the quantity exported to India amonst-
ell to .. 109,4135
And in 182°.
Such an increase was a proof of the great advantages de-
rived to this country from an open trade with India. Of all
the revolutions which that country underwent, -this car
tainly was the greatest, wh..ther considered in reference
to the immense distance, the manners and customs bf the
natives, or the low price of labour in that country. It
was one of the most remirkahle instances oldie effects-of
the steam engine and machinery, that the raw material
was:brought from India, manufactured in England, sent oat
again to India, and sold there at a cheaper rate than the
natives could make It. There was nothing like this to be
found In the history of trade : it was true that we have ror-
nisdy mipplied the Netherlands and -America with woollen
.eleths, eta ebrapeerste than they could prodseetheßunder
similar circumstances ; hut !list we Should h.fre thine so in

its importance merited. Hut the West Indians were
not satisfied with a duty of 10s. and an additional ditty
of ss: was afterwards added. It might be then pleaded
in favour of this ditty, that the colonial system was iq

which might then he considered fair and just no longer
existed. Bit efts supposing the exiSterice of a charter
—would ft constitute a right against an extension of
trade ? He attain referred to Ireland, to show that the
agrieulturisti of tegland would on the same grottndi have
had a right toprevent the passing of the Hill of 18416,
and guard against the competition of Irish produce in the
English market. He did now complain that such an Act
passed. On the contrary, he fully participated in the feelings
of the agriculturists of England, who much to their honour.
did not oppose that Rill. Therefore, supposing even that
the charm, did etist, there was a case exactly in point
sashimi the continuance of its privileges.. It was said, that
the time was adverse to the coasideration of this quastina,
as the West India Owners were now involved in great diffi-
culties. This he admitted, but his objeet was only to in-
quire into the ceases of those difficulties, certainly not wish
calew to bring East and West India Sugar into competition,
• Ile thought there was only one mode of relieving the West
India planters, and that was by a gerieral change in toe sys-
tma. As long es slavery existed to its present state, anti as
long as an overcharge continued on freight, so long would-
Slam distresses continue. lie would not have said that as
talteratjon is the system was necessary, without knowing.
that it was possible. It was impossible that tiny
country cultivated only Sy slaves •coule compete with those
countries which were cultivated by freemen.„ To allow the
increased advantages of abolishing slavery, be need only re-
fer to an ancient as welt ail modern times : to Poland, to,
Russia, and South America. There was not a political eco-
nomist or a statist who did not hold the same opinion. Mr.'
Cux, in his work on Poland. stated as a proof of the advan-
tage of having the land cultivated by freemen, that e Po-
lender named Sobieski, who had enfranchised seven districts.

' tar course. it cmld not be otherwise, for the cause of hu-
manity sad interest were got divergent from, but converg-
ent to the-same point. He would not compromise the ques-
tion upon the understanding that Government would 'leech
half way, because it generally Was the fate of such questions
to fall into complete oblivion. Unless the Committee were
granted hie, he would feel it his duty to divide the House.
He trusted he had now stated enough to induce the ilouse to
go into en inquiry. Ile did not call for any alteration lu the
present system. He only called fora Committee to Inquire
if an alteration could he effected without detriment to any
party. Justice to India demanded this concession. Its re-
fusel would be the continuance of an act of atrocity, nut
only most unjust, mr.--t unfeeling, and unfair, but full of dan-
ger to the country. • The. Hon. Member concluded by mov-
ing for a Select Committee, to inquire into the duties payable'
on East and West India sugar.

Mr. C. It. ELMS•gald that, if ever there war a ques-,
lion unfit for inquiry, it was the present. It was not a
question of detail, requiring local information, or the
examination of nitnessess skilled in the manufacture of
sagar., It was a qtestion of high State policy, and in-
volving gnat interest:. The question was, whether they
'wtilld sacrifice their West India Colonies to encourage
some private speculati sus in trade. Among the area-
ments used io soppott of this measure, there was one
'class which he would notice, and Ise entered his protest:
against its application in 'the present instance. It
was that . class of argument which supported the
doctrine of an unrestricted and unlimited commerce. Ile
slid not generally deprecate the argument, but he pro-
.tested against its present application. What the Hon.
Gentleman called tor was not a free trade, because it
would ultimately secure the monopoly to India. it
would be a uteri transfer of monopoly from one country
to another. With' resod tir another argument of time

Mr. RiCARDO mild that if env Gentlemen were

they must have been greatir eneisoled by fht speech
of the lion. Member who had jest opposed it ; for he
proved that no injury could be done to the West Indies,
be *blowing. the competition of tile East. The Honoei-
afde iltember for Sandwich had stipporsed political eci -
Dome, and he should contend on that speech that there
was no danger Irons admitting East India sugar iutn
the market. The speech he &Soiled to was made in
1309. This argumenton that occasion was, that there
was nodinger in admitting Feast In-lia sugars, whilst
the price was below the price in the Continental market.
The lion. Member then read an extract from the speech
of the lion. Member for Sand%vieh, from which he it
(erred that East India segar was to he admitted into the
market. Unless the abject of the lieu. Gentleman was
to limit tic quantity of East India sugars, and thereby
insure a rensueeratitig price for West Indio sugar, he
knew not what the lion. Member meant. It was said
they had made a compact with the Planters of the tl'e,t
Indies. lie knew not what that compatt was. Ile
could not conceive that any country was hound to ens, r
into a compact against public advantage. If any such
compact had been male, it ought to be rescinded. The
H.on. Member for notaries thought the country would
lose all the ditties to be derived front the West India sugar
trade. lie did not wish to sari-live the interest of West
India Colonies. If they could prove any breath of
faith, he should not support the adverse interest, but be
would not consider that to be .the case. How could sugar
