STATE PAP
Mr. PONSONJ3Y rose. to 'oak a few. questions
stiggested by the perusal of the ..Papers laid on the'
taLleyederday. 'L he answers to those questions
he inaierial,, preParatory ti the debate that
1../.13 CO COUR" on. to-morrow. Between the .dispatches
7, aul No. 8, that is, between gth September.
and tat (Moho., there appeared a great vacuum.
He wished to kiny.v, whether any, divatch had been
io tk.t interval, and, if tiicre hod taeri;
'whether its contents were ore nature that render tho,
diselointe of. thein• improper ? Them was ON a O n-
other great blank between the ist OCtober, and the
20th of the sante month, .with revel* to which he
%%idled for similar information. Bo also wished to
know, why the Otficial 'Noteof: Lord Granville
Levesut\ Gower, .accotnpanying the Copy of the
Capitulation of Copenhagen, laid betbre the Russian
C.;;,‘Trorni•nt, was not among. the Papers on the
tible. The oinissiou of this Nom was the more ex-
traordinary, as the aniwer to 'it, and a dispatch
~epics! 4.ofcrted to it, Were among those Papers.
Vo. 6, No. 0, and No. tt, were only extratis; and
%ctne not very satistaaory. Hie allowed that clis-
p-itchits May frequently be of such a nature, that it
:stay not the proper to produce itie whole of them ;
4nd if the dispatched in question were. of that .na-
. tete, he had no desire to find .thult with the exer-
6Se of the discretion of his Maiesty'S Ministers with
tuspea to them. -
_try, secretary CANNII G,. before be answered
tlos Hon. Geatieroan in detail, begged leave to re-
thin tile Order made on his Motion did
not re.t.iire the produCtion of the whole of the
Olftelal Correspondence between his Majesty's
I>issidor and Government, with the Goftruinent vf,
imsos, but sub
mediation
related to the
application for the of Russia in the quarrel
with I)entnark. Though some dispatched may have
pssed, th ,t were not produced, it wale not therefore
to he. inferred, that they contained any infOrtnation
en the particular point on wind) the House desired
to be informed. He could not say absolutely, that
rip' other dispatches had' been received,. but be was
certain that there were none relative tuihe subjeci
in question, which were not given to the House.
With tesped to the other dispatches, of which only
extratis had been given, it was certainly the tact,
that from the practice growing up in ParLianient, and
he was Sorry to see it growing up, of demanding
putters on every sobjeCt, the exemise .4; discretion al-
luded to by the Hon. Gentleman' was indispensably
necessary to be vested in his Majesty's Ministers,
with a view to the safety and well being of the State.
'Dispatches iront Ambassadors frequently mixedwith
the particular subjects that formed the principal
heads of their general observations on the state of
the Ctitat and Country, particular end private
.circuinstauces, wli4i it Would be extremely inju-
ri<Ati cud improper to make public. With respect
to the Note ultich had been made the subject of
priieular—.:.inquiry, he was not sure Whether there
wcti,a copy' Ot it in the ottice. The Substance orit
hurl been prodnced.
Mr. PONSO,Ni'jY said, that, if thnro *as_ no'
Copy of the Not! it COnid not be produced. But
