The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
answered, that it was true the property so disposed
of had been condemned previons to a declaration
of war, but a suhrequent decision of the Court at
Admiralty lied determined that they were 14111
captures, and therefore lawful &vitt, vested in dee
King. As sucli, His Majesty had the right of Ads
posal of the proceeds, act:noting to an Act of Par.
litiment authorising it. Vl'itis respect to the sum
of 1.20,000 alluded to es haviug been given to •
Itoyul Personage, he sleight observe, that it was
no more than what lied been formerly allowed to
the under branches of the Royal Family.
Sir FRANCIS BURDETT replied, that not-
withstanding the explanation which had been given,
he could not help expressing his disapprobatiuo of
the great that hail been made, and therefore lie
should take an early opport •ty of bringing the
matter before the litiuse.
Mr. CANNING presented certain COIIIIIIU cita-
tions that had posed between this country and the
United States of Auserica.--Litid en the tattle.
The seine Gentleman also brought up the copy
of a note froin Mr. Riess, the thiiiish Cl/4arge
d'Affaires, to Lord Viscount Howiek, which had
been formerly called far.—Ordered to be laid ou
the table.
Sir JOAN NEWPORT inquired of Minis-
ters, whether it wastheir intention to renew the ap-
pointment of the Committee for settling the dis-
putes existing as to the Distillery 'Companies in
Ireland ? For it so, the loonier that Committee met
so much the Letter. He thought it necessary to
state, that he should think it his duty to eepose
any renewal of the Suspension Bill, us it was in
direct violation of the union of the two countries.
' The CHANCELLOIt of the EXCIDEQUER

Said, that what,pver might he the decision UT any
Committee, he should certainly oppose such a
bill.
