NORWAY.
Lord HOLLAND. seeing the Noble Earl (Liver-
pool) in his place; was desirous to be informed by
him, whether Norway was: included in the recent
Convention for the porpoie.of Peace ?
The Earl of LIVERPOOL felt no hesitation in
replying to the Noble Baron, that Norway was not
included in the Convention.
Earl GREY wished to learn from the Noble Earl,
whether any orders had been issued by Government
for the blockading of the ports of Norway ?
• The Earl of LIVERPOOL stated that such orders
had been issued by his Majesty's Government.
Eirl GREY expressed the deepest regret at what
he had jtist heard, and trusted that his Noble Friend
(Lord H Band) would Make a specific motion' on
the subject.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL had no objection to
any motion which either of the Noble Lords might
be inclined to make. He only hoped, that before a
motion t'n the subject alluded to should be offered
to the House, the Noble Mover would have in-
formed himself of all- the material circumstances
eel4orio to it.
li. al GR,EY then,'affer some private conversation
\with Lor t H band, gave notice that he should next
tt..n fay move for Copies nt the Orders issued by the
Adatilatty tor blockading the Ports of Norway.
*AnonAl WILLINGEON.
..srte Luke of NOKFOLK wished to know whether
- it was the intention \of the Noble Earl -opposite
Live, p iot), or of any Other *Noble Lord, for move
o,Vote of Thanks to 'the Marquis of Wellinron,
ftw tiirf tecent victory before Toulouse. In L.'s
opiiiitia. such a compliment was justly due to that
ahht•C'mhtander, and be hoped that it would not be
omitted.
The gad of LIVERPOOL could not reply di-
rectly to the question of the Noble Duke. He could'
that there was not at present any intention
of such 4 motion.
(, CORN LAWS.
The Margo& of LANSDOWNE presented a Pe-
tit; iron, the Cultivators of Corn in the Queen's
Cotiety (Ireland), praying that their Lordships
would take into their serioos consideration a Revision
of the Coin Laws.
.Earl S rA NHOPE, adverting to the notice which
had Cava given by a Noble Earl (Grey) of a motion
for certain papers on Monday, was desirous to remind
their Lordships that they were already summoned on
oloblect of. the highest importance, respecting civil
liberty, on that day.
MIAMI! COLLEGE.
Upon the Order of the Day for the second reading
of the Dulwich College Bill—
Lord HOLLAND entered into a wide view of
the Charter, and of the intention of the founder, Mr.
Allen. By the letter of the Charter, the Master and
Wirden were prohibited from marrying. But that
was'a restriction which ill many similar institutions
had, by the liberality of more recent times, and by
the wisdom of the Legislature, been dispensed with.
The present Bill went only to take off the rtstriciion
from the Master, and, he trusted that, whateier ob-
jection* Might, be urgod • against it, their Lordships
would at. feast to proceed to a Corn-
- mime, in.whict., be wined he should be able ttY the*
such abuses, no yenta convince 4. House of he eg-
pedieney o the In.
The -Doke of NORFOLK disapproved of the in-
terssence of the ROOK; PC of the Legislature, in
shaking or unsettling, .without necessity, the delibe-
rate will of en individoal; If the. conditions on
whicb:4lr. Allen codoived The College of Dulwich

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
r• Mr. WORTLEY gave notice that be would, on Monday next,
move for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the Act of the 38th
of the Ring, intituled the Highway Act.
The Irish Ecclesiastical Courts Bill was ordered to be read a
second time on Monday next.
Sir FRANCIS BURDETTlpiraiented a Petition from the in-
habitants bf St. Martin's-lisOndsd against the Post-office Bill,
which, together with the Sills.wast ordered•to be referred to a
Select Comtnittee.
Mr. STEPHEN gave notiesi that be would, on Tuesday next,
move that an humble Addressbe presented to his Royal High-
ness the Prince Regent, praying that he would use his influenee
with the Allied Princes in the Congress that was about to be
held, for the purpose cf obtaining a general and federal abolition
of the slave trade. He said that it was not the conversation of
yesterday which had given birth to the present notice; that an
Hon. Friend of Ms had intended to bring forward the subject,
but had been prevented by indisposition.
Mr. S AM UIL THORNTON moved that there be laid before
the House an Acoount of Monies expended by the Commis-
sionen for liquidating the Natidnal Debt ; as also the quantity
and rate of Stodt purchased by them front April, 1801, tin the
latest period to which such an account could be made out.
The Hackney Poor Bill was ordered to be read a second dine
on Tuesday next.
Mr. ROSE brought in a Bill to amend and explain the Act of
the 43d of the King, respecting the trade of this country. Read

next
The Reports of the Corruption of Blood and the High Trea-
son Punishment Bills wee brought up, the amendments read
and agreed to, and the Bills ordered to be engrossed and read a
third time on Monday next.
NORWAY.
Mr. WYNNE, on rising to bring forward the
motion, of which he had given notice; with respect
to our relations with Norway, did not mean tore-
quire any information' as to the measures that were
to be had recourse to...against that country ; all he
wished to have declared was, whether or not we were
at war with its people? It had been said, indeed,
that we never bad acknowledged a Norwegian na-
tion ; but it Would be in the recollection of the House,
that we had remained at peace with France for seve-
ral months after that country had become a ltepub-
lk ; thereby recognizing the new form of Govern-
ment. All he wished to know was, whether the
Government had given orders to prevent the inter-
course of the Norwegians with the rest of Europe,
and thereby commencing direct hostilities agkinut
them? He would move for copies of any instruc-
tions that had been given to naval cornmaners,l
with respect to a blockade of the ports of Norway.---t
The necessity for such a motion, however, could be
obviated By a very few words, and he wished it
might be so.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER'
said, that the subject was one of peculiar delicacy,
4on which it was expedient to defer giving any very,
full information, but he had no hesitation in saying,
for the satisfaction of the Hon. Gentleman, that
orders had been issued by this Government, by Swe-
den, and the other Allied Powers, for the blockade
of Norway.

TREMOLO PROPERTY.
On the Order of the Day being read for Sir Sa-
muel Romilly's Bill, to make Freehold property
liable to simple 'contract debts, going to a Com-
mittee,
Serjeant BEST rose to oppose the Speaker's leav-
ing the Chair. He said the Bill was unnecessary;
inasmuch as the Freehold property of any dkbtor war
already, by the existing laws, liable to his creditor,
'provided such creditor dld nut neglect certain stipu-
lation* •surd forms of cdntract which it was always,
-free for him to have recourse to.
Mr. PRESTON was'of opinion, that the ;here-
tion'of the law now proposed was one loudly called
for ; he saw no reason why the ,death of a debtor
should frustrate the just claims of his creditors on hisl
property.
Sir ARTHUR PIGGOTT thought, that it teat
contrary to- every principle of justice; that a meal
should be possessed of property and should be Adel
to wrest it from the payment of his debts. , The law I
of the country ought, in his opinion, to be redeemed
from the odium under which it had lain on this head
for upwards of three centuries. It was a melancholy
thing to consider, that a set of wealthy men, whose',
palaces, to use the words of a celebrated Poet, rose
like exhalations, and whose equipages shone like me-!
teors, should be able to will property to their bas-
tards and mistresses, whiCh in justice belonged. to,
their creditors.
Mr. WETHERALL was friendly to the measure
which h. made the properties of persons embarked
in extensive mercantile dealings liable to their credi-
tors; but he saw no good ground why the situation
of creditors and persons of landed property should
be alter ed.
Mr. STEPHEN, after complimenting Sir Samuel
Romilly, observed, that he had taken the strong and
safe ground of common justice and moral obligation.
Was the duration of a law, even supposing it to be
a cunveoience, to be weighed one moment against
the principles of obvicius right and natural equity ?
It had, been said, that frandident claims might be
made upon the estate of a person deceased ; but were
not all such claims to be supported by evidence ? and'
could they be legally enforced until established by
legal proof t—({Year, /rear.)
Mr. LOCKHART supported the gill.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL felt himself to be
under the necessity of resisting the present measure,
By the Statute of Henry VIII. the old law was al-
tered,
and a full power given of devising away,
landed property. In the reign of William, this power
was limited, and it appeared sufficient to the Leopis-
lature of that day to make the estate of the devises
or heir liable in debts of specialty. He had not heard
any sufficient argument urged for now going further,
and repealing a state of the law which had been so
long administered and approved by the judicial au'
thorides of this country.
Mr. DAVIES 'GIDDY opposed the Bill.
Sir SAMUEL RomILLy
_replied, He stated,
that by his Bill landed estates were made equitable,,
not legal assets, for the discharge of simple contracts,i
in order to avoid a multiplicity of forms and expense
'to which the recovery of the claim would be subject
.by the proceedings id a Court of Law. It certainly
'would not apply to the case of a purchaser; all the
would do was to place tite simple contract andi-
,tor upon the same footing as the'claimant upon bond
* specialty. He was the testi surprised at the :ago.
'ments which hid been used in opposition by his Host.
and Learoed grkcatis. They left it hard to by
themselves from professional habits.' bad otr

tent that side of the qh^tion which may not, have t
.tjae.best ; in doing so he of cootie availed himself o
every point which his mind suggested. In thiisitua-
Cum were his Learned Friends opposite-4 Great
laughter.) The subject, however, was one Avhkh al-
lowed no latitade of objection. Was a man to,be al-
lowed to raise money upon fair and equitable terms,.
and afterwards to convert the money so raised into a
freehold estate, which he devised as he pleased, and
then defrauded the persons by the use of whose pro-
perty he had made the purchase in cluestion—enrich-
ing his heirs at the expence of his just creditors ? It
bad been said, that these cases were made ideal : the
fact was, the reverse. • It would be invidious to men-
tion names, but he perfectly remembered two cases
of consequence which had not remotely occurred; one
in which an individual procured a loan of between 4
or i 500,000, and purchased an estate of £13,000
' per anuum, without even repaying a pound of the
original debt. In the other a property of £9OOO a
year, acquired in a similar manner, was inherited,
and the original lenders received only a composition
0t1i5..6.1. in the pound. Any person of estate could
raise money from the confidence which the possession
naturally inspired, it was therefore just that equal
protection should be afforded chi creditor—and it
would often be found, that death alone revealed the
debt, and with it the total privation of the creditor's
claim. He concluded by eloquently pointing out the
strange anomaly which the case- of bankruptcy pre-
`Mated ; herethe victim was hunted down by the al.
'Mina' law for a moral offence precisely of the same
'class, though, .indeed, not so extensive as that for
;Which the civil law afforded no redress. The present
'yew m of the latter, putting an end to the honest'
claim of some meritorious creditor, often perhaps led
to his bankruptcy, and consigned his family to in-
The individual who rioted in opulence, (Mho.'
aestly wrung from industrious bands, now looked with
contempt upon the punishment inflicted by his posses-
sion of ill-earned wealth, and was often loaded with
wealth and honours, while the miserable tradesman of
himself, or his predecessor, sunk in disgrace. wretched-
ness, and want—(llear, Anse.) He could not conclude
without expressing his astonishment, in a country like
this, at the contempt so generally levelled at trades-
men and manufacturers—{Hear, hear.)

NANTZ; APRIL 22.
The Amerieatt Consdhere has communicated the
following details received by the American ship
Kemp, Captain Jacob, recently arrived from St. Do•
mingo
" Cape Town is in a good eOndition, with the ex-
ception of ab .iit one third of the houses, which have,
not been rebuilt ; and when Christi-The is in want of
building materials, he pulls down a house in the
Town, and sends the materials to the place which
he inhabits, about 12 or 15 miles from the Cape,
which he has completely fortified. Captain Jacob
thinks that 100,000 men would not dislodge him.
aa He has recently invited from St. Christopher's
one of his nephews, a very intelligent negro : in con•
cert with him, he makes every cargo which arrives at
the Cape, pass through 'his hands : the inhabitants
are, therefore, under the necessity of purchasing from
him every thing which they want, and at any price
he pleases. • He seizes . one third of the produce
brought from the country to the markets ; cultiva-
tion is consequently much neglected : coffee is, how-
ever, plentiful, and is sold at five or six sous per lb.
There is but little sugar made, and that is of bad
quality, it sells for 8 sous.
" The town at the Cape ii governed by an intelli-
gent Mulatto, who is much beloved, and is the sworn
enemy of Christophe's nephew. Baron Dupe, ano-
ther sensible Mulatto, possesses Chtistophe's entire
confidence: the latter reigns by means of a most
frightful system of despotism : his orders are accom-
panied with this threat, " Your head shall answer for
the execution !" He never visits the Cape but to re-
view his troops, twice a month. His cavalry is su-
perb, and consists cf. ghost 1000 well-Mounted dra-
goons. As to the infantry, it would be difficult to
ascertain their numbers: they are in a most deplo-
rable condition, and almost naked : a piece of red
cloth on the breast, is the only mark which they have
of being soldiers.
.4 The houses almost every where are destroyed,,
and the negroes live in the 'woods : they cultivate nol
more than barely supplies them with food. 1
" Dry goods, and wines of every kind, are vet,
abundant, and touch cheaper than in Europe : ardent
spirits are very rare: eatables are plentiful.
6, There are only six or eight white Frenchmen at
the Cape, and these are very 0121 men. There are
sevtral English and American houses, and an Ent
lish Consul.
44 When Captain Jacob came away, on the 9th of
March last, there were in the harbour laden and
.ready to sail; seven American and ten English vessels.
" Christophe's fleet is composed of one brig of 18
carronades 32-pounders, and a galliot ; his convoys
Mitre protected toCayes.
" For a long time there have been very few :mimic
affairs between Him and ?aim ; the latter governs
at Port-au-Prince with snitch moderation and hu-
manity ; he is said to be surrounded with intelligent
men, to whose councils lie invariably listens." •
