LORD WELLINGTON.

Mr. FREEMANTLE wished to know whether any
directions had been transmitted to the Envoys
With the Allied Powers, to communicate to, Lord
Wellington • the events which 'dad taken place
from the 31st of Marth last i .
The CHANCELLOR of the F.-.ScHECICER could as-
sure the llon:-Gentletnan that -no possible step
had been left unadopted.‘to inform his Lord Ship
of the great events at the cnd of March.
Mr. FREEMANTLE replied, that this answer was
by- no means satisfactory ; he 'wished to know at
what date the dispatches- were first sent to his
Lordship.
CHA4CELLoR of the F4CHEQUES, could
not say. y
Mr. FREEMANTLE resnmed. He said be shoutd
move that such documents and papers, or suffi-
cient extracts kom them, be laid before the Hoiise,
as would shew what steps had been taken by the
Envoys .with the Armies of the Allies, or by the
Government at home, to inform Lord Wellington
.of the events in France, from the 31st of March
to the 12th,of April.
The CHANCELLOR of tticExCHE'QUER
ever greatly the unhappy waste of blood-that' had
lately occurred was to be deplored, he was con-
vinced that the returns %vould slim that there had
been no'delay on any part.
Mr. FREEMANTLE said, that his only object in

moving for the Papers was to obviate car diminish
those poignant feelings in die breasts Of the un-
fortunate relatives of those who lid so lately been
killed, by convincing theiia. that tie calamity had
been unavoidable.
DANISH PrtISONERS.

Mr. Holt:lea wished to know whether orders
had 'been issued, or whether it was the intention
of Government to order the continuance of the
detention of prisoners, subjects of Denmark.
. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, as we
understood,, said that no such orders had been
issued.

11r. \VYNNE thought it right that the Parliament
should be informed whether or not'we are at war

with' the Norwegian nation.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied,
that the House must be aware that the Govern-
ment of this country could only recognise Norway.
`as a part of Sweden. ,

SINKING FUND.
In pursuance of notice 2 Mr. GRSNFELL rose to
make some observations on the mode adopted by
the Commissioners of ,the Sinking Fund, in the
purchase of stock for the ultimate liquidation of
the National Debt. Ile compared the present
practice to the case of a country gentleman, .who
wanting to raise 0,,0001. for the current year,
instead of going immediately to the money-lenders
for that sum, sends his steward into the market to
raise h,OOO/. and then has to employ brokers,
&c. to dispose of the overplus. The Commis-
sioners, wanting to raise only ten 'millions at
the beginning of the year, sent twenty-two mil-
lions into the market to buy stock for the whole
year, which necessarily made the purchase more
difficult and disadvantageous, as, in all cases
whateVer, the facility of purchasing any market-
'able commodity depended on the disproportion pt
the demand to dm supply. The Honourable Mem.;
ber concluded, by moving for a return of the
Stock purchased by the -Commissioners of the
Sinking Fund. in the last three years, with tht
rates and proportions thereof, &c.
Seconded by -Mr, WFI STBREAD.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, the
question was*, whether the effect of the present plan'
upon the money market was the most advan-
tageous ? It was a question which, perhaps, it was
IlOt possible to settle arithmetically, whether the
gradual application of the fund in the purchase of
stock was better than to have it applied all at
once. Many were of opinion, that the interven-
tion of the Commissioners by their brokers sup-
ported the credit of the fund, and kept the market
brisk. He was inclined to think that the,plan of
the lion. Gentleman (Mr. Grenfell) ;.vould not
produce the effect desired.
Mr. S. Tifolorro.g approVed of the Sinking Fund
in its present mode of application. Were it not
for thaf system, and the increased facility it gave
of raising money, they would have been long
ago at the mercy of the enemy. He thought the
agitation of this question now would have the
eifect of depressing the Funds, and they
.were al-
ready 7 per cent. lower than before the accotnit
was received of the late forturiate events. He dif-
fered from .the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Grenfell) in
all the conclusions diawn by him.

. - • . „
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said,. he
certainly had-heard it reported, that he intended
shorty to propose to the House a loan of consi-
derable magnitude. • tie could only say, that his
intention in this respect had been considerably ex-
aggerated, as the loan he should require was by
no.Theans so large as had been anticipated.
Aftera few.observations from Me. MARTEN,
Mr., P. GRENFELL shortly replied, and the mo-
tion was agreed to.
Mr. ROSE wished' for the appointment of a Committee to
'inquire into the stark of Private Madhouses. The points to
which he wished their attention to be directed were, as to
the eirciunst4nceo under which the patients Were received and
released by their iieepers. In some cases, persons were stated
to have been improperly concealed and maltreated. Hewish-
ed the things to be invired into.—On the ;notion of the
Right Hon. Gentleman, the consideration of the repoit of the
Bill was p'ostpoiled to Thursday next, and a Committee was,
appointed to investigate the subject in the mean time. -
At. the sug gection of Mr. PULE, the inquiries of the Com-
mittee were extended to-Ireland.

Lord PILNIERSTON obtained leave to bring in the Inn-
keepers' Allowance Bill.

The lush FoupdlingHospital Bill, and the Cordage Eat-

i eczle r, tit. Bill, We're feat' a sofici a 1 otiierdd to b-

teii'ed, and ordered to be taken into further consideration
on that day fortnight, and the Bill as amended to be printed.

were agreed to, and Bills ordered accordingly.
In a Committee of the whole House, it was resolved to re-
duce the duties on Brandy. The •Report was ordered to he
