HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY, JOSE 15. Mr. WHARTOV obtained leave to bring in a Bill to prevent the mak ing of starch liom giaille.....The General lnclosure Bill went through a Committee. Tile Order of the Day for the third reading of the Sinecure Bill bciog real, a great deal of discussion took place on sonee of the clauses, and iieveral amendments were adopted. The Biil was then read a third time with..iut a division, and ordered fur further coesideration on Wed nesday. Lord Cns rent EACH said, there was a motion standing for Thursday next, respecting the appointment and payment of the salary of Colonel M'Mahon, as private Secretary to the. Prince Regent ; he had it now in power to state, that the salary of that office was to be paid out of his Royal Highness's own privy purse. --(Cries of ! /eur !) Mr. SHERIDAN gave notice, that he would un Wednesday bring for ward a motion for further and more ample information on the late ne goci itions for a change of Ministers. His purpose for bringing this torward, was to explain his own conduct in consequence of what had been said in a previous debate. Lord Yaamoom said, he was unaware of his Right Honourable Friend being absent when he spoke the other night ; tha - , however, be ing the case, he thought it incumbent on him to-re-state the words he used on that occasion. lie did then state to the House, that it was the in ention of the greater portion of the Household to resign, and that they were prepared beforehand to resign, had such a change of Minis ters takeu place as was then contemplated. He next proceeded to relate what had passed between the Right Hon Gentleman and himself.— " We happened to be both together (continued his Lordship) one even ing, at a place where we were in the habit of meeting, and the Right lion. Gentleman said to me, " I hear you are all going to resign ? !re plied. "It certainly is so ;" To which the Right Hon. Gentleman re turned, " Then let me recommend it to you as an old friend, to think. better of it, and not resign." I replied, " that what he said should al ways have weight with me; and it was agreed that we should lvve a meeting next day, when we might talk over the subject." As the Right Hon. Gentleman did not come at the hour appointed, I did not see him on that day, but we saw one another attere. artls. Mr. SHERIDAN here rose, and submitted to the Noble Lord, whe ther he was not anticipiting the discussion of V.'eti;:esday. lard Ymtmou rn said, he was perfectly .wiling to abstain from t.ling any thing farther, and the conversaticm therefore dropped. the House being in a Committee of Supply, WALLACE moved a Resolution for a loan to the Fast India Company. The motion was opposed by Mr. CiIEEV EY who represented the Company to be fifteen millions worse than nothing. Mr. C. GRANT, one of the Directors, said, the Company were not indebted one farthing to the Country, aid what they did owe, their India revenues could, if necessary, pay off in two yearit, After a debate of some length, a division took place—in favour of the loan 74; against it 3. The sum of 5,200,0001. was voted for the Army F.xtraordinttries of Great Britain and Ireland, for the year 1812. The sum of 15,0001. was %aced for the Commissioners of Military Enqulry in Ireland, and seve tar stnaller sums for different miscellaneous services. The House then resumed, and the Report was ordered to be brought up to-morrow.— Adjciurned. TUESDAY, JUNE 16. ORDERS IN COUNCIL. Mr. BROUGHAM rase to bring forward his motion on the Orders in C , uncil. It was not, he said, neceAsary to prove to those who had heard the evidence, that the merits of the case lay within a very narrow compass ; and those who had not, he would soon convince that the cala mities of the manufacturing districts of the country were of such a na l'lre a 3 not to be paralleled by any former ercurnstances. It was melan choly to hear the respectable aged men, who bad appeared in evidence, lamenting, not the injuries which they were themselves sustaining, but that they could no louger continue to relieve those unhappy persons who ,had b een empl :yeti by them. The Hon. Gentleman then spoke at some length . of the petiti o n s w hi c h w er e he a p e d upon the table against the Or ders in Council. Those Orders, he said, were issued protessenly tor the protection of trad e , but they had so far failed in answering than purpose, that aher four year 3 trial of their friendship, all Warwickshire, York shire, and Lancastershire cried out at one time against then, and in fact the whole cou n t r y, w i t h one vo i ce , d e p reca t e d th e ir assistance. He nest t ad% erted to the excesses practised upon the machinery, to thu applica- . %%run made to the Courts of Law to enforce the statute fixing the rate of t, ages, to he numerous petitions for the abolition of sinecure places, and s '..","e.against th.: monopoly of the East- India Company. All the,e, he ,° . !( l , , n . riglnated in the system of the Orders in Council. The diiitresses w.uch that system had marked tlatt country were wily to be compared THE NATIONAL REGISTER• 373 to those which occurred when this city was formerly visited by a plague. At that distaessing period, ace °lbile tv t hiatory of the times, msn were seen frautiely t unnieg out of their boluses front their dying families, and asking advice of my one whom they might chance to meet, eagerly de - taining the passetager, as if by coninioni. min to him the infection, tliev could hope to revive the dyi tie or the dead at home, and cure themselves. As at that day all circumetatices tended to murk the public calamity, at this all went to spew the sl king stet.: of el:e coutory , and the magni• tude of the ide spreadir a evil. One !omitted v.itnesaes had been re - amined, and they all agreed, with the exception ef one, in the same stol y, namely, that the districta tow Men they belonged were reduced to com parative beggary. Birmingham, a little while ago the hive of industry, was now reduced to itilenesa ; vast mullitudes were already distnitsed from their work, and those who remained looked to that House for a decision, whether they should undergo the same dreadful fate, or be re lieved from the apprehensions of starvation. After many other forcible arguments, Mr. brougham concluded an eloquent and able speech, by moving. that 46 An humble Adlress be presented to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, stating, that the House had inquired into the distressed state of the manufactures of the country, that the result ot their inquiry had induced them to believe that it was chiefly owing to the Orders its Council of 1807 and 1809, that at the same time that they assure his Royal Highness of their desire that the Maritime Rights of the country should he maintained unimpaired, they recommended the revocation of those Orders, as iejurious to the country, and an unjust inftin,:ement of the right cf neutral Powers." Mr. ROSk replied to many of the statements made by Mr. Brougham, and argued at considerable length in favour of the Orders in Council, so far as they operated in distressing France. It the O; dens were repealed, and the Berlin and Milan Decrees left to stand, America would have the advantage of the carrying trade to the North of Europe, and France would be enabled to export her Iron-work, her linen, silks, cloths, Ike. and to bring back in return the raw materials, a circumstance which would conduce strongly to assist her in rivalling our manufacturee We should in fact by such a step assist to the utmost of our power in giving complete effect to the measures and the policy of France. Mr. A. BARING ridiculed the idea of the Frenclqivalling us in trade, and thought we had much more to fear from America if the Orders were not repealed, for it had been declared by a respectable witness at the bar, that, in his opinion, if the Non-intercourse Act continued for three years, the trade in cotton goods would never be renewed, the Americans now manufacturing for themselves. After urgieg many other forcible argu ments, Mr. Daring concluded by strongly :upporting the mothee Lord Ceseexacaou regretted that so very short a time had been al lowed by the Hon. and Learned Gentleman (Brougham) for the conside ration of this most important question. He deprecated the discussion of a subject involving not only the tradina interest, but also the marl tio:e rights of this country, pending a very delicate mgeciatien. He ad mitted that a strong case of distress had been made out ; bat he begged the House nut to consider that the whole commerce of this great empire was on that account lost. America had not acted a friendly part to wards us. We had only adonied throe measures in retaliation for the destructive commercial hostilities of France. towards us. Theo: mea sures wet e never adopted by us as commercial regulations, and yet Awe riea had joined France in ci)Millerzial h t.iittes against us. His A':ejea ty's Government were, however ; prepared to make an effort to remeve, or at least, inatigate, the distress ot the country as tar as possible, by pro posing to America, that if she would suspend her Non-intercour-e Acr, we would suspend our Orders in Council for a time; bet as the Address propost d by the Hon. Member would inferiere •Nith the Executive Go vernment in the negotiations at present peraling, he could not agree to it; and, in order to get rid of it, should propose, as an amendment, that the Order of the Day be row read. MiS. Whitbread, Mr. Ponsouby, and Mr. Wilberforce, were of opi- Man the proposal of the Noble Lord could net prove beneficial ro the country, inasmuch as there would be great delay in ascertaining how far the American Government would accede to the proposal. They were of opinion the Orders should, instead of being suspended, be revoked for a time. Lord CASTLEREAGII said, the Amsriclin Govemmcnt had pledzed itself to suspend its Non-Inter..ourse Law, if we suspended out Orders in Council.
