IMPERI4L PARLIAMENT. ,

HOUSE OF PEERS,
WEDNESDAY, FEB. 3.

THE House met this day in pursuance of the
last Adjournment.
A great deal of private business was transafteci,
such as receiving a number of Petitions relative to
Appeal Causes, and nuking arranp,ements for the
hearing of several of those which were already be-
fore the House.

One or two Private Bills were also forwarded.
Soon after Lord PELHAM entered the House

Lord HOLLAND rose, and called their Lord_
ships' attention to the circumstance of the Treaties
which were in negotiation between this Country
and the Courts of Sweden and Denmark. These
involved considerations of the highest political im-
portance, and he thought it proper that the House
should receive some information respeeting them,
the more especially', as the Negotiation with Swe-
den included a question in which the two other
Powers were not implicated. He therefore wished
to learn from the Noble Secretary of State, whether
the Treaties ir, question were yet arrived, and
whether it was proposed, shortly, to make any com-
munication to Parliament upon the subject. The
Noble Lord also referred to the circumstance of his
having voted with Ministers in favour of the Ad-
dress on the Convention with Russia, which he
seemed to say, he was the rather inclined to do,
front what had then fallen from Ministers, of the
strong probability of the Courts of Stockholm and
Copenhagen speedily acceding to that Convention.

Lord PELHAM, in the course of his observations
on what fell from the Noble Lord, adverted to the
obvious impropriety of directly answering such ques-
tions in the way they were put by his Lordship ;
the pradice, at least, was unparliamentary and ir-
regular ; and he must protest against that mode of
putting such questions to Ministers, on the part of
individual Peers, on subjects which were not before
Parliament, or in a regular train for coming under
its discussion. With respell to the Noble Lord's
questions, in the present instance, (after observing
on what had fallen from him in regard to the Pro-
ceedings on the Convention with Russia, that Mi-
nisters then stated, that the Courts of Sweden and
Denmark had been invited to accede to that Con-
vention, a measure which was obviously of a very
desirable nature), the Noble Secretary proceeded
to state, that in the way he understood them, he
could, in the present circumstances, only state, that
the Treaties alluded to were not yet arrived, and
which, he seemed to say, was to be accounted for,
on various grounds, such as the circumstances of the
times, the state of the seasons, and so on ; but,
that, when these Treaties should be received, he
had no doul4t of his having it in command from
Hts MAJESTY, in due time, to lay them before the
House. t

Lord HOLLAND, in reply, observed, that he
would agree with the Noble Secretary, that the
praaice of putting such questions as he had done,
to any individual Peer, was neither parliamentary
nor regular. Ho did it, I,,,,rever, in the present in__
stance, merely to save the House that trouble which
must attend the regular mode of couching them in
the shape of a Motion. With respea to his mo-
tives for putting the questions he had done, he could
assure the House, it was not in the least, as the
Noble Lord seemed to him to imagine, to embarrass
His Majesty's Ministers; but on this head he could
not help adverting to the circumstance that the discus.
sion of the Convention with Russia had been, in one
instance, put off for a fortnight on the suggestion of
Ministers, and in the avowed hope that within that
interval the Ratification of that Treaty, on the parts
of Denmark and Sweden would arrive. On that occa
sion he had voted f.. the Address, on a principle of
confidence, which certainly he was not in the habits
of doing; and he must observe, that as things had
since turned out, such a vote was rather immature.
ly given. His condua in that instance, he observed,
had rather lain on his mind since ; Obis remark ex-
cited a general smile in the House) and it was with
the view in some degree of satisfying it, that he
had proposed the questions.
The House then, on the Motion of Lord PEL-
HAM, adjourned till Friday.

HOUSE OF COMMONS,

WEDNESDAY, FED. 3.

MR. FOSTER took the oaths and his seat.
Lord GLENBERVIE moved, that the Aa of
the 38th of Geo. 111. cap. 57, might be read : it
was, he said, an At for encouragtng the Southern
Whale Fishery.
The At was read by the Clerk. _

His Lordship then said, it had been found ne-
cessary to enlarge the limits of this Fishery rather
more to the East than it at present extended, and
to this proposition the East India Company had no
objeaion. It had also been thought adviseable to
extend their Charter for five years longer; he should
therefore move, that the House should, tomorrow,
resolve itself into a Committee, to take the said
Act into consideration.

Lord GLENBERVIE then moved, that the 29th
Geo. 11. cap. 39, should be read ; which was, he
said, an At for regulating the Fish Markets of
London and Westminster, and for preventing the
forestalling of abh.
The Aft having. been read,

Lord GLENBERVIE said, that by this Act it
was enaded, that fish should be sold within one.
week after it was brought to market. The words
of the Act were general, and-had been construed to-
extend to Eels; now the same kind of reasoning
which applied to other fish, most undoubtedly did
not extend to Eels, because there was not the same
reason for their immediate sale. He should, there-
fore, with the permission of the House, move for
leave to bring in a Bill to repeal so much of the
said A6t as related. to Eels.
Leave was given to bring in the Bill.
Mr. W. WY NNE said, previous to. the Re-
cess he took the liberty of stating his design of call-
ing the attention- of the House to the propriety of
compelling those Debtors of large property, wbo

preferred Hying extravagantly in a Prison, to Ole
payment of their just debts, to surrender their pro-
perty, to satisfy their Creditors. He now rose to
give notice, that he should on Monday next submit
a Motion for leave to bring in a Bill to extend the
provisions of the Lords MI:
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
moved, that the Order of the Day should be read
for going into a Committee of Supply.
The Order being read, he moved that the House
should resolve itself into the said Commi►cee on Fri.
day next.—Ordered.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then
moved, that the Order of the Day should be read for
going into a Committee of Ways and Means.
The Order being read, he moved that the House
should resolve itself into the said Committee on
Friday next.—Ordered.

Adjourned at a Quarter past Four till To-mor-
row.
