.~. •T~ • • e evil? complained Of in Nide, 'it wee *re difficult ,ay what remedy ought to . be applitat ; and it was to l a: lamented that thote evils were not of a tangible name, tee of a description that could be rendered susceptible o f cure by the operation of time albne. One of the mea sures referred to by the Noble Lord (the Tithe Compo si:ion Bill) had been considered as calculated to pro duce an effectual cure for the diaOrders of that country, had had in its venial operation met the aleprobation of the Noble Lord. The other, respecting the Police, *as qually iPpithed. of. To correct the evils of the tithe system was . doubtless a work of importance; and in considering that subject it was necessary to recollect that the tithe system of Ireland differed materially frchn that of this country. In correcting the evils of that systjm it was necessary that the interests of all the 'parties concerned should be kept in view, and amongst these the rights of the Church must net be overlooked, feral' rights, of what nature soever, must be respected. With these feelings he was fully impressed when he in eroduced to their Lordships the reason to . which he had ;est referred ;* he had candidly admitted thit it might rot rot be e ffi cient at once, but that, like all b tier great measures, it might require amendment. He could then cay with pleasure, that the success of the measure, not withstanding all the difficulties that were opposed to it, had very far exceeded'the most sanguine expectations that had been formed of it. .It, would be found that, out of 966 instances, , in which it had been attempted td be carried into'effect, • the :measure was enrol ced in 216 instances—(Hear, hear). Many of these too in districts which had been previously much disturbed, and in which the disturbances had been ascribed to the tithe system. What other measures ought to be adopted ha the subject it was not for him to say, but, he would old, that every measure adopted for Ireland, shetild be is the genuine spirit of the Constitution, in order that it should produce great and lasting benefits to the country: Lord HOLLAND concurred in nearly all the topics embraced in the Address; there were • none indeed to Which he had an insuperable objection; but he yet con sidered that the tone and temper of it were not such as their Lordships ought to adopt, considering the present State of Europe. He fully agreed in the first part of it, which related to the internal prosperity of the country, Which he was happy to admit was most flourishing ; he would go one step further, and add, that this prosperity was meinl attributable to the wisdom and firmness of Parliiment, especially in the resumption of cash pay mente-,htr measure, of the success of which he would be candid enough to admit he had the most fearful doubts; but he was not prepared tngive Ministers all the credit they claimed for this prosperity, more particularly when he recollected the language used by them during that distress..—As when his Noble Friends attributed it to the transition . from war to peace—" No," exclaimed the Noble Lords opposite, ig it is owing to dry seasons, or to a superabundant population ; they now turn round and take credit for our recovery, though he did not think that they had by their eloquence brought down the rants front Heaven, or abated the passion of lore. Another part of the Address that afforded him mach .satisfaction was, the arrangement that had been entered into with Austria for the repayment of the money that she had borrowed fuona us, though he had almost feared that the money that we should get would hardiy pay the expenses of Loed Stewart's embassy. S.erie merit was due to the Emperor of Austria for this st.okc.ol honesty, as he believed hiseletermination was taken contrary to the advice and opinions of his Minis ters; he also thought that the Noble Lords on his side of the House were entitled to some -share of praise, as, bad they adhered .to that prim propriety of speech so strongly recommended by. the Noble President of the. Council, he firmly believeci . that that resolution never would have been taken. The situation of our West India Colonies is.a queition of deep and vast importance, but I doubt the prudence or policy of dwelling on it, or of suffering it•to occupy so large a portion of his Ma jesty's Speech ; and I should fear that it is only a prea lade to call for an augmentation of troops. If it is meant as only calling on this House to adopt measures , for their amelioration, I am ready to say that the force of the country should be increased, especially 'in Jamaica ; and that strict attention ought to be paidtes the mot ality and discipline of the troops, and by a difa ferent distribution of them, as great improvements may be thereby effected ; and further, that the forts should. be destroyed, and barracks and a naval arsenal substi; tuted. I state this on the authority of an officer very capable of judging—Major-General Cobbold. I now come to that part of the Speech as to the state in which this country stands with regard . to Europe. Our situa t,!on is new and awful, to a dreadful degree, since we last met. It is a fact that nobody can deny, that France is in military possession of Spain. This has been looked upon .by the Noble Mover as a matter of joy and satis faction; but, in my judgment, the present situation of Europe gives the most anxious apprehension, considered only on the point of British interests, Within the last eight years we have completely lost sight of the Old policy of this country, which was always to prevent the preponderance of that Power nearest our own coast: This was the object of sing William's WltS, of that ofl George I. of Sir R. Walpole's of Lord Chatham's—and in som e measure 'of Lord Ch atham's son's • but now the Hely Alliance h as esta bli s h e d one w ill, an d that will is universal empire. At the' conitnencement of the French Revolution, 'the ground on which this country went to war was t h e d ecree o f t h e 19t h . o f Nov em b er , w hi c h held out promises of assistance to the` natives of every country who wished to shake Off their allegiance, This was considered' is' an interference in the internal ina hagement of other countries. 'lle Holy Alliance acted ee this principle with regard to Spain, 'and it was equally in hostility to the ancient policy of this emit try. In this situation it was necessary that the Govern ment should reflect on the crisis, and Adopt 'Om "nide sere, not hastily, but somewhat speedily, which would tend to preserve the balineeof power in •EntoPe.

He did not-nnifr argue, wliefhir .or„ not they followed the line ofptilic.y that ought to have been adopted ; but was it a time to con- • gratulate Crown that matters were no worse.?' What was it that did really happen ? The conquest by Fran Ce., Wear, hear!) That was the event they std . - feted to take place, almOst without the slightest expres-. Slim of disapprobation —...without protest or remonstrance; an event to avert which, in former times, the greatest and most expensive wart ever undertaken by this country had been waged, and victoriously waged. Whether they could avert the war or not was another question. This, at least, was clear, that the present state Of the Continent offered most serinus ground of alarm. He could not admit the force of the argument so do quently advanced by the Honourable (,entlernan who seconded the Address. The little resistance offcred by Spain was, he said, .t proof that this country would have been premature in interfering otherwise than she had. This was an argument that cut two ways. He should like to know, it Spain were not averse from the restored Government, if the body of the pesiple did not entertain sentiments favourable to the Constitution, what was the motive for retaining •in that unfortunate country a force of 50 or 60,000 . men ? Either the Spaniards were friendly to the Constitution,..ot France was now the con queror of Spain ; and holding possession of it as a con. quered country, ne.t.vithstanding herformer protestationt to the Credulous Ministryof England. One or other branch of the dilemma was inevitable, and the last was thatin calculably most injurious to the interests-of His belief was, that Spain was attached to the c(stwitti." r tion; and - was now only kept down by st„ flinch force; he should be told, perhaps, that the fears heetwertained from the conduct of France were chimerical; that no danger could result to this country. It 'bad been said, that England never stood in a more commanding atti- 1 tude than now ;.ttiat her influence was never greater-0 that she never • more completely held the 1)411010 of power in Europe. Where were the proofs of The; fact appeared to be, that 'they were entirely shut out' from the deliberations of the other Powers; they had, no voice in the conclave of Sovereigns, and were called upon only-as brokers to contribute their money in sup port of the war, to lend their aid when the bills became dtte—(4 laugh.). He believed, however, that the case did not present so much of a dilemma as might be sup- Posid; and • that in fact the Allies did not look upon ,them:sisu Power - that ought to interfere. - It was the et:titimOtifilk,iii tome of the saloons of Paris, that Eng fotitro must content herself with the situation of aaecoadary Power, with that in which nature and, he would add, -herown choice placed her; he should. be . told that the danger's he apprehended were..either very diitintor quite chimerical; that there was nothing to lie apprehended from those: conspirators against the liber ties of Europe, who went tinder the appellation of the 'Hilly ;Allies. - This was the name they gave themselves. These Con.tpiratori vi•ere, wise. in their generation.— He did ; pot. apprehend that they would immediately proceed to outrage the - feelings of this .country—that they would attempt it this year or the next. Though we were botind to keep:the peace under a recognisance of • 1:800,000,000 still there were outragei under which the lioly Alliance knew we would forfeit even a recogni sauce so great, and say to the authors of such outrage,. let the deht go as it may, we will submit to this no longer. Being conscious of this, the Allies would not make any sudden attempt to excite opposition ; they would under take nothinr , outrageous, uritil after slow encroachment:, Submitted to one after the other,as One great importance, they would attemptsome decisive stepaliat mustat 160 drive this country iuto an tinsucceSstut; because onequat struggle. Look at their conduct to iitherciAintries, • He recollected that last .Session he was treated with torite thiog approachi ng to de . rision by the Right Honourable Gentleman the Sec fr For 'Affairs. in con- HOUSE OF COMMONS. This being the day to which Parliament vMs prorogued for the dispatch of business, the House tact iccordinglf. 'flu: Smacks took the chair at a quarter before three o'clock ; soon after which, Sir Thomas Tyrwhltt, Usher of the Black Hod, summoned the House to the House of Lords, to hear the Commis; sion from his Majesty for opening the Session read. After /laving been absent for about i quarter of an hour, the Speaker retdrned, and passed through the House to his private room. He resumed the chair at a few minutes before fonr o'clock, At which hour there was rather a full attendance of Members. The SPEAKER informed the House, that he had, pursuant to Act bf Parliament, issued writs for the return of new Membersr— for Lincoln:hire, in the room of the Hon. Charles Anderson Pelham, now Lord Yarborough ' • and for the Borough of Liskeard, in the room of the Hon. Wm. Eliot, now Earl of St. Germaini. The new Member) then took the oaths and their 4eats. Mr. LUSH IN GTON moved for new writs for the ,return of Members—for the Borough of Eye, in the rims of Sir Robert Gifford, who, had accepted the office of Lord Chief Justtee of the Court of Common Pleas; for the Borough of Ashburton, in the room of Sir John Singleton Copley, who had accepted the office of his Majesty's Attorney-General; for the City of Oxford, in the room of Charles Wetherell, Esq. who had accepted the office of his Majesty's Solicitor-General; for Wigton, in the room of • Sir John Osborn ; for Sandwich, in the room of Joseph Marryat, Fag: de ceased; for the County of Cavan, in the room of the Right lion. John Maxwell Barry, now Earl of Farnham ; and for Dumfries, in .the room of Wm. Robert Keith Douglas, Esq. who had accepted the office of one of the Lords of the Admiralty. • Lord WI Ll.l A M FITZG ER AI. D moved fors new writ for the return of a Member for the county of Louth, in the room of the Right Hon. Thomas Henry Skeffington, now a Peer. The Clandestine Outlawry Bill pasted through the usual form. The SPEAKER then said, that the Howe had attended in the [louse of Lords tohear the Royal Speech delivered by Commission, a copy of which he would then read. (See the STAR of yesterday.) Mr. ROWLAND HILL then rose to move an Ad dress to his Majesty, in reply to his most gracious Speech. In doing which the lion. Gentleman observed, he had to claim a large portion of the indulgence of the House. When he, however, recollected what had been the situation of the country a short time ago, and what it was at present, he felt the greatest satisfaction in moving the present Address. When the present . state of the country was contrasted with the past, it must ;give the greatest satisfaction to every one. Our manu 'factures flourishing, our agriculture reviving, our te venue improving, and °taxation decreasing, were proofs of the great exertions which had been made. He con , gratulated the House on the present improved state *of Ireland, and on the state ot • our foreign relations i• but in a tone so low and. indistinct, that but little of what he said could be collected in the Gallery. The last topic of the Speech to which'he ackyerced was the state of .l file. West India Colonies. ..lie trusted the House woOsi. without loss of time, turn its attention to this impot tint subject; and at the same time , discuss it with coolire4- and temperauce. 'The 'll4,oentleman, amidst 41* . applause of the House,. concluded by moving an Ad-. dress to - his Majesty. . • ; Mr. DALY seconded the Address.He had, he said,: so often experienced indulgence;, that he felt assured he' should have it again; . the Speech was most satisfactory; e situation of site country .was most flattering ; it wao ,only a few years ago when our ommeree experienced difficulties in all directions ; now. itwas most flourishing.' Great Britain, .in contests on which he need not dwell had been triumphant, she haanot bowed before an able and an inveterate enemy ; but hatirrsevered, and had triumphed; and at the Congress our Ministers shewed as much discretion, as, in the field courage had been evinced ; he lamented the proceedings in Spain ; but the very slight efforts made there proved the judicious course that had been pursued by Ministers—(Hear !) Besides, it was Most important, after the great struggle in which we had been engaged, that we should enjoy the blessings of peace. The country owed much to the Ministers. Look in which 'direction they pleased, they saw that the several interests .of the country were im proving; agriculture, in particular, was in a flourishing condition. He thought, then, that there was good ground for returning an Address on his Majesty's Speech. It was a matter of no small congratulation, that in eight years twenty millions of taxes had been remitted— (Hear, hear).—Our resources were powerful. Even France could not have made her " monstrous aggres sion" on Spain Without the aid .of British capitalists. South America also presented matter for gratifying re collection, because there they saw the people throwing off an odious yoke. He was pleased that Consuls had been appointed; and he was satisfied with the course that had been pursued by our Ministers. • The situa tion of the West Indies was painful. The question was important, and ought to be approached with caution: . , Mach temper was req u ired, quite as Mak as had geed. evinced in the West Indies; and they must not forget the property which this country had involved in the West Indies. As to the situation of 'his own , country, he 'admitted that Parliament had dOne rrinch for Ireland,' The recent measures were of a most beneficial tendency; • they tended to convince the People•of Ireland that jus-: Lice would now be donethem. (Hear:) He, however, had much hope fromxice:Oployruent of English 'capital in Ireland ; one manufactory, otiginatiog in Englislica pital, would do more good for Ireland than iolumes`of laws--(Cheers). However, do what iheyvionld,•the're- . sult - would notsbe as satisfactory a they. eotijd'ileike, wbilethere..was a divided People--I(Cheir . s.) This Coon-, try must be .happy, because there were no such impedia ments in the way of its happinesi; a like system—the • absenie of Was that divided the people, extended to Ireland, would secure her happiness-t(Cheers.) The SPEAXIIR then read the Address. • Mr. - BROUGHAM said he . roie chiefly inconsequence of wore irbieivitiods which had fallen from the Hon. Seconder, having had no means of informing himself of the contents of the - Speech, except so far as •they had been . collected by anticipation in some Morning Papers, add *a fOreigir Paper, which ha d . made a ye, y correct conjecture, as to the substance of.the,King's'Speech-- - (A laugh). Considering the magnitude .of the topics dis, cussed, he wished the old practice of better times had been followed; but is he knew it . would be violently opposed if.he were to propcise .postponing the. considera.;, tiou of the Speech till they had examined it, he should go on to remark on .some of those topics which hal t coming from the lips of the Hon; Seconder, given him un *feigned pleasare.!and delight. • He meant the- latter.part Of that Hon.

There teas Ito ocaisiint to say that atsimilerotate of thitigtexisted in Spain, since it vas com mitted to the cnargf of him who was a worthy representative of the lioly Allies—ebe beloved Ferdinand—(A laugh)—who, he had no 'hesitation in saying, wa's an object of more contempt, abhorrence, and disgust ' than ail other man now living. There he was, after -breaking through every obligation that should bind him as a Mo narch or a private mats, torturing innocent women, with the blood of thegal!ant hut unfortainate Riegu's murder on his head. It was impossible chit there could exist, eithet in that House or out of it, hut ohs feeling el lierfor • end execration for the armed despots. There was not one.who must not detest the %Aloic conduct and principles of those Itoyalconspirators, who were now filling Eu rope with blood and.misery. Whatever might be the feelings with respect to Old Spain, he found there were many persons, he did not allude to his Majeitrs-11Ilnisterr, extremely sensitive as to anything that regarded New Spays, any interference the French, or any ether Power in that.quarter. Let the whole coax of Spain be under the rule of a country irons which Ireland might be advantageously invaded ; let that euuntry take possession of her harbours and her arsenals how -in 'decay, and mike preparation for putting then% into a state fit -teereceive and equip her fleets ; let all this be dune, these persons say we mind it not, Inc who is afraid of Fraree?

The instant any attempt of that ithel•is made, then, say they, go to war. How these per sem thought, after permitting the invasion of Spain, that they could make out a case aaainst any policy trance might think fit to pursue with regard to South America, be knew not.

The Right Honourable Gentle niati Cannirig) said list sear, that time and the course of events bad settled the queitictO with respect to -South America; but had sot time also-settled the.questatin with teimett - to the Contititition at Spain? Two years back there was no indication of disobedience' to 'the new system introduced, there.

These were inconsistencies he could not, reconcile. He trustedehae South America would never ;eine% under the dominion of the mother country, whatever might be the farM of Government there, whether Constitutional, or, as it now was, coinpletely Despotie. lie trusted these Colonies would retain 1 the freedom they had'putchased with their blood, and that, if the necessity. shoteld arise; this .country would do her duty. Happilyi this important question was now nearly disposed of. He spoke it with pride and exultation, that an event had lately occurred which Must be a source of pride to every nation that cherished any idea of freedom, and fill with gratitude every bosom 'that regarded die rights and liberties of mankind. He alluded to a declaration in the Speech of the President of the United States—( Hear, hear.) — lc was open, manly; and intelligible,. such as became a free nation; and he trusted they would not' be deterred by an y mean - spirite d calculations of prudence,lrinti any apprehension of giving offence to then* Allies, from following the noble example, and joining out efforts to those of the free people of America, to set bounds to the encroachments of a despotic alliance, which, if once it could bring the Old World under subjugation, would no doubt endeavour to extend its tyranny to the New.' That 'such was their wish he had no doubt. They had clear proof of it from the letter of Fee dinand, in which he expressed a hope that Emperor •of Rus sia, weuld assist him in the subjugation of South America.
