Lon Don, SUNDAY, JANUARY 24, MS. POLITICAL El iIATS Or THR fr i fiß Ir. The attention of the Public has this week been chiefly engrossed by the Meeting of Parliament. Thv Address, by pointedly bringing forward the most important and most disputed political topics, has at once called forth all the energy of the Opposition. The chief point against which they have directed their attacks is the affair of Co,. penhagen : and the refusal of Ministers to give any direct proof that they had received previous information of the hostile disposition of Denmark, Worded them a scope too ample for censure and invective. It had been reported, that there existed some difference of opinion on this head between the Members of Opposition ; but the contrary was very clearly demonstrated, by the energetic and de, tided disapprobation expressed by Lord GREN %ILIA:, of the measures adopted by Ministers. It is still more worthy of remark, that Lord SuomouTil, who has always been noted for the coincidence of his sentiments with those of Ills M.L- JesTv, expressed his disapprobation of the attack un Co peuhagen, with a degree of Vehemence and acrimony which his Lordship seldom employs. This circumstance, might give rise to some speculations, especially as Ills ALA JESTY'S reluctance to the measure has not been concealed but Lord IlAwarsauar, whose conneetion with the c ou rt remains unimpaired, strenuously defended its propriety . The Opposition did nut chuse to try their strength against the Address, and therefore it was carried in both t!ouses without a division : but a Protest has since been entered on the Journals of the Lords by several Peers, against that clause in the Address approving the attack of Copenhagen, because nu proof had been brought of any hostile intent ien on the part of Denmark, nor any case of necessity made out. Lord ERSKINE, in addition to the reagons adduced l'v others, has entered into a detail of his °yin reasons : he has examined the quesfion by the law of nations, and minutely considered the respective conduct of the British and Courts : from all which he concludes, that " Until this at.. " tack on Copenhagen shall receive Vindication by proof of " its justice, or condemnation in the absence of it, from " the Parliament of Creat Britain, she has lost her morel " station in the world, since the very system of wrong anti " violence, which she has so long confederated Europe. te. " destroy, at the expenre of her blood and rmources, nig " have been established and confirmed by her own exam " pie." ripe important Protests we have inserted. The official accounts have been published of the sur render of Madeira into our hands, as a deposit during thk. war. This is a matter of some consequence to this country. but of far more to the island, which derives its whole opulence from its wine trade with Britain. had it fallek into the hands of our enemies, its inhabitants oust have, been ruined; and we cannot, therefore, wonder that the ar rival of the British troops should have been so heartily welcompd. To this country, it might have been of some disadvantage had Madeira fallen into the hands of the enemy ; but we can scarcely derive any new benefit from its possession. It ;ands no room whatever for wercantile THE NATIONAL RECISTM.,
