ROYAL COMMISSION.

The SPEAKER, on his return, announced that the
Royal Assent had been given to various Bills (for which
tee Lord's Report).

TEXAS.

Sir R. PEEL brought up certain papers by command
of her Majesty. He said they were breviates cf the
ratified treaties between the agents of the British
Government and Texas, with regard to which a
question had been put to him on a previous evening ;
the Government acting on almost uniform usage, had
thought it its duty to allow them.
Mr. O'CONNELL wished to know whether the Go-
vernment had received any information, with respect to
the blockade of the west coast of America by the Texian
Government. The smallest extent of that coast was
700 or 800 miles, and the question he wanted to ask
was, whether the Right Hon. Baronet was prepared to
lay before the House any information as to the probabi-
lity of the Texian Government making that blockade
effectual, it being generally understood that their fleet
only consisted of two or three vessels ?
Sir R. PEEL said, that the last accounts received
from Mexico stated that no efficient blockade had been
formed on the part of the Texians. He earnestly hoped
that such would be proved to be the case, and that no
such blockade would be found to be exercised. He
could, however, give no assurance on the subject other
than that, up to the date of the last accounts, no effec-
tual blockade had been instituted.
STADE DUTIES.

Mr. HUTT gave notice that on the 21st of July, he
should move for the production of all correspondence
between the British and Hanoverian Government on
the subject of the Stade Duties.
!BRIBERY BILL.

Mr. REDDINGTON asked the Right lion. Baronet,
as the Bribery Elections Bill had almost arrived at
its last stage whether he would allow him to take the
two last motions on it to-morrow evening at an early
hour.
Sir ROBERT PEEL said he had given the Noble
Lord, the Member for London, precedence to-morrow
evening, but it was absolutely necessary that the
Government should take a vote of supply either
to-morrow evening or on Monday at farthest.
It was probable that they would not get into the Com-
mittee of Supply at a very early hour to-morrow even-
ing, on account of the motion of the Hon. Member for
Greenock ; he could net, therefore, concede precedence
to the Hon. Member to-morrow. _ _ _

Mr. REDINGTON then moved the Order of the Day
for proceeding with the Bill on Wednesday next.
Mr. SHIEL said he also had given notice of a motion
in Committee of Supply, to-morrow evening, but in
consequence of the inconvenience it would be to public
business he would postpone it to some other day.
Sir R. PEEL said he was much obliged to the Right
Hon. Gentleman. He was sure the House would not
blame him for the delay in going into the Committee of
Supply, as it was in consequence of the discussions on
the tariff.
