Copy of a Letter from the late Captain Taylor, of his Majesty's
ship Apollo, addressed to Rear.Adrniral Fremantle, and trans-
mitted by Rear-Admiral Sir John Gore to JohnWilsenCroker,
Esq.
His Majesty's ship Apollo, Channel of Corfu,
February 16, 1814.
• Sm—lt blowing very hard from the northward on
the 6th, I topic Ate opportunity of running to,Zante,
to propose ti eamies for ccuntnencing hostilities
against Corfu, attd of a preliminary, -to take the
Hand of Paxn.
His Excellency Lieutenant-General' Campbell
readily came into my views, and gave me a carte
blanche for atl-tht troops that could be spared from
St. Maura, 3. few of "the 2d Greek Light Infan-
try from CePhalonita,. and placed these forces under
Lientenant-Colonel Church, of the Lifter corps.
On the 13th we landed under the lee of the island,
in a hard southerly gale, and rain, with the aboire
Greeks, a party of seamen and marines of the Aran,
a detachment of the 35th regiment, and of the Royal.
Corsican Rangers, making- the whole one hundred
and sixty men.
The movements of the troops, under Lieutenant-
Colonel Church, through the length of this regged
island, were so rapid. that we gave the enemy barely
time to prepare for resistance, and in consequence
of their confusion, succeeded without firing even one
musket.
• The force of the enemy were one hundred and
twenty-two men (without the militia), and an in-
closed fort of three guns, well calculated for a de.
fence against a surprise, being upon an elevated
island, which forms the harbour.

HOUSE OF LORDS, APRII. 19.

The West India Trade Bill. the West India Shipping Bill,and
the Legal Quays Bill, received the Royal Assenr by Commission;
the LORD.CHANCELLOR, the Duke Of MONTROSE, and Lord
WOLSINGBAkt, sitting as Commissioner..
Lord ELLENBOROUGH presented a Petition from the
Debtor's confied in Newgate, praying relief.—lt was laid upon
the table. • • .
Lord NAPIER presented a Petition from Lady Ann Hamilton
Fullirton and Lady Georgina Mackie, respecting an Appeal
which had been before the House. The consideration of it was
postponed till Thursday at the suggestion of Lord LAUDER-
DALE, that the irreguidtity might be ascertained, the prayer
being the re-hearing of a cause upon which the House had already
pronounced a final judgment.
Papers from the Court of Chancery in Ireland were presented
at the Bar, as well as an account of the number of Hired Armed
Vessels at present in the service of Great Britain.

THE LATE NEGOCIATIONS, &C.
The Earl* of LIVERPOOL begged to call the
.attention of their Lordships to what passed relative to
the late Negotiations previous to the recess. He had
then informed the House, that it was the intention of
Government to lay upon the table certain papers
upon this important subject. Events had since
oc-
curred, which rendered such a proceeding, at present
at least, unnecessary, as fresh negociations had been
commenced, sllbich, it was hoped, would be speedily
brought to a favourable termination. In this situa-
tion of affairs, his Majesty's Ministers conceived that
the production of the documents already referred to'
could be of no public advantage, and considerable in-,
' convenience might possibly arise from it. This ex.'
planation was all he thought it necessary now to give
upon the subject.
Earl GREY was glad to understand distinctly frinti
the Ndole Earl, that negociations were now on foOt,
which were likely to have a result that would promote
the general happiness and welfare of the country. He
wished, however, perfectly to understand, whether the
papers relative to the discussions at Chatillon would
be produced on some future occasion, or whether Mi-
nisters considered them, in the new state of affairs,'
completely out of view, and consequently that it
would not be necessary to lay them before Varliament ?
He hoped to receive a distinct answer upon this pojat
before he addressed the Hoostilurther.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL thought tlpt IA had
already given a' Sufficient explanation Ay the (him.'
merits were not laid upon the table. HEM nt*wish
that :my thing that fell from him should at.all pre.
judge the question, how far-it might or might not be
proper to produce them on a future occasion—that
must depend upon circurnstacccs. It was not difficult
to imagine, that events might take place which would
render, it improper and unwise that the papers regard-
ing the Negotiation at Chati.llon should he submitted
to the public. At present, however, he did not mean
to pt ejudge the question.
Earl GREY expressed some surprise at the appa-
rent uncertainty of the Noble Lord as to the line of ,
conduct he 'would pursue with regard to the docu-
menu he had him elf pivoted to lay befUte Parlia-
ment. •He felt every disposition to place as much con-
fidence in Ministers as the present circumstances of the
country might demand, but be could not comprehend
upon what prineiple, or upon what ground, the papers
in question were now withheld: The Noble Earl, be-
fore the recess, had stated, that he only waited until
the arrival of the official Declaration of the Allied
Powers, and that as soon as it arrived Ministers would
feel it their duty to afford every information in sup-
port of the tuts stated in that Declaration, to con-
vince the world of what Earl Grey trusted there was
no doubt—the moderatiOn of his Majesty's Govern-
ment, and of the Allies, in the course of the important
discussions at Chatillon. That Declaration had now
been printed, and it set forth (not, perhaps, so dis-
tinctly and explicitly as could be wished) the grounds
upon which the negociations had at length been ter-
minated. The documenti that were to have been
supplied, contained merely the evidence to support
and confirm the assertions in that instrument,'
affording any thing new that might become the sub-
ject of vague discussion. Under these circumstances
his Lordship could not imagine any reasonable ob-
jection that could be urged to the performance of the
promise made before the adjournment of the House,
since he felt convinced, that on an examination of
them it would turn out that the negociations had
been broken of by the ambitioa of Bonaparte, and
the injustice of his demands, and not by any want of
moderation on the part of the Allies. He did not wish
to go into a debate of this subject at present, and he
was willing to give to Ministers all the confidence that
they had a right to require. He felt the utmost satis-
faction in those events which had occurred since the
rupture of the negociations at Chatillon, being con-
vinced, that the termination of hostilities in the mode
now to be expected was, upon the whole, the best
that could have been attained for the preservation of
the general liberties of mankind, and for the peace,
security, and happiness of Great Britain. It was the
best, with only. one exception ; for he could have
wished, that what had recently been done in Paris, in
the presettol4 foreign force, had been accost].
Olished by the painfluenced exertions of gte french
people. The result, such as it was, was one front which
we might augur the most beneOcial consequences.—
He was extremely anxious, however, that wry infor-
mation should be supplied that might tend to give
effect to the happy state of things now about to be
established. The production of thesedocumentawould
not only have the important consequence of satisfying

the people under the domiulon of the Allied Sove.l
reigns (though indeed the subjects of some of them
would not require it) but of satisfying the native, of
France that aU that has been done has been done
justly, among whom his Lordship believed there yet
remained many doubts, and some seeds of disunion.—
The papers would convince the world that the Go.
vernment now established in France is founded on
truth, and in justice, and that the . attainment of
peace in the former instance was obstructed by im-
measurable and unprincipled ambition. The advan-
tages resulting from such a disclosure would be mani-
fold : it would inspire almost unbounded confidence
in those, whose moderation, not whose exorbitancy,
had been the cause of the liberation of Europe_from
the yoke of tyranny. The Noble Earl seemed unde-
cided as to the aniduct he should pursue, and under
these circumstances Earl Grey felt it his duty to put
in his claim to call for the documents in question at a
future day, and to make them the foundation of some
Parliamentary proceeding.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL would -only- trouble
the House with a few words upon what had just
fallen from the Noble Earl. Towards the conclusion
he had spoken of the necessity of disclosing the docu-
ments in question, for the sake of c..nvincing the
people of France of the unreasonable pretensions of
the enemy ; his Lordship (Liverpool) believed that
he might venture to assert, that upon this point the
mind of the Noble Earl might be perfectly at ease,
since there was no doubt, whatever differences might
exist, there was not the slightest doubt as to the real'
and just causes of the late happy events. The Noble
Earl had not correctly stated what passed on this sub.
jest previous to the recess ; he (Lord Liverpool) had
then informed the House that certain papers would
be laid upon the table as a foundation for some sub.
sequent Parliamentary proceedings, the institution of
which the Prince Regint might recommend. No rn,in
could now say that such a proceeding svnulil not be
wholly unnecessary ; and the general rule n pa-
pers were laid before the House must be ahind.ined
if they were now produced. His Lordship :Omitted
that this was not the only ground on %%inch the pro-
duction of documents might be called for, and it
would be perfectly competent to the Noble Lail, on
any future day, to move for the papers in question.
or for any others he might deem necessary in the view
he should take of this important question. In the
opinion of Ministers, however, the reason for submit-
ting these papers to the country was now removed.
and certainly at present no benefit could be derived,
and some inconvenience might result from the dis-
closure.

Earl GREY observed, that the only ground on
which he could accede to the proposition of the Noble
Lord, was the declaration that inconvenience would
arise to the public from the exposure. Charged as
Ministers now were with the conduct of transactions
of such unprecedented magnitude,, if they chose upon
their responsibility to declare that puhlis inconveni-
ence would result fiom the production of these decu-
'ments, he (Earl Grey) could de nothing but acqui-
esce. When, however, the possibility of that inconve-
nience should no longer exist, he might perhaps move
for the production of the papers.
The Earl of CAR LISLE, though he allowed him-
self to be comparatively. ignorant upon questions of
this nature, yet he could'easily foresee that many dis-
advantages: might be the consequence 'of producing,
time doetrenvots, Jr:ought sot. to be forgotten, that
-England wae, only mg out of ,fivy. greet parties at
present engaged, and thc)ippecessary publication of
'tbeie papers might create dustiest, and even differences,
at a ban when events had occurred 'which even the
othet day could scarcely have been hoped.' A short
same since when tkankelia which he so heartily On-
corred) were voted to Lord Wellington, he did ex-
pect to have heard from the opposition side of the
House, some acknowledgment at least, 'that in the
share they had borne in recent events, his Majesty's
Ministers had deserved will of their country. ( flear;
hear!) That opportunity .not having been taken, his,
Lordship felt it incumbent upon him (and the more
so because for so many years he hid telt it necessary
to vote in resistance of • the measures of Government)
to give them that applairet they had so well merited
In securing the peace, liberty, and welfare not only
of this country but of all Europe. This tribute of
approbation might have been given by, an individual
who might be able to speak, but who could• not feel
more than his Lordship. Independently ot the great
talents they had displayed, their judgment and policy
well called for the admiration of the House. The
moderation they had &hewn was only second to that
of that great man the Emperor of Russia : his domi.
nions had been ravaged, his subjects ruined, and his
ancient capital destroyed ; yet, when his victorious
arms had carried him to Paris, when his standard
floated upon the walls, what was the revenge he had
taken ? it was indeed a glorious revenge, that might
well excite the envy of mankind—it Was the revenge of
returning good for evil. (Rear, hear.) He bad not even
entered as a conqueror ; he had dictated no terms, but
had allowed the people of France freely to judge for
themselves, to form the basis of a Constitution, which,
if the superstructure correspond with the foundation,
was likely to become one of the fairest fabrics that the
world could boast. ,This C,onaittuiori would not only,
promote the happiness of France...but of all the con-
tiguous countries. The Emperor Alexander seemed
.to have outstripped record,, in moderation, clemency,
and generosity.
Earl GREY trusted that the House would allow
him to make a few remarks upon what had just fallen
from his Noble Friend. In the first place he had urg-
ed that no advantage could be obtained, and he had
imagined a possible risk in the production of these
documents. Although be (Lord Grey) was not dis-
posed now to discuss the question, he might state ge-
nerally, that in a free Government publicity was al-
ways beneficial, and whenever a question arose, in
which the moderation, the justice, or the honour of
the Administration was concerned, an exposure of the
motives on which certain consequences had been at-
tained, must always be of advantage, not only to the
particular country but to the world at large. As to
the possible risk that might be incurred, he would not
indulge in Conjectures; for when Ministers on their
own responsibility, chose to declare that inconveni-
ence would be the result, he was wiling to take it on
trust for the present, until circumstances should ena%
ble him, by the disclosurt of the papers, to ascertain
the trittb of ate assertion!, With regard so the pecu-
liar danger referred to by his Noble- friend, occasion-
ed by our intimate connection apj. concert with other

Governments, be must be aware that the risk was not '
greater now than at the period when the Noble Earl
promised the production of the documents previous to
the adjournment of the House. AU that wasnow re.
quired was that they should now be laid on the table,
at least those that were in conformity with the Declara.
tion of the Allies, in which all the Powers concurred.
If there were any private communications, minutes ct
secret interviews, or conversations, it was in the dii.
eretion of the Noble Lords opposite to withhold them.
With regard to the remainder of my Noble Friend's
speech (said Earl Grey) I know not exactly whether
it was meant to cast an imputation upon those who
usually mewl,' this side of the House. It seemed to
imply an unwillingness en °Ur part—an unwillingness
on the part of me and my friends, to give his Mak..
ty's Ministels a just tribute of approbation, and he
instanced Ate recent case of the vote of thtoks to
Lord Wellington, on which occasion he complaie•
that no expression of admitatim was employed. I
believe that I was the only individual on these benche
who said any thing upon the subject, and if I was
not as forward and zealous as the Noble Earl (Lives
pool) himself ip applauding the achievements and ex-
pressing our gratitude for the services (,1" Lord Vs'el.
lington I can only say thii I failed, wost lamentable,
in the language I selected, to give utterance to de
sincere and ardent feelings of my heart. Further than
chit I think the occasion did not require. j cam):
help thinking that there is something a little enrace-
dinary, if not inconsistent, in the statement of my
Noble Friend, who is unwilling that the document,
should be produced, on which-only we can found sz.
opinion, and yet he calls upon us to follow his exam.
ple in pronouncing an eulegium upon the genetai ter..
duct of the servants of the Crown. lam inclined to
believe, as firmly as he does, that the measures 01
Government, in recent transaction% have been most
meritorious : that is my belief, but how can I capes.,
it as a decided opinion, or rather as the ecnrictirn at
my mind, till I have before me the proofs by which
my opinion is to be formed and my conviction to he
ratified ? (hear, hear,) I might, perhaps, ray that
even believe that their conduct has been most admi-
rable in a point where it seemed probable that it would
be most erroneous, I mean the moderation of their
demands. Ministers have exhibited a moderation,
meritorious because it offered peace on the banks of
the Rhine • meritorious because again, even as late as
the 18th March, it made another liberal, sincere, and
candid proposal to that unfortunate and deluded
man, for the restoration of tranquillity. I rejoice
more than all, because it is my belief that the same
moderation has been a material ingredient and acces-
sary in producing the very state of affairs that is now
the subject, not merely of my applause, but of univer-
sal exultation. Had it not been for this moderation
we should not now have had to rejoice in the dethrone.
ment of Bonaparte, in the destruetioe of his power,
and in the restoration of the legitimate family of
France. Had Ministers been so iU.advised as to listen
to the intemperate Councils that would have had the
cause of the Bourbons proclaimed in the commence-
ment, I am convinced that we should not now have wit.
messed the conclusion of the horrors and calamities of
war. His Lordship proceeded to notice the adoption by
Ministers of the very terms be had formerly used re,
garding peace, and further to.vindicate himself from
the charge of backwardness applause, which-was
only restrained by a .deficienocot information. He
Concurred in all the praise that bad been lavished
upors the Emperbr Alexander, for the noble and glo-
rious revenge he had taken uped the Frqnch capital.
Amid the shouts of victory, he had listened to the
cries of humanity ; and though his own country had
severely bled by the inflictions of invaders,. when his
turn had arrived-for retaliating upon his rummies, in-
stead of dyeing hii sword in the blood of his foes, he
had stretched out his protecting inn to shield the un-
fortunate victims of hostirmes. Such conduct had
raised the Emperor of Russialte 'a height of glory
which none hid hitherto attaineat lino at the bead
of a conquering army, hi issid'elibted no inflame*
over the popular opinion ; -helsad neknowledgesishat
principle for which his ordship had contended at
the commencement of the Trenth *evolution, viz.
the indefeasible and indsputable right of the people
to regulate their own concerns, tothoose their own
Government, and the immorality and injustice of suf-
fering that right to be interfered with by foreigners.
He could not, however, help wishing that the late
events had occurred without the suspicion that at-
tached to interposition of a foreign force. No nian
could feel more strongly than himself, how much was
due to the Emperor Alexander, -aedhe could not help
indulging a wish and a hope that he would trans-
plant sqme scyon of the tree of liberty he had raised
in France, into his own dominions, particularly
among the suffering inhabitants of COurland. Such a
hope would appear, indeed, chimerical and roman-
tic, had it not been encouraged by the promise his re-
cent conduct had siamtnted. Then might " Alex-
ander" be inscribed on that short but brilliant page
of history, in which were registered the few names
of those great and good men who had sacrificed
their own personal views"to the great interests of
their country ; then might in fumy be read the united
appellitions of Alexander. and..,okYashington, to
,which alone it would be Kpioa sad subordinate.--
His Lordship concluded very, eloquent and ani-
mated speech, by expressing his sincere belief that
Ministers deserved all the applause they had received,
but requiring the necessary evidence to prove that it
was merited.
t Earl of CARLISLE denied that he intended
to w any imputation upon his Noble Friends: he
only meant to express astonishment that he bad not
been anticipated. With regard to the rupture of the
negotiations he was sure he did but express the gene-
ral sentiment, when he stated his sincere joy at thes
rupture of the negotiations At Chatillon. The sueki
jest was then dropped.
The Salt Duty Bill passed through a Committee
and was reported without amendment.
