would not gratuitously take upon himseIfthnt
odious responsibility To which his noble pre-
decessor had never dared to render himself
liahle.--( flear.)
| Mr.. Cunning said, that he hat, already sta
ted, that by the existing treaties, a revolution
pr0ducedin France in favor OF the late pernr
Napoleon or any Of his family was a casms
Jederis. which called upon the Allied Powers
TO take up arms to put il down. In case of
any other revolution excited either by means
or in favor ofany other individuals, there was
no other stipulation than this that the Allied
Powers should assemble to CONCERT and con.
suit what measures they ought To take. Ii
was impossible either for him or any other
member to state what might be the result Of
such deliberations. (Hear.)
The subject then dropped.
Wednesday, March &c.
| Mr.. Secretary Canning rose to name the
precise day on which he would lay before the
House the course of policy which his Majes-
Tvs Government had been pursuing with re-
spect to foreign powers. The first open day
after the recess would be, he believed the I4ih
of April and by that day he should probably
have received the Kings commands to lay
The necessary documents upon the table Of the
House. Being upon his legs, the Riga, Hon
Durable Gentleman continued, he would lust
beg TO confirm an answer which he had given
OH The sudden To a question the last evening.
Upon an accurate examination of all the trea
Ties by which the Euglish Go, ernment was
bound, he found that his answer of the pre-
cedins evening, al hougf given on the instant,
had been perfectly correct--rnere was no oh
legation existing between thi. conpiry and
FRANCE, or with respect To France other than
was To be found in the treaties laid upon the
table of Parliament ut the conclusion of the
war,-treates which, or course were open 10
the general inspection ofhonnurahIr memhers.
The obligations which did exist were cVntain-
I'd IN two siipulations -the one rather Of /,
negative than of positive character, to wit.
{" That the Allies should resist the occupation
of the Throne of France by any part Of the
Bnonaparte famiiy;" and the other, that in
case ofany revolutionary movements taking
place IN France, the Allies should consult and
) concert with each othrr''-what was tn be
the result of such consultation not being in an v
way stated.
i Sir Robert Wilson begged to know wheih-
or the first stipulation mentioned went dis
tlnciiy to The exclusion Of The whole ,f Duo.
naparte's family. He himself had only been
able: 10 iind a stipulation against the occupa-
ton of Napoleon Bunnapartr
MI Secr tary Canning said, that the agree
nent, as he had stated it, would he found in
the treaty of Paris Of the year 1915
MIR. Ware believed that he perfectly under
stood the statement of the Right Hun. Grn
ilrman (Alr. Canniag); If sn. it referred pc
cnllarly to the Treaty of Paris of the year
1915. Would The Right Hon GcntIu4nan
then allow him to ask lin order that he Nigh,
ldiS'iicily see the siiu lion of the country !
whether any thing had taken place at AK Il,
Cnaprlle IN The year 1913 To alter the posi-
I'm or rylaIiGns which had been established
IN 1873: He knew. generally, the nature of
the tia.s 'ctions in 1919, the prot oco the de-
cl'ra'ion, anda,owal nfthe sentinirnis Of the
English government, and Of the Niles bnt
ne wished 10 ask it any thing had taken
place at AK Ia ChapeIle, in The way ofagrre-
ment or stimulation on The part of this coun-
try' beyond continuation Of the treaties of
1875?
Mr. Secretary Canning replied, distinctly,
that the country stood upon the treaties alli-
ded to, of the year 1915. lIe had merely
troubled the house upon the subject, because,
having on the preceding evening answered
from memory upon very complicated Gurs
ton. be thought ii right to shy, that upon ex,
aminsiion he found that he had answered
correctly.
Thursday, .NaErh 27.
Sir H. Wilson, in presenting petition

Occasion to address the House in very ami

and one which inv"ivcd so many impor-

temper in which Catholic Missionaries every

with the feelings generally manifested by tl,c

Adjourned to the 10th Of April.
