I . f , i 1 I t • 1 i , .• , 1 • 4 t . ? tion of the clause in the Regency Act, to which he had alluded, bung so obvious, he thought it unne cessary to dwell upon the expediency of the pro posed alteration, and should, therefore, merely move the second reading of the Bill, premising, that upon further consideration, he had some additional clauses to propose, to which he would give due consideration. Bail GREY rose, and observed he could not help thus again expressing his surprize that a measure of this nature should be proposed, without any one spaec eific or distinct reason being assigned for its necessity. It was with some share of disappointment he per ceived, after what had been declared on the fotmer day, that no reason, necessity, or motive, should be now assigned on the important stage of the second reading. On these points the Noble and Learned Lord was unexpectedly silent. Nothing but general statements were offered, and especially respecting the inconveniency which would be felt if that part of the Regency Act which respected the care of his Ma jesty, were left unrepealed. With respect to the mode of appointing the new Members of the Coun cil, he (Lord Grey) thought it pretltable to adhere toy the mode laid down in the former Bill, and upon the same principle. But with respect tb the more impor tant consideration of varying the provision in the Regency Act for the speedy assembling of Parlia ment lit the event of a demise, it seemed to be now viewed in a very different light from what it was formerly. It was now held, that in the event of a demise, even after the new Parliament was called. the provision, by enacting a recurrence to the former Parliament, would produce incalculable inconveni ence to the public, and expense to individuals. He could not but express his surprize at such a provision having crept into the original Bill, which, from the legal office the Noble and Learned Lord held at the time, and he must imagine he had some share in framing it. (To this the Noble Lord on the Wool sack signified his dissent.) Subsequently however, when the measure was intrbduced, in 1811, on the occurrence of his Majesty's present unhappy malady, the Noble and Learned Lord held the high office he now holds, that Bill, though it underwent a great deal of discussion, was literally copied from the for mer, and the alleged mistake, if such it was, re peated, and on this he could not again avoid expres sing his surprize. A Noble Lord had stated, that the event of a demise of his Majesty stood upon dif ferent grounds from that contingency at present un der consideration; in the degree of importance there may be some difference; but from a view of the for mer Bill, he did not see the difference in other re spects. Since the last Regency Bill seven years had elapsed, and in that interval it would appear these pending inconveniencies had never, until very lately, entered into the heads of his M ajesty's Ministers. Why, he would ask, was not this measure proposed I before? Why wait until the close of a Session—un til all the business was winding up, and then, with out notice, or even a single reason assigned, not even in the preamble, introduce such a Bill as the present? There must be some other motive for the proceeding., Motives of delicacy, however, he thought should preclude too close a discussion of the subject ; but whatever objectionable that way may take place, it rested with those who so unopportunely brought for ward the measure. The time he thOught was pecu liarly ill adapted to the agitation of such questions. and at a time particularly, when, to speak at least hy pothetically, her Majesty's valuable life may be consi dered in danger. And farther, when he considered the mode in which the additional members were propo sed to be created, and the indefinite period of their continuance, he considered the•measure as exposed to such serious objections, that though he could not offer a negative to the second reading of the Bill, he felt it his duty to oppose at least the previous ques tion. His Lordship then took a cursory review of the clauses of the Bill, and argued that on a view of the whole, and still more so under the present cir cumstances, and regarding one motive fur bringing forward the measure to be an intended speedy disso lution of Parliament, perhaps in a fortnight, the Bill was one their Lordships, consistently with their duty, could not consent to. On a future and more suitable opportunity they could take up the discussion on a more extensive scale and less objectionable principle, when due . provisiorimay be made for the exercise of the Royal Authority, in the important event of a de mise. of the Prince Regent; and also with a view, re gard being had to the lamentable state in which his Majesty was placed, and unhappily likely to tonti-1 nue, to consider what reductions may be made in the immense expenditure of the establishments at Wind sor. With respect to a due provision for the exercise of the Royal functions in the contingency of a de mise of the illustrious person who now held it, the high office was a consideration of the less difficulty, when there happily could be no' danger as to the suc cession, and when the illustrious person, the next to that succession, presented a question upon which there could not be two opinions either in the Parlia ment or in the country. -Upon these general grounds and considerations, as well as some others superadded by the Noble Earl, comparatively of minor import ance, the Noble Earl moved the previous question. The Earl of LIVERPOOL contended the real ques tion was, whether the present measure was fitting, upon the grounds proposed to be adopted by Parlia ment? That there may be other, or ulterior topics, for consideration, did not in the leiit alter the ques tion now before them. Upon the subject there may be differences of opinion; but none, he could think, existed upon the question, whether or not the care of the King's person should continue in her Majesty? On that principle the leading clause in the Bill pro ceeded, and for which the fact, clearly expressed, constituted a sufficient ground. What his Noble and Leai'ued Friend stated upon that head, and upon the point of the impracticablity of any Merebar of the present Council habitually. attending at Windsor, was clear and incontrovertible; and the principle of the nomination resting exclusively in her Majesty, was established by the provision in the Regency Bill; and what her Majesty had already done or might have had occasion to do under that provi:ioni The melancholy event of death might have affo ded the opportunity of her Majesty's replaci g every one of her present Council ; therefore, to her appointing the additional Members there could be no rational objection whatever. W:tb respect to a provision for continuing the powers of the Regency, there was nu necessity, at the time of its enactment, for making any eventual provision ; and, upon the whble, in that respect, he argued it would have been productive of more inconvenience to have made provision for an eventual Regency than to adopt the course which had been taken. It was, therefore, esteemed preferable, (and in which sentiment a Noble Baron, then absent, concurred) to leave that consideration untouched ; and with respect to the Cio.vn it V• 23 very different, for there the next in sucrestion carae in as a matter of right. The measure before their Lordships went to obviate every inconvenience to be apprehended in this particular case, faun the pro vision of the Iteseacy Act, and it was provided her Majesty's Council, in the event of her demise, should have the care and custody of his Majesty's Royal Person until Parliament should meet ; whereas, under the provision intended for repeal, all the incalculable disadvantages which could result from an intervening dissolution,.and the reassembling of the preceding Parliament, would be inctirred—!hear.) As to the period of the measures introduction, the considera tion of the possibility of its being introduced ear lier was no . argument against entertaining it ; and with resper: so the supposed indelicacy of the present agitation and discussion of the measure he must, in justice to himself and his Noble and Learned Friend, observe, that the feelings of the Great Person most particularly referred, were not in the least compro mised. He had the satisfaction to say, that the mea sure in question was now brought forward, net only with the full knowledge and approbation of the Great Person whom it was equally their duty and their in clination to consult ; but it was agreeable to the feel ings and the desires of that Illustrious Person that it should be so--(hear, hear.) He therefore thought in every point of view there were ample grounds for submitting the measure to Parliament. They were not tenacious as to any particular words in the pro posed Act, which may easily be accorded in a Com mittee so as to obviate every shadow of objection to the Bill, and he consequently felt it his duty to press the motion for its second reading. The Earl of CARN:kRVON was against the Bill in its present shape, which, if adopted, he thought, would appear like Parliament withdrawing itself en tirely from all care or concern respecting his Ma jesty's person. The most advisable mode, he thought, which could be adopted under the circumstances, .was to vote an instruction to the Committee to sepa. rate the Bill into•two, as it certainly related to two very distinct considerations. At least the Bill would require the expunging two or three of its clauses to reduce it at all to an unohjectionable shape. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that to expunge three clauses froni a Bill which only con tained three clauses, would-be equivalent to its ex• tinction altogether—(a laugh ). The End of LAUDERDALE regarded the TIICA• sure in question as involving no small degree of in novation the Bill also possessed a different tenure for the Members of her Majesty's Council to hold their situations. At present they held them as such, during his Majesty's indisposition ; now, the addi tional Members were proposed to hold their offices during her Majesty's pleasure. The Regency Bill was enacted under circumstances very different from the present, especially with regard to the view to be taken of the state and duration of his Majesty's la mented indisposition. He was adverse to fettering the Executive Government with respect to the power of dissolution ; butjn his opinion, some of the provi sions of the Bill in question were objectionable, and would require much alteration and amendment. The LORD CHANCELLOR, in explanation, ad mitted the Bill was susceptible of a littleamend ment ; and entertained no doubt of its being easily rendered unobjectionable in the Committee. With respect to the preamble, lie could not but think that an adequate cause for the enactment, at the same time it may not be unfair to remark, that the greater number of Acts would be found to have no pre amble at all. The Marquis of BUCKINGHAM spoke in appro. bation of the measure. Circumstances had unfortu nately arisen since the first enactment on the subject which would render farther alteration necessary ; but with respect to the measure immediately before them he could not, especially with reference to what had latterly fallen trout the Noble and Learned Lord, refuse his assent to the second reading. The question was then put, when the motion for the previous-question was negatived, and the Bill consequently read the second time. The Earl of CABNA 11 VON moved an instruction to the Committee to divide the Bill into two, which, on the question being put, was negatived without a division.—The Bill was then committed far Monday. BANK RERTRICTION BILL. The Earl of LIVERPOOL observed, in moving the second reading of the Bank Restriction Bill, that as he understood it was the wish of sonic Nuble Lords to discuss The principle on the question for going into a Committee, he should reserve what he had to say for that occasion, and should name Tues day, if the house had no objection. The Earl of LAUDERDALE said, he had no wish to enter into the subject at present, but he could not consent to the second reading without asking the Noble Earl for what reason the measure was brought forward at all? What were the unforeseen circum stances on which he rested its necessity ? 'The Earl of LIVERPOOL stated, that to answer the Noble Lord's question fully, would lead him into the whole subject of debate.

The Messengers were informed, that their Lordships would send an answer by Messengers of their ow.p. The Saving Banks' Amendment Bill was brought up from the Commons by Sir J. Gas IJAM and ethers, and read the first time. The Spanish Slavo Treaty Bill passed through a Committee of the whole House, and was reported.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE presented a Petition from Two Individuals on the hNtablisiment of Greenwich complaining of certain dues or aaowances being unjustly with held from them. CIVEEN'S COUNCIL BILL. The Order of the Day for the second reading of this Bill being read— The LORD CHANCELLOR repeated the neces sity that existed for making provision for the ap pointment of an additional number of Members of the Queen's Council, in consequence of the residence of some of these Members at the place where the King resided, becoming necessary in consequence of the Queen's remaining in town. With respect to the mode of appointment by vesting the nomination in the Queen, and to which a Noble Earl had on a for mer evening objected, he (the Lord Chancellor) did not mean to object to any other mode of appoint ment that their Lordships should think requisite, the only object of this part of the Bill being to provide for the appointment in some way of a certain addi tional number of Members of the Queen's Council. With regard to the second part of the Bill, their Lordships were aware, that by the Regency Act, it was provided in the event of the Queen -ceasing to, have the care of the King's person, that Parliament should forthwith assemble, and in case of the event happening between the dissolution of one Parliament, and the day of meeting of another,.then the old Par liament was to assemble forthwith, even though the event should happen only the day before that ap pointed for the meeting of the new Parliament. It must be obvious to the House, that very great in conveniences might arise from the operation of this provision in the Regency Act ; and as the care of the King would, in the event of the demise of she Queen, be vested, with full powers, in her Majssty's Council, there was clearly no necessity for theforthwith meet ing of Parliament; he could see no solid objection to the alteration of the cla us e alluded to, by substituting the power to summon Parliament at a short notice. MC inconvenience that might axise from the opera-
