'R. T. Linslvtnn, Hun. T. Maitland.
Lord Jinni "tnwnicn,l„,
Sir GIL.BERT HEATHCOTE complained,
that a sufficient number of copies or the pa.pers which
his Majesty bad ordered to be laid before the House
had not been delivered for the use of the Members:
He said giWt irregularity had been manifested in the
n;ode of delivery, and that.he was ecmfident many
of those papers were applied to other purposes than
the information and iise of the Members.
Lord iIAWKESBURY said, he could not pre-
tend to know what other purposes, as mentioned by
the Hon. Gentleman, the papers had been applied to
(a laugh); hilt this he that orders had been
given to deliver a sufficient number for the use of
the House.
Mr. J. C. BERESFORD and Mr. JEKYLL al-
so complained of a sufficient number not having been
delivered.
Lord HAWKF.SBUI2Y contended, that 800
copies bad been brought down in the course of last
ulght,it several times, for the use of the members.
Mr. WARD said,lic did not mean to impute any
blame to the King's Primer; but he was confident.
that several copies had been sold by persons, con-
nefted with that. efiice.
Mr. S'fRAH A IST said, more papers had been
delivered at the bar than was necessary for the use of
all the Members in town.
The SPF.AKER said, there wts no question
before the House. If any motion was intended toil*
made on the subjea, he thought an enquiry in. a
Committee would be the most proper mode.
Mr. SHERIDAN saw no occasion fir a Com-
mittee, the question could be ascertained by examin
hag the Of of the House.
The ATTORNEY GENERAL said, before
they were in the hands of the House, they eere
taken away by persons from the lobby.
Mr. VANSITTART saw them plundered in thef
lobby by Members of the House, (a laugh) as well
as others.
The business then dropped without any motion
hiving been made.
On the motion of Lord CASTLEREAGH, the
East India Shipping Bill was read a second time.
and ordered to be. pruned.
The SECRETARY of WAR brought up the
Bill for providing for the defence of the United
Kingdom of Great-Britaia and Ireland, and the
indemnifying persons who may suffer by the adop-
tion of measures necessary for the same, during thd
present war. Read a first time, and ordered to be
read a.second time to-morrow.
On the motion of Mr. VANSITTART, tie
House resolved itself into a Committee of the
whole House on the Land Tax Redemption Bill.
Mr. ALEXANDER brought up the Report,
and moved that leave be given to bring in a Bill to,
consoliiating certain A&s relative to the sale of thd
Land Tax.



. „ • '
*.

The Highland Emigrant Bill was read a second
time, and ordered to be considered in a Committee
of the whole House to-morrow,
The recommitment of the Soldier's Relict' Bill
was deferred to 'Wednesday nt”.t.
Mr. SHERIDAN, in consequence of the ab-
sence of an Hon. Friend of his, postponed his motion,
respeaing the Middlesex EleEtion, till to-morrow.
The membcrs appointed by ballot as a Seka Com-
mittee to enquire into the merits of the petitions
complaining of an undue return for the lx)rough of
East,Retford, were as follows :
Sir Edw. 1.il111;7Igtell, 1333. Sir Rob:.

G. A. 1.. Keck, Esq.
Mr. GREY said, that in consequence of the re.
fusal he had experienced from the Right Honourable
Gentleman opposite to him, when h-! made a request
yesterday for the prodtultion of certain papers which
' he thought might have been complied with without
any inconvenience, he felt himself obliged to resume
his intended motion, and which he had postponed
with the expettation that the papers to be delivered
might have contained the information he re-
quired. He was by no means sorry that the delay
had taken place ; for on the perusal of the papers
which wore laid before the House, he found there
were a variety of other papers necessary to be pro-
duced in order to be prepared for the important oc-
casion of the motion for Monday next. He ad-
mitted that he had but a short time to peruse the
papers which were laid before the House. But he
should not conceive that lie had done his duty to the
House and the public, if lie did not move for the
papers to which he had alluded, tic did not
Wend to enter much into the subjea at present,
but thought it necessary shortly to observe on the
reasons by which he was influenced ; and he trusted
his motion should appear so obviously necessary,
that no objection could be made to the OroduEtion
of the papers which he required. He by no means
wished to prejudge the question which would be the
subjeft of discussion on Monday next. But there
Was one striking fa. 2 which did not appear in those
papers, but which appeared in the Declaration, that
sttong aias of aggressiou had been committed on
the part of therench Government against this
country ; if this was the case, he bad no hesitation
ire declaring, that he considered it a just ground
for war, It mentions in the :id paragraph of the
