The real tank of the difnaiffal of the late Miniary was a point which had been Cs frequent. ly difctiffed in that Houle that he thould not advert to it at prefent. It was a Cubic& indeed which it would be molt impleacant fur him to recur to. He could nut but lament that an endeavour told ever , have'been made to embitter the latter days of our molt gracious Sovereign', lite. His Majeny,\ir was well known, had declared, Rimini fince his accelEnn to the throne, that there were certain propofitints which he regarded as dire& violations of the Coro nation Oath, and to which he could never be brought to trident ; and yet, by a fingular fatuity and per. , verfron of inteheel, it was precifely upon one of thufe points of filch peculiar delicacy that the late Mini-1 Hers thought proper to pies his Majelly. The con• fequence was, that they 1011, and defer welly he wonld fay, his confi fence, and were difmitfed from his ter vice. The Noble Earl who (poke fall had taken loch an able view of the general fithjed of the Speech, that he would trefpafs run longer up , n their Lord (hips' time, than to fay he felt the highest latisfaftion in fecnnding the Addrefs. The FAA of FOR rESCUE role for the purports of moving an amendment. He lamented the need . - firy under which he found himfelt, of oppofing what was too generally contictered as an aft of courtefy towards the S.svereign ; hut when he refiracd upon the means by which the prefent Administration came into power, it was impcsGible fur him to concur in ap proving their meafines. He would appeal to every man concerned with the proceedings of Parliament, whether there was ever a period in which In much public blifinels was before it ; and yet it was at Inch a time, when fir much of the interest and property of the country soli at flake, that Miniliers thought fit to advite hi, Mikity to dilTolve the Parliament.— He would appeal to the great Conflitutional Lawyer on the Woolfack, whether this was not Petting at nought the ufitges and regulations of Parliament ? He could not avoid bringing back to their Lordfh:pa' recolleetion the folenin mockery by which the Judges of Scotland were brought forward ; of the determi nation that was taken to have questions peopled to them, at the very time it was refolved the Bar of the H..tife mould be doled against them. The difro• !titian of the late Parliament he could not but confi der as a ftrong and arbitrary oreafure ; and, viewing it in that light, he felt it to be his duty to exprefs hi, dilapprobation of it. With refpeft to the prefent Ministers, they were the very men who had before thrown up the reins of Government in delpair. He knew of no acceffion ti.ey had obtained, except that of tran,ferting a Gentleman who Lad gained confi derable eminence in his own protellion, to a lituation for which he was neither qualified by It tidy or experi ence. He would, however, give them the praife of indutlry ; that they were certainly entitled tn. They had been indefatigable in their exertions to raife up and hunt ont Addreffes. They recruited every where, among the High Church and the Low Church ; in the Meeting bottle, and in the Synagogue. As far as depended upon them, they left nothing untried to revive the Reties of 1780. Of late years, their Lord (bilis had heard much of coalitions, and therefore it was a fubjeCt upon which he would not trouble them at any length. He could not, however, neglee this opportunity of laying, that there were certain points which rendered ii totally impoflible to make anti cm. poonife with the perfons who slow had the Govern ment in their hands. It was the pride of his life that through the greater part of his political caulk, he had been clofely conneCted with hiN Noble Relative, who was lately at the head ut hi. Majesty's councils; but, much as he esteemed his Noble Friend, lie would forfeit all claim to bis sinfideoce and timpott, if he could form an aliocisoi• si with thole who have let up the cry of 44 Nu Putney," and infcribed it upon their banner. It was this principle which palisaded the whole tit' their condud, upon which .they founded their claim to putalie confidence, and which he was ferry to fee find its way into the Speech front the Thome, which determined him to uppisfe the Ad. diets. Ue c mild not bring himfelf to congratulate his Majefty upon a Cubic& which he, and he was perfuaded, a. stall urtimity of the refleeing part of the people, fincerely deplored : a meafine which produced weaknefa when Strength was necetfary.— Feeling it therefore to be his duty to reprobate this principle, he would propofe an amendment to the Addreis, which fhould retain nothing of the original addief, bat the preliminary word.. His Lordship then read the Amendment, which was of great length, and began with condemning the manifell milconduCt of his Majesty's Ministers in Adviling the dillolution of the lase Patliamtn , . The Amendment having Iwo read from the Wool-, lack, the Loan CIIANCk LLtlit was about to put the quellion, when Lord BORINGDON tole. The amendment ap- ' peared to bins to be a fill j :CI, better C ‘lculated for dilcullion no a future day. II was Wis dly irrelevant to the fpeesh, and In nor Cite in principle to it, that there was tio Inability of get tin,; them to combine and batmonize withcachotott. From what he beard of the &tithes, he thought it entitled to the favour• able conlideration of their Lordliips. It was tem perate, it was moderate. It carefully ahltained from All thole topics which could p►ovoke hest lir parry animrifil y. His Lordfhip maintained the right of the Sovereign, whenever the interelts of his people lhould call for filch an esercife of the prerogative, and con tended that the delfolution of the late Parliament was rendered unavoidable by the condo& of the late Mi• 'litters. They had rendered themfelees incapable of coptinuing in office ; it was they who made a pledge necelfary. They were 4ifmilfed.

If the termination of a negociation with an enemy was to be converted into an argument for diflolving Podia. meat, we timid have had no lefs than nine diffolutions in the mole of a few years. The Noble Earl who moved the amendment, had dwelt much upon the cry of " No Popery." which had been unfortunately and ridiculontly fee up in fome parts of the country. 'He folly coincided with him in condemning that I I molt abfurd mod wicked watch word. No men of common fenfe. or commit% principle, would have ventured to ufe it. He could not foppofe Minifters capable of fuch folly and wickednefs. Had they been fa difpofed, they could have been at no loft for inliruments to diffeminate it. Every manufafturing town, every populous diftriet, would have fupplied them with ample means. But fo far from having recourfe to filch bate and unworthy praaices, the,, fa& was, that they did every thing in their power to fupprefs it. He was not fanguine enough to fuppoft that the prefent addrefs, however unexceptionable. would not be oppofed. He knew. for fome days. that an amendment was intended ; that the oppofitioo to it was pre determined. He was aware that it waii the effence of politics to confider what was palling of the greateft importance, and that though their Lord (hips of late years were not much in the habit of op poling addrefres. Rill that was nn reafon why the prefent addrefs fhould not be oppofed. The whole at the lad twenty five years of the p litical hillory of this country . had been marked by as much heat as any preceding periods and yet, within the whole of that time there were only two inftances of oppofition to an addrefs in anfwer to a Speech from the throne. The fird was in iSot, when the oppofition amounted SO feventeen ; the fecund in 1794, or 1795, when they could not molter more than twelve. At the turbulent period of 1784, there was a long debate and a numerous divifinn in the other Houk, but the addrefs was voted without oppofition by their Lord (hips. This example, which it, would much furprife him indeed to fee followed to night, refle&ed no credit on she loyalty ar feeling of their Lcrdfhips.— With refpea to the unfortunate events before Con dantinople, and in Egypt, he had no with to learn to know to whole account thole dilaters were to be attributed. He could not perceive. however, that a Noble Lord, who exulted In much in the firft erro neous account of our fucceffes, and who almost claimed the fole merit of having fuggeited the plan, was fo ready, now that he found matters had not (pile aufwerezt his expeetation, to come forward, and ffer to take his flute of the blame and refponfibility of the failure. His Lordihip deprecated the amend ment, as calculated to give fatisfaition to that Po • tentate. whole aftonifhing fuccefs was owing, in a far treater degree, to the divifions of his enemies, than his own ftsbilantial ltrength and power. There was nothing, he was continced, he would hear with greater pleafure, than a great (chitin in the political sentimerit of the people of this country. Confidering the amendment of the Houk as tending to afford him that pleafnre, he would vote againft it. Lord HOLLAND, after having heard the two lad fpeeches from the other fide of the Houle, could not reconcile it to himfelf to give a (dent rate on the I sreftion. The principles he heard proclaimed were 610 monitrous. they went fit totally to overthrow every recognized principle of the Conliitution. that he ( feared he could not bring himfelf to (peak of them with the temper which befitted the alterably he was addreding. The lall Noble Speaker had mixed a fort of pleafantry with his argument. :le contended, in a very good Immured way, that the Houfe was incompetent to pronounce any opinion on the Speech; that the Adch els was to be an echo of the Speech, or nothing. But was an affembly of MIA Peers to be thus fettered in their opinions ? Were they in the exercife of the high privileges derived to them from their forefathers, to fay nothing which was not per. feelly ag. eeable to the Court and t the Government ? He had paired more years in opposiion, than the Il Noble Lot d, and had turned his mind more to Amend ments, and he thongbt he had voted oftener than twice in oppohtion to Adds des, in the courfe of the lad feventeen years. The racfent Addrefs was In drawn up, that it was imprable any of the late Ad miititlration could concur in it. Why, he would aik, were their Lordthips to be more tenacious in mate& ing their opition, than the other Houle ? The Noble Lord had iofilled a good deal on what he called a pre•deteimined oppolnion to the Addrels. Bat what was the 1 n p t Amendment read lad year in the other Howe. DIJ that favour nothing of meditated op pofi ion.? He was fully fenfible the great talents . or the perfon who propolid it.

The Noble Lord had inlifted a gond deal upon the terepepsyce and 'Ne t moderation of tbe Speech from the bit if • ever there was a Speech calculated to p r dig*. cuffion, it was this. He might have char AI it as a debating Speech, as a Speech affording food for difeuffion, as any thing in thou but a temperate and coneilrating Speech. Was it temperate or conciliat ing to introduce fubjefts pelfealy irrelevant to the general matter of the Speech ? to intrixlacv n marked cenfure of the unfortunate events which had. taken place in Egypt. and before Coultantinople? He mull alla condemn the I:vs:pent introduction of his , Majelly's name in the courle of the debate. Was it dec .roes or parliamentary to fay in that Houle, that the lee Minifters bad endeavoured to embitter the lan years of the life of the King ? He could by no means accede to the Noble Lord's extraordinary to doCtrine repeding Amendments.. The Noble Lori to might as well have laid, (peaking of any meafure, it , is his Majeny's with, and mutt not be criticifed -... Another 14,,b1e Lord had alfo laid, that any differ . • once in opinion between the King and his Miniders, was to be regarded as an anomaly in the Contlittition. What, is it to be confidered as an anomat! in the Conflitution, that a Minitier claims the privilege of being free, and of thinking for Itimfelf ? With regard 1 1 1 to the expeditions to Egypt, or Conttantinople, he would never refufe to take his full there of the re. - fironfibility attaching to thefe matures. Thole with whom he ailed, waked that an enquiry &odd take place. They would not, he would dire the Noble Load, (brink from the difeuffi .n. As to the diffoltt i tion, he canfidered it a ralh, imprudent, and arhi.rat y - 't meafure. and thinking In, was he to be precluded 1' ~ from expreffing an opinion to that effect ? WAS not i i the diffolution alluded to and panegyrifed in the • '1 Speech and the Addrefs ? How could the late Go• 1 vernment do otherwife than tefufe to concur in it ? The Noble Lord, in faEt, Paid nothing in favour of dif 'Motion, but that the lad diffirlution was as god 'is that which preceded it ? What, did it make no difference. whether you deprived a man of his !cafe, when it had five years to run, or only one ? When the Parliament was diffolved laft year. it had fat upwards of four years. The recent Parliament had fcarcely corn- 4 pleted In many months. The Noble Lord had him- felf furninted the Rrongen reafons for the diffolution lad Autumn. The country waineither agitated by • 1 religious dininflions or political feuds. The time, in fact, could nut have been more favourable. But was . • that the cafe of the late diffAution ? They who ad. riled it well know it was not. In a coonitutiotorl point of view, he mutt ever condemn the late difrolu. , tine. He would n. tgo the length of (eying , with li the great Lord Somers, that a difolusion in the midi t of a fell; .n was illegal, but he would contend that it was both unadvifable and imprudent. There was nn privilege appertaining to the Sovereign, which . ought to be More fparingly and cautioully exercifed than that of diffulving Parliament. There was a time when, to de an expreffion of the great Mr. Btoke. the Ministers, whoever they might be, "Rood in awe • 1 of the Commons, " but there times were pall. In thole days, no Secretary of State had the confidence - •.. to rife and threaten Parliament with a dilfolution if Minifters were not fupported. If any thing could di mini& his refpett for the lad Parliament, it was that they did not proceed upon that daring and uncontli• tutional menace in the mallner they Ihould have . done. In anfwer to the arguments againft the late diffolution, it was Paid that the frequency of there appeals mull add greatly to the weight of the popn• lar part of the Cunflitution. He was ready to admit, that if elections were properly conducted, they would have that tendency. For his part, intlead of fepten nial, he could with they were triennial, or even an nual. But when the quenion was, whether by your vote this day, you are to continue to fit for five years or only for as many months, he could never be recon ciled to a dill rlution effected under fuch circumrian ces. Before he fat down, he could art avoid allud ing to the Speech which preceded the late dill . ..lotion —a fpeech abounding with more incontinencies than any ever pronounced in Parliament. It began with Rating, that no inconveniesse could ante from the diffoluti nu, andatrix at v. time when no' Approptia... ' doe Aerfiad been patetl. What contronthad they ' over the public purfe, if a Minilter was this to airtime - the power of difpofing of millions without any fpecific authority for the purpofe ? As that was a tubjeft which would hereafter come under difeenion, he would not now go into the argument in det Ail, and . . confider whether the public money could be legally applied without an Appropriation A. He wortl.l not fay, that under the prefent reign the want of it thould pillify the flopping of the fropplies, though it would have been a goad argument for fuch a drong proceeding in the days of Charles the Second. IF , money was to be expended without the authority of Parliament, what fecurity, he would ark, was there fir the Connitution ? The Noble Lord condemned the cry of et No Papery," but maintained that it had never been encouraged by Minitters. He gave the Noble Lord full credit for believing fn—but had I C never read the addrefs to the electors of Northatup. lion ? Had lie never read that barbarous and bigots ted expreffion in one of the public journals devoted to Milliner,, and obvioutly encouraged by them ?—. The cry was attempted to be fet up, but to the cred e of the county it had not produced the effect( that Was erpcocd. In tome places it unfortunately had.
