POZITIC.:L E.\'/'S TU 11. 1:1:1:.

On Monday another interesting debate took place in tile.
Douse of Lor,ls, ou the motion of the Duke of Noafilf.h:
for certain papers illustrative of the expedition to Copen-
-,zi;;e.n. There were two novel features in the discussion of
flat night. Marquis WELLESLLY, for the first time since his
return from India, took a share in the debate, and in an
elaborate speech defended the conduct of Ministers on
the attack on the Danish c apical. As his arguments,
however, presented merely the defence which hes been so
often repeated, it is unnecessary for us to load the suliject
with superfluous commentary. The other extraordinary
circumstance in the debate, was. one of much more im-
portance; the statement of the sentiments of Lord (Iry-
rut NsoN, 10-105 C hill: situation rendered him master ofkilow
ledgc so peculiarly interesting for the decision of this
mentous question. As the narrative which he delivered of
the instructive conferences which he held with the I', tier-
non of Russia, the one subsequent to the treaty of Tilsit,
the other to the arrival of intelligence respecting the bom-
bardment of Copenhagen, forms the subject of the poli-
tical disquisition in the first columns of this Paper, we
have no occasion here to extend our remarks.

The property which accrues to His MAJESTY from cer-
tain captures made at sea, has come under the discussion
of Parliament, as this property has hitherto been exempt
from the controul of Parliament; as it appears, that in a }:ro-
tracted and complicated war like that in which we have ball
so long involved, this property may rise to a very great
amount ; and as it is a N ital principle of the Constitution, that
no considerable sums should remain at the disposal of t he
ecutive Power, exempt from the conironl of Parliament, all
parties seem to have joined in approving of the inquiry
into the amount and application of this moixv, ti;ou;:,h
some diabrence existed as to the mode in which it should
take place.

Accounts have beenreceived of the capture of the Danish
West-India Islands. This, however, is not a subject of
peculiar triumph. They offered no resistance ; and though
they may be of some weight in the scale of compensation
in the event of a negotiation for peace; they arc, in the
mean time, of injury to us rather than advantage. The
presNA disastrous circumstances in which our own West-
India Islands arc placed, arises from the great accessions to
our West-indift cultivation, which have, during late years,
been made in consequence of the possession of the ceded
Islands. More produce has by this means been raised than
could well be disposed of; and the price, by consequences
