RUFFURE OF - Mg NttiOcixribm. The ChittiCtl,L,oll of the XCEIEQUEII rose and said., he was authorised by his Royal Highness the Prince Regent to state to the House, that the liegocintions for a general Peace had terminated by a rupture of them, and , .that a communication on the sittjeet 'Would shortly he made to Parlia inent by:his Royal Highness. lie felt happy .in stating, that in the principles,. the conduct, and the termination of the - negociations, all the Allies bad most perfectly concurred: • It was their in tention to submit shortly to Europe, and to the world, a joint public declaration, in whick.9;eir principles, conduct, and views, would be slr4eu ; and which, as soon as. it should arrive in' is country, his Majesty's Government 'would lose nO time in laying before Parliament, accompanying it 'with such other papers as - Might appear neces sary for the explanation of Wil:whole subject. He NSW not aware he could, with' propriety, say any thing more on this point at present. Mr. PONSONBI did not exactly understand what was meant by the Right Hon. Gentleman, its to the production of papers. Was it intended to lay be fore thenfnll the papers, or a selection frinn them ? He must hope, that when papers were pt.:minced, sufficient time would be given for the considera tion of them. The CHANCELLOR of theEXCIIFFIVER observed, that no communication was intended to be made, which might be detrimental to the public interest; but it was the desire of Government to afford the fullest possible information: - iirith respect to the time of making the commtmiCations, he could not speak precisely ; it would be as Soon as the ex pected declaration arrived; which he thought would be a little after.the'recess. Full time.would be proposed for consideration. - Mr. PONSONEY expressed himself, under these eireumstances, - perfectly satisfied. The CHANCELLOR' of the EXCHEQUER stated,. that the Prince Regent directed certain papers relative to the Droits Of Admiralty to be laid be fore the House. A new writ was ordered for the Borough of Dorchester, in the room of Mr. A. Court, who accepted the Chiltern Hundreds. A NOURNM ENT. Mr. PotcsoNßY begged - leave to ask what was the intention of the Chancellor of the Exchequer ropecting the duration of the adjournment. On a recent occasion, when this business WAS spoken of; that Right Hun. Geritieman had said, that the adjournment need not be longer, but Wright . be shorter, than ;the usual period. Now, be under stood that he intended tiw adjournment for the usual period, and that it was not likely that the I-louse would receive information immediately ; but that they must wait till the Allies should have prepared their Declaration, and sent - it . to- this country. In that event, it was to be sent to Par liament, accompanied by other explanatory pa pers. It was material to know his intentions; tor- if the House were to wait for the Declaration before they received any communication from our Government, -the length of time they waited Might he at the pleasure of the Allies. To remain in such a state without any information, .wa3 a -very awkward situation for Parliament, and for this nation. He thought Nit wise, on the whole, to take a shorter adjournment. The CHANCELLOR of the ExCIIEGWER Mild not discern any good reason against. the usual adjourn- Ment, which Would extend to that day fortnight. lie believed that the Declaration he bad mentioned Arouli be ready in. a.very short time subsequent to the rupture of the nepeiations. The Declaration was, not likely to be • delayed : it was probable that a Noble Lord, who had' taken a part in the. DeOriatiorys, would be present to 'give to the House all such e . xplauatiogis as' might appear Ile e;s:sarv.. Should the Allies change their inten tions, it would become the duty of this Govern ment to submit sufficient information to Parlia ment. Mr. PONSONI37 believed, that this Government had never, on former occasions, waited professed ly for, and mule the information of Parliament dependent upon, the conduct of our Allies, though be also believed there had always been previous commtfaiciltion with them. But here, at present, we were to be expressly dependent up - on' their: steps. If they should become tedious or procras limiting, or should change their intentions, then our Government was to submit information. This seemed a novelty. in our proeeedings, and render ed us dependent on otherrow'ers, instead of our wn deliberations. He ccoald not approve of a long* adjournment, as it would' be extremely inde corous h) keep the Parliament and the Nation waiting in suspense ..for the meashres of other Governments. The CitAxcti.t.oß of the ExCIIEQUEF. thought himself considerably misunderstood. What he meant was this, that the Declaration being ex pected soon, it was the most convenient procetd ing, on its arrival, 'to lay it before Parliament, together with the other explanatory papers, in a communication from the Pri'hce Regent. He was not aware of any case having before occurred si milar to this, in which we waited for a common' . joint. Declaration of all the'Allies, 'as was the case now. • , Mr. PONSONBY certainly bad understood, that information to Parliament was to depend on re ceiving this Declaration. Ile was now to under stand that such was not the iptention, but that Qovernment meant to make a communication at such time as 'night appear necessary. Ue had therefore nothing farther to say. - the.motion of M BARING, after a few ob servations from the Chancellor of the Echetitier, an Estimate of the Expeneci of Building the Dew Custainhonse in the Cify of London/ Was :or dered.—AdjournedL M. Thorns, of the Transpnrt (Ace, presented at the Bar an account of the number and tonnage of vessels emolovcd.in the transport service.— Ordered to be printed.. A Person froin the East India Dock. Company resented at the Bar aii,-account of - receipts year I . Bl3.—Ordered to lie on the table. An account Was ordered ko be laid befdre the House ofthe ohieiai and teat talue of exports to the British American Colonies, for 1810; 11, 12, and 13, distinguikhing British manufactures fttim those of foreign countries. Also of the ourfilicr of ships ang men employed in. the stime, during the same yeats. Also of the tonnage of the ships employed during that time. • tLERCY MNALTiES Mr. BATHU BST intiVed, that the Committee on the Clergy Penalties Bill, whi stood for . this day, should be postponed tO-Tues lay. Mr. WHITBREAD said, that, he understood Mr.', Wright had presented a petitcln, praying thqt.lie might haye.time to prove the -several allegations. be bad made . in this business ; and as he i►ad no doubt but it was the wish of every Member of the House that Mr. Wright should be allowed every fair advantage he could request, to enable him to save himselk ; from any costs which might accrue ttft►itn cnnsequence of the passing of this Bill; he thought the time proposed ►ouch too short,,and hoped the Right lion. Gentleman would agree co enlarge.it. ' Mr. BATnuRsT said a few words ; after -which the Bill was ordered to be•cosnmitted on Monday, the .18th inst.. CORN TRADE: The CHANCELLOR of 'the EXCHEQUER moved,' that a Copy of the Report of the Corn Trade Committee he communicated to the IJorits; which was. ordered accordingly. COPPEft COINAGE. Mr. GrInNFELr. moved for the , printing of a paper which was on the table . , relative to the Copper Coinage. Mr. WIIITIMEAD took the opportunity of men_ . tinning to the Chancellor, of the Exchequer a great grievance which many of the lower orders of the people laboured under, in conseriuenee of the refusal. to take the Tower halfpence. 'Many Of the poor people had taken these halfpence from =the declaration made ,in. that House, that they would be made g, id by Governmnt, and when they came to pay their rates, the parish officers and magistrates refused to receive them. The CHANcELcort of the EXCEEQUER sold, that ,he.had, in the plainest manner, declared what the intentions of Govermnent were on the subject, and he was certain that eveiy person acting under him had done all in their power to make the mat ter as well understood as possible. Mr. WriimiteAo said, ne was well convinced the Might Hon. Gentleman had acted with the greatest candour and liberality on the subject, and 'he did not' mean to insinuate any thing in the slightest degree to the contrary I but perhaps a re petition of that. declaration might do something towards the satisfaction of those concerned. Mr. GRENFELL then gave notice, that soon af ter the,Recess, arid before the Right -Hon. Gen tleman bronght in his Loan, he would bring for ward a motion on the Act of the Nth of the King, and particularly one elause of it which allowed the Commissioners to apply any part of the money in their hands in aid of aay loan that might belle cessary to be made.
