Now of the leading poiots, for . - mesly considered to importaot, were moue* touched.

Bus this the Noble • Earl refuted to do. Allowing that the publication by the American Government was calculated to be pernicious, he (Lord Liverpool). l determined to wait until . the mischief was done, be forChe gave the explanations,. by which alone it could be prevented. Their Lordships were to be kept in ignorance of the prottedlogs of Government until thr; period when the only Patier left totheta,would be that of expressing their disapprobation. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said t he did not rise for the purpose • of . prolonging :the cotrVersttion,' but in . bider to give the Noble 'Earl an opportunity" of disclaiming, as he was sure be would be able to do, a charge made by AmeriCa. The Noble Earl could slot` be ignorant that it had been most distinctly, charged- against the British in America, that in tht Southern States our Naval and Military.

Hi begged Gentlemen opposite would not•lauglt belt,* the yokm.mon the authority.pf a pamphlet which had' been published on the Continent, and which he aduld consider as atithority to be relied on till he heard it satisfactorily contradicted. Mr; PONSONI3Y wished to know why the article, dated the Ist •of March, binding us to maintain the Russian fleet, had not been laid•before thehousesoonert The CHANCELLOR of. the EXCHEQUER said, the delay probably originated in the ratification being pnstpnned. Mr. PONSONBY said, it was unusual that Tree. ties should not be sooner laid before the House; and still more unusual to find the Minister of the Crawn incapable of accounting for. the delay that had taken place. Mr. BATHURST said, the whole substance of this Treaty had been stated last Session to tie House by Lord Castlereagh. There was no disrespect to Parliament intended. Mr. PQNSONBY said, be remembered no such communication being mark during last Session. • ' Mr. TIERNEY said, it was now plain, that when Parliament hick in November, it was to grant money, but itoppearectillat this was a had time of the year ao ask questions. It was a monstrous thing to be tol that they must not ask questions about a formai Pi per, signed s hy Prince Repnin, and approved of by Lord Castlereagh, atnnesingi by one stroke of his pen, the whole of' Saxony to Prussia. Mr. BATH uRs - r. did not believe, that any such paper. existed. The subjects on which questions had been asked were now under negociation ; and, Unless the Honse would take away its confidence in the Noble Lord (Castlereagh) it would nut -agree that it was proper for inch questions to be answered. Mr. 'f said, that, if they found the Con piess wereempliged in the monstrous task of hand ing over one State to another, it was dreadful that their Ministers would not inform them if their Pleni- .potentiary was any party to transactions of such a nature. 71f the. Right Hon. Gentleman would not give information on the subject of that Document of Priece Reppio, he would make a motion on the sub . . . ject tcomorrow. Mr. BATHURST said, the House would see that else 'object was under negotiation. ' . Mr. TIERNEY said, all he complained of, was, that •these thiogs had been negotiated, and were not pogociatiog. 4lr, WHITBREAD believed that he had read 0 the House tile actual words of Lord W. Bentinck' letter to 'the Neapolitan Government. The Right tion. Gentleman knew perfectly whether he had, or had not. If Ministets had received no intelligence rgspecting Saxony, they might well accuse Lard Cai. tlereagh of not having a very high opinion of his col. leagues, when he kept them in complete darkness as to all his actions and desigtio The delivering up of the devoted,Saxons was an act of the most horrible ipipstice. All men shuddered at the deed. The act e wes dune, and whether it could be revoked or not, the' disgrace was incurred. The fate of • Poland and of arena was equelly fixed. The. CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ,noticed tire inconreniencies resulting from these dis .r.rderly discussions. Sir C.

Mr. HORNER. thought it no very extraordinary or unprecedented proceeding, that before immense Aims of money were granted some questions were put for information.: if it were: irregular, the irregularity • originated in those who maintained an unjustifiable :silence. The House was entitled to know the state of the foreign relations of the country ; no answers were required as to events of yet doubtful issue 0..-; Ministers were interrogated not as to crimes meditat . ing,•but as to crimes actually perpetrated. - (Nur, !mar.) An Act•of the haw.st and must IMkOrtiffrable aggression was complained 91, alot no vindicotioe or dowlaimer was put in. •Who . woold believe that Eqg. land, Whiiharrao long MOIM inciissfully resisted the issurpationa' of- an'iklevidual, Was now becoming, in het turro;the itmaderof bights and the destroyer of liberties.

(1:144w, *hr.) AS to Ame rica, Mr. Horner did flatter himself that the question of a new boundary was now resigned by our Nego tiators at Ghent. For our maritime right the coon try would fight to the last—bet for extension of terri tory it would not willingly expend a shilling. Mr. sygLLEOLEr VOLE maintained, that a sufficient ground had already been laid tor voting the money : the grant was not required for the Russian fleet, which had been so much discussed, but for the army estimates. He was astonished that the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Whitbread) should venture to put p question to Ministers upon the I.undation of a mere pamphlet. 64 We (said the Right Hon.

Mr. PONSONBY said, that by the American Constitution the President could not do otherwise Lord PALMERSTON said, his object at present was to ask for certain soms on account and he moved a resolution, that 204,386 men 6e voted for the land service of the year; TIERNEY wished to know what proportion of these were employed in Belgium, according to the Convention ? Lord PALMERSTON said, it was never usual to state the division of force employed for political pur poses. Mr. TIERNEY said, he knew there were 75,00 Cf men in Belgium; but he wished to know 'what pro. portion of this 214 SBd men were employed there The CHANCELLOR of The EXCHEQUER said; we laid 15,000 Hanoverians there. Mr. W BRE AD SA id, then we had just 9 ),00n men there. He doubted the Right Hon .Gentl. min wanted to keep the Allies ignorant of the force 'vs had in Belgium. He wished to know if this country had been bound to pay the 10 millions for toe :vim& of the fortresses in Belgium ? (No answer being given) Mr. Whizbruol said, the impresario on Use country would be, that we were to pAT it, lions no answer being given to his question. • Mr. BATHURST hiped be would not ask ques tions and draw emnlosion! too. Mr. BARING reprobated the conduct of Minittert in calling on the House lot- large grants of Muney to supply a numerous army, without affording to the House the necessary information as to the distribu tion of our force. There were in the papers received from America such pretensi.sns„that it was impossible • Iset they rnesd Mire produced the sensation in Ame rica- whieh ttey have. If that be our mode of seeking peace with America, he was afraid we should never attain it. Ifjour Government intended to continue the war in that. quarter, it would be necessary to lend • out a very large force early in the next year. Worn this subject should corne before the HoUse he wnutd • chew that we had beim at war for the last iii months without any just cause. ' • Mr. S I'EPHEN contended, that the American Government were not bound by the constitution tb ley accounts of pending negotiations before the Congress. Mr. PONSONBY contended, on the contrary, the President could snake no Treaty without At:mining it to Congress. The Hon. Genclem in hoped Mi nisters would never sign peace with America upon the demands made by the American Commissioners. With regard to the keeping up 75,000 men, the Treaty which bound this country to maintain such t force, in concert with the three other Powers, was an provident one. It France was to be kept done, and that was the object of this conjoin force, It should have been the policy of Lugland not to have given up certain possessions. Mr. STEPHEN admitted that the Congress must ratify any Treaty entered into by the President. Mr. PONSONBY maintained that the. demands, whatever they might be,. must be first submitted to the Legislature, before it could be sanctioned by the • President. Mr. BARING observed, that the sire lea moo re ferred to in the American negotiations, was a de mand of nothing less than one-third links of the United States, on the N ,and thereby set up the Indian inhabitants as Inde pendent. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER wished Gentlemen to rec , llect, in discussing th clues. tion respecting America, they were proceeding upon the supposition that the negotiation was broken of, when, in point of fact, he had already stated tti the contrary. Mr. ROBINSON conalbied chit the points in dis !epsilon at Ghent were fuer. namely—the Impress. went of Seamen—the giving up of the Indian Terri tory—the Division of the Boundaries in respect to the Separation of Canada from the United States-..and fourthly, the Fisheries. On the first and third of these questions, the COMMIlliNiOlletS were not empowered to treat; but, on the srcoad and fourth, they had re. ceived instructions. It was clear, therefore, in respect to the line of boundary, the Negociaticm was not con cluded. Mr. PONSONBYanaintained, that the Commis sioners were empowered to treat, and he gathered so much from their own declarations, but they were not instructed certainly on the question of ceding any part of their territory. Mr. BA It I NO insisted that the question of the Ca nadian boundary had never been settled, nor could it be settled by Treaty, for this reason—the line of boundary from the River to the Heights had never been taken. Mr. ROSE, adverting to the Constitution of the United States, read an Extract from thst Document, which chewed that the power of making Treaties was vested in the President, subject to the concurrence of the Senate. After some further conversation, the Resolution was agreed to. A Sum of £3,552,658 was then voted, towardt defraying the expenses of the Land Forces up. to chit 24th of June.—The Noble Lord then moved, that sum of £10,900 be granted for paying the expenses of five troops of dragoons, and 13 companies of foot, employed on the recruiting service in India. A Sean of £215,000 was the. , mused for, t o p a y the militia corps, disembodied, from the 25th of be. cember to the 24th of June next.—The Nibble Lord observed, that the embod , ed militia were provided for, by a previous grant up to the 25th December. An estimate of six months bad only been taken, wpm", 'Sag that no more money would be required for that force, and toe present sum was to psy OS itsOOO w wets reduced. The sum of £35,000 was then votes( for the pay o often' thficcr, (noccaciwu a Ittsistruct) up t•
