seasons whicii enforced upon his mind the propriety
of producing them. It was Military information
that was required ; and not general information upon
abstraet poiitlcal 'points. Indeed when he delivered
in his opinion upon that occasion, he was not averse
to limited service; but i delivering that opinion, he
never expeaed, that upon the grounds now held out,
such "a system was to be adopted.

Lord'GREIWILLE said, that he had little or
nothing to add in corroboration of the observations
that had been made against the produ6tion of the
Papers, by his Noble Friend (Lord Moira). The
information they were said to contain --was not that
kind, of information which was usually called for to
assist the deliberations Of. Parliament. Such infor-
mation generally contained evidence of fatis ; but
what was now called for consisted merely of the
opinions and suggestions which a number of indi-
viduals thought proper to hold -forth, according to
their own particular judgment. There, was surely
no precedent for calling, for the production of in-
formation of that nature. 'Were that •to be the
pratiice of the 1-1-ouse, the same might be proposed
upon. every other measure ; and thus a forum might
be opened for the discussion of every measure
brought into Parliament, not to be agitated by
Members of that House, but by persons not Mem-
bers, whose opinions were however to guide the
proceedings of the }Tense. The consequences of
such a precedent were therefore monstrous, and could
not for a moment be overlooked by any refle6ting
mind. • •

The question for the produaion of the'Papers waa-
'n put, and negatived without a division, .
After which the Mutiny Bill was read a second
time, and ordered to be committed on .Friday next.
Lord ELboN presented a Petition from Mr. Watson,
Se jeans at Arms of the House, representing, the in-
adequacy of his salary, and praying it 'might be
increased: His Lordship spoke highly in favour of
the clainis of the Petitioner, which•claims were ac-
knowledged by Lord SPENCEn, who moved that the
Petition be referred to a Committee on Monday next.

On the Motion of Lord GRENVILLE., the Eonsidera-
tion of 'Judge Fox's Petition was deferred till Thurs-
day se'nnight.—Adjourned 'at half past Nine o'clock.
