By Order of the Board, R. H. CRAW, 3aretarr. EAST INDIA CHARTER. Lord HOLLAND rose to pre?nt s-veral Petii tions, praying for Peace. His Lordsh;p s lid, it was the unquestioned privilege of • a Peer to present any Petition made in proper terms, and it might be suffi cient merely to state the object of the petition, but its this instance he found it due to himself to state a few words to the House. The Petitions bad been in his hands some time. They were from persons of res spectability, principally engaged in trade, who had conceived this to be a proper opportunity to present them, as there was a probability of putting an end to the war. They stated in respectful terms the eolith nuance of war, expressing a hope that every attempt might be made by the Government •to make peace on advantageous and honourable grounds. In case the enemy should demand any thing derogatory to the security and welfare of the Country, they were ready to make every sacrifice in support of the na tional honour. The Noble Lord observed, that when the Petitions were put in his hands, he endeavoured to dissuade the Petitioners from presenting them to Parliament, conceiving there were some doubts on the propriety of presenting any Petitions to Polio. , ment on the subject, because it was not reasonable to suppose, at that time, any Petition of the Sort would be listened to. The Petitioners had, however, since done him the honour of entrusting the Petitions to him, under the wish that he would present them. In giving his opinion against the presentation of the Petitions, he had not laid down any principle against Petitions for Peace ; on the contrary, he conceived if that object could be obtained on a fair and honour able foundation, that it was the duty of every Mem ber to urge it. His Lordship said, he understood that hopes of Peace had been raised by the brilliant. successes of last year, and that the Prince Regent's Government would take steps, in conjunction with our Allies, and enter into negociation for Peace.—. He did not mean to deny, that such intentions and wishes had not been felt by the Government under certain circumstances, nor did he rise to give notice of any Motion on the subject of the Petitions. He was only anxious to express his sincere hope that a report, namely, that it was the intention of Govern ment to wrest from the enemy all they had acquired during twenty years back, before they listened to Peace, was untrue. If he could believe that persons at the head of the Government would only hear of Peace on such terms, he should think it his duty to interfere, and bring the question before Parliament. —lf he could for a moment believe that his Royal Highness the Prince Regent's Ministers had made themselves parties to papers he had , seen, purporting to be a disposition on the part of the Government to overturn the present Government in France, in fa vour of a former Monarchy, he should undoubtedly make an application to Parliament, because he was convinced there was not a single Frenchman in ) France that would not spill the last drop of blood in battle against such a cause; nor were there many Englishmen who would spend a farthing in support of it. Until such a design was made manifest, he should content himself with disbelieving it. His Lordship then adverted to a misrepresentation which had gone forth on a former occasion, respecting his opinion of Peace, unconnected with the independence and future happiness of the Spaniards. He had never uttered any sentiment of that description. He con ceived the independence of that country highly ne cessary. No man, he thought, would acknowledge that motives of generosity and policy should be re linquished with respect to Spain. He conceived that the honour and faith of Great Britain were pledged to promote the independence of Spain, and when he said that, he alluded to the Government under King Ferdinand the Seventh and the Cortes. He was willing to obtain it by negociation rather than war. Even if it was to be obtained by sacrifices, negocia tion would produce. less than the sacrifices by war.' —Still, under all the circumstances, he could never consent to abandon the independence of that country. The Noble Lord concluded by presenting the follosy.i, ing Petitions, signed by persons styling themselves) friends of christianity and humanity :—One from, Melbourn (Derby), a second from Bakewell.(Der-1 by), a third from the same place, a fourth from Loughborough, a fifth from Ilchester, a sixth from Derby, seventh Castle Donnington, and three others from the same vicinity. They were severally laid on the table. Lord HOLLAND then presented nine other Peti tions of the same descriptiun from the town and neighbourhood of Nottingham. They wete received as the Petitions of persons signing them, and laid on the table. Marquis WELLESLEY rose to move for papers connected with this important question, and having adverted to a statement mule on a former dad, namely, that the subject would be diFew.sed by a simultaneous proceeding in that House, expressed his surprise that a proposition had been since made to go into the question, without any preliminary communication respecting the object, and views of those who had projected this great and imp ortaut question. His Lordship conceived that previous dis cuAion was absolutely necessary, in order to do their duty, and intimated that he shuuld, in movirug far 4 . • • . , - - -la •idltr it Orir .'",ligde' . . • NCB—HALPPBANY. • - _ _ .. _ ... ......
