WALLACE rose in pursuance of the notice which he 4; 4ittl given to submit to the House the propriety of reviving the Committee which had been appointed in se farmer Session to consider of the mean' of improving and extending the Fe reign Commerce of the country. He felt it his duty to come forward thus early with this motion, not only on the. general gro - and that if the labours of the Committee should be thought useful, sufficient dine ought to be affordeu for the prosecution of the important inquiries to which their attention would 'be directed, but also on the special ground arising out of the dr . eumstances under which . they separated at the termination of, • the last Session of Parliament. Many honourable Gentlemen. would be aware that when the DM: System commenced it was founded on the plan of • granting compensation to those whose interests were affected by it, and particular privileges were granted to those Companies for a limited time. The period for which some of these had been granted was now about to expire. The first of these cases which had been pressed on the attention of the House was that of the West India Dock Company. . In contemplation of the privilege which had been secured to them . expiring in the course of the present year,. it would be remem bered that in the last Session the Company had applied by pe titihn to Perliament fora continuation of them. Since that application was made other petitions on the same subject, but i. a conflicting nature, had been received, which, together with the first petition, hail been referred to the Committee on Fo -reign Trade. The Committee had felt the importance of the sub ect both as it affected individuals and the country at lerge, and they therefor,: thought it their duty to suspend the inquiry in which they were proceeding when these petitions came be fore them, and therefore, after closing that particular branch 9f it which at that moment had occupied their attention, they immediately devoted themselves to the investigation of the subject of these petitions; They pursued the inquiry with all possible diligence till the late Session approached its termina tion, at which period they had collected all, or nearly all, the evidence which eeemed necessary' to throw light on the ques tion. But after all this was done, from the short period which had to elapse ,before the prorogation, ; and the absence of many e 4 the Committee, who were in the habit of )riving town et that Season of the year; it was felt that they were not in a situation to offer run opinion to the House which would be sane. factory to themselves or to the country. Wishing to afferd an opportunity fir their arriving, at a more satisfactory con clusion than it was possible for them to come to at that moment, and entertaining an expectation that the. Committee would be resappointed at the opening of the present Session. of Parlia ment, they determined on taking the cones. which heliad' scribed, and these labours were left in an unfinished state.— It was thus that the great question, to which it was his duty to direct the attention of the House, now stood. Evidence had hien collected, and all the matenals prepared, for coining to • a final decision' on the ,natters which bed been referred to the Cernmitsee. It remained for the flouee to determine, ,whe . tiler by re-appointing them they should be. enabled to assist the • country with the result of their labours, which wigs notless btu portant to the intereete of individuals, than 'it was to those of the great snereato de intereete of the nation. Having touted th et a much, he did not think it necessary for him to go at length into the general grounds on which . 'he desired that this Com mittee should lie received. They were in fact so well known :that detailed explanation would be euperiluoun., The course which their former proceedings had taken had frequently been (Wed to the House. Thu' effect with which they had applied theinselVeir to gein information on particular points was made •• known and therefore it would be a waste of' tune for him now 'ttedetain the House long by deseription. Neither would he - enter into a general exposition of the situation of the export trade of the country, for at this early period of the Session such ari expeeition could ,hardly be required. But in glancing at thia tnvisi, it waa impassible not to feel'great satisfaction. while cone ient)Aating the very differeut situation in which the country good at dit . i present moment, from that in which it stood when Cetertottere forthe renewal of which he was about to move; heed leein originally appointed.

Trade being thus brought to sounder pnnciples than those on which it had formerly been Conducted, would be like ly to continue to improve. They had been told that by thenew law for, regulating our navigation, the ;trade with Norway would be utterly destroyedesand that otthe North Ainerieen Colonies totally cut up by the roots, The accounts which he had reeeived with respect to Norway, infsermed him that the trade had increasedly the course of the ittsetwo years,- and such bud been the improvement in the situation of the parties en gaged in it, that many of those 'debts which had at one time been thought desperate, were now likely to be recovered, while the North American trade was not only uninjured, butr had experienced a very considerableinereate. The Conineittee, on looking to the great question respecting an open trade to the East Indies, had given an ,opinion in concurrence - with another Committee whose enquiries had been directed to that subjett, that the opening of the trade would be highly beneficial to the British merchant. He was sorry the advantages Which the ex pression of that opinion had as yet procured, were not so great as might have been expected ; some, however, had been gaMed. English ships had been put on the same footing as foreign ships. Other advantages, he was of opinion, might be afforded in con currence with the Reports ofthe two Committees. This, how. ever, did not - depend altogether upon Parliament. They could not compel the concessions they might desire, for on r.o ac count could they think of violating the faith which had been pledged to the Last India Company, They were bound by an Act of Parliament to continue to that Company for a limited period certain privileges, and the compact which had been made could not be infringed. ,All they could do was to hope :that those with whom,. it rested to consider how far those conceresions, which were sought might be made without de triment to their own interest, would give the recommen dation of the Committees their best and most liberal atten tion. The last subject of inquiry connected with the trade of this country related to the charges heretofore imposed on foreign ships entering our ports. lie was glad that the re. commendation of the Committee in that respect had been at tended to. In consequence of the diminished charge, several foreign ships heel put into our ports during the late tempests, and had been sheltered from danger. He was. sure that it would be felt if anrof these ships had been saved by that cir cumstance,' that it but oneship which woeld have perished, nay, if' but one life had been saved, he was sure it would be felt that the labours of the Committee had been amply repaid. The advantage's which he had enumerated as consequent on the exertions of the Committee were valuable, but not more so than the declarations which they had called forth on the sub ject of a free trade, and the oposition which it had generated to the Old restrictive system. Henceforth our commerce would be conducted on more liberal and consistent principles,--on principles favourable to the general intercourse of all nations, which could not prove other than beneficial to .ourselves.-- The course adopted by this country was working well on Fo. reign Nations. It would induce them to consider of acting on a more liberal system. In many countries, English ships were already placed on the same footing as native ships, and this was the principle which it ought to be our policy to en courage, and he doubted not that before a long time should have passed away a complete reciprocity would be established between England and all the countries to which her navigation extended. He believed that our commercial laws might be still further relaxed with safety, and this he should not hesitate to 'recommend to the Committee. The difficulties with which they had had to contend were numerous and formidable, but every step which they now took would bring them towards a freer and a better system of trade. He felt that the manufac turers of this country must be protected. No man could be more feelingly alive than he was to their true interests.— Those interests which had grown tip under the unfortun a t e system which had prevailed were entitled to protection.— But when the subject came to be discussed, lie trusted that real dangers, and real injuries, would alone be looked at; and , that vain alarms and groundless apprehensions would not mislead them. He hoped the House would recollect the un founded feats end the clainieurs which had prevailed' n former occasions, and that they would firmly do their duty by the great conunereial interests of the country,—lnterests, the pre. servatioo of which concerned every member of the community: contluded by moving foe the appointment of a Select Committee to consider of the means of extending and improv ing the Foreign Trade of the Country, and to report their opi ' nions and observations thereon from time to time to the House. Mr. RARING expected much from the labour and intelli gence of the Committee proposed to be re-appointed, and still more from the efforts of the Right lion. Gentleman (Mr. Wal lace) who had brought forward this motion. The merits of the Committee and of the Right Hun. Gentleman were so highly appreciated by the Merchants of London, that he could not help taking tide opportunity of expressing his admiration of their conduct. The !sheltie of the Board of Trade had been great, but these had been more than equalled by those of the Com. mitres of the Right Hon. Gentleman. Air. RICARDO, was hippy to offer his testimony in appro bation of the Committee, and of the conduct of' the Right Hon. Gentleman in that Committee. Had that Right lion. Gentle man been enabled to carry all hie plans into effect, it would have been better for the trade of the country. He had been prevented from doing this by particular obstacles, but he (Me. Ricardo) hoped the Right Bon. Gentleman would perse vere and' finally overcome the difficulties which at present stood in his way. He was of opinion with the Right Holt. Oentleinan, that these interests, which would be materially affected by a change of system, ought to be tenderly dealt with ; but at the same time they ought not' to be allowed to stand in the way of the projected improvement. When a bridge was to be built, many persons were interested in °ppm big its erection. Individuals who owned boats, or were other. wise employed from the absence of a bridge, would naturally be opposed to a project for making one. 'But because such interests would be affected, was that a reason why, in a great and popu. lous country, such an improvement should not be proceeded with . . In such cases it was better to grant a compensation to the sufferers than to give up the plan ; and so in those cases which might shortly conic under the consideration 9f Parlia ment, and which would he entitled to their best attention, it. might be wiser to allow compensation to the sufferers than to cramp on their account the commerce of the count r y : lie had heard with much satisfaction the statement made with respect to rite Increasing exports. 'rho Right Hon. Gentleman had hardly done justice to the improvement which had taken place in our situation. He had said that the exports of the piesent year had exceeded those of the year of our greatest prosperity during the war. But it was to be remembered that at that time the country had to sustain a large foreign expenditure, and hiany . commodities were sent out teethe country to pay the expencee incurred abroad. This accounted for the extent of vex exports - then, but such was at present no longer the case, .amt now lie merchandise left the country which was not ex.i eveet to produce a valuzibleeeturn. It was satisfactory, amidst the misfortunes complained of' by the agriculture' body, which no man could lament -niore sificerely than lie 'did, that' we could thus turn for consolation to the flourishing state of our commerce. - Mr:BUTTERWORTH spoke in so low a tone that he was nearly inaudible in the gallery. He was unde rstoo d to o ff er hi s testimony in approbation of the conduct of the Right Hon. fienaiman (Mr. Wallace), and to express satisfaCtion at the result of the labours of the Committee. ;qr. THOMAS WILSON spoke also to the ability display ed by the Right Ifon. Gentleman, which was generally ac knowledged by the 11101.k:hints in the City. Franc might be peculiarly grateful front them, rai the Right Bon. Gentleman w.is aware that on several points some of them were not agreed with hinitta to principle: 'f3ilt though sonic differences of opi niers had existed, and still remained - ' there was none as to the Ability and intelligence of the Right Hon. Gentleman. Ir. n(mE rose merely to express his deep regret that the con nay was likely" to lose the service of the Right lion. Gentle man tAli, Wallace) who for the last two or three years had de.. voted his 'attention so ,beneficially to ,the public. It' Ministera had had the interest of the nation as much at heart as making a provision for their friend:;, they would have contrived in some Way to hive secured the assistance of the Vice-Preaident of the .Board of Trade. It had most fortunately of late become the general opinion, that the interest of the State was involved in . tile interest of individuals, and the labours of the Right Hon. Geode - than had been applied to carry this principle into Met. It was, therefore, most deeply to be lamented; that he was compelled by cinumstatices to r tire from his situation. r. CANNING cordially agreed in ;. hat had just fallen from the lion.. Member for Aberdeen : . he regretted us much as any man that r.ny circummances had occurred to induce his Right Hon. Fri E:iiii-(711r. 'Wallace) to withdraw his aid from his jsity'4 IjOvantnent.

Thpugh feelings of delicacy and some private matters might induce his night Hon.

Mr. SPRING RICE rose to allude to a subject of great delicacy, and to ask his Majesty'S Ministers what course they, intended to pursue . with regard to it. As long ago as 1814, the lion. Member for Waterford had procured an Address to the Throne, to eb:ein an inquiry into the conduct - of CoUrts of Justice in Ireland; and few e lleports had ever been to that House more honourable to most of the indiiiduals concerned than what this inquiry produced,: In the Report, however, presented -in April,-1812, the Lord Chief-Baron of had been reflected on. Indeed, charges had been brought against him a extortion M the execution of his duty. He had taken fees from suitors that were not due—he had taken more ' than was due—and he had 'taken them at - a time when they were not due. On bringing the subject before the House in .Jtine, 1821, the Noble Mar qu i s , t h en t h e organ of Govern ! meat in that House, had requested the proceedings should be suspended till further information was procured, and he had himself moved for, and obtained the appointment of, a Select Committee. ThaVCommittee had reported, that the vindie4—, 'tion of the Chief Baron was on some points not satisfactory; and that on others more information was. required. The Noble Marquess had pledged himself to refer the . matter to the com petent authority in Ireland. The report 'had been referred to the Lord Chief Baron, and a ktter from him lay on their table. He bud pleaded not guilty, and th e matter was t h us at issue On a subject of 4;0 much importance and delicacy, it was the duty of Government not to be neuter; if the Judge were inno cent, it was bound to defend an d support hi m ; b ut, , on the other hand, if guilty, it was their duty to vindicate the admi nistration of justice. Either the Commission had been calum niators, or the Chief . Baron was unfit for his station ; and to it was the d u ty m of the Governeut to come not throw it en individuel. The Irish Go- forward,decide th d thr, n vernmenehad recently performed a duty in purifying the sub ordinate Magistracy of Ireland ; and it was not to be expect ed, therefore . , that they should anew the superior. Ma g i s t ra t es to escape with impunity when accused of such grave charges. Helooked on this purification se valuable, ,not so much for the actual good It had done as for the,ad m i ss i on o f a p r i nc i p l e ; but they could not st r ik e out cannot Justices, and allow a greater criminal to escape. The Commission of legal inquiry for Ireland hail cost the country 100,0001. and if ,any good was to result from their labours, it was the duty of Government to act on their Report. The Hon. Member said lie wished not to protect himself by palling on the Government to take up the bu siness, to 'pnitect himself from the pledge he had given last Ses sion ; but lie conceived that it was a part of their duty to take the subject into their hands. After apologising to the ROuse for troubling them, he concluded by moving for Copies of all thecorrespondeoce which had passed between Government, the Chief Baum O'Grady, and .the C om mi ss i on o f legal Inquiry, Since the first of June last, relative to this subject. Mr. GOULBURN said, it was not necessary to offer many observations on what had fallen from the Honourable Gentle- MA. The Douse must feel the propriety of the course the Go.' vernment had' adopted. The Honourable Gentleman, in referring to the Noble Marquess, seemed to suppose, that be cause he had m ove d f or more i n f ormat i on concerning sotne, parts of this subject, that it had taken the whole matteron itself.. From the recollection he had of the course of proceed ings, and he-spoke only from recollection, without having any • papers to refer to, it was this :—the Honourable Gentleman, in the execution of his duty, had brought 'forward an accusation against Chief Baron O'Grady, and the Noble Lord (London. derry) had proposed a Committee to inquire into the mutter.— It was not, however, with any view to pronounce on these charges, for that would have been a great injustice to an indi vidual, and a great violation of a public principle. Government. has the power to appoint and to displece the Justices ; but though it also appoints the Judges, they cannot be removed at' pleasure. It would beprejudicial to justice the individuals of the Ministry to bring forward in this House charges against individuals. The House might have to act judicially, and he was sure every Gentleman, when he came to faith this duty, of whatever side of the house he might be, would act without regard to any other motive whatever than the justice of the case. The Honourable' Gentleman - had before moved for papers concerning, this business ; he. had just, now moved . for more to establish his charges, and it was. not tbr the Government to step between him and substantiating them. The matter could not be in better bands than in those of the lion. Gentle man, and it could tot be expected that the Government should take it into theirs. Mr. ABLRCROMBY, under the peculiar circumstances of the case, thought Ministers ought to interfere, and, at an early stage of the proceedings he had told his lion. Friend that he had better leave it to the Government. If the Government thought they ought not to interfere, ,it was extraordinary that the Noble Marquis should have moved for the appointment of a Select Committee on the subject, and named the persons who were to form that Committee. This certainly did not preclude the reasonable expectation that the Government would see jus. tire done between the Chief Baron and the people of Ireland. It was the duty of the Government to protect the King's sub jects from injury, a nd what greaterinjury could befal them than to have a Judge continued, in the administration of jus tice, who was deemed unfit to hold such a situation ? Was it not an abandonment of the duty which Government owed to the people to act such a p a rt ? He 'did not see how any admi nistration could resist ,a call like that which had now be en made on his Majesty's Musters, and if his Hon. Friend would take his f advice, he would proCeed no further, and then they should see in what manner the Chief Baron would be dealt with by the Government. Mr. Secretary PEEf., said, the question before the House was, whether or not his Majesty's Ministers ought to take that case out of the hands of the lion. Member fur Limerick,. which be had originated in 1021, which he had continued in 182 4 , and which he had followed up and down to that very hour, by moving for additional documents to establish the chtttireB. The question now was, whether that task should . be transferred to the Government, which th e Honourable Gentleman had undertaken to perform. , The case had been grated as if the Government were disposed to abandon their duty to throw it Qn the lion. Gentleman. lie would- answer this by referring to the lion. Gentleman's own statement of what had generally been the conduct of Ministers. He had said they Were eager to carry into effect all the reforms recomtnentled by the Com missioners, and had only neglected their reetintniendation in this single case. Might he not then avail himself of tins admission, and ask if a strong presumption did not theece arise that they would not have aved thus had they not thought it their duty to leave it in the hands of the lion. *Umber. He then described the course of the proceptlings whirls bad teen originated by the Hon. Gentleman in 1021, a nd argue d that the Marquis of Lon donderry, ifbe had moved for the appointment of a ComMittee to inquire•into the subject, had pot meant by so doing to take the. me into the hands of Government. It was for the House to consider what lineuf conduct would be most likely to promote the ends of justice. He most soleinnly declared that, in his judgment;the fittest course would be to leave it in the hands* of the Hon. Gentleman.. lie should be ready at . the proper time to state his view offhe ease, for he had thought it his 'duty to give as much attention to it as if it had actually been taken up by the Government but he repeated it was his sincere con victim that by leaving it where it was they were moat likely to arrive at that conclusion which would be moat conformable to the ends of justice. . _ Mr. CH . ARLES GRANT briefly described the course which had been taken in former Sessions with r,iference to this question, and could not conceive that his Noble Friend (the Marquis. of Londonderry) in moving for a Select Committee, had intended to take the case out of the hands of the Hon. Member for Limerick. Mr: C. W. WYNN described the object of the late Mar quis of , Londonderry in moving for the, appointment of a ,Select Conintittee to have been merely to afford the llouws an opportunity of seeing at one view the charges, the evidence on which they - rested,' and the answers given to the charges by the Chief Baron. 'The Report of the Committee stated, that in somainstances the answers given by the Chief Baron were not satisfactory, and that in others they required explanation. The natural course under such circumstances on n charge, pre:. ferred against a Public F u nctionary in th e country would have been for the House to proceed by its own authority, or by that to call witnesses, in order to chrar up that which was,dotibtful. But the witnesses necessary on dill occasion being in Ireland, and unable to attend here without, very treat inconvenience, it was thought infinitely the best way to Imo the evitlencere, quired to be obniined fur the House by the - CutOrnumioners in Ireland. The Committee had therefore reported_ on the points on which further information was _necessary. Evidence had been collected, on this the Chief Baron had now, an opportu. tunity to remark, and so the case stood as i t did w h en fli s t brought forward by the Hon. Gentleman, with thi s &fra me, that they now possessed that information which it wanted then. The question now was, whether the case had better be taken Up by the Government, or pursued by the individual who had brought it forward on his own responsibility. He thought past experience was in favour of the former course, and therefore preferred the l a t ter , b e ing convinced that the case co uld not b e in safer hands than in those of his Hon. Friend. Mr. S. RICE briefly replied, and maintained that. he had always treated thi s case as one which ought to be tak en u p b y the Government,.....Th e question was then pet and Carried. Mr. HUME sail e° as T t C ht i st C at i i: E o l t l.9 tlY; Clergy of Scotland would come before the House in the course of the Session, he would only now describe the Papers for which he proposal to calL 'He had worded his motion so as to include the whole of the Claw of Scotland. These, in number about nine lointired and forty, he would dirlde into four Classes, and it was his object to gain th e avera ge amount of: their stipends, exclud , . big the naxiintim and the 'minimum. lie WAS AWAIT that he might have a separate account of the income of each indivi dual Clergyman, but. his motion would be confined to an ab stract return, dividing them into classes. The Clergymen of the Church of Scothind were allowed a h ouse an d wove . niencies, with a small. glebe,. conFistjug of two or three acres of land; but he robed tOhave an 'estimate of the annual value of their stipends, exclusive of the house, o ffi ces, and glebe. In the year 1750, %turns had been m ade of the ex penditure of the ;Church of Scotland, land if those accounts were now - in existence there- •wauld be little difficulty arise from his motion. He wished to have a return of the stipcuds of the Church in the year 1750, and an avera ge of their present amount. taken -upon'the-last. three years. To accomplish this, he should first move for a return of the ,number of parishes in Scotland, and the Churches therein ; the number of Ministers belonging to them, and of the ding:rent Chapels of Ease. By this it would be seen that the Church of Scotland had a resident Clergy, 'whereas, that of- the Church of England was los the most part non-resident. The Hon. Member then submitted the motion 'which he had described. • • - Mr., Secretary PEEL expressed his opinion that the object of the Lion. Member would be fully acquired by the motion he had submitted the day - before. Re wished to give lihn every inforination, but he saw a necessity for .some inquiries - to be made-hefore the present motion should be ;greed to. It must first be ascertained whether the returns of 17.10 were in exiit end!, and as to what were the means of acquiring information as to the present value of livings. Mr. HUME was surprised to hoar such ignorance, pleaded by any one connected with Scotland. There was the - office of the Clerk of the Tiends, to whom he had taken the trouble to writ; where all such information could be obtained. • Mr. Secretary PEEL complained that the Hon. Gentleman had given a notice differing widely from his motion, and then made the most extraordinary accusation of. ignorance against hint, that he was not prepared to give juror:oat:on upon a sub ject which be had not heard of before. • Mr. HUME ilesired that the notice and the motion should be read. Sir G. CLEMfi said it wonld tie desirable that the motion should be withdrawn until some inquiry had • taken place. The augmentations since the year 1750 would render it difficult to obtain the Returns without, in many cases, applying to the Clergy themselves . The Honourable , Member 'might 'postTione the subject until there had been time to inquire of the Clerk of the Tiends as to the information which could be obtained in that °like. Mr HUMF cantended that his notice and motion were the same, only that the Latter was more detailed. He saw no rie cessity for delay, but he would wait the pleasure of these Gen tlemen, and bring forward the subject upon another oceasion. Motion withdrawn. - NEW WRITS .

A New Writ was also ordered for a Burgesi to serve in Par. 'lament for the Borough of Winchester, is the room of Lucius Concannon, Esq.,' ileceased. COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY. Upon the motion that the SPCANS It should leave the Chair. and the House go into a Committe‘t to consider the Supplies of the Year, Mr. HUME rose and said, that before the Speaker left the Chair, it was his intention to adopt the consti‘utionul mode of laying a few words upon what he considered to he the faults Of the Government, before the House proceeded to Arent the Supplies. The Speech of his 141ajeety, which he museum eider to be that of his Ministers, promised the etricreet economy, but, unfortunately, that had always been the case 'without being justified by results. It was from experience only that they could judge of what they were to expect; and he should there. fore refer to what had been said, and subsenuently done, upon former occasions. In 1817, when a Committee wss appointed for the purpose of enforcing economy and retrenchment, and which had been spoken of in sitch high terms by it Noble Mar. quis, 'now no more, the estimates: were given at 13.951,0110/. but the actual expenditure of the yetel amounted to 14,920,000/. an increase of nearly a million. In 11318, the Estimates eunounted to upwards of fourteen millions. the actual expendi ture to 1 5 ,155,000/., being an increase again of nearly one mil lion. This, too, was utter the declaration of the Committee, that there was to be a progressive reduction of expenditure ' from the year 1817. Unfortunately up to :last year it had been l a progressive increase. Such was the manner in which the House had been seduced by fair words from' year to year, and when they came to look at the results, they found that more taxes had been raised more had been taken out of t he po c ket s of the peopl e i n the present year than in any one during the last seven. He therefore hoped that the House would not look to these sweet and honeyed words, but to the actual results by which they tad bean folloWed. The same profeseions of eco nomy, even to the language had gone through every speech of his Majesty's for the last twenty years ; the House would therefore know what trust was to be Plate'-'d upon than n'e, Ile had put d own t hi s 'e tatem e nt u p on p a p e r, to eliew that t general tunounteer the estimates and expenditure had increased from 1817 down to 1823.

Lord Chat ham was of a different opini on , as he thought it was use ful. But the Commissioners agreed with the former. If those Commis sinners declared that it was not necessary in 1311, in a time of peace, he would ask the House, he.would ask the Country, he ,would eask the Minister*, themselves, how they could maintain it now in time of peace. He did not wish to throw out any disparagement to the services of Lord ieercsford. Let them be called ever so great and be would agree wet t but thane services had not . gone unrewarded, great as t h ey m i ght have been.

He should !Thew upon some future Occasion diet they were receiving 'from the public property of the Church of Irelendethousande'and tens of thou sand e. At present it was s u ffi c i ent t h at h e.s h ould call upon the House to ask the Ministers why they had filled up this useless office iii time of peace, and not to grant the'sopplies until that ;question Was satllcto . rily answered.

No one could suppose that there was an k Li; of Parliementary influence in wishing to appoint the rte these Noble and Gallant Lonis.
