Upon a point invoking the honour of their country , Mr . Clu ^ mbers hoped he would not appeal to the Commons of England in vain .

      Mfi . DiiUBtMONa > , in seconding the motion , would not argue the question on legal grounds . Every legal point had been fully established . The Baron bad had to contend with every obstruction and every quibble which legal ingenuity could devise . Mr . Drunwinoud . would appeal from lawyers and law , from Chancellors of tbe Exchequer and from Attorney-Generitls , to VioneBt men , to Engliah gentlemen , and to common honesty .

      Tho Attornisy-Oehbh ^ l doclurcd cin ]> luitically that if he believed the clitims of the Baron do Bode wero just ajud woll-founded he would notstaiul up and disgrace hiindclf by adopting the unworthy course assumed so recklessly by Mr . Oruuumond . He had

      e . xej $ - djapoaition to s ^ ou > ajthise case the Baxp % but he was fuil ^ satisfied that the ease ; did j tyft pome Wfithiix the tre » tg . The question , was . not whether tbe Baron de Bode was * British stAgeet , l&e aveftion was whether he was ao within the meaning of the treaty , Tbe Attorney-General belj « T&d he was . t » t a British subject in tliab sense ; and proceeded to maintain his . idears by reference t » the terms of the treaty , and to the special claims of the JBaron- The properhr was not con . fiscAted becauseilie Baron was a -British subject , but because tieira * * I ¥ eneh subject and % ad emigrated .

      We . H&mn&k supported the resolution , but Sir FHSDBKfe * Thbstobk , toh&wing the Attorney-General , declared his belief that the Baron de Bode had no claim whatever .

      We ChanceHgr of the Exchequer malntaiaed that the contention ef 1814 was . incorporated ia the convention of IS 15 . TheBwron is > .

The appeal now madte . was foandeB upon ecpuly and iionsiaera-( ion * on the ground th-afc the forfeiture was undue but of that there was no proof . He would adraJfc I that the Baron was an English subject , but he vraa also a Frencli subject , and amenable to French lavr .

      ' Mr . Mxnwz would just ask this—What ha » become of the money ? fie had : gone orer the case * of the Baron d $ Bode with the Bajcon himself * anA bis con-^ ietion watihat ^ hU claim was a . good one , and that the honour of the country was involved in making lit good ., Afar , Wilsok begged t » say . th « . t the naooey . ceeetved from France had , been exhauated in accoakplishing the purposes for which it was received . If | the House sanctioned the claim , the money must be i raised by taxation . I Mr ^ 'Spoosrss confessed' that his opinion had been changed , by the discussion , and that he vas no longer of opinion that the claim of tbe Baron de Bode carae vithin the treaties . Mr . Dunlop made the same avowal ; bat Mr . Majlins could not arrive at tUe conclusion that there was , no foundation for fclie claim .

      On a division , the imtabera were—for tbe resolution , 67 * , agpiiast it , 82 ; majority against , 15 . Enodmbbbku Estates ( West Lndles ) Bill . — On moving tta oecxmd reading of this bill fin Thursday , the DqW of NjtwcASWLK stated that it was inteeded to relieve tli « epabanraa « ed slate of property in the Wesi Indies , upon principle * which had prove ^ so succssstul in Ixeland und er a aicnikur act . Its main objects were to wind up estates , as under a bankruptcy , . to effect judicial sale 3 , u » A to distribute ttie > proceeds among the parties entitled in the cheapest fewnj , aad to confer an abtiolute title upon purchasers . A comnaission would Ue Appointed to carry . tUe bill into execution , consisting of oiiq cuief commissioner , who would , under all

      ( circumstances , be resident in England , and two assitttnot commissioner , "who would either act with the chief comnusisutner in EngUnd , where they would , form , a court , or under lfcira in tbe colonies * either solely or in conjunction with local commissioners , to be appointed in cases where such assistance was accessary . An ordLer iu Gouocil would be neeesanry before tho lul could be put into operation in any colony ; t > at 9 uch order in Couacil could not be passed unlesa upon nji address from the local legislature , and pro-vision made for t 3 io expooaee of locally carrying it iato effect .
