STAT! OF DITRNCI OF Till COUNTRY.

The Order, of the Day on the Marquis of Stafford's
Motion relative to the State of the. Defence of the
Country, being moved,
Lord tiAWKESEURV. raid, that very urgent
*miens exited for.4aducing him to requelk of the
Noble Marquis that bis intended motion Mould be
paßpoued. He dirtnot think hirafelf entitled, in the
prefent Rate of affairs, to eater into a more rointate
.er fpecific declaration an the fabjea, but hoped that
the Noble Marquis would be convinced, that no com-
mon or ordinal y motive would have induced him to
:Intake this retina.
The Morph of STAFFORD raid, that impreffed
with a belief of the truth of the Remittent of the Noble
Load, be had no objeßion to any poßponement t,t
his motion which the Houle fhotild think reafonable.

Lord GRENVILLE declared. That no ITIAJII

motion or other laufmefs cooltd exill, at this momen-
too; ctifts, of ft. much impr.tc woe as ihe motion of

Ti,e LORD CHANCELLOR left the Wrsolfack,
atil raid, that he could by no means agree f r a mo-
ment to the proporuion of an adjournment jute made
by N hie Lad wt.n tribe hail. He thought that
'ghat .d been In eatiilidly advanced by hi, Noble
r. ( Lind liiam kccultry) to induce the Noble Mar-
quis and the Houle to poiltione the motion to fon-.e
fututc clay, was fully fufficient to entitle him to that

'Lard HAWILTSVIRT Nit elme le rides to N-
evelt the Noble Marquis to poßpone his motion, be
had, as fairly and candidly as poifible, Rated the im-
portance of thofe realms which indaced bias to do
fo ; and though he could not reveal the nature of
thew, firthei- thaw he had done, b• had fiat further

importance and delicacy, sod could noirL'lse fartker
touched upon at the prefent moment. No other or
further engagement would he then enter into. On
the contrary, if the 141%1tk Marquis lipoid be deter-
mined to bring forward Ms motion, which he ender-
Rood he bad Aetually bisufelf agreed to pollpnne, be
was ready and willing to enter then into the difcuillon,
if it (Amid Rill be perfifted in.
The Earl of CARLISLE Paid, he few no region,
from any thing which bad been propofed by the No-
Me Secretary of Skates that Stook! induce his Noble
relation to poßpooe hit motion, except one, which
was—that in the intermediate time Minifters had de-
termined they would refign, and retire from thole
Stuations which it was the primary intention of the
motion of his Noble relation to evince to the Hours
and the country. ;bey were Co totally inadequate to
i ill. If any fuck sickcowledgment as that were made.
he, for his orbit part, thould have no objeftion to the
pottponement of the motion. If it were not, he thought
it would be very wrong to we* to ik unlefs foam
further pledge was givria by the Nolala Secretary of
Stabs, that an me.sfure. of a agaiiar lallaancl. or any
other that could tied to create any material difference
of opinion among their Lordthtps; fhonld be brought
forward in the titan time.

Lord HAWKESSURY faid, be bad already
gimp all Ll:vetoed.*** which it was in his power to ad-
duce, cemAkewly with his duty ; and as thofe had
been infufgaint to induce the 'Noble Marquis to con-
fent to priftpone his motion to a future day, he
could not conceive on what grounds other Noble
Lords enaddrobloa to what the Marquis had with fo
much libees4y agreed.
Lord GUIWIL.LE faid, the Noble Marquis
had molt unqueftionably a right to the difpoal of
his own motion ; but, as the Noble Secietary of
State had not previoufly given any notice of his in-
tention eR with to have this motion poltponed ; but
faddenly prupPfed it at tht very moment it was
about to be made, he thought the Noble Marquis was
entitled to tetrad an agent into which he had in a
manner been fovprifed, and efpecially as the motion
might be Laid to be in the hands of the Houle. It
was by up tion,n; to pt a' Itop to, or to
creort aut degree of inconvenience to public or pri-
vate bufinefs, but be thought fume pledge fhoold beg
given, or engagement entered into, that in the inter.
mediate alio of thit poltporiemcnt of the motion, no
queitiou of it Spatial tendency, nor any meacure that
was rely to cance any confiderable difference of opi.
pion, ought to be *ought forward.
Lord 11AWIcESBtRY faid, he differed very
widely fleet the Noble Lard who had jolt At
down, as to the prefent motion being in the hands
of the Houle. The motion had not been aSually
made, though notice had been given of it, and at
fuch he was clear it was flill in the hands of the
Noble Marquis, to be difpofed of as he fhould think
proper ; and as the Noble Marquis had already with
the greaten candour agreed to pollpone it, nothing
more was in his mind peccary than tor the Noble
Marquis to fix the day when he would with to bring
it forward.

Lord HARROWBY expreffed himfelf by no
weans unfriendly to the motion being prifiponed,
after what had been fail by the Noble Secretary of
State ; but ftill he thought it was neceliary tome
further engagement fhould be entered into, that no
quelliow of a a fimilar nature lbould be introduced
in the mean 'joie, between that and the day on whoott
it may be fixed to be b:•-ught forward.
The Marquis of ABERCORN laid, he thought
the quefli in had already been very fairly determined.
The K•ble Secretors- of State had come firs‘ard with
an r.rl cc to the that realiins of the highell
importance induced him to come forward, as one of
his Majefly's Islinillers, and requetted the Noble
Nlarquis to poilpone the nry•tion if* which he had
given notice to be !nought hiew•rd r n prefect
evening, to Conic future day,
convenient and agreeable to Mundt.. The Noble
Marquis, with that degree ficandiiiir and hberality
which fo happily charaelerifi all his ae.ions, had
alcnoft inftaatanconfly confuted to the podponemont
of his motion, which h id been fince objeEled to by
the Noble Baron (Lord Gienville), en the other fide
of the Houle, with a degrte of inflexibility to which
he was but ton prone. For Lis own pot t, he was no
way perfonally intetcfled in the farther
than Lasing been induced to ((tine r ut of the coun-
try. M order to attend the ..1 'ad. The frowns
or hilts of the Noble Baron w,..re .ttikc equal tai him,
but he thought the isn't perdel.ce of the Noble ,!.lar•
qu.s %toe fuch. that he might certainly, if he thole it,
poftpone his motion, without the leave or cenfent of
the Noble Baron, w ha appeared co arenuoufly to op-
pofe
Lord MELVILLE ;aid, that he was perfeelly
aware of the ufa•-:e of Parliament as to the vapor'.
ing of any moticii, when the Come was requefled
by His hi.jcity'sti:aitters, either on reafons adduced,
which fhatccd t!...; it would be dangerous or inc,m•
eenient to the palaiie in:veils to bring it farwa d at
that particular moment, or that it was perfina y
inconven,ent to his 2,:ajeiy's or to any
other Nr.ble. Lo:d %silo v.:filed to take a part in the
dikudion, to attet .1 on that par ticuLsr d ts. In either

would be ITIQTC re.ide than ntollett to accede to a
