GREAT. BRTTAiN.--EioUse OF LORDS
Corn Importation BiH.--The Earl of Liverpool,
in moving the order Of the day for the third
reading of the Corn Importation Bill, said, their
Iordships would recoliect that the sense Of the
amendment, proposed the other night, did not
seem sufficiently clear, and that 1t was thought
better to take it under consideration out OF
doors. than in the House. That had sccord-
ingly been done, and though he believed that
the original words would have fully answered
the purpose, change bad been made, with re-
specific the words, parcels, or number OF par

question had arisen, whether, it any portion
was sold or transferred to another, he would
be entitled to the benefit or the act. The OPT
mon was, that the purchaser was entitled To all
the benefits the person from whom he purclia-
sed was entitled to There was another Cir
cumstance which should be rightly understood,
that the bill was simply Permissive; and the
whole object of the clause now inserted, was
beneficial to those who entertained Jealousy
respecting the BILL
Noble Earl as to the meaning OF the clause, but
he regretted that certain words were still allow
ed to remain in the bill. He meant those which
referred to corn, meal, and nour, either ware

possible TO expunge those words

The Earl of Liverpool then moved the third
reading of the Bonded Corn Admission Bib
The Earl of Maimes6ury expressed his ear

the power given them by this bill. II II snouia
be necessary, he was assured they would Use
their discretion in only admitting small guam
tity at once, and it would be well If the Noble
Earl would SO state his intention.
The Earl of Liverpool hoped as much as the
Noble Lord, that there might be no necessityto
exert the power. lie had, however, before sta
led, why il was the duty of government to ask
for it, but he admitted that it was not to he ex-
ercised. save in cause of great urgency. Inc
occurrence Of such case didnot dependbpon
their Lordships, nor upon their Deliberations,
but on other causes. He hadno doubt that m
the exercise of the power, all proper caution
would be used. While proper effect was gwen
TO the bill, every caution would be used, ana
every care taken. so as to press as little on The
agriculturists as possible.
After few remarks from the Earl OF I.au-
derdale, Lord Calthrope, the Earl OF Liverpool,
and the Earl of Limerick, the Blu was read
third time, and passed.
CAUSE OF THE GREEKS.--The Earl Of
Darnley, before they went into the Order otthe
Day, begged to remind the Noble Earl Diver
pooll of his answer respecting the conduct OF
the French government towards the Greeks.
The Noble Lord had said, that it was bona hde
neutrality. Their conduct upon this was like
that with respect to the Slave Trade, which he
might term humbug, or, more politely, pers''
fage. Every day ships and munitions OF war
were shipped off to the Pacha of Egypt, and
within few days they were sent to him under
the convoy of French corye,tes. lie would ask
whether that could be called neutrality He
also understood that there was difference be-
tween the treatment of French officers who en-.
gagged in the service of the Greeks, who were
deprived of their hslf.pay, and those engaged
with the Turks, who preserved theirs. In or
der to ascertain how the matter really was, he
would move for copies OF all communications
from his maiesty's consul at Marseilies, relative
to any supplies which had been sent from that
port to the pacha Of Egypt.
The Earl of Liverpool said, that he had ne
yer before heard such motion, and that too
made without any notice. The motion was for
the purpose of their Lordships taking into their
hands the prerogative of condemning the exer-
else OF power which referred to two bellige-
rent parties. There was no doubt that. on some
important occas ons, Parliament might induce
the Crown to interfere with the conduct of pow.
ers protesting neutrality between beliigerents;
but that was never TO be done without grave
and serious cause. Then with regard TO the
particular Guestion--what WAS the cause' His
majesty was at peace with all the world. This
country was neutral as well as France AS neu-
trails, il was the object of both to preserve the
peace, and when peace was broken, to use the
best means in their power to reconcile the bel.
ligerents. But what could be expected from the
Noble Lords motionl Any interference OF the
kind he proposed. so far from doing good, could
not fail 10 be attended with positive evil The
French government acknowledged the principle
of neutrality. There were two WAYS OF acting
upon that principle. One of those, and on which
we had lately acted, was to declare, that none
Of the subjects Of this government, should en-
Ter into the cause OF either rarty--the other
Was that Of permitting them to enter into the
service of both sides The latter had been the
former course OF this couhtry, as the TACT oil the
