IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORD S, Scprslanut 15.
The following Peers were introduced and took their
eats:.--The Marquis of BREADALRANE, the Earl of
LICHVIELD. Baron SAUMAREZ, and Baron CLONCURRY.
The Earl of ABERDEEN took that opportunity of
stating; that he was unavoidably absent during the discussion
which took place on the preceding evening, in the course
of which he und, rstood that the Noble Earl at the head
of his Majesty's Gov, rnment had contravened an impor-
tant statement made on a former occasion by him, and by
a Noble Duke (the Duke of Wellington), respecting our
commercial relations with Portugal. He would not say
any thing o❑ the sithjec; in the absence of the Noble Earl,
but when that Noble Earl next appeared in his place,
which he understood would not be until Monday next, he
would he prepared to re-assert the statement that had been
made by the Noble Duke and himself.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, if the Noble Earl
had been present at the discussion to which he had alluded,
he would have found that his Noble Friend had not volun-
teered any contradiction of the statement of the Noble
Earl and the Noble Duke. So far as he understood what
had occurred, his Ntib'e Friend having made some obser-
•ations with reference to certain documents, was followed
by the Noble Marquis (Londonderry), by whose speech he
was drawn into debate ; and then, and not before, he made
a statement on the subject referred to by the Noble Earl—
whether it Ivas right or wrong he could not say, but his
Noble Friend was impelled to take that course, in conse-
quence of the circumstances in which be was placed.
The Noble Earl would, he was sure, feel that his Noble
Friend would not, in an uncalled-for manner, contradict
any statement in the absence of the Noble Earl, or of the
Noble Duke, which concerned them. The fact was, that.
when attacks were suddenly made, those who were attacked
were obliged to enter into contradictions, without fattier
notice, if they found it necessary, for their own de'ence.

The Earl of ABERDEEN .lid not attribute to the
Noble Earl any wish to contradict, in their absence, the
statement made by himself and the Noble Duke. He
merely meant to say, that he understood such a contradic-
tion had been made, and that he would he ready to re-
assert that statement whenever the Noble Earl appeared in
his place.

The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said, be perfectly
recollect-d, when the Noble Earl at the head of his Ma-
jes,y's Government gave the contradiction in question. It
now appeared that the statement alluded to had been made
by the Noble Earl near him, and not by him. Ile did not,
at the time, understand the allusion of the Noble Earl ;
hut it now evidently appeared that he was mistaken in his
charge against him (Lord Londonderry).
Viscount MELBOURNE said, the present conversation
anded another instance of the inconvenience which arose
from toe introduction of desultory debates, similar to that
which occurred last night. He should be glad if the rul•
upon that point were as strictly attended to there as it was
in the other nouse.

The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said, that the de-
hate did not originate with him last night. The Noble
Earl, in adverting to certain papers, had stated that he was
ready to explain all matters connected with them, and on
that the debate arose.

Viscount STRANGFORD wished to know whether
any step had been taken on the part of his Majesty's Mi-
nisters for the revocation of an extremely inconvenient
order which had been issued by the Neapolitan Govern-
ment, in consequence of a communication received from
Trieste that the olera morbus had broken out on the
❑orth-west coast of Ireland. In consequence of that com-
munication, quarantine regulations were enforced, and
great delay and inconvenience bad followed. By levers
from Palermo, it appeared that the precautions taken were
highly inconvenient. It was stated that sugar had been
taken out of the casks, and the casks aftet wards drawn
through salt water, for tie purpose at purifying them.
He also wished to know what was the intention of his
Majesty's Ministers with reference to another very im-
portant subject—the wine duties? When he last notice°
the subject, he unfortunately did not receive the least de
gree of attention front the Noble Earl (Grey). But,
however mortifying that might be, he would persist in
bringing the subject under the consideration of the
House. He would assure his Majesty's Ministers that
utuch stronger feeling prevailed on this subject
abroad than in that House ; and, however his conduct
might be censured for making the remark, he would
say, that those who were concerned in this trade were
heartily sick of what was denominated liberalism in trade.
Lord AUCKLAND said, that with respect to the first
point, strong remonstrances had been made to the Neapolita❑
Government by the Board of Trade; and as to the second,
if the Noble Lord gave notice of a motion on the sub-
ject, it should be properly attended to.
