IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT,

HOUSE OF LORDS—(This Evening.)
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woclsack
at five
Lord DUNGAR VAIN gave notice that to-mor-
row he should put a question to the Postmaster-
General as to whether any arrangement had
been come to with respect to the establishment
of a new steam-packet communication between
Holyhead and Kingstown ; and on Monday week he
should ask the President of the Council whether her
Majesty's Government intended making any alteration
in the system of granting tickets-of-leave, or of returning
to the system of transportation.
PERSIA.

The Earl of ALBEMARLE said it was his intention
on Monday next to move for returns of the total ex-
penses of the diplomatic mission to the Court of Persia
for the year 1783 to that of 1814, comprehending the
whole of the expenses incurred by the English Govern-
ment and the East India Company on account of the
British Legation of Persia for the last year, for which
the account might be furnished. In bringing for- I
ward this motion he had no intention to an-
ticipate the discussion upon the course taken by
her Majesty's Government in advising the Crown to
declare war with Persia, but rather to raise the question
as to what w would be the future policy of the Govern-
ment towards that State. On a future occasion it was
his intention to move that the diplomatic relations be-
tween this country and Persia be ❑ot renewed.
THE CHINESE WAR.

The Earl of ELL ENBOROUGEI asked the noble
earl the Secretary for Foreign Affairs whether it was the
intention of the Government to produce the deposition
of Mr. Kennedy relative to the alleged outrage of the
Chinese author. ties by the lorcba Attow ; also as to
whether he would lay on the tat is a copy of a despatch
from the Government at home to Sir J. Bowring,
authorising him to demand from the Chinese
at Canton a fulfilment of the treaty relating to
the free access to the cities, more particularly Canton.
The Earl of CLARENDON said the deposition of
Mr. Kennedy was included in the papers laid upon the
table of the house. The delay that had occurred in the
presentation of the papers was in consequence of its being
desirable to add to them a map of Canton. With respect
to the other question, no specific instructions had bees
given to Sir J. Bowring by the Government beyond
those which he had received upon leaving this country.
On his arrival at Canton, it appears • that he demanded
ae interview, which was refused.
Toe Earl of DERBY (atpressed a hope that the papers
relative to Persia would b'X laid on the table with the least
possible delay. He wished to know whether they would
be laid on the table next week I

The Earl of CLAREINTDON said the papers would be
laid on the table in a few days. The reason be could
not state the precise day was tLat negotiations were
going on at Paris.
The Earl of DERBY said such a circumstance was no
reason for del ►y ; but ho did not ask for papers which
were connected with matters now under negotiation,
but for the papers which led to the war.
After a short conversation the subject dropped.

THE EARL OF CARDIGAN AND HIS
REVIEWERS.

The Eall of CARDIGAN rose to put a question to
the nobl. lord the Secretary of War. The question
which he wished answered had reference to a subject of

defamation of character of officers holding commis
sions in the army. The, usual course had been that
rearess for maligning of character was had by a personal
meeting, but public opinion had undergone a great

~, .
change in that respect, and the I%w had been rendered
most seven, with reference to affairs of honour. The only
resource left was an applicati,m to the anthorides.
His (Lord Cardigan's) character had oee.n seriously
maligned, and Lis reputation had been assailed in a most
.._

unjustifiable manner by an officer holding bsr Alajtsty's
commission. • Ile had written a work In a feigned name,
but the author was no other than 1110 j Calthorp. That
officer had admitted that two ot• three allegations were
untrue, and he had explained the.others in such an
offensive manner that his explanations were perfectly
unsatisfactory, and the reason he stated for not publicly
withdrawing themi altogether was, that it would lie in-
convenient to himself.

Lord PANMURE regretted that the noble earl
bad taken the canna he bad done. Ile thought
that after haviog obtained the approbation of the late
Llrd Raglan, and also the thanks of this house, he
should not gave taken any notice of the circumstance he
had alluded to. He agreed with the Commander-in-

Chief, that no notice could b© taken of any more publi-
cations. If sue.' was done the government of the army
would be impossible.
