GREECE.

Sir J. GRAHAM moved for returns of copies of
the instructions sent to Sir P. Malcolm by the
Lords of the Admiralty, in obedience to a despatch
of the Earl of Aberdeen, written in July last, rela-
tive to raising the blockade of the coast of Greece
by the British squadron ; and also copies of the in-
structions and despatches sent to and from the Lord
Commissioner of the lonian Isles. He wished to
know from the Right Hon. Home Secretary whe-
ther Ministers intended to lay before the House all
documents relating to the conferences at Poros,
which it was most desirable that the House should
be in possession of previous to the discussing the
final arrangements which had been adopted by the
Allies with respect to the new Greek territory?

Sir R. PEEL said the fullest information respect-
ing the conferences at Poros and their results would
be shortly laid before both Houses of Parliament.—
With regard to the papers then moved for by the
Hon. Baronet, he did not see what object could be
attained by the production of the instructions sent to
Sir P. Malcolm, as they were implied in the de-
spatch of Lord Aberdeen which led to them. He
did not throw this out by way of objection to pro-
ducing the papers, but as a suggestion to spare the
unnecessary multiplication of them.
Sir J. GRAHAM thought that every document
relating to the blockade of the Greek fleet should
be produced, as the French Ambassador would ap-
pear to have acted under the impression that there
existed some discrepancy between the declarations
of Lord Stuart de Rothsay and the despatch of the
Earl of Aberdeen on the subject. He particularly
alluded to the interpretation of the term " violence,"
as used respecting the raising of the blockade.
Sir R. PEEL maintained that no discrepancy
other than verbal existed with respect to the inter-
pretation of the term "violence" alluded to by the
Hon. Baronet.
Sir R. VYVYAN was anxious to know whe-
ther it was intended to lay before Parliament copies
of the correspondence between the British Govern-
ment and the Court of St. Petersburgh, in relation
to the settlement of Greece previous to the signing
of the treaty of July, 1827 ?
Sir R. PEEL felt a considerable objection to
produce the correspondence which had taken place
before the treaty had been signed, as he thought
that not only no good could arise now from its pro-
duction, but that the proper time for discussing the
policy to which it related had passed over. Had the

Sir R. PEEL was not insensible of the forbear-
ance evinced by Parliament at the time alluded to
by the Hon. Baronet.
Lord PALMERSTON begged leave to suggest
to his Right Hon. Friend the great advantage of
laying before that House the additional documents
relative to the conferences at Poros, which had been
ordered in the other House, but which he under-
stood were not, according to the letter of the mo-
tion, to be also, as a matter of course, laid before
them as well as the House of Peers. He wished at
the same time to remind his Right Hon. Friend of
something like a promise on a former occasion, to
produce copies of the correspondence which had
taken place between the British Government and
the Court of St. Petersburgh, in the interval be-
tween the two Russian campains, with a view to
bring about a favourable termination of the hostili-
ties between Russia and the Porte. Both docu-
ments were highly important and necessary to a per-
fect understmding of our conduct in the transaction.
Sir R. PEEL had only to say, that if his Noble
Friend had been in the House a few minutes sooner
he would have heard him declare that it was the in-
tention of Ministers to lay all the documents rela-
tive to the conferences at Pores before both Houses
of Parliament.—(Hear.) Ministers had no objection
to the production of every document essential to a
thorough investigation of their policy in relation to
the treaty of July, 1827, and its consequences.
After a few words from Sir R. VYVYAN and Lord
JOHN RUSSELL, the motion"was agreed to.
On the motion of Sir J: GRAHAM, accounts
were ordered, showing the salaries and pensions
under the Act of the 6th of George IV., for the
Colonies during the last year.
SCOTCH ENTAILS.
In reply to a question from Mr. R. GRANT,
Mr. KENNEDY had certainly refrained from
brining forward the question of Scotch entails this
Session, because he had expectations that the whole
subject would have been considered in the House
of Lords. In that expectation he was certainly dis-
appointed ; and if the matter were not introduced
early next Session in the other House, he should
certainly bring it forward himself, with a view to its
adjustment.
OBJECTION TO OATHS.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL presented a petition
from several persons in London, who had religious
scruples against taking oaths ; the consequence was,
they were ineligible to the office of executors under
wills, or to prove debts under bankruptcies. He
really thought that the principle of the law which
excepted Quakers and Moravians from taking oaths,
ought to be extended to these petitioners. In the
present state of the Session, he did not mean to
bring forward a special motion on the subject ; but
perhaps in the next Session he would do so.
Lord NUGENT gave notice, that, on Monday
next, he would present a general petition, which
complained of the imposition of oaths, contrary to
religious scruples.
Lord HOWICK gave notice, that upon bringing
up the report of the Committee of Supply, he
would again take the sense of the House upon the
vote for special missions to South Amerioa.—(Hear.)
On the motion of Lord MILTON, accounts were
ordered, showing the import duties upon foreign
corn, and corn imported from the British possessions,
for the years 1827, 1828, and 1829.
Sir H. HARDINGE brought up returns, show-
ing the amount necessary to put the disembodied
infantry upon the same footing as the disembodied
cavalry, under certain circumstances. And he gave
notice, that on Monday next he would move for a
supplemental grant of seven days' pay, to equalize
the general amount of the disembodied infantry and
cavalry pay.
On the motion of Lord F. L. GOWER, the sup-
plemental report upon the Judges' salaries, and ex-
penses in courts of justice in Ireland, was ordered to
be produced.
