Mr. C. WYNNE rose, pursuant to noticiS,,vvfth4,
oat; be said, intendintto trouble the Hosts witti:
any length of obsetYatioii on the subject; Ha, dill::,
not mean to require any information either' as to
what was doing, or intended te be done; ia.the'pend-
ing Negociatlon, bet:solely-to enquire as our si.
tuation and relation with' regard to Norway. The
reply to a question which he had yesterday put,
namely, whether we were now at peace or war with
Norway ? His Right Honourable Friend (the
Chancellor of thalExcbequer) had thought proper to
state merely that the Government of the country did
not recognise Norway as an independent natio%) but'
as an integral part 'of the kingdom of Denmark.—
This reply, however, he could not deem satisfac-
tory.—For, referring to the case of France, al-
though after the deposition of the Monarchf, In
1795, the British Government did not acknowledge'
the Republic that followed, yet we were at peace
with the French. Now he wished to know whether
we were in a similar relation with the Norwegians ?'
By the stipulations of last year it appearpel that. our
Government had agreed to concur in endeavouring
to obtain the cession of Norway to Sweden, and
the question now was, whether an order had been
issued by Ministers, as it was understood, to inter—
rupt any communication with Norway in order to
force the Norwegians to assent to that cession ?
such an order had not been issued, the', it ivould ap.•
pear that the question was still opeu Tor discussion.
But if it were otherwise, that his Right Honourable
Friend should itiU dentine to give any answer upon •
that subject, he should feel it his duty to move for
the production of copies of any orders issued to
prevent communications with Norway. .\t e e
same time. he observed that it was in the power
his Right lion. Friend to prevent any motion at pre-
sent by one word, either yes or no.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
said he was happy that he had it in his power, ac-
