In the course of the sitting, some conversation, at various intervals, took place on the object, in which Lord Easx,iNE, the Earls of LAUDRRDALE and .11ARROWBY, a tut the LORD CHANCELLOR were the speakers ; two motions were proposed, one by. Lord ERSKINE; principally for the purpose of having additional information laid before the House on the subject : tind the other by the Earl of LAUDERDALt, for the appointment of a com mittee of Inquiry, similar to that instituted by the Commons, as alluded to by, hi 3 Lordship last evening, into the nature of Mr. Paliner's agreement with the PostinastersAieneral, and the other matters relative to the case. These proceedinErs were severally agreed.to, thecotirse of some short discussion lictween the above Peers. The Earl of LIVERPOOL also acquiesced in the propriety of a Committee of previous Inquiry; especially as it would afford an opportunity ex amining a Noble Lord upon the subject, who, from circumstances, was precluded from giving evidence on the Committee which sat on a for mer occasion. The Committee, as moved by the. Earl of LAu- DF.RDALE, was.ordered , to sit on Friday, to be au open one, and messages to the Commons were ordered, to desire permission for two 'of their Members, the Right Honourable , Charles Long, and the Right Hon. George Rose, to attend _the said Committee. CONFERENCES. 'A Message was receives! from the Collin - ions, presented by Mr. ADDINGTON, requesting as im mediate conference, on the subject of the amend 7 meuts made by their Lordships to the Militia En listment Bill. Accordingly the desired conference was ap pointed to be held forthwith, in the Painted Cham ber, and the Earl of Hariowby, Lord President ; the Earls of Macclesfield, Pawls, Liverpool, and Radnor, and Buckinghamshire, and Viscount Sid mouth, were deputed to manage t h e same on t h e part of their Lordships. On the return of the Deputatiim the LORD Pan- SID NT reported the result of the conference, the purport of which, as we could collect, was, that though the Commons deemed their reasons for disagreeing from their Lordships amendments suf ficient, yet, lest the fate of the Bill may be en 7 dangered front the.advanced period of the Session, they would leave the adjustment of the question to their Lordships. A Message was sent to the Commonsolesiring a speedy con f erence on the part of the House, touch ing the subject of the conference held on a former evening. . The compliance of the Commons being an 116unced,, the above mentioned Peers, with the ex ception of the Earl of Radnor, whose place as a Manager was supplied by the Bishop ofChichester, were again deputed to the Painted Chamber.— This proceeeding appeared to be for the purpose of communicating to the Couamoris their Lord ships' assent, without amendment, to the Resolu tions delivered to the . Lords at a former confer ence respecting the affairs of India. On their Lordships' return the formal Repo' t was made. AFFAIRS OF INDIA, tkc: Lord'EaSKINE presented a great number °file titions front different parts of the country, especiiilly froni the County of Cornwall in -favour of the propagation of the Chi idiot] Knowledge. in India"; and observed, that it was the duty of a Christian Parliament to promote Christian know ledge in every part'of this extended empire. • • • The Petitions being read short, were ordered to lie on the table. A message was received front the Commons,' presented by Mr. Robinson, reciuesting a third conference with their Lord 7 ships,- on the subject of the Affairs of-India. • The conference accordingly took place, managed by the same Peers as th e last, and on their return, the Lord Presi , dent reported that an additional Resolution had beets com municated front the Commons, who desired their Lordships concurrence therein. (This was the 18th Resolution, and respected the promotion of Christian Knowledge - in In dia). It was ordered to be taken:into tonSideration. to morrow. • The New Streets Dill was.read a second time, and commit ted for Friday. The Election Writs Bill, in a Committee of the whole House ' receivetheme amendments on the suggestion of Vis count MELVILLE and the Loan Cliattiel:Ll,oll; and in the course of some conversation on the subject, the Noble Vis count expressed his opinion there Was no necessity fur extend ing the provisions of the bill to Ireland. ()n the question respecting the Report, some farther con versation took place between the Duke of Norfolk, Viscount Sidruutith, and the Lord Chancellor, chiefly respecting the. emoluments of the Officer through whom the Writs'were con veyed. The Noble Viscount- explained, that the determinate stipend enjoyed by theOificer iu question, was a conipensation in lieu of his former emolument of a given sum upon each writ; and the Noble mot Learned Lord explained, that after these documents had passed the Great Seal,' he had no con cern with the.transtnission, or in what respected the Officer. The Duke of NORFOLK disclaimed the least idea in any thing he had, ctid, of any imputation on the Noble Lord on the Woolsack. It he entertained any suspicions of improper conduct, they- would be directed to a different quarter. Theßeport, as we could hear, "%VP& ordered to be received to-morrow. . The farther proceedings in the Committee of Privilege, on th e Dorthwiok Peerage, were fixed for Tuesday next; and the Earl of LAUDERDALE said, he should certainly bring for ward his preliminary motion on the subj ec t on Friday,— Adjourned.

On the motion of the Chancellor of the Exche quer, the re'prAt of the Committee of Supply, in chiding the Grant, in consequence of the Swedish Treaty, was taken into further consideration. _ _ Mr. BANKEs said, he had tea intention of disa reeing from the resolution, but 'was desirous of offering a few observations in order to state his opinion to tae•liouse upon the subject. He re ferred to the inquiry of 1796, in which the House with regard to the advances made to Austria, had recorded their sentiments, that such giant should not be considered as a precedent, and was pro ceeding, when The SPEAKER directed the 'attention of the House teia more urgent . bosines - s. A conference with the Lords-bad been previously requested, for the purpose ofeoinumnieating to their LorNhips the 13th Resolution on the East India question, and the return of the persons appointed to require this conference rendered it necessary to interrupt the lion. Gentleman. ` The formula of this conference, and of ano ther relative to an amendment iii the Militia Bill, having been arranged, and the business con chided, Mr. BaSaul resumed. He thought the• ad ' vances to Sweden in the present instance did nut possess the same plea of necessity as the advances to Austria in 1796. He could . see no necessity fot cones. tiling them, and censured the grunt of pub lic money, while . ParliaMent was sitting, without a communication being made to them. No .reason for the secresy that had been observed appeared to him to exist. The House was kept in the dark longer than was requisite, which, in his opinion was not defensible. In the general view which he took of this '!'rutty, it met with his disapproba tion, because he thought it gave up and paid the most of aity Treaty in his recollection, for which So little was to be received—for what did we gain by it ?s. The sum and substance was that Of giving priority to a direct continentql expedition, instead of the conquest of Norway being first accomplish ed. He complained of the Treaty being ambigu ously worded, and of thagreat want of explicit ness which ran through it. As examples of this, he instanced the undefined nature.Of the provision for the direct operation of Sweden on the Conti nent. He also insisted upon the topic of our be . ing obliged to perform our quota of the stipula tions, though the other party might not in jnstice be - called on to do any thing. His conviction was, that from this uncertainty we should be cosh. Pellet! to fulfil our share of the bargain abiolutely for nothing ; that' we should give ft 11111D011 of money and a fine island,. and actually receive no benefit; In this view, he would ask the Noble Lord (Castlereagh) if Sweden in this arrangement did not depend on being joined by thirty or thirty= five thousand Russians, and had not entered into engagements accordingly ? If this were the case, thee the engagements of both Britain and Sweden might, though they pursued the most perfect good faith, .be violated by the inability of the third [tower to perform its part of the obligation, and iH this event he believed En "'Land would have tO fulfil its S3CrifiCeS without reaping the corre sponding-benefit. lle wished to know whether the subsidy was to be paid to Sweden during the con tinuance of the armistice, and if this armistice ended in a Continental peace, what steps were to he taken to provide a reciprocity of interests ? He put a variety of hypotheses on the probable state Of affairs which might result from the present si tuation of the Continental Powers, and inquired what provision had been made to meet them. He contended, that there was reason to believe that Sweden put a different construction on the Treaty front what the Noble Lord (Castlereagh) did, as front a proclamation which he read, it seemed that that Noble Person considered England as the gua rantee of the conquest of Norway, which the No ble Lard disclaimed. With regard to the subsidy, he thought it improvidently entered into andin sufficiently guarded. He had ever been hostile to the policy of Continental subsidies, He also ex pressed himself hostile to the cession of Gitaada lc He wished to !same whether Ministers con- ' ceived that the : landing thirty thousand Swedish troops at Stralsund was a sufficient compliance with the Treaty, on the part of Sweden, to oblige us to fulfil the stipulations of the Treaty, by pay ing the subsidy, and ceding Guadeloupe. If they did, the probability was, that the whole of the money paid to Sweden would he thrown away, and Guadaloupe ceded to no purpose. Sweden wis to be paid for her exertions on the Continent, while the other stipulations of the Treaty would make it her interest to spare her troops in that quaiter, for the purpose of keeping her resources in reserve in the attack of that part of Denmark the possess Sion of which was guaranteed to lei by the treaty. The Honourable Gentleman ,concluded by, say ing, that it was not his intention to oppose the re solution. Lord CASTLEREAGIT observed, that the HOD. Member had travelled at large into the: tlitlertnt subjects connected with the Swedish Treaty, but as he (Lord C.) had on . a, former occasion deli vered his sentiments at great, length on these matters, he hoped that the -Hon. Member would not attribute it to any want of respect toward him, if, in his reply, he should confine himself to a few of the points on which the Hon. Cientlo - had *lore particularly insisted. As to what the Hon. Gentleman hail said about the House not .having been informed of the advances made to Sweden, he conceived it would not have' be come hini nor any of his Majesty's Ministers to sitar tidviaed his Royal Higlints§ the t i i'flied neA' gent to send a Messenger JO itltdeut fh that be had made certain advances of Motley' tti Sweden j for by 60 didug i the lioose Would bard • been placed in a sitoiltion of cal:N - 11d eiiibui.hr,”- as thy respOnsili]lity of the whole transad tion, instead of resting upon Ministers, wou:d . 14 i such a proceeding, have 'beet) completely trans ferrets from them. lieferring tti the general 'ob.= serrations upon the Treaty - which , the Hon. Oen tiornith had made, he thoubt . thet w.as not stating the proposition too broadly, When he said that if all the 11 cabers of that House enter-1 tamed the same opinions with :the Honourable Gentleman, no such thing as a Treaty ut Sub , slily world ever, under any Circumstances. ; be made ; for the whole scope of the arguments of the . Honourable Gentleman was ; that all the burden of .contingencics-should be thrown upon the other parts' for the p or p os ' e of reher pig our , selves. The fact was, that Sweden had no other interest in view by landing her troops on the Con tinent, titan the interest of the confederatino, and the Treaty never had been framed wider any such impression ;13 that Sweden waved any private io terest, foi' the 'purpose of employing her troops against the common enemy. He had no hesita tion in saying, that the. liononrable Gentleman misconceived the nature of the whole TreatV, Ile (Mr. 13anlies) had conceived that the l an d ing of the Swedish troops at Stralsund was a sufficient compliance with the stipulations of the Treaty to entitle Sweden to demand the fulfilment of every other article of the Treaty on our part ; but if the. Hon. Gentleman had read the Treaty, for the . purpose of understanding it, and not of finding fault, he would have formed a -very different opi nion. it wits the landing of our army, with a view to operations against the common enemy that was to entitle Sweden to claim the fulfilment of the other stipulations of the Treaty ; and it was ,for Ministers to judge when Sweden shall have fultilled,her engagements in this respect. Of Course, Ministers would be responsible to the House for their proceedings ; but, in the mead time, he could not anticipate this responsibility, by answering all the queries of, the Hon. Gentle , mail. As the Hon. Gentleman bad alluded to the events which had recently teLenplace on the Con , . fluent, he had to state that the person at the head of the Swedish army was perfectly satisfied with the arrangements of the Allies. As on R former occasion he had said, that there was reason to believe that the force ot. the Swedish army was nearly equal to that whieh SWeden was bound to furnish by the . articles of the treaty, it was . his daty - to state officially, that the amount of the Swedish force Was greater than was specified in the Treaty, 'exclusive of the Pomeranian .corps, and elsoot the reinforcement whieb was daily ex pected' from .Sweden. He declined saying any thing in his place in Parliament on the subject of the cession of Guadeloupe. It' Parliansent did place at the disposal of Ministers such supply as Might be necessary for the fulfilment of the Tretaq, his Majesty's Ministers were of course answer% able for the way in which it might be applied. In his own opinion the Treaty was' framed at a time of the roost critical importance,' and he thought that it wits calculated to incorporate the interest's of the ton trotting Powers. Mr..l3Aimus and Lord CASITETtEACiIt mutually explained. , The question being then put, the Resolutiot was agreed,to. A Message from the Lords requested the House to permit Mr. Rose and Mr. C. Long to be exa mined before the Committee appointed by their Lordships to inquire into the nature of the con tract between the late Mr. Pitt and Mr. Palmer, which was complied with. ORANGE CLUBS. Mr. PRI:EMANTLE gave notice, in the name of an I-lo►►o►.uable Member", of a motion to-morrow, on the subject of the existence of certain illegal societies, nailer the name of Orange Clubs. 'Mr. Hon Nett wished to' know — %vbether it was the `intention of Ministers to submit to the House -any proposition on the subject of increasing the salary of. Judges who had retired from public ser vice ? He meant that it should 'be 'increased in ,the same proportion as the salaries of Judges ctn . - ployed ill public service. This proposition, how ever, had been lost by the late increase of the salaries of Judges in emplityment. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied, that it Was the intention of Government to take the matter into consideration, but he. could not specify. the time when it would be done. Mr. Low brought in a Bill for facilitating the auditing andimaking up the accounts in the Pay- master general's Office. Read a first time,-and ordered to be read again to-morrow. The House then resolved itself iota a COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY, to which the Ordnance EStittleCS, Army Extra ordinaries, and 'Miscellaneous Estimates were or dered to he referred.• The Committee also re ceived instructions to consider the allowance to be made, to the COMlllisSiOnerS of Fees in Ireland. Mr. WARD, in rising to move for a sum to de fray the Ordnance expenses, congratulated the Committee on the diminution in the amount of the estimate, which was less than that of last year by no less a sum than 150;000/. lie stated that in the present estimate 330,000/. was for the new expenses. it was proposed that the sum of 90,000/, should be expended in , the purchase of lands, in the vicinity of Portsmouth. Con Me sums had been expended on the erection ,of fortifications for th s e defence of Portsammth t b" the benefit of a great deal of what - had been. tion . o was lost by Parliament having in its wi ,: lti t ott , l , l l %-: fu4ed to grant money for thc P7.7 1 7. ° .(,)! of ground on which of late hon.ie , a . , pecu C 4 k ;:y1: for etc7l.l:rpi.
