The !Marquis a! I.ON LR DERRY by on m•ana Wished

Mr. A BERCROM BY did not say, though be 'opposed it,
that the House declined inquiry jib the ease,by the de. Won
of the other eight. He was glad to hod that there was no
irenrhesive objection.
The LORD ADVOCATE did not object to the Petition,
nor would ha oppose inquiry. All he asked was, for the
House --t• suspend judgment, ,sod that the statement made
Might not be held as unquestionably tree. He admitted tbst
his information bad bees very imperfect ; but he believed
that the warrant by which Borthwiek bad been taken was
prepared as •Il other warrants of the same kind, sod re-
quired him to be lodged in the next secure gaol. It was by
his own ri quest that he bed Ines removed to Edinburgh. He
believed that when the judicial document' were before the
House they would be quite satisfied with the cooduel of
those who sere now arraigned ; but be entreated them to
litispend their judgment till all the iuformatioo was before
them. He was far Into declining the responsibility which
atisched to Lim front the conduct of his Deputies.
Lord DINNING, as connected by ties of relationship
with one of the Genilemen implicated, did net wish to stifle
Inquiry. All be asked was patient sod deliberate inquiry,
and for the House to withhold judgment until all the info:.
'Ration was before them. There had been already sufficient
uggravation is the slatemeot ; sufficient asaumptiou of fang
aid of law, which he trusted ureold be entirely erased from
their memories before they commencedjumeiry.
Mr. BROUGHAM joined is the same appeal. As at

tea.:snclinos, it was oily proper that those who acre to judge

their minds rued of any impression at all unfavourable to
the psi ties. Those persons were now on their trial, and it
sores only right that the trial shonld be conducted with- the

be marvel that forty.eight hours ago none of this light

not, that the House were wilting to allow inquiry, and that

He protested, however, against admitting the doctrine of tbs.

The Marquis of LON DON MOIRE repeated that he was

Lord A. H• M I LTON complained of a most roes miare-

It had berm his wisteriase that he did dose. The goodwill

public. Was it fair for the Li arard Lord afterwards to use

Mr. A agßotom BY would move for thejtadicisl papers,
the production of which wowed do much; het they would
avail comparatively little without the aid of parole evidesee.
The truth of that, however, mast rest for the present on his
ststemeot. He knew: what course to take in reapeet to

The LORD ADVOCATE did sot wish to elms the re-

Mr. A BERCROM BY was about to move for the judicial
papers, but was induced, from the areusidg rehremeree et tbe
MOWS to dwell longer opera the subject, for the reseal to

MASSACRE OF THE GREEKS.
Mr. W. Sutra wished to put • question to the
Noble Marquis upon a subject which must be
deeply interesting to all Europe. There were ru-
mours is the newspapers of to-day, of transactions
at Constantinople, which had filled the breast. of all
who read them with horror, sod were most silictimg
to many perious in this country who were really in-
terested. He only wished that the Noble Marquis
wou'd be kind enough to say if Government had
received any official accounts of those atrocious
traiissctious to which he alluded _

The Marquis of LONDONDERRY stated, that they
had received information that ten or twelve persons
had been executed at Constantinople. but the par-
ticular facts or reasons had not come to band.
They were unquestionably calamitous circum-
stances, which had arisen from painful and bar-
barous acts committed ott both sides, chielly in the
island of Scio. The severity of the proceedings et
Constantinople had iu ull probability amen from
thence, but Goverunieut had no positive informa-
tion upon the subject yet.
Mr. W. SMITH said, that they were nett 12 or
15 execations mentioned in the accounts, but 80
o► 90; it appeared that at least 85 had suffered
death. The public would hardly be brought to
believe that such transactions did take place ; but
lie was informed by a person now in London, who
was in the town at the time, though his feelings
would not allow hiss to-be in eye witness of it, that
the Turks in one instance actually impair(' six per-
sons alive, whose only offence coosisted in being left
as hostages in their hands.

Sir J. MACKINTOSH wished to know if the die.
patches of the Noble Marquis cootoinctl any repnrt
of the number of persons murdered by the cruel
trants of Constantinople, who had surrendered
themselves under the security of the British Govern-
ment protecting them ? He wished to know also if
it was true that the markets of Constantinople and
Smyrna had been crowded with Greek ladies and
children. effered ss slaves, to be at the caprice and
mercy of barbarous and voluptuary Mahometens—
was it the fact that amiable rod siceomplished
Christian females were exhibited for sale in this new
species of slave trade ?
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY declared, that
Government had no means at present fur satisfying
such an inquiry, end it was quite impossible that
the Huose could be benefited by pursuing it fur.

or ninety put to death. as he •did not kuow how
