Mr. SHERIDAN postponed his motion respect ing Mr. Fitzpatrick, to Monday. --There -A-as -aim) a notice which it was his'svish and desire to giVe, and perhaps he might be allowed to express his surprise that he was thefirst to tall the attention of the House to the subject, respecting the com munication received from the Emperor Napoleon, dated the 17th of April. '.That'Whieh formed the substance of that communication, lie considered to -be a Most insidious, perfidious, -and insulting proposition. He had no right to suppose that the' e&rresnondence had ended there, but he thought it was . nOw a Arty, - after what 'had been'published by FranCe, which fiat House owed to themselve4; to the COuntzy; and even to tke Government it self, to call for the Correspondence which had' taken ..Place. • -He had nothing to say 'against the answer which had -been returned ;—to" him it appeared; that it had been given wisely, rightly, and with such dignity and spirit as be eame the English Government; kvas due to our Allies, and called for by the best interests of the country. He wished to give notice of a motion On this subject for Monday 'Lord CASTLEREAGH was happy the conduct of Government appeared to theßight'HodOurable . _Gcntleinan t 4) entitle them 'to - thepraises which• 14e,had 'bestowed. He had no-difficulty in saying, that no , communication . from France had- been received in. 'll4ii,rer to his' letter. The- -House *gold see that Government cuidd not, withl)-ro priety, communicate to Par)iarnont the.:.coms pondence which had taken..ialace-at-'ar 3 / 4 - - earlier period. They - had not thought 7it proper-hal-04y `to consider - the correspondence as closed j- arid' had, tiller efore ,- wished to Ife4vt it op en as long as possible to the French - Goverament to offer any reply . thatit, niight have -to Make., had no objection to the Motion of the flight ll9nontable Gentleman. .• . . _ . The notice,was.then fixed foe Monday. The - Con.sOlidated Fund Bill was read a third time, ind'passed. . An engrOsied Bill from the 'Lords,'• entitled, " An Act to facilitate the Administration of. Ju stice," was brought up. On the question that it be read a first time, Sir S. 'Rout - LTA did not know whether or not' . it was the intention of. Government to gut 'this, measure through the . How in the present Ses- - &on, but if such wai= their intention, he should take the'earlicst opportunity - of opposing it. This was a Bill to relievc,the :Lord Ch&icellor from a iortion of the duties of his 'office, leaving him in Possession of the whole of its emoluments. He objected to foe Bill for a variety of reasons, and thought it would not be found ultimately to an-' swer the purpose for which it had been framed. Lord CASTLEREAGII defended' the Bill, and thought it desirahle,that it should pass in-the pre- . sent Session. He wished the Bill to be read a .first time and to be printed, after which some day is the next week:could be appointed for its second rtading: With, espect to what 'the Honourable Gentleman-had said on the .subject - of the Lord Cia.nr.ellor being in part removed from his tact, vkt retaininto- its emoluments, he could haVe wt th , :tt 'Cie had suspended his judgment till the BM had gained that stake in n-hich the Lord Cfaancellor's disposition to submit the emoluments tit his. office to regulation, could be made known. /.._ it ww3 not quite fair to anticipate that no such fegutet wt as _en be made.,- because it did not appear in ,the iiil, as it was .t necessary to' fuly t, ; at such a' provision could, not be made in, the D. her tiou.se. Mr. BANKES and Mr.. Antßcpomßui zprike igainst sacji a'Bill being broiight in so late in he Session. -- • AIr.CREEVEY objected-to the intrOdnction of the Bill at this late period, of the and.rtmyzl a: an amendment; ‘‘ That it bz read a first-time t its day thlee months.", Mr. KEN4LCK, adverting to what had tfalreh front the Honourable and Learned. Gentleman, observed that the Bill would not divest the Chan cellor of any part of his duty, and-from the variety of considerations whieh it embraCtd, could not have been introduced, sooner. • Sir SAMUEL., ItoMILLY adulated that the till - would nut divest the Chancellor of -any of his official duties, but notwithstanding he . might Zivest.himself of them. After a few obsemations from Mr. W. SMITH, who concurred in objecting to the Bill being in troduced so late in the Session, Mr. Samow was surprised, that those who oh . , jected i to the Bill, should cli , sent to its farebrr prOgress, in order. that its merits might be fairly dirielissecl. . .. . Mr. BAszKts agreed with the last Speaker, that - discussion Ought to take place. He hoped -the Hon. Member would withdraw his amendment. Sir GEO. WARRENDER was not for pressing it through this Sebsion.. Mr. MACDONALD sagge=ted to the Noble - Lord not to press it. Lord - CASTLERENGH intended' to ,propose the discussion of the Bill. • , Mr. TIERNEY wished the sense of the House to be taken upon the expediency, of pressing a Bill of this importance at this late period of the Sessidn. Mr. CREEVEY pressed- his amendment to a di vision. The Gallery was cleared for a diAision, but the House did not divide: The Bill• was read a first time, ordered to be read -a second time, on Tnesdday, and to be printed:" ' The . other Orders' were digposed of, and the House adjourned at halflyz.tt one o'clock this Morning.
