The House was this day crowded by persons anxious to witness the proceedings upon an important Message from his Majesty. The Duke of WELLINGTON, after a communication with Sir Robert Peel at the bar of the house, returned to his seat. The Noble Duke then said—My Lords, I hold in my hand a Message, which I present by his Majesty's command. The LORD CHANCELLOR read the Message amidst profound lttention. " G.R. His Majesty thinks proper to inform the House of Lords that IL Majesty's continued severe illness renders it inconvenient to affix the sign manual to public documents , and his Majesty relies ,:pen the dutiful consideration of Parliament, and that they will concur, without delay, in providing the means by which his Majesty ntay be relieved from pain and inconvenience, and prevented from egiing with his own hand those public instruments which require the sign-manual, and without detriment to the public service. " G.R." The Message having been read again at the table by the clerk, The Duke of WELLINGTON said, " I consider it must be the snmous wish of your lordships to take the very earliest opportunity ni expressing to his Majesty, in answer to his message which I have jest communicated, the regret which I am convinced we all feel on the lamentable indisposition under which his Majesty has for some time suffered. 1 might appoint a future day to take this m .ft.sap consideration, but I ani convinced your lordships would be early at this moment to express to hie Majesty your sorrow for his illness, and your hope tar his Majesty's recovery. Advert ,ng to that part of the message which speaks of his Majesty's per. sera: inconvenience, I .am sure your lordships are desirous of Riving his Majesty relief from the pain and inconvenience his Ma ier? has to sustain in affixing his signature to documents, and I do apologise to your lordships for having taken this early oppor tunity of proposing to your lordships the -consideration of an ad dress. I will not take this opportunity of entering into discussion of the measure' by which his Majesty's servants propose that his Majesty may be able to carryinto execution the object he has in view. fiat will be stated by my noble friend on the woolsack to-morrow." Tit noble duke concluded by moving that an humble address be pre serted to his Majesty, to assure his Majesty that this house laments his Majesty is suffering indisposition, and to assure his Majesty that they unanimously hope, by the favour of divine Providence, his litjesty's health will be re-established; that this house will con rder, without delay, the means by which his Majesty may be re ;reved from signing those documents which require the sign ma nual. without detriment to the public service. The address having been read, Earl GREY said he did not rise with any intention to oppose the address. He concurred in common with all their lordships, in the expression of the deep feeling uttered by the noble duke, and in the . 1 9e of his majesty's recovery. He gave his assent to all the noble uldke had proposed. At the same time, their lordships must con ..der that they had an important duty to discharge to the country. lie could not avoid stating on this occasion, that this was a question of the utmost consequence, for what they were about to do was no- Iriing less than delegating the royal authority—(hear, bear;) and ulty must do it in a way that would not establish a precedent dan gerous to the future interests of the country. The noble earl called uPem their lordships to consider this as a most serious subject. %Vhat was tho course to be pursued he knew not ; but upon a mo. 1105 which came upon him so unexpectedly, he should say the Met step was, that they should appoint a committee to search tea r precedents of similar occasions. The noble earl recommended thug to do nothing from motives of zeal and affection to bis nujesty, unless they all felt the most perfect confidence that they were acting c onstitutionally and consistent with their duties. The address was then carried runs. die. Earl GREY asked when his majesty's message would be taken Imo consideration ? The Duke of WELLINGTON answered—To-morrow. Mr. HUME, and other members from the Commons, brought up the Dundee Harbour Bill and several private bills. Several petitions were then presented. 'INN PACIFICATION OF ORNECII.

N olorm rates oiv TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 25, 1830. PRICE 7n. of the great forbearance that house had evinced through the whole of these proceedings. The house had exercised a sound discretion ; for, undoubtedly, any premature discussion would have tended to make the negociation more difficult. His majesty's government, so far from taking advantage of this forbearance, had been most anxious to give all the information they could. It had been their wish to make the information as full anti complete as pos. Bible. He knew it was usual to talk of garbled extracts, but in the present instance the intention was to furnish the most complete body of information; and if on future consideration any further in formation should be thought necessary it would be laid before the house. It was not usual to give an analysis of papery but the noble earl begged permission to offer a few obs a ►atiau. The first class consisted of the protocols of conferences at which the Pleni potentiaries were present. They commenced the Gth of July 1827, and it was with great satisfaction he Informed their lord. ships, that the greatest unanimity prevailed upon the establishment' of a Greek government. The next portion contained the pro tocols and conferences of the Ambassadors of the three Powers with the Turkish Government subsequent to the treaty of July. That was an important part of the proceedings, because it was of a cha racter which led to relations with the Turkish Government. The next class consisted of papers explanatory of an event of great ins. penance in the course of the proceedings, as being the first step to wards the completion of the treaty for the evacuation of the Mores by the Egyptians. The noble Earl paid the highest tribute of praise to the gallant Admiral by whom the negociation was completed at Alexandria. The next part was the negociations upon a subject which excited great anxiety in this country, namely, the blockade of the Dardanelles. The conduct of the Russian Admiral on that oc casion was marked by the most impartial and honourable feeling towards the subjects of Great Britain. The Jut portion of the papers consisted of explanations upon the Greek blockades. On another matter of importance he should say, circumstances had recently occurred which entirely changed the character of the negociation. The object of the treaty of the 6th of July was, to secure the independenc e of Greece. The Allies gave the Sovereignty to Prince Leopold, and their choice was honourable to Great Britain. It was also intended as an honour to his Royal Highness, because It was understood to be an object of his ambition. The offer was made on the 3d of Feb. and up to nearly the present time, negociations had been going on with his Royal Highness on one point only, namely, pecuniary succour to Greece. This ques tion, averse as the Government must be to imposing additional bur thens on the public, had been conceded, rather than the hopes and expectations of a British Prince should be disappointed. Fresh grounds, however, for negociation had occurred; and on Friday night he received from his Royal Highness a notification of his intention to renounce the high situation offered him. Their lord , ships would have before them, as early as possible, the papers on the subject, and they would be enabled to form thei r judgment on the question. It would be dissimulation on his part to deny, that the termination of the negotiation in the way it had terminated had not occasioned some difficulty ; but the noble earl had the consols. tion to state, that it would not produce any change in the intention of the Allied Powers with respect to the independence of Greece. Lord DURHAM protested against the course taken by the noble earl. The noble earl should not have made any statement to pre judice Prince Leopold before the papers were before the house. Earl DARNLEY asked when the papers relating to the negotia tion with Prince Leopold were to be laid on the table ? The noble earl Implored the house to do justice to his Royal Highness and suspend their judgment. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said his Royal High. ness had not received much respect from those with whom he had been in negociation. The Prince had accepted an Independent sovereignty—but was it an independent sovereignty the allies Lad offered to him ? The state of Greece would be ultimately grasped lby Russia, as she had seized Poland; and the noble marquis did not think his Royal Highness did wrong in refusing to govern a kingdom which would not be an independent state. He should like to know whether the noble earl would give the whole of the nor. respondence ? The Earl of ABERDEEN said, the noble marquis should have papers to his heart's content—not a paper should be kept back. The Marquis of LANSDOWN deprecated any anticipation of the question • but he was desirous of asking, whether the non-ad hesion expre ssed by Prince Leopold on Friday last was connected with a money question, or whether it was not occasioned by another view taken by his royal highness? The Earl of ABERDEEN said, before his royal highness gave his adhesion, a discussion from the 20th of February, up to the last week, involvid no question but a money transaction. LW week a new objection occurred, but he could not then enter upon it. Lord DARNLEY repeated his question, namely_" when will the papers be laid on the table ?" The Earl of ABERDEEN said, Friday, If possible. The Earl of WINCHILSEA expressed an opinion that the illus. trious person had not been fairly treated. No statement should have been made before the papers were on the table. 'The Marquis of BUTE said, his noble friend bad done justice to the illustrious person by calling upon their lordships to suspend their judgment till the papers were laid on the table. Earl GREY spoke of the impropriety of making partial produc. dons of these papers ; production ought to have been withheld until the whole bad been prepared ; the e.r.parte statements made by the e noble earl (Aberdeen) were calculated to raise very serious charges against the character of Prince Leopold ; and nothing but the production of the papers still promised by the noble earl could do away with such charges. (Hear, hear, hear.) It was very possible that his Royal Highness might have had ample cause within a short time back to relinquish all idea of going to Greece as the sovereign of that country. He (Earl Grey) would take the liberty of asking the noble Secretary for Foreign Affairs, if, when be produced the additional papers, he meant to accompany them with any motion on the subject of Greece. The Earl of ABERDEEN said he certainly had no intention of bringing any motion whatever before the house in connection with the papers he should, on a future day, produce. Lord HOLLAND said that perhaps the noble earl had aomemo. Lion to bring forward now. Earl of ABERDEEN—Certainly not. The papers were then laid on the table. wawa DUTIZI. The Marquis of LANSDOWN asked the noble duke at the head of the administration, if he would have any objection to lay before the house, the orders , warranties, and other papers relative to the re mission f the 44 per cent. duties on 'nu ? The Duke of WELLINGTON said be should have no objection whatever. The Marquis of LANSDOWN then gave notice that on to. morrow (this day) he should move for the production of the above. named parties. Mr. O'CONNELL presented a petition complaining of police men wbo had fired at one of tour men who refused to stand, and killed him. The inquest returned a verdict of guilty. The affair happened in Clare.—Ordered to lie on the table.—Be moved for copies of all written instructions given to the constabulary force in Clare, relative to the performance of night-duty. Mr. BERRIES suggested the propriv of withdrawing it till the noble lord (Gower) wu present. Mr. O'CONNELL gave notice of the motion for to-morrow. He then presented a petition from Butlers Town, Kilkenny, the pa rish of ---, in Cork, Glenmore, &c. against the Vestry Act. 111111ACH OF PRIVILLOE. ' Mr. R. GORDON said, he had a petition from William Clifford, (who threw the pamphlets Into the house on Saturday, but instead of presenting it he would move that the individual be discharged out of custody. He was labouring under incotrect views, and was an object of mercy..—dlotion agreed to. Mr. DENISON presented • petition from Godalming, u to an hpproved method of assevaing for the poor-rates ; and one from tbaiberwell, against punishment tif death for forgery. Sir 11. 8.

Mr. Sheriff Richardson presented a paid= from the Comma Council of London, against the Scotch and Irish paupers removal bill Mr. Alderman WOOD had hoped that the bill would have been withdrawn... He trusted that the burdens of pa rishes would not be increased ; they were already heavy eno u gh ; had that day signed SOO summonses for one parish, for arrears of poor rates. Sir J.

Mr. BANKES presented a petition from Shaeborne, against the Sale of Bea Bill.

PEEL appeared at the bar with a message from his Ma. jesty, which was read, and was to the following effect : 66 GEORGE R. " His Majesty thinks it necessary to Inform the House of Corn. moos that his Majesty is labouring under severe indisposition, which renders it inconvenient and painful to his Majesty to sign, with his own hand, those public instruments which require the sign manual. His Majesty relies upon the dutiful attachment of Par. liament to consider, without delay, the means by which his Majesty may be enabled to provide fur the temporary discharge of those im. portant functions of the Crown, without detriment to the public se:. vice. G. R." • Sir B. PEEL said, he proposed immediately to move an Ad. dress on this Message, expressing the deep regret of the house at the indisposition of his Majesty, lamenting the continued illness, and praying that his Majesty might be speedily restored to health. Also stating, that the house would forthwith comply with the re. quest of the Message. It would be unnecessary to move that the house should resolve into a Committee on the Message, because the bill contemplated by the Message would originate in the other house. He concluded with moving an Address on the Message ac. cortUngly, assuring his Majesty that the house would take the subject of the Message into the earliest consideration that the house regretted his Majesty laboured under severe indisposition, &c. Mr. BROUGHAM said, the question was of great importance, and the more especially so, as the bill contemplated was wholly un. precadented. It would be of the utmost consequence to proceed with all possible caution, and to guard against the measure being drawn into precedent, except where the necessity should be plain and distinct. It would be incumbent on them to guard most ecru. pulonsly against adopting that course which might hereafter open the door to an abuse of the most serious character. The Address was then agreed to nem. con. GREECE-PRINCE LEOPOLD. Sir R. PEEL then presented, by command of his Majesty, a se. ries of papers relative to the affairs of Greece. As the series was not easnplete, and as ample opportunities would arise for discussing them, be trusted he should be excused for not entering into details re. their contents, and that the house would abstain from dia. cuss* till they bed all the papers, and were acquainted with their contests. The papas which he now presented formed three aeries--Protocols and documents, down to the 14th instant, relative to the conferences at St. Petersburg, ste.secondly, at Constantinople ; and thirdly, at Alexandria. The papers which he should have to present, regarded more particularly conferences and negotiations with Prince Leopold, relative to the sovereignty of Orme. Prince Leopold, he had to state, bad relinquished all Ma of assuming the trust proposed to be reposed in his Royal Highness. The papers on this part of the subject he understood be should be enabled to present in two or three days ; till then, he repeated, he trusted the house would agree with him in the propriety of abstaining from all comment. Mr. BROUGHAM said, he should abstain from any remark, after what had been observed, and as there would be abundant op. portunities. Mr. HUME asked whether it would appear, from these papers, what were the pecuniary obligations imposed on this country P Lord J. RUSSELL said, it would be satisfactory to know the cause of the unfortunate termination of the negotiations with Prince Leopold P Was it occasioned by differences amongst the allied sove reigns, or was the question of territory or money the cause of it ? Sir R. PEEL trusted that remarks would be abstained from till all the papers were before the House. The two questions that had been put to him he, however, would answer. As to the first question, the papas which be had to present contained the details contemplated by the hon. member for Montrose. As to the second question, it would be recollected that when, on a former day, he was a ll uding to this subject, be intimated that Prince Leopold had intimated his acquiescence in the acceptance of the Sovereignty of Greece, but that there were some matters still pending. lie meant that they were of a pecuniary nature only ; but since then, the dif. ferenees were not limited to pecuniary means, but were mixed up with other considerations which had not previously arisen. Mr. AGAR ELLIS said it would be satisfactory to know, and I r it might now be stated, whether the Prince's relinquishment resulted from the refusal of any loan ? Sir R. PEEL replied that the papas would be ready, be doubted not, in twenty-four hours ; and he was therefore anxious, in justice I to the subject, and to all the parties concerned, to abstain from dis cussion till all the papers were before them. He might remark that despatches recently remised were amongst the grounds of the refusal. Mr. BROUGHAM replied, that he by no means looked upon the result as unfortunate. He was ready to pay all just compliment to the qualities of the illustrious individual who had been so intimately concerned in these negotiations, and whose relinquishment of the proposed sovereignty was now the subject of remark; but the result, he thought, was an excellent thing for this country. He considered it an excellent thing to have escaped from the entanglement of such a connexion. Sir R. PEEI, again expressed the hope that remarks on the sub. jest might be delayed, till all the papers were before the house. Papas ordered to be printed. CAPE OP GOOD ROPE. Mr. BROUGHAM presented a petition from colonists at the Cape of Good Hope, praying that • representative government might be extended to them. He was rejoiced that they evinced an attachment to the institutions of the mother country. Compliance with the prayer would prevent the recurrence of evils that had hap. paned at Cape • thereby would be secured the advantage and tranquillity of the Ca Sir GEORGE MURRAY feared that compliance with the prayer of the petition was at present impracticable, the population being thin, scattered, and mixed with the Dutch, and many slaves. It was to be apprehended that the King's Government in such case would find itself much thwarted he felt persuaded that, mixed as the population was with slavery, the compliance with the prayer of the petition was not beneficially practicable. Mr. bIARRYATT said that a representadve government was the only one which would ease the country of the present expensive gaieties and officers. Mr. W. SMITH said, that in all that was stated, there was one material omission ; it had not been communicated where the mate. dale of a representative government were to be obtained. Mr. LABOUCHERE recommended that all appointments in the colonies should be gasetted--that would prevent great abuses. Mr. HUME lamented that the right iron. secretary should have used such language as he had. According to that language, where there were slaves the benefits of the British constitution were not to' be extended. When would a colony be ready fee such govern ment as was possessed in this country ? Wades were ready to pay their Own expenses, and to manage their own allies :the right hen. gentleman's resistance was a libel en the colonists. Dr. LUSHINOTON concurred in the sentiment of the right bon. Sanisay, that the Cape was not in a condition to enjoy a reprw eintetha govanunent.Sea lens ea shwerLeentinsol, be would te flon It Mail 181161110 1119 wiselse.

PVIIIIONSINT ow 111111111 POO rowssar. Mr. BROUGRAII presented petitions hem Newport, Isle el wCb N O . 13,483. !maw , Wight, from Stockton-upon-Tces, Wakefield, and Craven, orbit the punishment of death foe forgery. Also a similar petition from the bankers of no less than 214 cities and towns in the kingdom. It wee signed by 1,000 bankers, and was in his opinion decisive as to the point, whether the punishment of death sh ou ld or s h oul d not be abolished in eases of torgery. A great many junior partners of firms declined to sign the petition from motives of delicacy to senior part ners who had refused to do so. Others had declined it because they had signed similar petitions before, and they thought it, therefore, unfair to make their names tell twice. Others also had declined because they thought the case so clear as to require no petitions to support it. Mr. Secretary PEEL &aid, he should, in the course of the even. ing, state why he thought the punishment of death should not be wholly abolished, and lie would therefore make no observation upon the petition. The hon. gentleman then presented the following petition:— " To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament assembled.

" That your Petitioners, therefore, earnestly pray that your Ho nourable House will not withhold from them that protection to their property, which they could derive from a more lenient law." Dr. LUSHINGTON presented similar petitions from Bristol, Spelding, and various other places. Mr. LEONARD presented nine similar petitions from Mahlon, Coggleshall, Wellington, the Quakers of Manchester, and four other Mr. BENETT presented a petition from Bradford against t!.c truck system. Mr. PROTHEROE presented a petition from Leith, against the punishment of death for forgery. Mr. PENDARVIS presented a similar petition from Redrutli. CROWN SUGARS. Mr. HUME moved for a return of a copy of the amount of sugars chargeable with the four and a half per cent, duty, (and the au thority by which the sugar, the property of the aown, had that duty remitted) for the last ten years. Sir J. GRAHAM seconded the motion, and said the hon. men:. ber for Aberdeen deserved great credit for his vigilance and perse. ITTIIIICC, in thus endeavouring to prevent Ministers from keeping up a fund for the payment of pensions, indepndent of the control or Parliament. Unless ministers would ple dge themselves to bring in a bill to aboli.h this privilege of importing goods for s a le with out payment of duty, he should - take the sense of the house upon the subject. If the hon. member for Aberdeen would entrust him with It he would do his utmost, but if not be would do his utmost to sup port him. This he would do the fiat time the house was called upon to go intosCommittee of Supply. Mr. HUDIE, in moving for other returns connected with the same subject, said he would gladly consign the matter to his hon. friend, to whom be felt indebted, for really his hands were so full that be could scarcely attend to every thing.—(A laugh.) Mr. F. BUXTON presented several petiticas from various towns against the punishment of death for forgery. SUPPLY. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the order of the day for the house resolving itself into a committee of supply. Jo answer to a question Irolll Sir JAMES Ottairax, Mr. Secretary PEEL said, that on Friday next he should mom that the house should adjourn until the Thursday following. Sir &WILSON, in reference to the debate on the affairs of Mex ico, which took place on Friday last, said, that he had several docu ntents which he should produce to the house, which, though they did not contravene the tone held by Mr. Canning, yet he thought they would go so far as to induce the right honourable gentleman opposite to perceive that there was good ground for affording protec tion to the South American states. The papers were from the Chancery Archives in Mexico, and they showed that the Se nate bad actually withdrawn from the executive the authority to in vade Cuba, solely from an apprehension that by giving offence to England, it might lead to great embarrassment. Mr. Canning object d to an expedition formed principally of blacks, under the Impression that it would lead to an insurrection amongst the blacks at Cubs, to massacre the whites. This was tantamount to the prohibition of the expedition, for the expedition could no t b e fined out from Mexico, unles s the greater part of ft were composed of blacks. At that time Cuba had only 1,400 European troops, all dbaf. fated, and had only one ship.of-war, so that there could have been little doubt of the success of the expedition, which was prevented from sailing, solely because of the apprehended displeasure of this country. It was true that they were subsequehtly undeceived, and informed, that they might attack either Cuba or Porto Rico; but this came too late—circtrastances were changed, and it was no longer practicable. The boo. member quoted edict papers to chew, not only that the impression that England wouli be displeased at the expedition which pervaded the minds of t h e authorities in South America, but that the British Minister, at Mexico, also eatertained the same idea. Under these circumstances be thought those states had a claim upon the promotion of this country, and be took that opportunity of placing the matter fairly before the house. Mr. PLANTA said he could not call to his mind any one sir. cumstance that passed in reference to these states which could lead to the impression which the hon. member represented to be enter. tamed in that hemisphere. Mr. Secretary PEEL said he regretted that Colombia and Mex. leo were thus endeavouring to fasten a defensive alliance upon this country without the slightest ground for doing so. He could not see the necessity of reviving the discussions upon this subject, but since the former debate he had referred to the correspondence with the British Minister at Mesita), and from that correspondence he could gather no sort of clue which could lead him to sup. pew that any interdict was ever given against an invasion of Cuba by Mexico. Mr. Coming, it was true, might have pro. tested against the proclamation of General Santa Anna, who called upon the black slaves to the against their masters. Had be Jesse so, he would have been justilled hi doing so, and that without incurring any obligation to protect the South American states from Spain. This country bad colonies with slaves in the neighbourhood of Cubs, and she could not see such a proclamation issued with in. difference. She had aright to protest against it, and that without incurring any respeadMiity or oblivion whatever.
