Their I.ord,Mps then prociteeed to the consideration of Duo .. daa's Divorce B•ll, which 'loud fur a second reading ; when 'llse Earl of LAUDERDALE presented a Petit.oo from the Lady (Mrs. .1a:.1 Dunda4), praying, fur tlse reasons therein assigned, that their Lordships would please to arloum the • second reading of the bill until the judgmenrof the Consfstory Court of I.undun•in the case should be heard and considered by the House The I.ORD CHANCELLOR thought the Petition deserving of attention, and proixred, as the most eligible mode of proceed ing, a course analogotus to that adopted by tl.eir Lordships in examining whether petitions in cases of writs of error, may not be for purposes of undue delay ? He should therefore move that the Petition be referred to a Committee, on which the Agents of both parties, and the Proctors employed in the Ecclesiastical Court upon the case, should attend, as the best mode for aster. raining the merits of the ?Alarm. 'Fbis proposition meeting the concurrence of their Lortlihie, It was so ordered. The Committee to sit on Tuesday next, and to whim day the further consideration of the Mill was adjourned. Several Private Billa were brought up frum the Commons, by Sir Jell CI GRALIAM, Mr. PIT r, and other Members, and read a first . titne.

AINSLIS. Sir ROLERT HERON said. he rase f (*.the purpose of offer leg some explanations in vindication of the conduct of a Gentle man who hulls a distinguished post in his Majesty'a.service, and wl,oae character had been deeply implicated by.teme late re'sen'ts in tha , House. -He alluded to General Ainslie. If he could have the remotest • idea that this Gentleman had been guilty of the citric laid Us his charge, he would be the last per snn to &mad forward in his detente; but, unfortunately for him the documents which be had transmitted in justification of his conduct. bad either. been Intercepted or lost at in. • Sir 1 1 / 4 obert therefore hoped he should be indulged , by-being allowed to lay qit the table certaiu tinoffiCial Papers transmitted by the General to Mrs. Ainslie, and toutalnhig the particulars of the trannctqa. The PY.AKEIt sorgested to the Hon. Gentleman that the course he was 4king could haw so dr.:et, as no private papers of any description witplteeer could be allowed to be laid on the t•tble of that. Howie. r bl. HEItON then observed, that a full neer/mit of the transacvnit had beet) transmitted by the General to the Office of Carl of Liverpool, but had not yet been received.

He bad 1, • (. merely asktd, If what had appeared in the newspapers Were founded on fact Mr. ROSE, on moving for leave to bring is a Bill to revive the Convoy Act, and continue the same during the hostilities with America, took a view of the origin of the measure in 1798; he alluded to its revival at the recommencement of the war in 1803, , and intimated, that as the Bill was now about to expire, it was deemed necessary to revive and extend it to America, in the same degree as it had hitherto been extended to France. After some questions by Mr. Thornton and Alderman Atkins, respecting the operation of this Act on Convoys to the Baltic, which were replied to by-Mr. Rose and Mr. Croker, leave was given to bring iu the.l3lll. SHIPS IN THE SLAVE TRADE. MroROSE, without any prefatory remark, moved that leave be given to bring in a Bill, to allow ships captured under the Slave Trade Abolition Act to be registered the same as British • - Which Stock was afterwards purchased by the agents .of the Sinking Fund, at an expense of brokerage, atc..) with the money which had originally been at the disposal of the Public, and might have been directly applied to the service of the Public, without any de lay or expense whatever, and the amount of the loan and the necessary increase of Stock much diminished. The Hon. Gentleman instanced the loan of Novem ber last, when, he said, Government were obliged to raise a loan of £22,000,000; this they did, by.crea ting about £39,000,000 of Stock. At this time no less a sum than 512,000,000 was lying in the hands of the Commissioners, and was afterwards applied in the purchase, at a very considerable expense of near half the £39,000,000 of Stock so created whereas if the 512,000,000 thus lying in the hands-tif the Commissioners, and afterwards thus applied, had been at once applied as part of the Loan, only 1310,000,0 W would have been borrowed, and only a small portion of Stock, comparatively speaking, have been created ; and the difference of expense arising upon a Loan of £22,000,000 and Je10,000,000 have been saved to the Public. The Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving for returns of the quantity of Stock purchased °by the Commissioners within alw mited period, and the sum paid for each £lOO. • The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in replying to the statement of Mr. Grcnfell, sail that upon examination of the subject, he was persua-A ded the operation of the Sinking Fund, as to the pro.- fit derived from it by the Public, whether applied tes.i, the purchase of Stock or in aid of the Loin, would be much the same. The great question therefore would be, which would be most to the advantage of the Public, when the effect which would result from . ' the plan suggested by the Hon. Gentleman upon the. monied market , was considered ? The Right 'lon. Gentleman then proceeded to take a review of the effect which the purchases periodically made by the Commissioners of Stock had in keeping the Funds steady, which, he said, if those purchases were dis continued, would be lost, and the Funds, without, that certain support which they now had by these purchases, would sometimes be depressed so, much as would prove highly injurious to the Public. With respect to the operation which this would have in.re ducing the amount of Loans, it might, perhaps, as the Hon. Gentleman had said, in some instAccs rc.. duce a Loan of £2!,000,000 to one of £10,000,000; but he must be allowed to state, that it might per haps be lound more difficult to find Gentlemen who would advance 810,000,000, without the prospect of the Coinmissioners as purchasers, than it would be for the Public to borrow 522,000,000 with that pro. soLct. These were the reasons which induced hith to differ in opinion from.his Hon. Friend, although. at the same time he was most real) , to confess, that the House and the Country were under great obliga tions to him for having called the attention of Parka. mint to this subject. Mr. S. THORNTON also opposed the.proposed meastves, which would have the effect of depressing the Funds most injuriously. It was a singular but true circumstance, that the Funds to-day were seven per cent. lower than they were the day before the abdication of Bonaparte WAS known. This depres sion, he believed, had arisen from a report' that had gone abroad, of an intention on the pat t of the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, at an early period, to fund a very large sum. The. CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said a report had certainly gone abroad erroneously of his intention to apply for a very large :um. He certainly did contemplate the necessity of a further Loan, but not to the extent reported ; nor had he at present any intention of funding any very consider able sum. After a few words from Mr. MARTIN, in support of the present system, Mr. GRENFELL replied, and the Motion was agreed to. The Mad house Regulation Bill was ordered to be further con sidered this day week. Mr. ROSE moved that a Committee should be appointed to take Into consideration, In the mean time the regulation. neces sary to be adopted respecting Mad-houses in chi United Kingdor Lord PALMEI&S I'ON obtained leave to bring in a BM for Regulating the Allowance to Innkeepers. Tbe Crown Lands and Brandy Export Bills went through, Committees, and tke Reports were ordered to be received to morrow. • 'I he Exchequer Bills in Aid Bill was passed.

Mr. WHITBREAD said, as she Slave Trade had been thus incidentally mentioned, he could not omit the opportunity of ex pressing his hope, that now the wormwas about to-enjoy he blessings of peace, this nefarious • rade would be discou ntenanced and condemned b y ' all the Powers of Europe; and that all the in fluence of this country would be used, if necessary, to induce diem to put an end to so infamous a traffic. He would wish to ask the Right Hon. Gen.leutan whether any communication had been made to the Allied Powers relative to thiinfhject ? Mr. ROSE answered, that it was not in his power to give any information on the topic. Mr. WHI I'BREAD replied, that he was sorry for this, be cause be well knew that measures were now tiikiog in thiscotin try to resume that detestable trade, by persons who had been formerly engaged in it. Mr. CROKER obtained leave for a Bill to in-prove the lin hour and Light Houses of the Isle of May. On the motion of Mr. WILBRAHAM BOOTLE, a Com mittee. was appointed to inquire con c e rn.ng tlie number and rate of the children apprenticed by the various Parishes of London aad its environs. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved, that the names of the defaulters on the late ballot fOr the Galway Election Committee be called over; which, after some observa tions from Mr. Whitbread, was agreed to. The names were then called, and the Defaulters ordered to attend the ballot on' the 19th of May next. A Message from the Lords announced, that their Lordships had agreed to certain Local and Private Bills. LORD WELLINGTON. Mr. FREEMANTLE wished •to know, whether any directions had been transmitted to the Envoys with the Allied Powers, to communicate to Lord Wellington the events which had taken place from the 31st of March last ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could assure the Hon. Gentleman that no posnble step had been left unadopted, to inform his Lordship of the great events at tile end of March. Mr. FREEMAN i'LL replied, that this answer was by no means sltisfactory ; he wished to know at what date the dispatches were _first sent to his Lordship ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could not Say. Mr. rlt EE.MANTLE resumed. He said he ?mold move that such documents and papers, or switiciat , extracts from them, be laid before the House, as would shew what steps had been taken by the Envoys with the armies of the Allies, or by the Government at home, to inform Lord Wellington of the events hs France, (tom the Slst of Mardi to the 12th of ApriL. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUF4t said, howeir greatly the unhappy waste of blood that had lately occurred was to• be deplored, he was convinced that ti'e retort. , would shew that there had been no delay on ativ pact. Mr. FREEMAN I'LE said, that his only object in moving ior The papers was to obviate or diminish those poignant feelings in the breasts of the unform• nate relatives of those who had so lately been killed, by convincing them that the calamity had been una• voidable. . . DANISH PRISONERS. Mr. HORNER•wishied to know whether orders had been issued, or whether it was the intention of Goveinment to order the continuance of the detention of prisoners, subj ects of Denmar k ? The CHANCELLOR qf the EXCHEQUER, as we understood, Uid, that no such orders lud been issued. Mr. WYNNE thought it right that the Parliament should be informed vinedier or nut we are at war with the Norwegian nation? - • Ti,e CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied, thist die Htluse'must be aw.tre that the Go• vern!nent of this, c6untry could only recognise Nor way as a part of Sweden. Mr. WYNNE then gave notice of a motion for to. morrow, rehitive - to the state of the intercourse between this country and Norway. • SINKING FUND. Mr. GRENFEL L. rose to bring forward his mo tion on the-subject of the Sinking Fund, and car menced by moving, that the clause of the 26th of the King, allowing part of the Sinking Fund to be ap plied to the service of the year ; which being read, the Honourable Gentleman said, he trusted he should not be suspected of any wish' to embarrass Govern ment by the motion he was about to bring forward, 'hut that his real motive would be attributed to him t insasely, a wish to draw the attention of the House, *and his Hon. Friend (Mr. Vaitiittart) more partici lady, to this important subject. The system of the Sinking Fund was so well known that it was unne cessary for him to go into it. He considered the 26th of the King as the foundAtion of the Sinking Feria' and he considered the Sinking Fund as a system sim ple in its operations, yet as a measure that had done more towards supporting our credit as a nation than any measure ever adopted ; he trusted, therefore, he should not be suspected of harbouring an intention of proposing any measure to injure that system. Mr. Grenfell then proceeded to take a review of the for. , oration of the Sinking Fund, and particularly to thibt clause of the Act which allowed the Commissioners tai apply any part of the monies in their hands to the ser vice of the year by way of loan. This had not been the usual mode of applying it; but the Commissioners had been in the habit, as they had been empowered I to do by the Act, of laying out the money at their I disposal in the purchase of Stock in the 3 per Cents. Now, what be wished the House to consider, wait which of the t' o modes of application would be most 1 beneficial to the Public ? Mr. Grentell then entered into an extended review of the operation of the Fund in the purchase of the Three per Cents. and -conten ded, that the operation was nothing less than to keep up the price of Stock, and to cause the Public itadt -go to 'a bad market—that bad market created by the demand the Public its, If had made upon it. He eon , r touted, that it would be more advantageous for Go. -eataunent to take that sum which the Commissioners h*d in their hands, and thus reduce the amount of the Loan, than it would be to barrow a large suit AS a loan at a disadvantage of a premium, and thus co send a large quantity of Stock into the market • ST.
