He had not, however; relied merely on the opinion of General Nugent, - but had also taken the opinion of Lord V. Bentinck, who, being at that tune near the spot, had good 00- porinnities of judging. - Lord W. Bentinck had informed him by a' letter, that he conceived that lre conceived that the object of - Murat Was very clear, " that he wanted 'to hold the - balance in his own hands, to keep possession of Italy south of r;,e Po, and then to throw his weight into the scale which appeared niost likely to prepon— derate." Prince Talleyrand also tool him that he-had the clearest proof's - that long after Murat had been negociating with 'The Allies, he was also in direct negociation with Bilonaptirte for the possession of Italy - south • of the PO.— It is true that Buonaparte, not then thinking so humbly of his fortune, treated his proposal with the utmost contempt, and talked of Murat as a madman and a fool. It appeared that even in the month of Fetruary last year, the Queen . of Naples was in direct communication with Buonaparte, and made proposals to hint on the part of bee husband. As to the merit that was claimed for his not joining the Viceroy, the fact was, that he could not join him as their pretensions were in compatible. in in fact claimed allow half of his Vice-royalty. The House would now see the • cruel situation in which Minister's had been placed. They had been reviled in every corner of the coun try for supposed breaches of faith, Which the Gen tlemen on the othersidesoconfidently-eharged them, with. He trusted that he had been able to collect sufficient documents to prove to the House and the Country, that there had been no breach o f f a ith on : "the part of the British Government._ He admitted that the lion. Gent. had fairly and properly, this night, said that the case was a prima facie one, and called for some answer or enquiry. lie thought, however, that any mail who had the least value for the honour and character of his country, or. the government snider whiCh he lived, should, even if - there was a prima facie- case Of breach of faith, suppose. that the Government would be able to give it an answer, and Justify their condriet. Mi- • Onisters,- however, had been most violently attack ed by other gentlemen in that House, upon souse loose .documents that had got into their hands, and before the time had - arrived - when they could go into their justification... As he had wished to - get possession of what, documents he could find re specting the conduct of iVistrat, he intreated Prince Talleyrand to-have search made its the bureau. of Paris. A dilii.;eut search had been made, and very important documents had been found. He should now read. to the House many extracts of the correspondence which bad been found, that passed as that time between the Princess • BOrghese, Buoriaparte, and the King and Queen of Naples. Lie should also react extracts to prove the opinion of the French Constituted Authorities on his condnct.• From the Ist letter, which was from the Princess porehese to Buonaparte, dated . Lucca,,Peb. 14th, be read the following extract : " The King of Naples is in a state of great agi tation_ He is astonished that the Viceroy should have retired front the banks of the Adige, and hopes that he has not forgotten the benefits he had received from your Majesty." The 2d letter which, he should read, was front Buonaparte to. the Queen of Naples, and was dated Naugis, the 17th of - February. At the time this letter was ~ written, Buonaparte did oot despair of-his fortune, and treated Murat in the stile of a master, This letter. contained the following expressions " Your husband is a brave mark in . the field, but more cowardly than a woman when he has been a month from the field. He has no mo ral courage. He, should know that what be has, he cau only hold by we, and with me.— When- he quitted the army Without ; orders, and ever since, he- has , beets doing are as much mis chief as he could. I may, however, yet pardon hint.. Recta .hins to a sense of his duty, and let him watch for a favourable moment to sinew me that he is not as ungrateful its .be-lias been pusil lanimous." He should next read an extract from a letter front Fouche to Buonaparte, dated Lucca, February 18. This letter stated, ";.that the King was sick with grief ; that he felt thoroughly the circumstances in which he Was placed, and that the 'English and Austrians - reproached him with too ,intich attachment to his Imperial Majesty.'? He then read an extract of a letter from Eugene Beauharnois to Buonaparte, ..dated the'.2Bth of February, This letter exprtssetF " that the Vice roy had the strongest hopes that the King of Na ples would not add to the wrongs he had been guilty of towards his Imperial Majesty, by firing at I.'s troops." He next react an ex tract of ,a letter from the French Consul at Ancona, which had do date, but was certainly written about the same time. That letter stated the substance of the conversation between him and Murat. The King of Naples told-him that necessity alone com pelled , him to join the Allies. The maritime strength of England was always threatening his states with invasion, and his people were discon tented at the stagnation of trade. He said that it was agreed that his army was never' to fight against Frenchmen." The next letter which he bad to read was a very curious document : was a letter from Buonaparte to Murat, giving,. him an account of his successes over the Aus trians on the 10th, I lth, and 12th, and threat ening hint with the effects Of Isis displeasure if he did not change his conduct. He, however, ad- 1 dressed him with some degree•of courtesy, its still giVing him the title of a King. This curious in strument began in this manner—" Sire, my bro ther, your conduct has been diametrically oppo site tm.your (bay. "That, however, belongs,.to the weakness of your character. You are a good soldier in the field of battle, hut elsewhere your conduct has. been most pusillanimous. I still rely upon your contrition, to repair the faults yon have beets guilty of. If it should turn out otherwise, . you may repent it. I hope you are not one of those who think the lion is dead, .aed —" (Lord C. said .he did not know how to react the next phrase in English, but he would give it to them in the original—r" et qua Von peut pi sser sur (Loud laughter defeated the A ustr i ans yes terday.

On the 31st of March, without making any communication to the Austrian Go vernment, he put his whole army in motion from Ancona, in au offensive manner against the Aus trian Govermnen't.,and endeavoured by his pro clamations to excite the -peOple of Italy to join against the Allies. In his addresses to the Ita lians he spoke in the most favourable terms of the English, in order fo draw them into the belief 'Tie SPEAKtt.---1 am quite persuaded that the Himse cannot suffer the debate to terminate with such ,words unexplained. Whatever might be the heat of debate, or the strength of the impression they made, they are words that, I ant sure, the Right Hon.

They are cer tainly words' not to he employed without au "ex . - pianation that they were not intended to give per. sonal offence. The Right Hon. Gentlem an n, ces it to the House to give some explanation. that'-this 'nation was favourable to his views. It was of course preposterous to suppose the Allies were bound to keep any terms with him after he had openly attacked the Austrians. He had no objection to•produce the papers moved for ; and if they did not satisfy the Hon. Members who wished to have thent, they would have it in their power to bring forward, any-- question respecting them which they Might • think proper. - - ,He was desirous to do this,'in order to clear himself from the charges which had been so numerously, un candidly, and in his opinion, unfairly made against ; and the aspersions of which' he %visited to make evident, not only to the Government, but to the whole -country. The information• of the Hon. Gentleman who made those charges ap peared to have been drawn from the secret off -6.41 sources of •other countries, which were. not tne most creditable; and he hoped it would prove a salutary lesson to the Hon. Members on than of the 'louse, which would make them in fa= thre more cautious Of bringing' forward -accusa. tions to calumniate the Government on authority so weak and. inefficient, and abstain from bring- , ing- forward their attacks on Ministers till they could fairly try the question. Mr. WHITBREAD said, as this was not the night for entering at large into 'the 'papers which the Noble Lord had promised should be produced, lie would not trouble the House further than to ob serve that those Hon. Members who bads() loud ly cheered the Noble Lord, and who thought that he contained in himself the whole Government of this country, might find themselves satisfied by L i e ' l c o o n u g l d n ad able speech of the Noble Lord, but - no means "do so. The Noble Lord had, opened a scene of diplomatic treachery and baseness, which he,. for one, conld wish had no existence, but in imagination. .The Noble Lord had read a great many letters however, obtained by the Noble. Lord, and 'stow a''-hici, strongly- ' sot:Net-Alley might weigh with some, had not by any means convinced him that the Noble Lord.'s conduit was not still open to every' thing-that had been said of it. ~When the papers were laid . opon the table, he should have an op portunity of delivering•his opinion more fully. Lord CASTLEREAGH explained. Mr. PoNsoNny said, the Noble Lord flattered himself in supposing that what had. fallen•fronr hint that night • would prove a salutary lesson to himself and his Hon.- Friends who acted with Mr. PONSONBY.- 1 - , 1 am sure, Mr. Speaker, that this is not the place for a man to he too pertina• cious regarding any expressions he may have used, since he must know what would be the conse quence of the intervention of the Chair. Bot submit to you, Sir, that 1 was not the first-person whose language was exceptionable. I made no charge against any individual of holding clandes tine correspondence with an enemy. Let the Noble Lord place himself in our situation, 'and suppose the accusation brought, against himself, would not he feel it very acutely ? Lord CASTLEREAGH.-1 objected on the gene ral principle to the employment of information that must directly or indirectly have come from such sources as those to which I alluded. The Right-Hon. Gentleman ought- to be the last per ion .to complain -of unparliamentary language. Mr. HORNER said, he was the person to whom the words of the No'ole Lord most partiCUlarly alluded. His Right Hon. Friend had felt those words to ,be strong and very severe, and he had replied to them with w a r m th ;- but he hoped the Noble Lord would make some allowanc,e. roe "warmthwarmth of feeling and expression, ex- Cited by debate. Lord CNSTLEREAGH disclaimed having u'e.l any " strong language.' All he meant- to say was, that when - persons made charges on infor mation drawn from weak and improper sources, such charges ought not to be attended to by the House. • Mr. PONSONBY observed, that after what had just been said he was 'sorry he had made use of the expressions he (lid. Mr. W. POLE said,. that When the papers were laid on the table, he had no doubt but it would be found that Government had done what they ought to have done. Mr. PROTIIEROE congratulated the House on the very satisfactory explanation be (Lord C.) had given of his whole conduct, against which so many charges had been at different times brought forward. Mr. HORNER replied; and the question was agreed to. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned. w ington yesterd a y An Inquest was held at Ne on the body of Thomas Plumner , a boy about 14 years of age, who received a blow whi c h, caused his death, in a fight with Charles Webb, another boy, against whom the Jury rtnurned a verdict of feloniously killing and slaying. ; for he believed that nothing the Noble Lord had said, or could say, would be deemed by any of them either instruction or authority. He
