difpofal of all furplus monies arifing from the creation of every new tax. The patriots alledge, that they do not entirely difpute against a fair and equitable difpofal of fuch overplus money; but then they inuit, the Crown has no right to grant fuch money in fhameful penfions fo long as there is any national debt fubfifting. When fuch debt fall be difcharged, they infift it is high time for the Crown to exert this affumed prerogative, and not before. We lay affumed, becaufe no fuch prerogative is acknowiedząć, or even claimed by the Crown, within the kingdom of Great Britain; and by the original compact between Henry the fecond and the feveral heads of the Ir.h nation it was established for ever, "that Ireland should be governed by the fame mild laws as England." It was urged, that this penfion was very burthenfome, as it was one thouand pounds a year; it was unneceffary, as it was bestowed on one who had never been of any fervice to Ireland. The Provoft ex. patiated very largely in Mr. Dylop's praife, and faid, that, whenever any motion was made in the British Houfe of Commons relative to Ireland, he always took the fide of the queftion which was for the advantage of it. This eulogium was replied to by Sir William Mayne, and taken to pieces. At length the question was put, and on a divifion it was carried against the penfion by a majority of one, the numbers being for the penfion 105, against it 106. Refolved, that the penfion granted to Jeres miah Dylon, efq; and his three fons, is an unneccffary charge upon the establishment of Ireland, and ought not to be provided for Ordered, that the faid penfion be ftruck off the lift of penfioners upon the establish ment of Ireland. When the numbers were declared, there was a great plaudit both in the house and in the gallery. The Irish Parliament have no pofitive fight to ftrike off fuch penfions as are granted by the King's letter on the revenues of that nation; but they have a power nearly equal, which is, to raife no more money than they think proper; and this they will certainly exercife on the prefent occasion. When the Houfe of Commons of that kingdom waited on the Lord Lieutenant with their refolutions, viz. that feven commiffioners have been fufficient for the collection of the revenue," (fee p. 575) he faid, number of feven, to be commiffioners of cuftoms, purfuant to the feveral acts of parliament in this kingdom." "Gentlemen, I think it my duty to inform his Majesty of the fenfe of the Houfe of Commons, expreffed in this refolution; and I think it incumbent upon me, upon this occafion, to acquaint yen, that I have received his Meaty's. letters for appointing certain comm:ficners therein mentioned, to the number of five, to he commiflioners of excife, and certain other perions, to the The refolution was carried by a majority of 46; and the motion, to wait upon the Lord Lieutenant with it, by a majority of 24. Dublin, Nov. 29. This day our Houfe of Commons being met, the report of the committee of ways and means was received, read, and agreed to. For the current fervice of the year and parliamentary grants many additional duties were to be laid on fundry importations; fix pounds per tun on ali Spanish and French wines; three pounds on all Portugal wine; and five pounds on all wines of other country growth. To pay the national debt a loan was neceffary; and Mr. Flood moved, that the loan might be of 100,col. and that the reft might be made up from favings and repayments. He was fupported by Mr. Barry, Mr. Ponforty, Mr. Huffey, Sir Lucius O'Brien, Sir William Mayne, &c. but was oppofed by Sir George Macartney, Mr. Malone, Mr. Attorney-General, Mr. SolicitorGeneral, and Mr. Clements, the latter of whom declared that there was but 10,6col: remaining in the treasury. At length the question being put, whether the loan fhould be 200,cool. or 100,0cal. it paifed for the former on a divifion, 116 being for the larger, and 96 for the leffer fum. A committee was then appointed to prepare the money-bill; and the house adjourned to monday. The court-party's intention of introducing a land-tax in Ireland is looked upon by the oppofite party, &c. as totally inconfiftent with the interefts of this country. In confequence of which, the counties of Cork, Clare, Antrim, Sligo, Meath, Waterford, &c. have addreffed their conftituents to oppofe any hill which may be brought into parliament tending to levy ́a land-tax in this country. Dec. 10. This day the poll for a member for this city, in the room of the late Dr. Lucas, concluded, when the poll ftood as follows, for Dr. Clement 1521, for Alderman Geale 1079; whereupon Dr. Clement was declared duly elected, and was chaired to the parliament-houfe, preceded by several corporations in their proper regalia, with a grand band of mufick, where he took his feat. Dec. 11. This day, according to order, the motion refpecting the appointment of a new board of accounts was brought on. The debates were long, in the course of which it was proved, by the patriotick party, that the fole ufe of fuch a board would be to increase the number of the court-party; that the expence of fuch an eftablishment would be nine thousand a year; and that, the bufinefs could be done as well by a couple of hon: honest clerks. Sir William Mayne offered to ferve as one of the commiffioners without any emolument. Upon the question however being put, the court-party carried by a majority of five, the numbers being, for the board 124, against it 119. The fuccefs of administration in this affair was owing to many of the friends of their country being ill, and unable to attend. Counsellor Fitzgibbons, after speaking for a confiderable. time against the meafure, was taken ill, and obliged to retire. The debates lafted twelve hours. Oct. 27. MARRIAGES.
