THE NATIONAL TIECTSTER.

The Earl of LivEn POOL was ready to lay the suostaure of the
l'renty between Russia and Sweden below the House, hit could not
the Treaty itself: With respect to our Treaty with Sweduo, he
would eilgage to prove that no principle had been sanctioned by his
Majesty's Government against auv Power, without Maas nig on the
Part of thkeountry and its allies, a le!..itimate eallSO of war ; aod
that they had conformet to what was their imperious duty with re-
ference to the actual state of Europe and the world, on the esta-
blished principles of national honour and goad faith. In regard to
Sweden, there had been, as. far as the period admitted, the most
complete foltilment of the engagements of the Treaty on the part of
the Gout t cf Stockholm.
Aft( r a few remark-, Earl Garli who was not satisfied with the
explawitions given to his questions, the snbiret dropped.
Lord SHEFFIELD moved the second reading of the General lur

Lard SHEFFIELD said, that the object of the Bill was to enable
proprietors to enclose small commons, which would not bear
_the
expeoce of an application to Parliament. there could be no ob-
jection to the principle, and lie was anxious that tt should go to a
Conimit:ve, where it might b" altered and improved.
Lord LAunF found E very much whether the law et-
ponces for •ettling the conteste,l claims of individuals would not
greatly exceed ti'e expellee of an ;application to Parliament.
