Lord Castlereagb repeated, that he gave
bis hon. friend the fullest credit tor the mo-
tives which actuated him. -(iiear.)
Lord A. Hamilton. Has my hon. friend
any objection now 10 state to the house the
| specific nature of his motioa? (Crles oil

sure my hon. friend that have no wish to
press him to any premature disclosure OF his
object, and that do not ask this question to
crafty any idle curiosity. ! ask it because

connected with this subject. 1t is On that
account am anxious to know how my hon.
friend shapes his motion, to guide me whe-
Their mine would best come as an amend

Mr.. Wilberforce-I should on this as on
all other occasions, be most hsppy to crafty
the desire of my noble friend, and can
have no objection in a private conversation
to state to him the outline OF my motion,
upon the condition which one gentleman may
with propriety exact flom another. But
cannot state il at present in public, or throw
it forth so as to be by anticipation subject
to speculate upon. (hesr.! (hearD have
already said that have from circumstances,
been under the necessity Of varying my mo-
ton from what intended last night. There
may, between this time and TO- morrow, be
circumstances still which may vary in some
degree the form Of my motion. and in case
of so much delicacy. my noble friend will
see the necessity of my proceeding vita as
much caution as possible. Hear hear! ,
THAT passed since yesterday has rather con-
hrmed me than otherwise. in not going further
into explanation. (Hear!)
Mr.. Tierney.-I am sure am as anxious
as any person can be to prevent the necess-
ty Of our being carried into this discussion;
but have very great difficulties in agreeing
to the postponement called for by my hon.
friend. With as much anxiety as he can
have to get the house out of the difficulty,
there is also something due 10 its dignity
to consde ration of the situation in which
we have been placed, situation which is
perfectly unprecedented in parliamentary
history. CLEAR! hear A message from
the king was brought down by minister of
tie crown, soliciting our immediate attention
to certain papers, which were by the same
minister laid on the table. To this message
we sent an answer, pledging ourselves to take
his Majesty's message into our immediate
consideration. Since that time we have had
adiourpments 10 see if the unhappy differen-
ces which exist could not be adjusted by pri-
yate negotiation. This negotiation lasted
for nearly fortnight, and after being at
tended with complete failure, the result
was brought down and laid on the table OF
parliament Now an individual member has
taken up the matter, and desires to try IT he
can reconcile the difficulties which the nogo-
tiators failed to remove, and for this purpose
he calls on the house to suspend It's proceed
ings until he sees what he can do. My no.
bic friend near me, (loFd A. Hamilton) now
SAYS be has notice which connects itself in
another way with this question. submit to
the house whe,herlhis is the way we should
indecisively suffer this matter to sleep among
us. Is this manner either respectful to the
crown or digniied TO ourselves (hear, hear)
Be the motives which shall govern honorable
members in tomorrow's proceedings what

now give notice, that if any further post

shall take the sense of the house on the fur
