Mr. PARNELL, alluding to the silence of the
kp:ecli respittim; the affairs of Ireland, censured the
conduct; of Minisliers. fax having omitted so important
a tnpic on such an occasion. It might have been ex-
pected that they would have shewn so much respect
'for th& feelings of the Irish people„at least, as to men-
•ltioit their concerts and interests in the Speech from
'the Commissioners. • ..
0 ' General TAR I.ETON cooldnot omit that oppor- '
'tunny of stating Lis dissent front all that was_con-
-tained fli the Address, and that was stated in the
-Speeches of the Opener and Seconder, in praise or
-.•the conduct of the campaign in Spain and Portugal.
Ile should take the earliest opportunity to enter his
protest against the proceedings in that quarter.
The question was then put upon the Address,
which was agreed to, and a Committee appointed to
prepare the same; Messrs. Milnes, Wellesley, Ryder,
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and others being
'appointed Members of the Committee.
' • STATE OF HIS MAJESTY'S HEALTH IN 1804.
Mr. WHITBREAD gave notice, that be should,
on Monday next, faring under the consideration of the
House a subject which he had recently had occasion
to mention, via. the state of his Majesty's health in
the year 1804. .The way in which he should proceed
would be, either.by moving that a Committee be ap-
pointed to search the Journals of the House of Lords,
and report to that House what they should find therein
relative to the late examination of his Majesty's phy-
sicians before a Committee of die Lords, touching the
state of his Majesty's health in the year 1804 ; or by
proposing a tesolution, praying. the Lords to commu-
nicase so much of such, examination to that House.
.--Now that he was on his legs, he should take
that opportunity of asking the Right Hon. Gentle-
man (the CHANCELLOR 01 -tile EXCHEQUER') whether
it was his intention to propose, in the course of dui
Session, any permanent measure as a provision against:
the recurrence of the calamity with which his Ma-
jesty had been, recently afflicted. For himself he
could say, sad he believed for every gentleman who
heard him, that he was firmly of opinion that such a
permanent provision wat indispensibly necessary.—
Feeling strongly this impression, he was anxious to
know whether it was in the contemplation of the
Right Honourable Gentleman to bring forward'any
such measure ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
replied, that he had no such intention.
Mr. WHITBREAD then gave notice, that he
should take an early opportunity to bring the matter
eider the ' considetation of the House; and felt it
right, 'Miter the present circumstances, to give this
etfrly notice of hit; in tenti. rts.
COL.(?-BATH-FIELDS PRISON. P
Sir FRANCI4S BUnDETT rose merely to ask a
qtreqion upon .: subject which he found stated in the
public prints. He should not take upon him to say,
that his information was correct; but if not, he would
be in the correction of a Right:Honourable Gentle.
man (Mr. Canning), whom he had seen in his place
that night. The subject upon which he wished to be
informed, was, as to the case of ao individual, a fo-
reigner, who, if he was. eonectly informed, had been
confined for now nearly two years in Culdbathfields
prison, in solitary conanement, and debarred of
the use of pen, ink, paper, and books. The cir-
ciunstances of his imprisonment were these :—This
man, a Poiluguese Officer, by name Cabot (as well
as we could collect), had in the year 1809, while
Lord Geo. Stuart was cruizing off Cuxhaven, been in-
vited on board It s Lordship's vessel to dinner, and 1
after dinner was arrested by virtue of a Secretary of
State's warrant, signed George Canning. The man
was sent prisoner to Heligoland, where he was con-
fined in a dungeon for a fortnight, and afterwards
brought to England and committed to Cold-bath-
fields Prison, where he had since been confined under
the circumstances which he had already stated. He
wished therefore to know whether the case of this in-
dividual was such as he had represented it, and what
were the grounds fur the treatment he had received ?
Mr. YORKE, not knowing to whom the question of tie Hon.
Baronet was addressed, yet, as it referred to a transaction is
-which ad center of she profession connected with his department
was concerned, felt it necessary to say, that so far as he was him-
-self cor.c,rned, tie knew nothing of the matter ; he could, how-
ever, as the Hon. Baronet, that inquiry should be made into

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER observed, that
a, the Hun. Baronet ham al'uded personally to a Right Hon. Gen.
demo, and stated himself to be under his correction, it would
have been quite as well if the Hon. Baronet, when that Right
Hon. Gentleman had quitted his place, and deferrs'd his question
till be should be again to his place.

Sir FRANCIS BURDETT 11:4 no wish to press the question
b this instance. Having seen the Right Hon. Gentleman In his
place, he had supposed he might still We in the House. He should
take anotha opportunity of repeatiug his question, and in the
&Lean time hr hoped that the necessary inquiries would be made.
Mr. W, HI I'BREAD rose to make an observation, but, there
being no question b. ore the House, was not suffered to proceed.
The House then adjurned.
