IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS:
THURSDAY, MAY 26.
The several bills upon the table were forwarded
in their respective stages.
THE NEGOTIATIONS.
Lord BATHURST, previously to the House
proceeding to the order of the d 4 y, wished to. Sul,-
mit it to the candour of the Noble Lord (E. Fitzwil, -
Liam) who gave* notice .on a late hour on Friday .
last,. that he meant this dayto bring, forward a M 0.... .3 :Az
tion respeeting the documents now r)efore the House, •
on the subject of the late Negotiations, whether* ••
under all the circumstances, he would not consent
to defer it. The Noble Lorddid not 'accompany hii
motion with the usual explanation of what the na- •
tore and tendency of it would be, Which was the
usual mode of proceeding, and considered to he no
more than candour, at least, towardi those • who
might be not materially affected by it. Their
Lordships, therefore, were deprived of the means of
previous consideration, and could not all have come
with minds sufficiently prepared for the discussion.
It should further be considered, that the pagers
themselves were exceedingly voluminous, and em-
braced a variety of important subjeets, any one of
which was worthy a distinct and serious investiga-
tion. The fitets and circumstances contained in them
Were, in a great measure, new, or, at least, had not
before been known to most of their Lordships, or
to the public ; and it was highly important to the
country, that Parliament sould most maturely deli-
berate, before the subjectshould be finally decided.
He therefore hoped, that the Noble Lord would not
press the House to a determination for which they
were not all fully prepared, and which might turn
out to be precipitate.
Lord CAMDEN earnestly supparted the appli-
cation made to the candour and fairness of the Noble
Lord, who, he was sure, would not be inclined to
take any parties at disadvantage, and would, no
doubt, relied, that, though the Ministers might, for
their own parts, be ready to meet any discussion or
enquiry, there were many Noble Lords in a very dif-
' ferent situation. Added to all this, Some of the pa-
pers necessary to inform their judgments had not
been presented till yesterday, and others perhaps re-
mained yet to
.be moved for, all of which it'would
be necessary for them well to consider • before they
could decide upon the coeduet of his ilajesty's Mi-
nisters, or do what justice required of them to do,
between them and the country.
The LORD CHANCELLOR having left the
woolsack, said, that all he should say upon the sub-
jeet was, that, in the present state of the Country, to
, come to any hasty or premature decision might be
attended with the most unfortunate consequence:..
As to the order and regular course of proceeding,
he said, the general rule was, when any Noble Lord
gave notice of a motion, to state what the objet
of it would be, but by no means to go any farther,
or so as to draw arty argument or inference lions
it. The order of proceeding, indeed, did not
oblige them to state the general intention, nor in-
deed to give any notice at all ; but, it was a prac-
tice dietated hy convenience, and founded in fair-
ness to others, who may be concerned, as well as
those who may be desirous of ieformitig themselves
upon the subje3, before they voted on it. The or-
der, however, was peremptory, in regard to not ex-
ceeding the notice.
The Duke of MONTROSE also deprecated any
premature discussion, or' the House being precipi-
tated into a decision on a subject of such importance.
There had not yet been time to examine documents
so very numerous, to compare them with each
other, and apply them to a judgment on the line
of conduei, which Ministers were, or were not, justi-
fiable in pursuing. By a delay, even of a few days,
the Noble Lord would be sure of having the itahj;et
better &Komi than-he could eve& to be to-mor.

Earl FITZWILLIAM said, that he had men.
tioned on Friday night, all that he intended to
-have said on the occasion, or that he considered by
.any means necessary. The discussion of that even-
ing wits sufficient-toprepare them for all he meant
