INTERESTING MOTION.

For many years nothing perhaps ought to
be considered of more importance, with re-
gard to the consequences it is likely to draw
after IT, than the motion mentioned i'm the fol-
lowing extract from one of the latest London
papers, and especially as coming from the
quarter it does, and from man of the high
standing which Mr.. Canning occupies in The
British Parliament
.Aew York, Euening Post.
On the Goth of March, Mr.. Canning gave
notice in the House of Commons, that 6 nm
the S0th of April he should move for leave
to hiring IN bill to repeal go much of the act
OF the 3Oth Charles Ii, as debarred Catholic
peers from sitting in the House of Lords. Tn
giving this notice he begged to repeat, that if
was not his intention in any degree TO preiu-
dice or interfere with the great question as
whole; to that he would lend his nsost
cheerful support but as it was not vet de.
cIded whether that would be introduced this
session, he thought it right to give this spe-
clfic notice 1t was fit, also, and due to the
noble persons whose interests were concerned
both in this and the general question, to de-
clare in public and solemn manner. and nm
on his honour, that he had held no comm.
DicatioD, direct or indirect, with them upon III @
subject ofthe present notice, or the object he
had in view."

W0ShiuptO, CIV. .1f0y lSt. 100.


SIR: Il yesterday examined the Washing.
ton Gazette, which you put into my hands
at was the first time | saw the paragraph
which contains what is called my remark.
upon the bill from the Senate to repeal th.
l4th section of the act, passed the end OF
March, 1921, for reducing and fixing the mill
fary peace establishment :; and which section
thus proposed to be repealed, adopts the sys-
TEN OIL Rules and Regulations fer the govern
ment OF the Army, as compiled by gen. Scott
DID not make the remarks there attributed
10 me. What did say, was this =
THAT had the original manuscript be-
fore me, III the hand writing, / presumed, oil
gen. Scott, at all events my friend from Vir-
ginia, Mr.. Stevenson could examine it. and
would know whether it was or not-i.lat it did
not contain the interpolation-bu that the
books ofRegulations, printed by order of the
War Department, did.contain thednierpolatior
IN the 18th article. That the gentleman from
Virginia did not do me Justice, I'm saying had
made charges made no charge either against
gen. Scott or the War DepartmeBt-bu that
the fact did not exist-that had a high opin-
ION of general SCOTS character, and that
would make no charge in The House against
any person, which could not make out of The
1iouse-that knew my privilege, hut would
not shield myself by it-all insisted upon
was, that the forgery did exist, and let others
account for it &c."
The above is the substance of what ] did
say--and justice to myself as well AS others
prompts me to make this communication "a
you. Very respectfully, JOHN FLOYD.
