The Irish Schools Bill went through a Com-

anti ordered to. be taken into further considera-
tion on Wednesday next, and the bill to be
printed.
The Poor Laws Bill was read a second time and
committed on 'Thursday next.
The second readinwof the Cinque Ports Debtors

FOREIGN RELATIONS.
Mr. PoNSONRY said, that having some time ago
taken the liberty of putting a question to the No-
ble Lord opposite (Castlereagh) un the subject of
the connection between this country and Sweden,
he now, wished to know from the Noble Lord whe-
tiler any money had been advanced by the Go-
vernment of this, country to Sweden, besides the
sum which was' stated in the Vote of Credit ? From. •
the nature of the, answer whiCh he should receive
froM the Noble Lord, he should determine upon
the proceedings which be should institute upon the
subject.
Lord CASTLEREAGH, in reply to the question of
the Right lion. Gentleman, begged to ,state there:
bail been money advanced by ,the Goverlinient nt
`this country to :Sweden, besides the suni• which
Was stated in the Vote of Credit. Soon after the
Whitsuntide Holidays, lie hoped to have it in his
' power to lay, before the liouse some information
Which won'd tend to explain those circumstances
which harned to the' advance of that money.
PoNiONBY. said, that instead of the Noble
Lord saying that he hoped to be able to make
some communication to Parliament, he would
have been better pleased if he bad stated with
cut ji-
deuce, that after the Whitsuntide holidays it was
his intention to lay before' the House such infor-
mation. He thought it very improper that such
advances' of money should be matte Without in-'
'forming Parliament bn .the subject, and statiny,..
what the circumstances were. w,hich could jusitfy'
such a proceeding. unless,the Noble Lord could
say he bad something stronger than /topes of being
able to make a communication on the subject, he
should feel it his duty ,to submit to the House
some motion upon the subject.
Lord.CAsThartathn said, that be entertained a
.eonfulent expectation, dot he should be enablea
. to make a conimunication to the House at the
time which he had mentioned. He did 'not wish
to pledge 'himself to make any communication un-
til it should he in his 'Power to make one which
. should be satisfactory.

EAST INDIA AFFAIRS.
Lord CASTLERtAGH moved the Order of the
Day for a Committee on the Affairs of the Last
India Company.
, Mr. Pr.T.ea Moortz wished the Noble Lord tp
postpone the Committee till some future day, as.
ire understood there was a string of new Resolu-
tions proposed to be laid before the Committee, of.
the nature-Of which he had not been able to make
himself acquainted,
Lord CASTLEREAGH said, that he certainly
thought the Compiittee the most proper place tin'
the 1-lon. Member to obtain the information he
required.
Mr. BARtNG objected to the Committee, on the
ground that it would be premature. •
Mr. C. GRANT thought that it was impossible
that the new Resolutions could have been perused
by above one, half of the Members of the House,
and it was only on that very morning that the
Court of Directors had been informed of the sub-
stance of the new. Resolutions. He therefore
hoped that the Noble Lord would not persist in
his motion tor a ComMittee on that day, particu-
larly as several of the Directors who had intend-
ed to take a part in the-debate, were unavoidably
absettt.

Lord CASTLEREAGn observed, that the reasons
which had been stated at that time for postponing
the. Committee, were not More satisfactory ihutt
those which had been urged on a former occasion,
He conceived that it was perfectly in his power,
without giving any notice of it, to make, any al-
terations in the resolutions which he might deem
expedient, provided that they did not change the
tundanfental principin. ; the change which had
been made was merely partial, and did not in the,,
least affect the principle ; it could not, therefore,
he truly characterised as a total change. It.con-
sisled merely of some alteration in the third rc -
solution, and it was not probable that they wouid
make such progress in the Committee during that
day's sitting, as to come to the consideration of
that resolution. if - any thing new had heen
