IMPERIAL PARLIAMENI.

HOUSE OF PEERS.

'THURSDAY, ,MARCH 9. ,
• The Maynooth College Bill was broughtbrought i p'from
the Commons, and read a first time. . ."

COPENHAGEN.

The Order of the Day being read,
Lord-SUFFOLK rose pursuant to notice, to Move
for the Correspondence which had passed Ittween
MS Majesty's Ministera 'and Mr. Garlicke, respea-
ing the hostile designs of the Court of nDenMark
rtgaiast this Country,' .which' it had been . asserted,
were made ,evident by. that Correspondence. It
was desirable indeed that satisfadory evidence:should
he laid before the-House, in proof of thedelligedi,
eney or necessity which induced Ministera.toru,.
bark in such a violent and unwarrantable measure
as the attack upon. Copenhagen. He had as yet
heard no argument or explanation -.to satisfy -his
mind on these points; He- was, therefore anxious
that some proof might be adduced .that -would de-
monstrate that necessity, and rescue the name-and
charader ofthe Country from the shame and degra,
d.eioo which that ill-starred Expedition must ether,
wise fix upon them. It was moreover necessary to
vindicate the individual .c.baraeler of Mr. Garlicke,.
with whose dispatches Ministers had taken a liberty
unauthorised by any pradice of, Parliament with
which he was acemainted. The Noble Lord .con.
eluded with kmoving an Address to his Majesty, pray,:
ink that diredions -be given to lay before the ,House
such Correspondence as had taken place.betweee
Mr. Garlick° and the Secretary of State,' from No.'
vember, 18e1i, to July, 1807i-respeaink the designs
which in conjunction
,with Russia, Den Mark was
supposed to be entertaining against this Ceunfr'y. .
Lord .11.:111VES BURY obsCrved, tliftt' if the
Noble Earl Who made this motion 'had
.a.4-entled
former debates; he must have known thatthe Papers
he now moved for had already been'refuited; 1 and
that the motion, the objet of which was to have
them ptoduced,,had been negatived aftefili Itiainte
end long discussion ; that such .Papettalijii4 been
produced in another place, was no reason why they
should he laid before 'their Lordships; the more so,
as no special grounds had been slated fOr producing
them, and es the subje't to' which they related had
long since 6eau thoroughly investigated and solemn;
ly decided on. As no necessity whatever was sho,vn
for the produalen of such Papers at the present tuo-
'luent, he. thought perfeEtly justitiq.l. in op.
.paiing:the inuton of the Noble Earl.
feed GREY argued at great length in support of
the motion. When these very dacutn4nts were
I;v:ltei.l. for in another place, they had been refused
ors the plea that the prodedion of thetu might be
detrimental to the public 'intereSta :..yet when the
manse 'Papers were afterwards mcived far in order to
vindicate the character of an individual, all appre-
hensions of public. danger vanished, and in order to
• clear the 'character ef that individual from green&
less tnisreprescutation the Correspondence was pro-
;;iticed. The Noble Lord concluded` with a warm
panegyric- on the condu& of Mr. ,Garlicke,• which
in all the situations that Gentleman had been, placed
in, was uniformly marked by ability, integrity, and
Neal.

Lord lIMPKESBURY most cheerfully coincided
in every praise that could bebastowtidOn Mr. Gar-

licke, of who,e merits he had long been so convinc-
ed, that he l al omitted no opportunity of reeont7
'mending him for promotion to his Majesty. As to
the Copenhagen Expedition, every thing that- had
:since happened only confirmed him in the opinion-
.of the expediency,. indeed the absolute necessity of
that Expedition. . .
Lord Gttruv tr.r.v. and Lord Hotr.Arin repeated
morit of the arguments' which, on 'farther occasions,
lod been urged against the Baltic' ExPediKiiii, and
contended that every possible infornuircifi'should
be lailbeforo the Otiose, to explain h'ihMiire, the
consequences of which must every day come under
discussion.
Lord Mtn.c A.V r. very ably: . replied ; and, after
sonie explanation tram Lords GaILNVILLE arid floi.-;
LAND, the question was called for, ;Willa Motion•
was negatived without a division.
Oktmitts tN COUNCIL
'rile Older of the .Day. was then Moved by Lord
11.1wscsatitlY, for the House to resoltik it if into'
a Committee on the Orders in COantilNliiht and
the Howe acc,,rdingly, after someobservatiOtts from
Lord A.O Cbt LAND on what passed last' night,"tcstilv-
ell itself into the said Committee.
On the Clause Wilding the penalty of death,
snd other penalties of a heavy nature, Lord GREN-
.OI,LE WA 'OCCASiOn to observe- on the hupropriety
.at introducing these -rigours of the law 'into Re-
twine Acts. moved thm. the Clause be
oinittO,

Lord !;trot allowed that it was a general evil
in the .Revenue Laws to include these heavy
. 114 hoped the NOble Lord, wc,uld not press,
Ili the pw,ent Instance, ibr the omission of a Clause
tehich was COpled front all the other tteveim ACis,
lint It, was cellainly to be wished that SOtne trencr.:l
Ad, brit:ging all these penalties into a 'comprehen-
sible compais, should be speedily passed.'

-Lord It ote.sn A tP. appeared
.to agree ,in principle
