POLITICAL El iIATS Or THR frifiß Ir.

The attention of the Public has this week been chiefly
engrossed by the Meeting of Parliament. Thv Address,
by pointedly bringing forward the most important and
most disputed political topics, has at once called forth all
the energy of the Opposition. The chief point against
which they have directed their attacks is the affair of Co,.
penhagen : and the refusal of Ministers to give any direct
proof that they had received previous information of the
hostile disposition of Denmark, Worded them a scope too
ample for censure and invective. It had been reported,
that there existed some difference of opinion on this head
between the Members of Opposition ; but the contrary
was very clearly demonstrated, by the energetic and de,
tided disapprobation expressed by Lord GREN %ILIA:, of the
measures adopted by Ministers. It is still more worthy of
remark, that Lord SuomouTil, who has always been noted
for the coincidence of his sentiments with those of Ills M.L-
JesTv, expressed his disapprobation of the attack un Co
peuhagen, with a degree of Vehemence and acrimony
which his Lordship seldom employs. This circumstance,
might give rise to some speculations, especially as Ills ALA-
JESTY'S reluctance to the measure has not been concealed
but Lord IlAwarsauar, whose conneetion with the court
remains unimpaired, strenuously defended its propriety .
The Opposition did nut chuse to try their strength against
the Address, and therefore it was carried in both t!ouses
without a division : but a Protest has since been entered on
the Journals of the Lords by several Peers, against that
clause in the Address approving the attack of Copenhagen,
because nu proof had been brought of any hostile intent ien
on the part of Denmark, nor any case of necessity made
out. Lord ERSKINE, in addition to the reagons adduced l'v
others, has entered into a detail of his °yin reasons : he has
examined the quesfion by the law of nations, and minutely
considered the respective conduct of the British and
Courts : from all which he concludes, that " Until this at..
" tack on Copenhagen shall receive Vindication by proof of
" its justice, or condemnation in the absence of it, from
" the Parliament of Creat Britain, she has lost her morel
" station in the world, since the very system of wrong anti
" violence, which she has so long confederated Europe. te.
" destroy, at the expenre of her blood and rmources, nig
" have been established and confirmed by her own exam-
" pie." ripe important Protests we have inserted.

The official accounts have been published of the sur-
render of Madeira into our hands, as a deposit during thk.
war. This is a matter of some consequence to this country.
but of far more to the island, which derives its whole
opulence from its wine trade with Britain. had it fallek
into the hands of our enemies, its inhabitants oust have,
been ruined; and we cannot, therefore, wonder that the ar-
rival of the British troops should have been so heartily
welcompd. To this country, it might have been of some
disadvantage had Madeira fallen into the hands of the
enemy ; but we can scarcely derive any new benefit from
its possession. It ;ands no room whatever for wercantile
