bit. J MACKINTOSH presented a Petition from persons sof
N e tap frun the colification of their property in Denmark In 1507.
It s:sted, that iu consequence of our attack 011 that country,and
of our bombardment of a friend's cooks'', the Danish Govern-.
tit had cniifi+cated the properi yof &deb mereliants,'Which at
shat tttt e amounted to It had been since rei:uccd to
65100,000, and the sufferers had hoped relief front the British
, thmeventent, as, in cuti;tquenee of the war, a great number Of
.Danish •vessels had been se zed, and had produe,:il a suns of
et:A 0(4(40 in Dro•ts of the Admiralty. Their claims, amounting
, only to reloo,txx), would not have drawn more titan S per cent.
from those Darns, which had always been considered as a fund
kept for the relief of those who suffered from the effec:s of a sud-
den war. A lung negneistion bad been opened with the trea-
sury on that subject front 1803 to 1814, but had led to no result
satistutory to the parties interested. Yet a compensation of
sC5OO.OliO had been given to the persons who bad suffered from
the oar w th Spain, and therefore the arguments employed by
thed reasury, that to comply with the wishes, of the, claimants
would be so acknowledge the right of Denmark to confiscate
British property, and create an improper precedent, were totally
unfounded, for a precedent already existed. He concluded by
sztoying, that the Petition be brought Ilf.
• Lord .LASCELLBS stated, that for several years it had been
his duty to represent thus casein memorials to Uovernment, and
be bad done 44 because be thought justice was in favour of
the Claimants. He opposed the general princple of sueh applica-
tions) but he supported this on account of the peculiar case of
the Petitioners, who had had no possibility of saving their pro-
perty. Ilse Petition was then react, and orditred to be printed.
Greeral GASCOiGNE presented a Petition from 'create lan-
. sees in Liverpool, compleiumg of the hardships which they had
differed front the imposition of the late laz on the stuck in

dered to be'printeti.

if IN *ISOM
Mr. TIERNEY said, that as the Report on the
. Budget would probably be brought up at slate hour,
• it it were brought up at all this night, he would give
notice that on Thursday next, he should move some
Resolutions for the purpose of exciting a discussion
on the subject of Finances. He then enquired, in
consequence of the returns which had been made to
a mutton of his-respecting outstanding Exchequer
bills, and distinguishing those that were provided
or unprovidedafor, what was meant by the state-
ment that 1,700,01i0 of those Bills had been pro-
vided for on the Aids of 1816. Wilat ere those
Aids There was also another sum of £3,942,000,
in outstanding Exchquer Bills charged on the Sup-
plies of the present year.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
replied, that the sum of X 11,700,000, said to be
provided for on the Aids of 1816, bad been voted
in supplies in the early part of this year, and was'
therefore provided for by a vote of Parliament,
though nct yet in a substantial manner. As to
the 5fr3,942,1101) they would come on the general
Ways and Means of the present year, with any anti-
cipation of the next.
Mr. TIERNEY soh!, that all be now understood
of the matter was, that an Exchequer Bill was called
provided for when it was provided for by a new Ex-
chequer BilL In fact, with the exception of £570,000
t.• 'tie repaid by the Malt Tax, there still was a total
rat A5•2,b97,000 in Exchequer Bills unprovided for,
• and to be made good.
Here the conversation dropped.,
SUSPENnIrIN OP TIM ilAßiki CARPUS.
• Lord CASTLEREAGH moved that the Habeas
• Corpus Suspension Bill be read a second time.
Mr. F. DOUGLAS contended that the measure
was 9ot calculated, to produce the effects for which
his Majesty's Ministers professed to introduce it.—
existence of a general conspiracy had been dis-
proved by-the feeling of thii country, by the verdict
of a Jory at Norwich, and by the verdict of another
Jury in Westminster Hall. He ridiculed the march
of ten thousand conspirators from Manchester, of
whom not• fifty remained collected together when
they reached their first resting glace. The evil was
partial, let then the remedy be partial too. He
would prefer the adoption of Marital law in the dig.
tiabed districts, to the Suspension of so important a
right as the ktabeas Corpus.- The idea that the io-
ta of ineurrection had been excited by the informers
•
of Government; took away half the strength of the
. itepOrt• of the Secret Committee— (New, haw). It
