Lord SIDNIOUTH role, and expreffed happy to fee a Noble Lord (Ilawke(hury ) in his place, from whom he felt defirnus to obtain an an fwer to a quellion, refpeCting which his uneafinefs every day increafed. The objeCt of that queflion was to learn from the 'Noble Lord, if it was the in tention of his Majeny's Milliners to propofe any new meafure for the defence of the country, or to tollow* up on a more extended fcale the fyflem that had al-' ready been adopted, fo as to make it bear fume pro. portim to the encrealing dangers of the empire. He felt it his duty to take this Rep, in order to relieve, nat only his own anxiety, but the anxiety that every one mull feel at a moment fo alarming as the pre. tent ; Ihould he have the fatisfaftion to receive fuch an arifvver as he expeCled, then he {horrid have to re (plea the Noble Loid to Rate the time %Then it was likely fuch a propofition could be brought forward, adding his with that it might be on an early day— for as the danger increafed every hour, he thought it a matter of the molt urgent importance, that it Ihould be provided againft without delay. Lord HAW KESBURY was happy to be able to affure the Noble Vifcount and the Houfe, that the fubjeCt of the Military State of the Country had oc-• copied the attention of Minillers from their very en trance into °Rice. It might not be proper at the pre terit moment to enter into any explanatit n of the principle, or of the details of the-meafure they Ihould have to propofe, but the day was not dillant when ' Inch an explanation Ihould be amply given, and when reafons timid be adduced for having deferred it till now. Indeed, on this very day it was expec ted that a notice would be given in another place, of the introduction of the meafure to which the No blel Vilromrit had alluded. Lord SUFFOLK intimated the necelEty of doing now much more than had as yet been attempted, to wards the defence and fecurity of the country. He bad obferved, with the greaten fatisfaCtion, that on the part if the coati which he had lately vifited, the fy Rem of the Martello Towers had been conliderably increafed. AMERICAN TRADE INDEMNITY BILL. Lord BATHURST moved the order of the day, for the fecond reading of the Bill to indemnify Mi 'lifters for continuing in force the p.m/if - ions of the American Trade Bill, which had expired doting the reed's. He argued the propriety of the meafure on the ground of policy and precedent. He allowed that the law had been violated by Mininers, but that violation was juftified by the reafons of public ad vantage and benefit which reftilted from it, and which Parliament had almnft uniformly received as a fatisfaClory jollification of fuch a condat. Indeed, were it not a violation of the law, why fhould the Crown furrender its prerogative, and come to Parlia ment for a Bill of Indemnity, when it was obvious no law had been infringed. He could fafely deny that the rate of duties had been railed or diminithed in any mates ial degree, or where it would have been fafe to have acted otherwife. As to the allowing American (hips to carry certain articles contrary to the Navigation AO, that permillion was juttified by the fame policy and neceffity ; fur it would have been much to the detriment of•our trade, if American !hips were on a fudelen prohibited to carry fuch arti• cies, while there were no &it'll) (hips ready to convey them. In every point of view he could not help thinking that Government had acted wifely in con tinuing the provifions of the Bill ; and he Ihould therefore move, that the Bill to indemnify them for lb doing be now read a fecond time. Lord GRENVILLE was far from allowing that the circumtlances under which the late Minitlers, acted, afforded futticient reafon to junify their . con duet in this refpeCt, and he fhatild therefore oppofe any Bill to indemnify them. There were two prin ciples involv.td in this quetlion—by one it was held, that there was no power in the" Crown to break through a law : by the other it was maintained, that the Crown had no power to raife money, without the content of Parliament. Not only hal the Ertl, but the fecond principle aifo had been violated by hlinitlers in this proceeding. They might have advifed the Crown to break the law ; yet they were not therefore autho riled to impcfe new duties not contented to by Parlia ment. The Papers laid this day on the table, proved that the rates of duties had been railed on feveral articles, for example, Bark, Indigo, &c. while no content of Parliament had been obtained, either for railing or reducing them. Nor was this all : they had alto fufpended the Navigation MI, and allowed American valets to carry articles, which that Aft prohibited them from carrying, while the duties were railed on them or reduced, at the pleafuie of the Crown, without the cognizance and content of Par liament. And what was their plea for all thefe in fringements cf the law ?—Convenience. Now fhould any thing (hurt of abfnlute necellity have jullified filch concluft ? but where was that neceflity to be found'—no where. The fa Et was, it tithed the put pofes of MiniQers to diffolve Parliament; a meafure, • which under the than exilling circumtlances, he fhould ever contend was a dangerous, a defperate, an un principled aft—and in the mean time the American inter courfe Bill expired—here was the necellity. Could fuch a plea juftify loch a conduct ?—Yet Minilters were forward to juttify the diffolution on tire grounds that were advanced in joftification of the dilfolution in 1784 ; yet there was no comparifon whatever be tween the grounds of the two meafures. In 1784, there was a manifeft breach between the two Houle& of Parliament—a circumftance the molt critical and perilous that could well be fuppofed poffible to arife, and which afforded the ftrongell ground for an ap peal to the (cafe of the people, could any ground in the lean firnilar to it be alledged for the la e diffola tion ?—No hing. Yet Minifters would let up that neettlity a , a plea for their violating the law, and tben cor"i g to Parliament for a Bill of Indemn ty. As this w, s the g nuad they took to jullify th.m• (elves, he bad a r 1 ht to argue it in its utmoft lxti tucle, and (hew the tuifcitiers with which it was preg nant both at the time -they attempted it, and the greater mifchiefs which were likely to flow from k in the prefent far more perilous Rate of cheempire.r The prefent increafe of our danger Parliament fbonld inquire into, and the people fhould be acquainted with ; nor thould that inquiry lead to defpontlency, but, cn the contrary, route to exertion. •With-. that view he entered upon it ; nor did he think• it foreign to the prefent del - coition, the more after what had been that night obterved by a Noble Vit'count (Sidmouth). What, ;Liked the Noble • Lord, fhould be the flra object of a wife Govern. ment, of a provident Legiflature, in the prefent Rate and condition of the Empire ? Why, to promote union and unanimity among' all elaffes and defcrip tions of his Majefly's flibjetts, For what avail arms in the hands of a divided people! With what hope is a military fyflem to be deviled, unlefs every indi • vidual of every defcription be brought to ad- with one mind—with one arm ! So indifpenfably need . - fary at fuch a moment is this cordial concert and co-operation, that without it every other meafure mutt prove vain and nugatory; until that was done, nothing was done. The prefent (late and condition of Ireland was not only among our principal confidcrations, but fliould immediately form the principal object of the attenton and folici tude of Government. It was here chiefly that the confequences of the diffolution were to he examined and deplored ; and among them was the policy of the pledge given againft the claims of the built Ca tholics ; a pledge than which never was any thing more unwife, imprudent and impolitic. What did it fay ? Why ; that tinder no circumllinces whatever Ihould any further conceffion be ever made to that large portion of the people, whatever might be the (hape in which they might prefer their Petition. Such Ihould not be the condition, and was not the condi tion of any people under any Government, not even a defpotic Government; but furely not of a free Government. But Parliament would, no doubt, paufe and well weigh thefe matters, and the Noble Lords oppofite him would no doubt recoiled, that what had been refufed not only by one Parliament, had been granted by another ; but that even what was withheld during one Seffion, was conceded by the next. - No doubt, prudence, wifdom. and expe rience, would guide the condud of that Houle under the preterit arduous circumilances cf the country, as hitherto they had been guided by thefe lights; and furely never did any fo:mer moment mote ferioufly admonith to confult them. They would alto have to recoiled the opinion of that great flatefnaan. (Mr. Pitt), whofe authority and memory mull be ever dear to him, and who Oki not (brink from alluring his Sovereign (how different that language from what had (tore been heard from a Learned and Noble Lord !) that the great meafure of the union was impracticable, or that all his cleared efforts would be trullrated, without an acquiefcence in the claims of the It MI Catholics. He had troubled their Lord (hips thus much on this fubjeft ; his duty had im pelled him to it, but he was not likely to touch upon it again, Gen knows when. Lord HAWKESBURY was not anxious to de fend the Bill of indemnity on precedents only, but on the grounds of the necellity of the cafe out of which it grew. Nor would he deny that that need fity arofe trom the neceflity of the diffolution of Par liament ; for, as often as that topic fhould again be forced into difcuflion, fo often Ihould he infift on the abfolute neccffity of that meafure. The real authors ci that necellity were the very perfons who have fince fo repeatedly and fo acrimonioufly inveighed againft it ; for when his Majelly, in the legitimate exercife of his prerogative, thought proper to make the late change in his Councils, the Noble Lords oppotile him made an appeal to Parliament, and brought the quef tion to due between themfelves and their Sovereign. What then was left to his Majefly, but to appeal to the fenfe of his people, while the events which made that appeal neceffary were Hill frefh in their recol ledion ? How elfe was his Royal prerogative to be ftyported ? This is the fair, obvious, Pimple ground, tyon which the late diffolution tells, and the refult has amply proved how well his Majelly undedlood the clifpofition of his people, in making that appeal. For never was their fenfe more clearly, diftindly, and uneytivocally exprefTed. No means were left 'in tried by the oppolers of Government, to procure the fuUelt pollible attendance of their adherents in Par liament, at the beginning of the prefent feffion ; yet the fentiments of the nation in favour of the Preroga tive, were pronounced in the fulleß Houle that ever fat in deliberation, by the target and molt decided major ity.—Among their Lordfhips, it met with the fame loyal and triumphant fupport. Here then was the necelfity and the propriety of the diffolution proved at once in the molt marked and forcible man ner. He earneftly wifhed to let the queltion reli here, but it was imp( flible to pals over in filence the latter part of the Noble Baron's fpeech, to which the former part ferved only as a lialking horfe.— The deep regret he felt at fume of the fentiments and expteffions that fell kom the Noble Baron, - he was at a lots how to eiprefs - ; but he was lure they mu* have made nearly the fame impreflion upon molt of their Lordthips. He was ready to believe that the fame feeling and fentiment pervaded every clafs and defcription of the community, and that they all were difpofed to at with one heart and hand •in tepport of the Contlitution, againft the attacks of the molt formidable foe that they had ever to contend with, and now made much more formidable by the influence of recent events. Then what could be the tendency of the Noble Baron's obfervations ? what the effzd they were calculatedto produce? ( //greater., of hear, bear, from the Ofrpoftion fide of the But where was the pradical good that could refult from them ? Was it not well known how different were the opinions entertained refpeding the chief topic upon which the Noble Baron had fn widely,, and, in his mind, Co unnecefTarily expatiated. Neither could he be ignorant how very generally the opinion , of the country had been expreffed upon that fobjedi Where then was the utility of the recommendationl' which the Noble Baron fo anxioully urged Masi, there in pall experiences -was there in any profped,' before us, the flighteft ground for confidering us a; ' divided people ? Even in *nee of the Catholics, and in mere luftice to that refpedable body of men, he would elk the Nub'e Baron, when were their ex- I ertione wanted, if the threat of dau r,er required them to put them forth ? Whatever the difference of opi nion they may beg intertaiped upo.i the other points, were they ever backward, when the appearance of a feleiget s cnemy called f.r the zeal and aftivity their fervices ? Whatever the deprivations 'under which they fuffer, have-they not always confidered them as profperity and luxury when compared with the promifes and the boons by which the enemy would endeavour to lettuce them ? Them-the repre fentations ride by the Noble Baron - are unfair, of • any defeription of men who have uniformly manifeßed filch a fpirit of loyalty and patrintifm.- It was-unfair furely to dcfcribe their conduit and principles in a light that would jußify him in calling them-a divided people. RefpeCting our internal policy, there tr4la perhaps be difference of opinion—with regard to the threats and attempts of a foreign enemy, we fhotild always prove an united people ; thole who poffelfed leall, aryitig with thofe who poffeffed molt. He mull therefore again exprefs his furprife and regret at the obfervatinns of the Noble Baron, the more fo, as they now could be attended with no practical effect, and when his own mind did not appear to be made up refpeeting any practical remedy. The moment called for univerfal unity of action, and under fuch circuraftances as the prefent, he hoped to fee all party fpirit and animofity turn into zeal for the common defence. Earl SPENCER. conceived the quellion to he tvhe ther the neceflity which it was admitted had occaliln • ed the breach of the law, was forced on his Ma jelly's Minifters. or had been forced on by them ? The Noble Lord oppofite had laid that his Majefir hav ing reafon to be diffatisfied with his former let vents, had exercifed his undoubted prerogative in choofing ethers in their Read, and that the old fervants of the Crown had thereupon come to Parliament with a Ratement of their cafe, thereby making an appeal to Parliament on the differences which had occurred be• tween them and their Sovereign, and that his Ma jelly had in thefe circumflances, been advifed to take the fenfe of the people. A mote unfounded nr A more erroneous flatement than this, the Noble tail contended, had never been made, as mull be well known to the Noble Lord ( Hawkelbury) himfelf. The faa - was, that after certain confidential commu nications had taken place between his Majefly and his late fervants, in confequence of which a change in his Majelty's Councils had taken place, the new fcr vants of the Crown betraying the boa repofed in them, had given garbled and unjuft reprefentations in the newfpapers, and otherwife, of the conduit of their pr'edeceffors, and of the circumflances which bad preceded their difmi(fal from office. In this Rate of things a reprefentation of the aftual Rate of mat ters, and of the whole circumßances attendant on I ' them, became neceflary, to clear the charatters of the late Minitters from the obloquy with which they were thus unjuihly Untied. In making this Ratement, they had been accufed of bringing their Sovereign to the Bar of both Hodes of Parliament. Such a I charge, however, they difclaimed. Their only with was a vindication of their own charatler, and to bring forward to the Bar of the Houfes of Parlia ment and of the country thofe perfons who had given evil advice to their Sovereign. As to the po tic), of our conduit towards Ireland, it was not his intention to inquire, as that had been already fo ably difctiffed by his Noble Friend (Lord Grenville). But if that part of the population of thefe kingdoms really did poffefs the loyalty admitted by the No• ble Lord (Hawkefbury), he could not help thinking that they by no means experienced a correfponding return. He was convinced the time mutt and would come when the immunities now denied them would be granted. At a feafon Ic perilous as the prefent, we fhould look to every poffible means of Rrengthen ing our exertions t but it was impoffible that the Ca tholics in Ireland could feel the fame intereft in the concerns of the country till they participated in all the privileges of fellow fubjees. Lord ERSKINE Paid, that it was a fundamental principle of the Conflitution of this country, that no act could be done contrary - to law, and for which the perfons advifing it were at the fame time entitled to be indemnified, if fuch breach of law was oc. rationed by an act of imperious ncceffity. If this was a cafe of the kind, GOD forbid that it (hould be refilled for a moment. No man could quelion the right of the King to difmifs his fervants, or to dii. folve the Parliament. Thefe were undoubted pre rogatives, hut they were granted for very diftinet purpofes. If his Majefly law teafon to queftion the eonduet of his fervants, he might difmifs them ; or, if he faw reafon to doubt the Parliament, he might diffolve it, and take the fenfe of their Conflituents as to their conduit. But the law never intended that both of thefe Prerogatives fhottld be exercifed at one and the fame time. and with reference t r each other. I It was never in the contemplation of the C011(1411 1 tion of,this country, that Parliament Mould be dif folved limply to accommodate a change in Admini firation.o l This would be to confider Parliament not as econtroul on the conduit of Government, but as an appendage to it, to be diffolved and changed to fuit the different afpeets which it might affume. The unjuflifiable tocafures which in the mean time might be adopted, would, in fuch a view of the cafe, be objets of little confederation to thole by whom they were recommended. Having by the influence of the Crown got a Parliament to their mind, they had only to begin their career by an Ael of Indem nity for any meafure which they might have taken againft law, and without necellity. The arrival of Inch a period, he mutt confider as one pregnant with danger. It might be very well to talk of appealing to the fenfe of the people ; what would the community think,however, when informed that there are a number of Boroughs at the difpofal of the very perfons who advifed this diffolution; and that there are others, the property of, or influenced by a number of indi viduals, who, again, are under the influence of the Crown? fo that fuccefs is in inch an appeal nest to certain. But, Rill farther, when they law the feal of indemnity ready prepared for thole who advifed the meafure, mutt they not be of opinion that the period was moll dangerous ? If any thing could add to the peril of fuch a fituation, it was the Rate of things at the prefent moment, fo awful, fo impute dented as it mutt be admitted to be. The only way at loch a moment, to ;aura confidence and refpeft from thepublie, was for the Government ro chew itfelf prudent, and for Parliament to (hew itfelf in dependent. That Houfe multi do much to effeft this objeft. No perfon could diffolve them. They had it in their power by a tingle vote to cheek Inch an evil. To ;aloft& at on the Crown and the People; and to make themfelves beloved and elleem ed, they had oily to fay, 4, You flia4 not, ;,) dim ing the Houk of Commons, it& agaian Liao had no foundation for diffolving Parliament, an d we will not grant you an indemnity." The LORD CHANCELLOR maintained that the proper quellion now before the Houfe was, whether it was a right thing in Minifiers to advife his Majetly to pals the Order in Council ? Though Ministers might be blameable in advifing the diffulution of P AN iftiritenyftill the - Htnife wastound to- give them i n . demnity fort the as now alluded to, if it could he vindicated. •It war: not fair br a fide wind to com e at a queltiott which he, for one, was ready to dikufs and to vindicate openly andlairly. Ler the Noble Lord come forward with a (pedal no,tion charg e hnd• en the fobjeet of the diffolution of Parliam. n:, an d he firoold be ready to anfwer it. The Noble and Learned Lord (Et Nine) while he admitted the ex. tellence of the Britifh Connitution, did not feem in. dined to wilt ei:her the eleaorstor the ele6led. * lt was to that Houle, which could not be aff..ctej b y the diffolution, that he kennel to look. Thes could not be diffolved; and from them his Lordthipfemzd to expea a redrefs of all the evils he fuppoled to ex , ill. He delired oldie Noble and Learned Lord to look to the year 1806, when Parliament had been formerly difTolved ; there had then been no 'unbar. rxQing circumflances to render the diffolution necef fary—there had been no votes of either Houfe which indicated a with to impede the meafures of ' Government—yet that Minifir y, of which the Noble and Learned Lord (Erfkine) formed a part, had chofen to advife a diffulution of Parliament. He witted to know in what refpea the prelim Mini (tens were more to blame for having - recourfe to loch a meafure, than the late Minifters had been efteemed. The inquiry into which the tate Mini. Hers had forced the two Houfes of Parliament, he confidered the molt unconnitutional proceeding in which that Houk had ever been engaged. 11,e permiffion of his Majefty 'to bring firrward this ftatement, fu far from mending the matter, made it infinitely work. It was ufing his ttijeny's owes pertniffion to drag him to the bar of Par liameno— Such permiffion ought never to have been anted, and '-never to have been ailed on. His Majefiy's conduit, ' however, had in confequence been made a fuhjea of inquiry in both Houfes of Parliament, in a manner which had never formerly been witneffed ; and no. thing, he prefumed, could be more natural than, after fetch a difcuffion, to ftiomir the fubjet to the fink of the country, while the circuntaances were Ertl in the recollection of the people. A firm and vigorous Adtniniftration, it was admitted, was neceltary fir the country. He had no hefitation in declaring it is his opinion, that the {prefent was as firm and sigrr. ous as the late Adminittration. It was his with to render it as firm and rigorous as pollible ; and with this view, he had no hefitation in acknowledging, that he was probably one of the molt Orenuons advifera of his Majefly to the dilTolution of Parliament. His Lordfhip contended that fir far were the AOi of Pala liament againit Roman Catholics, from being calm laced to exclude them from the pale of the Brit& Conftitution, the only way to fecure that Connitotios both to them and to every other clafs of fuhje&s is the country, was to maintain thefe Mts. Toleratioa and power were very different. The Britifh Confii. tution gave toleration to every dale of its fuhjeas ; but the very nature of the thing rendered it needier, that power fhould be veiled where it was moll eal• culated to produce and to preferve the good of the whole. If perfons who by refufing to qualify thew felves for offices of power and troll, had Hill complete toleration allowed them, they had the benefits of tie Britifh Conflitation. With what confittency, how. ever, he would afk, could the Noble Lord flop with the officer( of the army and navy, why fhould not the immunity extend to the lawyer alto, and to evety officer in the Civil Government of the country ? Granting all that the moll zealous friends to Catholic emancipation could defire, he was convinced would not produce unanimity in the country. At all events, little would be gained if; in conciliating the Catholic', Government fhould lofe the veneration of the Pro. tenants. Lord CARYSFORT deprecated the doarines of the Learned Lord as molt extraordinary and daft. gerons. He withed that both Hooks of Parliament would let themfelves heartily at work on the belt manner of receiving, into the bofom of the flare, ft important a body as the Catholics. Adverting to the Bill before the Houle, he obferved, that the only . alleged neceffity for the order of Council. in which it originated, was the diffolution of Parliament, and by that diffolution to give to the new Adminifiratios an appearance at lean of flrength. This was, inks! opinion, a moil uncoonitutional neceffity. Lord LIMERICK had vainly hoped that at foal a moment as the prefent, all party fpirit would be forgotten in the common exertions for the genend intereft. He did not think the prefent period of danger, one in which cenceifion (tumid be made is the Catholics, who might apprehend, that thofe set ceffions would be refumed when the danger flioali ceafe to exit. The prefent Admininratioa had bast accufed of having unconnitutionolly exereifod theh fluence of the Crown in the late eiettir to know what had been the conduct of Adminittration in this refpea, and dv effea on their interference in variot empire, particularly in Wexford. Lord HOLLAND declared, that his friends were actuated by any feelin, the prefent inflance. The fundamental the Conftitution had been violated by tiers money had beer. levied en the the confent of Parliament, and this fioned by a voluntary, unufual, and ercife of the Royal prerogative. He feverely on the doarines which had by the Learned Lord on the avooll termed molt unconnitutional and ca dating his arguments by a reference riodoof the Britifh hillory. He was to the Church of England as any mi that the Conflitution depended upon ligion whatever. Had this country before the reformation ? He rhou l to the Catholics, that which they h: -pea, was the op:) , mode of laving lamented that England fhould be al tion, that retained prejudices which . in every enlightened State.
