We regret that a misstatement of the observa.
Lions of Lord GWYDIR) who spoke last in the
Debate of Monday night, in the House-of Peers,
should have inadvertently appeared in our Paper of
yesterday. The space which the important De.
bate in the House of Commons last night unavoid-
ably occupies, prevents our giving a detailed ex.
po*ion of his Lordship's arguments in the present
instance; but, we have authority for saying, that so
Tar from having spoken in approbation of the Amend.
Them, he'earnestly deprecatedany thing which roili-
. laced against that appearance of unanimity which was
SP essential in the present crisis, to exhibit to the
!yeti(' at large, and to Europe in particular. That
couiequence of the events so will known to their
ordships, he considered the Cotlntry as placed in
a state of War, and consequently the treaty of
Amiens was no longer in existence. He admitted,
that though the Couotry, was thus circumstanced, it
Was obvious that Propositions might still be enter.
tained ; but the line of conduit to be adopted with
respect to these would entitely depend upon the na.
lure of what was proposed.
