''" " e AV PI SU. were fnally heard relative to the Scotch Appeal twines Marshall and others v. lames Stein, after which the LORD CuAnest.i.ne atilressed the House at considerable . letigth upon the, sehje,e, and after staring. his opinion as to ' the law of the case, and el, pressing his feelings thereon, he tiloved a proposition wilding to affirm the Judgment of the Couttbelow, with the annexation of t5Ol. as costs and on the totstion being oft, the sum,: was ordered accordingly. The Foyal Assent was given by Commission to le Public and Priesse Bills; among the former were the Militia Fami tlea 'the 'tact India Volunteers, and the Vexatious Arrests Dills. . . • The Lords COmmissioners were the Lord Ctimvetta.olt, tor,t Waa.st tasnAm, and Lord Au egeaeo. - A great deal of private business was transaeled, in the course of which various observations were made by Lords A 0 ex t: ivei n, G w eeie, and the Bishop of ST. AsAtit• - Lord Pet...neer presented, by command of His Majesty, a variety - of:additional State, l'apetg, pursuant to certain Ad dressesOf their Lordships, which,. after the titles wore read, were ordered to lieen the Table. . The various Bills before the , House were forwarded in their respative st. o ,et. The Expo r ter s ' Indemnity bill, and '' re Scotch School.. masters Bill, severally went through ' Committees of the whole House: ... The Irish Courts of Law Bill, being referred to a Coln • rnitoße of the whole House, ;ind that Clause rcspeaing the CoMernsetions being read, . liftrl 4. i.v.k sivr v rose and delivered his opinions trance:l - tbttoperations of the Clause at some length. lie . seemed to entertain a considerable degree of•objea(on to the pruvi- Cons of the Classic as it then stood, He was. by:nO means hostile to the principle of reasonable and Adequate compen sation. but as the Clause was framed, too great a latitude was ainracti with resped to the ratio of the intended compen sation. and lie thought an inquiry with respect tOthe losses should have been instituted. He adverted to the principle by which other Legislative proviiions era similar nature were guided : he called the serious attention of the Committee to the iwevisions in qtteetinn, which taking thein in certain :relicts of view, he (kerma at lent to be questionable. lord A u nee A well; answer to what had fallen from the Noble and Teemed Lord, observed, that he differed from him • to a certain degree with resped to the principle he had laid dimn, "and still :time so with resped to the consideration of fad. There were several strong precedents for the proceeding Isefore the House : the object of the Bill was to make a certain • change in the pratliee of the Administration of justice upon principle of public benefit, which change tended 'to idled rivate property. The Committee would recoiled that the laces the'Emoluments of which were .to be diminished, ewe granted to the parties for life by patent, or sotne'other - , :way, and in most instances had been enjoyed for a conticier- We number of years. With resped to the Bill, they'must take, it as it cAme before • them, and they had no reason to think the proposed average was any .ther than a fair one. It was reasonable that retsons whose properties were so af. :trete& timid be cnmpensated by that Public for whose be - refit the changes were made. The. Noble and .Learned Lord Awned toe - tied to the quantum of cnmpensation, and to the proposed charge upon the Consolidated Fund. It was a • .principle,repeateclly acknowledged by Parliament, that full compenserien should be given fin losses so ineurredi there were several precedents for the provisions in question, one of their he read. beieg an ex tracterfroM an Adt (We believe) of Ills-present Meleety, which went to empower the Omni's_ • sinners of the 'l reasery to allow the parties in question an lattitlea equal •in amount to the legal fees and curlutnents of which they had been so soon deprived ; and in a* case , .where no inquiry had hen instituted, and which,. as welt as others, he: could refer to, proved that such proceedings ewere recognized upon eeneral principle by the Legislature. The Earl of LINNVAICIC, atter complimenting the Noble . ;Lord who spoke last upon' the attention paid by him to the concerns of Ireland, entered into a statement of the violins. eirettrnstance i s which rendered the measure necessary, and which was highly epprOved of in Ireland. With resped to the ratio of compensation,'the Noble Earl observed, that the increase of several of the Incomes to be afketeci by the Bill, bad progressively been in a state of increase; the average of three years, therefore, was nut only a fair but a moderate rate of calculation. , Lord.Vicoent CA Rt,,A.:rox agreed in what had been stated ilm the Noble Earl, and spoke, in approbation of the Bill. The measure, he. observed, was one. looked ter ia Ireland with great anxiety ; ittrieert it would there he regarded as a boon. He allowed that in the instance of certain regulations which had been made with resped to the Law Courts in this rt of the Country, t o Compen s ation had been made, but ev :*lty ? Because no injury had been sustained hy•the parties. He observed there xvere various precedents which bore out the present case, and argued t 113 k the proposed average was a 'fair one, with a reference to the principle of just contpettse . -tion. The. LOR n Cumer.t.t.oa agreed to a certain extent in part Of whit had fallen from the "Noble and :Learned -Lord who opened thc.clisoisinn. The yarincipleof compeniition was certainly a very delicate point; and 'with referente ,:to the case before the Committee, it was one ofr rather difficult calculation i for who could. when the effedof long habits, arid o . t practice, was considNed, calculate with any degree of Certaltity, what quantum of imtoturntnt - would be taken from the Officers of the Court of Exchequer, by the departure of Suitors to the other Law Courts ? However, upon the whale, as the Committee had received, assurances from the most respedeble quarters, that the Measure• was approved' of, and cleft celled for 'in Ireland, and the consideration of its leivieg come to - them f:rotte the other House, he did not tidek the objections which he (entertained wire suffici mei i y •erong to withdraw. his . suppnrt from the Bill. 'I he Clause in question was then agreed' to, as were the edict provisiOns of the Bill ; Lifter which the House resumed, aped the Report was ordered to be received on Wednesday neat, to which dal their Lordships adjourned. MUSE. OF COMMONS. TRioAN., vimr 27. Tat House proceeded to ballot for two Com. mittees for the trial of the Contested Eleftions for Newcastle-under-Lyme, and Rednorshire, but only ,aueceeded in , the former. On the Gallery being' opened for 'the admission of Strangers, a .motion was .made by Mr. ,DENT, that the names of the Members absent on the Bal. lot, should he reported on Wednesday to the' House. Mr. BRaGGE suggested the propriety of waiting to.morrow, when the House must proceed to the Ballot, which could not be effeaed to.rtighe. The Motion, after some observations from Mr. WILLIAIIII WYNNE, was withdrawn. Mr. BaAooo then moved, that the House should be ellted over to.morrow, which was agreed io, to. gethrr with the other. titeal. Motions attendant slier(-opon.

Having, he said, cOnversed with his Noble Friend (Lord HAWKESBUR,Y) upon the subjeft, _and understanding that there was no objedinn co the part of His Majesty's Ministers, he should inertly content himself with reading his Motion. Helhen moved, " That an .humble Ad: dress be presented to His Majesty, praying, that His Majesty woulit be graciously pleased .to order to be laid before the House, copies of any orders for the removal of the persons from this Country calling themselves commercial ComthissionerS from.

Sir GEORGE .COANEWALL gave notice of his in tention to move, on Wednesday, for leave to bring. in-A Bill to regulate the Turnpike Ad., Lord FOLKP.STONE gave notice. of his intention to move on Wednesday for the produdian of car tain rapers relative to the'.executinn of the second Article of the Treaty of Amiens. Mr. Htrrett trisox made a few observations on the necessity of promulgating more eiTetioally .the Petitions respeditig the Mill Distineries. Mr. CORRY said, that dUe notice I,vould be given to the persons concerned in the Distilleries of Ireland, of the discussion of the Petitions alluded to, nor would. they be taken into' consideration without that due' notice being gi*en. A sh,Al conversation ensure, in which Colonel BAGWELL wished that the notice for taking the Petitions into consideration should stand, for the 22(1 of June instead''{ the gth of June ; but on Mr. CORAY observing, that if the former day'should be found too early, there would be no objeaion to,give further time, the conversatiimi dropped. MEDIATION OF RUSSIA. Mr. FOX said, .he considered the Question he, was abbut to bring fdrward, as important asany that had ever come before the House. With re soca to the general Question of War or Peace, he should have no,objeCtion to discuss it now, if h e had not already dune it ;• his opinion on that sub-;. jest was well known, with that opinion the ma. polity of. the House differed ; die Country was at war, and every treasure 'which ".was calculated to rencleta that War successful t should have* his sup port. Every one, however, must agiee in the pro priety and expediency of any measure which was calculated tta. bring 'that-War to a termination, as soon as possible. The ohjeEt of his Motion was, to terminate it by a measure perfectly praCticable in itself, and likely to be attetided,with the most•be- • neficial consequences. It was to advise His M ajesty to avail hiMself of the disposition* which it was understood the Emperor of Russia had shewn to mediate between the two Countriea ; the advan. sages of such a mediation; .it was not-necessary to point.out. The mediation* of a grearfioWer was always of use, even when it did little mote than lend, its name, as a name thus given to a Treaty, might give it a sandion in the eyes' of Europe, which it would not otherwise possess. The media. don proposed, in this,case, was of a very different nature. If a mediation had been offered by *the Emperor of Russia, and if,, as it . was understOod, it had been accepted by the Enemy, he could not avoid considering' the advantages which would ec. crue froM" the acceptance of it on the part of this Country ; and who so properto mediate upon. this oc .casiOn as Russia, who had been applied to to become one of The Guarantees of the island of. Malta, which was the principal subject in dispute ? He thought, however, that the mediation of Russia would go a great'way further; he thought that from his power, - his general charaCter, and from a variety of other , circumstances, the Emperor Of Russia was the fittest-Sovereign to . undertake a Mediation of Allis nature, not only with a view to the general . points to!' which that mediation might be applied, but also to those particular points ,rwhich .fortned• the sub 'ell of dispute betWeencthis.Country and France. With • refilled to the general 'Character of that Sovereign, from •all tile) , were able to cnllett, 'the Court, of Petersburgh had given proofs of 'an eminent desire tcy..preserve the tranquillity.: of Etirope, and that France and - England, and all the lesser PoWers, might lie,at Peace. Every circumstance tended to prove the \ great and strong desire of the Govern. 'meat of Russia for Peace, and it was also stated' to , have expressed a strong disapprobation -of the con, duff of France in various . instances. Now if they ,were to look fiat' a Mediation, there' were two qua_ 'idea extremely *eisential, which in this case ex isted in all their 'force: 'ln . the first place, ,he 'found on the part of RUssia an - eminent desire of Peace.; and, in the second, a great disappro bation of the tonduEfLof France, which was in a great measure Contiefted with the circumstances out of which the dispute with this Country- had . arisen. If such a mediation should be success. ful, and he confessed he was extremely sanguine in his expeftation ae to.the result, It might lead to a • much larger system, and mighthave an extremely favourable influence upon the general state of rope. If it was put to him, was he sure that this would produce-Peace, he should say, that he cer. tainly could not be sure, but he never looked for ward to any result with a more sanguine expeEta. tine than to the result of the Mediation, of which he 'proposed that we _Should avail ourselve s . H e . thought he should not differ from any one Member when he said, that of all the eircunistances in the state of .Europe, that •which gave most wise for lamentation, was that we had not the pawer of pro_ telling others, and that weinust continue the contest, . with the certainty . that France would use the p o w er which she poasessed for the purposeS of ulteriorag grandixement,,and of oppressing those States which were unable to resist her. Ha- hoped then, that the mediation of Russia 'would have the atria ' o f preventing those, lamentable consequences. What Power possessed so fair a right, as irwere, to pre scribf:Peace to Europe ? Besideh,.,the,Emperor,,of . .Russia, from peculiar circumstances, might be ablest to use,stronr langtrage to Bonaparte. The lite Emperor had a dispute With this COuntry, which had been sinee amicably settled,'. andsthere was not the least reas6P to suppose that the piesent En pe tor would wish to renew tliat dispute ; but as it was said with respect to. the Treaty of Amiens, that there we're many points- in it- unsatisfaftory to this Country, so in the arrangement with the Emperor of Russia, there were some points perhaps onsatisfaelory. to-that Court. ' .- The Em. peror might therefore ' say to this Country if you will be bound by 'your t Treaty, I - will be bound by mine.—When, ' however, he came to talk to the Enemy, the Emperorhad 'still stronger, sgrouncls. He understood- that a pirt of His Ma. oesty's declaration alluded to a proposal made by France to Russia, for the dismemberment of- the Turkish Empire. - Russia it was well known was : alwaya the enemy or the Ottoman Empire, its ,Princes had had almost an hereditary design upon Turkey, and if any disinemberment of that Empire was. to take place, Russia must necessarily gain the largest share ; but the Emperor of Russia might say to the First ConSul, ,if I abstain from . 4 - de. sigoS of that sort, do you also abst a i n , and . a system - might. then be formed and carried into effes`.l, -by -which no Power in Europe 'could be enabled to . :injure' the Ottoman Empire. The Emperor of Rnssia would also join this Country in any proposition for the better peotedion of the se.; condary Powers of . Europe from . the oppression 'of France. It might be said, that France would accede to . such a proposition only to gain time; it' might beo, but - that would answer his (Mr. Fox's) purpose, as the effrtl wools/ be the postponement of the contest. If Russia proposed any measure tending - to the security of the "filekish Empire, it must . be_ acceded to by France.. It might be said, that France might accede, and afterwards break Abe. Treaty ; it might be so, but if this was the case, • there was an end of all Treaties whatever. This, advantage would however result, that if France broke•a Treaty -thus made, it would not he Great Britain only that would he engaged in the contest, but Great . -Britain and Russia conjointly. Much had been fir:firefly said upon the subjett of Con tinental Alliances, . they . - might, be. prudent or not, according to circumstances ; but if Alliances -were necessary, there' was no Power so competent, as - Russia to reduce the PoWer of Fpice... He asked whether. we had not a bettee chance of obtaining the cordial cooperation of Rossia, sifter such a me diation had heen'tried and failed, than at the pre- J : sent moment ? He considered the present as a happy - opportunity, which if not seized, it might be afterwards much .to be lamented.. He asked - any man, whatever might be the Power Of France, if, when it saw Russia, and 'Great Britain united, the boldeat Government of , that Country would not shrink from the contest i The only possible case of opposition to such an union, .was that of ikustria and Prussia joining France ; ,but this was stS extremely.. improbable, that it was not worth considering. The general policy of the Court of Berlin, was pacific; in Austria the same opinion pretty generally prevailed, which resulted in a great measure, from the change of Count:lli and the prevaleme : of the Arch - duke Charles, who, although not ultimately successful in the late contest, had obtained by hit conduet the greatest glory, ,and who appeared 'to 'consider that -glory as an -additional motive to Peace. Thus, with a pacific. Court of Berlin, of Vienna, and of Peters. .burgh, there was every advantage to be gained by , the proposed - Mediation, from Whence, in the event of its failnre, 'as subsequent co.operation of the Court of Petertburgh might be insured. They would, at least, if such a Mediatioti failed, entist s the good ,opinion of Mankind in the prosecution-of the -War, svltilst , 'the House and 'the Country would be bet. to .slitisfied, snit, ,a strong and utianswerableT case would be made out on the part of Great Bri. tain—By -refusing-. that Mediation, we mi&ht bt • enabled- to prevent,' the 'aggrandizement of I. ranee; —lf it was 'supposed,- that the mediation of Rus. • , 4;:l'AViti only offered to. ainceat 4 friendship for ltarice, then His :Majesty's ;Ministers .. had 'a solid and unquestionable right to refute it, hut , he did not believe that such, was the case, nor did he be s Bette that there : was any inch' sitSpicipri: .The Me-: -diction` carrtiat 't late 'but he trusted His „ 1 period, Majesty's. Ministers would not hesitate' to put an end to the contest as soon , as they could, consistent with the honour of the Country.. If PeaCe Was the etfeft of the Mediationest -more solid and. firm league might be made ; it would not merely be a guarantee -for. Malta," but a, guarantee fur Europe. ,The tran. 'quillity•of the Continent might 'be preserved, and all those 'exchanges and cessions - preveated, Which might be contrary:to the interests.of Other Nations, and a system might be-estatiliihed, by which those • isidtiops which hail.anitained-losses might be prevent. ed -from aceiving further :injuries, and-those wh9 had gained, might be induced to lle satisfied with their gains, and aids all forther.eneroachments might be prevented, 'and . a fur prosped of a long and uninter soloed Peace might ensue. He concluded by moving " That an humble Address - be presented to His Majesty, praying_ that. His Majesty would be 'graciously', pleased to avail, himself of the disposi tion. manifested by the Emperor' of Rdssia to me diate between His Majesty and the Governrrient of France, for the }impose of terminating the War, if it could be'efKted - consiSiently with the 'honour of Mi . - Majesty's' Crown, and the interests of the country." •He also moved, " Thatliis Majesty's Declaration should he read," which Was accordingly entered as read. Lord HiIIFICESBURY said, he •was glad the Hon. Gentleman had moved that His Majesty's De. claration should be read, is by' that it appeared .that Cis Majesty was disposed to enter into any arrangement which was consistent with the honour of His Majesty's Crown, and the, inter. ests of his , people. He should have hoped that that very passage io the Declaration would have convinced the Hon, Gentleman that his Motion was 'unnecessary and ill.titned. To the Motion itself he had 'two objceilons ;. first, that no Constitutional or Parliamentary ground had been laid down in sup- port of the Motion; and secondly, that it appeared that there existed no such ground whatever for the Motion. All the arguments, on the contrary, bore on t h e ot h e r side ; and he was sure that if no Par. liamentary ground existed for the Motion, it cotrid,l produce nu good, and might produce Warm. lie trdsted thit respected enough the , Valoable Fri. I ;t~ 1:1 it i; ~~ :V . . . viteaee of that *House, to be C OMIIICed b had no tight to intpfere and give their op inion ` vith resped..,to the conduct of His Majesty's Govern-, - meter, and . question of 'War or. Peace. But whilSr he admitted more especially ein. r on that most iaexetant this, he contended that the Constitution having wisely inveited His Majesty with the prerogative of negotiating, and of declaring Wet or lt some sufficient grounds" ought' to be made out for interfering with the conduct of His Meiesty's Go, vernment in that resped. One was, that His nti a " jesty's Government had been guilty of negled, scene a that it ought or ought not to have done . particular ad, because such and such coot- qtiences might or might not have resulted 'front it, in which case it was certainly open to -the House -to . say that it ought to be -,done. The oth er was, where without any such neglea, t he s ystent laid down by His - Majesty's Mintsters Willi SA : that -it did not include some particular pointetit various points, in which case, it was pettedly ot* petent to the Hoe to say, that such points ouett Howse to have been included in that s ystem. 13ot i° e ver / case of this kind, a fair and strongground ought to be made.oute - In this cane; no fair ground had been brought forward in support of the motion.-- The measure which the House were called "upon t° accede to, had not been neglected by His ralajesty'4r Ministers, neither did the system) they 11013/ down preclude that measure. If any case.sinnildnaP" pen in which meth a Measure shotild be 011:jotted ne• nessary or expedient, it was already provided f °r * Upon this it would leaked be necesaary for Itlin e ,, do no more than to refer to the last proagtq t "''' one of His Majesty's Deelaration, in whiee Itaviog stated all the grievances of which he had coMala d ed, and the necessity of recallin g his Atolossaes from Paris, and of having r ecourse to 'alin, il s Majesty says to ail Europe, " Thai, he 401 r, ready to concur, even now, in an arrengengt, ; 3 ' which svisfadion. will be given to him toe the i rfr , dignities which had been offered to his Crewe 31 ' 4 further encroachments on the to his People, and sufkient security offered e,g 3 ', f , Wma was this but to spew His Majesty's sincere disposition for Peaee; and. he would ask, W1.16 . 1.1 f ;, after that, any Achninisrration could-advise " Majesty to refuse.tolisten to any reasonable, lal,Ar, practicable proposition for Peace, if Pence ."`,7 be obtained consistently with the honour 01 - '''') Nation ? lie Tow us to the latter Farr of the.. kin Geritleman'e speech an the policy of Europe, An d :, Continental connexions, he should neat t ake - ne " time of the House, inure especially since there eits scarcely a principle laid down `by 1 lee flower, able Gentleman in which he did not .coteill e° ', ll , agree, and he - concurred with him, that the ` w ee ' mode.of lessening the progress of that sysivnti Part of Frace. fatal efrefte of 'Which had been felt for the test tea, years War, and felt as much since the eeeelasien i'l Peace, was, by the'union of the Ind , pendent Stall .01 Europe, on broad, libera l, and lair motive'' a l ai not on intareeted or :selfish princ i p les ; en a gees and a liberakemilerstaOttint of what truly ct )11/ P : 1 10 t the public policy of Europe. fie eg'ce d ' is ' ) 30 the Power to which , he Henouratfle.
