They gave rife to no dileuffiun, and were ordered to be reported to-morrow. Lurd Vdcount BULKILY? was fworn and took his feat. DIVORCE. The Order of the Day being read for the fecond reading of Markham's Divorce Bill, Counfel and evidence were called, froth whofe natement it ge nerally appeared, that the Petitioner was the Rev. Dr. George Markham, Dean of York, and fon to the Archhifhop of that province—that he was mar ried in June 1789, to his now wife, Elizabeth Eve. lyn Sutton, and daughter of the late Sir Richard Sutton, Bart. of Norwood, in the county of Not tingham ; that they lived and cohabited together until the month of OEtober, 18ot, when it was dif *covered that a criminal and adulterous intercourfe had taken place between.the Lady and John Faw cett, Efq. of Faceby, in the county of York, who was a Captain in the Militia. In confequence of this difcovery, the Petitio ner, Dr. Markham, brought his aftion in the Court of King's Bench, Weilminfler, againft Captain Fawcett, for criminal converfation with his wife, and obtained a judgment againft him for ;wool. damages. The ufual proceeding for a divorce a menfc et lbw), were afterwards instituted on the part of the Petitioner in the Conliftory Court of the Archbi fhop of York, where a fentence to that circa was obtained. The iffue of the marriage was to children. Mr. Gaseow, Counfel for the petitioner, called the perfon who was (errant to the Dean at the time when Mrs. Markham's infidelity was ditto. vered, as a witnefs to prove the fad of adultery. This man Rated, that his Matter and Capt. Fawcett lived upon the moil friendly terms together. He underilood from the converfation that took place at table. while he was in waiting, that Captain Fawcett and his Matter had been fchool-fellows at Virellminiler, and fellow Rodents at Oxford. From feveral circumstances that occurred, and obferva ttons he could not help making, after Capt. Faw cett's intimacy in his Mafter'sfamily commenced, he began to entertain fufpicion that an improper connetlion might take plate between his Millrefs and Capt. Fawcett. Once particularly the gave a letter into the bands of the witnefs, and ordered him to convey it to Capt. Fawcett, who was Ra tioned at the time at no great dillance. He had fufpicions that this letter contained an appoint ment, and took means to afcertain whether or not thefe fufpicions were well founded. He had the letter conveyed according to the direftioo, and kept upon the watch about the houfe to mark the confequence that might follow. He obkreed the window of the room in which Mrs. Markham fat alone, drawn up, but covered with a curtain. It WAS on the ground floor. Capt. Fawcett appeared and looked about him, but did not obferve the witnefs, who had concealed hinsfelf. He law the Captain go up to the winclow,draw the curtain,and get in; after which the curtain was again drawn Upon the window. The witnefs then ftept op, and ;drawing back the window curtain, looked into the mom. _ _ _ Mr. GARRovt.—Have you any doubt after "'bat you faw that the adultery vrasatittally committed? —Wither.. I have not. _ _ _ Mr. Gmtaow—Did the Dean and his wife live on good terms together ?—Witnefs. They did. After this was finned, * was found that the witneffes were not ready to prove the fag of the marriage. Thefe were his Grace the Archbilhop of York, father of the petitioner, and Cap tain Markham, of the Admiralty, his brother.— Notice had been fent to them, but they were ab fent from caufes which made their attendance im• poffible. The LORD C/WICILLOR propofed, therefore, that the further confider-46°n of the fecond read ing of the Bill Ihould be delayed till tomorrow. The Noble and Learned Lord, at the fame time, adverted to the manner in which the property, which formed the marriage dowry of Mrs. Mark him, was fettled by the marriage contra& He Rated that its real amount, as well as the amount of property fettled on her by her hulband, and of legacies which had fince accrued, were not fatis feelorily mentioned, and therefore additional evi dence was neceffary. The motion for putting off the fecond reading till to-mot row, being therefore put from the wool tack, Wilc agreed to. HOUSE OF COMMONS.

Lord Foterroes.— ,, I rife, Sir, in purfirance of the notice I had the honour to give yefterday, in order to move for copies of all correfpondences of which his Majefty's Minifters may be in potter refpeCting the Cape of Good Hope, and the negotiations which have taken place on that tub jet, if any, with the French Government. In doing this, I with to be tinderflood as by no means defirous of interfering in the halt with any fubfiß ing difiuffions between the negotiating powers ; though, confidering the length of time during which the Houfe and the country have been kept in fo difagrecable and inconvenient a Rate of fuf penfe, there are many, no doubt, who would think no motion improper, the objet of which would be to take the difcuffion altogether oat of the weak and feeble hands to which it has fo long been committed. But however I myfelf may be difpo fed to incline to that opinion, I (hall not now offer any tending to involve the general queßion, par ticularly as notice has been given of another mo tion in a very few days, if the Minifters do not render it unneceffary by a previous and fatisfaeory communication. I than therefore let out by de claring, that if the Minifters explicitly fay that the motion I meant to have the honour of fubmitting would be likely to interfere prejudieially with any exifting negotiation, or difcuffions with foreign powers, I than abflain from making it, and Apo- Inglis to the Houfe for whatever trouble I tray have already given them.—[This did not produce any obfervation from the minifterial fide of the Houfe, and the Noble Lord proceeded.)—l fhall urge but a very few obfervations to enforce the propriety of the motion I am about to offer, and (hall not enter into all the details in which this im- portant fubjett is involved : but in the few words , I have to fay, (hall have occafion to refer to fome documents which cannot of courfrbe confide*ed as authentic by this Houfe ; I mean the declarations made nu the part of the French Government. I am driven to have recourfe to thefe, becaufe our own Government hat been fo tenacious of with holding any information, that the only authentic documents received, have been made public by the Government of France. This is the mote un fortunate, as, from the communicatibm made' through unofficial channels, the Houfe add the' • country has had only the unfatisfa&ory intbrmaz, don, that fometimei orders have been given to give up the Cape, and that at others, coudter.or ders have been given to retain it. The laft ac counts tell us that the Cape has been finally given up, but theindecifive manner in which the bafinefi has been condated, affords matter of very mate rial and important confideration. We know, how ever, to a certainty, tharafter the Signature of the Definitive Treaty of Amiens, orders were fiat out far the ceffion of the Cape, in conformity with the flipulations of the Treaty. It is al,/ known; that in the month of Odober„ at the time of the inva fion of Switzerland by the French arms, a con& derable flir was made in this country, and mili tary preparations were going forward in our ports: No official information has been laid before the Houk, by the Minifiers of the Crown, to es abbe us to judge of what fort of interference, if any, wag made by the Britifh Government on that occafion a but it is pretty generally underflood that orders were then fent out to retain or retake the poffeffion of that important Ration; and the French docu ments inform us, that the poffeffion was retained by the extraordinary mode of recapture and capi tolation. As information has been fo long with. holden, it is time for the Houfe to esercife *aright of demanding from his Majefty's Minifiers a full and fair explanation, without being confined, at at prelim, to the Ratements contained in Gad French documents, which we are not allowed tql confider as official. By adopting the motion I have now to fubmit, this refult at keit will follow, that oti comparing the dates of the feveral orders fent out, with that of the Meffage, which has kept the country in Inch uncertainty and alarm for thefe two months pall, we may be enabled to fee hose far they were both connected. Ido not conceive how the difclofure of this can much interfere with any other difiufficiss between the two Govern.. menu. The Meffage Rated, that there wWe portant negotiations pending, and that prepare tions, were in the mean time, gr idg on in disports of France and Holland. The French, however, deny the truth of this, and deny that any difcuf fions were pending, or any armaments-making id the ports alluded to, bat what had been going forward in the fame way for a confidnable tinge before, and ever fince the conclufion of the peace, and during the time of the lag &Rion of Parlia ment. It is, therefore, impoffible to cemjeCturs what thefe difeuffions could be, to which the Met rage referred, except they rllated to the Cape of" Good Hope, or to the 'fiend of Malta.— Subfequently to that period, Bonaparte made communication to the French nation, fimilar to what is given here in his Majelly's Speech at the opening of every Setfion Of Parliament, and in which he plaided to inform them rerpeiting the Rate of the French nation. In this review there was little that breathed much of hoftility towards us. The Fit aConful, indeed, obferved, that France had reafon to complain of England's not fulfilling dW condition of the Treaty of Amiens, and (till conti nued its troops in Alexandria and the Cape of Goal Hope ; and added, that intelligence had been re. ceived by the French Government, that Englil 'Weis bad arrived at both thole places, to convey the troops home. Nes explanation on this head had fince been given by our Government, but it is sea. • finable to Safer that the infamatilla was erne a tee
