-THURSDAY,
..O'SR : le.
The Bill for regulating the Office of the Paymas4
ter of the Navy was brought op from the Commons,
, and read a first time. Also,
The BilLfor -regulating the Trade with the Bra-
' ails; which being read a first time,
LordGRE.NVILLS rose 16 give potice, that on
the second reading of that Bill he should feel !ilm,.
self under the neces.ity of Inquiring into its ..provi-
sions, and examining how far they were compatible
with the present circumstances of the trade of the
Country, and bow far they might infringe on Aes
already sanctioned ,hy`Parliament; It appeared to be.
intended to encourage the importation of Brazil su,
gars ; now. that was an article with which the mar-
ket was already overstocked, and Le was at a lcss to
see how far it could he expedient. and just to a..A to
that glut of the market, at a moment when our
West,lndia Planters were so deeply emberrassed,
and had rather to exped relief than an ag!..)ravaticin'
of their difficulties. '
Lord iiIICKLA ND argued on the same side, and
to the same effect; and observed, that the mode in
which it was proposed to Import tho4e sugars would"
clash witti the enactments ot,the Ordersin Council.
DEUTOR AND CRELSITOR BILL
'Lord 111.0111/1 observed, that on
,account of the
inconvenience td which a Noble and Learned Friend
of his must be exposed,' if the Bill for arnendingthe
Debtor and Creditor
.Ata was to be read a second
time on Monday, the-day. for which it now siood,
he wished the second reedit% to •be deferred till
Friday the 4th of March,: and that -a
,now Order bo,
made for that day,—Ordered.
PLACE REVERSION BILL.
Lord LAUDERDALE, after noticing that' tho
Bill fur suspending the granting in Reversion of
Places, Sze. for I!.ite,
,had. for some time been on
their Lordships' table,.witheut any ,Noble Lord hav-
ing moved the second:reading, gave police, that un-
less that business was taken up by some other Noble
Lord,- he should himselfouove the (second readule of
that Bill on Monday next.
ORDERS IN COUNCIL.
LoYd.GRENVILLE rose pursuant to notie., to
move for a number of Papers, the nature of which
he had explained on a former occasiou, and to Which
he was not aware there could be. any objealoh. , It
was agreed upon all bands, that the Orders in Coun-
cil which Ministers had advised his Majesty to i,mt.e
involved measures of the utmost import and
which might be-attended with the most ~et iuus con-
sequences
to the commerce of,the Countr;.. It muit
therefore be de it ;..‘ cry possiole
tion that could throw light °Fon the operatien of
those Orders, provided that information could be
safely made ptiblic, should be laid before the "louse.
The Orders in Council issued in November last, enu-
merated in the Preamble, that tho 'Decree issued by
the FrenCh Government in November of the tbrtner
year had been a&ed upon with rigour afier its pro-
mulgation, and that subsequent to that jeriod it had
been enforced with still' greater rigour. Such watt
-the chief ground of the Orders in Council of Novem-
ber last, and surely it was of utmost necessity to
make it appear that on the pared the French GO•
vernment their Decree had been aated 14.44 with such
severity as to justify a recurrence to such mei:tires.
He should therefOre move, that en bumble Address
be presented to his Majesty, praying he would be
graciously pleased to flireia that,' there be laid befote
the House extraEts of such information-as Govern-
meat may have received of the' French Decree of •
November having been enforced, first with figoiir,
and afterwards with greater' rigour. •

comment on the sentiments with which the Forces
at his Majesty professed to approach the Danish ca-

. upon which the two Governments were to remain not
only in a state of amity, but be bound together iii
h tether bonds .of union and alliance. The plea upon
which they grounded. the demand they made °Cale
surrender olthe Danish ,Navy,,wes that cyan urgent
. ' indispensable, but cruel necessity. , The opinion he
entertained of that necessity he had already de- ,
dared in his place on two occasions. It was an
;
le opinion that remained unaltered, and as .:far as
he could see, would remaitreanatterable. The ne-
cessity had not yet been made out to his satisfaee
, , lion. There would be nothing in the motioe he'
: - should this night submit to their Lordships, in the
least incompatible with his former opinion upon th
Danish Expedition ; ,and even had he voted with I lie
majority on the two occasions to which lie ,head al-
- beled,still he should think himself at li4erty to make
