CEPAION OF PIIROA.

Lord CASTLEREAGH brought up certain papers
~la•ise to the Cession of Pugs. which bad been
moved for on a former evening. The Noble Lord
entered into an esplanation of the several Treaties,
and a vindication of the condo(' of the Blitish Go.
vernment, relative to Parga. Ile concluded by musieg
that these papers be laid on the table.
Sir C. SIONCK, 'bought it unnecessary now to

gainotes—in favou► of nor defending three. If the
Treat' of 1800 was refired, and we, in terms of it,
were obliged to deliver up Peres to the fate to which
the Treaty consign 4 it, the Nohle Lord entirely
overlooked the power which the inhabitants retained
in that Treaty to proside for themselves. If we re.
Aged the Treat) in f f une party, we were
sorely bound to enforce the provisions which it con-
teinsql in favour of oh- other. By a Supplementary

Sir C. MONCK wished to state a few facts for the
information of the noise which he had heard from a
traveller lately returned from the island in question.
It was said by him to be only one mile and • half
leo& very narrow, eery hmen, very rocky. and
destitute of water; capable of supporting may •
population of 40 or 50 persons, while the population
of Pstp, who were to be conveyed to it, amounted
t 3 500
Mr. HUME said be bad been on the rpot, and
could speak to several facts ted with it. Ile
had visited it in passing to Santa Mier,. Ile found
It to be a muse of stones. The vessel in which i.e
sailed touched at It to obtain water, bet they could
not find it.—[//tor I]
Lord CO IrlPTONsaid. that the sem granted was
noly 150,0001 which, according to the estimate of
heir property, out not by any means adequate.—
The of olive trees which helongod to them I
amcsaied to 80,01)0; the valise of an olive tree!
was between 001. and 901.; hat faking the average
value in that part of Turkey to he 50.., and the
nenoer of trees to be eighty thumaan-1, the indemnity
they eight to roceive for olive trees slut., ought to
he about 400,0001. There ought to be tome en-
spiry into this subject ; and if it was fou-il that we
had sanctioned a compensation Politely inadequate,
and thereby given nor coentenence to injustice, he
would willingly agree to vote an additional indem-
nity of 50, or esen 400,0001., however berdened the
coentry wee cite Its own incumbrances. Ile wished
to know if any indemnity was to be granted to this
People for the loss of their public property, and for
serrenderof their houses and chore's's.?
Lord CAS I'LEItEACII said, in answer to she
Noitie Lord's 'notifies who had lam spoken, that
the valuation of the property of the Inhabbanis of
rergA hail been made by Commissioners appointed
bylbotli parties.—The estimate of 500,0001. alluded
to by the *table Lord was ex parte, sod highly exag-
gerated.
Sir JAMES MACINTOSH. Two questions
arose which it was more particularly his coject to
diocese-Ist. whether the Ottoman Porte had any tight
by treaty to the Cession of Parga ; gad 24. whether
we had treated the inhabitants of that place, in ced-
ing their territory to the Teas; In the same manner
and with the moo f as the iehabilants of those
places that were ceded to each other by treaties be.

Mr. B. BA Ell URS contended, that ening we
had agreed to !ha .1 noisy, we must take upon our-
selves the militate defence of Pogo.
Lord JOHN It Ui.iEl.l.—When we accepted the
submission of the Pergeinoies, it was upon condition
that we would nrmect them. We hail held it for
upwards of three vet's, sod it was too late to say to
them, " Vim have beets defended by the Venetians,
you have been defended by the French, you have
' even defended yourselves, but we hate discovered
your position to be inelefeweible, and therefore we
surrender you In the Tusks."

Mr. BENNETT. If the Pargoinotes shoeld net
