MONDAY, JUNE 14.
In the colirse of the judieitd businesi transtieted,
the Decree of the Irish Chancery in the case 4
Mint v. Moonsetl and others, was reversed ; and
the decision of the House in the Soots cause of
Craigdallie sosAithman, was to reiiiit the cake lor
further consideration. ,
Counsel were heard on the Irish Appeal of
Tonikins v. the late Attorney General, to proceed
again on Wednesday.
ISsilal Viscount NOaTISLAND was sworn anti took.
hi§ seat.
On the suggestion of the Lad Chancellor,
their Lordships Standing Order for meeting ut ten
o'clock on Cause Days, was ordered to be taken
into consideration on Wednesday, with ii View to
its temporary suspension on Friday ne;lsts that
being the firSt day of Term, when his Lor&hip
stated it would be impracticable for him to take
his seat in the House before two o'clock on that
day. 4-
Earl Grey presented a Petition from certain
traders And inhabitants of Newcastle-upon-Tyne,
complaining of the injuries sustained in their se-
spcctive trades, from the proaleoce of. Auctions
of a certain description.
The Earl of LAuDEROALE remarked, that under
the present circumstances of the country, the
taxes fell so• heavily on those who kept regular
shops as to rendes jt almost impossible for them
to continue their businesses, if individuals with-
out fixed residences could conic and sell goods in
different parts. of the country. The subject, he
thought, called for. the serious atteutiou of the
Legislature.
The Petition was ordered to lie on the table. •
A few Bills were brought up from the Commons
by Sir James Graham, Mr. Methuen, and other.
Members, and.seVerally read a first time.
ENGAGEMENTS WITH SWMP.N, &e.
Earl GREY said, before their Lordships pro-
ceeded to the transaction of other business, lie
should call the attention of the House to a subject
of very gteat and pccular impot tatice: He wish-
ed not to originate any discussion, but to apply
to his Majesty's Ministers, for the production of
certain additional matter, which he deemed indiss
pensably necessary to enable their Lordships to
form a satisfactory judgment *Too the subject to
which he referred, and which was shortly to be
brought limier their 'consideration. He would
first refer to the treaty of concert and subsidy be.
tsieeeo his Majesty and the Court of Sweden ; 'and
read that p art of the document which went to en-
gage this country eventually to assist the views
of the King of Sweden fat the annexation of Nor-
way to his dotninions, which he contended went
to engage Great Britain to assist Sweden in tisnex-
ing, by force, 'a part of the territories of the
Court of Denmark, in perpetuity, if the latter re-
fused, under certain conditions, to join the alli-
ance of the Northern Powers. Under such cir-
cumstances, therefore, he held it to be impossible
for any Noble Lord toform a judgment of the me-
zits of the proposition, toeless the House were in-
formed . what .were the conditions, in failure of
which, Denmark would be subject to so serious
and important An alternative. He hoped, in that
view, Ministers would not object to lay the Con-
- vent inn- -befisre-tht-,Honsei-to-- which. that Power
was invited to accede. At the same time, lie
woldd sayohat was not the only information he
thought necessary, for a due illustration of the
subject, that their Lordships should be put in
possession of beiore they were called upon to
sanctionaprineiple, involving points which referred
to eonsiderat ions hitherto held saeredand immutable
among nations, proceeding upon an asserted prins
ciple in
went
of the right of others, mid
which went vitally to affect the character of the
character of the country for honour and good
faith. He trusted, on these .most important
grounds, Ministers would not object to lay before
i he House the convention between the Courts of
Sweden and Russia, to which the Power an queer-,
tion was invited to accede ; and ou the same
grotinds, as referring to the very point itself; it
was important it should be known to the House
what passed between thii country and Denmark on
the subject. It was' publicly
nister was sent to this from the latter country, and
that after a short residence he was sent away, and
that immediately on his return to Denmark, .hosti-
lities were renewed, Viewing the actual conduct of
the two countries, he should conclude that Den-
mark was deserving a more fkivottrable attention than
'Sweden ; the former had entered Hambutgh for
1 its defence—they had shed their blood . in our
cause, and by an overt act marked its sincere
dispositions ; it was therefore the more particu-
larly incumbent on Ministers to state the propo-
sitions inside by.thes Court. of Copenhagen, and
the answer, returned, is hich led.to such disastrous
consequences. He thought that under the cir-
cumstances no plea of secrecy could be urged.
That was .not all : their' Lordships .were now sit-
. ting 'on the 14th of June, and they ought to be
informed, why.a treaty, which was sigseed upon
the third of March, was not earlier CoMmu•
nicked to Parliament. In the interval of the
' delay British money had been sent, anti na-
tional faith pledged ; they were therefore most
imperiously called upon to state what steps
were taken for the fulfilment of the Treaty
and whether the forces were yet hotted, which
the Treaty stipulated to maintain. If Mini-
sters were not prepared to acquiesce in these pro-
positions, they should,
.at least, allow some fur-
-1 ther time for the consideration of their Lordships
1 decision upon subjects so complicated and impor-
tent. Stich a postponement, for a short time, it
was not unreasonable to ask; when Ministers
themselves thought . it not injutiotts.to delay the
presentation of a Treaty signed oii the 3d of Maich,
„jail Friday iast. He also, would wish to see an
account of the stuns actually psid to Sweden, in
sonic official shape. It was also of importance
their Lordships should have berore them the en-
gag-eniesits sebsisting between this country and the
Coast of Russia, as essentially ne;:essary to illus-
trate the system of. Ministers, with \.v.speet to these
important points; and to brig thti subject before
f the Clouse in, a comprehensive and stutesiriani he
point of view. ,
The Earl of Ltvaaroor. deemetilt incumbent

on him to abstain, at the present moment, from
all detailed discussion .of the
.subjects adverted to
by qt.! Noble Earl. The day was.norfar distant
when he should have the opportunity of fully stat-
iog. what were the grottods and principles of policy
that actor,ted his Majesty': Governmen! in the
adoption of
,the Mayin titStiOtl,
,as well as in
other parts of .their Continental .measures. He
only claimed front the House that Ministers should
not he prejudged on those points. On that oppor-
homy he would undertake to substantiate that
no principle had been sanctinned by his Majesty's
Governmentno proceeding., adopted against any
Power, withoot having on the part of this coon.,
try and its Allies, a
,legitimate cause of war;
that they had conforthed to what was their
imperious duty with;
.reference to the actual
state of Europe find the . world, on the establish-
ed priocipleS of national honour and goat!
faith First, with regard to the. Second Article
Of the Treaty, in which reference was made to the
stipulation between Swedeu and Russia ; there
was n 3 obje'etioo on the part of Ministers to its
production, rtSrfar as this country was concerned ;
but
.as the treaty, though communicated, was
never authoritatively published by these powers,,
they could not: consistently consent to such a pro-
,
ceeding. He had no objection, however, to com-
municate the substance of the engagements be-
tween Russia and Sweden, as far as respected the
article referred tti in Or treaty with Sweden.—
Atacertain period of thecootestthere Undoubtedly
was made a proposition by the Court of Copettha-
ge», but of this lie could 'Soy, not only with
reference to transactious upon which engagements
already existed ; bet that it certainly was of such a
nature as could in no degree be admitted by a power
so circumstanced as this country. To the produc-
tion of that negociatioo he must Object, because
the correspondence mixed with topics which might
be prejudicial to the interests of other powers
sides, he did not see how such a procedure was in
the least necessary. Upon the whole,, the pies-
that rested upon the consideration, Whether, at the
time the engagements were made, they Were jus-
tifiable according to the laws .of nations, -of ho-
nour, and good faith ; and secondly, whether they .
were justifiable in point of sound eational
He agreed it was to be takea in connection
with the present state, of the war of Europe,
and of all the circuu''tanccs under which the
parties were placed. With respect to the period
of the signature of the Treaty, it should he recol-
lected that its ratification did not take place
until the .10th of ithiy; and he would lay in a '•
claim, that when the subject wa-, regularly in
discussion, the specific grotaids which induced the
postponeineot should be attended to. With 11,7
gard to the Noble Earl's observations 'respecting
the apparent fulfilment of the Treaty, he could
not allow even the present moment to pass
out stating, that there had been, as tar as the
period admitted, the most complete' fulfilment of
its engagements on the part of time. Cots; of Swe-
den.. respect to other points adverted to
by the •Noble 'hall, matters relating purely to the
interests of foreign powers, or connected with time
plan of Operations resolved upon, their Lordships,
he trusted, would see the obvious impropriety Of
production, or, under the present circumstances,
of detailed discussion ; and reserving himself for
a mire particular consideration of the poittts he
Imod adverted to, his wish was at present, in that
view 4.14.1121„5wi5s
Earl Chaim Y spoke at some length in explana-
tion (but to which, as well 'es of what sulise-
ouently took plate, our limits restrict us to very
brief notice), lilt profel.sed himself hot little sa-
tisfied with what was said by the Noble. Earl re-
spectiug what passed between this country and
the. COUrt of Dentnark, as the merits of the totes-
arm must, in a great degree, depend upon the
cotique: of that Power. He thought if Ministers
deemed the vouired productions likely to be inju-
rinds, it Was incumbent on them to postpone such
a momentous discussion, omit the time should ar-
rive, when,ln their minds, the necessary informa-
tion could be safely produced. He differed from
the Noble Earl as to the conduct of Sweden, which,
instead of being ready to act with 30,000 men,
at the commencement of the campaign, as stipu-
lated, had now, under the Crown Prince, im-
Inured, and fortifying himself at Stralsnad,,'a force,
according to report, of less than 18,000 men,
when the Emperor of France, after two great
battles, had driven the' Allied Armies to the extre-
mity of Silesia.. The Noble Earl admitted that
the transactips with Sweden were to be eonsi-,
dered but as part of a system ; and yet he was in-
clind to withhold documents referring to points
which made an essential part of that syStem. He
" would not the 6 press any motion for the neeesary
documents ; but would, in case the Mouse should
not, in the mean titue, be put in possession of
some satisfactory information, move on Thuri-
day, before the Order of the Day, for the manioc.-
Aion of what he deemed so essentially necessary.
The Marquis of DoLtoLss expressed his ophnott,
that .further.informatiOn was absolutely necessary
for the (hie Understanding of the 81qt:et, and
wished to know the nature of the engagements
betiveen this country and Prussia.
'rite Earl of LavFaroot, stated, flint there was
no treaty at preseut between this country and
Prussia.

Earl GREY inluirt.d, if there were at present
any treaty of conrert and sulisidy betweco this
country 'and Russia.

The Earl of LIVSVPOOL bad no difficulty of un-
swering in the negative,

Aftei: a few words between I►is Lordship and
Lord Holland; in the way of explanation, the
conversation terminated.

CEGLANEOUS.

After. conversation of some length, on die
case of the Borthwick Peerage, betw.een the Earl
of Lauderdale, Lords I.:Alcnburough and fl.edes-
dale, its farther consideration, in the coPnWitt".
of Privileges, was deferred front to-morrow till
that (lay sc'nnight.
On the tpwation for the sectind readink of the
General I nclosure Bill, a tlistussion of some lengt li
took place, in which the measure was pointedly
censured by the Lord Chancellor, Lard Lauder-
dale, Lord Edlenbinough, and Lord Redesdale,
iced defended in point of
principle and object by
Lord Sheffield.
The Lout) CHIEF Juirrtett moved that the
Bill
be read a second time this day three months.

After the Earl of Ihanwicxr had shortly deli-
vered his sentimeats, the question was put, and
the stem' reading negatived.
After a short colverSation between Lord Eliot,
the Chancellor, min one or two other Peers, the
commitment .of the General Highways 'Bill was
fiXeit for Fliday.
The EiHs upon the table ware forwarded in their
respective stages; when the House adjotpled till
to-morrow.
