General MA I'HEW said, that if so HonourAle Baronet (Sir 1. Hippesley) persisted in his determination to move for a Sdect liOtaroittee upon the Catholic Claims, he sht.utJ feel it Lit duty to take the sense of the House upon it, as h conceived such a mode of proceeding extremely prejudicial to the Catholic in terests. Sir I. C.

Mr. I.ASCELLES 'reported (as Chz.'rman niche Committee •appointed to inquire into the merits of the Petition, complaining of an undue election for the Borough of Youglial), that the Sit ting Member, 4ir John .

' Lord A. HAMILTON gave notice that he would on that day se'nnight, move that the remainder of time evidence given before the Wepaouth Election Committee should be printed. SIR JOHN AND LADY DOUGLAS. Mr. WHITBREAD rose and said, that, within a short time, a Gentleman had• put into his hand a Petition, which he requested him to present to the House ; and that, on reading it over, and finding in k no langi.age inconsistent or unbecoming in a Peti tion addressed to the House of Commons, he had felt it his bounden duty to undertake the charge of presenting it. The Petition was from Major-Gene ral Sir John Douglas, on behalf of himself and Char lotte Lady Douglas, his wife; and it was signed by both—a circumstance which he pointed out to the Gentleman that handed it to him as irregular.—He hoped, however, that, in a case of an extraordinary nature, the House would not consider this infor mality as an impediment to its being received, if there should exist no other objection. He now , begged leave to move, that the Petition be brought up and read. The SPEAKER having put the question, and no opposition being made, the following Petition was brought up and read : " To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kirgdom of Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament assembled. " The Humble Petition of Major-General Sir JOUN DOUGLAS and CHARLOTTE his Lady, SIIRWITiI-That your Petitioners having been advised the Depositions which they made upon their oaths before the Lords Commissioners appointed by his Majesty on or about the is: day of June, 1806, on an investigation of the Conduct of her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales, were not made in such a Judicial proceeding, or before such a tribunal as will legally support an indictment of your Petitioners for perjury, it the said Depositions are raise: " That ) our Petitioners feeling the fullest confidence in the justice of their cause, and that their said Depositions contain nothing but the truth, are ready and desirous, and hereby offer to re-swear to the truth thereot before any tribunal competent to administer an oath, which will subject your Petitioners to the penalties of perjury if untrue " Your I'. titioners therefore most humbly pray, that your Honourable House w.ll be pleased to take any proci edings which in your wisdom may seen) proper, for re-swraring your Peti tioners before such tribunal, as it Their Depositions are false they may be legally sob), et to ari indictment for perjury, it being your Petitioners anxious wish and desire not to shelter them selves under any want of legal forms. (Signed) " joint boucr..ss, " On behalf of himself and Cl.atlotte his Lady." The Petition was ordered to lie on the table. PRINCESS OF WALES. Mr. WHITBREAD then rose and said, that at the time he proposed certain questions to the Noble Lord who was one rd his Majesty's Principal Secre taries of State, which questions that Noble Lord had not thought proper to answer, he then stated to the House those reasons which he was now ready to re state with perfect sincerity; but before he sat down he should shew, by internal evidence, that upon the discussion. which took place on the Friday preceding the last, he had hoped that an'end wouldithen be put to the unpleasant and painful oircumstances from JOHN-STREET, BED,F011):116*: - - .

Mr. John Ewart,of KiliCingtoo-ball, will send a per son to shew the nrm . . PkICB %CORN CS-BlALrptNi4t6. . . ---- -.--- Which that distussitin had twiginstdd, 16 had sfateci . towards the conclusion of that debate, that from w! at fell front the Noble Lori (Cas:lereagh), frohi bis Majesty's Attorney-General, front anathar Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr; C •nnieg), ani generaily front • those persons best qualified to speak to the beti - tt, he thotight that her. Royal Highness the Princess of Wales might be considered as having receited -a 'vers dict.of acquittal. At no time was he c mifi Jett cf being petfectly. correct -in repeating what fell frog other Gentlemen, but from the peculiar n .tore of the Noble Lord's elocution, it perhaps was more difficult . to understand his meaning than that of persons Who were more precise. He thought, however, as well as he could understand the N able Lord's expressions that he said that the Princess of Wales was, by the Cabinet of 18ff1, acquitted• of all imputation of crime winnevero-'-(Lon3 cries • Of Rear, hear ).—lic had since been. inf,;tnied, notwithstanding, that tee Noble Lord bad a dded. a word . which escaped him ; (Mr. Whitbread)", and said, that her Royal High. ness ryas acquitted from ail 481 criminality.—oaa • However the Moak Lard might have qualified his • 'expression, lie did think, that as far as ihat ['tome*: could pronounce the guilt or innocence of the Prin. - cess (not being, certainly, the proper tribunal), 4 '. 1 verdict of accnintal- had been given—that 'verdict it , acquittal was recorded, ton, in the Cabinet Minute .' ! which he had rot introduced with any improper in- : tention. From this, and from all that had b•en said • ' by everriadividual in that House, it app ared to him then, and it appeared still, that as complete * verdict of acquittal had been pronounced from all criminalhy as it waein the power of words so convey. . ; So had he bcea impressed, and under that impreision 1 he had thought, that gotwithstendeig the unhappy • differences which had se long subsisted, the tone might soon come, when by the interposition of itidia ' cious advisers ; by submission and conciliation on the one part, and by kindness and indulgence on the other, an end might at length be put to the painful circumstances winch had hitherto preventid the re• storation of harmony. He had hoped that the pub. lic feelings, so long outraged and lacerated, might be soothed and appeased. But he was told, on put. • ting those questions to the Noble Lord, that though i he would not givean answer then—he would be pre. ~ pared to do so on a future occasion. He now asked him, therefore, whether it was true that those pet- 1 sons whom he had stigmatised as perjured and de. , graded witnesses, had been since re-examined as cre dible witneves ? He (Mr. W.) had been tcfal by Major-General Sir John Douglas, th t from the 12th of February, down to the very day on which di! de• hate heti taken place (the sth of March), that fresh 1 examinetions had taken place, and that Lady Done j glas had been examined as a competent and credi. " ble witness. Sir John Douglas further produced_ a ' letter from Mr. Conant, the Magistrate, !trite-sting the attendenc^ of Lardy Douglas, 1,-r the purpose of teeing examined, or stating his readiness to attend her for that purpose. The examination had been subse quently carried on by Mr. Litchfield, the SOlteiter 1 for the Treasury, in the presence of Mr. Conant, and . f he knew not but there might hare been some other person or persons present. He was therefore under the infatuation of supposing that Ministers had set on foot an examination of that very person who had -. been so described by the Noble Lord, and when Le 1 (Mr. W.).naturally asked, what could be the mean- i ing of all he heard, he saw an account in the Daily Papers, of Sir John_Daugles having waited on the i Noble Lord for an explanation ; that Gentleman a stated the peculiar hardship of his case, and inquiring with 'respect to the expressions made use of, the Noble Lord denied any knowledge of any proceedings, upon ! which Sir John Douglas said, "if your Lordship I knows nothing about them, the Lord Chancellor , doei!" How then did the case stand ? Were the per• sons forming the Administration no longer acting in concert ? Was one part carrying on secret examinations to the exclusion of the other ? Did the right hand not know what the left hand was doing ? Or did Lord Eldon lend himself to this new examination ? • (Hear, hear.) Sir John Douglas then said, that he must have redress ; that he and Lady Douglas knew more, much mote, than they ',ad yet discrosed ; and Cett he (Sir John) was determined to do, himself jus- 1 ' tice. He (Mr. Whitbread) then told him, that he . was sure no• Member of that House would ail so far in his duty, as to refuse to present, Iris petition. When, , therefore, he had such knowledge, that the Delicate . Investigation, as it was falsely called, was not esleep -when he daily saw the most indecent and nausea. ting exposures offered to, the publx—wheft a new ex. amination was carrying on, under the high author ity of the Lord Chancellor of England, he knew-that a crisis was come—that some step mu.-t be taken, and however inclined he might he to Advise an address, he knew that it was utterly impossible that such ad. vice would be given ; but he he ird more—he had heard that there had been examinations since the Lth of March a that agents were at work ; that solicit' 7 s were employed ; and that in every grovelling conar of the metropolis, where it was- supposed, that eta"! testimony could be gathered, for the purpose of c, t 1 minatung the Princess, a search n•as made. .Wese these transactions currying on with or without tie concurrence of the Noble Lord ? Did he know that they were carrying on ? Had the Lord Chancellor ary part in them ? (Hear, hear.) Or ssere there any secret advisers—(Near, hear) -any perv.:ns ;'ne known to the Constitution and to the Cabinet . Minis. ters ? and if so, .would it not be the duty of the Noble Lord to inform the House and the Prince Re, gent of the discovery cf such a circumstance ? On WAS it not in the option of any man to refuse to serve a person who Was secretly served by others ? After the lapse of a week from the debate to which he h a d before alluded, the evidence which had been so Masi ted came forth sim u l taneous ly i n two papevs—thossi papers were 27te Morning Fen and The Morn* .ffera! —and if he was not much mistaken, the Noble Lor appeared to justify the publication as a consequent of the Minute of Cebirr, which, he said, he (W.
