placed upon the fatal last session, to facilitate the col-
lection of judicial sta.tistics.

The Earl of CLARENDONPERSIA. said Olaf-, seeing the
noble earl (Albemarle) bad a motion on the paptr fur
this evening, be ventured to appeal to him, because at
this moment negotiations were going on at Paris in re-
hpect to our rclationa with Persht. This morning be bad
received a communication from Paris, stating that satis-
factory progress was being 'made, and under such cir-
cumstances, be thought that any diecu.9eion at the

stances, he would withdraw the motion that stood in hi
name this evening.
The motion was accordingly withdrawn.
