On-the 16th of December general Fitz- 
patrick, In-a pathetic fpeech of coufider- 
abie length, defcribed the fuferings and 
amprifonment of Mi. dela Fayerte, in ome 
sof the emperar’s dungeons in Bohemia; 
and aJfo the feverity impofed upon his 
wife, daughters, and companions. In or- 
der t6 procure the releale of this unfor- 
tunate man, the ceneral moved, “ Phat an 
humble addrefs be prefented to his ma- 
qcfty, reprefenting that the detention of M. 
de la Fayette, and his fellow-fuiferers, in 
the prifons of the emperor, is injurious to 
the character of the allies ; and to the in- 
terefts of humanity; and intreating his 
roajefty to take fuch meafures for procur- 
ang their rcleafe, as to his royal wifdom 
may feem fit.” 
This motion brought a long debate, in 
the courfe of which Mr. Piry declared 
that the imprifonment of that unfortu- 
mate gentleman was not influenced, di- 
rectly or indireétly, by the government of 
this country; nor did he fee how we 
could interfere with the domeftic police 
of another power. 
The obfervations made by Mr. 
WYNDHAM, on this occafion, implied 
what Mr. Pirr had apparently en- 
deavoured to conceal, that the imprifon- 
ment of La Fayette was in confequence 
of the part he had taken in the American 
as well as the French revolution ; and 
€ertainly went to overturn, virtually, Mr. 
Pirr’s argument againft»the propriety 
et one nation interfering in the domeftic 
eoncerns of another—Since La Fayette 
twas now puxithed by the emperor for 
Public Affairs. —Great Britaim 
[ Dec. 
what he had done as the fubject of an- 
other ftate. It.is unneceffary almoft te 
add, that the motion was negatived by a 
great majority. 5 
On the 17th of December, the Chan- 
cellor of the Exchequer brought up a 
mefflaze from his majefty, announcing, 
that it would be of the greateft im- 
portance to the caufe of the allies that he 
fhould be enabled to continue fuch tem- 
porary advances for the feryice of the 
emperor as might enadle him to projecute 
his military operations with vigour and 
effect at an early period. | 
This meflage was taken into confide. 
ration by the houfe on the 19th of De- 
cember, when Mr. Prrvr moved the ade 
drefs. This brought forward a long de- 
bate, in which the minifterial fide of the 
houfe went over their old ground of ar- 
guinent in fayour of remitting money te 
the emperor, and enumerating the ad- 
vantages which had already been derived 
from that meafure. , 
Mr. Rex, on. this accafion, withed te 
‘know what:there was in the addrefs thar 
could limit-the iffue of the money to be 
fent tothe emperor, or by what means the 
houfe could know whether the money 
had not been already iffued? His prin- 
pal objeétion was, that the addrefs tended 
to carry qn the farce and the delufion, 
and to propagate an opinion, that the 
houfe had not any thing to do with the 
controul.or the appropriation of the fums 
that were voted. 
The addrefs was carried without a 
divifion. 
The fame day, in a.committee of fup- 
ply, Mr. Pirr moved, that a fum, not 
exceeding 500,ccol. fnould be granted te 
his majefty, to be remitted from time te 
time to his imperial majefty, &c, and the 
motion was agrecd to. : 
Mr. Dunxpas, on the 20th of Decem- 
ber, mowed, ‘* that as long.as the Cape of 
Good Hope fhould be in his majefty's 
poffeffion, his majefty, in.council, thould 
be allowed to make regulations refpeét- 
ing the commerce to and from that 
32s 
place.” It was not -his majetty’s inten- 
tion, ,Fhc faid, to hold that place upon 
ftriét colonial laws, nor thar dhips of other 
naticns fhould be precluded from touch- 
ing there, nor that they fhould be. pre- 
cluded from the fale and barter of the 
produce of their refpeétive :countries. 
The motion having been agreed to, Mr 
Dunpas moved for'leave to bring ina 
bill, to enable his majefty to make regula 
‘tions, for a limited time, for the trade te 
and from the Cape of Good Hope.
