PA PEI4I_I!ELAT_ITIL TO COPENHAGEN.

Mr. PONSON BY rose, he said, for the purpose
of giving notice, that he should postpone making
his motion for certain papers relative to the Copen-
hagen Expedition, from Monday next, to the
Wednesday following. Having, upon this occa-
sion submitted to His Majesty's Ministers copies
of the Itesolutions he should 'have the honour of
moving to the House, he thought it now right, in
order t 4 save any sort of unnecessary argoinent
upon his motions, to move for the production of
those papers which His Majesty's Ministers were
disposed to grant, in consequence of their having
considered these Resolutions. By this means, the
debate that would necessarily take place upon
those they were not disposed to ;rant, woulat be of

an unmixed °atom and titt
production of which no ohjectiou
be before the Ilouve a day or two
motiou being brought forward. '

The Ministers having no objection
ducrion of these documents, the e`

Mr. PONSONfIY again rose, and o'
upon a former occasion His Majesty'.
State for Foreign Affairs had expressed

Mr. CANNING expressed his
deavour to produce theta upon that

Mr. WHITBREAD said, that
whom he did not then see in his plat*
reugh), had observed upon the Nee
debate, that a piece of information
(Mr. Whitbread) had iu the course the
was erroneous or false ; he apprehended
could lie no objection to lay the correct
before the House. He shonld,
that Ministers should produce
the transports and other vessels,

hagen to this country ; and also .
instructions given to Admiral Gambier. ,

Mr. WHITBREAD replied, tbat perhaps by
Ministers conferring together upon the subject.
they might frame the productions he now sought
for in such a wanner as to lay- theta before the
House previous to the debate.
We understood the CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHEQUER to add, that he would consult
with his Not?le Friend (Lord Castlereagh) upon the
subject.
COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY. _ _

The House went into a Committee of Supply;
Mr. WHARTON is the Gait;
when Mr. liuskissoa unwed the following Reso-
lutions, which were severally agreed to,
"That the anasiter of iso,ooo men be employed is the in
armies for the year I sue, 11101(110g 31,400 113alioes.
That a sum not exceeding 3,1146,5001 be ®gated la Hie
Majesty for wares fur said seamen, fur 13 month; al the
rate of 11. 175. per au per month
"That the sum of 3,311,0 nut. be ponied for et-matting
them for the same period, at it um. per man per asittith.
" That the sum of 5,170,0001. be grouted for the wear and
tear of ships is which said On are to seam, at the rata of
sl. per was per month."
Mr. TIERNEY here wished, to know whether
any allowance was to be made for the stores
brought from Copenhagen?
Mr. HUSKISSON answered, that no allowance
was made in the Estimates he was now proposing to
the Committee. • _ - -

Mr. TIERNEY " What I expect weethi
be this, that hi tonserpience of the great quaatity
of stores coining to the public service, the .w.t
mates upon that head would be much leas thus
usual. l wish, therefore, to know, if any olive.
uuce is intended to be made upon that account ?"
Mr. H ISSON-0. In pond of money no al-
lowance is to be made."
Mr. TIERNEY—" I wish to know whether
the Estimates of the year are to be as large as
usual?"

Mr. HUSKISSON--. The Estimate upon that
head will be just u larse as formerly."
Mr. TIEKNEY—'. Chen I wish to know, whe-
ther any valuation or statement of the atnount of
these stores is to be laid before the House?"

Mr. HUSKISSON—" I am not prepared to
answer that question. A sum will be proposed to
Parliatoent upon a future day, adequate to make
the purchase from the captors of the stores brought
from Copenhagen ; and tt will be for the House to
determine what will br the manner of disposing of
them. It is thought that a valuation of them will
be made out in the first place, but in respect to the
stores for which provitnon is to be made, there
would he no difference."

Mr. TIERNEY--a. Then I am now to under-
stand, that besides the expense of taking these
stores, the public are yet to pay for them ?
'The CHANCELLOR of the EXCIIEQU'Rft
It is in the view of the Ministry, to reward
those concerned in that Expedition. The estimate
for stores will be such as will be sufficient for the
supply of the year; and, in that case, the stares
that came from Copeishaon will fall to be pur-
chased as part of the Annual Supply. The pro-
perty thereof being in the Crown, it will lee distri-
buted in the manner afterwards iudged iuis,t pro-
"net the sew of .7.ei,soot be panted to His Majiaty f r
Ordnance and Sea Service, on Guard said ships, for 1
months, at 7s. per man pee mouth."
Mr. WARE) stated to the Committee, that thif,
estimate was formerly at' the rate of 53. per man.
per month, but that that rate was found inadequate
to the ev 'tense..
I T the noose resuming, the Report was or-
dered to be received on Monday next. •
