The Bill was read a third time and passed. Mn. WiIITBUERO rose, to move for certain papers, inti mately comtected with the discussion of w hit b be had given nice for Monday week, and observed that Ministers, after their meinorable transactions of last summer, liatl given various extracts from dispatches of some importance upon the various enterprizes they had set on foot. It, however, consisted with his knowledge that they were in possession of ioforination of a nature peculiarly important and deeply interesting, he meant upon the intended mediation of Austria bet is een this country anti France. Ile also intended to move for a copy ola eons ersatioa that took place between the Emperor of Russia and Lord Ilutchinsoo, on the subject of that Sovereign mediating for Great Britain. The Secretary of Stale had roundly asserted, that no such conversation ought to he ;given; he bad also said that, were it produced, it would afford an instance of a viola thin of faith such as never had been heard of before. The Iti;.:ht lion. Secretary set himself up as the champion of all the So vereigns in Europe. The French Nlinisler-, by the influence and authority of their Master, waited upom Monarchs in their w hile our Ministers were is tilting in the anti-chambers, and saw the French Ministers pass. They naturally did not relish this indignity ; and at Petershurgh they wished to be put on the same foisting. After alluding to Budberg's note to Lord G. L. Gower. laying blame on this country for not according a military assistance, he concluded by moving for a variety of do cuments, the first of which was an Address to his Majesty for copies or extracts of any dispatches received by the Secretary of State from the British Envoy at Vienna, in regard to the mediation of Austria between Great Britain and France. Loan G. 1.. Goren,: stated, that he had* received the Note alluded to from General Budherg; the contents, he understood, were kiloton to his Imperial Majesty, and he knew that his Ma jesty's Ministers at home were in possession of ample means to state, in reply to that Note. MR. C4NNINO said, that from what had been stated by the Noble Lord, he trusted the lion. Gentleman would be convinced of the imprapriety of such motions, and he hoped that the con versations of foreign Sovereigns with uunceredited agents would no longer be attempted to) be called for. The Hon. Gentleman was under a mistake in supposing Lord Hutchinson to have been an accredited agent. llis Lordship was Mt sueh person ; he had visited Petersburgh merely from motives of curiosity. It would now appear, that COMMlthications from foreign Sovereigns were not to be made to Ministers, fit or worthy to be intrusted with theta, but they were to be made to travellers. It was now stated, that a communication in a private letter was a thing proper to be laid before the House. lie should be much sur prised to see the private letter he had received from the Noble Lord entered on the Journals, and classed among the archives and records of the House. Some of the papers moved for could not be presented for a very simple reason. M. Alopeus stated to the late Ministers several places where it was important a diversion by British troops might be made, in order to distract the enemys attention.
