Sir J. NEWPORT eNpressed his satisfaction at

tie short remainder of the Session.
The CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER observed,
that inevitable unforeseen and unfortunate occur-

The CHANMLLOR of the •EXCHEQUER. gave
tice, that in the Committee.`of Supply on Friday
net, he, would move the Army Extraordinaries,
and the remaining miscellaneous services.
Mr. CANNING, adverting to the conversation
which had taken place yesterday in his absence
respecting the various notices hefore the House,
observed, that if it were thought peculiarly con-
venient to bring forward on Thursday, the dis-
cussion on the Orders in Council, he would hare
no objection to Withdraw his notice of a motion
respecting Catholic Emancipation which stood for
that day, provided be could have a prior opportu-
nity of submitting it to the consideration of the
House. If an Hon. Gentleman opposite (Mr.,
Whitbread), would give 'up Wednesday, the day
at present fixed for the consideration of the To-
leration Act, he (Mr. C.) would on that day bring
forward the Catholic questicin. :But he could not
consent to 'postpone the discussion of so impor-
tant a subject fur a whole week.
Mr. SPEAKER called the attention of the House
to the proposition. about to be made. It was the
established usage of Parliament not. to accelerate
any notice which had been given for a particular
day. -

Mr. CANNING observed, that his sole object was
accommodation.

Mr. WYNNE• objected to any rigorous interpre-
tation of tke usage of the House with respect to
notices.

Lord CASTLEREAGH allowed that the Right Hon.
Gentleman (Mr. Canning) had an abstract right
to fix his notice for what day he chose, or even to
make his motion without notice, but he believed

it was the last • right which any Member of that
House would be disposed to exercise.. If the
Right. Hon. Gentleman brought forward his: mo-
tion a day earlier than that originally fixed, many
Members might be prevented from giving their
opinions upon if. The Right Hon. Gentleman
was perfectly entitled to Thursday for his motion,
and he recommended the Honourable and Learn-
ed Gentleman (Mr. Brougham) to wave his mo-
tion respecting the Orders in Council which stood
for that day. If, however, such- an arrangement
could not :be accomplished, at least the Right Hon.
Gentleman might bring forward his motion on
Friday or Monday.
Mr. Wina7attEAD having been called upon in the
first instance by the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr.
Canning), allowed that he should not be prepared
to agitate the subject of the- Toleration Act on
Wednesday, hut trusted the Right Hon. Gentle-
man would not bring forward the Catholic Ques-
don on that day , as it would immediately precede
the Orders in Council. His Hon. and Learned
-Friend had been induced to postpone his . motion
until that day, o a the pressing remonstrances of
the Noble Lord and the Vice-President of the
Board of Trade Mild unquestionably it was of the
utmost national consequence, that not a single
further day should' be lost in discus Sing a subject
of such great nation Al importance. If any thing
were wanting to strengthen this impression on
his mind, it would be -,the Petition which he had
yesterday presented from, a number of Merchant
and Manufacturers now itn London, deprecating
all delay. He hoped the Right Mu. Gentleman
would be induced to wave as nr-;,ioe for Thurs-
day, and to fix it for Monday
Mr." BROUGHAM stated;
quenee of the earnest rep“

.

~`_it:.

. c Noble

Lord and his Colleagw2;, • who
sat with the Noble Lord on that
3
he had been induced to postporic
Tuesday, the day on which it was h ,Vi6h
to king it on. _

Mr. CANNING, having formerly Aiven way to

the Orders in Council, which now preceded him,
expressed his determination to adhere to his no-
ticefor Thursday. •
. _

Mr. BROUGHAM then withdrew his motion for
Thursday, with a view of substituting a notice
for Tuesday, in conformity to his orighlai in-
tention.

Lord CASTLEREAGH remonstrated againi_tt this
proceeding which, to the other difficulties -ef the
case, would add the serious one, that a numb er' of
Members who wished to be present at the dis cus-
sion of the Orders in
,Council, had gone out of
town, misled by the notion that that discUssien
would not come on before Thursday at soonest.—
A decision of such moment, under such circum-
stances, would not be very honourable, nor could
it 'carry great weight with it.

Lora MILTON contended that there was ample
time before Tuesday to. enable Members •to pre-
pare themselves for the discussion,'
Mr. BATHURST objected to the acceleration of
notices.

Mr. CANNING stated, as an additional reason for
not postponing the discussion of the Catholic
Question, the necessary absence in a short period
of most of the Irish Members. Ultimately it was
understood that Mr. Brougham's Aiotion was to
take place on Tuesday, and Mr. Canning's on
Thursday next.
