He had certainly not intended to bring it down eat Le:
than the ordinary time of his coming to the Hoese.
He was rather surprised at the objection made by the
Hon. Gentleman to the day which had been !tned
for its consideration, as early in the week he Inc
submitted to the House the arrangement hr proposed
to make, and had adjourned the American business
from Thursday to Tt esday, from an idea that
it
might b 4 inconvenient to take the debates on these
•questions on two succeeding days. He contetated
i there never had been an instance of a message of ttii:
nature being brought down to Par'ilantent, which was
not taken into consideration the first subsequent day
The question respecting the Treaty of Paris he lin
no difficulty in answering. These were co seem

was glad to find there were no secret articles to the
Treaty of Paris. With respect to the Papers telativ(
co the negociations at Chatillon, the Noble Lott
might be satisfied a very short abitraia of then
would be sufficient, as the terms which were then
offered to Bonaparte were all which it was irupor•

early a day being fixed upon for taking the Meitige
into cousideration. Had it been brought down os
Wednesday, the House would have had one day fat
consideration. Should the debate occupy -so much
time as had usually been the case on such an ma-
sion, it was probable they would not be able to finish
it in one night: in which case he apprehended it
would be adjourned till Monday.
Loi d CASTLEREAGH intimated that it might
be in his power, in the course of the debate, to give
sufficient information respecting the negotiations at
Chatillon, for the purpose which the Honourable
Gentleman had in view. Adverting to the court:
which had been pursued by Gentlemen opposite it:
the course of the Session, he took occasion to observe
that Gentlemen who had questions to ask would dc
well to make their intentions known, and ought is
courtesy to wait till those were present whom they
expectcd to answer them.

catty an hour. He had not expected it till half-past
tour ; but at .e quarter after it was communicated tc
the House, long before the time had arrived where
the Noble Lord usually took his serf. He wouia
now, with the permission of the House, offer a very
few words on the subject of the Message. He under
stood it to consist of two parts. Is the first par'

France, he was preparing to augment his Majesty's
forces by sea and land. In the second, that he wa
about to act in concert with his Allies for the genera
security ot Europe. He thought in both these
spects the advice which his Royal Highness had
ceived was perfectly right and proper. It was
wise to prepare to augment our military and rue
force, and judicious to lose no time in communicate
with our Allies on a question so important. He t
