the Earl of LIVER rout could not.agree to the Motion of the
Noble Lord, until he was shewn some cause of abuse which
would constitute a fair ground for proceeding to inquiry. He
was ready to adroit, that it was essential to the peace of• the
country that the laws should not only be justly and fairly admi-
nist...red, but that the mode of its administration should be be-
yond suspicim. He felt it his duty to oppane the Motion.
Lord HMI:LAND replied at great length, with his wonted eto
quence and energy, and combated the various arguments that
had been adduced by the several Noble Loth who had spoken
against his motion with great ingenuity and force. In conclu-
stit he observed, if a Bill was now brought up from the other
House upon the subject of information es-officio, he should
self move for leaVe to bring in a Bill to repeal the Act now in
existence on that subject.
The question was than loudly called for, strangers with-
drew, and the House divi4led. The numbers Were as follows :
a—Contents, • lu2 ; Non-Contents 21.—Majority against the
Motion 12.

a second time ; and another for widening and improving of Tem-
ple Bar, which, after being read a first time, was ,ordered a se-

AMERICAN CHARGE D'AFFAIRES.

Mr. Wnyrun A n said, that before the House should hurry
Into its special business, he would Wish to speak a few words,
and ask a question or two of the Honourable Gentleman (the
Chanstellor of the Exchequer) who was then opposite to him.—
It had been held out to the country in his Majesty's Speech,
that every hope was entertained., and that every exertion was
then making, to conciliate the United States of America and
the Kingdom of Great Britain.
C

The C2itA c olt of the Ex cmEquF.Rreplied,that the Arneri.
op Ambassador had an audience of leave, and that he had left
behintl his Charge d' Affairs, who could carry on the diplomatic
part of his .missioniso that the Hon. Gentleman had partly ntis-
taken the meaning which he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer)
had wished to convey. He could assure that Hon. Gentleman,
that though difiesences were not then cemented between the
two countries, he was convinced that there would be a very
happy termination to be expected son.
