GENERAL. ROSAS.
The Earl of MALME6I;I' 11l said that in order to pre-
vent any misapprehension on the subject of a question
, which bad been put to him last night by a noble marquis
'• (Clanricarde) with reeled to what orders bad been sent by
the Treasury to the outports for the reception of Cleo.
ROOM, he wished to replay that as the orders were given
six weeks ago he could not charge his memory at the time
ea to what they were. lie had since referred to the papers,
and found that the dircetions bad been contained in •
letter to the Tr..asury, which was to the eff.-et--.. that the
Earl of Maltrumbury requt steel that the officers of the cus-
toms at Southampton. Portsmouth, and Plymouth, should
reertvedireetions to treat General Rosa*, in re +pea of the
passiiig of his baggage, with the consideration and eour-
toy which was due to • person who had occupied such a
position ea he had." That was almost 'e stereotyped torm,
which we, abed with respect to all fun isnere 01 distinction,
and it was customary for the Foreign Mike to give directions
that they should be as treated ic the passing of their bag-
gage and rthvta. That did not exempt them from the pay]-
.ae rat of duty, hot was merely an act of comma, which he
th,.ught ought to have been paid to &person in the situation
of General 'togas.

noble earl was quite satislactory. All he had wished to
il
know was, whether any special iustructions had been is-

The Elf' of MALMESUVItY Jul nut think that the

ilitional .nsiers with ri gard to General Roam had been met
by the Admiralty or the Foreign-:Ace, as to how or when
or where lie was to be received.
COPYILIGHE AMENDMENT BILL.
On the motion toe ping into enrginsitto• on this bill,
LOT BEAUMONT complained that several clauses of
th. tot: were calculated to he injutious to literature, parti-
cularly as regarded foreign tranalations. and that as re-
garded dramatic production the power of preventing re-
pre emmtiess of translated foreign paces was unnecessarily
severe. As the bill was founded on a treaty, he should not
move any amendments in committee.
The Maryut. of NORMANHY explained the mode in
which the terms of the with regard to international
MFrench
For, had been a with . Ha:oche, the
For, urn secretary, and wed that he (Lord Norntanby)
had obtained • greater Protection for translatnu from
Eug-
bah works iu fern..., thus preventing the system of pirat-
ing urea publication of them at • cheap rate, and stated that
even M. tialignani approved of the bill. The treaty had
met with general smut after it was published, and the
bill merely carried it out, and *reared a protection to
BMA literature which it bad never obtained before.

OXFORD UNIVERSITY COMMISSION.
_

It reply to Mr. Ilaywnon,
Mr. Secretary WALPOLE stated that he had received
the report of this COMUliftifil, which was very voluminous,
and he bad not yet had time to read it through, which of
course it was his duty to do before laying it before her Ma.
jesty ; and, until he received her Midest's commands on
the subject, he could not say when heshould be able to lay
it before parliament.
HALIFAX AND QUEBEC RAILWAY.
Mr. COIIDEN understood that new negotiations were in
progress on this ronject ; and, as he happened to know that
there was great difference of opinion in Canada, especially
in Upper Canada, on the subject, he hoped that before go-
vernment came to any conclusion the house would be
afforded the opportunity of forming a judgment on the
Sir J. PAKINOTON said it was duo to the late go-
vernment to state that be (Sir J. Pekingtm) believed nothing
bad taken place between that government and the promoters
of the railway that could amount to a qualified assent. On
the contrary, the language of the noble lord the late Secre-
tary for the Colonies was that government would be no
parties to the guarantee unless they were satisfied with the
scheme. He might add that the subset was now under
consideration by the government.
THE RECEPTION OF GENERAL ROSAS.

Mr. ROEBUCK, on the motion that the house at its rising
do adjourn to Monday, rose to put the question of which he
had Riven notion. It appeared by the public pipers that a
treasury order was mat down from London to the &Wiwi-
ties at Plymouth respecting the reception of General Rams,
sad whethir that were so or not, it wee stated that on the
arrival of General Now at Plymouth he was waited on by
the commander there, and that by a Treasury order his
property, such as he had with him, was allowel to peas the
ett,tona-house without examination, and that facilities

. .

wen afforded to him which were not usually extended
ta ether thaa the most distinguished individuals.
ne moat complete hospitality and protection was one
Wog, the courtesy of England was another. This man
was now in misfortune ; he had lost his power—a power
marched fur 20 years in &winner which was a disgrace to
human nature. What he desired to ask of the govern-
ment, was whether • treasury order had been sent
down to facilitate in say way the reception of General
Roma in thin country ; and whether a command had been
given thatany person acting in en °Mehl rapacity ..ite.l
receive him with respect, and pay him that attention which
other refugee. had nut received ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER would riot
follow the hon and learned gentleman in his invective
against General Rosie Whatover might be the character
or e sploit. of General Rosa, be at least was an individual
with whom this country had often been in negotiation ; and
if be was nut ismonsetly informed, he was ens with whom
our gracious Sovereign hod mitered late a treaty. Therefore
it must ho obvious to the house that be had been placed in
important relations with the grows and people of England.
(.. War, hear," from the ministerial benches.) With re-
gard to the Treasury order to which the hon. and learned
gentleman referred, h., had no hesitation in saying that an
enter was scot down. It was sent down as s matter of
opens ; and although neither himself nor any member of
the "overarm at shrunk Irmo the ri simu.ibility of having
sanctioned that order, it woe still a matter of form—a
matter of form which he did not for a moment regret.
This was the treasury order, and the house would
me from its nature the character of the interference. " Gan-

General Ronan may receive the courtesy doe to a puma
who has filled the exalted station in his country man
Gemmel Rome has occupied." In giving that informttlen
to the Imam, he begged to state that he knew no precedent
by which a person who visited this country under the cir-
cumstances which brought o.neral ltoeas bile, who had
occupied a sovereign position, and been in negotiation with
the s.ve...cign of this country, could be treated in any
otlo r manner. (" Hear, bear," from the ministerial
benches.)
Mr. 111.111 K asked whether the Admiralty had mint orders
to osselobaoesunsaney to reeesse Oeneral Massie with °Mei il
honours ; and, if so, whether such orders I.sd been sent to
the authorities on any similar occasion ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought
he had Mated most dis,inetly that no such orders bad Is ,rt
seat; but, at the same time, he begged to state that her
Majenty's government entire :y . approved of the conduct of
the oille•re at Devosport.
