HOUSE OF PEERS,

THURSDAY, FEBRUAKY 1.

The Annual Papers were presented from the
Customs, and ordered to, lie on the table.

Mr. Johnstone presented a Report of the. Co-
mmissioners of Inquiry into the Public Expenditure of
Ireland ; ordered to lie on the table.

Ily a Message from the Commons it was request-
ed that James, Earl of Rosslyn, be permitted to at-
tend in the House of Commons, to give evidence on
the Inquiry into the Walcheren Expedition.
A Message was ordered to be returned to the
Commons, informing them, that it would be left
to Lord Rossiya to attend, if he thought iit.

LORD GAMBIER.
The Earl of LivERPOOL gave notice, that the mo-
tien to which he referred on a former evening (of
thanks to Lord Gambier) would be brought forward,
on Thursday next, when he hoped his Noble
Friend (Lord Muigrave) would be able to attend in
his place.
Tile Earl of GROSVBNOR signified his intention of
moving for a copy of Lord eoehrane's letter to the
Admiralty on the subject of the intended Vote of
Thanks to the Noble Admiral.
Lord LlvEitrooL wished the Noble Lord to
defer t. is motion till Monday or Tuesday, v.-lien the
Noble Lord at the head of the 'Admit-11:y would be
present to give his opinion on the matter.

AMERICA.
Lord GaRY rose, pursuant to notice, to move for
several documents respe6ing the late Treaty with
America. His objet in moving for them was to
ascertain how far the eohduct of Mr. Erskine, in
negociating that Treaty, washable to blame. Hav-
ing thus stated the chief object of his motion, he
should ❑ot now oder any further observation upon
it, until the-Papers were before the House, His
Lordship concluded- with moving for the corres-
pondence since April last, between Mr. Canning
and Mr. Erskine, particularly the instruaions sent
out to Mr. Erskine, and Mr. Erskine's. letter
to Mr. Smith, Secretary of the American. Govern-
ment. •

The Marquis of WELLESLEY thought that as the
Papers moved for by the Noble Lord referred to a
transaction that was row passed, he was not aware
of any objection to the production of them. As, ►
however, the Noble Lord's' motion referred to all
the instruaions with which Mr. Er,kine has been
foinishe;l, he thought it might- b,.-!'produced to bring
forward some more Papers than th)se moved for
by the Noble Lord.. Ttte matter he should „make
it his business to inquire into, and if. he thought
th., production of any mute Papers necessary, -he
ahoutd move for then. on Monday next.
Lola GREY'S motion was agyeed to,
Lord ERSKINE could not omit the present occa-
sion of offering a few observations to their Lord-
ships. It had been rumoured that his near relation,
in negociating the Meaty with America, had leant
rather to the political opinion on that suojeet of the
Side of the House on which he sat,.than to those of
his Majesty's Ministers. Into the grounds of this ru-
mour he had anxiously inquired, and found to his
satisfaction that the report was wholly without
foundation. Had he discovered that his son was
justly liable to the charge of such a derelidion of
duty and such a breach of confidence, nearly and
dearly as he was connected with him, he never
would have spoken to hitn.---But whenever he
touched upon this subject he trusted it should ap-
pear that he spoke as a statesman and a Peer of
the Realm, and not from the bias of any personal
motive or personal connection.
Lord LIVERPOOL wished to know when a Noble
Marquis (Lansdowne), whom he now saw in his.
place, would bring forward his motion for further
Papers relative to the Walcheren Expedition, and
what would be the particular tendency of his mo-
tion ?
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE in reply observed,
that on account of the inconvenience which some
Noble Lords would experience if he brought. for-
ward his motion on Monday next, -it was now his
intention not to bring it forward till Monday fort-
night. As to theparticular shape of his motion; he
had not yet made up his mind on the subjea, but as
soon as he did, be should lake care to make a com-
munication of it to the Noble Lord.
THE NAVY.

Lord ABERDEEN gave notice; that a Noble Friend
of his (Lord Melville) intended to submit a motion
to their Lordships on the subje&s of the Reports of
Naval Inquiry, and that he would bring forward
that motion on Friday se'onight, for which day their
Lordships were ordered to be summoned.
It was ordered, that no Repo:t on Private Bills be
made to the House atter the tst of March, or no
