V %EY 14, 1803. POZITIC.:L E.\'/'S TU 11 . 1:1:1:. On Monday another interesting debate took place in tile. Douse of Lor,ls, ou the motion of the Duke of Noafil f . h: for certain papers illustrative of the expedition to Copen -,zi;;e.n. There were two novel features in the discussion of flat night. Marquis WELLESLLY, for the first time since his return from India, took a share in the debate, and in an elaborate speech defended the conduct of Ministers on the attack on the Danish c apical. As his arguments, however, presented merely the defence which hes been so often repeated, it is unnecessary for us to load the suliject with superfluous commentary. The other extraordinary circumstance in the debate, was. one of much more im portance; the statement of the sentiments of Lord (Iry rut NsoN, 10 - 105 C hill: situation rendered him master ofkilow ledgc so peculiarly interesting for the decision of this mentous question. As the narrative which he delivered of the instructive conferences which he held with the I', tier non of Russia, the one subsequent to the treaty of Tilsit, the other to the arrival of intelligence respecting the bom bardment of Copenhagen, forms the subject of the poli tical disquisition in the first columns of this Paper, we have no occasion here to extend our remarks. The property which accrues to His MAJESTY from cer tain captures made at sea, has come under the discussion of Parliament, as this property has hitherto been exempt from the controul of Parliament; as it appears, that in a }:ro tracted and complicated war like that in which we have ball so long involved, this property may rise to a very great amount ; and as it is a N ital principle of the Constitution, that no considerable sums should remain at the disposal of t he ecutive Power, exempt from the conironl of Parliament, all parties seem to have joined in approving of the inquiry into the amount and application of this moixv, ti;ou;:,h some diabrence existed as to the mode in which it should take place. Accounts have beenreceived of the capture of the Danish West-India Islands. This, however, is not a subject of peculiar triumph. They offered no resistance ; and though they may be of some weight in the scale of compensation in the event of a negotiation for peace; they arc, in the mean time, of injury to us rather than advantage. The presNA disastrous circumstances in which our own West- India Islands arc placed, arises from the great accessions to our West-indift cultivation, which have, during late years, been made in consequence of the possession of the ceded Islands. More produce has by this means been raised than could well be disposed of; and the price, by consequences THE NATIONAL REGISTER.
