DANISH SHIPS.

Lord Sumatra-Ft rose to state the outline of the
• motion he intended to-bring forward on Friday next,
respecting the fate that awaited the ships, cargoes,
and crews, of such Danish ships and vessels as were
brought in by force or had come voluntarily into the
ports of Great Britain, previous to.any declaration of
war against Denmark. He did, so in compliance
with the request which the Noble Secretary.(Lord
Hawkesbury), and some other Noble Lords, had
• made to that effeet. In looking over the Papers on
the table, he found that the Danish ships brought
in, and that had come in under these Circumstances,
had amounted to the number' of about :3,40. It was
his intention .to follow up the Motion which he
should submit to their Lordships, with several Reso-
lutions' some of Addresses' to his Majesty, to sus-
pend the proceedings on these'captur,:s, or to pre-
vent the proceeds of those condetnip:4lfrom being
diverted to any purpose before the of. the
owners had been heard; many of whom were 80,
tish subjeas ; and also that thexrews ntid passen-
gers in such ships as had come in voluntarily should
be set at liberty wider such conditions as to his
Majesty's wisdom should, seem meet,, The other
Resohnions have for their objet. to ascertain
the opinion of the l'lottse on the waiters of fait he
should have the honotir of laying betur~i them.
RREVERSIONARY GIZ .

Lord I-LvwxesuonY moved the Ordee oitbe Day
for the second reading of the Bill to Suspect', for a
time to be limited, the power of granting Places In
Reversion. In moving that the Bill be noW read. a
' second time, his Lordship said, he should trouble the.
House. with bet a few observations. It was no doubt
unnecessary to recall to their Lordships' recolleaion
the principle and the provisions of the two Bills
which, professing somewhat of a similar object, had
been brought up from the other House, one of them
last, the other in the present Session.' These
purpui fed to be grounded on recommendations from
the• Throne, and the latter of them' be had himself
moved might be allowed to go into a Conunittee, in
order thk some of the objections urged against its
provisions might be removed,,and the Bill so shaped
as to meet their tordohips' approbation, It was no
doubt equally unnecessary to say that both Bills had
been rejetted by,the House.' The Bill now heibre
their Lordships materially differed, both in its
principle, the preamble, and its provisions, from
tllose that have preceded it. The objea of Ate
former Bills was undefined; they•,L.rested on a

general propositiiin and no satisfaraery, giound
had been adduced why their Lordships should adopt
them. The present Bill was narrowed in its opera-
thin, and instead of going generally to the
,suppres-
sion dd pfaceet in reversion, it only pioposed to sus-
. pend, tor a shorter period than. was proposed in the
former Bill, the power,of granting such reversions.
Whether the power of granting places in 'reversion
did not exercise the inthience of the Crown, he
should not pow stop to argne. In his individual'
opinion, it rather diminished, than ik rased that
iufluence. But of the present Bill he might well ,
say, there appeared but very little neee,sity tOr it.
Nothing was More unlikely than that while :lie Cunt.
mittee of the other House Was sitting, front whose
resolution, at the recommendation.of the Crown,
tho present measure originated, Ministers would
advise his Majesty to grant tlioreversion olanysuch
places as the Committee had in their contemplation..
In propoAng, however, to suspend the powers of
thel;row n in this respect, a distinction,he.thought
thould be ken between suspendiog-that powet al-
together, and allowing it to be exercised under cer-
tain cirettmstaecesr and with a certain distinctiom-
. it was now proposed only to suspend it for a very
'bhort period, and merely to Miami; time to the Corn-
mittee of the other House so far . to prosecute their
inquiries* as to enable them to state what was .likely
to be the ultimate result,of these inquiries, Tinder
that supposition, he hoped there would be
,no oh-
jection to the second readidg of the Bill.
Lord ttroesust.a could not refrain from renew-
ing his objections to the Bill. The alterations made
in its preamble' and provisions were by no tileanS of
o nature to render it less objectionable to his eyes
on the contrary, they added weight to every obiec.;
• lion he before entertained against the Measure.—
Conneaing the obje& ,of the present -Bill with the
rumours that were in circulation respe&ing the fur-
t her obje.ati which the framers of. it bad, in view, he
• could not but consider it as the first attempt at re-
forms which, if not seasonably rejected, must end
in the subversion of the Constitution. What were
the grounds Offered to their Lordships for acceding
to the measure ).• Why, that the other House of
rarliAment were occupied in inquiries into what re-
forms they might think it expedient to make; and
"without informing their Lordshiplrof the precise na-
ture of those reforms, or of the extent to which it
was intended to carry them, their Lordships: were
called upon to assent to the present Bill.
,I-fe must
warn their Lordships, that if they did assent to it,
they would destroy the balance which upheld the
Constitution ; their own privileges anti power would
go 'with the prerogatives of the Crown ;' the House
of Commons must get possession of twiny power, and

thus the Constitution of ing, 1..6tbd3, and Commoill,
must sink into a Republi.c.. This was an experiment,
to try the resolntion of. their I..ordships4 Pat he
trusted.thuflouse would manifest their firmness, and
resist it. • lle at least would take this opportunity of
entering his protest against it, as pregnant with the
most mischievous consequences.
Lord Gaosv RNOR,did not .rise to.defend the House
of Commaes; lot', in the present instance he was
—Coffiiiiiced 014 Ifad'aeled in thesmoSt COns*tienal
manner. The }present 11111 fell altogether short of
his expalations, and in his opinion it must prove
,wholly inefleetual. It was his wish that the House
`should have adopted 'it in its origin's! form ; but
soOner than no :step whatever should. be talien to
answer the: expeaations of the people, he would
support the Bill, inefficient as it was. The House
must be sensible how heavy' was the load of taxes,
and how severe the sacrifices under which the coun-
try was now labouring; they must also be sensible
how forcibly the people had expressed their opinion
of the necessity of such a measure, avid how una-
nimous was the expression of that Opinion in the
metropolis and, elsewhere. What unpopularity,
therefore, and, indignation must attend its rejection,
especially when all eudy so frittered down in its op&,
ration; in order to meet the wishes of that House.
He was really at a loss to conceive upon whSt
grounds it could be fairly opposed ; and he sincerely
belieVed, that its. opposers wuuld not avow their
real motives, which he feared much had tar their
main object the fru•tration of every attempt to re-
form abuses. He had heard a Noble Lor.l (Moira),
on .a former occasion, endeavouring "to defend these
abuses, on the grim(' that they had long existed,
as if the antiquity of an abuse Was a reason to justify
its continuance. Sneh reasons should have no
Weight,with him,
,and he would entreat their Lord.
ships not to incur the odium which the 6061i0n of
the present 'Bill cannot fait to excite.
Lord Motu a defended, himself against the impu-
tation of, being a supporter of such systems- of abuse
as,the Noble Earl had allUded to. He believed,
that neither for himself, nor for any persciti connect-
ed with him, had Ire ever solicited any of the 'good
things arising from what the Noble Earl thought
proper to style abuses. But the 'Noble Earl should
recellet-fi, that he merely assumed be question, and
had offered no argument whatever in Support of his
assomption. The Noble Lord then recurred to the
'reasons he had stated on a former occasion against
.the adoption of the Bill ; the power of which it
would 'deprive the Country, was a pbWer held by
the Crown, nut for the:Wen:4on of its 'own in-
fluence, but for the benefit of the peeple; and with

that intention had the Constitution intrusted it to
the Crowne The Bill did not tend to any real radi-
i cal'reform that would alleviate the burthens of the
I people. It was Merely a delusion ; a tub to the
I whale ;- and meant perhaps only to divert their at-
Itention from those
_plans which aggravated the real
burthens._ under which the people groaned, and
which the framers of this,Bill had adopted, as spe-
cious measures of finance. He did not fear that
kind of unpopularity with which the Noble Earl had
threatened the House. They would have to expe42
the real indignation of the. Country, who attempted
to dehide them by such measures as the present ;
and that indignation 'would, no doubt, burst forth as
soon aS the people discovered the thlusioe that WAS,
now promising upon thou'.
Lord MORTON argued on the an side with Lord
BEDESDALR, and warned the Ilouse of the insidi.
ous. attempts that were making to undermine their
order, and their weight and influence in the ,State.
Lord kat,enwry observed, that it was unnece‘sary
for him, to made any reply to the Nobic and Ltarn-
ed Lord (Redesdale) or the Noble Lord who had just
sat down, The speech of his Noble Friend near
him (Lord Moira) had completely answered the
Noble and Learned LON 4 for though they both
were adverse to the Bill, the arguments adduced by-
both against it were as different, nay, as opposite
as could possibly be imagined. The Noble. and,
Learned Lord contended; that. the was the be-
ginping of reforms, that must end in the ruin of the
constitution. His,Noble Friend, an the other band
asserted, that it would ' not be produCtive of reform
at all, and would only mock the people with a
shadow of reform, while their real grievances pressed
upon them as IteA‘;'y as ever. Indeed the
far from being such as he could wish it to- be, lie
should, however, supportit, and.hail it as a com-
plete vi6lory and triumph, not over any abuses it
professed, to.correer, but over that unavowed junto,
that secret influence, which had so frequently been
fatally exerted during the present reign, -and which
always'displayed its ailivity in frustrating every, mea-
sure intended ter the benefit of the people. God
turbid that Ministers, in giving their support to the
present Bill; should
.do so from any compromise
with that junto that would prove injurious to the
claims of a large portion of his Majesty's subjects in
another Kingdom. He had Iris fears on this subjeet,
when be observed how certain Noble Lords con-
ducted themselves on the present oct,losion. Nothing,
however, should induce him.tollatard the J)assing
of the Bill, by proposing any amendment to it ; as
he'valued more the vii ory the passing of it would be
attended with, than the result of any amendniant he
could possibly.get acceded to.
Lard Somans joined in exulting in the viCtory now
obtained over that secret influence which had so
often proved pernicious to the country, and against
which he hoped he should ever raise his voice, as he
now did.

The question was now 'generally called for, and

the motion tot the second reading was agreed to
without a division, and the Bill ordered to be com-
mitted to-morrow.—Adjourned.

MESSAGE FROM HIS MAJESTY.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER brought
down a Message from the King, which was read by
the 'Speaker, and which was in substance as fol-
lows , .
• GEORGE R.

" His Majesty finds it necessary to state to the House of
Commons, that in consequence of the disastrous defeat of
the Prussian arms in Augitst 1806, attended with the'melan.-
dully death of the then reigning Duke of firunsWick, and'the'
subsequent occupation of his territory by the enemy, His. Ma-
jesty's Sister, the widow of that illustrious Prince, was corn.
pelted to seek an asylum in his Majesty's dominions. • ima
madiately on her arrival, an, establishment was provided for
her by his Majesty, .suited to her high rank; to the
misfortunes which 'she had experienced, and to the ten-
der ;illation which his Majesty entertained for 'her. The
expenses of, this establishment were defrayed out of the
Civil List, ant consequently no provision • exists for
rendering it permanent ; his Majesty therefore recohitrierids
it to the House to take the subject' into their consideration ;
and his Majesty relies on the loyalty and affection of his
faithful Commons, that they will make a provision by.whlch
'his Majesty may be enabled to gratify his peksenal
in a case in which they are so deeply interested."
On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EX-
CIMQUBI:, his Majesty's most gracious Message was
reiered to the Committee of Supjily. •

• SIR HOME POPHAM%
Mr. LUSI“NGTON, after observing that he under-
stood no objection would be made to the produCtionr
of the Paper, moved, "That there be laid before
the House, a Copy, of the Proceedings in the Coen
of King's Bench, in the cause of Paxton and Others
versus Cochrane and others.
Sir Home POPIJANI Jose,. and addressed the •
House in a very low tone of voice, for which lie apo-
logised by observing; that he had long been confined
by a serious inflammation in his lungs; from the ef-
feets of whiCh he had scarcely yet recovered.- Un-
derstanding, however, that, the Honourable.- Gen-
tleman opposite was anxious to' have a decision on
his Motion,. to which decision the House did titot
think •they could consistently come . in his (Sir
Home Popham's) absence, ho bad waved all per-
sonal considerations, deeming his attendance' a
paramount duty, and relying on the liberal r"its-
dulgence of 'the House , if the indispoSition
der which he laboured prevented his- being as
audible as be would wish to be. To the pro-
dudion of the Paper ,for which the Honourable
Gentleman bad moved, he Shad no, sort of objec-
tion, although it related exclusively-to a private
transaction between Mr. McArthur, himself, and the
house of Paxton and'Co. All the Poison which it
was possible to extred trout that record, had already
been:disseminated through the Mouse, and through:,
the Country, with wonderful adivity and success; he
was anxious therefore' to offer what he trusted the
Hulls° ,woald.conSider as an antidote to that poison.
To do thin,, -however, he -must necessarily impose
upon the House a brief relation of the circumstances
of the case. About twenty.yeera ago (and God knew
that it was a long time to retrace. a privatearansac-
tion) it Was proposedaa to join in:a speeurati:on
with Mr. McArthur., ,The whole management of
' the concern was left to that 'Gentleman; - and as
there were many Members of that House ;Who
were acquainted with his judgment and integrity,.
be bad 'no doubt they would' agree with him,
that it could not be placed in better hands: -He
would nut trouble the House with a detail -Of
the intercourse which had taken place •between'
Mr.M'Axthur and Messrs: Paxtons, or thelittle'COM,'
municatiou between those "Gentlemen etidliiiiisell7
but on Mr. .'Arthur's writing to hitn„in January
lest, that the cause was immediately to,cotneeane he,
pressed MessiS, Vaxtona to postpene it a:stiort time,
and allow him to try asset get it brought to an amicable
FroM a -conviction that there ought,to
be mutual concessinns, he tepeeted his solicitations,
though .I.v ithoucsuccess., -11 e-then sent ferd4ie-aolia,-
eitor, to •whotn. he communicated all these eircuin-•
stances; and, as he was acquainted with the partied,
that, Gentleman undertook to impress upon their
'mind, that the mode which he; (Sir home Pop-
ham) Lad propoied„ was ihe,.best for them to,adont.•,
At this moment the Honourable Gentleman brought
forward the subjeCt of the Etrusco,:. Soed after
this the proceeding instituted by Jr. McArthur's
Solicitor was explained to him, and till then, lie
as-
sured the House, uponbis Most sacred honour, he'was
totally ignorant of the nature of it, as he had never,
had any .communication diredly or indire&ly with
Mr. McArthur, or his Solicitor, on the. legal manage-
ment of the case ; and he trusted the, House would
allow him to record his vindication on the subject of
,that plea, and his abjuration of all moral guilt which
might be conceived to attach to it, by reading the
positive declaration of the Gentlemen in question. He
hoWever, understood that many cases might, exist,
where a plea of legality might be most honourably
interposed, and this probably was-one. The Hots.
Captain here read'a letter recently addressed to him
by Mr. M'Arthur. It stated, that Mr. McArthur
enclosed the instructions given byhis Solicitor to the
Counsel (founded on the Solicitor's own judgment),
for drawing up the pleas in the action brought
against them by Messrs. Paxtons and Company,'
atter the latter hied declined all amicable adjustment ;
that the Solicitor was ready, when called upon, to
make an affidavit before 'any Court of Justice
that ,he had no intercourse with Sir Home Popham, ,
diredly or indirediy, on the subject of the plea on
record ; and that-Mr. McArthur was prepared to
make an affirmation, to the same effect; adding, how-
ever, that he could' not understand how a case sub
jadice could be argued in the House of Commons.
'Having finished the ;otter, the Hon.. Captain pro-
ceeded to observe, that he could not but think it very
extraordinary that the Hon. Gent. opposite, instead
of stating a case upon the Vienna, and on a previous
voyage, should not have stated a case direly in
point with respeCt to the Etrusco, the ship and voy-
age immediately in discussion; where his agents in-
sured 00,0001. and on the Ship being captured, the

Underwriters successively resisted payment, AD tl:*
sole plea of illegality ; upon which' plea theievet.
withheld the premiums they had received. This %vs:,
a case more direaly in point than Paxton's rccard;
not, indeed, of a plea of illegality set up by him, but
in which it bad been set up against him, to the loss
of upwards of 60,0001. in the very Concern which
had been brought under
.discussion. From this it •
sslZlLtst-appeaLsevisialate-amysiw-atiy -matterin which
he was implicated, the distinaions of law and ho.
DOW* were to vary so as to be made sUbservient to
contradictory purposes; If the law was on his side,
it was to be superseded by the most tefined feelings
of honour; and vice versak'when law was against
him, and honour for him, in the common acceptas
tion of the term, then- honour was to lie dormant,
and law was to operate in its fullest force.
Mr. LUSHINGTON said a few word's with regard to
the circumstance mentioned by the Hon. Captain re-
speding
the 60,0001. insured by.his agents. This'
was the first time that circumoance had come, to his
knowledge. 'His object in; moviog fOr the - record
was to shew that an illegal transaction had beea-
committed in a previous voyage by the Hon. Cap-
tale, and thus to. prove that the prance of illegal
trading had been. followed up by him. He assured
the Honourable Captain, that as far as he was ac-
quainted with she subject, lie considered him equally
concerned with Mr. MiArthur% It was extraordin-
ary, that where honour and character were so
much insisted upon; such a plea of illegality had
-been set up. It was certainly net his intention :...
to search into the private history of the Honours A
able Captain, but he Unquestionably meant to show, ,14'
that the grant that had been made to him was in
violation of nll usage on the subjeCt, and that the
memorial presented by the Hon.. Captain (on which
the grant was foUnded) contained statements not
strictly correa, and ditfcring completely frown the
plea that had been 30. t tip in another place-
Sir Home PoPtIAM observed, that notwithstands
ing what the. Hen.. Gentleman had just said, he
was informed, on indisputable authority, that a great
many cases might occur irrwhich a plea of illegality
might be most honourably interposed. In sispposing
this to tie-one, he might be in error; but if the
House considered it of Consequence;the Hon. Geo'
tlettinn had better propose a CoMmittee to investigate
the merits of the case. If be understood the osar-
ing of the- Hon. Gentleman's motion,
it was to
impress the House with 'the conviction that he
had contradiae4 himself by putting up the present
plea, after haVing a sew years before st tied, in his
memorial to the. King in Council; that he was igno-
rant of the illegality of the transastion; but it the
Hon. Gentleman would read that memorial with at-
tention, Ire would find that he stated in it, that at the
time he was trading in India he had no wawa to
consider that he was violating she laws of his caul'
try. .The conduct of the Company's Government
in India, and,the relaxation of their prohibitory lam,
amounted in his estimation to an abrogation of it ;
besides, he pledged himself to satisfy the House,
if required, that the paragraph in question wits
inserted by a learned Civilini, who, doubtless, was
perfectly satisfied that he was, borne out in suels a •
construction. When memorials were to be pre..
seined to his Majesty in Council, or to any Public
Board, the pun by whom thby were drawn - up
had Hoke idea that every expression was to be sub-
ject to all the turns which an ingenious and meta-
physical mind could give it. ,
kite motion was then jn.lt and agreed to. .
In a Committee on the Duty on CorkS, it was re.
solved, on the motitm of Mr, Hossossots, that for
the parporprOtedting the raw material, an addis
lional duty of os. -should be laid on every pound of

- Mr. Rose made a detailed reply to the Hon. Gen'

la Whatever light he considered it, he was the more

The report we yesterday gave of the Debate in
the HiouSe'ofCOlthilollS the night before, on the
subjea of Sir ItrouArto,STßAcuAN'sSqttadron, pre-
vented .us from. entering into any observations, but
the
.matter 'was so amply discussed, and`the Con
dutTof the Admiralty so fully defended, in the able
speech of Mr. WELLESLEY POLE, that any remarks
from- us are hardly necessary. Any person who
read Mr. WELLESLEY PoLn's speech with attention,
and whh an' unbiassed mind, Ilnd also what was said
by Mr. ROBERT WARD, must be satibtled that all the
charges which were brought agalnt the Admiralty
were founded in ignorance and misconception. The
Admiralty, it plainly appeared 'from the.docunients
referred tu, did every thing in its power to send ade-
quate supplies to the Squadron in question; and no-
thing but the oppositiou of the elementt, whialt was
not to be resisted, prevented Sir RICHARD from.re..
ceiving them at an earlier period. But the .great
point which the- Opposition wished to prove was,
that for want of these supplies Sir IttenAltv was
obliged to leave
,his station, and the French &pia-
dton was thereby enabled 'to escape. Now: it is
manifest that Sir RICHARD -never did leave his
station till he was absuletely driven away by the
state of the weather. Instead, therefore, of cen-
sure, the Admiralty deserves the highest praise
for the vigilance, activity, and success with
which it executed the must important opera-
tions at-the same period. The memorable Ex-
pedition to Copenhagen, which defeated the
hopes of France, and preserved the King of
SWEDEN—the return•otour Fleet with the Prizes—
