Price PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS. HOUSE OF LORDS, FEB. tS. APPEAL. The Honseproceeded further in the hearingof the appeal, in the ease of " Sheddon v. Patrick," when Mr. Nolan addressed their Lordships on behalf of the respondent. The further bearing was postponed. MESSAGE FROM THE COMMONS. The Commons brought up one public and two private Bills. The public Bill was for the Abolishing the Office of Surveyor of the Petty Customs. Several private petitions were laid on the table of the House. SOUTH AMIRICAN TRADE. The House went into a Committee on the Brazil Trade Bill, which was read paragraph by paragraph, and the report therein was ordered to be made. A Bill for regulating the Office of the Treasurer of the Navy was read a third time. LORD LIRUTVIANTS. Lord ALBEMARLE, on the entrance of the Noble Secretary of State, enquired why six months had been suffered to elapse without supplying the vacancy of the Lord Lieutenancy for the county of Norfolk? Lord HAWKESBURY thought it was not necessary to ez pi* the particulars which had occasioned the non-appointment of 1k Lord Lieutenant for that county ; it, however, would be sa tisactory to the Noble Lord to learn, hat the Deputy Lieute nant was fully compett at to the duties required, and that nothing bad arisen to render such a nomination necessary. Lord ALBEMARLE was a little surprised at the reply of the Noble Secretary. it was well known, that there were many duties of the greatest consequence, which the Deputy Lieute nants, from 'the nature of their office, were incompetent to per form. A variety of papers which bad been moved fbr by Earl Grey, respecting our correspondence with Russia, were laid on the table. ORD.ERS IN COUNCIL. On two motions of Lord LAUDERDALE, it was agreed, that the Papers respecting the seizure of American ships, in conse quence of the Orders of Council, be laid on the Table of the House; distinguishing the ports from which they came, where they were seized, and to which they were subsequently destined ; supplying a separate account of such as had been released according to the terms of the Orders, on the payment of two shillings per ton. -- ---- A variety of pap respecting our coal On two motions the Papers reveal quence of the Orde distinguishing the i seized, and to whi a separate account terms of the Order AM] On the moti Lord AUCI sing of such a under existing had most incoi resentment of ble commercia ask, what goc which must i here by anoth• repealed ? 1-3 necessity of ii I their own imp and the count lamented exu ever, from pi the part of I amity and fai of America. from a contin frain from cl which so deer Lord BA'.

AMERICAN INTERCOURSE BILL. On the motion for the third reading of this Bill, Lord AUCKLAND rose, and deprecated the pas sing of such a measure at any time, but particularly under existing circumstances, at a moment when we had most inconsiderately irritated and provoked the resentment of America, by manifesting every possi ble commercial hostility towards her. But, he would ask, what good was expected to result from this Bill, which must necessarily be suspended in a few days here by another, declaring that all its provisions were repealed ? He saw that Ministers laboured under the necessity of introducing it, but then it was owing to their own imprudence that they had placed themselves and the country in such a dreadful condition. He lamented extremely that there was no prospect what ever, from present appearances, of any intention on the part of Government to conciliate relations of amity and fair commercial intercourse with the States of America. Feeling the great danger likely to arise from a continuance of this systeni, he could not re frain from delivering his sentiments on a question which so deeply involved the interest of Great Britain. Lord BATHURST was as sensible as any of their Lordships, of maintaining a friendly intercourse with America, but surely it could not be expected that we would purchase such a connection by the surrender of our privileges and our rights. He did not think any Noble Lord would deny the Non-importation Act of America to have been an act of hostility. If any doubt could exist with respect to their intention, Noble Lords need only look at the situation in which it placed this country, namely, it excluded our manu factures, without excepting those of the other belli gerent, who was our enemy. With respect to this particular Bill, he should say, that there was no in consistency in passing it, because it was to expire in a very short time, and its continuance was necessary, therefore, in the absence of any other legislative mea sure on this subject. Lord GRENVILLE considered this Bill one of the weakest and most contradictory measures which had been ever introduced into Parliament. Their Lordships knew that while we were in the act of pas sing this measure into a law, the other House of Par liament were at the same moment discussing and car rying another Bill through its stages, the direct ten dency and object of which was to declare the provi sions of the Bill, now before their Lordships, unfit to be continued any longer. Such conduct was sufficient to degrade parliamentary proceedings, and to cast re proach on all our measures. Here the Noble Baron entered into a general view of our conduct towards America, and contended that the Orders in Council were unwise, as they regarded the interests of this country, and highly injurious and insulting toAmerica. Lord HAWKESBURY vindicated the Orders in Council, and expressed his surprise at hearing the Noble Lord (Grenville) state, that America had not done any act hostile to Great Britain. He acknow ledged that the Non-importation Act was not a justi fiable ground of war, considered generally, but when coupled with another act which developed the host& ly concealed under the Non-importation Act, then every difficulty in the way of conviction must be re moved. The act to which he alluded was the exclu sion of our ships of war from the rivers and harbours of America. This was a direct and positive declara tion of war, which the unfortunate affair between the Chesapeake and the Leopard could not justify ; for it became the American Government to wait till they Ind ascertained whether the act of which they complained had been ordered or sanctioned by the British Government. The Noble Secretary then re capitulated most of his former arguments on the ge neral question of the Orders in Council, and concluded with stating his opinion as to the propriety of the present measure. Lord ERSKINE reprobated the measure, as one subversive of the soundest principles of the constitu tion, and involving in its consequences eternal war with America, which we professed to conciliate, but which we used every Parliamentary means of aliena ting from our connection and interests. The Bill was then read a third time and passed,- Adjourned.. HOUSE OP COMMONS. .e This day being the last day al the session for Meeting Private Petitions, a great number were presented, and roginot to Com mittees. Several report* were made from Election Centralises t—Por &skull, in favour of the Petitioner , and against the sitting Mem ber--for Horsham, in favour of the Petitioner, P. Jones, Esq. against Sir Santini: Romilly—for Great °thrift, in favour of Mr. Loft, and against Mr. C. P. A. Pelham. Mr. VANSITTART moved to discharge the Order respecting the Returns of Peruvian Park imported for three years, and that the return be for six.—Ordered. Admiral HARVEY objected to the reception of this Petition, stating, that he was informed some thousand names signed to the Petition appeared to be all in the same hand -writing ; the petition was accompanied by a detached roll of parchment. The SPEAKER enquired whether the Member who presented the Petition was aware of this fact, or whether he knew the contrary? Mr. DAVENPORT said, the Petition had been put into his hand that morning, and that he was not aware of what the Hon. Admiral had stated.—The petition was received without the de tached roil, and ordered to lie on the table. PEACE. Mr. DAVENPORT presented a Petition from the Labourers and Journeymen of Stockport, in the County of Cheshire, stating the distress which they suffered from the continuance of the war, and the exclusion of our manufactures from the Continent. They did not pretend to judge whether his Majesty's Ministers had acted properly or not in not entering upon negociation—but they prayed the House to take such measures as should seem meet to them for affording relief. Admiral HARVEY saw nothing objectionable in the Petition, but there was a roll accompanying it with a vast number of names, which appeared to be in the s ame hend•wiiting, and this he thought ought to be rejected.—The roll was rejected at the sug gestion of the Speaker, on the ground, that it was not p ro p erl y conne cted with the Pe tition.—The Petition itself was ordered to lie on the table. --------- PETITIONS. A Petition was presented from the Directors nf the West India Dock Company, praying aid.—Referred to a Committee. Mr. MELLISH presented a Petition from the Master Bakers, c omplaining of some parts of the Acts relative to the regulation of the Assize of Bread, &c. and praying an amendment.—Ordered to lie en the table. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT presented a Petition from the Jour neymen Bakers in and about London, praying for a Revision of the Act prohibiting the baking of Bread, Puddings, Pies, or Tarts, after one o'clock on Sunday, on the ground that it was ineffectual for its purpose. The penalty being only 10s. for each offence, was too small to enforce it; and they believed, that in very many in stances the law was transgressed, solely from a desire of gain— and that the offences had of late very much increased.—Ordered to lie on the table. A Petition was presented from the Tanners of London, re specting the Regulations about Raw Hides.—Ordered to lie on the table. Dr. DUIGENAN presented a Petition relative to the Paving of the Streets of Dublin.—Referred to a Committee. Lord MILTON presented a Petition from the Clothworkers of York, Wilts and Somerset, against tke employment of certain Machinery in the Manufactories of Cloth. R.eferred to a Com mittee. PILOTS BILL. Mr. ROSE, pursuant to notice, moved for leave to bring in a Bill for the better regulation of Pilots: he stated, that no provi sions existed for examining the qualifications of pilots, so that the business was very generally taken up by ignorant fishermen, and the necessary n sult was an annual lost of great numbers of ships and their crews. Mr. Rose stated, that within a short period five East Indiamen, with valuable cargoes on board, had been wrecked between the South Foreland and the Isle of Wight, owing to the want of proper pilots. The object of this Bill was to appoint Commissioners under the direction of the Trinity-house, for granting licences to persons properly qualified. This Bill should not interfere with the powers already established at any of the great maritime towns, nor entail upon the public any expence be yond the usual charges already paid. Admiral HARVEY seconded the motion, and Alderman Cut xis and Mr. CALCRATT both spoke in support of it. Alderman CURTIS said he should move to insert a clause for remedying some detects in a Bill for regulating the Pilots of Deal and Dover. Leave given, and a Committee appointed to prepare and bring it in. RUSSIAN PAPERS. Mr. Secretary CANNING presented, pursuant to order, Copies of Communications between Lord Howick and the Honourable Mr. Stewart, late British Resident at the Court of St. Petersburgb. --ordered to be printed. - - - - SIR HOME POPHAM. Mr. DENT moved for a Copy of the Warrant for reimbursing Captain Robinson his expences in the Admiralty Court, on a suit respecting the ship l'Etrusco ; the other papers on this business having been already ordered• The SECRETARY at WAR presented Returns of the Effective Force of the Regular and Militia Regiments of this Country.—Or- dered to be printed. SUGAR DRAWBACKS. Mr. HUSKISSON moved for a Committee of the whole House on Monday, upon this subject.—Ordered. Mr. WINDHAM moved for an Account of the Pay, Clothing, and other Expences of the Artillery Corps. for the last year. COTTON DUTY AND EXPORTATION BILLS. Mr. HUSKISSON presented a Bill for imposing a Duty on Foreign Cotton exported ; and also another Bill, for prohibiting the Exportation of Cotton, the Produce of British Colonies. — Both were read a first time, and ordered for the second reading on Monday. Mr. HUSKISSON presented the Bill for prohibiting the Expor tation of Peruvian Bark.—On the question that it should be read the first time, Mr. Tierney, Mr. William Smith, and Mr. Wilberforce, de clared their decided opposition to the Bill; Mr. Huskisson, Sir William Elford, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, shortly de fended it. • Mr. SHERIDAN repeated his abhorrence of the measure, as being cruel : he declared also that it was puerile and ineffectual for its own purposes. A single ship freighted with bark, and fal ling into the enemy's hands, would more than supply the whole Continent. It was not only warring against the sick in the ene my's camps and military hospitals, but with the sick in poor-houses and private society. He had heard of one of our Commanders bombarding a town, where some of the shells fell near an hospi tal; and an apology was made by the assailing General. This Bi!I, he said, was nothing but a measure of war against sickness and infirmity—against the wounded and the dying ; and he could only express bis regret, that his Majesty's Ministers should find that the only Allies left them on the Continent, were, agues, ty phus fevers, dysenteries, and putrid sore throats. Mr. VANSITTART also thought the Bill a measure ineffec tual, and which would only excite odium against this country. It was found by official returns, that the whole quantity of bark annually consumed in this country was 60 tons; the average quantity in Ireland, but two tons: that we imported more bark during the year our troops were on the river La Plata than in any other of the six years before. It was obvious also, that a single sloop laden with bark would supply the whole Continent. The House then divided on the question for reading the Bill the first time—Ayes 14—Noes 40--Majority 34. COPENHAGEN. Mr. CANNING rose and said, that having under stood much clamour had been raised, respecting the refusal of certain Papers relative to the transactions at Copenhagen, and that much calumny and misre presentation had gone abroad, he was desirous, as well in 'vindication and from a wish to clear his own character, as to give every satisfaction to those who thought themselves ill used, that those Papers should be produced. He had, therefore, drawn up a motion for the purpose, which he read, and which was after wards put from the Chair, to the following purport : " For Copies or Extracts of any Dispatches received from his , Majesty's Minister at the Court of Copenhagen to the Secretary of State here, in November or December, 1806, relative to any Invasion or Violation of the Neutrality of Holstein. " Also, Copies or Extracts of any Dispatches received from the Secretary of State here, to the said Minister at the Court of Copenhagen, in Dec. 1806, and Jan. 1807." Lord FOLKSTONE expressed much surprise at this motion. No reason appears offered for their pro duction, and it is little more than a fortnight since every reason was offered by gentlemen on the Trea- sury side of the House against their reduction. he I f t here be necessity for their appearance n ow, was the necessity of refusing them when called for by his aide of the House ? Now that the motion for their production was submitted, he trusted, :that instead of gsrbled extracts, the whole of the correspondence would be furnished. It was only right that this should be done, as justice and honour both called on Ministers to rescue the character of Mr. Garlicke from that degree of unpopularity with which it was t;nged by their conduct in giving garbled extracts of his letters to the House, Mr. PONSONBY applauded the laudable feeling which must have excited, on his own part, in the Right Honourable Secretary, this eccentric motion. But his credit for that fine feeling would have greatly increased, if he had displayed as much feeling for the wounded honour of others. At one time that Se- . cretary reads extracts from these letters—then he re , fuses the originals--now he comes down to the House calling for them himself. How was the House to judge of the propriety or impropriety of refusing or granting them ? The Right Honourable Secretary lad declared, that Denmark had entertained views hostile to. this country, and he asserts, that the late Ministers thought the same. If that be the case, then he should produce all papers, and not extracts or L partial letters, which would give any account of that intention—and he should go back, not only beyond the months of November and December, 1806, but he should advance into 1807 ; and if he did not, that motion which he had submitted, and which was negatived by the Right Honourable Secretary and his friends, shall be again submitted, to furnish them another opportunity by a second negative, of spewing' their inconsistency. Mr. TIERNEY, notwithstanding repeated calls of Question," rose, and with an unusual degree of warmth declared, that never, in the whole course of the Parliamentary history of the country, did any Minister ever attempt such presumption. There was a degree of self-consideration in his conduct that ex cited no small degree of alarm. It came to this, " I did refuse the papers that I now call for ; but finding myself much implicated, and more than I imagined; it is necessary that I call for their production myself." This was precisely the point. These papers were moved for before. The ground on which they were then called for were, first, because the public interest required them ; the next was, because the character of Lord Howick required them. But these motions were both disregarded till that Gentleman discovered that his own interest called for them, and then, lo ! he calls for them himself ! He was tardy, it was true, and he gave him credit for that tardiness. But how was that to reconcile his conduct to his master ? Was he to make his Sovereign wound the feelings of one Secretary of State to gratify the feelings of another ? But, waiving all this,he would be glad to know what were the transactions of the last three weeks, that I caused so great a change in the mind of the Secretary? If that could not be accounted for, the House must now feel the danger of raising a man too high, with out previously ascertaining . his compound qualities. It must operate as a warning how those who so cre dulously fell into his ranks may be grievously disap pointed in their judgment of his real qualifications. Even though he may return them his thanks by witty sallies, bon mots, or seducing speeches, they would, however, soon discover whether he deserved their consideration, or that of his Sovereign--(l4ere there was a very violent cry of Order ! from the:benches of the Treasury.)—Mr. Tierney, after a short pause, pnceeded. He protested that he was not aware of having made any ill use of the Sovereign's name.— (Again a cry from the same quarter of Chair! Chair 1) The SPEAKER expressed an opinion that he thought the Right Hon. Gentleman was exceeding the due bounds of debates • and if such things , were not stopped in time, it might lead debate into great excesses. Mr. TIERNEY, in continuation, answered, that he was not yet conscious of having made too free or ill a use of his Sovereign's name. The question be fore the House being an address to the King, it na turally occurred in free debate, that his Majesty's name must be mentioned—and surely he did not mis apply it, when he appealed to the House whether the conduct of his present Ministers was such as would induce him to grant the prayer of that Ad dress ? It became a question of fidelity and persdhal consideration between two persons, the late and pre sent servants of his Majesty. But the Gentlemen on the other side of the House might triumph in the in terruption which their clamour had excited, as for the present he must forbear saying more than he should oppose the motion. The— Here Mr. ADAM spoke for order. He desired, that the Order of the Day of the Bth February should be read. It was read accordingly by the clerk, from whence it appeared, that a motion similar to the pre sent was negatived. The SPEAKER then took it for granted, that the Honourable and Learned Member (Mr. Adam) in ferred from thence, that a repetition of the same Mo tion was disorderly. Mr. ADAM was about to reply, when the Chan cellor of the Ex4equer rose to Order, and Mr. Tier ney did the sai. The former Gentleman proceed ed. He observed, that the Right Hon. Gentleman had complained of interruption, but the cause of that interruption was himself, by haVing introduced the name of the Sovereign, without 'anyvhecessiti, into, the debate. Mr. TIERNEY denied this, and Mr. W. Smith supported the assertion of Mr. Tierney. The CHANCELLOR of the 'EX C HE QUER then stated, that he was bound to make the Youst feel that the Chair was right. Here the Right Hon. Gentleman recapitulated Mr. Tierney's expressions, I to shew that the Chair and his friends were equally correct in interrupting him. From this topic s the Right Hon. Gentleman entered into a systematic vindication of the propriety of the Motion, convincing the House, that, on the grounds of public necessity and private interest, it was now their duty to enter tain the moticn. Mr. WINDHAM observed, that the Gentlemen on the other side seemed to feel very sore, and the at tempts at humour by the Right Honourable Gentle man (Mr. Perceval) on this occasion, reminded him of children singing in the dark to keep up their spi rits. The observation of his Right Honourable Friend had not been directed to oppose the production of the papers, but merely to impress upon the House the indignity with which they were treated by the Right Honourable Secretary, who carried m att , with so high a hand. He almost wished that n — , vision could take place on the question, for then ii would appear whether or not the House of Corn y would submit to the indignity attempted to b e um upon them, and make themselves obnoxious to the c harge of being a corps drilled to the obedien ce d Right any - Minister. Was it to be endured for a Mot/le tt . t hat papers were to be refused , when called for, to i 7 a , tify the character of a Noble Lord , late in offic e ,4i that the self same papers were to be granted, o n t i t m otion of his successor in the samesauation, and • 'defence of hi s own character ? Was notthe cha ract er of his Noble Friend as valuable to him as that of Right Honourable Gent leman was to hims elf war ned Gentlemen on the ot her side of the H see l med Th perfectly consistent aHonourable t hat they had got a very active commander, watt seemed forward to lead them into every da nger , • which, to use a military phrase, their reputatio ns wen likelyhG isGentle m an, conduct, m o d ü b acn e 4 hf well o u r o wppere he seemed disposed to treat Me however, House with garbled papers, while formerly b e t ad , given them merely garbled extracts. The only rah plea on which the refusal' of the papers now 'es me-'. for could have been formerly defended WU, th a 7O , should rely on the discretion and judgment 0: 4: ssers, as to what shall or shall not be communicate' to the public ; but now we find that the p aw „ quest ion contain nothing, the publication of which could be detrimental to the public interest ; ari d' therefore the House could lever again put f aith- is. any arguments of this kind , which had been prayed by the confession of Ministers themselves to be ea , founded. Lord CA STLEREAGI I felt confident that the; House, in all its determinations, would be sufficien t ly regardful of its own character , and was very far h e i thinking that his Right Heat. Friend had in my re . spect compromised its dignity. The fact was, that when the papers in question had been moved forma former occasion, no adequate grounds hadbeen ilea for their production. They were called for, ferti le ' purpose of rebutting a charge against a Noble Lord,' which his Right Hon. Friend had never made, a d therefore, the House had then to reason whatever fe e their production. He could not, however, help a t luding to that kind of opposition in which entheeee on the other side indulged themselves. They seemed to have adopted a species of tactics, in consequenc e d which, time was to be occupied with any thin g rat h er than the business of the House (Hear! heart) and whatever might be the agreement of both sides of use House on any question, still they would find out some point of attack, some ground of difference. This night would shew to the House, and to the Country, what the nature and spirit of their political Ns-arias* were to be, and that two principal objects with th Opposition seemed tobe, to delay and retard the pub tic business, and personally to attack his Right Ho: Friend, whose character, however, would support is self in the eyes of the House and the Country, in spin of all their efforts.—(Hear ! hear ! from the °ppm. tion Benches.) Mr. SHERIDAN certainly had expected that the Right Hon. Secretary would have prefaced his mo tion with some reasons for moving now for papers which he had refused before. When he heard, how. ever, the observations which had fallen from his No. hle and Right Honourable Colleagues, between whom he sat, he thought that his Right Honourable Friend must have wished them to imitate his own u• citurnity. • The Noble Lord had said, that we wee i perpetually calling for all kinds of information, and, in short, information that was perfectly obsolete— Now, the fict vias, that this motion went to give us the obsolete information, while we called for the more recent dispatches of Mr. Garlicke, with regard to the disposition of Denmark in the year 1807. The lio. ble Lord had also charged Gentlemen on this side d the House with indiscriminate opposition ; now that were two words in the English language, oppose and expose, • which had a great resemblance in sound, and Which the Noble Lora seemed to have mistaken tic one for the other, since his Right Honourable Fried meant to expose the conduct of the Right Honour. able Secretary, and not to oppose his motion. Inati dition, however, to the papers now moved for, he was anxious that the answer of Mr. Garlicke to the dio patch of Lord Grey should also be laid before the House. It was proper that justice should be done Si Mr. Garlicke, whose sentiments and dispatches haw been misrepresented • and with that view be should now propose an amendment, by way of addition to the present motion. The amendment was, that Mr should be added these words—" together with the substance and dates of ali information relative to the state of preparation of the I)anish fleet, and as to tho hostile confederacy between Denmark and Framer„ 1 1 communicated in the dispatches of M r. Garlick i 3 the year 1807." Mr. BANKS submitted to the Hoese, that di' amendment was the same with a motion that had befn negatived in the present Session.
