The Earl of• LIVERPOOL observeds • tliet. he
,
had no particular objection to ,the motion; but
that the regular account of the course of ezchitsge
could not be given perfectly, as Government, in
many instances, only procured them frees the ac-
counts in foreign jpurnals.—Agreed to.
Lord GR EN VILLE neat meted for an account

during a similar period.—Agreed to.
Lord GRENVILLE then tnuved for what he

terially connected with the general question 'as to
the flourishing state of our commerce and revenue,
a:id necessary to be produced, in orderto form a

MR. HENRY WELLESkEY's DIVORCE.
The Duke of NORFOLK rose to move the
Amendment of which ho had given previous no.
tice. His Greases wish was, that as the applica.
tiQn to Perlianseat was only to relieve the party
petitioning, and give him the liberty of contract-
iug another marriage, no additional punishment
should be inflicted on the abutting Lady, beyond
wkat she could suffer by the effect of the proceed-
lap in the Courts of Joistiae. Ho concluded by
moritig his Amendment to that effect.
Aria! 1111410 observations from the LORD ClTAN-
mural the Noble Duke agreed tb an alteration
in the form and torts of his Amendment, by
changing it into an oarbletun of those word, of

also observed, that untlerstandiug that the consent
of the Petitioner could out be had to the original
alteration be proposed, as to the increase of Lady
Charlotte Wellesley's allowance, the effect of his
Amendment would be to secure it to her, in case
of her survivorship after the -demise of Mr. H.
Wellesley.—The Amendment was carried.
A conversation then ensued, on the subject of
the clause for preventing the intermarriage. of the
.ofteding parties, which was' introduced in obe-
disuse to the standing order of their Lordships,
patent during the hist Session. •
The Duke of NORFOLK lamented the fre-
quent recurrence of such bills, but wished every
case to stand on its own peculiar grounds. In the
present instance, the married state of Lord Paget
rendered ;Oen a clause tench less necessary.
The • LOltD CHANCELLOR said, that the
adoption of the Standing Order did not mean that
in all cases the principle should be enforced; but
that the question should in all such instaisces come
before their Lordships, whether they would per-
mit the marriage of the offending parties.
Lord GR.EN VILLE was in favour of with.
drawing the clause, though he-Was still a friend.to
the principle of the Order.
The Earl of BUCKINGHAMSHIRE express-
ed similar opinions.
The ARCHBISHOP of CANTERBURY,
while he maintained the justice anti expetliiiney of
forbidding such' marriagesgenerally, as a likely
mode of priventing the recurrence of tie crime of
adultery, by %king away. from the adulterer the,
advantage of his seductive prifatikes of future mar-
iriage, thought. that iii this instance the possible
want of knowledge of the Legislature's intention, i
and the married state of the offending parties,
Might render it unnocessaq to enforce the order.
Earl GREY was in 'favour of Withdraviing the
clause, and made some observations respecting its
general policy. The clause was • then expunged
sees. diss.—Adjourned et a quarter past six.
