PARLI/INENTeIRr PROCEEDING& HOUSE OF LORDS, JULY 21. Metseniers f,o.ti the C , .mnsons brought up the Spoiled Stamps the Irian ScLii•iotts Mveting Bill, and several others. BANK IiEsTRICIION On the questiun that the Bank Restriction Bill should be read a second time, Lord,LAUDERDALE took the opportunity of expressing a hope that the present system would, upon the establishment of peace, be discontinued, although it was true that the prices of gold and paper were sot now so disproportionate as formerly. He trusted that the subject would be taken into seriousconsidera ties early in the best Session of Parliament. He ob jected to the draught of teBoo,ooo which had been made by Government upon the Bank of England, as tending to delay the resuming of cash payments. Lord LIVERPOOL replied, that the conclusion of peace was of all times the most unfavourable for the purpose of the Noble Lord.. The draught upon the Batik had not been Made without imperious ne cessity, and this timely supply had produced the most .beneficiAl vonsequences upon the war. The present Bill was only to p ostpone the question for six, or eight months, when Parliament would be called upon to decide the whole subject. After a few words from Lord LIMERICK, the Irish atege Coach Bill was read a second time. of the Bill,- and he had, for himself, so objection to it. But there was a difficulty which, perhaps, some of the Gentlemen opposite to him could remove— that as the Bill had been communicated to the Prin. cess of Wales in its present state, viz. as a grant for' life, he should feel some reluctance to agree to nar row that grant without the consent of her Royal Highness. It was never intended to convey by the Bill the idea that the proposed grant of i 635,000 a year would be a suitable income for her Royal High ness when she had ascended the Throne, as her reve nue would then necessarily come under the conside- 1 ration of Parliament in the arrangements for the settling the Ciril List oa that occasion. However,l it might be the wish of her Royal Highness to retain the £35,000 a year as an independent provision for life ; and if that was the cate it would of course be taken into the consideration of Parliament in those arrangements. He suggested that the best course would bc, if the Right Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Tierney) was not authorised on the part of the Prin cess to consent to the Amendment, to postpone it until the proceedings on the third reading. Mr. WHITBREAD said, that his Right Hon. Friend (Mr. Tierney) had proposed, and he had se conded, the Amendment, merely on the ground of Parliamentary duty, without having taken the opi nion of the Princess of Wales on the subject, but he had no doubt that the Princess of Wales would con sent to the Amendment.. He should consent, there fore, either to introduce the amendment at that time and to withdraw it on the third reading if anT objec- . tion was made to it by the Princess of Wales, or to postpone the introduction of it to the third reading of the Bill. Lord CASTLEREAGH suggested that the most advisable plan would he to withdraw the Amend. ment, with the understanding that it should beagain proposed on the third reading, if the consent of the Princess of Wales was in the mean time obtained. Mr. TIERNEY said he should withdraw his Amendment under that understanding. His inten tion was to guard the House from a recognition of a separation, to which it would be most improper for thetn to give a sanction. Lord CASTLEREAGH said that the wholeßill proceeded on the fact, that a separation between the Prince and Princess of Wales existed, and that, therefore, a separate income was necessary for her Royal Highness. Mr. TIERNEY said that his object was, that the House should not be entrapped into a recognition that a separation existed between the King and Queen of these realms. Lord. CASTLEREAGH said that ,it was not possible for the Huuse to recognize a tact which could not exist. Mr. TIERNEY observed, that it Would be in effect a recognition that such a serirat;on might and would exist when their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princes; of Wales ascended the Throne. Lord CASTLEREAGH remarked, that he knew not how it was possible to guard these ous persons against such a calamity, even after such an event. • Mr. TIERNEY observed, that it was no great matter that the Prince and Prinzess of Wales could not Meet in the Lame room ; but it would be most calamitous that the King and Queen could not sit on the same Throne. The convers..tion then dropped. Mr. TIERNEY proposed a verbal Ametwlwient, which was agreed to, and an omission in the recital, which was reported. The House then resumed, and the Report was or dered to be received to-morrow. ' A Message from the Lords informed the House that their Lord hips had passed the Insolvent Bill and the Greenwich Hospiul Bill. Mr. J. P. GRANT presented a Petition from Mr. Archibald Macnaughten, who had served as a Com missary under Lord Wellington, complaining that he had transmitted charges against an officer in a regular manner to the Advocate• General and sub sequently to the Adjutant-General, and that they had been returned without any reason assigned, and that no proceedings had been instituted on them. The Petition having been read, on the motion that it do lie on the table, Mr. MANNERS SUTTON said that the charges to which the Petition alluded had been returned by bim to the Petitioner, on the ground that it did not come within the duties of his (Mr. Manners Sut. ton's) office to institute complaints against any offi cer. As to the rejection from the Adjutant-Gene ral's Office, he should be prepared to account for it if any motion were brought forward on the subject. Mr. J. P. GRANT said that he had presented the Petition from no knowledge as to the correctness tof the statements of it, but under a sense of his duty as a Member of Parliament. Ordered to lie on the table. The Bill for the more easy and effectual appre hension and bringing to trial offenders escaping from one quarter of the empire to another was, on the mo tion of the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, read a second time, after a few words from Mr. C. W. WYNNE. A fill for the further regulation of the Thames Police was brought in by Mr. H. ADDINGTON. Read a first, and ordered to be read a second time to. morrow. On the motion for the committal of the Post Horse Duty Bill, with a view to postpone it, Mr. WROTTESLEY said, that he should to morrow move the insertion of a clause in this Bill to suspend prosecutions commenced under the present Act, until the next Session, in the hope that in the interim the authors of this Bill should feel the pro priety of proposing an enactment that prosecutions in future should be instituted and conducted only by the Solicitor for the Commissioners of Stamps. After a few wards from Mr.LUSHINGTON, who ap peared to approve of the proposition, the order was postponed until ti-morrow. The Gunpowder Bill, the Irish. Militia Pay Bill, and the Irish Cordage Bill, wore read a second time, and committed for to-morrow. The Hackney Coach Bill was read a third time -ES, after some prefatory observe his unwillingness to press the Poor further at present, as there was not carry k through the other House Session. the third reading of the BiU was sed.—Adjourned. • TN PRINCE'S FITZ. Last night his Royal Highness the PRINCE Raaur gave a magnificent Fete at Carlton House in honour of the Peace and the return of the Hero of the Penin sula. The preparations were upon the mot exten sive scale. The front of the Palace WAS most bril- Handy illuminated : the facade particularly shone with a beauty and resplendency almost unrivaled. Trans parencies were introduced upon a large scale. Pall- Mall and all the adjoining streets were lined with the Horse Guards. About nine o'clock a numerous party of Foot Guards entered the Court-yard, and the band played favourite tunes during the night.

PREAERVATIOX ON Tilt PEACE IX IRELAND. Earl STANHQPE observed, that the House stood summoned for tomorrow, on a motion of an illus. . re Duke, who as now severely indisposed.— utn u e s la observations had yesterday been made upon the sibject, which his Lordship had felt it his duty to tmmunicate to his Royal Highness as well as his slitensnry would allow, thinking it but lair to an absent individual. 'His Lordship had, received an answer, stating, that if his health were such as to allow him, his Royal Highirss would attend in his place this evening, adding, that he should be extremely un willing twice to call upon the House. His Lord ship understocd that to mean, that his Royal High ness would be unwilling to lix his motion again, and then again, from illness, to be obliged to postpone it. Not seeing the illustrious Duke in his place, it was to be presumed that his illness prevented his at tendance, aid in such a case Monday or Tuesday were named as days which :night be appropriated to the motion. Under there circumstances his Lordship conceived that be was sufficiently authorized to relieve their Lordships fr,m the trouble of attending to-mor row. H , therefore, although he had no anxiety upon the coestion, stugested that the motion for sum moning the House fur to-morrow should he dis charged, and that it should be fixed Lir Tuesday next. At all events, the summoning of the House on that d:ty would be proper, since if his Royal Ni , . 21 1-•nis were not the:a able to attend, there was - a - 1341 to be lead wilier deserved the most serious attention. • The order for summoning the Peers to-morrow was deo discharged, and it was ordered that the Peers should be summtatted for Tuesday next. • 'Lord SI DMOUTH, after a few remarks upon the meture of the measure, and upon the necessity for it, both of which have been already stated in the pro ceedings of the other House of Parliament, moved she second reading of the Bill for the beiaer pre:erva tion of the Peace in Ireland. Lord CA lt YSFORT approved dale general ten dency of the Bill, but sincerely lamented the necessity for its adoption. The Government of Irehr.nd had been much too laic in no country were the functions so•ill administered, the consequence of which was, that severe arbiu ary and temporary regulations were frequently adopted, by which the tower classes were severely oppressed. He could not concur in the asser tion id the Bill, that the ordinary police was inade quate to the preservation of peace ; the fault was in the administration of the existing laws; if they were duly enforced, he doubted whether any law like the present would be at all required. Lord LIMERICK defended the Bill and the con duct of the Government in Ireland. He argued that the police had been, and was, as vigorous and effec tive as possible, but the hands of the constituted ankhorities required to be strengthened by a measure like the present. If the Irish Government conducted itself so insufficiently, he recommended that the Noble Earl (Carysfort) should in Parliament bring forward some distinct charge, and not draw general conclu sions from a particular fact. His only doubt was, whether the Bill now under discussion would be ade quate to the purpos,:? • Lords CARYWORT and LIMERICK severally explain ed, alter which the Bill was read a second time.

He could not yes terday go to his chapel; but heard mass in his apart:. ments. One of the great advantages of the liberty of the press is, that of enlightening the deliberations of the Legislative Body, and recalling them to the object of their institution, when they seem to wander from it. The eyes of the public are particularly fixed on the Chamber of Deputies; they regularly attend its sit tings ; they go there every day with the hope of hear ing, not propositions vague, ill-considered, without result, but wise and precise discussions, prepared and matured before-hand in the bureaux; in short, discus sions conformable to the paternal views of a monarch who has no other ambition but to secure the welfare of his subjects by closing wounds and removing cala mities which did not proceed from him. What bas the Chamber of Deputies done, to fulfil the expecta tion of the public, during these six weeks that it has been ►itting ? Has it adopted a single resolution of general interest ? How many random opinions have been delivered in its bosom, especially as to tate% which, not having been properly digested, have been misinterpreted and produced mischief How much time has been spent on an internal regulation, in no wise interesting to the nation ? What kind of discus. sion is still going on about mere questions of piece. dent,' and superiority of rank between the two Cha mbers—questions the more interminable that each is judge and party in its own cause ? Nineteen days have elapsed since a regulation was siitimitted to the tiro Chambers by order of Govern. silent, to fix the respective relations both of the King with the Chambers, and of the Chambers betweet; themselves t . the object of two of its articles was to give the Chamber of Peers a certain pre-eminence of rank and of honour above that of the Deputies. At the opening of the session it is the King, who de. sires the Peers to be seated ! and the Chancellor, who desires the Deputies on the part of the King. When the King &les not approve a resolution adopted by the two Chambers, It is by the Chancellor that he noti hes his pleasure to the iicers. and by a lett. , inertly ministerial that he coininitnicatts it to the Drimtieq 'llie••e slight differences have sufficed t. , cause: th: sen mon between the two Chamber, s the Peers 4.lolvted tae regulation without difficulty; a:td the Deputies, it we ale to judge from the report of their central committee, mean to reject it i or, what is the same to suppress arrangements which protiably ap. /1 11.
