0.1 the Report of the Address to his Majesty, voted yesterday,
being Winton up, Ma. J.' M'DomAto rose and sail, that after
having heard his Ma esty's Speech read from the Chair, and the
debate which e ~ be wasnatoniabed that Ministers should,
for their own sake, refuse to give, not only Parliament, but
the Public, explicit information reqtecting the al fair of Copen-
haTen, which in the pre-cut nista owe he, sad every other person
Who t houttht independently, considet ed mysterious and d Trace-
fol. He then contended, that silence was a proof of their hav-
ing sr informatinn of the Serrot Articles of the Treaty of Tilsit ;
and that Denmark was tacrified to the chimerical dreams of
fatal anticipation, fur it was impossible, if an eagle had down
with the intelligence of tbe Treaty of Tilsit, it could pwsiblv
he in Downing-street before Admiral Gambier appeared off
Copenhagen.
tin. PuLLen, in a few words, defended the policy of crip-
pling Denmark, and wished that " all the birds vs hirh had been
at the Treaty of Tilsit, had been caught by his llajesty's able
aad distinguished Ministers."
II o cxr highly applauded the conduct of the Clothiers
of V orkshire, for petitioning his Nlajesty for peace, as the sen-
timents their petition contained were absolutely wrung from
them by their sullerings.
Ma. M. .1, 'l.4t, r.uN very forcibly censured the conduct of
Ministers in the alfair of Copenhagen. lie then said, that the
Committee nt heeds applied to hint for his advice, but he told
them, in the first installer, be would not harrztss the Govern-
ment of the country. They then applied to him 13 be Chair,
man of their Nleetings, which he declined ; but, notes ithsiand-•
ing, the Clothiers were certainly justified in their proceedims,
they were actuated by direful necessity; they were, he la-
mented to say, starving ; and hute,er will, according to the
proverb, break through a stone wall The late Orders of his
Majesty in Council were lamentably the cause of that calamity
which they now endured, for the Clothiers were indisputably
convinced, that had it nut been for those Orders, their maim-
factures would, its spite of every other obstacle, Mid their way
into every part of the Continent of Europe. lie then very
fbrcibly called upon the Public in general to be unanimous in
petitioning the ing, to dismiss his presersi disgraceful Mini-
sters, who, by their weakness and .wickeduess, invoked this
ceuntry in rain.
'lin. It% S urrtr stated, that there never, in the annals e,f the
world, had occurred such a case as that of Denmark. With re-
gard to Petitions for Peace, he represented a large and populous
city, that of N urss ich, the trade of which had suffered materially
by the war. The citizens of Norwich had consulted himon the
propriety of petitioning the King for Peace, but he had set his
tare against any thing of the kind at present, from an idea that
Ministers were well disposed to negociate, and that they were
as eager for peace as the poor starving manufacturers of that
city. If, however, it turned out, that Ministers had rejected any
proposition--;any means of uegociatiou--eor any thing like an
overture, his objections to petition fur peace would be done
;may, and he should, without any scruple, lend his aid and as-
sistakce to his constituents iu addressing his Majesty in the %%a%
recognized by the Constitution, as the ioherent right at' the
sub-
•je'et.
SEenar.ene eavvrvo, in explanation of w hat he' had
stated last night, said that Ministers received a copy of the
Treaty of Tilsit on the Bth Of August last, but they had infor-
mation of its nature 'owe time before. There was nothing in
tbe public Treatv which adverted to the measures sillnd.4l to in
the Speech deliviired by the Lords Commissioners. Ministers
