THE co PrNitAnEx EXPEDITION.

The Order of the Day was then read, and
LORD D4IINLEV rose to make his promised motion respecting
the justice and morality of the attack on Copenhagen. This
subject has already been so often discus.cd, that nothing new
could well he offered upon it; and accordingly there via% scarcely
a new point struck out in the course of the debate. The Noble
Lord concluded kith moving an addre,s to His Majesty, setting
forth the injurious tendency of that measure, to prove the ne-
cessity of which t.!?*. documents laid on the table w •.s- holly
imperfect and un.atisfactory.
Immo ELLior rose to oppose the Address. So far ft om any
fair ground existing in support of such an Address, to him it ap-
peared that there was al'mdant cause to command, instead of
censuring the conduct !if Ministers in that respect. The Noble
Lord took a survey of all the circumstances which past marked
the transaction, and concluded with reading a Resolution of up-
probation, which it was his intention to tome, if the Address
moved by the Noble Earl should be negatived.
Loup Ilott.txu spoke at great length in support of the Ad-
dress.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 29.
LORD LAKE.
Loan C.ISTLERE.4GIi moved the Order of the Day for the
Rouse to resolve iuto a Committee to take into consideration his
litajesti's Message, requesting the house to make provision for
the family of the late Lord Lake. The Speaker having left the
('hair, Lord Castlereagh addressed the Committee. lie stated
that he now came forward with a Resolution, in obedience to
the King's Message, and he trusted there would be little ditli-
rti:ty in persuading the Committee to agree to what he should
propose, as such grants had always been the practice of Par-
liament to bestow, especially upon men distinguished for splen-
did military abilities.—These abilities having been crowned
ith success. Lord Castlereagh went on to describe the heroic
achievements of Lord Lake, in early life, in America; in
Europe, at Linerlles ; and finally, in Asia. After eulogising
merits, he stated, that with regard to the female part of
all Lake's family, his Lordship had left them little or nothing,
'5004 a-year. consideration, however, of his Lordship's
iosteminent Services having been displayed, in India, in 1803,
it was intended to propose a pension of 2,0001. per annum to
he present Lord Lake, and to the two next heirs male, and to
slake this pension payable, troth the 11th of September, 1803.
l'hisarrear would make the proper arrangements for the female
tart of the family. After that Resolution should be carried,
le should follow it up by another, for an Address to his Majesty,
Ambling him to order a Monument to be erected, to perpetuate
;the memory and seri ices of Lord Lake.
MR. IV lIITEIREAD objected to the Resolution. lie observed,
-a the Noble Lord seemed to have laboured the matter much,
id it such a reward was necessary now, how much more ne-
;ay was it in 1803, w hen Lord Lake was alive and suscepti-
'e of enjoying the dignities conferred on him, and the liberality
