Now, however, they were told o ; , ut i; wonld take up a considerable time, and was by no means, to he easily disposed of.' Why net a si :scitic sum on the aggregate fund, on t'..;s as on all fcanwr occasions? What objection was there to it? The Lord said, there would be an inconve. D i e co. but the whole business might be gone thro h before Parliament was dissolved. Why not do s. , ' It was. indeed, said to be inconvenient to Gentlemen to leave the country at this time, but in the month of May it would be no less inconvenient. There would be then thrown on the latter part of the Session Nyloat ought to have been done before Easter ; and then there were the Assizes, which would be then going en. He (Mr. Tierney) was confident there w as some reason for this proceeding, more than was ackauwledged. As for his own part, he could wish the House was to be dissolved to-morrow ; but then he had a public duty to perform, and he was willing to sacrifice his pleasure to that duty. He could not, ti.erefoie, see the propriety of departing from• the established custom; besides, nothing had been said about a grant. He wished to know if there was to be any grant? Lord CASTLEREAGH said there was. Mr. TIERNEY observed, that ought to be settled first ; they ought to know whether it was to be a Vote of Credit, or for the Session. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that their was to be a vote for a grant of payment of the Civii List to the 25th of April. Mr. TIERNEY said he should be very glad if any Cutlet:lan could state what' there was to prevent them following the course of voting a certain sum. Nothing happened to make an alteration of that sum necessary, unless it was that certain burdens were removed by the death of his late Majesty. This con duct was. unaccountable. He could not but imagine from it, that there was something or other which the Civil List would bring forward more than he was awal e of. It was no reason to give, that the minds of Gentlemen were full of new elections, and were occupied with nothing hilt colours, cockades, and returning office's. Such a reason could not prevent hint ii om protesting against this new measure.— They ought not to depart from the accustomed inn ,by %%inch they received an acknowledgment from the Crown that it had no means of defraying the expense of the Royal Household without the appointment of Parliament. There was another measure of the Noble Lord which ought not, at pre sent, to be kept out of view. He meant the vote a hich authorized the raising of 11,000 men in tne early phi t or the f iesent Session. • Th:tt was done when the country wa, represented to oe in such a state of danger that people could i.ot sleep in their beds, but there was no Gentleman so much alarmed at present as to a 1 as terror to interfere with hi, comforts.—. Indee, ti ere could be no sounder sleepers than•the mass his Majesty's subjects at present (A laugh). Why was this additional force of 11,000 risen to be kcpt up to the `'2sth of June, when there could, be no chance of a full attendince of Parliament?— The Noble Lord had indeed said he would bring it on ea: her. He might shake his head, buf that could not 'flake him less disposed to believe that reasons would occur to the Noble Lord, in the course of the Sesion, which would make delay necessary. The Right Hon. Gentleman concluded by repeating his declara:ion on the necessity of voting a specific sum for the Civil List. Lord CASTLEREAGH, in reply, disavowed being actuated by any latent motives in the couise which he had adopted. vts to the Civil List, he said the vote for granting the payments to the 25th of April, ought to satisty the Right Hon. Gentleman, if his opposition. was founded on a principle of Con stitutional jealousy, as that vote recognized the power of the House, in the fullest sense, on the sub ject of the support of the Royal Household. At a more tavola-able time the House could enter into those becoming and liberal arrangements with re gard to the Royal Estaolishment, which it had never been in the habit of refusing to the Sovereign. It was to avoid the embarrasments which must inevit ably ensue to the proceedings of the Ilouse, on the grounds which he had stated, that he propo3ed the present measure. He knew no other reason for it than what he had already expressed. Mr. TIERNEY . explained. The Noble Lord had stated, that the settlement of the Civil List would be attended with great difficulty at this moment. He (Nlr. Tierney) would meet this by saying, that he did not wish for the immediate entertainment of that question. He wished that Parliament should. be caheJ upon to vote only so much as was necessary until t'he final settlement of the Civil List, and that the extraordinarrtxpenses belonging to that depart ment should be voted from time to time. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that the Right Hon. Gentleman seemed to for get the arrangement which was made by the Act of 17:33. He was ready to admit that the collection of that part of the Hereditary Revenues to which the Right Hon. Gentleman had alluded, might be legal ; but, at the same time; they might-not be legally ap plicable to their former objects. So much of the Revenues as were now applicable those objects, did not, as the House must. be aware, amount to more than five or six hundred thousand pounds. It was his intention to move, next Monday, for a grant en account of the Civil List ; and he intended further, that such grant should be for the period of a quarter. Ile assured the House, that. by thu proposed arrange ments, no additional burdens would be placed on the ; but that, on the contrary, a great saving would take plaCe. As to the Act for embodying a new force, it should be remembered, that the forces svlii,ll had been raised: by virtue of such Act were disembodied, and that the Act gave only a power to be exercised at discretion. As the continuance of such all Act could not be objected to oa the ground of economy, or of censtitatiolyal principles, he. should move for a Bill to continue it. The only vote of Supplies that would be necessary, was • one for S: 500 ,000, in addition to what had been alteady , votes as necessary ; and he was sure th e House would hear with pleasure, that far the 'payment of no raising of money by unusual =Fatty tea d' retvitrkt, ' • -I .; 4 &i - frOb2:= tut ittrEpr. - Mr. Htztes and Mr. 13ROUGHfiNt rose nearly, gage,. ther, but the former Gentleman having . beeti . in.pos session of the Chair, .he proceeded, rietwithttanding there was a verieral call for Mr. - BROUGHAM. . Mr. HUME wa. sure that the House . would bear in mind that the Act of the nth of the late King, which granted an allowance to the hue Princess of Wales, had now expired•by the effects of the demise . of his late most gracious Majesty. He begged tol know if it was the intention of Ministers to peovide' for the continuance of that Act? - Lord CASTLEREAGH said, bethought it merely necessary to say, in -answer, that every care would be taken that no inconvenience should arise in the quarter to which the Honourable Member alluded; on account of the alterations mentioned. Mr. BROUGHAM said, he . did not. rise for the purpose of alluding in the remotest .degree to the subject of the question just put by his Honourable Friend—(Hear, hear).—He could not but join with his Right Honourable Friend' in thinking that the proceedings on which they were now occupied, were of an extraordinary nature. This, be believed, was the first time that a communication so precise and explicit was made by the Crown to the Commons House of Parliament, announcing its dissolution.— The power of dissolving Parliament was doubtless one of the most sacred prerogatives of the Crown, and as often at the question was attempted to be broached in either of the branches of the Legislature, the attempt was ground down by the affirmation that Parliament was not competient to broach or to entertain the question of its own existence, the Crown being above the authority with which the right of broaching or determining upon that question resided. Vb hilst he agreed in these doctrines, he was by no means implying a denial of the right of Parliament to contioul ,he Ministers of the Crown in respect of the advice which they were to give upon the exercise of the prerogative of the Crown, at a particular time. The House found itself now placed in an entirely new position; they were called upon to entertain the propriety of the advice which had been given to. his Majesty to dissolve the Parliament . immediately, and to determine whether or not a speedy dissolution was, under all the circumstances, advantageous. Thus called upon, he thought the house should avail it self of the summons, and take upon itself the consi deration of the question. As to hirnself, he was by no means averse to as speedy a dissolution of Parlia ment as could with propriety be resolved upon.— But upon the advice which Ministers had now given to the Crown, there Was one or two remarks which suggested themselves. First, he presumed, Ministers ha.; fully appreciated the amount of the inconvenience that must accrue to the country on account of fixing the period of the General Election ,precisely during that of the Assizes in the country.., Again, he was to presume, that Ministers had - taken into considera • tion the impossibility of having the Assizes postponed for a week or a for:night, as was done during the last General Election ; because upon this occasion the ap proach of the Easter Term did not permit any post uonenteilt. He presumed, that all these.difficulties had received their due proportion of consideration.— The next remark he had to offer, was•motematerial. He could not but congratulate the House upon the important, though tardy admission, that there was now no longer any foundation for alarm, as to the state of the country. The last time they had met, they were told, that to such a pitch had the disturb ances of the country arisen, so extensive and deter mined were the designs entertained of overthrowing the Constitution, that it was absolutely necessary for the Executive to call on Parliament for the ecact ment of the strongest measures that could be en forced to counteract the attempts of the disaffected. He and his friends had objected to these measures— they were met by the statement over and over that they were necessary, but the moment a new writ would issue, that moment the Bill against Public Meetings expired. Thus then they had the admis. sion, that the Bill, which was so often and so em phatically declared to be unavoidably necessary, might now be abandoned with perfect safety. It was not his intention at that time to follow the luminous statements which had been heard from the other side of the Hou-e--4uminotis; not because they abounded in meaning and lucidness, but because to him and to the House they must have been perfectly transparent. Yes, they were very easily seen through. He be lieved that he would justly subject himself to a good deal of ridicule, if he expressed a shadow of a doubt that the true motive of postponing the Settlement of the Civil List, to be entertained by a new Parlia ment, was this, that it would be considered more handy to have the subject arranged by a new Par. : liament, than by a Parliament on its death bed. — Such was his view of the relations in which the House was now placed. He was fat from objecting to speedy dissolution, believing, as he did, that the frequent recurrence of Electicns—when they were too frequent—was calculated. to confirm the princi ples of public liberty, and give refreshment to the Constitution. Mr. CANNING said, that to the renewed expression, of there being something lurking behind the advice which had been given by Ministers, no better answer could be given than a distinct denial of the impu t4tion. The Hon. and Learoed• Gentleman would hereafter have an opportunity of comparing the pre sent professions of the confidential advisers of the Crown, with tlee system which they shall afterwards embrace, and will not want an opportunity of .ex pressing his opinions on the resemblance. That the Civil List would be settled with every due regard to economy, as well as with every consideration for that, the emissions of which would be 'least of all forgiven by the House and the People, namely, the, dignity of the Crown, was the professed design of Ministers. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman had taken a Constitutional objection to the speedy disso lution of Parliament, and said, that in no instance was there an attempt made by either House of Par liament to broach thequestion Of a dissolution, with out that attempt having been ground down by the over-ruling sense of the sacredness of the Royal Pre rogative. Did the Hon: and Learned Gentleman forget that there had been various instances of- Ad dresses having been sent up to 'the Throne by Pal. liarnent, praying for a suspension of the exercise of The Prerogativoi and that their existence might not he terminated. For his part hewas at a loss to dis cover in what matmer theineissure now•proposed'by Isis 4%kt:sty trench:lk upon-tilt Ciauitittoloir; at this. same •time, he was ready to Acina that die caw*: WAS somewhat pew. The Hon.: and- lammed Gen. I tlem.in must be aware, that by the Common Law:i course, Parliament was, in fact, dissolved by the de mise-of the King. The addition of six Months to its existence was first-made in the reign. of :-Kiag Wil liam,•and the provision was tiren:merely made be cause it was deemed expedient, on account of the probability of a disputed succession, that all the branches of the Legislature should not he suspended at the same time. The provision - was made perma nent by Anne, for the same reason.- It was a very natural provision, upou these.occasions. It was Ullar voitisibly necessary, and at the same. time analogous to, and by no means superseding, the spirit or pracs tice of the Constitution. •The - practice undoubtedly was, that the provision fir' the Crown - should be made in the first Meeting of Parliament next . after the demise of the late Sovereign. He did not mean to say, because the same reasons .did not now exist for 'suffering Parliament to retilain in being for six Months longer, as upon the occasion when 'this rule was obtained, that; therefore,. the practices should not be adopted. But he was applying himself to the argument, and if he sheaved that the grounds for continuing the existence of Parliament upon occa slops of the demise of the Crown, could not on this occasion be supposed to exist ; in other words, that the precedents did not apply, he thought he would answer the case of the Right Hon. Gentleman.— In the case of William and Mary, the necessity of pro tracting the sitting of Parliament was obvious ; in the other reigns the same reasons applied. In none of these cases was Parliament actually sitting. But upon this occa , ion,• Parliament had been actually sitting, for he took it, that a slight adjournment did not make it necessary for him to qualify the phrase. But Parliament was sitting, and an impression was pre vailing abroad, that an immediate dissolution would take place; and it he knew any person who had con tributed more than another to the circulation of that notion, it wattlie Honourable and Learned Gentle man himself (Mr. Brougham). That Honourable and Learned Gentleman was the last person in the world from whom he expected a chhrge of precipis tancy against Ministers ;—had he not been the very first to challenge his adversaries to the lists of elec tioneering combats, and would he now reproach these who had been anxious to give him a speedy op. portunity of coming to battle ? He, at least, ought not to blame Ministers, if they shortened the delay be= tween the Honourable Gentleman and all the triumphs he expected to reap amongst his constituents. Was it supposed, that in the present state of she country, when so many . distracting interests were afloat, that there would be that attendance of Members in the House, that constant presence, both night and day, which the importance and exigency of the affairs of the kingdom required ? it could rot be expected. Mr. BROUGHAM thought he had some right to complain of the course which the Right lion. Gen tleman had taken with regard to himself personally. Ile had observed, not unfrequently, that the .Rignt Hon. Gentleman had got at his joke by a complete perversion of the fact. Upon this occasion, the Right Hon. Gentleman, in order to make out that he (Mr. Brougham) was inconsistent in two of his statements, aas obliged to fabricate—he used the word with every respects—but he was obliged to fabricate fon him, this statement, namely, that he•was now averse 'to a slated) , dissolution of Parliament. Now he (Mr: Brougham), would appeal to the recollection of the House, and ask them, did he not, two se-verli tunes, declare his entire concurrence with the measure - of .a speedy dissolution ?—(Hear, hear). He would say one word in explanation of another part of his for. ' mer observation,. which had been misunderstood.— The Right Hon. Gentleman said there were prece cedents in favour of Parliament broaching the ques tion of their own dissolution, and stated, that Ad dresses on the subject had been frequent. True—but when was there an instancce of a House of Com mons Addressing the Throne for a dissolution of their existence? At all events, -the coarse was quite novel that the Crown should first announce its..iritention to dissolve Parliament, and then call on Parliament to discuss the propriety of it—(Hear, hear). Mr. MACDONALD said, that the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Canning) had alluded to the prece dents in opposition to the doctrine he was supporting, and threw them all . aside without giving any one reason for doing so. He would ask, why, as in all former cases, was it not notified to Parliament that the Civil List had expired? Was it becauie Ministers dreaded that the People, at the subsequent Election, would manifest their dissatisfaction with the conduct of their Representatives? The only other supposition was, that there was something in the views of Minis ters which 'that Parliament could not be expected to concur with. But the Right }fon. Gentleman, with all his accuracy of understanding, had, in his argu ment, wholly confounded an Address from the House with a Message front the Throne. He was rather surprised to hear the language of the Right lion. Gentleman that night; for he was long enough in that House to remember hearing the Right Hon. Gentleman absolutely threaten the House, that if they did not agree to some particular course on a certain occasion, he would feel it his duty. to advise an immediate dissolution of Parliament. The question was then put and carried. CORRUPT BOROUGHS. Lord JOHN ItUSSELL hoped, as Bills were to be 'continued which went Co provide for the public con venience, that the condition of the corrupt Boroughs of Grampound, 'Penrhyn, and Camelford, would not be neglected.' It appeared from an Act of the 15th of George the Third, chap.. 36, that wehre gross •cor ruption was proved against any Borough, its dis-, franchisement almost .necessarily followed. That writs in such ca s es were frequently suspended, was ,also clear ; and he proposed to extend the principle of that * Act to the caSes*Of the corrupt Boroughs he had just named, on the present dissolution: • In casts, of impeachment the dissolution of Parliament did not stop all proceedings; and it was stated, on a me morable occasion, by. Mr.. Fox, that the prorogation of Parliament, in place of having such an OperakiOU, gaie.to Members a Witt opjobridnity of reviewing' their proCeedlngs. He would; be softy to dol any thing vexatious to the inhabitants of any Borough; but. as to renhryn, Carnelford, , and (irampouud, their corruptions were so notorious, that thetshonld not be alloWed the e set:the of theefectivefrantUe. 'This . Bill - pYdlioted thitt iitr *fit ihuttld issue Ark Eli Ole coe Airlialssient, 'and in. ~~it • ' picipesinelitat .. ...,"Vitailifiit only the mithr . i . rity 'of - the Act of the 15th of George the Third to gia upon, but he had alto the authority of the-Shalie4s4y- - cate, on which occasion the House allowed all :o he brought in for a 'similar prlrprisb to that w Inch, with out farther preface, he should. move for leave to bring in. Lord CASTLEREAGH said, his views upon the subject were not essentially•different• froth those of the Noble Lord. He wished to keep the proceedings as nearly as possible within.the shape just proposed ; but the question was, not as to the right of Parlia ment to interfere, but as to what state those Boroughs would exist in, while arrangements were making for their more formal disfranchisement ? Grarnpound had then two Members in the House, and Penrhyn had one, and the matter for.consideration was, were those places to be left mire. resenteJ, while no other places had the - right of suffrage transferred to them? With regard to. the Shaftesbury case, he viewed it in pretty nearly the same light as the Noble Lord ; but then he thought it had obtained the sanction of the House of Lords upon grounds of a-grayer nature than had yet been stated as to Gratnpound and . Pen rhvn. He did not state this as any.objettion to the principle of the Bill proposed by Alre• Noble Lord, but when he saw how particular the laws . were in such cases, he felt but little chance of its practicality passing during the remainder .of the present Parlia ment. The state of those three Boroughs would come before the other House in a much more complicated shape than that of Shaftesbury; but whether the tslOble Lord's Bill now passed or not, he considered the new Parliament would have them exactly under the same controul as they were held by that which now existed. Mr. W. WINN said, they all knew that the House of Lords was occupied in an inquiry relative to those Boroughs at the period of the last Prorogation. AM whether they might have grounds or not for a differ ence of opinion on the subject with the House ef. Commons, it was too much thus early to tiesume that such a difference did exist. The Not,le Lord opposite (Lord Castlereagh) had said, that any refer ence to the subject in the manner proposed by the Noble Lord who that evening brought forward the motion of disfranchisement, would De, not oily an interference with, but a denial of the authority of Parliament. He would be as unwilling as any man ' to deny that power, - but he could not possibly agree with the Noble Lord that such an inference•yas fair or natural. The House agreed that corruption had been practised .in these Boroughs ; and such corrup tion to continue during the next Parliament, would, in his opinion, be at once to sanction and perpetuate it. He deprecated as much as any one au interielence with the ordinary course of law, and the only justifi cation was the extreme nece-sity of the case, which obliged such an interference. The course proposed 'would not in any way prejudice farther investigation. It would prove to the People. that the Parliament were prepared, whenever a case of corruption was fully established, to visit it with a severe penalty...,.. He felt, therefore, fully assured that the Bill would prove of great advantage. Lord JOHN RUSSELL explained ; he said that he had no objection to comply with the wishes and suggestions of the Hon. Member (Mr. Wynn). With regard to what had fallen from the Noble Lord op. ' posite (Lord Castlereagh) upon the subject of evi dence to satisfy the Lords, he merely wished to ob serve that it would.be. only necessary for their Lord ships to know that the House had gone through that evidence,;and were justified in their conclusion. • . Lord CASTLEREAGH, in explanation, states, that be had merely observed upon the Bill in elem. plification of its difficulties, and Lot for the purpose of offering any opposition to it. The Question was then put from the Chair, and the Bill passed. • - ANSWER FROM THE ADDRESS TO THE THRONE. Lori JOCELYN brought down Answers to the two Addresses voted on • the night preceding. The first stated, that his Majesty felt the truest s.,.;sfac tion in receiving the affectionate, loyal, and .dotiful Address of Condolence and Congratulation from the House of Commons, and that his Majesty assured the House that he should ever feel anxious to preserve and promote their liberties. The second was as follcws " GEORGE It. " I have received with satisfaction the loyal and dutiful Ad dress of Condolence which the House of Commons has pre seined to me, on the late melancholy death of my beloved Bro ther, the Duke of Rent, as a gratifying proof of that constant attachment to my person, family, and Government." MISC ELL A NIES. The Bill for the Prevention of Bribery in the Boroughs 4 Penryn and Barnstaple was then read a first time, and Ordered to be read a second time on Monday. Lord PALMERSTON gave notice, for Monday, to move the continuing of the Mutiny Act. On the motion of the CHANCELLOS of the EICIIIQUIIy the House adjourned until Monday next.
