Lord AUCKLAND rose i;;tte purpose of milking • a few observations, in respect to the present niode of Legislation, which appeared to him to be such as to call forth aMmailversiou, and was soll•ient to require the intervention of that House. If their Lordships referred to the number of votes in the other House, it would be seen, that, in respect to the Bills which passed during the last Session of Pailtament, the greatest pail. of the public busi ness had not been brought up to their Lordships' House, till almost the ead of the Session. Indeed it appeared within the last three weeks, the enor mous number of st:tenty-nine Dille, of a puldic na ture, bad been crowded before them : and at a time when it was almost impossible for their Lord ships to attend their duty in Parliament. lie ram sidered this mode of proceeding extremely deroga. tory, net only to the propriety of Legislation, but al,. to the dignity of that House, and to its cha rue t-r es a branch of the legislative part of the coustitution. It was au evil ui considerable mag nitude to the piddle, as it rendered Acts of Par liuinciit barite to be passed without the neces sary attentina and scrutiny, before they received their Lordships' concurrence; besides which, it elm an evil of slice a growing nature, as justly to alarm every Noble Lord of the consequences being dan gerous, and likely to attack their privileges, and in fringe upon the exercise of their legislative capa city. He therefore should deem it highly incum bent upon the House to take some measure on this subject, sod, be stone expedient which it inigld Ix pi wield to adopt, this irregularity,• of dispatching public busiaess might be discontinued fur the fu ture. •I tt r. was tin disposition on his part to im-• • 0 rticeilar blame to those, who, eit this time, tilled the offices of Administrating, f ir lie was aware it bed bean sof.% il along cominutince ; bust now had grown to such 4:ll•llorinnus extent us loudly to de mand weir atteetion. He trusted al-n, that the Noble Lords opposite would feel the propriety of doe ietelitiou neutig paid to this slll./jVCI, as they re garded the importance of that House ill Legislation, :tad would also concur with lon in the sentiments v hick he had rApremsett ou the iireseut occasion, alter which he %Imola consider it his duty to move "'That a Committee be appointed to examine the Journals of that House, and thereby collect such information as should tepid to show at shot ttttt r, clueing the last Stl*SiOU of Parlianient, Bills of a public nature had been brought from the House of Commons, and specifs ill; the different times of their bring so brought up." Lord CItenVILLE Sill. if was impossible for him not to coucor in the prieiriety of what hail been stated by his Noble Friend. No subject could be of more importance for the considerriti tttt of the House. as it involved materially those functions which belonged to them in their legislative cuss tacter. It would be recollected, du 'Mg the last Stssiou, that upwards of one-half of the public had been brought into that House within the last three weeks of the sitting ui Parliament; At a time too, whets there was a isry thin nttentlanee, which must eventuully be the case at that period of the yew. Fur although it might be alleged, the duty of Noble Lords in utteuding to parlinmeatary proceedings was 14117111 . 101111 t to every other consi devotion, which certainly was correct, still it mint be allowed, every Noble laird had other public amid private duties whirl' must be discharged, mid which consequently required their absence. It ought al so to be considered, the Seseion genireallymusiclud ed at that time of the year when the Itevereud Prelates were obliged to be absent ou important concerns belonging to their in the Church: the Sone observation also extended to some Lea ni rol lar.ils, in respect to their professional duties. bole pendent of the time when Bills to the enormous tininher of seventy-Mile were hurried through the House iu the space of three week;, it was hot pos. ?Able to see with accuracy the propriety or noise°. priety of their being passed iota is law. He recol lected that in the ease of one Bill, during the last Session, sit error of considerable import hail been introduced through the 'Menke of the Engrossing Clerk. Upon being applied to, his excuse was, and he considered it a very just and proper mac, that so mane Bills had twin pavan through Par liament at t h e tittle, 111111 there was so much busi ness tutu transacting, it was iinpossible for hint to get every thing done corr..etly. Now, if this were the inconvenience find incorrectness attenchug the Engrossing Clerk, because of the &mother and the hurried manner in which Bills succeeded each other, what must be the inconvenience and danger Noble Lords would be exposed to, in whose bawls rigs lodged the rare of Legislation ? The Earl of !AYR/WOOL expressed his concur reoce with what had been suited on this irregula rity in postponing. so much iii the public futilities., till the latter end of each Session of Parliament. A t the •NIIIC time tie thought proper to remind their I .1)111.11i p 4, the quantity of Parliamentary proceed ings bad liven coesiderahlv increased witliiii mo dern time-, mid the Legifilation was now far more occupied w Intining new laws, both of a 'addle mul privaii! mottos, owing to the greet increase of the trade and emitmerce of the country. This state of soricty rresstisl, of course, a halide of rights and iii their regulations, called fur the interfeience of the Legislature. But he con sidered it quisitionnlsle, whether injury bad not re . salted frees tiles hole applications to Par ' lia r stens for new laws. moot whether the siumerons private Bills which Ifni of late years bees, intro duced. not too munch partake of da4- , Wing in le 4 islatson. z slitiald likewise be con , sidered, that the cominenccineut of every Session t, . . • Was frequently employed, as several instances hall occurred, in attending to .business difiereut from 1 that of legislating.. ars4 for a considerable leagtli. of time, which, 11l Nape measure, prevented their proceeding regularly with Bills before the House- However, he entertained the Same opinion with the Noble Lords opposite, respecting the impropriety alluded to, which h ad been increasing, and nes, likely to produce dangerous consequences to the independent character of that Holier!, cad he should think it right to investigate the subject ; and it' it could be done,. to proviie means ugaiust its future existence. The Earl of Jlotaa diespproveil of the manner in which, particularly at the end of last session, Balsa public importance had been crowded into that House. He recollected a Bill, which lie con ceived of great public interest, cont. ' se molly new provisions which ediately affected the aub jects of this country, and which had needy, f.oin the number of other public Bilk, escaped his ob servation. It was les ititentiou to have stated his sentiments to tie House on the occasion. I lie gave notice to that oaten ; but when the day came, there were several other public Bills stood for the same time, and caused consi derable discussion, which made it too late for his addressing himself to the sideman' of the House; but such was the case, that considerable public incoureilience would have ensued, had be retarded the progress of the Bill in that stage of the proceeding. This mode of delaying the public business, at the commencement of their sitting, called for sot's.: regulation, and lie would suggest to those Noble Lords opposite, who weie his Ma jesty's Ministers, to advise with their colleagues in the other House of Parliament, mid induce them to bring forward all the public business as won as possible in the early pert of the session. The Duke of NOltEOLli observed, it would be worthy of the cousideration of Parliament, if au al teration were to he introduced in regard to the period of their aseembling. Ile conceived if they were to meet in the latter end of November, or the beginning of December, rather than the latter end of January, it would produce greater progress in the public business ; and they should consequently avoid the inconvenience of attending their Parlia mentary duties, during the hot summer months. Lord Aunt LAND. ill reply to what had fallen from the Noble Secretary, allowed, that the number of Bilk passed every Sessioii, originated in die in crease of the commerce of the coumtry, mud he was happy to think, with the Noble Earl, we had it in our power to explain the difference between past and present times, by tracing it to that cause. Bin still, the number of Bills being increased, did not et sill account for their being delayed at the comineucemeut, and brought forward, altogether, at the conclusion of each Session. Ile tru-ted, souse method would be adopted which would p.• .- vent time recurrence of these irreetthtrities. lu the first instaneee lie should meet, e' That a Commit tee be uppoiuted to examine the Jouniels of that House, fur the purpose of informing their Liedsliips of the bee of Bills brought up to that House, and also of specifying the times when they were so brought up during the lost Session of Parliament." The LUND CHANCELLOR said, the subject now alluded to was certainly one of considerable im portame, add lied caught his peculiar attention for the last wren years of his parliamentary duty ; ' hot he trusted the Noble lord (atickleud) world a elide. w his motion for the present, until he should have a longer time to form his opinion on the propriety of a hat ought to be adopted. in order to predate. so important an alteration. Lord A lasKLAND expressed his readiness to comply with the desire of the Noble and Learned Lord, and accordingly withdrew his motiou. CAPTIgE OF FERROL. Lord AUCKLAND shortly addressed the House mi the late capture of Ferrol by the enemy, presi ons to hie untidier a particular motion on die sub- I jest. He considered it a matter of very great Mi -1 primmer, and lie tritsted the Noble Lords opposite would, agreeably to their frequent declarations of readiness to grant every information properly called for, and for which he was disposed to give them i7rerlit, in u candid manner on this occasion agree to concede every paper which could in the least thmw any light upon the rapture of this port by a Freneli squiulrom Such iliformatimi ought to Ise given to eunilout to every Noble Lord, for every nee felt au interest on this occasion. It was well known a squadron of the enemy hail proceeded to Ferrol, and there taken loossession of the Spanish ships of war iii that- harbour, three of which were three dickers, of 11! guns, too of 74 gulls, awl several other ships of the line, frigates, &e. and it was not accounted to us why this capture should not have been foreseen, and judiciously prevented ; and, what was still more extraordinary, amongst all those papers which were laid upon the table, for the purpose of giving information respecting the conduct of Ministers in relation to Spain, not one would be found which !rave satisfactory information on the subject. Ferns' was scarcely alluded to. He would not ilo Ministers the iMusti, e to sei.i-ese, they linsersised no information with) 1 -,,Let to the state of that port, or that they tied ant takes mea sures of prevaiitiou against its falling into the ene my's hired..

Some pros iSIOII ought at least to have been made to guard against wheat les unfortunately happened. It would not be satisfactory to his mind on this particular ,object, to be told, justice prevented our iiiterfer ig with the internal regulation aid policy of the •iiiiitry we had taleagrA to insist ; he would not :elv, rt to such au excuse tieing alleged by His Ma. jesty's Ministers, for it wild only tend to recall the painful memory of our conduct to other na tirnig• and particularly to that disgraceful conduct at Copeeliegen. On the part of the Spaniard., it must be allowed it would have tended to their in terest, as well as One% that the ships should not have fallen into the hands of the enemy; neither was there ocesision fur their being put in the possession . of Eriglaud, but they [night bate been dimmed to some other piece of :sr , ty.

At aii events, the enemy's aquadron having taken poesexeiou of so important au acquietime without any thing being done to prevent *twit a eislainity, on our port, cer tainly tyquired ettple, :Atom 'the • Lvrl of layEeti oor. was happy to beer the observation made by the Noble Parini (Gruoville) that on no account we would be justified in our bite conduct towards Spain, if we had hail recourse, for the purpme of currying any measure into elect, to force Of violeuce ; mid he trusted tie Noble Baron would go one ste p further. and sit we would not have twee juetilied it we had used eveu a threat or menace. With respect to the papers now on their Lori/ships' table, he must say, that he would venture to state, nu instance of any former inquiry into the conduct of Adminis tration could be adduced, where so much issfortua bon had been ....tranted • iu respect to the whole of their condect, as whet was fomented in the papers now on the talt:e. There might be. NOME iucosi venitotee attending the preseut mottos), but he was extremely anxious that the whole conduct of Ad taillike/loon should . ), • ovutiiiized, as to their con shirt to the late ttutossehoos iu Spain and Portugal ; and if the Noide Lent thought proper, it might k. as well to postpone his motion to a future day. • • The Duke of Noavote tirged the importance of our having front the test entered into a stipula tion with the Spaniards behire we assisted them. He an., apprehensive Cadiz, as he had noticed on a loom I tik.Ciliioo, Meat likely would fall into the ;omits of the French, unless something had been done to guard agaiust that erect. God forbid any man should stela up in that I louse to say hunt:e ssay might not to have been %hewn to the Spaniards when they attempted to rostit the usorput ion of the French Emperor ; but still, in justice to this coun try, and that of Spain. 0003 c provision ought to have beeu made. whereby, lifter the van elipsiise we had been put to on this occasion. we should at least have secured the Navy of Spain front Merest,- ing the marine of the enemy, which woe the best policy of Spain, as well as tine couotry, to hate adopted. The Earl of BUM/felt ANSMItE Said a few words in favour oldie omit and the necessity a hieli ex isted of fuller infurinatiou being given on the sub ject. After *short reply from hoed AULILLA X o, and a few remarks from Earl Geer, it was agreed to post pone the motion till a future day. PRODUCTION OF LETTERS. ' The Earl of Dees LEY rose, and, after a few oti servetimis on the propriety of producing every in format which email possibly tend to assist the !loose in f g their judgments on the conduct of Administration, he proceeded to move for certain Papers, to which, he understood. since lie came to the House, there would not lie any ma teriel objection. The Noble Earl then read a number of motions, that certain letters which passed from Mr. Emir, Sir John Moore, Mr. - Stewart, Sir David Baird, Lord Castlereagh, Sir Hew Dislryttiple, &e. &c. to each other, be laid be fore the House. The Kill of LIVERPOOL stated, that with re gard to t of these motions he had no objection.; hut he comb/ twit at sill approve of the orodurtion of th e letter from Lord Castlereagh to General Sir (high Dalrymple, wm, its ineinsurre, respecting the regency of Portugal, He hail eolue partial objections to some parts of the other papers, but these were the only ones that could not be pro duced entirely. without considerable detriment to the public service. In answer to some of the ge neral observations that had fallen from the Noble Mover of these documents, he should state, that His Niaiesty's Government were well prepared to elite. into the fullest explenatiou of their conduct as to the Spanish cause, whenever Purliaineut chose again to tome to the consideratioo of that question. The information upon this subject, al ✓eady before them, is., 110 doubt the fullest that ever was laid before Parliatneut, hut he had no in clination to oppose adding other papers for the production of which any. real grouuds hail been given. With respect to the correespondente between Sir John Moore and Mr. freer. and Sc, John Moore and Sir David Baird, he could inform the House, that Government had not seen that cot respunileitt e, but that that of Sir John Moore and Mr. Errol was in powieseion of a Member of the Government, but not yet produced as public docu ments. These tower had been transmitted to His Majesty's Goverment; but while he stated this fact, he did not do so for the purpose of imputing blame. Ho conceived, however, that these !utters were in no plat of view important, in the way in which shay win applied for on a former occasion. tho ground baying been to account for the advance of the British army front Salerno ne a. It never was his meaning to say, that the advance of the Bri tish army from Sselarnanea was improper, but, uu the contrary. it was highly protier, in every point of view. An opportunity woitlil be afforded of dis cussing that point, wherever the general question wee before them. He only me asit tot ay at present, that that advance did not grow out of that corm spundence, Otid under these Lire a tievatices he meant
