Counsel were heard at considerable length. re spewing the Scots Appeal Cause, Rose, Esq. c. the Earl of Fife, viz. the Solicitor-General (Sir S. Romillv) and the new Solicitor-General of Scot land (Mr. Clarke) on the `art of the Respondent. After which, their Lordships deferred the farther consideration of the case till tu-me•rrow. Mr. Jones, marshal of the King's Bench Prison, presented an Account of the number, kc of Persons confined for Debt therein ; which was ordered to lie upon the table. RUPTURE WITH PRUSSIA. The outer being read for taking His Majesty's recent most gracious Message on this subjeCt, itsto considerar;fle— Lord GRENJILLE rose, and addressed their Lordship., introductory to the Addre.s he proposed to move to His Majesty on the occasion. It appear ed to him, he observed, indeed he thought he could rely with confidence, that upon what he was about to propose to the consideration of the House, there could be het one sentiment ezisting in the minds of their Lordships. Not only in that House, but throughout dm sehelevolunry, all Europe, and the world at large, in the mind of every honest and discriminating man, there could exist but one senti ment, but one opinion.—Whether the conduct of Prussia were examined upon the principles of jus. tice ; whether with regard to what was due from one nation to another whether from the mesnoty of past intercourse' of kindness, or existing trea ties ; or taking it even upon the ground of inte rest alone—the conduct of that Court towards this Country and its Sovereign,was what every man must equally condemn. In the present case, he should nil enter into any detailed views of the relevant situation of the two countries ; nor vas it necessary to enter into a particular consideration of the con dud of Prussia previous to the late peace between Austria and Fiat es. At the moinent, the line of conduit of that titan towards this country, was not one which was to be expeCted from an enemy, but of an Ally, and on the point of bring drawn closer together by additional Treaties of Alliance. After that period, the first thing he had to point eut to the attention of their Lordships, was t!.e condud of Prussia with respea to His Majesty's dominions upon the Continent ; the first step was openly to occupy the EleCtorate of H glover, by the Prussian troops, upon the pretence, in the first instance, that such a proceeding was resolve,il on, merely to pre tea that country, and save it from the worse abet native, of being occupied by the French troops ; this step, on the part of Prussia, was, however, con trary to the wishes of the lawful Sovereign of the country, in opposition to his desire, and in violation of his jog rights. Even write the pretext alleged by frossiit, the real sed tries motive, la would., under the circumstances he had mentioned. be an outrageous violation of justice ; a position which, he thought, ere man could deny. Were it a consideration abich affeeted the British nation alone, he was confident the reason, the justice, the political judgment of their Lordships, Would be sufficient to induce them to decide with His Majesty's Government upon the line of conduit necessary to be adopted on the or e tsion. Ile should not, therefore, attempt to ap peal to their feelings, in an instance, where the per sonal rights and sovereign charatler of His Majesty hislasel!, was particularly affected ; a consideration of the kind,must unavoidably increasetheir indignation. With respect to this aggression on the part of Ptussia, His Majesty wishing, as far as he could, consistently with his honour and sovereign rights, to preserve the relations of peace and friendship with that Conn, had entero.i into an amicable negoti ation with Prussia, and endeavoured, to the utmost of his power, by means of friendly representation, to avert the calamity of increasing the llams:r of the enemies of Great Britain. Every thing which muld possibly oirviate that necessity, was dose on the part of I lis Majesty. While this country was pursui•.•. such a mode' ate and forbearing line of conduct, the veil, thin and transparent as it was, thrown over the real motives and designs of Prussia, was suddenly and unexpeetedly turn ;asunder, and a far more ass gre,sive coo; se was suddenly WPM by Prussia. The very nett paper which followed the deelaratior of the Court of Berlin, that the oezupation of Hanover, by its troops, seas merely provisional, that it was done with the friendly intention of preserv ing it from more onerous occupation by the troops of France—the very next paper issued by that Court was a declaration, that the Prussian troops had taken possession of Hanover, as a decided conquest of France, and 'as granted to it by that Power; in lieu of various Prussian territories ceded to France. With respell to the claims of France in that respell, their Lordships would bear in mind, how Hanover was suddenly attacked by the French troops, without even the form of a declaration of war against its Sovereign ; for Hanover was not attacked as a member of the British empire, But on that he would again observe. However, this developement. s' following so close upon the heels" of the former steps taken by Prussia, plainly mani fested the nature and chars her of the whole trails anion on the part of that Court. About the same time was issued, the notification to the British Mi nister, that, in obedience to the wishes of the enemy, attually engaged in war against this country, Prussia had taken measures to exclude British ships and British trade, not only from her own posts, but from those of countries dependent on her. It certainly was a lamentable consideration, that such an unprovoked and unjustifiable condo& on the part of Prussia, should go to involve in the cala mities of war, the innocent inhabitants of the countries subjea to her dominion ; but this would operate as an aggravation of his candela. On this clear, incontrovertible view of the case, he would ask, whether there remained any possible alternative for the government of this country, keeping in view the maintenance of its charafter, and the assertion of her just rights, but to aft as it had done ? (Hear ! hear ! ) It it were the objea to inflame the passions of those whom he had the honour to address, a great deal might be said, in illustration of this ag gravated, this ungrateful condua of Prussia; but a mere statement of the fans, they spole so plainly for themselves,would be sufficient to secure the con viction, and to determine the judgment of their Lord ships. One point, particularly, however, he could not avoid adverting to, which was the principle of the reasoning, which Prussia seemed to adopt, in something like an attempt to justify her aggressions, and which, if admitted for a moment, would go to overturn those principles, and that system, long established and recognised by the governments of Europe; vie. the compulsion used by France, or the dread of its coercion, which induced her to cede various portions of her territories to that country, as a ground of justification, or a defence of the al leged necessity she was under of taking possession of the territories of a friendly and peaceable neigh bour, in order to indemnify herself for the cessions so made ; such a monstrous and absurd proposi tion was never heard. as applying to those general rules of justice, upon which the law of nations proceeded. (Hear! Hear!) Were such a mode of reasoning adopted, it such a name as reasoning could be given to it, it would go tes preclude the oppor tunity of resisting France in Europe. (Hear! Near !) Such language and conduit on the part of Prussia, argued not more injustice than folly. The effeas of such a principle, as applying to other Euro pean states, should be considered ; and, in that view, the principle was as little defensible in point of political wisdom, as in justice. The line of conduit to be adopted by this country should proceed upon three general grounds—in the first instance, the necessity of considering the in terests of Germany (so we understood his Lordship) as inseparably conneaed with the interests of this country. Ihe necessity, in the second place, of evincing, that from no ports in the world should the British ships or trade be excluded by force, with im punity•-•-and thirdly, the necessity, for the sake not only of ourselves and Europe, but the whole civilized world, of resisting, to the utmost of our power, that odious and detestable principle of a State indemnify ing itself, at the expense of its weaker neighbour, for that which it may be unjustly compelled to sur render to a more powerful. (Near! hear!) There was another topic which he could not avoid recur ring to, which they must all applaud and feel the full force of; namely, the great degree of delicacy and forbearance, manifested by His Majesty, throughout the whole of this interesting transac tion, which induced him to negotiate, while a shadow of hope remained, of gaining the objea of his just and sovereign rights, by means of conciliating and amicable representations. lie never thought of adopting any other line of condua. With these im pressions superadded, he was confident their Lord ships would feel no objeflion to assuring their Sove reign. that they would feel an insult, or an injustice offered to him, as fotcibly as if direfted against themselves. (Hear! h,ar!) His Lordship con cluded, by moving an Address to His Majesty, cor responding with the spirit and tenour of his most gracious Message,, and containing the warm est assurances of co-operation and support, with respea to events so deeply affeCting the interests of thins owarscantry. and those of a Prince so justly dear to them." Earl Fl I•ZWILLIAM seconded the Motion for the Address; which being read by the Noble Lord on the Woolsack. Lord HAWKESBURY rose to express his en tire and unqualified approbation of the Address ; after the abli manner on which the grounds of it had been explaii.ed to their Lordships, he should feel himself, he said, inexcusable, did he occupy their attention many minutes ; he, however, thought, when he considered the necessity of the case, it was due to His Majesty's present govern mega. that he should state his entire and corn• Ode approbation of what was new proposed.— He was ready to accord in all due praise to these principles of forbearance and moderation, which atm/it'd the condua of goverment ; notwithstand ing the unjust and aggressive occupation of His Majesty's Eleaoral dominions by the Pitissian troops, while any hope rem mood of obtaining re dress by means of amicable eg.iciation, or friendly erlanations. He was sore, iaiwever, thar His Ma jesty's Hanoverian dominions had originally been occupied by the enemy from motives of hatred to this country; i• was dine, notwithstanding the ex :.!t Ice of positive treaties, which excluded Hanover 1;.. m a participati-n in the contests between France and Great Bi In a similar predicament were placed the Ilai. -.:owns, whose tights were outraged .1 a Sin Way, Vi•••lAti;ln treaties, which stipulated for tl,nir rentt..ittv, N tt . withstanding atlr war in which the Gel:llan S loe; might be engaged; and to this xteaty, Prnr is berwlt was a party ; whic h COnSlderat:er, 11 : 1 10ntr.eny an aggravation of her condua t and this conclu.i. applied, under the cocum‘tances. to tl.e ti , ifti mt bearings of her condlet, considerin7 the. •41 t i." situation of Great Britain with Prussia, .ird othw Powers, as a belligetest, more'especi.tly uithrelcr. encc to the public Lass of Nations, it toy yet etim and to the system of Europe, it such .s Fyste:l exists. With respect to the exclusion of and British trade from the ports of Pf.l,ss3 And the North of Europe, it was a measure which evtilill.6‘ would produce a ten-fold retaliation and t h5,„ ‘ j,,,,,. cage upon her own commerce, shipping, al . s a „.;,.. gatinn. He took the opp.ntnnity to exprrts leis earnest hope, that, under the present circurnstar.e l y every possible endeavour would be taken tit uses; continue, and improve that connexion and gr o i undorstand , ng, which happily existed betv.een His Majesty and the two great Nor! bern Pow ers it( Europe—he meant, the Russian Emperor asst tiv King of Sweden, and which may be produstreli the most beneficial results. . Lord MULGRAVE begged kave to say a few words on the occasion. He thought, that no mei who felt (or the hollow or the interests of the cow.. try, could hesitate a moment in giving his full a,,- probation and concurrence to the Address now .posed. He held it undtr the present circurnstar.c(l of Europe, utterly impossible fir this country is be at War with France, without being, at use Lone time, when her avowed and proclaimed vassalage was considered, at war with Prussia. He could rst withhold his tribute of applause, for the pmnsp t , 5 ,. pious, and efferftual measures, taken by admir.:Era. tion, on the occasion ; they were, indeed, indispes sibly necessary, and he trusted they would be pre. severed in. 'l'he trust so confidently espreswd 4). His Noble Friend, of meeting unanimity in the pre. sent instance, was superfluous, as their Lidsh;ps would all naturally feel a strong desire to express themselves in the way proposed. Of the hope cc. pressed by his Noble Friend who spoke last, be thought the same, as obvious policy too strosely dietated the line of conduS recommended by him. Recurring to the recent measures adopted by Mi. :sisters, with respett to Prussia, he expressed Lis opinion. it augured well of their future collided. The question was then put, and the Addles voted by their Lordships—Nees The same was ordered to be presented to His Majesty, in the usual way, by the Lords with whits staves. On the Motion of Lord HOLLAND, the Bill for enabling His Majesty, in Council, o vest semis powers in the Governors of the West India Wands. was ordered to he read a second time taws. row se'nnight. and their Lordships to be summorod for that Day. The Bills upon the Table, chiefly private, were forwarded in their several stages. After which, the House adjourned till to-inorrow, when their Lont. l ships stand summoned on the second Trailing d the Bill for the relief of certain Insolvent Debtor!. HOUSE OV COMMONS. A new writ was ordered to be issued fur the county of Wexford, in the room of Lotd h octeat Loftus, now Marquis of Ely.
