FEB. l2. Mr. FRRINIANTLS said that it was Not his intention to trouble the Mouse with remarks on the Court-martial of Sir John Magray, bnt he could not help observing with regret the personal enmity and rancour which had been suffered to manifest itselfon that trial. Mr. ROSE spoke to Order, and said it was perfectly irregular to ma ke observations on a subject not at all before the House. Mr. FIIKEMANTLE raid, that hi 3 only intention was to call the et trillion of Ministers to the circumstances, winch was the more neees miry, as they had seen the alarming eireumstances, which had arisen f ro m another Court-martial. (Cries of order !) Mr. VANsITTAItT said,. the Ho►►nnral)le Gentleman (Mr. Frees mantle) might have introduced die observations lie cl►o•e to make ►,itl► inure regularity on the motion, which he (Mr. Van•irtart) WAS about to propose. It might he, however, matisfactory to the Gentluman, to know that Iris Majesty's Government h-► 4 ta k en peee:ititions to prevent impleasant con4equence-s resulting limas what happene4 on the trial in tiestion. (Hear, hear!) The Right Honourable Gentlemen then moved, that an humble address be presented to the Prince Regent, thanking him for hia kind re ;;:ird to the privilege; of the Ifouse in infurming them uf the grounds of the arrest of Lieutenant-General Sir John Murray. The motion was agree-1 to. Tile (in 1N (A:Limit of the EXCHVCIrrn gave notice that tie Amnia. au Frida . s . . the 17th inataitt, in the Committee of Ways and ll c a t ot, propoe sonic new financial ineaslires to the consideration of the Committee. r; CI2NI.RES3. Mr. WHITERFAD said, that as there was a motion before the )lone, he should tremble them \1 ith a few words before that motion was put.. As notice had been given for so early a day as the 17111 of this month, of a new plan or fiaanee, he apprehended that the affairs of Europa must have been defolitively settled. At least, it minor points had not been completely arranged, yet, As the Chan ce llor of the Exchequer was about to propose important financial arrangements, all the grand points hail been settled which had been in eontrovvisy so long, and so disgracefUlly io controversy at Vienna. He wished therefore to know, whether his Majesty's Minis lets o ere better informed An sonic points than they hail been pre. lions to the adjnornment of the House, on the Ist of December ? whether they were prepared to disavow the proclamation of Prince Repitin, of which at that time they knew nothing ? whether they were aisle to speak with certainty as to the fate of Genoa, of which, then, they had no information ? These matters were of course now finally arranged and adjusted, so that Ministers were able to look forward with security to the settlement of the affairs' of Europe, as was evils rot by the measures 01 1 which they ha►t givial notice. He , hould not speak of the disgraceful acts, it' acts they were (Hear!), which had emanated from the Congress, nor of the disgraceful man ner in which the great st,bjects discussed there had been treated— that it was stated that so many millions of subjects were elite to one Sovereign, and a balance of 250,000 subjects to another Sovereign, as if the Sovereigns were every, thing and the people nothing—as it' the horrors of French revolution had made such an impression on the minds of men * that no fantastic tricks on. the part of Monarchs would shake them on their thrones, and renew those terrible convul sions which had shaken all Europe. But•it was most important that thetionse shiudd know what arrangements had been snide at the Co ngress, and be thought there was no time so proper to inquire as when notice had been given of a definitive financial atrang,ement. Mr. VADZITTAII7C said, the remarks of Ike Hon. Gentienissi Whitbrea.l), were not very regular, ss the question before the Home was the Committee on the Bank Restriction Act, whirls would hardly jastify the Honottrable Gentleman in entering into so, whle a field of remarks and interrogatories. lie should however . Tfunn the Honourable Gentleman once for all, that as his Noble riend the Seeretary of State (toed Castlereagh) would very soon return to his seat in that House, from Vienna, and would be able to give a full explanation of the artangeoneeta which had been made he - (Mr. Vansittart), should, befeee his arrival, abstain from (nem eting any que,tions relative m arrausgemesitismade at the Con gress (Hear, hear!), and he should state, that in declining to anew er any questions whiffs might be pot by Honourable Gentlemen, lie was not infinenced by any personal disrespect towards them !Hear, !tear!). Mr. Witrreagan lola, that he had only to remind the Rig4t.lll - Gentleman, tleit before the Recess they hail been promised, not only a full explanation whits the Noble Lord returned, bat that when the liohse tnet attain, even ir the Noble Lard was.not re turned, all thing, should be e‘plAined to thew (Hear, hear I). Mr. l'osiosini said. that the question wilds was then before the House, as it affected the whole finaneiefsystem of the century, and consequently the ina'nner in which ell money was expended, it was not irregular to infinite as to the arrangement of the affiiirs of Elitape. If the disclosure of the state of piddle affairs was to be deferred till the return of Lord eastlerea g h, why were not the financial arrangements also deferred till his return? They were, however, on to-htortow 'testified, to enter upon the consideration of t h e filsanelat arrangement*, while they were entirely ignorant of -the state of EuroPe. • He confessed his did net feel this so strong a difficulty as other peeple taught feel it, for it. his °pitiless there was but one course for the Heise to pitrone,--la calibre as fast as .ilste pnblic „ expendititre (Hear, hear !)—The state - of the coun try and the heppinese of he ' r e* ;gloated it (heat ertions of the peoplilltrd put an egd to tie property lax, lie hoped a "continued manifestation ef public Aiiitsion would produce greater benefits, and oblige hlinisters to reduce the public expentlitare,.to the smallest• watt . consistent with the honour and dignity of the coil t 6 (I fear, hear !). The nnition was carried. FINANC,E4. IMO ~: i , ; . Mr. Ti Elt NXV requested some explanation fee n, the Clumeellor of the Exchequer, as to the new plan of Finances, 'which he hart announced his intention of bringing forward on rriday next. and also whether he proposed•to lay any vapers on rte table, and of wirat nature illustrative of hit; object ? He (Mr. 'l'.) requested this infor ntatiou, in order that other Gentlemen might be afforded au opportn. • nay of considering whether any. and what farther papers might he necessary to the House, with a view to the due understanding of the wul►ject. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCUFAVER said, he was eid that the Right Honourable Gentleman had pot this question, because it 'afforded him au opportunity of correcting the Right Honourable Gentleman's misappselben.ion of his object ; for he had no intention of priiposing any new plan of Finance, nor of entering into any general details that mad require previops ting any nirastue Mr. TIERNEY Gentleman to be I. to bind the judgmcut of the Haste. iinderstooti: the. tko- Right lionenraw the proppoititstztr A ilkip.jeibitt4 to IWI Prot a rt • IA •
