An allusion had been made to an (ace held by a Noble Lord (Buckingharmhire), but the emoluments had been extremely exaggerated ; and as to the di posal of that of the Crown and Hanaper, with every respect to tho opinion expressed by the Horse' of Commons, he thought it asseming too much to . tutp pose that the Crown should be deprived of appr.iht .ng to thus office, becatt-e one branch of the Legis lature had expressed an opiitioa against•it. It Was well knOwn how large were the emoluments arising to that office on the demise of the Crown, from the renewal of the various commissions and grants throughout the kingdom; but he thought it necessai y to state to the House, that on the late appointment to the office; an intimation had been made to the Noble Lord (Granerd) who ROW holds it; that after assigning to him some certain portion eel the large sums so raised, the remainder should be brought into the Exchequer, and with this condition the office was accepted— (Near, hear.) Mr. BANKES approved of such a bargain, and hoped that, while it was fresh in their memories, some plans would be carried into execution for better regu lating the emoluments of other great offices: Sir J.

He hoped it was still susceptible of proof, that the national character and interest were , not sacrificed by those who now hold the Govern ment. The object with which he rose was, to notice tl the state of our relations with Naples. Last year, I t that Power was one of the General Confederacy, and t t assisted in the campaign against France. That as sistance was procured by a treaty entered into with et Austria, and acceded to by our Minister, of course,' a pledging the national faith and honour to its perfor at - mance. Since 'then, some documents bad appe ir,.d iri the public newspapers, which, if true, exceeied any C thing even in the new diplomatic school of which th • present Secretary of State (Lord Liverpool) was the t i founder. A case of more flagrant injustice aiel per. u Tidy he had never contemplated than appealed upon s the face of those documents. Late accounts stated that war had actually broke out.in Italy between the King of Naples and the Austrian army. • The affair was, he feared, more extensive and dangerous than was at present apprehended. If true, it w. till ope rate as a - material diversion of that confederacy now forming, and must necessarilninjure its undertakings, whether of pace or war, by interrupting that concert on which our best hopes depended. It war was the object, the evil of such a diversion was in:widest ; it peace was to be resolved upon, it might not pet haps be- ton much to !ray, that it would be extrentely doubtful whether France and England contin ire neuter, supposing the struggle betweca Naples and Austria to proceed. For these reasons, he thought his Majesty's Ministers were bound to dccl what was the actual state of our relatltais with Naplcs. He trusted the answer would be satisfactory—that it would remove the apprehensions sugoested by this new aspect• of alf.rirs —or at le Ist that it would ae move from the British Councils tooce iinptreitions against our good faith, which wet:, at present but tot) much countenanced by appearances. The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, C: it the Noble Lord having alluded to other acts of his Majesty's Government, beside that to which his question was directed, and having noticed what he supposed to constitute bad faith and new principles, had intro duced topics that could not. new be ditcussed, though the time was fast approaching when it would be necessary to do se. On the subject ref Genoa they would have an early discussion. On another subject they would have a full opportunity at investigating the principles upon which thisG9vcrnmeat proceeded, in the transactions at Vienna. It would then be seer. upon what side new doctrines were advanced, and new principles asserted. • He could not give any ex planation at the present moment, of the relations be tween this country and the kingdom of Naples. It was true that Austria had entered into a treaty with the King, defray, of Naples, and that our Comman der in Chief bad agreed to an armistice on the part of Great Britain. As tc the particulars of the en gagements entered into between those powers, or the conduct of this Government on the occasion, this was not the moment for explanation. He should be pre ' pared, however, on the first opportunity that offered, to enter into the details ; and he trusted, that what ever opinion they might toms on the other grounds, and even then be hoped it would be favourable, at least they would perceive that the slightest imputa tion against the good faith of this country could not be collected from any of the facts. Earl GREY observed, that as the Noble Lord had appointed ho day for giving the explanations to which he referred, there appeared to be a great uncer tainty as to the period whenat would take place. He should feel himself guilty of a dereliction of his duty, if he did not notice a circumstance so important to the character of the nation. The Noble Lord had alluded to the part taken by this country on the occa sion, as a mere suspension of arms—a mere military act, by which no engagements were made that were afterwards violated. But he would maintain the contrary ; he would say, and he was confident of being able to prove hereafter, that Lord Castlereagh had as much pledged the faith of this country to the treaty, which he had himself altered and modified, as if we had formally subscribed to its articles. His Lordship concluded with giving notice, that he would move, en Monday next, an Address to the Prince Re. gent, for so much of the papers on this subject as would explain the relations between this country and the King of Naples.—The House was ordered to be summoned for that day. • The Marquis of WELLESLEY named 'Friday se'nnight for his motion relative to Sammy. COURTS MARTIAL. Lord EGREMONT moved for Minutes of the Courts Martial on Captain Philip Browne, of the Hermes, Captain Lazarus Robertson, of the Hama• dryad, and Colonel Quantity of fas Nth Hussars. to- Regent. on which he Lad acted without any al ation. The o ffi cers who sat on that Court were so lected as to h ave n o bi as on e i t h er s id e . Th e Ju e Advocate c ou ld no t b e suspecte d o f any , an d th l etter submitted to Colonel P a lme r by t h e Offi cc urd must e o3.nec i e t s l sr lt ily m h z e itE brousgAihdt:fohte.whaardd considered . h officers of the Icecii a fine body in the field ; but la heard they had signed a kind of reund-robin, and hi conduct appeared to him subversive of discipqate nrd MELVILLE alluded to Captain Browo's 2 ;he had been loon! guiliy of so ipping to fight L aster of a transpett, on his own quarter deck e n also ot a tithe muster. The Sauer charge ap-• le ed to rest on a misconception. In the case at ',4 t e l e Roberts, the Court fonnd him guilry on some o . ts, and suspected on others. They were informed re, entente was ;Legal, and a • direction was drawn ? y the Law Officets, pointing out the fitness of A ror accuracy in future. rd CA RNA RVON spoke of the unsettled state of law respecting duels, and the peculiarly hard 1 t oe case of a young Ensign, who after having distin guiihed himself' in the most gallant manner in th e sorge from Bayonne, WAS forced to leave the service for ot fighting a duel, from an accidental rencontre at 13ourdeaux theatre, where he felt himself to be not in the wrong. Lord GRAN r LEY was of the same opinion. Earl GREY thought it a great hardship, that on disgraceful charges a mere general verdict should be given.He was happy to hear that no imputation could attach to the character of any of the officers whose trials were included in the motion. As to the CAW of Colonel Quentin, he was sure the Comman der in Chief was actuetyd by the purest motives; at the eastne time he should say, that before the clecisiem was come to, nothing appeared to him more impro bable than the dismission of the officers. The mo. non did nut prole,s to revise the particular cases; it embraced but merely to form the ground of s om e improvement in the regulations of those Courts; he, therefore should not object to the production of the papers. One fact he wished to ascertain. It was known that Colonel Quentin was not a natural born suhject of this realm, he would be glad to know from the Noble. Lords opposite, or from the Noble Lord on the Woolsack, by what atolioli!y or by what law Colonel Quentin was privileged to serve in A British tegiment No answer was given to t h is. question. The Earl of ROoSLYN sa d that no lawyer could describe in terms, what evisi,nce should be admitted, and what shottLi nut, in special cases, and therefore be should vote against the production of the papers. Earl STANHOPE thought that the Courts in question required revision—that the decisions should be rendered more consonant to the principles of jus tice, and he thought the Noble Eirl had acted meri toriously in bringing the subject forward. The question was then put, and the motion rejected without a division.---Adjourned. . HOUSE OF COMMONS. A petition was received from Dundee, praying a repeal of the Corn Bill. Lord Grottos licatsvoan appeared at the bar. and informed the House that his Royal Highness the Prince Regent bad re ceived the Address of the 14th, and also that of the 19th instant, and that the papers prayed fur by the House should be laid on the table. Mr. BROGDEN brought up the Report of the Committee appointed to Inquire into the Compensamoi to be paid to Officers in the Commissary Courts of Scotland; and also a similar Report relative to the Compeoaations to be paid to the Clerks of the Record Office In Scotland. '1 hey were butte read, and ordered to be laid on the table. SINECURES IN IRELAND. Sir J. NEWPORT rose, in pursuance of his pre vious notice, to move for leave to bring in a Bill for the abolition of certain great Law Offices, in the Court of Justice in Ireland. In calling the attention of the House to that subject, he felt how much his anxiety and trouble must be diminished by the House having, on many former occasions, recognised the principle on which his proposed Sill was established. Several Resolutions had been passed at different periods sanctioning the propriety of such a measure, and leave had been given to introduce a Bill of a similar tendency. He would not, therefore, antici pate any opposition to his intended motion, for the abolition of certain great offices after the expiration of the present existing grant. Those offices were 'accompanied by great emoluarots, were for the most part performed by deputy, and held by persons of the highest rank in the country, who, from their situation, could have no cognizance of the conduct ' of their deputies, and troubled themselves no more about them than to receive the immense profits drawn from the country and the public suitors of the Courts. To give the House some idea of the greatness of those sinecures, he . would mention the emoluments attending some of them. (Hear, hear.) —The Clerk of the. Crown had from £B,OOO to dilU.OOO per annum ► the Prothonotary of the Com- COURT or SESSION IN SCOTLAND. Sir JOHN NEWPORT said, it had been his in• tention originally, on giving notice cf . this motion, to call the attentien of the House to eer:ain Acts of the Court of Session in Scotland, but he fund, 0.3 examining the papers nnw on the table, th.it the do, cuments were inadequate for the purpose of forming a correct opinion on the subject, and that it w,nild be necessary to have before them several other Acs of Sederant relative to the appointment of Tees and Salaries of the Officers of that Court, as practised in former periods. He would, for that purpose, move “ That an bumble Address be presented to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, that he be graciously pleased to give directions to the Lords of Session in Scotland, to lay before the House all accounts and proceedings relative to the fees and emoluments of the Clerks of that Court, together with all acts of Sacrum, from the establishment of the College of Justice to the Ist of August, 1789." After a few words from Mr. W. Dunn/sip th4l motion was agreed to. TREATY UT FONTAINBLEAU. Mr. ABERCROMBIE said, he had been induce,' to bring forward a motion on the subject of the escape of Bonaparte from Elba, because he consider ed it as an event which had had such an effect nn the destinies of this country, and Europe in general, that Ministers ought to be put upon their defence, and called un to state what precautions they had taken, as far as depended on them, to prevent this circum stance occurring ; and to say what information, if any, they had had of the intention of Bonaparte.to attempt his return to France previous to his carrying that attempt into effect? The Honourable Gentleman observed, that he might now, he thought, call for the Treaty of Fontainbleau and that it could not be said the time for calling for it was gone by, since had it been called for previous to Bonaparte's return§ Ministers would have retused to grant it, or to an swer any question upon. it ; as they would have OA tended that in doing so, they would have been guilty of a breach of public duty. What he should nos* do, however, would be to call on Ministers to pro. duce such documents as should prove to the whether they had taken such precautionary measures for the security of Bonaparte's person as they °tight to hare done. Dy some it had been said, that the Treaty of Fontainbleau was an extraordinary exertion of magnanimity on the part Of the Allies ; tie hilst others said, it was cne of hardship towards Bona parte. The latter opinion was one in which he could not agree; since be could not but believe, that at the time of the capture of Paris, the Allies might have forced Bonaparte to any terms, though such did not appear to have been the case; since, from the state. ment of the Noble Lord himself, it appeared, that at the time of entering into this Treaty. Bonaparte was still formidable. This circumstance, the Honourable Gentleman contended, ought to have rendered the Allies doubly Cautious. The Noble Lord had con fessed, that so formidable was Bonaparte., that the Treaty of Fontainbleau was a Treaty of necessity on the part cf the Allies ; yet i though he was so forimi.
