RUFFURE OF -Mg NttiOcixribm.

The ChittiCtl,L,oll of the XCEIEQUEII rose and
said., he was authorised by his Royal Highness
the Prince Regent to state to the House, that the
liegocintions for a general Peace had terminated
by a rupture of them, and,.that a communication
on the sittjeet 'Would shortly he made to Parlia-
inent by:his Royal Highness. lie felt happy .in
stating, that in the principles,. the conduct, and
the termination of the-negociations, all the Allies
bad most perfectly concurred: • It was their in-
tention to submit shortly to Europe, and to the
world, a joint public declaration, in whick.9;eir
principles, conduct, and views, would be slr4eu ;
and which, as soon as. it should arrive in' is
country, his Majesty's Government 'would lose nO
time in laying before Parliament, accompanying
it 'with such other papers as-Might appear neces-
sary for the explanation of Wil:whole subject. He
NSW not aware he could, with' propriety, say any
thing more on this point at present.
Mr. PONSONBI did not exactly understand what
was meant by the Right Hon. Gentleman, its to the
production of papers. Was it intended to lay be-
fore thenfnll the papers, or a selection frinn them ?
He must hope, that when papers were pt.:minced,
sufficient time would be given for the considera-
tion of them.

The CHANCELLOR of theEXCIIFFIVER observed,
that no communication was intended to be made,
which might be detrimental to the public interest;
but it was the desire of Government to afford the
fullest possible information: - iirith respect to the
time of making the commtmiCations, he could not
speak precisely ; it would be as Soon as the ex-
pected declaration arrived; which he thought
would be a little after.the'recess. Full time.would
be proposed for consideration. -
Mr. PONSONEY expressed himself, under these
eireumstances,-perfectly satisfied.
The CHANCELLOR' of the EXCHEQUER stated,.
that the Prince Regent directed certain papers
relative to the Droits Of Admiralty to be laid be-
fore the House.

A new writ was ordered for the Borough of
Dorchester, in the room of Mr. A. Court, who
accepted the Chiltern Hundreds.

A NOURNM ENT.

Mr. PotcsoNßY begged-leave to ask what was
the intention of the Chancellor of the Exchequer
ropecting the duration of the adjournment. On
a recent occasion, when this business WAS spoken
of; that Right Hun. Geritieman had said, that the
adjournment need not be longer, but Wright. be
shorter, than ;the usual period. Now, be under-
stood that he intended tiw adjournment for the
usual period, and that it was not likely that the
I-louse would receive information immediately ;
but that they must wait till the Allies should have
prepared their Declaration, and sent -it . to- this
country. In that event, it was to be sent to Par-
liament, accompanied by other explanatory pa-
pers. It was material to know his intentions;
tor- if the House were to wait for the Declaration
before they received any communication from our
Government, -the length of time they waited
Might he at the pleasure of the Allies. To remain
in such a state without any information, .wa3 a
-very awkward situation for Parliament, and for-
this nation. He thought Nit wise, on the whole,
to take a shorter adjournment.

The CHANCELLOR of the ExCIIEGWER Mild not
discern any good reason against. the usual adjourn-
Ment, which Would extend to that day fortnight.
lie believed that the Declaration he bad mentioned
Arouli be ready in. a.very short time subsequent to
the rupture of the nepeiations. The Declaration
was, not likely to be • delayed : it was probable
that a Noble Lord, who had' taken a part in the.
DeOriatiorys, would be present to 'give to the
House all such e.xplauatiogis as' might appear Ile-
e;s:sarv.. Should the Allies change their inten-
tions, it would become the duty of this Govern
ment to submit sufficient information to Parlia-
ment.

Mr. PONSONI37 believed, that this Government
had never, on former occasions, waited professed-
ly for, and mule the information of Parliament
dependent upon, the conduct of our Allies, though
be also believed there had always been previous
commtfaiciltion with them. But here, at present,
we were to be expressly dependent up-on' their:
steps. If they should become tedious or procras-
limiting, or should change their intentions, then
our Government was to submit information. This
seemed a novelty. in our proeeedings, and render-
ed us dependent on otherrow'ers, instead of our
wn deliberations. He ccoald not approve of a
long* adjournment, as it would' be extremely inde-
corous h) keep the Parliament and the Nation
waiting in suspense ..for the meashres of other
Governments.

The CitAxcti.t.oß of the ExCIIEQUEF. thought
himself considerably misunderstood. What he
meant was this, that the Declaration being ex-
pected soon, it was the most convenient procetd-
ing, on its arrival, 'to lay it before Parliament,
together with the other explanatory papers, in a
communication from the Pri'hce Regent. He was
not aware of any case having before occurred si-
milar to this, in which we waited for a common'
.joint. Declaration of all the'Allies, 'as was the case
now. • ,

Mr. PONSONBY certainly bad understood, that
information to Parliament was to depend on re-
ceiving this Declaration. Ile was now to under-
stand that such was not the iptention, but that
Qovernment meant to make a communication at
such time as 'night appear necessary. Ue had
therefore nothing farther to say. -
