At the Court at Cariton-Huse, the 23& of June, 1811, Present, His Royal Highness the PRINCL itscasyr in Connell. • Whereas his Royal Highness the Parma REGENT was pleased to declare, in the name and on the be. half of his Majesty, on the 21st &y of April 1812, 44 That if at any time hereafter the Berlin and Milan • Decrees shall, by some authentic •act of the French Government, publicly promulgated, be absolutely and unconditionally repealed, then and from thence. forth the Order in Council of the 7th of January, 1807, and the Order in Council of the 26th of April, 1809, shall, without any further Order, be, and the same are hereby declared from thenceforth to be wholly and. absolutely revoked :". And whereas the Charge des Affaires of the United States of America, Resident at this Court, did, on the 20th day of May last, transmit to Lord Viscount Castlereagh, one of his Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State, a Copy of a certain Instrument, 'then for the first time communicated to this Court, purporting to be a Decree passed by the Govern- went of France, on the 28th day of April, 1811, by • ' which the Decrees of Berlin and Milan are declared to be definitely no longer in force, in regard to Ame rican vessels. And whereas his Royal Highness the Prince Re gent, although he cannot consider the tenor of the said Instrument as satisfying the cond: as set forth in the said O:dcr of the 21st of April last, upon which the said Orders were to cease and determine ; is nevertheless disposed on his part to take such mea sures as may tend to re-establish the intercourse be tween Neutral and Belligerent Nations, upon its ac customed principles—his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, in the name and on the behalf of his Ma jesty, is therefore pleased, by and with the advice of his Mojesty's Privy Council, to order and declare, and it is hereby order,d and declared,, that the Order itr Council bearing dAte the 7th day of January, 1807, And the Order in Council bearing date the 26th day of April, 1809, be revoked, so far as may regard - Americad vessels, and their cargoes being American prope4ty, from the Ist day of August nest. But whereas by certain Acts of the Government of the United States of America, all British armed vessels are excluded from the harbours and waters of 'the said United States, the anned vessels of France being permitted to enter therein ; and the commer ciaHlttercourse between Great Britain and the said United States is interdicted, the commercial inter course betvhen France and the said United States having been restored ; his Royal Highness the Prince Regent is pleased hereby further to declare, in the name and on the heh.tlf of his Majesty, that if the GovernMent of the said United States shall not, as soon as may be, alter this Order shall have been duly notified by his Majesty's Minister in America to the - maid Government, revoke, or cause to be revoked, the said Acts, this present Order shall in that case, after due notice signified by his Majesty's Minister in America to the said Government, be thenceforth null and of no effect. It is further ordered and declared, that all Ameri-' can vessels, and their cargoes being American pro perty, that shall have been captured subsequzztly to the 20th day of May last, for a breach of the afore said Orders in Council alone, and which shall not Dave been actually condemned before the date of this Order; and that all Ships and Cargoes as aforesaid, that shall henceforth be captured under the said Or ders, prior to the Ist day of August next, shall not be proceeded against to condemnation till further or ders, but shall, in the event of this Order not be- -- coining null and of no effect, in the case aforesaid, be forthwith liberated and restored, subject to such rea. sonable expences on the part of the captors as shall have been justly incurred. Provided that nothing in this Order contained, re specting the Revocation of the Orders herein-men tioned, shall ke taken to revive *holly or in _part the Orders in Council of the 11th of November, 18r7, or any other Order not herein.rnentioned, or to deprive! Parties of any legal remedy to which they may be entitled under the order. in Cotincil of the 21st of April, 1812. - ' His Royal Highness the Prince Regent is hereby pleased further to declare, in the name and on the be= half of his Majesty, that nothing in this present Or. der contained, shall be understood to preclude his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, if circumstances shall so require, from restoring, offer reasonable notice, the Orders of the 7th of January, 1807, and 26th of April, 1809, or any part thereof, to their full effect, or from taking such or other measures of reta liation against the enemy, as may appear to his Royal .Bighaess to be just and necessary.

" r.4"virruw. - • • - • .. a view to the adoption of such conciliatory measures as would give peace and security to the empire, ought to form the basis of any Administration that his Royal Highness might think proper to call to his Councils. I should have wished, my Lords, to have proceeded to this consideration, even in the present session ; but it does not appear to me that this can now be effectually done. Nothing, therefore, remains, but to take such steps towards the accomplishment of so desirable an object, as circumstances would per mit; and it is upon this ground that I have determin ed to call upon your Lordships now to pass a resolu tion, pledging yourselves to take this question into consideration, at an early period of the next session; and pledging yourselves not only to take the subject into consideration, but also defining distinctly that this consideration is to be with a view to the adoption of suck measures as may at the same time conciliate his Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects, and provide for the security of the Protestant Establishment ; so as to extinguish animosity, and promote concord and unanimity, among all classes of the community. t Notwithstanding the repeated discussions of this 1 question which have taken place, and the advanced state of the sessirn, such is the importance of this sub , ject, that I should propo s e ra th er a di stant d ay f or ' bringing forward this resolution. Some day next week might, perhaps, be convenient for this purpose ; and I should therefore suggest Wednesday se'nnight. Earl GREY.—My conduct, my Lords, in regard to this question is too well known to make it neces. sary for me to say, that when th e reso l ut i on o f w hi c h notice has now been given, is brought forward, it I shall meet with my most cordial and zealous support. 1 Twice in the present Session—repeatedly in former Sessions—have I contended to the best of my ability that it was both just and expedi ent t h at you s h ou ld I go to the full extent of the relief claimed by his Ma -1 Jesty's Roman Catholic subjects. I cannot help con . gratulating the country—l cannot help congratulat- I mg myself—that th;s question will now be submitted to your Lordships' a tension under new and happier auspices, and with brighter prospects of success.— your Lordships must recollect what were the conse quences of proposing to extend a small favour to the Roman Catholics—for it was called, and justly call ed, only a little concession in the Mutiny Bill. Your Lordships must recollect the circumstances under which the present Parliament was chosen. It was exactly five years yesterday since this Parliament i first assembled. On the 22.1 of June, 1807, the Par ' liament met, after having been elected amidst the clamours of 44 No Popery." Earl of BUCKINGHAMSH IRE.—I reallymust call the Noble Lord to order. A notice of motion is given, and when the motion is brought forward, then will be the time for the Noble Lord to deliver his sentiments on this subject. The Noble Lord, how ever, is utterly passing the limits usually allowed on a notice, and is proceeding to discuss the subject as ► if the motion were actually made. This, my Lords, I apprehend is altogether irregular. Earl GREY.—I intended to have troubled your Lordships with only a very few observations at pre sent. Perhaps, however, they may be as well reserv. ed for the day on which the discussion shall regu larly come on. Bot I had only to move that the Lords be summoned for that day, and then I might have pro ceeded in a perfectly regular way. I must say, how. ever, that if I was out of order, the Noble Marquis who gave the notice must also have been out of or der. In a question of this importance, perhaps a rigid adherence to regularity might for once have been dispensed with. The Marquis WELLESLEY.-Isty Lords, if I have been out of order, my apology is, that I have been so with the sanction of the Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack:—( hear, hear.) Lord REDESDALE.—The Noble and Learned Lord on theWooliack stated, that there was another question then before the House, but that, for the convenience of the House, the notice Of the Noble Marquis might, notwithstanding, be given. Marquis WELLESLEY—I consulted the Noble Lord on the Woolsack before I gave my notice. He informed me, that there was a question then befors the H9use (a question respecting the appeal, Water. park and Austin) and that it would be irregular to give the notice ; but that fo r th e conven i ence of the House, the irregularity would be passed over. I ray again, therefore, that if I was out of order, it was with the sanction of the Le arne d L or d on the wool sack. I did not, that I am aware of, exceed the usual limits allowed in giving notices. I entered into no discussion, bin stated, as I conceived I had a right to do, the precise object of the Resolution to which I intended to call your •Lordships' attention. If I have exceeded the usual limits allowed in such cases, 1 hope the Noble and Learned Lord will give the pro per explanation, and state in, what respects I have overstepped the ordinary bounds. LORD CHANCELLOR—eI shah certainly not be so irregular as to enter into any such explanation, these bigotted clamours, this Parliament was chosen; and met for the first time on the 22d of June, 1807. While I congratulate my country, then, on the prospect of at length accomplishing a measure which Ipromises to be attended with so much national vantage, I must say that it is matter of congratula tion to myself, that on the anniversary of the first meeting of this Parliament, tlecicd under the cis-. cumstances which I have mentioned, a resolution has been proposed to this same Parliament, going the./ full length of Catholic concession by one of those who under such circumstances came into oilice ; and that this resolution has been carried by a large ma jority. This, my Lords, is not only matter of con gratulation to me, in regard to the past, but of en-, couragement for thc future. It is an encouragement: to me to persevere in that line of conduct. which my sense of duty, and the view of the interests of my country point out as most proper for me to follow—, however my motives may be mi sre p r esented, and to whatever obltquy I may for the moment be subject ed—convinced, that sooner or later my motives and principles, the objects which I have in view, and the measures which I recommend, will be duly appre ciated. It is my anxious desire, that we could im mediately enter upon the consideration of this ques tion ; but I doubt it is impossible to do so in the present sessicn. I trust, however, it will be con sidered early in the nest session, with a view to put an end to the political disabilities of all desca tions of Dissenters from the Est a blished en as far as is consistent with the safety of the Cos- . stitution. There is not a man in the kingdom who is a greater friend to the Protestant Establishment, than he who now addresses you ; but the more I .consider this question, the less value I have for some of the securities about which so much has been said on former occasions. The best security tor the Protestant establishment, as well as for the empire at large, is to put an end to those animosities and dis cords which have been, and are, such a source of national weakness, ata time when we have so much occasion for our utmost strength. Any reasonable security, however, I should vote for ; but I trust this measure will not be clogged with limitations and conditions that may serve to render it altogether nugatory, or in a great degree defeat its object, and prevent the good effects which mast otherwise se suit Goat its adoption. (Hear, bear.) I again con gratulate the House, and the country, on the brighter prospect of a final and satisfactory adjustment of this great and important question ; and have only to re peat, that the intended resolution shall have my cor dial and zealous support. Earl STANHOPE observed, that he would, in two days, fix a day for the second reading of the Dissen ters' Bill. He wished the second reading to be post , pond till after the discussion of the Noble Marquis's Resolution. But he trusted, that eve.t those wh, resisted the granting of political power to the Ca tholics, would not support persecution. The Duke of NORFOLK expressed his regret that it was not intended immediately to take the subject of the Catholic claim into consideration ; and saia, that when the Resolution came to be discussed, he should urge the necessity of applying themselves, without delay, to the consideration of the laws against the Catholics, especially after the manner in which the subject had been treated at the Aggregate Meet ing of the Irish Catholics. Earl DARNLEY said, he would support the re solution ; and asked the Noble Lord behind him (Grosvenor) whether he intended to bring forward his motion on the State of the Nation ? Earl GROSVENOR replied, that under the pre sent circumstances, he did not think it necessary to persevere in his intention to submit that motion to the House. Wednesday se'nnight was then fixed for bringing forward the resolution ; and the Lords were ordered to be summoned for that day. The House then went into a committee on the Curates' Bill, where it underwent considerable dis cussion.—Adjourned. - MAIL 'COACH mamma DILL. On the motion that the Report be taken into fanher denial, Mr. BA.NICES proposed an amendment, pottponiag kI N three months.
