SPE AKE 1Z- said, he had been informed That

regularity . place delivery
• dace in the

might he. aLcribed- to the eagerness of Members
themselves to get the Papers. He had given orders
that the remainder should be delivered in the Houle,
which would prevent an improper seizure.

PAPERS. • •
Mr. GRIP, in pursuance of the notice Tie, gave
vestertlay, iose to move this day for some (wilier
:Papersjelative to the Negotiat inn. Having, how.
ever, employed his lime since yesterday in etainin."
ing the Papers which baiibecii :Ad before the lipuse, -
it appeared 't him that some further information
iva4 necessary upon itia4 plAti, 1 v-kviOtiti to, the
debate on Monday. In moving for these Pallets,'
which were so Obviously 'oeceksary hat he was eon.
vineed they could not be relthid, he should can-
tiou4y-abstaio. from saying Tiny thing upon the ge«
neral question, or' of piej Aging it in any way.
The 'first point upon_ which he *Anted information
was, respecting that part of the Dcclaration whicit
stated that vinience had t.cen offered. to the Vessels
.11-n1 Property of His NLijcSty's SubjeBs. Upon ihis
pointthere was infoun:ition At:lt:trivet in the
Papers. l'he next pOint upoii us liicli be wished

relatel. to the Commercial
gents, and ‘.•/).tt representations had', been made '
upon the subjeel to the French Government, The
next information he wanted, was . the date of the
Patier of Instru4lions which had been sent to a
'French Agent in Dublin. The next Paper• he should.
nnve for, related to the sending of French Troops
into- Hollan&t he wished to know what__ 'Talon.-
s:-..trees had been rtuttle.to.the French Government
on that.
'CsiJerabke stress had been laid
•
upon . on
EXpreSsions in the review of the state of
France Whicle•had been' laid before the Legislative
Body ; he should move. for, to copy of the remon.
sirances Which had been made upon that subject.
shetild also moire:4ldr a copy of the Answer to the
Tnote presented by our Minister at Paris to the French
G,O,Coint;:ni on the subjett of Switzerland : also. for
the' date of the orders sent out from this Country not
ro gitie.up the Cape and other possessions, which We
were to deliver up by. the 'Treaty of Peace • and
also fur an account Dimly intelligence received by
Goiernmentrelative.to the Cession of Louisiana by
France to America. There was a report in .eircu-
lation,- that such a 'Cession: had been made, and if it
were true, it mast have come to the knowledge of
Ministers:* The last Paper he should move for,
•was the substanee of the infortnation Ministers„bad
received relative to the Armaments in•the Ports of
Fiacte and HollAt;d. He quoted two cases from the
jourtials, the opt in 7756, the other in 7732, when
Motions of a similar tendency had been granted.—
After shortly contending for the necessity of pro,
diming. these Documents, he concluded by moving-
for the radii:llOn of .the first Paper. -
Lard IMO' ICEBURY said, that although by
the. Rules, of the House no more, than one of
.the

motions of. the,Hutt..Gentleman could-be put at one

time, 'yet 'the Eon. GCIItICM4II had candidly
stated them altogether, with his' arguments. with
. uhich Ile supporte:l their prodation, his- Lordship
said lie should assign r:!asons for, the individual vote
he. shoukl„give on this occasion, and take a short
A,iew of what he thought was right to be done.
In the .fir .0 place, he laid thisAown as a rule
for himself, and submitted it. , to the House,
that nothing should be done now which might
operate to prejUdge the question which was to be
discussed on Monday. Thcre were, however, some
things very material to be considered by the livuse.
If the Finn. Gentleman t..Uppose4 that fiis Majesty's
Minisrers, considered Qny one particular subjea of

complaint, and made /hat a substantive ground for
`War, without consideving them in the aggtegae,
be was ;matt. a mistake. .Government had done in
this case, what lie apprehended Government should
always do on a like occasion ; they had judged of
whale mass.as it stood before them. His
jesty's Declaration, and the• Papers now before the
House, stated a number of fats as causes of corn.
plaint against the Government of France, some of
whic,h might in themselves, and independently .of
any conoexicn with. other circumstances,. be piaci,
liable-,.causes of War ; whether
,they were so or
not,: lie would not ok;w consider ;'yet it would,
he presumed, be admitte,i, that althOugh not one
(ff.:them was a ju:Aitiable cause' of War, yet all of
them united might form ,a body of evidence, Mani.
festing an hostile in the Party opposed to us,
•k a rPnt fr,..n on the de.
session on our part. lie wished, therefore, th.it the
House, in considering this question,, would bear in
mina, that in each particular instance His Majesty's
Ministets, as he should contend, would appear to
lie actuated by a desire to Preserve Peace, as long
as it could he preserved with honour ; and that on
the part of France there was a systematk eonduti,
;searing proof', in a great number of instances,, of an
hostile mina towards this Country. He stated this
as the general view which His Majesty's Govern.
men; had of this subj...d, and the ground on which
they instiiied their condud, and on which they should
submit it to 'the I-louse and to the Pnblie.'; With
regard to the first point in the motion of the Hon.
Gentleman, namely, the representation or tertian-
ctrance made by. our Ambassador at Paris on any
pf the sUbjcaS of complaint, to learn whether any
satisfadory .o saver had been given, instead of
waiting: for the result of all the Negotiation, he
bad to observe, that the words of the Declaration
are, not that.satisfailion had been refused,, bur that
np sa!istaaory answer had been made, for there
was an obvious aistialion between refusing alto.
settler to give a satisfa4ory answer,, and evading
it ; the one being a dire 6 instati.the other some.
thing vety different, The Hon, Gentleman was
riot quite correct when:he said there was. no Wm:-
oration in this partietilar, for 'my Lind Whit.
. "• •

worth had, stirted some conversation lie had had
mitb the Chief Consul himself,.on some Firticulars
of this nature; and having made these few. obser-
vations, his Lordship said, he should not. objeCt to
this motion of the Hon. Gentlernan for ho one
piuld desire morellian he did, to give as ample in.
farrnatio„ as pogsiwe upon every branch of this
inost imporract subject. With regard to the second
.point in the, motions of the_flon. Gentleman, namely,
that which related to COmmercial Agents sent to this
Couniry from France, he had to observe, that although
in this case there Was no. proof of an hostile antowards
this Ciontiy,' there was touch
,suspicion that these
persons had instratirmi.of a nature stated' in, the
Appendix of tittioport. His Majesty's Govern.
trent thought it improper that they should' be so
continued in this. Country ; staled that, -not in a
Note to the French Ambass,ador, but desired that
they should be ordered to withdraw, and several of
.them wtre withdrawn accordingly; but no'written
reprcsvniation, upon this subject existed, With
respeet to the third Motion of the Hon. Gentleman,
n tmety, on. the ad ftemonstrance me on the subject
vi Repre'sentatio- n to the 'Legislative Body, his
Lordship fad no difficulty in staring, that no formal
Itcprescotation was Madc on that subject, neither'
did his LOrdship conceive 'it to'be a subject capable
of a. forthal Representation. Very considerable
doubts might be entertained on that subj4t,' but 'it
made. part of the manifestation of the hotiiiie
mind of Fraite towards us—.4ll'which tvould be for
tht conslderaticin 01 the House and of-the Public.
With regard to the Answer respeetingSwiterland,.
the.state of that transaCtion was this :—Thc House
would see by the Papers before it, that the Cont.:
ronnication upon that SubjeCt was, by a note firer.

Wa have to announce the first Capture since the
'commencement of Hostilities. Yesterday a Vessel
(we should suppose Dutch, from the name) from
Ceuta for Amsterdam, laden with Wine and Brandy,
Was sent into Do;ver by the- Fixes Gun,vessel.

A Debate took ptacein the House of Commons
last night, on the produAion of some further In-
formation relativit to, the Negotiation between this
Country and FranCe ; but it was agreed on all sides,
that nothing shquld pass that miiht operate to pre.
judge the question tube discussed on Monday. It did
come out, however, in the Debate, that Fremce, in
order to quiet the Americans, had made a cession
to them. of Louis/out. This proves how much the
Chief Consol was afraid of provoking the United
States to a War with' him, of which 'there seemed a
trong probability, and %t hich the measure that he
has taken was certahily the b'est, if not the only
means of preventing. This Cession, however, is
made under colour of its being received in liquid&
tion' of certain Debts by French to American Sub-
jetts, and which the American Government now
undertake to pay.
VestertlAy Cabinet Council was held, after
which Mr. StrAW was seat to Paris with a Dispatch
to Me. TALam,,Secretary to the British Embassy,
whotn Lord Wn rwottr it left behind. There are
those who still think that Peace May be restored. His
Majesty's Declaration certainly holds out every fa-
cility for an arrapgertnnt bet,veeen the two Coun.
•
tries, but this arrangement must be the result of a
New Negotiation, and should such he entered upon,
of which we 'at present see little or no hope, we
shall prosecute the-War, we trust, with vigour, till
we are assured Secure and honourable Peace.
Consols were this day tit twelve at 60.

Tam morning we received Po7;s Palers to the

The Moniteur is entirely silent with reApeei to

respea to the difference* whichhave arisen betweeii
Fratrie arid Eagland..- It is added, that in come—
quence. of this important -news, a Courier was7itu-
mediately expedited to London. It is certain that
private Letters from Petertburib confirm what hai
already been said, that the Emperor ALExiiitnart.
is resolved to use all his influence to maintain the
Peace of Europe." The same Paper states, thit
the dispute between the United States of AMerica,
and the Court of Spain has been happily tenni.•
Hated, and that a concession is spoken of, as having
been made to the United States.

• By.the same accounts we learn, that the Court of
Vienna has addressed a declaration to the English
and French Ministers in that Capital, stating that
His.ImpERIAL MAjEii'Y had decided to preserve
the most strip`} Neutrality, in the event of Hostilities
between France and England.
-Letters from Peteriburgh, dated the 19th ult.
state, that the Swedish Ambassador in that Capital
