Mr. Wrrhurton's notice "to call the attention of the
House of Commons to the petition of the Baron de Bode,"
stands for to-night. What course the lion. Gentleman means
to pursue on the occasion we know not, but in all probability
it will be for the re-appointment of a Committee to finish the
examination, and to report upon the merits of the Baron de
Bode's claim.
The Committee of 1834, eppointed by a House of about
180, out of which 169 who voted in favour of it, were
obliged to adjourn to enable the Baron to procure evidence
from abroad to meet "points raised and evidence adduced on
the part of the respondents which were not anticipated."
The Committee, at the request of both parties, adjourned
for two months, the latest period the Session would admit
of for business, and concluded their report, that they
" would be able to present a final report on the case at
an early period of the next Sesssion, if the House should
be pleased to renew the Committee ; h step which they hardly
need suggest to the House is rendered necessary by no fault of
either party, and which is essential, to prevent tthe time,
labour, and expense which have already been bestowed on the
inquiry from being totally useless."
The Baron having been put to the expense of about 3,000/.
to obtain the evidence required, has fruitlessly for these four,
years past been endeavouring to procure the re-appointment
of a Committee to examine and report. He has obtained,
every document necessary to meet and refute all the allega-
tions made ; and beyond all manner of doubt, by documen-
tary evidence to establish the integrity of his claims. Since
the adjournment of the Committee, in his character
of a British subject, he raised an action against the
French Government to recover a part of the estates unsold ;
the property by decrees of Court was restored to him, and.
he has since sold it. The official and attested documents on
this point, as well as on every other, he is prepared to sub-
mit to a Committee of the House of Commons. The re-
appointment of a Committee of the House of Commons to
finish the examination and report upon this case, is absolutely
demanded as necessary for the national honour as it is re-
quired for the ends of justice. It would be a gross act of
injustice to the Baron, and a flagrant outrage upon the in-
tegrity of this nation, were it possible (but we do not be-
lieve the statement), that to obviate the appointment of a
Committee upon the motion, "a discussion is to be raised
upon the particular points of the case" before the House.
The Baron's case is one of unparalleled hardship
and cruelty. While the Baron de Bode has been most
outrageously denied his just and legal rights, " a vast
number of parties (above forty) who made no claim in
due time, who never appealed against the decision of the
Commissioners, and neglected their own interests, some of
them even for upwards of sixteen years, have received indem-
nification ;" and those who have not are amongst those per-
sons who are now opposing the Baron's claims in the House,
and who having received 53 per cent. of their claims out of
the fund provided by France for the Baron's claims, say they
have " legal right," under " Treasury Minutes," to have
their claims satisfied in full, prior and in preference to the
claim of the Baron de Bode, and that " when these arc paid,
and not till then, will it he honest or just to entertain the
application of the Baron de Bode."
So long as a registered claimant remains unpaid, there can be
no surplus ; any that might remain afterwards can alone be dis-
posed of by Act of Parliament. The Lords of the Treasury had
no authority whatever to meddle with or dispose of one fraction of
those trust funds. Yet we find that by Treasury minutes 250,0001.
was transferred to the Commissioners of Woods and Forests,
to defray tradesmen's bills employed at Buckingham House.
It is stated that 250,0001. was also transferred by Treasury
minute, to defray the expenses of George the Fourth's visit to
Scotland—sixty thousand pounds were paid to Rundell and
Bridge, for diamonds, borrowed at the coronation-170,000/.
to pay for an estate at Canterbury, &a. &c. &c.
On the subject of admitting the supplementary claimants to
the funds, the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
on the 28th of June, 1828, when the case of Mr. Newman
was before the House of Commons, stated he was " most de-
cidedly of opinion that the supplementary claimants were not
entitled to participate in this fund (No. 7) as long as a rev-
lar registered claimant's claim remained unsettled." This is-1
conclusive.

Mr. Waller Boyde, a high Tory, nod whose son-in-law, Mr.
Baldwin, was made Secretary to the Commission for liquidat-
ing the claims against France, and who claimed, as the Baron,
under Convention No.. 7, was without any hesitation allowed
his demand, nearly 1,200,000/. !
If this was a right decision on the part of the Commission-
ers, why should it not have been equally favourable to the
Baron de Bode ?

A Committe for further inquiry is the only thing requested,
and a Reformed ]-louse of Commons will disgrace itself if it
shrink for one moment from agreeing to the inquiry. After
a full investigation of all the documents connected with the
case, we hold the Baron's claims to be good. At the same
time let a Committee be appointed tI decide upon the merits
of the case, and that is all that either we or the Baron de Bode
deem it necessary to demand.—Morning Advertiser.
