Nr.GOCIATIONS WITH AMERICA.

The order of which their L►rdahips were sum-
!honed bejog rear',

Tice Marquis IVELteney rose to bring forward
his motion for the production of certain farther
cloeninents which ho conceived essentially neces-
sary to, eeable their Lordships to turm a •proper
judgment' of the meri:s, of the Treaty itself. The
Noble Marquis prefaced his motion by a speech
of very great length. In the course of his exor-
nin‘, he observed, it was certainly some consola-
tion to "effect, that in the warfarewil
. which had been recently V::;;,irlated, the
situ' was unistionably (ruin the United States :
that onr-cause was just. But the war iuto which
we had unhappily been so committed, was of a
nature awl character, and more especially was.
made with a country, in which the greatest pus-
StIC.CeSs. on 14tir parts could be att.ended but
leith a degree of glory, and must have been
te:t euded eonsideraCons that embittered even
glw-y itseif Bui where the smallest degree of
defeat vonid be attended only with bittzeness and
•, disgrace. The far the greater
part of his 140rditl,;p's d'scuSsioo,, referred to. the
c"ndue-tof negociations for peace, between
Country and the United_States, and whi6h
lie-
characterised as impolitic, absurd, injudicious,
and in many points of view disgraceful on the
rat of this country, and on'several of the topics
to whiaL he advert d. Ile contended that distinct
and explicit information was necessary, and for
. that he meant to call. The principle on which
tt great part of the Negotiation, on the part of
the British Government proceeded, ,he censured
as aggressive and unjustifiable,. and as directly in
the teeth of those principles, which, for the last
twenty-Jive yeats, they had been contending in
other quarters. Withotit the documents he meant
to call fur, lie -contended their' ,Lordships could
not come to a just decision upon the Treaty itself,
according to the principles which were
laid down in a great part of the Nregociation,
could be neither consistent wit;, the honour of
the country, 'nor with its ultimate security.—
fle more particularly censured the proposition
made for a new line of demarcation south of the
Lakes, as a new boundary for Canada, and which
was termed by the British Diplomatists, according
to the principle of Anacharsis Clootz, the orator
of the human race, the " natural boundary of
"Canala." The impiilicy of the war, and its con-
ftuct in many instances, not only in a military but
la. moral point of view, were 'pointedly considered
by- his- Lordship; particularly the affair at Wash-
ington ; and on this head he disclaimed against
the infliction of all retaliation, except ou a defen-
sive principle. Vindictive retaliation he held as
every way nujustifiable. In the conehtsion.of Iris
address, after an eloquent summary of his leading
points, the Noble Marquis asserted, that by the
treaty we had' gained absolutely nothing but the
discontinuance of war, and tdm cessation of the.
;Slave Trade. All the result of the arrangement
amounted to nothing more titan previously existed.
:lle•tinally concluded by moving—
., That an Address i;e presented to the ,Prince Regent,
humbly reqoesting-his -Royal Highness, that there be laid
before the House copies, Or extracts from alt the Corres-
iiondenee that hail passed hetween his Majesty's Plenipoten-
tiaries and those irons Anierira, during the negociations at
<ihent."
Earl BATHURST said, that if it were to become
a practice to make • the correspondence that had
passed during a negotiation for peace, the subject
of public discussion after its conclusion, nothing
would be more likely to create difficulties in fu-
ture uegociations. -The practice of prematurely
printing and publishing state docoMents . of late
years, bad produced great and serious evils. In,

all diploniatic proceedings, the greatest. delicacy
ought to be observed, and his Lordship was firmly
of, opinion, that the Ainerican Government would
not have published 'that part of the Correspon-
dence which hatl been the subject of so much re-
miirk, if they had not been led to conclude, from
the representations of their Plenipotentiaries at
Ghent, that there was no hope of peace with
this country.. They had matte the publicatiOn in
order to convince the people of the United States,
that our propositions were such as could not be
acceded to ; but they took care not to publish
their own Projet, previously submitted to us, and
which %vas unequivocally rejected, as .totally
incompatible with our just rights. The par-
tial publication, therefore, that had been made
in America, was intended to excite a spirit of
hostility in the. people against this country,
with whom t-hey had then the prospect of
a long continued war ; and the production of the
Papers moved for by the Noble Marquis might he
Considered. as having a precisely similar effect—
. that of reviving feelings of animosity in this court-

try against the people of America, now we were
at peace with theta, and when all that had passed
ought to be forgotten and buried in oblivion. His
Lordship .took
,a retrospective view of the late
American war, tracing it from its commencement
to its conclusion, and stated the cause of the ne-
gociations at iihent to be our positive refusal to
submit to the mediation of the Emperor of lussia
or any foreign Power in a matter, that -conceired
our _maritime rights. We, however,-consented
to treat diractly with. Plenipotentiaries from the
American Government,' and the delay that 1)4
arisen after their.arTival, arose entirely from the.
necessity of their having to send home for fresh
instructions. The first propositions from the
American Government were so preposterous, that
they could not be entertained for a moment on our
part ; for, besides demanding our admission of
their right to carry on a trade as neutrals with bel-
ligerent Powers,they insisted on an indemnification
for their losses, by our paying for all the vessels we
had Seized: under the Orders in Council. Ad-
verting to the propositions in our counter-pro-
ject, which were-finally consented to, his Lord-
ship said, that we never did make the ploposirion.
respecting the Indians a sine qua non, but had
contended for their being protecteC as our Allies,
which was consented to by the American Commis-
sioners. He then alluded-to the capture of Wash-
ington, which had broken the national pride of
the Americans, and passed the highest enlogium
on the bravery and discipline of our troops, who,
by ail the laws of war, might have been justified in
'destroying and plundering the city, in consequence
of tile infamous attempt to assassinate our gallant
ectininauder, after the place had surrendered. Hut
except the destruction of the house from which
the shot was fired, no excess whatever Was com-
mitted. With this tribute of justice to our troops,
and opposing the motion for the Papers, his Lord-
ship concluded a very lucid speeeli.

IiarISTANHoPe reminded the House of the motion
he had made at the begi ;ming of the unfortunate war,
'and took some credit to hiutseif for observing that
. so many Peers had since come over to his way Of
thinking. He had that to mention which -he
thought might tend do away the animosity
unfortunately been excited between
unatAna and America—the law of this COUiltiT
with rtspert to the naturalipition of foreigners.
He their read part of an Act passed in the reign
of Queen Anue, in ti.ie rar 1717, for naturalizing
persons who had served in our Navy. This, he
contended,
_proved, that the principle which we'
reprobated iii America, had been acted upon in
this country, even more than in that"... He was
of opinion, that further information respecting
the origin of the war ;vas necessary, and should
therefore vote for toe 'notion.

LAW -INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BEN'CH, APT.IL 13.

CURIOUS CASE.

DOE ON THE DEM. OF WHITE V. BENFIELD.

Mr. Serjeant BLOSSETT moved for a new trial-of
this ejectment before Mr. Justice 1-lEvrti, at the
last Cambridge Assizes, on the ground, that t!.,e
birth of a child after the death of the huSband,
the wife being then four mouths pregnant, uu_
known to berseir„ and her husband; operated as a
revocation of The husband's will. The rule of law
is, that marriage and the, birth of a chill implied-.
edly revoke a bachelor's ; hut iii the case of
Shepherd v. Shepherd; in The Prerogative Conrt,
it was held by Dr. Hay, that a married man's will
shall not be' set aside by the birth of children. In
the case of Doe v. Lancashire, 5.T. K. 49, it was
held that marriage and the birth of a posthuthous
child amount to an implied revocation of a will
of lands made before marriage ; . but in that case
the pregnancy was known to the husband. . •
The Court sanctioned the opinion of Mr. J.
HEATH, that this was no revocation of she will ;
this was a step beyond Doe v. Lancashire; and it
would have been better if the law hail held only
that marriage should operate as an implied revo-
cation of a will ; that was such an alteration of the
_relations of a man, as might reasonably be sup-
posed, to revoke his will ; but-there would be no
end to revoking, it upon the birth of every ,new
child i besides, a husband might intentionally
suffer his will to stand, front a suspicion that the
child with .which his wife was pregnant was not
his. And Lord ELLENBOROUGLI mentioned an in-
stance of a sailor who, • having early 'in life left
his whole estate to a woman of very ordinary
rank, went abroad and mat tied a lady of fortune,
and at last died possessed ,of. a very large estate,
which went to the woman in whose fasour be had
first made his will, notwithstanding he had ac-
quired the greater part of it by marriage. - .
