Lord CASTLEREAGH said that he rose for the
purpose of moving that the Order of the Day fur
resuming the discussion on the papers sea down to
the those by his blaj•stc, should be read, in order
to postpoue it until Fr:rtay next. In doing this,
he trusted that the llouse would see the necessity
of his withholding any information as to what past-
ed upon this very important and delicate subject,
and of his refusing to say a single word, besides
those which might lie necessary fur him to use in
entreating the House to keep their minds and im-
pressions iu precisely the sums state as they were
at present, until the littlest eiplasistion could be
given, without danger Or iticonveuieuce.—(Cries
of /pear, hear.)-41e proposed to put the dis-
cussion off till Friday. that being a more con-
veisient day than Thursday. There would be a
drawing-room on Thursday ; and it might be ne-
cessary for the convenience of the Horne to adjourn
over that day. He had, therefore, preferred fixing on
Friday, rather than have to adjourn the subject from
day to day, as there might be an urgent necessity
fur going on with it afterwards with all convenient
►peed, as indeed it was not in the nature of such a
subject that it could he delayed for any length of
time. While the necesion offered, he would also
request of the Noble Lord, whose motion on the
Grawspeund Bill stood for this day, to exercise that
obliging disposition which he had already freque.it-
ly shewn with regard to this very Bill, and post-
pone its consideration till a future day. This re-
quest he made in consequence of the very import-
ant affairs of state which occupied Alinisters at
present, preventing them from giving that atten-
tion to the motion of the Noble Lord's, which the
interests of the country so imperiously demanded
of them.

Sir 4. W. RIDLEY felt that the House would I'e
quite confident that he did not intend to U 1111.00,4
by a single observation the advice which had been
gm.' by the Noble Lord. But in rising to express
his wishet that all parties out of the House, as well
as M it, would preserve a rigid abstinence horn all
rumours or observations tending in the least degree
to the disadvantage of either of the illustrious
parties concerned. lie meant also to recommend to
those who were immediately engsged in the conduct
of this very delicate and d►fficult business to abstain
from► publishing any thing that was doily in the
course of transacting it.—/hear.)—tie need not
eels r to the experience of Members to remind them
what evil effects were likely to spring out of any at-
tempts. by direct or indirect publication, to pre-
judice the cause of either of the Illustrious parties.
He hoped that in the future commerce or inter.
CJIMIC relating to this very delicate subject every
thing would be kept secret except to the parties tnr
gaged its managnig it.
Mr. BIYUGH•Y was signally anxious with the
Noble Lord or his Hun. Friend as to the necessity
of abstaining from any observations there or in any
other place on the very important and delicate sub-
