THE EARL OE CLANCARTY TO VISCOUNT CASTLEREAGH. " Vienna, May 6, 1815. " Mr Loan—Adverting to your Lordship's dispatch, No. S. and to its et veva' inchseire., couveying a proposal made by the existing Government in France, and your Lorelehip's answer thereto, I have the honour to acquaint you, fur the information of his Majesty's Government, that at a conference held on the 3el instant, his Highness Prince Metternich acquainted us.. , that a M. de Su:feline, who had been stopped on his way hither, at Lintz, trent nut having been furnished with 'proper passports, had addressed a letter to Isis Imperial Majesty, and therewith furwari!ed sumo unopened letters which the Emperor had di reeted him to unseal iu the presence of the Plenipotentiaries of the Allied Powers. " These proved to be a letter from Bonaparte, addressed to his Majesty, profes'.ivg a desire to continue at peace, to observe the stipulations of the treaty of Paris &e. and a letter from M. de Caulaineourt to Prince Mettetnich containing similar prieessiorts. " After reading these Papers, it was considered whether any, and what answer should be made thereto, wben the general opi nion appeared to be, that none should be returned, and no notice whatever taken of the repeal. " Upon this, u indeed upon all other wagons, subsequent to the resumptiou of ate hority by Bonapartea wherein the present State or the Continental Powers, with esprdeti France, has come under ascussion, but one opiniun has appealed to direct the Councils of the several Sovereigns. They Where, and from the commencement have never ceased to adhere to their Declaration or the 13th of March, with respect to the actual Ruler of France. They are in a state of hostiety with bias and his adherents, not from choice, but from necessity, because past experience has 'hewn, that no faith has bean kept by him, and :Nu no reliance can be placed on the professions atom who has hitherto no luoger regarded the most solemn compacts than as it may have Suited his own cuiveutentie to observe them, whose word, the only a•su*ante he can afford for his peaceable disposition, is not less in direct opposition to the tenor of his former life, titan it is to the mileary po.it•on in which hr is actually placed. They feel that they should neither perform their duty to themselves ur to the people tomcatted by PaovsucNcL to their charge, if they were now to 1 eten to chose professions of a desire for peace wh eb have been made. and stiffer themselves thus to he lulled into the supeceitien that they might now relieve their people Irons the butihen of sup pursing immense military masses, by diminishing the it forces to a peace establishment, convinced, as the several Sovereigns are, from past experience, that no wooer should they have been disarmed, than advantage would be taken of their want of pr-paration. to renew those scenes of aggression and blood shed, from which they had hoped that the Pelee so gloriously won at Paris, would ling have secured them. " 'l4ev are at war, then, fur the purpose of obtaining some security hit their own iudependence, and for the re-coequest lit that peace slid permanent tranquillity, for which the world has se less pauted. They are nut even at war for the greater or less prop:a-rem of security which France can istfurd client of future tratiqudltty, but because France, under its present Chief, is un able to all eel them any fecurity wigs:ever. " to this war, they do nor .:.sire to interfere with any legiti mate right Of the ' , rend& pe..ple ; they have no design to oppose the clami of that natkni to chonsu their owns form of Govern • meat, or intention to trench, in any respect, upon their ande -1,: nd.nce as a greet and tree people : but they Jo think they have a eagle, and that to the highest nature, to coteend against the re e.taelestintent of an individual as the head or the French Govern ment, we-ese past conduct has invariably de ((((( norete i, that in such a *statue he will nor suffer other natlents to tie at peace— Whose restless aneetion, whoa,. then for fur eign nonqoest, and wt ese•ei•ieeani tor the rights arid inekeendence lit othreStates, must eapuse the whole of Europe to renewed scenes of plunder aad devastation.

In c insemicnce of the absence of the Luau CMANCILLOI from indlseosniuti, Lord ELLIINIOROUGU officiated as Speaker of the House. The Irish Jails Regulation Bill was brought up from the Corm. mons by Mr. IiIIOODICN and read a first time , as were a great number of Private or /Acid Bills, presented by Mr. 'MLA?, Mr. Ms•rnuts, Lord Mtvror, and other Members.

The Earl of LIVERPOOL presented a Message from the Prince Regent, which being read in the usual way, was to the following effect : GS Gsoaas P. R. " His Royal Highness the Prince Regent, wing in the name un3 on the behalf of his Majesty, thinks it right to inform the House of Lords, that in consequence of the events which have recently occurred i n France, in &met contravention of the trea ties concluded at Paris in the course of the last year, has judged it necessary to 'enter into engagements with his Majesty's Allies, tor the purpose of forming such I concert as the present dram stances indispermitily require, and fur preventing the revival of that system and course of events which experience has proved to be incompatib:e with the peace and independeno. of the na tions of Europa " His Royal Highness has directed copies of the Treads cae chided with his Majesty's Allies to be laid before the Hoose, and he confidently relies on the support of the House of Lords in all measures which it maybe necessary for him to adopt In conjunc tion with his Majesty's Allies against the common enemy at gsla important crisis." The Message being read, it was ordered on his Lordship's motion to be taken into consideration to. morrow, and the Lords to be summoned on the oc casion. The Noble Earl then laid upon the table certain do cuments referred to in the Prince Regent's Message. Earl GREY, after a few words respecting the shortness of the interval allowed for discussion, .and which he thought was not so strictly founded in pre cedent, as the Noble Earl seemed. to imagine ; in quired, as he thought it indispensably necessary to be known, particularly with reference to the important' discussion of to-morrow, in what state this country WAS to be considered. Whether or not, in an actual state 6f war; and whether the usual steps, at the commencement of such a state, were taken The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, when the One should regularly :strive, he 'Rusted be should be able satisfactorily to explain, what the Noble Earl refer r ed •to. Witt respect to the particular question, no steps bad yet been actually taken ; *no embargo was laid 'oft, youletters of marque hs ed. But be slioold be wily deceiving their Lordships. W be called upon Ahem to constder this Message in any other light, it'll as a Message of War, and the Address to be voted upon it, as one preceding acts of hostility, which /my be adopted as soon as general expediency may rerder them advisable. Earl GREY then inquired if the Austrian Treaty was amongst those documents just presented, or to be speedily communicated The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, the Treaty ad. vetted to was not amongst them—the ratification; but all the other Treaties would be delivered ready printed to-morrow. IN ZOOM TIONS AT VMN A. The Order of the Day upon which their Lordships were summoned being read, The Marquis of BUC KING HAM rose. He should not in the first instance have to trouble their Lord ships at any length upon the present occasion. A prominent article, in one of the 'treaties upon the table, stated the solemn engagement of the High Contracting Powers to unite their resources for the purpose of maintaining the conditions of the Treaty of Paris, and the stipulation: determined and signed by the Congress at Vienna, It was therefore essen tial the House should know what those stipulations were, which the country was thus h•rund to support ; and consequently he thought it not too much for him to call upon his Majesty's Ministers to state. With re spect to the Noble Earl's intention not to call for any approbation from the House of what passed in the Congress at Vienna, lie did not think it quite sa. tisfactory upon the point, nor did he think that which was introduced into, or referred to a ratified treaty, unfit to be communicated to Parliament. Whether the decision was to be for war or peace, any stipula tions which the country wassobound to support should in justice be made known to the House. The Noble Marquis concluded by moving an Address to the Prince Regent, praying for the pruductionof aCopy of the stipulations determined upon and signed at Vienna, and referred to in an article of the Treaty concluded with his Majesty's Allies, and laid before the House by command of his Royal Highness. • On the question, Lord LIVERPOOL assured - the Noble Marquis, 'that it would be improper to grant the information which the motion referred, and also that such infor mation was not at all necessary to enable the House to come to a decision upon the Address which it was proposed to bring forward to-morrow, for the discus-' non of which he should reserve himself until the pro• per opportunity offered. He did not mean to say that it would be improper to communicate to Parlia went the information required by the Noble Marquis, but the time was not yet come for making that corn munication, as the stipulations alluded to formed no part of any ratified treaty. When that ratification should take place, those stipulations would of course be made koown to their Lordships. The force of the Noble Marquis's observations he (Lord Liverpool) should be ready to admit, if it were intended by the vote of to-morrow to caU upon their Lordships for any pledge upon the meek of the transactions to whicit the motion referred. Bet that vote would leave these transactions still open for discussion, as it would not involve any opinion whatever upon the proceedings of the Congress at Vienna t Therefore, whether those proceedings were right or wrong the Noble Marquis's motion could answer no object, with a vie* to the discussion of to-morrow, because the question to be discussed wood have no reference to those proceed ings.. What the nature of those proceedings then was war 111101,M present material for the House to know. That the arrangements ainstuded by Congress Ewe just and expedient, he for one was fully prepared to maintain ; but the defence of these arrangements was not at all necessary with any regard to the mo. don of to-morrows For that motion had a distinct object - in view, and involved this question simply. whether there Lordships would agree to suppert otrt Allies against the a fade Government of France Whet)eer any opposition to that Government, in con- 1 junction with our Allies, was a fit and expedientl proceeding on our part I But whether the general, arrangements of Europe, concluded or contemplated, by Congress, were proper or improper, the House would not to-morrow be called upon to deliver any opinion. Under all these circumstances then, assur ing the Noble Marquis that the information which he l l required, could not cot:lP:tend; be produced at pre sent, sad that such information ci uld in no degree bear on the question fixed for discussion to-mor row, he trusted the Noble Marquis would see the impro. priety of pressing his motion. The Marquis of BUCKINGHAM agreed, that if in the motion of to-morrow it were not proposed to call upon the House for any pledge respecting the , arrangements of the Congress, it was not necessat y to press his motion. At the same time he must ex press his surprise that any obligation connected with those arrangements should have been mixed with a question as to the propriety of seconding our Allies in resistance to the present Government of France, because such an obligation seemed to betray a desire to obtain by a side wind the approval of their Lord , ships with respect to these arrangements. However, upon the understanding stated by the Noble Secre tary, he should consent to withdraw his motion. Earl GREY concurred with the .opin;un of his No ble Friend, that it the stipulations alluded to were fit to be included in a ratified treaty, pledging this country, they were in a state to be laid beime radio , runt. But, according to the Noble Secretary, they ought not to be communicated to their Lordships, because they formed no part of a ratified treaty.— The treaty, however, of the 25th of March stated, that these stipulations were signed and concluded by Congress, and therefore in his (Lord Grey's) opinion, as they were included in this treaty that was actually ratified by the Allies, the stipulations themselves must beheld as not alone virtually but really and po sitively ratified—(flavor, hear.) That Treaty too, it was to be recollected, pledged this country, there fore it-was deshable to know the nature of those sti pulations, in order to enable the House to decide upon the question, which it would be tumorrow called upon to discuss, and which he must confess that he almost trembled to consider. The consider... thin of the general expediency alluded to by the No ble Secretary, and what was to determine the com mencement of a perilous contest, must in a great measure, ilepend upwt the views of the Allies and how could those views b e a scertaine d, it thi: knowledge of the stipulations, which formed a part of Their Treat's r gist withheld from o , House—it thdr Lordships bed not the means of judging of the nature, pnnciple, and extent of th, engagements—for the engagementt of the eonf4 racy might be such as to determine the inetpediert of the war on our part, and to endanger the prosp t • of-success. In a contest so full of danger and , pense, be contended that the country ought not h plunged with the consent of that /Loco, . heing folly aware of the °hints of the coufedeo, c With this view, then, he felt that it was mao.,La put their Lordships in possession of the stipulatio referred to, and also of the terms upon whi c h Lht XVIII. had acceded to the alliance, in order to u derstand under what pleige this country WAS hi): • to act, A publication had this day appeared, p c porting to be the Manifesto of that unfortunate M, tetra, whit!) contained these remarkable word s , Powers assembled at Congress resolved that Ole S i cession of the King (Louis XVIII ) sho u ld imanded to the new compact which they hail j u eluded —their Ambassadors have brought co ot municatons to his Majesty - they presented to lora the new credentials of their respective Sovereiges, tt, reside wherever the sole legitimate SoVero ign c: France was, and their powers being antarntieat e d they offered the new Treaty of the Allies to Mam a don and signature of the King. Frenchme n , it ) King has deliberated and signed it. In ti re WOrd alone lies your whole security." These words he (1 4 . 3 ,. Grey) thought at variance with the Declaration an flexed to our ratification of the Treaty alluded to and therefore, previous to the consider ition 14 t o proposed Address. he felt that their Lordships ra . be informed of the terms upon which Luis XVIII. had acceded to this Treaty. He felt also that a e,,p of the powers granted to our Arab issad.-r at th Court of Louis XVIII. should be laid ri, House. These documents, lie conceived hecessaty t enable the House to decide upon the important ttit ject announced for discussion toonorrow, and th t ic tore he required them from his Majesty's Miiii4l.co. The Eat 1 of LIVERPOOL, in ref==it g to ti, former part of the Noble Lord's speech, rep ot ,, , that the transactions at Vienna had no referetce what ever to the question about to be discussed. Ever; the present Rider of France had never returnol t that country, those transactions would he in the sore state as now. Certain' points were decid d, toes until all were determined upon, they voila not b embodied in a Treaty fit to be laid before the H.. v . but in no view whatever did they bear uprn, ;1 A which they would have to decide to-morrow, v:ic would respect an assurance to die Prince Herta : their support in such measures as he should Air in conjunction with the Allies, against the coma:, enemy. With respect to another point touched upo • by the Noble Earl, he could'only say that no lutria• act of accession had been received on the part , • Louis XVIII. or WAS in the possession of his istlj , !- ty's Government. In regard to another observation. it was true that certain Ministers of the Mite Powers resided near the person of Louis XVIII. but the principle upon which the Allies and din, country would proceed, was not that of forc:ng Ira the people of France any particular Goveninamt. though they thought, and it was avowed, that th. • restoration of the ancient dynasty in the legitimat. line, would be the must likely to conduce to the gc neral tranquillity of Europe, and the s!ci;rity anti happiness of France itself., but they were n. t twerpd to the support of Louis XVIII. beyond the to which he had referred. The Marquis of BUCKINGHAM, after a shot further explanation, withdrew Lis motion. A sheet conversation tuck place respecting the far. ther progress of Lord Roseberry'► Diann ce BiII, in which Lord GitetsviLLE,the Marquis of Lassoov:...., and the Earl of 4..AUDURDALE participated, the te• stilt was, that the Bill was ordered for disciassion nV Wednesday; for which day, alter a few wr)‘l, be, tween Lords GREW/ILA and ELLexsoftoutat, t chscussiop of the Freehold Estates Liability also fixed.
