Sir JOILN NE.WPOIIT, after several obserra- Jim's, mowed for Temp to brim.; in a . Bill em: , o%vering the Commissioners appointed in compliance with the atitlress of that House, to enquire into the fees of Courts of Justice in Ireland, to compel the attend ance of necessary witnesses. Mr. B. BATitUitiT opposed the mntion as un nerestary. No such -lid was given to a similar Com ans.ion aprinted in 173,2. Mr. WILLIAM SMITH said, thwt the only ques tion was whether those vowels were necessary.— But if the House wished to obtain information, it should jefllnVlß all inducements to concealment as much as . possible.. A strong inducement to conceal 7 mr-it on this occasion was voluntary attendlnce ; for a person, who world draw on himself much danger f,nrn h n supetiots in office for giving information in sm - h a case. CPVIII 1101 be at all blamed, if his giving Worm:llion were compulsory. This was a question of mere common sense. If it was necessary to give the Coosis.iooers such powers as the Bill required to oluaio — ittfotmation, how could the House refuse them? He. for his part, thought the powers were t:11L~i1e1~~UI11 L' necessary, and he Would therefore vote for t 1101. Mr. Slat EON ,indicated the characters of Mas tvTx in Chancery, and exposed the improbability of their being influenced by such petty corruption as that widen ti 4,• enquiry necessarily supposed. lIOIINER. did not think the panc.:) tie pro. o-04.4,41 and 114:4 other Nlostots of C.lncery by the Hon. and L (4i4nitleman any a...aer to lie obseo..tion of his lino.

It thought it very extraordinary that any objection should be made to give the power slow required to the Comn+sioners, to sommon witnesses to give evidence on oath; because that, without seen a power, the am.int mem of Commissioners appeared to him to be .0 story : and if the Right lion.

Amer a few wot from Mr. HOLM r: SUMNIR, the House divided— oesllB-eAyes Us-Majority 12, • GEN/011. LA MBTON, in bringing forward the motion which he was about to submit to the House, •conceiv ed that where the fame and honour of tire country were sullied, by anyeemisure Of - .Government or their agents, it was as much the duty of an humble indivi dual like himself, as of the most prominent Member of the House, to stand forward, and endeavour to call down upon the transaction that reprobation which it merited. He now alluded to the late surren der of Genoa, a transaction the foolnestrof which had never been exceeded in the political history of this country; and which remained a blot on the character of the nation. [Hear, hear!]-11e hoped that Mini sters would not be permitted, in this case, to follow the course limy had all along pursoed-4efusing to answer to any charge exhibited against them in that House, on the pretest that the sebject could not be discussed till the whOle foreign affairs of the country came under the consideration of Parliament. If Mi nisters were in this manner permitted to continue their silence, either from a feeling of iuebtlity . to withstand the attacks of their opponents—and ifthe Noble Lord at Vienna was to he allowed to decide on the most important affairs and interests of the country, without the knowledge of the Cabinet at home, and without 'the knowledge of Parliament, the functions of the House were at an end. He trust ed, however, that if the'Right Honourable Gentle man should persist in this dishonourable silence, that a day would come when the country would no longer be degraded by such taciturn Ministers.—[hear !] —lf, iu private life, he wore to charge a man with a participation in the commission of a crime disgraceful to his honour ind•hfs reputation, would it be enough for him to titre West and say, he was Innocent, but he could not defend himself till the return of a corn. panion equally implicated with himself. Ile charged his Majesty's Ministers publicly, in the face of the House, with having degraded the country in the eyes of the world'!—with having forsaken a pledge given to a nation invited by them to indeperlence. The disgraceful measure width: he deplored was unfor tunately .no longer pending, but accomplished ; and he hoped that the Right Hon. Gentleman would at least have the merit not to add duplicity to injustice, or to endeavour to deny the part which they had taken: The unfortunate Genoese had tint ni It been delivered over, like drones of cattle, to the King of Sardinin, but they had been so delivered liter by England ;—Englaed had been the instrument of this oppression. We it talismanic shield could ilefend them under this disgrace? What balance of poem, a term always brought forward to justify every net of .iolenee or rapine, could justify such a measure ? The best balance of power would always . be found, by Sovereigns, in the affections of the Iteopte ; and their best sty of gaining their affections wined he in eventing . their hearer. instead of counting their num bers.—[hear, hear!] —But hoe es er disgraceful many of the measures which Eerope hail lately wit nessed, to no particular instance had England breniee such a party as the spoliation of Genoa. In April 1813, Lord William Bentinck, in a Proclamation, told the people of Genoa that their ancient Govern. ment was restored, and that he acted on the princi ples declared by the Allies in the Treaty of Paris.— 'The more just and generous the news professed ,in that Treaty, the more disgraceful the avaricious squabbling for territory which they hadsubseqsently displayed.— [hear, hear!]—Lord Wm. Bentinck, in the name of the British Government, appetileel to the national feeling of the Genoese, recalled to theta , the days of their ancient prosperity, and pledged his_ country to reinstate them iu their former privileges. Was there an English heart which did not beat re sponsive to•suell a Proclamation? Was there a matt in the MI Oil V who was not Convinced that it was most glotio fer Eegland that the Enelish arms should lyeie been so employed? ..Not employed in acts of pre ...ion, of plunder, or spoliatien, but in restoring a.l ancient and ious Stale to its lotig. lost tights. ar,hcar n—Secli were the promises held out to.the Genoese, but far different was the.execulion. Eight months afterwards, when they had been tantalized. with a momentary enjoyment of their ancient pri vileges, a mandate arrived from that detestable Con- PbS of Vienna, annulling all that had been done in (diem of Genoese fieedom, and delivering up that unfortunate country to the King of Sardinia. This transfer was made by a British Proclamation, signed by a British Officer. This was an act, the criminality of which did not attach alone to the Noble Lord at Vi. eons, or the 011iccr whose nan.e appeals te it, bet to the whole of his Majesty's Minister.;. • In this Pro. clemation General Dalrymple informed the 'moo. of Genua that the Government appointed by Lid Williara Bentilick had been delivered up into his hands, and that he surrendered it to the King of Sardinia. He would ask his Majesty's Ministers, did they or did they not avow this order ? If they disavowed it, then they ought to deliver ud General Dalrymple to the consequences of his conduct. If they avowed it, let them then come ma telly for ward and justify themselves in the eyes of the tuition, for having falsified the sacred word of England, for hash); rendered the name of England, feir the first time, suspected among the nations of Europe. This most infamous measure was not one of those which ;!Roisters could avoid explaining; and it was in lain for them to think theycould 4ed acquitted to the p country by maintaining arofeund silence oe this, as they had done on so many other subjects. Such silence was not more disgraceful to themselves than to the country, who suffered them to be at the head of its affairs; and no one who had its honour and eletracter at stake, but must regret to see it under • the guidance of such ,Ministers.—[!Leer, hearl— Ile then moved for copies of the liroclatentions ad dressed to the Genoese by Lord William Bentinck, timed Cith April, 1814, .and by General Dalrymple, dated December 27, 1514, and of copies of the In , strurtions sent by (,government to Lord William Bentitick, iu cletoberof the Correspondence ,. for the guid ance of his conduct [talk ; Mid Lord Williambetw6en Mujebty's Ministers' 11-fr STAItgmAN!

His object in moving for the three last Papers *as, to show that Government bad not only guaranteed the people of Genoa from the attempts of the Fretich,•but from. all the world beside. [The lionont'able ilenser satliaten amidst loud cheers on both sides of lite Noose.] The question beiog put, Col. .WOOD said, being nearly connected . witb the Noble Lord (Castlereagh) who had been tlluded to in the Speech of the Hon. Gentleman, he begged the indulgence of the House . for a few moments. He then proceeded to argue on the unfairness Of discuss:. big the question whltlr had been brought under their consideration until the arrival of the Noble Lord.— ft was, in fact, not an isolated point, but one con nected with the whole of the proceedings of Congress. He concluded by moving—" That the House do pro ceed to the other Orders of the Day." The CHANCELLOR of the e KRCHEQUER said, the Hon:Mower had, in a very regular, manly, and Parliamentary manlier, called for the tlec6idn of the Rouse on this important suhjeCt, therefore no apology was necessary. All he retluired was, that the House should take into its consideration thohe circumstvnens which rendered it quite iMpossi. *le that tliry could come to a decisivin rf the ptesont moment. The question was connhctrd with a variety of points, which could not now 'he discussed ; and, however. anxious Ministers were to prove that the national faith had not been violated, 'they could not, in the present state of things, enter into an invest'• gation of the question. 'That the national faith had here violated, he denied—and oh that denlol'he would rest at present. lie thought it wiled be'mere respectful to meet the motion, which would certainly be dis Cussed it a • future period, with the previous. question—a hirlt (Colonel Wood having Withdrawn his amendment) the Right Hon. Gent. proceeded to mniP. Sir JAMES 'MACKINTOSH rose, and Cora. manned by praising the talents. of Mr. tambton, who in thii,..his second speech, had sustained' his he reilitery reputation. There never was •a case that; more loudly called upon Parliament to :rescue tile' honour of the country from the foulest tispersiints;:.:-! The moth , in which the motion was resisted confirined his i•pirtions. Ministeri said no more than other men said when they were chareed with the •commis lion of an io.proper and usriuctiaable deed : they : asked for delay. They wanted to put off their trial, for reasons which they did not explain, and which were best or only known to themselves. Like other i accused persons, they said they were quite anxious to clear up the doubts that hung over their conduct, All they could propose in favour of delay, aroseinet of the confusion of two distinct prindples. might be a fair erquest, if the rioestion were merely as to the policy 01 impoliry, the. wisdom or folly, of the annotation of Genoa to IsiNimont. A questio.i of Policy ear generally if net ale ays a balance of evi 1. and a compromise of, inconveniences. A thousand questions might arise on a question of po liey which might make a discussion ineonvenient till the negoeialithis . were terminated.

The present charge was the most severe one ever made on our conduct in our foreign relations.— A more serious one could not be preferred against our Government, except it were for a conspiracy . against the liberties of oer•olfn country.

France, and which seemed now only to change its seat withotit changing its nature.—[Near!] —What secret could there be respecting the defence of Mi.- !deers, when the pledge given was a public act, and the infraction was equally well known ? The pro- . demotions were public, arid public faith dela:hided on I no secret. • Was there any ground of interest to be I set up against' the principles of justice end morality. ? If Ministers chose to propose amendments, he had no doubt that the Honourable Mores would accede to them, provided he could obtain the production of the drier public decumenti. There was a substantive c(sarge ageins s t Ministers independent of all considera- • titer' hf pledges, for injustice to the state of Genoa. • In the case of Norway, none who disliked that pro. ceedikt, except those whir were staves of fortune, coulf! have a Itered Weir oiled. by the event. lie then proceeded to read an extract from Vhttel, whom he cowiiitered high authority, on the subject of third partici, who having been subjugatde by one power, acre not its that author's ()pinkie, if that subjugating I I power was by the events of riarsuppressed or hum. bleil, they not haying taken arms against the ' success . ful to be treated as eninpiered peopie. V attel said, they were not to. be made to change their .masters, ' but their deliverers, " ought to break their cheitis." It was not to be imagined that the territory of a friend wrested from the power of the.enerny was just as disposable as any conquest made from the enemy. At all times such an exercise of the rights of conquest would have been considered immoral-, •and an utik.4l abuie of power. Suppose that we had .no alliance with Portugal; and that- toiletry; bad not done:so much for its own deliverancir; bat had been saved merely by the British arms, would any body suppose that on that account we had a right to sell 'Portugal to the highest bidder ? Was it supposed io in•the ease of Holland, or of the Princes of the Coofederation of the Rhine? The German Princes that had heti.' op. pressed try France were conceived to !tato-been inv. - It-. ly entitled to, a'restitetiner of their territories. The. righti of Genoa to its independence had been 'recbg nixed by the Allied Powers' in the' most distinct Mott.. nor.

In the month'of July, in-the same year, the Russian Mini ster Novot;ltzoff published ad official nbte, Plink that this act of• France made it impossible for Vim to remain longer at Paris. This note was after the id corporation of Piedmont and Lombardy, afteetke invasion of Switterlandender the pretence of Media lion, and after the deaths of the-Duke D'Hrighten, General 'Picheero, and Towssaint. 'Aitet till these acts, Great BriPtin was ready to netbilate with - France, end even solicited Russia 'td take i the•pan of mediator.
