traffic which .had given rise to the disputi3. (Hear, hear.)
But the complaint came with a bad grace from Portugal, as
she was not free from blame with respect to that very traffic.
Tb e English Government might regret the hasty mode in
which the French Government had addressed that of Por-
tugal, but he maintained that by the law of nations the pre-
: lence of the delegate took the ship out of the category of
p ira tical ships. Portugal could not claim our interposition
under the treaty of 1703. We had paved the way for a
satis factory settlement in the treaty of Paris. The reason-
ing he believed must ultimately be the reasoning of the
hon., member for Bridgwater. He was justified in this
epttift :n by the circumstance that the hon. gentleman's fin-
putati on against the Government had'. resolved itself into a
mere t notion for papers. (Cheers.)
Sir 1 t. BETHELL moved the adjournment of the debate.
(Cries o.f. "No, no.")
Lord I 'ALMERSTON—As it is not likely that attention
will be paid to hon. gentlemen who may wish to speak, I
think the pi'oposal of adjournment reasonable.
The house having expressed its feeling against adjourn-
ing,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said—l
think we ought to understand what the question is before
the house. (Hear, hear.) I believe that my hon. friend
the Under-Secretary has not refused the motion. Of course,
if there is any desire to continue this conversation—(loud
Ministe rial cheering)--it is not for us to throw any impedi-
ment in the way. (Cheers) The hon. member probably
will find someday. (Laughter.)
Mr. KID GLAKE said that the Under-Secretary had re-
fused to produce the correspondence.
The debate was then adjourneet.
