temptation, would lead to the consideration of what Treaties .were abandoned, what were left un touched, and what were left in a state of uncer. tainty, which he deenied even worse than -aban doned. Upon,the point of misrepreSentation of what had fa:len froth him, in Paris,'and alluded to by the Noble 'Lord, he was fully aware of the circum tance, and without teterring to particular documents, (we understood . his Lordship to say, that.) every thing which was represented of him in Paris, .for the last' ten years, was a misrepresentation. How_ ever, from his view of the subjea, proposed by the . the Noble Lord for discUssion;he conceived it could make no difference with respeet to it, whether the discussion proposed by himself took place on an earlier or , later day . . He particularly wished it to take place on, Tuesday, with regard, as we under_ stood him , chiefly to the convenience of some Noble Lords; he would, therefore move, " that the House . be summoned for TneSday next." Lord PELHAM observed, that with resped to what' the Noble Lord had alluded to in regard to an expelled Motion from hi:n .on the subjeCt of the Treaty just communicated, the House 'would do him the justice to recollea, that pn former occasions, he expressly said,. that any Noble Lord who chose it, was at, liberty to' make lny Motion, or submit whatever proposition he thought proper upon the subjeo. In the present'instaoce, he did .not feel it neceasary to make any motion,. nor had he .. any 'measure td propose arising QUI de Treaty. With respect to the notice which-had been given by his - Noble Friend (AuCt.ii,A.NDI of his intended propositions, we understood the Noble Secretary *to express his opinion; that'a laser day would be admi.,sable„ chiefly for the purpose of seeing the extent to which the discussiou of the genetal sub jett would extend, Lord 4u cia A iyp spoke short* in' explanation ; and said, that the stibje4 he meant to bring for ward was, God knows, *of sufficient importance for a,separate discussion. He professed his wish to ac commodate Noble Lords, as far as he could, con sistently with the pature and urgency of the topics in question.; and in this view lie would agree to postpone hi; Motion for summoning their Lordships, from Monday till Thursday next. Lord Git ivyt LIE spoke in :explanation; Lord IJOBARF made a few remarks upon '.hat had transpired in, the course of the conversation. He seemed to entertain no objeCtion to a full dis cussion of the Treaty, hut had no hesitation in as serting his opioion, that if the French should ad vance pretensioos, they would be founded on the arguments of the Noble Lord. The questions were then regularly put on the MOtion of the Noble Lords for summoning the Nouse, videlicet: on that of Lord QRENVILLE, for that procAding taking place for Tuesday next, and of Lord AUCKAND, for the following Thurs. - d a y. They, were both ordered accordingly. Lord IT:ALA:VD inoved for the'produaion of a List of all the tensions Chz-irgeable :on the Civil List„ &c. from the' Ist of January, ;800, to the resent - time ; which was ordered accordingly. • Some proceedings took place -relative to the Staridisig Orders of the House, respe(.iing the Sale = . - of E,tares, and some 'private business was disposed after whicii,the House adj-ourntti tp-rnor -. • .11013 , 3 E t) CO AlllO 2VS ~:t THURSDAY, ' APRIL 29. TnE CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER gave notice, that in the Coin:nittee of svVdys_and Means to.morrow,• he should move the Lottery fur the service of the present year. Mr. ALEXANDER brought up the Report of the Committee of Supply rn the Provision to i)e made for their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of SUSSEX and CAMBRIDGE. The Resolutions of the said Committee were read and agreed to ;. and on the Motion of were CHANCELLOR of the F.XCHEQUEk,, a Bill was or derej to be brought in op them. The . ,,Prench Wine Bill was read a. third time, and psased. The Irish Bank gestridion Bill was read .a third time, and passed,. '." The House then went through a Committee on *tlieSugar Drawback Bill. The Report to be re. eived to.morrow. . Lord . HAwKES4tnty brought up a Copy of the Definitive Treaty. of Peace ratified between - His Majesty and the French Republic, His Catholic Majesty, and the Batavian Republic. Lori HAWKESBURY said, " It is the desire of the Executive Government to follow the custom and t4saV of Parliament; and in looking into the history -of former times we did not, see any precedent of •any Definitive Treaty being made the. subjed of a Motion in Parliament on behalf. of Government, I have therefore to say, it is not the. intention of His Majesty's Government, under these circumstances to institute any proceeding upon this subjcd. I am aware / however, - it is fully competent to any Mem— ber of Parliament, ..who may objet to this Treaty, •on account of any thing appealing to beimperfed in it, any of its parts defedive,"or any of its pro-' visions -being inconsistent with the Preliminaries, or from any other cause of diSsatisfadion in the tnind'of any Member of Parliament, it is perfectly open to such Member, on any of these grounds, to propose any Moti n he may think proper; and, indeed, after what has passed in this House, and elsewhere, there - is reason to suppose that some. ;thing of that sort. 'is intended. On the part ..of His Majesty's Government, I can only at present.. say, that when the question shall be brought. forward, we shall he ready to explain the - whole of Our conclud, in every part of thiS sadion, and, to state, fully, fairly, and explicitly, the grounds on which we have thought it our duty to advise His Majesty to sign this Treaty of - Peace. But while I say this, I would just throw out, that if it is intended. to bring forward any discussion up on this subjett, I hope it will be brought forward in such a shape, as that the' whole of the question *May be before the House, so that the discussion may be fair and open. We are all aware, in some mea sure, and, you, Sir,. well know, that upon intro. .6cing any separate, or distind Motion, it is in the pow.cr of the party who makes it, to go into an extent, or field of discourse, almost at will, into almost any extent, because, before- the Motion i s made, it is impossible to know, whether it m a y not be applicable to the subject to,be discussed, and credit must be given to ,every Member, before bi s Motion specifics his ohjeft, that he is not saying airy thing which isirregular, and it is impossibl e to confine him to the Motion, because it cannot be known what the Motion is : whereas, those who are to follow . , are under a strul rule, which is, to confine themselves within the bounds of the Motion; by which an embarrassment, sometimes; arises, and is felt by those who wish to answer what has 14een said against them ; but which they cannot be allow ed to do. Therefore, when I say that we are, on the'part of Government, ready to meet the discus sion of this business; I must, at the same time, be allowed to express a hope, that if any discussion takes place, we may rely on the frankness and the candour of those who bring it forward ; indeed, I am pretty well assured, it will be brought forward in a way that will embrace the whole substance of the measure now before the Horse, for nothing short of that will be fair and liberal. I thought it my duty to explain what the intention was of His Ma jesty's Government upon this subjea, to which I ventured to acid a hope, as to the course in which the measure o'4l be considered. I have no other Motion ty m:lke than, " That these Papers be laid upon thejable." The Motion being put, Mr. W INDHAM said, that the Noble Lord had anticipated part of ' what he .was going - w . say upon this subjed; and he i s inderstood .the course stated, and the grounds for it, to be such as tnen tioned. by the Noble Lord; but he must observe, however, the Noble Lord had not said any thing which changed- his mind as to the course ht should pursue, but which happened to accord with khe ideas of the Noble Lord, -as he had exyresscd himself to-night. He should like to have an early day to mention this matter again; he should propose Monday next, not for the purpose of discussing the subjeff, but for the House then .to fit: a day, and that he should wish not to be--an early dayi to dis cuss the whole matter. He did not wish to enter on a debate on Monday, but he meant it as a mo tion, merely to explain the grounds on which the House should fix some future day for the discussion. The-question was then put, and carried. .• Lord HAWKESBURY observed,. that where documents were laid before the House, by command of His Majesty, it v,as not usual to move for printing them, but, he believed, that a printed copy of this Treaty, either was now ready at the door, or very soon would be, for the Members of the House, by virtue of an order made elsewhere. Mr. f;REY asked, when the Convention with the Northern Powers would be laid before the House ? L9rd HAWKESBURY said, the accession of these Powers was agreed to, but the Ratifications were not arrived. The moment they did arrive, he had no doubt he should receive His Majesty's command to lay them before the House. •The` . CH/L\rCE.4.,LOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that in the absence of two Right, - Honourable Friends of his, one of whom was absent on ac count of a domestic distress, he had to apply to the .Right Hon. Gentleman behind him (Mr. FosTElq to put off his motion on the subject :t . iris,ll Linen ; it might, at present, be put off until to-morrow, and further postponed, if necessary. He wished his Right Hon.-Friends to be present at the discussion of this subjeEt, and he was confident, the Right Hon. GentleniAn would have the goodness to con sent to this short delay. Mr; FOSTER said, he had never shewn any anxiety to proceed in haste upon this subject.. lie was perfeCtly ready to assent to this request. He wished .both these Right Hon: Gentlemen to be present at the discuSiion of it ; it should therefore, if the House pleased, stand for to-morrow ; which was agreed to accordingly. • A Message from the Lords, informed the House of their Assent to the Bank RestriCtion Bill. The SECRETARY at WAR moved that the - Eng_ lish Militia Bill be re-committed.. The SECRETARY a . t WAR said, that the 'Amend: ments he had to propose, were in' general, 'merely, verbal. The Resolutions - were then read, and after some•observations from - Sir ROBERT BUXTON, Sir WILLIAM ELI , OkI3, 'Joicgs, and Mr. GEORGE VANSITTART, the Amendments proposed by the SECRETARY at WAR *ere agreed to.—Adjowned.
