Neither did Lie mean to iiiipute to the Prince Regent's Ministers that they had neglected to do'what - the CirctiffislanCeS of the ttausactions alluded to call ed for on their part, or that they had .not made the requi-ite comninnications to the Government of the , United Statas. Bit he felt it his duty. to bring the subject before their Lordships, in order that a proper explanation might be given upon a cpiestiOn sO essentially involving +he interests of humanity and juStice, and he trusted he should hear•that the American Government_ had either disavoWed, or intended to disavow, the acts of baibaiity COuintitted. by 'General Jackson. His 1.91(1011p hi=re detailed shortly the circumstances of the invasio'i of the Floridaa'hy 'an American force under General jackson;• and ethe seizure, trial, and exectrion of Arbuthnot and Ambrister, all, which have been already published. The Noble Marquess strongly condemned the conduct of General da'ckson in putting to death these o ,and particularly in inflicting thatpn nishmcnt on Ambrister is oppos'e 1011 to the ben teoce of the Coma Mattial, which was for pu nisloreept of awinferior degree, in doing which, Jaclison acted in direct contradiction to the Pro , ' visions of an Act of Congress, Which for exciting povettsor tilires to con:unit hostilities neon the' Utlited States, only Oh& fed the punishment of fine and in ? prisonment. In both cases he contended thatAtie barbariey ol Jackson coOld ugly c:xcire hoe for 00 disgust, there being nothing it; the law of slat ious Which could in the least jUstiiy the putting - to death the two individaals.,alluded to, as there was no sufficient evidence against-either that he had tOmmitted- fitly act that rendered, hitn...ame-, nabie to punishment under any recognized provi -sioa o f the" Il'sl,f of. nations: And tiothitig cold be more dangerous titan to take away from the law of nations (if ..law of nations it could then be called) •all, the security derivable from known. and recognized pro Visions, to substitute the mere caprices of.individoals or of Gave; nments, With regard , olhe.cessinn of the Floridas by Spain to the United States since the transactions alluded to, lie felt it ioentahent upon him to make a few observations, Viewing' it as he dial as a question of the 'greatest importance to the interests of this , country. It surely might . have been expected, after all one expenditure in the war in which we had been engaged; and which now pressed so heavily upna the country, that we might have ac criied 'influence' entangli in Europe to prevent Spain feoin ceding a . part of her Colonies which was so important to the interests of this court try; or that are might have had influence enough with Spain herself, after all that we had d o ne f o r her, to prevent such a cession.. This, innvever, unhappily proved not to Ire the case, unless it was to be supposed that so important a question bachl beets altogether o s verlooked by our diplomatists at Vienna. The ,trainers of the Treaty of Utrecht, mirch as that Treaty ,had been . blamed, hail.' taken, care .to insert a provision prohibiting Spain' front ceding .any .part of her Colo -I,i,a to . another power ; but no steps. had been taken e.t the Congress of Vienna to re new this Treaty 'regard to the point! alluded to. It had indeed been asserted in another place, by` the Noble Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, that the Treaty of Utrecht, with respect ' to that"Cprestion, was renewed by the. Treaty of Sevi.le, in 1729, which latter Ticatv had become.l a part 'the' e'irdrtnon law. Of nations ; but it nn fortunateisehapp-ened for this assertion, that pc,e viail; to tate la-st Mentioned Treaty, the rioricks bad ;been ceded to this country, and therefore, this Colony, • which Was of .all others the most important with a.view to our interests, did not at • the period alluded to belong' to. Spain. • That no provision therefore was ' made at the Congress or Vienna to prevent such a cession, was the more deeply to be regretted, as it* waa..of all ' others w hi i t was most tc; be expected; Of the injuriotis conSequeuees'of sec!) a cession to the. interests of this county/ there could be no doubt, as in the event of our etobdrklng- in a new war with the United States, rbe whole trade of Otir West India Islands would be endangered. Gild-boats and sonsif craft might be' fitted nut from several ports iii Florida, and might - Sweep away the far greater part of our trading vessels from the ‘Vest India islands, but particularly from Jamaica. The pos ses,ion o f the Florblas also:worth! -give the 'lone ric-ans at) opporttoffly of connecting. themselves Governments In *the West Indies, in a manner that might prove essentially injurious to our 'interests. It was not now his intention to move for any papers respecting the cession of the Floridas, but wercly to call for explanatitru. speClitig the ttansactions.of the Amerlca!) force in the Floridas, he thonght it of dangerous conNe quence , hat acts or -barbarity 'like those already alluded to should Ue allowed to be committed tin- der the pretended sanction of the law of nations, and thatqt was of great.. importance to prevent the United States of America from resorting to a systemAci.decideAly ,atyariance with the institu tions of the. old world. Flis L;rdibiliioncluded by moving for the communications inetttidnes.lin the commencement of his speech. ' BATHURST aaid,. that with reSoect to the late ces'sion of the Vlaridas to the United States,, it was very. little, if at , all connected wi!lt the papers, actually moved f by' theN able iklaitittess . , and :that be li‘<ite very little to address to their Lo rdships on that head. It must,'he eon- Ceived. be a very "plain' 'prineiple to every one" of .their Lordships, that One independent nation could cede a part of its' territories - to another, witiinnt being resPfinsible 'to a third power for such a:rueas4,re, and tbat . no'system'cOuld be more dangerous to be adopted than to go 'about fiom one Government to another' in - the way of inter.- fetence %Olienevvi it shoOld be 'deemed expedient for one to transfer a part of its'leiriroritS;"to aity, 'Other I'ower,ann it shOtild be considered the the were not in the po, e ision•of Spain , at the. time of the cession. With re'sPect;-1-loivever, to the Main subject of the Noble Marrpies's motion,. and.a:t referred to,hy film on. the fir4t day of the Session, it should be .re't;oll ,, cied that what his \,-,able friend (the . l4_,ail' OrLiverpool)•bad then. stated. ,va: merely thkit he wonld take' snine• op port n!li!yto s' ate the gener.tl principles which fluencedhis Alajt.s'y's Government in' the comic Of the transactions "adverted to ; 'and their Lord. .ships Mast be aware of the extreme delicacy as well a the importance with respect tp interfetini4 on the occasion. lie wOnld mix state the gronnd upon which bi 3 NlAjes!v's Gnveitunent did not coucc ve itself bound to call fnr any Act of. Re- . partition. The fact was, that two persons, tor. merly British subjects, were taken and exeeoted in the Spanish territories by the Ametienn Ge neral. The Act itselfs,areider such circantstances, concerned that country its Whose territories it had hee'ri'coinmitted. Notwithitanding this, the Ame rican Government had expressly armed, that the act complained of was done;not only not by its 'or ders, but even'for a loot; titne . withont its know ledge and such was eve') mate part of the snb sequent complaint against' General Jackson for his condact. The real qu'estion.was, whether or not this wasone.ot those occasions upon which repa ration should be required. Aed he would put it to ail their Lordships, whether, in case sncir a reparation was demanded, they tvere trot [mood to enforce such in case of refusal, at all .hazards, even, to tine extremity vf war and they. may. judge Whether such was an occasion in which it . was tit'to einbark this country in a state, of war, fare ! Aud further, he would ask, in a case where Et Mit ish subject tiosaght it proper to eugage in the service of a foreign country, and part iculatlY at a time when such State was at war with his own country, did such person miof forfeit all right and claim to Brliit. ;rioter:6°n ?, was. a - principle in the Law pf Nations which .he be lieyed' they 'were called Lipari on every ground of 'policy to adopt.: They were not bound to pro tect every British Adventurer who thus chose:to fOrego Iris allegiance,; and the question then for their decision was, whether these per- . sons; Aurbrister and Arbuthnot, had. not, by so•engagiug themselves in foreigat services, with out the consent of his Majesty, e niirelyfurfeited every claim to Bri;ish protection ? Widt respect to Ambrister, he bad voluntarily end) oked'in the . military service of a foreign power, and was taken inn a course of hostility against the opposing power. In the 'instance of Arbuthnot. ,the 'ase 'was-different ; and, in stating this, the N'able Se cretary of State entered into somewhat of circatn statitial detail. He had beet) for some time before engaged in a commercial line, and, in :the course thereof; had supplied one of the belligerent pat ties with variotis iffportant articles of 'atinS end atinnunition, partieuiarlY , he latter, -,-though his case was still different bum that of • Ambrister, whose situation and et - induct twits iarch as clearly to render the step taken by General Jackson clearly a. question between that Officer arol lib; own Go veritinent. Rettirding to that . of A thnthnot e his _Lordship stated some further eiteutustances,— Many or - his transactions were of a commercial character ;'but the whole tor- a longtime was , • such as clearly .to put him out of lit itish puttee tints, In the result the unfortunate man suffered (1;:all), but it was utter a trial by a regular Alili taryCourt, whets at the same' time two Indian Chiefs who were taken with them were executed at the moment• The pursuits' in which Arbuth not had embarked, were evidently more of a poli tical than of a commercial nature, and he, was for merly appointed by one of time belligerent parties its authorised agent ; and in such : character he had actually made official communieatious, and among other powers, to the British Government: These circuastances were . estabtished by means of a'. letter its his oven hand-writing, and he must re peat, that the whole of this man's conduct was such as. to put him out of the pale . of British plo t tectum. Looking to the treatment of these on happy men, as: individtralseby the American Com mander, he felt there could but one sentiment pervade the House and the Country, one of indig nation and horror ? —(Hear, hear !)—and such was the general sentinseut in the. United States then) . - selves ! 0:t the grounds he stated, he again asked whether a necessity was. created so as to authorise this country to demand, reparation, al ways recollecting that such could riot consistently be done without putting the' country in a situation so as to recur', accordi.ng to tire events, to the ex 'remit y of .war ? The 'Marques's of LANSDowN explained.—He did not mean to say that the act at General Jack son was arie for which our Governmeirt was bound stick reparation, or for which they could he justified its going to tear with America. His object was, to have a public disavowal of the act, and to settle the law of nations on this point. A principle of honour and of interest most induce the Government of tine United States to disavow tiie act. This was the view he had of the subject, There, certainly taass . a great dis tinction between Ambritter .and Mitt:Oink ; for tit= ratter did not appear to have been 80 engage] , at to lose., the proldetion of tits own eobnlty. more was pretended -than that he :bad been a channel.ot 'Communication tor be Indians ; and be acted altogether in a civil, not in a military capacity. As to the cession of, the Forbids, all he meant to say was, that the proud situation in which Ertglapd stood at the -- general • treaty o'f_ Peace, gaVe:liker a right-to require from Spain,. that no such - cession -`should—ualte thing Shouldtave been gnarded against at the Con gress of Vienna: It hairbeen the constant policy of this country to look to possible events of .this kind, and to enter into _stintlLl:ions to prevent their taking place. Hitherto there was a ba lance, on whicft this country used . to rely for:her security ; and it was an essential part of this ha-• lance of nations to prevent th'eflbridas from be ing ceded to. t:te thtlied-StateStati ereirt which will here-after he bitterly deplored a, injtitdout and: fatal to the interests of 6i4 - .,i': 1 36( 3 , 41 in case of any intn - re war with the. , United States., ~As„, however, he,undersiotil that sonic of the commu nications to which he alluded, took place, Ike .troUld riot pre his.niotilm, • " • ..• The Earl of I.AvEttiniii,, foreihle mid 'argumentativ,e speech, situportiA o hat had 'wen aalvancetthy:-liis Noble Frivnd: The.iiiie of duct lailOpteil . by the British Govet nment, he ntf (It:ion4llY otrserved,.was strict,iv lootoled nbt tray upon • the la,vo and.

SUPPOSED ABUSE IN TIIE NAVY. . Sir FttAscts lb IMETT, previously to present-. ;lig the Petition (which he held in his hand) from. Geo. Croud or Crook, took the liberty of stating the grounds of it. The Petitioner, after a faith lid discharge of hi; duty for several years, as the 1 - lon. Baronet understood, and uit i. out ever having been ,brought to a Com t Martial, had re- ceived six dozen lashes, and beendisgraecd by be ing rxpelled the ship (the Almine). in ilie:courie of his sefvice, be had become entitled to 5001. p , 17.e looney, due to him by the• regulations of the Ad-. miralty ; .but he had not only been dep.riyu , i of this `stini Idr m thy years, and forcibly driven out of the ship without sufficient cause, -but Suffered an additional stigma on his clOaracter by, -these acts of,oppression. The House would •ikiso pleas' to recollect, that he. was an impressed - mati--tio volunteer—and consequently it was eisce,edit.4y hard that he should be thus deprived 'ot the means of redress by an . unjust expulsion from the ser vice. He therefore prayed for redress of liis•ek . ... traortlinaty hat:dships.
