We. is jail/trite esimmetstr of Lard Howick, as

.0 his selseiesu. The present SecretatrY
mew emleavourieg to lead the 'Heise very hand:
meneiy, lied indeed he had formerly rheum such to
example of this disposition, as was never before at-
; tempted in this House. He (Mr. Catlin* had
told the House, es explicit terms, H If you do not
vote in that way, you Auk be dissolved." How
could the opinion of the blot Ministry justify the
conduct of the present one? The opinion formed
might vcry net:wally be exceedingly different from
that which ought to have been formed by the other.
Matters might change by the very -next post, and
the person who wrote from Denmark might see
things totally changed. Such a motion es the
present one, *hewed how little reliance was to be
placed on Ministers.
Lord CAIMPEEREOIII said, that the dispo•itioti of
the Opposition was becoming more and more eCi-
dent., and they appeared rather to have a taste for
any sort of discuselea or argument than for this bu-
amen of the Home. They joined issue *you any
Ileela and showed themselves to he se evasive and
titans, that it was almost Unfeasible to grapple
with theta, They had made a distinct charge,
agiviest his Right Hon. Friend 6f having read•
Lrbirsatiate, calculated to convey a medning-
enied can
t from the remaisider of the letter, and a

different impression from the truth. It winnowed,
therefore, for his Right Honourable Friend to feel
anxious to refute such a charge. This was all that
was wanted by the mottos that had been made
wale* sadly asouglit that- the paid VOW-1e
hist" the Iyalesa of political warfare was founded
ups,. It was for no other purpose than the delay
of ppbfic business, at the expense of the character
of Ministry. They called for obsolete Correspond-
awe, of no use, and said that that which was
'sowed for the purpose of the public service and
justification. was annececary. He did Wok
that Lewd Howick's letter to Mr. Riest would shear,
that Isit was not much at ease as to the hostile mind
of Denmark.

Mr. SIISRIDMI-.-" NV lien I found tbeßight Hots.
Secretary submitting a motion, without assigning
any 'Tautest to support it, I did not think he
was acting prudently; bet wises I have heard his
two friends upon each side et him doing their ut-
most to give those moons and arguments which
they posses, I do applaud that taciturnity in the
mover, and I believe he would have wished those
two friends to have observed a like taciturnity. I
agree w ith them, that the. House should rat&
its owe honour, and if so, I trust the: House
will take care this dav, and not follow the advice
given them by thp Motile Lord. I defy him to
state either a public or a private ground, existing
formerly against the motion for these papers,
which did not exist at present. He sap', it is
to oiviote a direct calumny. That calumuy was
as • strongly urged.by my Right Honourable
Friend, at the nine of tie former `lotion, as it is
now, and I am sure that we are following very good
authority when we consider the person who Alit
called the public attention to it. He says we are
not cputeut with the papers he wishes to produce,
bat that we call for obsolete correspondence; bet
span this I may observe, that that is our complaint
ergrim hiss, aa • ire-well-fer. firms epreeel 'wag-
reser to the Copenhagen expedition than those he
is propoaing to produce. It is a little coleus that
anther vs any reproaches in this House. nor
insiuumsans out of doort, nor epos the direct mo-
tions of lay Bight flo.s. Friend near me, the Right
Hon. Secretary ,oald come down to give those
papers. The of the day for that former mo-
tion has been read in order to expose the extraor-
dinary conduct of the Right Hon. Gentleman.—
Besides his character, he did not seem to advert
that there were two others concerned, and requited
equal justificatioa—l mean those of Earl Grey and
Mr. Garlick& Does he tbink that these papers
will clear any one of those chassetars ? Pio! he
wishes to clear only himself, and be stoves for no
other poi.ers but precisely those mane ones from
which he had raid extracts, namely, the Corres-
pondence of Earl Grey and Mr. Gadicke. He has
made the people and the Cosrt of Copenhagen be-
lieve, that Mr. Garlick* acted artfully and hypo-
critically all that time, and yet be will not pro-
duce that which will justify hue. I should like
to know the date of the letter of Lord How-
ick to Mr. Garlicke, in 1806, and whether be
will consent to produce Mr. Garlicke's answer ?
If it can be thaw° that whatever hostile rumours
had reached Mr..Garlicke, they were afterwards
wholly tolnoved from his mind, is it acting fairly
tones& Mr. Garlicke to sappress that material
part of the correspondence ? This motion should
be accompanied with farther information that will
justify Earl Grey, and, above all, Mr. Garbage;
and I shall therefore propose, es as amendment to
the motion, that there be added the words—" Ter
gether with the substance and dates of all is. I
formation transmitted by His Majcstv's Minister,
at Copenhagen, at any period during last year, re-
spectiog the hostility of Denmark."
Mr. Basses thought the motion ought not, is its
preseut state, to meet the approbation of the
House. He conceived the Papers.requir,d to be
produced, were, on a former occasion, moved for
by an Hes. Gentleman near bin, arid were reflood ,
to be gives.
Mr. Secretary Calmed; conceived the present
nictioa to be totally distinct from the one alluded
to, and could not help thinking that the object of
the opposition to it wrap to protract the business of
the Howe.
Mr. Tsaaaav moored the Hon. Secretary it was
not the object nosiest aosesessary delay. He bad
no objection to postpone the present gaeltama, to
give way to the bunion that stood for dm night.
Mr. Alma would mat take up the time of the
House unnecessarily. He weft however, warprised,
that the Moo. Secretory sboald have ma Assisted
from the usual forms or notion, as be had done on
the present occasion. Rhea he gave wake of
this motion last sight , be dN set sure the exact
substance of it, oat homing Acme so, did cer-
tainly not bring a questa. of was irocirtassee as
