IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE' OF PEERS. MONDAY, JILN. 2g. CriCUMI were heard itt continuation relative to the Scots Appeal, Smith w. Yelton and others, (viz. HottllEß, at some length, as second Counsel, for the APpellants; and Mr. ADAM. in pot. as leading Coonlel, for the Respondents. Their L9rdships ail; urned the farther consideration of the rase till tO-rnotroW. MR. IUSTICF. FOX. Pendia! the Appeal Cause, The Marquis of Mir itCORVI moved, that the Order for their Lordships' going into a Committee upon the Matters alledged against Mr. JUstiee Fox, and the Papers and Documents respecting the same, ,on the 7th olFeb. be discharged. This the Noble Marquis generally stated, he was principally induced to do by the consideration of the great distance many of the witnesses who were meant to be brought for. " ward,. on the occasion, had necessarily to travel sots from remote parts of Ireland, sod to whom it wotild be impradicable to arrive in due time, in reference to the day at first appointed for the Corn meneernent •of the investigation. Under this imn. Isrestilon., and with a view ,to the circumstances of the- case,- he should propose that a similar Order be. made for the 181 h of February, which hi, Lord. ship termed to think the earliest pranicable This proposition meeting the concurrence of their' Lordships, the Order, as above, was forthwith discharged, and renewed for the 18th of next month. On the Motion of the Noble Marquis, farther Orders were made by the House :—the first, that a Message he sent to the Commons, desiring the per. mission of that 1-louse to, four of its Members, namely, Sir . Titorans FsectssavroNe, Bart. the Honourable Cra,LßßisiTH Low COLA, Sir JAMES STEWART, Batt. and MERVIN ARCIIDAkE, to attend their Lordships' Committee on the 18th of February next. Also Orders for the attendance Of divers Witnesses from the County of Fermanagh, &c. in Ireland. The Lo/ku CHANctt.t.na, notified to their Lordships the circumstances of His Majety's Judges having been ordered to attend, in reference tq pending Appeal from Ireland, which princi. pally respated a question of /Thalia, on is parti. cular day ; and that, in case it should not be prac. ticable to the Judges to attend that day, lie should move to postpone the consideration of the Case to a future day. The omits - of the parties in the cause were nut mentioned by the Noble and Learno' Lord, MILITARY LEVIES. Tire V.3ll`llr CAMDeN preStWeil, is pursuance of a recent Address , of their Lordships, Accowits of the number of Mtn raised under the Provisions of the Additional Force Aft passed last Session. The Accounts were ordered to lie on the table, and, on the Motion of his Lordship, to be printed. The Erre/ of DeIkNLIfY (in consequence pi whose Motion the Accounts were, produced) pro. fooled his intention , to bring forward a Motion upon the subject on Monday. however, he conceived same farther information Wds necessary to its due elucidation ; he, therefore, meant to move for an Account, specifying the Oudoers which were raised under the Provisions of the AO, through the me. ' diurn of the Parish Olken, as distinct from ;hose who were raised by the ordinary means of levy.— .. This specilleation, he thought, would tend to chew, that some of the arguments formerly used by those who opposed the Bill, were, at least, not without tom: foundation. He wished to know the senti. men's of the Noble Secretary, with respctt to the prop 5.d Additional Accounts, which Would lalu. once hho as to the time when he should make the Earl of CAMDEN observed, he saw no cb'ydion to the Accounts being produced, which lti 'N' o b:ri Friend adverted to ; but, with resped to t! , , p lay oi;on which the. intended proposition rtin.nid he diicuro.a,.the same facility, in his mind; chit not , oern to ol.tain, Tbere were, on the other 11.01, other P.spees and Aceoonts,which, lie thought, were neceikaty to he woilureti, and rA.belt i t m a y po; bc, praetieable to get ready in due time before She day alluded ; besides, there was a diStlliSiOil of griyt imprtance pending ; and which, perhaps, circumstance's may render it necessary to have post. potted. lie had rat!Jer his 11 , ible Friend would fix opon anal her thy; by pleribie contingency, that mentioned ,night interfere with the important discussion to which he alluded as pending. Tha End If DARNLEY explained, and ex. tressed ['tinsel! as desirous that no proposition Corn , ink; front hint should stand in the way of any (dirt business of more ittipomince, as alluthzd to by his niend, which their Lordship might nave to discuss. However, as the thing stood, he did s4ot see whit well-grounded objeCtion could be oft ,:red to summoning their I.,nrdsliips fur the Kt. Vice of than Houee on Monday next. lie re. pealed some of his former observations relative to the inefficacy-of parts of the Mt in question ; and concluded by framing a Motion for producing the farther Accounts, as, above described; which, after f,..w words frOm Earl PAreortr, was p9t,arld or dered aecoclielly.

ARMY ESTIMATES. The SECRETARY to WAR brought up the Army Estimales, and gave notice, that on Mon. day next he would bring that subjett before the House. There were two Paper's, he said, that were not among those presented, relative to the Volunteers sad the , Barrack Department, but they would be ready and presented before Mon. day. He was aware, he said, that Monday had been fixed on by an Hon. Gentleman on the other side the House, for a Motion he intended to bring forward ; but that lion. Gentleman, well aware of the exigence and importance of the public service, had agreed to postpone his Motion to some future day, and had, at his request, acceded to him Mon. day next, for the purpose he had mentioned.—Or. dered mite on the table. Mr. CALCRATT wished the Hon. Secretary to inform him, whether he did not mean the Papers now on the table, should he printed ? The SECRETARY at WAR said, he wished the House to have every pasible information on the subjeft, that would not he produftive of delay; or might prevent his bringing forward the business on Monday. He thought Gentlemen might take ab. strafts, which would be of equal use to them. Mr. C ALC R AFT could by no means agree, that Abst teas would be auficientirt Accounts of such itn. potrance ; nor did he conceive the Members of that House should be put to so mu ch trouble. He Should, therefore, think it his dtity to press for the printing. The Papers were accordingly ordered to be printed. MIDDLESEX ELECTION. Mr. CREEVEY brought up a Petition from cer. thin Freeholders in the County. of Middlesex, scat. ing, that at the late Eleftion for Middlesex there were two Candidates, vit. Sir F. BURDETT, and G. B. MAINWALING, Esq. That before the proceed. ings were entered upon, the qualifications neces. sary by Aft of Parliament, of a Landed Estate of 6001. a year, was positiVely demanded by the Agents and Counsel of Sir F. BUR oETT, and the Freehol. tiers in his Interest ; and that he, the said G. B. MAINWARING, should verify the same on Oath, according to the tenor of the said Aft.; that the said G. B. Marttwastruc, in answer to this demand, had tutted, that tile said Aft of Parliament did not apply to him, and that he had no need to ?roduce particular qualification, lie being the eldest son and heir apparent of WM. MAINWARINO, Etc. a Gen. tleman who had repeatedly been the Representative for the said County of .Middlesex ; and that he,. being doubtleaa possessed of such necessary qualifi. cation as required, rendered it unnecessary for his heir apparent to produce a particular qualification. The Petitioners then proceed to state, that 11 . ,e said G. B. MAINWARING is Out the eldest son of the said WM. IVIAINWARINO, and therefore, the said qualification, as such, can be of no avail; and that the said G. li. 11441124 W ARANO, having no Estate of his own, of the value of fool. a year, he was not eligible to serve in Parliament, as Knight of the said Shire. They pray, therefore, that .the name of the said GEO. BoULTON Matsiwaitrsc, who has been returned by the Sheriffs, as the sir. ring Member, may be struck nut of the raid return, and that the name of Sir F. BURDETT may be in. tested in its stead, Tire Petition having been read by the Clerk, Mr. CREIVEY moved, that the same he taken into consideration on the 18th of February next. Lord H. PETTY said, he had, on a former night, moved for an Account of all Exports to Spanilh Ports ; and he had omitted to say, " to specify the Ports, and the number of Export; to each." ' wished therefore to carat his Motion. The SPEAKEK said, that in such cases the usual anti regular way was to make a new Motion on the subject. LOrd 11. Per ry matted accordingly, " That there be laid before the House an Account of all Exports to t he Potts of Spain, during the years iBo3 and 1804, specifying the wings of the Ports, and the nurrlUer of Exports sent to each." Ordered. INSOLVENT DEBTORS. The Insolvent Debtors' Amending Bill was corn. mitied—read a third time and passed; and returned to the Lords by Mr. Ar.sxAtspatt. Mr. ALIIXANDita brought up the Land and Malt Bill, and the Hill for continuing the Duties on Pen. sinne, Tobacco, Snuff, &c. which were severally read a first, and ordered to be read a second time to. morrow. A Message from the Lords informed the House, that their Lordships requested the House would 'give leave to Sir T. Featherstone, tart. the Ho. nourabie Galbraith Lowry Cole, Sir James Stewart, Barr. and Mervin Archdale, Esq• to attend the Lords, in order to he examined as 'Witnesses before the . Committec appointed to consider the matters idledged against Mr. Justice Fox, on the 14th of February next. The fitstMotion, therefore, he had to make, was, That thrre be laid before the House Copies or Extracts of all Letteri from the Minister of Spain to the. Minister of His Majesty, from the Ist of I lily, 11103, to the iath Sept. follow ing, and of all I nstruSions seat to hint by Ministers in con sequence thereof. Mr. GREY ,aid, it appeared by the Correspond. ence that Mr. Frere had made a very strung re. monstrance against the Measures of the Spanish Government, in facilitating the passage of n con. siderable hotly of Mariners and Artillerymen de. stined to reinforce the French Fleet at Ferrol ; to this Note there was no answer in the Correspond. ence. He supposed, however, some notice must have been taken of it, and if them had, be thought, the House should be in possession of it. His next Motion, ,therefore, would he, That there be laid before the House Copies or Extraas of any Answer to Mr. Frerc's Note of the yth September, tso3. His third Motion, he said, was, That there be laid before the House Copies or Extra* of all Dispatches trout the tath of September to the 30111 of De. ember 0103, respecting the advances of money by the Spanish Government to France. His next Motion was, That there be laid before the House a Copy or Extras of the Explanation referred to in Lord I lawkesbury's Dispatch of the aist.of lanuary £BO4, as to pecuniary advances made by Spain to France, and the instructions sent in consequence thereof. His next Motion was, That there be laid before the House a Copy or It xtraet of any Convention, Compet, or A.areerstent, made between His Maksty's Minister and the Minis t e r o f S p ain, retatiVe •to the eutrality to be observed by that Power. Mr. GitttY then mentioned that there was ano. ther long chasm in the Correspondence between Lord Hawkesbury and Mr. Frere, and that no die. patches appeared therein from the 31st Jan. 1804, to the zist of May following, the day on which his Lordship went nut. of office. There were also several intervals in Lard Harrowby's Correa. pondence, in which not a single dispatch appeared from the zzd of May to the' zgth of September ; and if, during that time, any had aaually wised, they ought undoubtedly to be laid before the House, on a subject of this importance. His next Motion would therefore be, artyDispatchestb he between laid Housefo t r . e m t t h l e u rro wh y C a o o p d ie N s i r o . r . the 2,0. of May to the ayth Sep tember, 0104. I.E.rextrrea,ag from There were a variety of other Papers, which he thought necessary to be produced, and 'his next Motion would be— That there be laid before the Hove Copies or Extraels of all Official Notes written by.the Spanish Minister to the Minister of His Majesty, relative to any disputes with Spain, from the folntnencernept of the War with France. His next Motion was — That there be laid before the House a Copy or Extrad of a Letter froth Admiral Cochrane to the Admiralty, relative to the Armaments carrying on in the Port of Ferrol. Also,, Copies of all Letters front Admiral Cochrane, re. speeling the, arming of the Spanish Ships, from Sept. at to to, 1844. lie then moved. That there be laid before the House an Account of the Pro. visions, Naval Mores, Asc. furnished by the Spanish Govern ment to the : ;tieliotcon;; of Sir Edward Pellewand Admiral Cochrane, from the Ports of Ferrol and Comma, front the comincoce%wot of the War with France to the time of the Ruptyre. •Mt.

The C HANG b,LLti R. of the EXC . V.. 73 said, he should he extremely tins born tiie House and the Peblic should be in cotnelett p ,session of every ,possible de l ete of tniormation that, consist. entiy with the safety of the public service, could be given on a subject of so highly interesting and ins. plrtant a nature as that to which these Papers re. Wed. He was, therefore, atter the communication which had passed between the Him. Gentleman who moved fur them and hititself, and from the cursory view he had been able to give the motions shew n to him, since he came into the House, extremely willing that the substance of the information con. lathed in the several Papers moved for, as had ac. tually been received, should be given. But, he said, among so great a variety, it was impossible fur him to say, that sucii information could be given in the. regular' way in which they were mentioned in the motions. Mr. GRAY expressed himself perfealy satisfied with having the substance of the information. The question on the first motion was 'then put and agreed to. The SPEAKER rhen proceeded to read the se. vend motions as they succeeded each other, ant put the question on each. Whet he came to that which mentioned '' copy or extract of any Con. ventiiaii,Compatt, or Agreement, topetting the Neu. trality of Spain ;" • - The CIIASCELLOg of the rose, and said, he was very willing the 5111)41,...ce oh every Paper, mentioned in the aevetat Muti Ins, that was now or had ever been in existence, should be laid before the House ; but, with twat to the present Motion, lie mutt beg leave to assure the House, that, however strange it might appear, yet the fan was so, that there h all never been any writing or instrument which could bear the alqA., lation of Convent ion,Compatt, Note, or Agreement, entered into between the two Parties. flow it had happened he could not pretend to say. H e supposed it might be, that the Spanish Ambassador might have used that word in reference to what was contained on that suhjeEt in Lord FlAwszataunr's Letter ; and our Charge.d'Affitires had, through in. Overtence, used the same term. Mr. FOX said, he had no doubt but that such a thing might happen as that Mr. Frere, or arty other person, might, through inadvertency, use a term just before spoken by another, if he thought it avail appicable to the subject ; hut he could not conceive how any one couhl, through inadvertence, use such a term, when speaking on a subjedt to which neither Note, Agreement, Curnpaa, or Convention, was at all to he applied. The CIiANCE4,4OR of the EXCREQ,CIER said, h o e coul dwhat l a o s ir r b e the tHe rme t th hat e c every t h t i o ng n, r a e h l a ti t i tr v e e . lilted 'to ithl the ne u tral i ty, tv teer h w e a eti satln wetting tting an y before the House. cognition whoever of neutrality; 'hilt merely a itaterneet of the grounds on which Hit Majest s would be tun torbearitnee AinuctL' Mr. 'PDX thought a great deal ,of rtl) 13 nO li " ought to be given on this subjea, mote than who. h4d yet appeared. Mr. GREY said, it was the more extraordinary that this term should have been used so often, when there was no such thing as a Convention r es p etting Neutrality. He then read a passage from one of Mr. Frefe3 letters, in which he expressly. says, " The Ships shall be put on the same footing as they were by the Convention with England." The several, other Motions wore Chu' put and agreed to. Mr. GREY said, that, as the Righ t Hon. Gen tleman had agreed to the produttion of these Par". it would be necessary he should name some other day for taking the subjeEt into consideration ; as they could scarcely be produced and printed so as that the discussion should come on as was now fixed ` for Thursday. the CHANCELLOR of thr EXCHEQUER agreised with the Hon. Gentleman, that some day after Thursday must be named for the discussion, as the Papers could scarcely be ready before that day. It could not, therefore, he thought come ° I this week ; he should, theretore, propose Wednes day or Thursday in the next week—he thought? Thursday; but, SS a Right Hun. Gentlema n o P P° ' site (Mr. WINDHAM) had already given u p Monday next, he begged he would say on what day after Thursday, he would bring forward his Motion.

Mr. GREY rose and said, that without the smallest intention or wish to anticipate any part of the general debate which is to take place on the important subject 9f the war -between Spain and this country, he was extremely glad to find, from the communication he had just received from the Right Honourable the Chaneellor of the Exchequer [Mr. Prey and Mr. Pitt had been in conversation tome considerable time, and Mr. Pitt read over the whole of the Motions], that the substance of all the information IT wished to receive, in come. quence of the Muttons he tutl now to submit tb the Houie, Would be granted, and therefore he should not ha'se occasion to take up much more of their time than barely to read them. lie had mentioned, on a former 'eight, that there were several chastni in the Correspondence which required to be filled up,' as they appeared to him to relate to a period in which the most important part of the Negotiation was carrying on. in the correspondence now before the House, there i no document whatever from the il4th of June to the month of September, 1803, during which interval', he thought, several Pipers, Or Written cominuniCations, roust have plaited ;' , and if any had passed, it was pfopet they should be laid ' '
