The Cumberland Pacquet - 25 Feb 1812
HOUSE OF COMMONS.

MONDAY, Feb. 17.

Lord COCHRANE said, he held in his hand a Petition from General SARRAZIN,
setting forth the information which that person had communicated to his
Majesty's Ministers on various subjects connected with the probable views of
the enemy against this country, and praying that the House would take into
consideration, and grant him such pecuniary remuneration as they might deem
proper.

The Speker wished to know whether the application had received the assent of
his Majesty's Ministers, as the Noble Lord had stated enough of the petition
to shew, that as it was an application for money, it must receive the assent
of the Crown. The standing orders of the House were peremptory on that
subject.
