Under these circumstances it was, that under an authentic, but not official document, his. Royal Highness the Prince Regent bad b:en pleased to express his gracious wish that a Govetams-nt fee the country should be formed on au extensive and liberal basis. While he thus mentioned the name of his Royal Highness, he begged to be understood as of , t considering the Prince Regent to have acted without the advice of others. Upon the failure of that new. dation, the greatest possible calamities seemed to impend with respect to our domestic situation and circumstances. When be recollected the language held, as he understood, in another place, by one of the Confidential Servants of the Crown, who expres sed a wish that the College of Maynooth had never existed, or words to that effect, what must be his alarm as to the influence such language must have on the minds of their fellow subjects in the sister Icountry ; must it not, in the nature of things, induce a maim( animas among th em ? A Right Honestrable . Gentleman, whose wisdom, talents and moderatiou, Iwere never to be sufficiently applauded, had given notice of a motion on the subject to which he jest principally alluded, on the 14th of April—but by the votes of the Commons on the table, he learned, that on the 13th, that House tkttrmined on a call ; but rumour said, that this call was proposed by a high confidential servant of the Crown, whose continuance in cffice was considered as a bar to the desired ar.

Several of the Bids upon the table wute forwarded, and some routine business disposed of. The House then adjourned for some time . , during pleasure. About five o'clock the House resumed, when the Mutiny Bill was read a third time and passed. The Royal Marine Mutiny Bill was also forwarded. Some Private Bills were brought up by Sir JAllte GILMAN and other Members from the Commons, but it was nrauy mi nutes before this proceeding was at all practicable, so immento, beyond all former precedent within our recollection, vra the crowd of strangers who had obtained admission below the Bar. 'the greatest personal inconvenience was necessarily experienced, and much noise, irregularity, and confusion prevailed below the Bar, which prevented those intent on the business of the House from hearing, or even collecting with any tolerable degree or ac curacy what passed among their I.ordships. The difficulty of making way for the Members of the Corn- , mons to approach the Bar was so great, as to induce the Loan Caancettoa to observe interrogatively to the House—t' Is it to be endured, my Lords, that when the Commons come up to present Bills to the House, that they shall be so obstructed by ,the crowds below the Bar ?" A short conversation ensued lsetween Lord Renasnate and the F.arl of MOIMA, on the subject of Insolvent Debtors, but from the above causes we were Unable to collect its purport or tendency. The Earl of LAUDERDALE shortly called the attention of the House to a circumstance which be 'deemed of the utmost importance, and respecting which rumours were circulating throughout the kingdom—he meant that a regular course of trade between this country and France was about to be authorised; respecting this he thought that it was incumbent on Noble Lords opposite to give some explanation, and be announced his inten tion of bringing forward some further specific motions tending to illustrate the commercial relations of the country under its pre sent critical circumstances. Eart BATlitlitsT said a few words in reply, and stated that irangement. He was also credibly, he believed, in.
