THURSDAY, JUNE 17. Mr. WHITBREAD enquired, whether there was any truth in a rumour he had heard, and which had caused much alarm in the steielabom hood of Windsor. namely, that all the fine trees, the orna inent of that Park, were marked in ord• r to be cut down and sold, for the impose of building a palace in the Park ? Mr. WiIAR FON said, no idea of the kind hail ever been enter. Pained. The depredations committed on the wood were dreadthl ; the trees had in voto.equence been marked, in order to render this offence more difficult No trees were felled by authority. Mr. W !MDR LAD, Blllitiill4 to his motion fur peace on the 29th, said, that as an emigre had been: concluded on the Continent, and that armistice- might terminate in a general peace, he should withdraw his moire attneether for the present. bringing up the Report of the Ecclesiaelical Courts lin Mr. Wester', adverted to several cases of greet.,ernelty and hardship,_ han occurred its consetptence of the oppressive weight of the Eeelesiostical Law. and prrtienlarly in-taneed the ease of Mr. John Corder, who had beett prosecated in the Court of Arches, and con &awed in casts, after being acquitted in an itifttioi.Conrt, for ex pressing hioe.elf in indignant terms sit the I)ll4i:rate eimiloct of the female aaimaintnnce of a bankrnpt, to who've estate he was assignee. lie did nut conceive this Bill afforded sotlicietst security against the reAtrrence of sad' grievances.—Tne two Judas's, Sir %V.

TREATY WITT! SWEDEN. Peaso,inv wished, before the debate began, to know at what time the comenedeation of the Treaty )ktween Russia and Maeda iva. made to out GovCrunteat ? UTE NATIONAL RVIISTER. maie Lord CASTE in LA G!I SAO, hi July last—His Lordship then moved ---‘ That the House do resolve into a Committee of Supply. and that the rreaty. with Sw -.deo be referred to the said Committee." MI :Pima son BT stated that it was iiis intention to move an Address to the Prince Regent with a view to mpend the execntiou of the Trel.ty. This was the first instance in the history of our country of any valnahle possession belonging to the Crown havilig been ceded by Treaty before the mine was submitted to thi consideration of Parliament. The first thing to- be considered wet that which was declared in the Treaty between Russia and Swede:: to be the ob ject of it. There the Contracting Powers profelsed that it was for the porpoiie of seenrieg their States and possessions against the coin mon enemy that they entered into this Treaty. lii the last war be t Neel% Russia and France, certain uegociations sabsisted between • Ru-sia and Sweden, but soon after the peace of Tilsit, the former attacked tiie latter country, awl got the dominion of Finland, a pro vince that had been long sought after by Russia, aud w Idyll she would oot now give up. Bat as soon as the Fauperiir of Russia found that he was likely to be engaged in a new war with France, he sought the assistance of Sweden, not by giving up the conquest he had formerly made, but by trans erring to Sweden part 01 the dominions of another Power. At the time of that Convention, he believed Lord Cathcart was present at Abo. The two Contracting ; Potties in the Treaty said they were unwilling (What tenderness!) to . make an enemy of Denmark ; yet these deliverers of Europe te:reed to wrest from an unotfending nation a great part of its dominions : for which they said they would4nake an indemnity l some part of Gerniauy. !fere then was the Monarch who *tiled' hi l mself t h e A/pew:tor, acting in direceopposition to that name, by - gi. mg, up do- Minions - in Germany siot belon;fing to him ; and that the Ministers of Great i ttritaiu,shotild aanctiOn such a Treaty as this, exceeded any thing' recorded in the history of this country. And in this . abontinaoleissid iniquitous stipulation, they insultingly said, every 'thing should be done cousisteocavith the liberty and happiness of the people of • Nor Way. - 31 oval an,ittoeions•act, which appeared in every respect tco naterpart of the partition of Poland, which had laid the foundation of all the injustice and calamity that had shuns spread over Europe. After this conduct; he 'hoped he should no longer hear our Ministers talc about the laws or Tight. of nations. lie wished the House to rend what the profestyl object of the Treaty was. It purported to be, to esta!dislilThe peace of lbe North! 'l'o bring about a peace, by tau act which wrei- making a new anda lasting war iu the North of Europe!.--Never was there sneh bare-faced hypocril. By the stipulation there svies no cladoe left, eseept that of Norway going to Sweden ; and there was no discretion left to the King of Denmark, out that of his resigning a large body of his affectionate subjects attached for centime?. to his Crown, or resisting force by force. As to the principle of this i'Treaty— the tine antt legitimate M o wer of the partition of P f oland , —he could not conceive what profit or advantage Flatland was to I reap from it. She was to have the co-operation of Sweden; but then she had, in opposition to that, lost the co-operation ee'Denmarti. lint then it mieht he said. that being at wet with Dcriniark, we had a right to ileac conquests there. Was it likely that slim war could Hot be put an end to? The Ii gitimate object of every war was, peace : and was a peace with Deemirk unattainable? A wise Mi -1 nister won't, have endeavoured to unite all the P,wers of the North in i one common confederacy. The fact was, that by our conduct o e were buying a diversion in the North of Europe in favour of Iran ..e; and at the same 'time we bought oat tile stipulation, that Saeden Haruki not employ her force attains t Norway. Our Minis ters purchased the co-operation. of S yeden, which consisted in this, that the Swedes were idle spectators of the great battles in Gent malty, and of the Armistice: The price NVC AVVe was a within: of motley, and a completed iSlaMi t Which, pending tile war wi to France, we had no right to give np.
