--L 10:UM tittlitt with ltislettaenty, and . from 'thence might, perhaps, see good grounds for refusing it. —The contusion was a rash one; tie would he inclined to take directly the oppo.ite course, and tote fur it mere glaJty, if he knew there was 'Odor ; to him the return of aii/ wi.uld be the most satisfactory. Upon shut grounds were the papers refused now ? Was it upon the ground th rt no such paper existed. If it wie, let them say so. 110E7 did rant, there was un ath 'lmage in producing them ; their contents were probably ex aggerated ; nay, he had not a doubt, that, it pro duced, it would appear that they were totally inis token. But it was objected that they "err not official ; if not, they knew the coy to make them so ; it was only instant's% the tame process to which they had already resorted. If the former paper had gone through the Secretiry of State's hands, and from thence to the King, that would be a suf tioiont answer ; it would'aceount for, and justify the refusal. He did wish that it should have been nithdrua n. (Oahe purpose of being pretented again, iu the usual manner; and if that was done, there would be no grounds for such a quastion as the • present. He had Alittaisied purposely from stating any opinion on the papers themselves. lie owned Ilia he felt the forcible appeal of the Gallant OS err, and, in voting for the motto°, his sincere hope • ans, that no such paper would be found to exist. Mr. WARD explained. The Sottcrroa-Geantst. said. diet, if he had strong doubts before, as to the propriety of the motion, he was convinced, by what had fallen from his Right Hon. Friend, the solitary precedent upon which his Right Hon Friend (Mr. Canning) hail built his argument, was one whieli be censured • himself, but it was also inapplicable to the present case. In the former, the paper moved for was known to exist, sod to bear reference to the Expedition to • the Scheidt. Suppose his Right Hen. Friend (Mr. Perceval) had kept. back the paper, what would Gent! , men toy, but he behaved like an honest man and bra net them forward without seeking to -creen • theta under any pretence The present motion tylli a demand fur all papers "otiose/ogee gement," - sod as such he should resist it. Mr. WHITBREAD said, that although be might be well satisfied with the present condition of the debate, in- felt it iacninbeut on hits to notice some eloetratiosia that had fallen in the course of it.— With great respect for the Right Elora Gent. (the Solicitor -General) who hod just sat down, he hoped La would be pardoned for passing him over with little notice. And as for the Hight Hon. Gentle moo (Mr. Csoniog) who that alight, for the first time, agreed aith him in opinion, though be valued but little the support of ins argument, he was Finis. py to accept of Ins vote.—/Hear !/—He hrpolight the Hight Hon.

As to their delicacy about the 'reraturre, it walnut much to be wondered at. They could not WI what documents might be discovered there. It was possible they might nod a memo rial against Shunter. themselves. They might tied their ignorance exposed. alba their precipitancy blamed. 'They might find the memorial of Lord Chatham sgaiust the Chancellor of the Exchequer ; of the Ministers aguiust each other. Under a King of other pr.ociplea and di-positions than the present, such men would brio g down ruin upon the Con stitution. If they dented that there was such a paper, he would withdraw his motion.

SATURDAY. FILISEVART 2s. From the evidence of Lord CHATHAM there was ground to presume that he made some other pri vate communication to the KING, brsides the uar iative iu which he inculpates Sir Fe STBACUA His Loidship having declined to give the informa tion required upon this point, Mr. WHITBREAD last night made a motion for the production of all the communications to His MaJcsrx, by his Lord ship, respecting the Scheldt Expedition. A warm debate ensued, and the Ministers were left in a mi nority of 7, the numbers being—for Mr. WHIT.. NILE AU'S motion 179, apinst it 171. On this of er.ioss. Mr. CAN/tufo, and also Mr. Bit tcue 13 ATHV KAT. with other friends of the A OUINGrua Party, divided with the Opposition. This was a fair trial of stre lei. and upon a question of vital importance. How long do Minister, mean to stick to their *eep N daemon of the voice of the Par liament, and of the people ?-1f they do not retire now. it is evident that nothing short of stopping the supplies, can force them from office. We continue our report of the Minutes of the evidence upon theWa/cheren Inquiry. The Minutes of the 9tb day's evidence have also been printed, but we must defer their insertion till Monday.— They embrace the evidence of the 111iiii 1 uis of Hyattlr and Sir WILLIAM ERSICIMR. The Mar. 'lois states, that the possession of Cad-and was considered an essential pert of the plan of the Ex pedition. His division consisted of 5,000 men, and he was this General directed to occupy that Island. Bnt he states, that he had no means of leading more than 600 men at one trip; whereas, from the skogth of the enemy. it would not be safe to land a Irv' force, at one time. than 2000. lie did not know the exact force of the enemy in Cadaind; but, on the morning of the 31st July. he saw 1900 neer, In Iwo divisions ; and. according to the report of deserter., there were there, at one time. from 6 to 7000 men, of whom 3ano 111.1 e thrown into Flashing. The 7.linniais iIL WILT sad Gruen' §ir WASS Easktms both admit the imp:Attica bitity of taking Antwerp by • eJap-de-muirt. We have received Dutch Papers to Cie instant. The following extracts ate from Tar Elegise Courant of Februa►y 19: — The Moniteur, of the 13th iti,tant, contain , ' the following important intelligence from Spain, dated MADRID. Els. 1. The King of Spain was on the lstil at Eccija. The Duke of Belluno has entered Seville. The wretched Junta, the true allies of Eagland. are driven away by all the people of the South of Spain. The inhabitants of Cadiz appear to have de. nied the entrance of their town to the Junta, es they had refused it to the English. The last act of these traitors was the delivery of Ceuta to the English. General Sebaatiani has entered Granada, and has received a deputation from Murt i t. We understand that the sth and gth corps have arrived at Burgos and Valladolid, where they hate formed a junction with the tith corps, in order to enter Portugal. Thus it appears, contrary to the prediction of Lord IVellesley, that the entrance of Portugal has been determined on by the Preach. We besides dud, iu the Momieere, under the head of " Paris, Feb. 14," an official letter from the Duke of Dalmatia to the Princes of %Vagrant sad of Neufchatel, of which the falluwing the principal contests Tile Commander-ia-Chief states, that lie hal not received the account of the state of the maga zines found at Jaen ; he kuoas, however, that there were found in the place, 44 pieces of artillery, mounted on the batteries, 6,000 stand of elms, • great quantity of provisions, and considerable ma gazines. There were likewise found at Cordon, 6.000 stand of arms, and a full arsenal, of which our artrlery has made great advantage. Iu Castillion mid !Lear, four eight-pounders, and one howitzer snd six other pieces left b•hiad in the mountains. Since the passage of the Sierra Morena, the Im perial army has thus made itself master of ilO pieces of artillery. It is probable. says the Duke, that Cadiz will follow Seville, and thus the Spanish squadron be taken. The Junta has fled to the island of Leon. in the neighbourhood of Cadiz. It is underatood, that the greater part of the Members will embark fur America ; it is also said, they are desirous to alter into a negotiation and to capitulate. We, yesterday. announced the arrival of the Spa nish frigate /figeisio, (rota Corunne. She has brought over a Member of the Junta of Callicia, who as come to procure supplies for the army of that Province. The private letters state, that General M ant had marched with a strong division of the Ga lician army to Asturias, with a determination to at tack the enemy iu that quarter; hot that no ac count of his Progress had been yet received. Yesterday, a Court of Directors was held at the East Judie House. when Capt. Jagesit•m It. J. TOUSSAINT was sworn into the command of the ship Juliana, consigned to Bengal direct. In the Court of King's Bench. yesterday. Mr. BSNJAIMIIII HUNT wag fined guilty of felooioosly endeavouring to procure a counterfeit stamp, in imitation of that which is affixed to the hood en tered into by the Captains employed in the License Trade, sad subject to a duty of is shillings. On the preceding day the Morquitrof LANSDOWN ob tained a verdict. upon/an ejectment, to obtain pos session of Lowdown House. The ATTOIIIIIY. GINCRAL stated the case. The point which was to he fur the Josy, was simply, whether a lease of Lansdown House, made in September, 1809, to Miss Ciffard, daughter of the Doi% ager Marchio ness of LANSDOWN. was granted, aceseding to the powers demised to the lessor, the late Marquis. Oat the death of the Marquis. his brother, who now bore the title, conceiving himself the proprietor of tht town residence of the family, but respecting the memory of its brother, sent to inform his widow, that she need not put herself to any inconvenience, by hurrying from the house in which she then was, and that she was perfectly at liberty to remain in it for any lime the found best suited to her own ob jects. Ile received a short answer, s. That if the house were hi., she would not stay in it a moment, but that she had a leas* of It years of it." The Nlartprs of 1.4 tissioarri, feeling that his rights were invaded. left the matter to the Jury. The leave was contested ou the grounds, Ist, that tbe late Marquis hod no power to lease the family man. 1.100 ; :d, That ht had toot &handed the highest rent that might be obtained ; :1(1, That there was un p '441011 in the lease to distrain on the mere delay of rent .4th, That as it was dared from the 13th of September. pitying rent of tionl. on the Citia of March and g9tli of September. there were thus I-1 days in the beginning of the possession, and tie *dint number at the end of the it years unaccoutited fur; and therefore the rent was not the most improved tl.at could be had.

Mr. PERCEV•L ARM, whoever were Ministers, he conceived . ' that it was not the policy of the country, nor won't! it tend to their welfare. to be left without en army. He thought it would be more candid for the Hon. Baronet to wove for the dismissal of His Majesty's Ministers, than to attempt to prevent the usual and regular supplies GOlll bring granted. Mr. WARDLE opposed their going into a Com mittee, on the ground, that papers lind been laid on the table that night, which related to the stateof the Army and to its Staff, from which much information might be derived, and was necessary, before enter ing into the discussion. And it was highly improper they should be forced into the Committee at that hour of the night. Mr. TIERN Er moved, " That the Army Estimates should he potAponed to Friday next," without there wee Milt% new clause to be tutroduced in the Mutiny Bill. Mr. ° WARDLE spoke in explanation. Mr. Punt IiVAL said, he had not any objection that the Army estimates should Le postponed till Monday, with an understanding, that the consi deration of the circumstances of Portugal should bt put off to the Monday following. Mr. Pommy, as the leader of the Opposition, assented to this proposition. . . . . Lord Pritexivrise said, he did intend to intro duce some new clauses ; but they only regarded en listroents. He was confident they were of such a stature that could not produce discussion. The House then came to the resolution, that they would resolve themselves into the Cosseting. ou Monday next. Sir YON AS TURTON gave notice, that he would, on Monday next, move for the expenditure of the army for the last year, and for the dispositiuu of the forces. Lord Wellington's Bill was ordered to be read a second time on Monday. The other orders •if the day were then disposed of. and the House adjourned at TWELVE O'CLOCK, till Monday.
