THE LATE CORRESPONDENCE WITH FRANCE.
Lord HOLLAND, as soon as he saw the Earl of Liverpool enter the
House. said, that now, seeing the Noble Secretary hi his place, and
being desirous of possessing informatioo on the subject of the propo•i-
tions for Peace made by the French Government last April, he w.s
earnest to learn trout that Noble Person, Whether the documents which
have appeared in the public Newspapers here, these last two days,
were authentic or not ?
The Earl of L tvEßroot. answered, that he was extremely ready and
willing to give the Noble Lord the information he required, and he
could assure him they were authentic. That the propositions made to
this Government by that of France were verbatim those which have so
appeared these last two days in the public
,fi,urnals of this country.,
and he trusted, that when these documents were regarded, and toe

shoulders, of preserving inviolate, the honour and dignity, as well a:
character of the British empire. It was impossible to receive sto
propositions without for ever disregarding every duty that, as a
we owed to allies the most fallitul and oppres see--a situation
which he was convinced this Monarchy would never be placed in.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE then enquired whether any subsequent
communication had been made to the Government or this cohort), h.
that of France, since that to which his Noble Friend Lord Ilu:lat,o,
had alluded ?
The Earl of L t v ER poor. replied, not any whatsoever.

second reading of the Bill to regulate the laws re pccting Ex-()ilk t.,
ntnrinations. He prefaced his motion with a variety of observations
on the various hardships endured by those who are liable to such ph.,
secutions, stating the necessity of altering the practice as it rici,a sea.o,
and concluded by stating, that the Bill, which he no,N intended to, tn.
troduce, was one niei•ely of regulation. h left all the I.urooses
which these informations were institute.', untouched. 1: did
