NAVAL AWIINISTIIATION.
Viscount NIIA.VIt.LE presented some papers,
which were scale Naval documents, in pursuance of

former votes of thou. I.ords!tips.
A si!ort conversation took place between the Earl
of DARNLEY and the Noble Viscount, respecting the
production of certain documents moved tor smite time
since by the former, in reference to his intended pm-
position relative to the conduct of the naval admini-
stu ation in .the late war. The Noble Earl, though he
di.claimed any wish to press for any documents that
ntier.t he priludicial. yet seemed to complain of the
1. ng cielAy in pi oducing certain of the papers. Ordeved
his !Tuition.
r•c nor t\9EI.VILLE explained this to arise from
th nature of the particulat documents, which
w .:_ced from accounts to be brought fioin an
ialtrery: .asiance, or to be extracted fiom papers
and correTil:idence so voluminous, as to include
nem ly o,c wlirie the Admiralty correspondence for
the last twit or three years.

rnelied being :
Lan iit LIVERPOOL rose to move an Ad,
dress ro the Prince Regent, on the occasion or the
Treaty of Peace coacladed with the United States ot
.America. preiticcel it with a shart but pertinent
speed:, which included a gt nerat sketch nt some of
the yraminent occurrences in the course cf the war ;
its o'aitcts and principles ; those fer which the nego-
ciations were entered upon, and tii.se Wilco go-
v• rnv..l the con:;tict of the Briti,h negz•ciators in the
Cut :e of these itriportaat transactions. The original
object ei the war, lie :•bSeiVed, 0:4 the part ot
United :Ste W.:5 to Force this c-witty to the itban-
dennict:: of principles, which were always considered
as fist a:1(1 even neces,,r) to our naafi!) AI indelant-
Genet!. And one of the lortuaate results of the war
Was, that these poitits were to lie no fataier prose-
c;.:l,d by the Crnvcr:nr-nt of t'.e iL.ited States.—
Anot::ei point toadied upon, vas the
naLium, we were hOuad 11.1 houour
t.ke should la as favour AL; it Wits at the
cernmeeceatent of the war. T.ie prliev which was
pursued With, respect to protred mediation, w.iich
in sub case was little mote titan another viaad for
"arbitration," tvas pointed out by t:.e Noble Lai!;
who alsa sl.ewed, that with ieTeet to those points
wbich lay over for ulterior arrangements, die most
politic and liberal made ot adjustment was adopted.
On the whole. he characterised the Treaty as equally
honourable and advantageous to this country ; and
concluded by mcvin an Address to the Prince Re-
gent, assuring his Royal Highness of the great sails-
factiva felt by the House at the terms and conditions
of the Treaty of Peace concluded between Great Eri-
Lin and the United States of America.
Earl STAN HOPE said, he did not risa to oppose
any thii.g contained ,n the Ad.:fess, but made a few
remai ks upon the much talked of question of the
maritime rights, which it would appear from what
had transpired in the Negociations, that the arrange-
ments were rights which only vested in Belligetents ;
he aPueital to the hypothetical case, now that Ame-
rica wis at war with the Algerines, and England at
peace--an American naval officer, Commodore
Rod.„-,ers, for instaace, may, according to his notion
of the p:inciple laid down, search any English. mer-
chant v,,sy,el tet American seamen, and finding a
few, :eay take them out to the eventual inj ,t y,
to the total loss tit such vessel. Ile woadered
has, all En 4lisp nitachana would like such a practi-
cal il.ustration or maritime rights.—(al laugh).'
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE., though he did
not mean to ~l pose the Address, could nut avoid
making a Jew retitarks upon (ate or two topics con-
nected w the Treaty. He particularly ;44vtried
to the demand of new terms, witil respect to a liew
line of demarkation, &c. in consequence 01 neiv con-
tinental p .citications, and which he cemured as itn-
k.,:itic aria rnjust. 11.5 to the Indian nations, all
that we.s obtai,ed far them were the houndaties
.al-
lowed by the Treaty at Greenville ; and lastly, the I
Nolae Marquis adverted to a proposition which .he
thuieritood had been made by the Amelican Coin-1
miseioners for treating all slave traders as pirates, and
which was resisted by the British Conizr.issioners.
The war lie conceived to have been unnecessarily pro-
tiacted, and the Treaty at length obi:tilled, carried
very tittle on the lace of it of adjustment of those
poin.s which were held- out as the vs iginal cause of
WAS.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL spoke in explanation,
and asw.recl the Noble Marquis and the House, ,that
what had been stated of the proposition as male by
the American Ministers respecting the Slave 'Trade,
was totally unfounded. Until that moment, through
any channel whatever, either public or private, he
never heard a word of. such a proposition. The ar-
tiate, as it stood, was orzinalty proposed by the Bri-
tish Commissioners, and to which the American Mi-
nisaers never proposed any addition.—(Naar, hear.)
:These Noble Lords sp •ke respectively in explana-
tion ; st; ter which the question was put. The ild-
dress was voted rvera..tht and ordered to be presented
to his Royal Highness by. the Lords with white
Staves.
