As to the Act of sending gastrin out of tic country. it was one uo which torte could be no deference of optition ; it wilt II UlO.l imprudent a t; but It was the act of 4111 C of the agents in the cause without cousultation with any other agent; and he could not eument that such au net should be made a foundation for coinatit.ing uu (invitee on oue I/I .

Lord KING was decidedly of ot )))) ion the motion of his N.•ble I'. send ought to be adopted. Tut Noble hail had acknowledged the impropriety of the act of sending out oi the • ountry. Ile would go further, he would say that any common case brought forward in any of the Courts below, in which the agents of the pat ty should thus have conducted 111ellIteleeb, would have been put out of Court with indignation by the presidin g ; Judge. The Noble Earl had this slay admitted much. Indeed he was the only title of of his Majesty's Nlististeis who was hearth ou this occasion.— He knew not whether the Noble Lord's colleitrues thought to shelter theruselves behind their silence, but though they said nothing, he would tell them they were equally respon• ethic with the Noble Lord. A Noble and Learned Lord had said he had 1141 aisltes as to this Bill oue way or the otter.—Now, thus, to appentance, eltrinkmg from respon sibility, would at first sight declare the present itdsitiniatra- Cum as wantiug nerve—but 11114 its would say, in his opinion never since t lie days of the ceieisrated Cabal had there becti an Affininistration possessing so much nerve, or is Ito nad been engaged also waked a proceeding. The Marquis of LANSDU W N E contended that the House atafully out hut imd ost Mr. Powell to produce these letters. He is as anxious that the tt huh should be got at ; and us some Noble Lords thought this might be done by a Secret Com mittee, he would wsthdraw his pre-remit minims, suit submit another, which was " 'l'lllll a S. cret Cun 1111 l !tee b • ap pealed, to examiae the correspoutleoce of Mr. Powell and Col.

The Noble Earl concluded oy moving as an amendment, or rather au MllllOOll to the original motion, that the Secret Committee bate power to examine Mr. Powell as to the authenticity of the contracts mode 10 him.
