Earl TEM rtt rofe, in confequence of a former n ot i ce , so move for certain papers relative to Malta. In the fit it place, however, he faid, he thould (tate the reafuns which induced him to call for thefe papers. It was agreed in the Preliminary Treaty, that Malta (hould be mitered to the Order as it was before the war, pl.tced under the guarantee of a third Power. By the Definitive Treaty both th. fe Itipulations were infringed ; the Order is not tamed to its fituaticm before the war ; a new lan• szu •ge has been introduced into the Order, incon• ca n. kirk the radical principles of Nubility, on tv'eli the Order is founded ; by leaving out the Fe .a h T.nsme, and introducing ;that of Malta, we have adopted the much deprecated pi inciple of ing with the internal Government of foreign rat o. s; we have joined France in revolutionizing t and crnverting the Order of Nobility into a d• nv , cracv. The Noble Lord then entered into a O. tae t of the revenues of Mnlta, in order to prove we had re:tored slur Order without providing for their ill r p•Ilt. arid CfillCt (tenth . for ling- inde p:ndence. He then rt...ceeded to (hew that a Nea pulitan gal tlf(,n p;tt Malts entirely into the hands es.: France Ole ccntended that Pi tiffa, Anaria, and wm,1.1 not interfere wit!. the guarantee pro. poled to them, and then the at;.or renr:Oned en ti between Great !3: bzia a::t!

The motion was then put and agreed to. Ea;l TEMPLE then moved. " That an humble Addrefa be prorfentcd to hi. Majelty, that he will be gracioutly picafed to lay before the Houk a Copy of the Treaty concluded at Luneville, between the Emperor of Germany and the French Republic." Lord HAWICESBURY laid, he did not rife to make any anfwer whatever in this courfe of the proceedings, which he thought would not be right or regular, but limply to (late in .1 few words why he fhould °Ned to this motion. The fii ft motion of the Noble Lord was for a mere matter of ac count to be laid before the Houfe, and he had of fered no objedioa to it, nor had he airy ; but this was of another kind, and he objeded to it, be caufe no Parliamentar y ground either had been, or could be Rated for the produdion of the Treaty which it called for. Yefterclay Motions had been made, and one of them for the Treaty of Badajos, to which he did not objed, becaufe a fair Parlia. nientary ground was laid for its produlion, and io he did not oppofe it, nor did he, after the Mo tion was modified, oppofe that for the produition of the Treaty of Madrid. The Treaty of Lune ville was concluded a year ago, to which this country was no party, and was not included in the Definitive Treaty of Peace—under thefe eircum ' (lances he did not think any Parliamentary ground I was laid for this Motion. This Treaty could not be wanted for information, becaufe, in reality, they might have a copy of it at almoll every Bookfeller's Shop in this town. But there was no ground for calling for it as a State document; Gentlemen had no right to fay, that this Treaty was in the hands of Minifters. He did not fay it was not; but he did fay, that there was no Parliamentary ground laid for the Houfe to fay it was. Feeling that this application to the Honk was different from that to which the Houk afrented yefterday, that no Parliamentary ground was laid for calling for it, that it had no connection with the Treaty of Peace, nnr with any thing arifing out of it, he took the liberty of refilling this Motion. Mr. T. GRENVILLE was at a lots to fee the dif , tindion why the Treaty of Badajos was granted upon parliamentary grounds, and why that of Luneville !horrid be refufed for the want of them. He would allow that the former was named in the Definitive Treaty, but the latter not. The Houle, however, mull feel that the Treaty of Lu neville had a ftrong and dired bearing upon the fuhjeil now before them. That furely was a fuf ficient reafon why it fhould be produced. He was lorry that the Treaty of Madrid has not been laid before the Houfe as well as that of Badajos ; for it was important to know why Louifiana had been ceded to France by Spain. It might be raid that this was matter of general notoriety ; but he, for one (and perhaps he was as well informed on the fuhjed as mo(l of the feventy Gentlemen who were now prefent), profeffed to be ignorant whether 'Florida was not likewife ceded to France. It was therefore of material confequcnce to the Houfe that fuch information fhould be laid before them, as without it they could form no adequate idea of the relative &nation of this country and of France refulting from the operation of the Definitive Treaty. Has France now the dominion of Italy? That may be Paid to be of public notoriety; but what was the ground of that general notoriety ? that would he Peen in the Treaty of Luneville, where t 1, ,! independence of the Cifalpine Republic is recognifed. If, contrary to the ftipulations of that Treaty, it is now in the hands of France, it is not neceffary to have a document to prove it ; for mull not the (late of Italy materially influence the condition and Independence of Malta ? The produdion, therefore, of the Treaty of Lune ville is fairly called for by the fubjed now un der difeuffion. Mr. PITT raid, that his Noble Friend had not Rated that the Treaty in queßion had, or had not been officially communicated to Government, he merely Rated, that the Noble Lord and the Gen tlemen who fupported this motion, had no Parlia mentary ground upon which they could afrert that this Treaty had been fo officially communicated. But he really could not conceive how the produc tion of this Treaty could be necetlary for the put pore of the debate, nor did he think it could be properly applied; for on the grounds which had hcen Rated, his Right Hon. Friends muR know, that the Treaty of Luneville was not made in conjunaion with this country, that we were not a party neceffarily connedled with it. Whether we approved of the Government of Aufiria yielding to the neceffity which didated that Treaty, was another quellion, but it certainly was nut a Britilh quellion. But on what grounds did the produilion of this Treaty appear to be necefrary to a free, comprehenfive, and candid difcuffion of the Trea• ty of Peace, fuch as tended to convey fubliantial information, to enable the Houfe to form a judg ment. fatisfaitory to themfelves and the Public ? The mode of proceeding adopted by his Right Hon. Friends upon this occalion,. teemed to be to feparate, and to take one by one the different ar ticles of this Treaty ; and by thefe motions, to difeufs each ffipulation by itfelf, inftead of invef ttgating the whole Treaty at once, and deciding upon its general merits. His Right Hon. Friends confelfed, that the fubjeft was not before the Houfe ; they called for documents to enable them to decide, and yet they argued with as much pe• rcmptorinefs and decifion as if not only no further information was necelfary, but as if the queßion• admitted of no doubt. They decided without he- Citation or difficillty, that one Ilipulation was inef feßtial—that another was inconiißent with the in. tete(' of the country—that a' third was difgrace ful, &c. He agreed with his Right Hon. Friends that this fubjea was w be conlitiered with a refe rence to the general fituation of Europe—granted; hut if the Treaty of Luneville was laid before the Houfe, what ufe would it he of at prefent ? H k Right Hon. Friend oppofite to him (Mr. Grenville) had lamented lome of the (limitations of that Ti caty— fo did he. It was, however, new fct :fide by an aft ' of the French Government, which was a new tno-1 nument of the ambition of that country, miffed even between the Preliminary and Definitive Treaty; his Right Hon. Friends oppofite to him and he, did not differ in their opinions of the Chief Conful and Government of France. As far as that conduit went, it might be urged as an objec tion to the whole Treaty. He did not differ from them upon general points, but with regard to the inference that might he drawn from them. The way to confider this fubjeet, would be, in his opinion, when the time for difcullion came, to confider the objeas gained and fortified by the Treaty of Peace, compared with the probable el/eel of a continued profecution of the war, under all the cii cumflances in which Europe was placed, when all the other Powers were making feparate Treaties of Peace, and fecuring their feparate interefls. He had raid, perhaps, more than was rdrceffary ; but he merely Paid this to.fliew the view in which he con fidered the queßion. There was nothing more un• fair, in his opinion, than thus taking die Treat) article by article, and debating it in detail, when the only proper way to confider fuch a lubjeet was to take it in the whole, with all its bearings and objeas ; to confider the fituation of Europe, and the hopes, by continuing the war, of altering its fituation, and to compare them with the difficul ties of continuing the war. His opinion of the fituation and refources of the country was well known—it was fuch as ought not to compromife the fafety or dignity of the country. He never thought fo, and he was now lets than ever in duced to hold that opinion ; we were far (tom having arrived at the ultimate period of our re fources. This was a general queßion, and he really thought that his Right Hon. Friends would do better to wait for the period of general difciif fion, than to adopt this plan, which, Ilrialy (peaking, was not irregular or unparliamentary, of difcufling the Treaty in detail, and making every motion for a paper a vehicle for general am. madverfions upon the Peace. This kind of de bating could anfwer no good purpofe, and there fore he was not furprized that the Minifters de clined this mode of difcuffing, the fubjea, and waited for the day appointed fnr taking the Treaty into confederation. Mr. WINDHAM contended, that we could not argue fo well upon the Treaty of Luneville, nor make fuch ufe of it in the Debate if it were not officially laid upon the Table. The Treaty of Luneville throws much light upon the general queftion, by (hewing in what flare Europe was placed by it. It alit brought to light the bad faith of the Power with which we had recently treated. The utility of having the Treaty of Luneville was then evident ; the only queflion that remained was, whether an authenticated or an unauthenticated Copy of it was preferable ? It was proper to have information—and it was ne cdfary to (hew for what reafon any particular in formation was called for ? The CHANCELLOR nf the Exc If Myatt laid it was for the Houfe to judge how far the hrz...tge of Gentlemen who fupported this m0t..., was that of perfons really feeking for information, or whether they did not rather take a courfe to :nfluence the opinion of the Houfe upon a fiibjeit not properly under difcu(flon, and upon which the Houfe was not now called upon to pronounce any judgment. It was moft certain, that in the way of informa tion, the Treaty of Luneville could afford none, as conneited with the proceedings at Lyons, to which Gentlemen teemed to think i. applicable. Mr. WINDHAM explained, that it was not Dir. canon, but Information, that was at prefent re quired. Sir W. Yovuc raid, that it was only from the Treaty of Luneville we could learn if the connec tion between France and Anftria was fuch, that the latter would be a proper guarantee for Malta. Mr. Jowls laid it was not his intention to trouble the Houle with a long fpeech on this fubjed, nor indeed did he think it would be fair, after the very extended, and, no doubt, extempore oration they had heard from the noble mover of this propofi tion—an oration made up of a bit from Locke, a bit from Lord Somers, and bits from other men of not quite fo much fame (a /ate). He could not help remarking, that though that Noble Lord dif claimed afkins the judgment of the Houfe, he took the utmoft pains to Wads that judgment. It feldom happened that he (Mr. Jones) and the late Chan. cellor of the Exchequer agreed in opinion (a loud laugh)—yet fuch was the fait, that the obfervations of that Right Honourable Gentleman in the courfe of this evening were exaaly the fame as thole which he delivered yefterday. He hoped, there fore, that the Right Hon. Gentleman would for give him for concurring with his opinion on this occafion. He condemned the perfevering efforts of the Gentlemen who fupported this motion to prepoffefs the minds of the Houfe, notwithaand ing the repeated exhortations they had received, the obvious impropriety, and the known unpopu larity of fuch conduit. He would not fay that fuch behaviour was d Ia Yam/in—for that was a phrafe out of ufe—but it undoubtedly was a little i la Porcupine; for curtly the way to promote or hunt, down any meafure, was to bring it forward every day_ . . Gunn cam lapidem non vi. Peace had brought comfort to the minds of the country, and it was in vain to declaim againa it in that Houfe. It teemed the purpofe of the Mini- Rers and of the French Government to preferve peace; and it was wrong in Gentlemen thus to en deavour to excite groundlefljealoufy—to continue the teazers of the public mind. Mr. ALZIANDIR deprecated the prefent mode of difcuffion, as it tended to prevent all Parlia mentary bufinefs, and to prejudice the public mind before the qutaion was fully and Fairly difculfed. Dr. Lawasocz contended, that it was perfaily proper on moving for papers, to go into the dif. cullion of thole points to which the papers related; added to this, it was impoffible to difcufs a fubjea of inch magnitude as the Definitive Treaty, VJ here fo many points were to be con fidered in one de bate, nor- could they go with propriety into that difeuffion without the means of previoufly inquir ing into the details which related to the fubjeft— The Treaty now alked for was one of tv o docu ments, the other being the Treaty of Baddi-T, which related to Malta, and he thought it ongia as well as the latter to be laid before the Houk. The Motion was negatived. On I.ord TED' PL E's la ft Motion . being pnt, ( . 01' 3 Copy Copy of the Laws and Conflituon of the Order of Malta, referred to in the loth and t ith SeEtions of the toth Article of the Definitive Treaty', Lord HAWK ESBV:tY denied that he laid any filch thing as that Miniflers were ignorant of the M.dtzfeConftitution, hut that they had no official document on the fubjeft. There were fome changes to be made in that Connitntion, which would be ;he 1ab1.:61 of future dilcufflon. After a few 'ay Mr. WzNaH•m,Dr.LAW.

Some of the articles are of importance to thofe who are any way interelled in French na tional property. All accounts from France agree that the French Govern - ment (12 * Ji - s — thi molt deter refolution to enter into no commercial trailfaelions with this country. They will receive no Englifh produce, though they will kindly allow Englifh (hips to carry away French wines and brandies. It was yeller. day reported that the Spanifh Government had impofed a duty of 15 per cent. on all Englifh ma nufadures and Colonial produce. This is the in flurce of France, which, by the mandate of So vereign power, Shuts Italy, Spain, Holland, and almoft all the markets of Europe agaioft us.— There meafures prove the hoftility, more than the wifdom of the French Government. • Tiers Confotuli 57 f. 3o c.

In the Sitting of the Tribunate, Monday, Flo. real 13, May 3, (Prefidency of CHADAUD de l'Allier), a fecretary read two meffages of the 1.:- giflative Body, one containing the projeft of a law concerning the prevention of the crimes of for gery and arfon ; the other an amnefty for the crime of defertion committed by fubalterns and foldiers or failors before the ift of Floreal, year April .21, dos. The difcuffion of thefe two laws in the Legiflative Body having been fixed for the a4th, May 14, the Tribunate referred the exami nation to the feltion of Legiflation, to give in tin:r report upon both on the Bth.

But this form of payment, is no longer confiftent with the Rate and liquidation of the public debt, which does not admit of the mil lion of bow of the deux tire, in the proportion of the value of the property, nor with the interest of the holders of bow of the deux tier:, who find a decided Advantage in converting them into inferiptions in the Great Ledger.
