PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS. mestic events it must be a consolation to learn that during the last year, a considerable improvement had taken place in our commerce and manufactures, for it was upon these our national prosperity depended; but while he was upon this subject he could not help regretting that such prosperity did not exist in that part of the United Kingdom with which he was more immediately connected. He then read the Address, which was (as in all such cases) an echo of the Speech. Lord PRUDHOE said, the Noble Lord who had just spoken had so fully entered into the matter of the Speech, that nothing was,Jeft for him to say. They must all agree that the situation of our foteign relations was most satisfactory. The reduction in the army must be universally satisfactory I and they must admit that it was essential to the interests of England that the digresses of Ireland should be re lieved. He concluded by seconding the Address. Earl GREY said, it was not his intention at this lity but bare min -elite NV As Mk the line of conduct which so great and powerful a nation as England should have pursued en such an odasion. When he saw a set of Sovereigns sitting at Laybach, and sum moning before their tribunal the ring of an hide pendent country ; to give an accotmt nf changes which had occurred in the internal Concerns of that country, he could not describe the astonishment and indignation which he felt at such arrogant preten sinus ; and he thought that our Ministers ; msteutl of being passive spectators of those events, ought not to have given any sort of countenance to their reso lutions; or to any of the measures of Monarcht who held out such an unwarsantable doctrine as that of saying that.no improvement should take place in any country except by their leave. These Allied Sove reigns were attempting to interfere in the internal concerns if a kingdom which had effected a revolii lution in its Government with as little cruelty and as little confusion as had ever been witnessed in any part of the world on any similar occasion. The Neapolitans had done nothing hostile to the trans quillity of other countries, and what right had foreign Sovereigns to prevent them from making a refor , relation in their Government? At all this he could not help expressing the deepest indignation ; particu larly when he consichored that we had no accredited Minister at the Neapolitan Court. When he saw the Austrian armies on the frontiers, and a British squaL dion in the Lay of Naples, the one appearing as if ready to co-operate with the other, he would ask if this was a symptom of strict neutrality on the part of England? He might say much more on this sub = ject, but he sincerely hoped the peace of this couni try would not be interrupted, but that it would be preset ved, and that the independence of other nations would be respected. Little indeed could we have to boast of our brilliant successes in the late war, or of our influence in Europe, if the combined Powers forming the Holy Alliance could not be revelled or restrained by the remonstrances of England. This; however, must be the subject of another debate, and then it was to he hoped that Ministers would be able to give every necessary information to Parliament. He could not help expressing his satisfaction that a reduction was to be made in the Military Establish ment of the country; and he hoped the reduction would be considerable. He was sure that, with a conciliatory system, and with a just attention to the wants and wishes of the People, instead of imposing new burthens and restraints on them, a considerable reduction might be made in the public expenditure. Even for the maintenance of our free Constitutions it was well that we should depart from our present military system, which had been growing upon us for so many years. It gave him great satisfaction to find that an arrangement had, at last been deter. mined on respecting the Civil List, and sorry he was that it had been so long delayed. He would now ask, hoar it came to be deferred ? and why the late prorogation of Parliament had taken place in so ex traordinary a manner, and at a time when that House had the most painful duties to perform ? The prorogation had also taken place without the accus tomed Speech from the Throne, and without any explanation. He was glad, however, that an esta , blishment was to be provided for the Queen ; and be hoped that the subject respecting her Majesty would now be put to rest, and that there would be an end to all agitation upon it. He hoped that such would be the spirit of the measures intended to be proposed by Ministers. He would now reserve himL. self for future occasions, when other subjects re lating to the Speech should come on for discussion ; and he should be sincerely happy to see Ministers resorting to a system of policy different from that which they had hitherto pursued. - The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, he should not trouble their Lordships long in replying to what had fallen from the Noble Lord opposite; because his objections to the Address were rather of a negative ; than a positive kind. But he could not allow the Noble Lord's speech to pass without some comment, lest it should be supposed that he acquiesced in the sentiments which it contained. As to what had been said about the sentiments of loyalty which had been expressed by people in different parts of the country, he knew that a distinction was made between loyalty to the Throne, and an approval of the conduct of nisters ; but he wished to know what was meant by the declaration, that there ought to be a chang e its the system by which the Government had hit herto been carried on. If the Noble 'Lord expected that Ministers should propose such a change, he must tell the Noble Lord that no such proposal should he made, for it was to such a system as that which now existed, that the country was indebted for all e•se greatness and the blessiegs it now had to boast of; and this was the opinion of all the respectable and thinking part of the community. The measures of Ministers might sometimes be erroneous; but it did not follow that in order to correct them, there should be a change in the system of the Government, which would be tantamount to a revolution. ‘Vith respect to the improvements which were stated in his Ma jesty's Speech to have taken place in certain branches of our commerce, the Noble Lord seemed to be unds some mistake. All the Speech Said was, that in cer tain parts of onr commerce and manufactures, grea improvement had taken place. Agriculture was not by name directly adverted to; but an allusion was made to it in the passage which spoke of the dis tresses under which a large part of the community was s uffe r i ng . Whenever the Noble Lord had :ivy proposition of that kind to make, he (Lord Liver pool) would be ready to give him his assittance. A twelvemonth ago, the gloat weight of distress fell upon the Manefacturing Districts; but there ccr, tainly was a great pre, sure on the Aericula rest, and he wished to caution the Public again t giving way to any rash expectation of a remedy on that subject, which, without producing any benefit, might cause a great deal of mischief. Some years ago, just at the conclusion of a long war, a remedy HOUSE OF LORDS, JANUARY 33. Thh being the day fixed by Proclamation for the meeting of Parliament, his Mi./v.syr, 'attended by the principal Officers of State and the Household, came down to the House about two o'clock and opened the Session. Sir Tuonas TTawnirr, Usher of the Black Rod, was directed to summon the Commons and on their appearance at the Bar, his AIAJESTY delivered the fol lowing Speech : " My Lords and Gentlemen, 7 " I have the satisfaction of acquainting yoti, that I continue to receive from Foreign Powers the strongest assurances of their friendly disposition to wards this country. " It will be a matter of deep regret to me, if the occurrences which have lately taken place in Italy should eventually lead to any interruption of tran quillity in that quarter ; but it will, in such case, be my great object to secure to my people the tontinu auce of peace. " Gentlemen of Me House of Commons, " The measures by which, in the last Session of Parliament, you made provision for the expenses of my Civil Government, and for the honour and dig nity of the Crown, demand my warmest acknow ledgments. " I have directed that the Estimates for the cur rent )ear shall be laid before you; and it is a satisfaction to me to have been enabled to make some reduction in our Military Establishments. " You will observe from the Accounts of the Pub lic Revenue, that notwithstanding the Receipts in Ireland have proved materially deficient, in conse quence of the unfortunate circumstances which have affected the Comma cial Credit of that part of the United Kingdom, and although our Foreign Trade, during the early part of this time, was in a state of depression, the total Revemie has, nevertheless, ex ceeded that of the preceding year. " A considerable p.trt of this increase must be ascribed to the new Taxes t but in some of those branches which are the surest indicatiens of internal wealth, the augmentation his fully realized any expec tation which could have been reasonably formed of it. " The separate provision which was made for the Queen, as Princess of Wales, in the year 'lBl4, ter minated with the demise of his late Majesty. time to offer anything to their Lordships which was likely, to produce a debate; for there was nothing in the Address just moved which he could object to. But at the same time he must observe, that the Speech to which it was an answer, fell far short of the real fact in its statettent of the distresses of the country, and was not strictly correct in its assertions respect ing the feelings expressed by the People of the coun try. He was sure that there were none of those per sons who had been under the painful necessity of op posing the measures of Ministers, who did not feel as warm an attachment for the person and Government of their Sovereign, as those who were making the loudest professions of loyalty. As to those which which were called Loyal Addresses, he had some doubt as to their extent, and whether Ministers could reckon upon them in the manner stated in the Speech ; for he beliived there never was a more universal ex pression of public opinion, than what had lately been witnessed all over the couniry, relative to the con , duct of Ministers. Indeed, all the declarations made by the People, evinced the most loyal attachment to his Majesty, but at the same time they were accom panied by expressions of disapprobation respecting the conduct of his Ministers, and the measures of his Majesty's Government. Therefore, if it was intended on this occasion to infer, that there prevailed through out the country any approbation of the measures of Ministers, he must deny such inference, because he knew the general opinion of the People of England, to be most unfavourable to their measures—at least, he knew it to be so in that part of the country where he lately resided. Giving credit then, as he did, to the People of England for their attachment to the Government, and their obedience to the laws, he was sure they would repel every attempt to represent the present Ministers as actuated by any feelings for good government : he was sorry to say, that he did not perceive in the Speech from the Throne, any symptom expressive of a disposition to relinquish the present system of government—which system, if continued, would involve the country in ruin—(Har, hear). — But after the expression of public opinion, which had already been manifested all over the country, he hoped the House would adopt such a line of policy as would serve to alter that system wi.ich had been, unhappily, pursued during six years of peace. The Speech from the*Throne „stated, that the situation of the country had been materially benefited by the great improvements which were said to have taken place in our commerce and manufactures. He hoped that this statement would not prove fallacious. There might, indeed, be an improvement in some particu lar branches of trade ; but as far as he was able to see, from the observations he had made in different T oes ayi, without N ote or Comment, price is. 6d.

" I have, in the meantime, directed advances, as authorized by law ; and it will, under present cir cumstances, be for you to consider what new ar rangements should be made on this subject. " My Lords and Gentlemen, 44 I have great pleasure in being able to acquaint you, that a considerable improvement has taken place within the last half year in several of the most impor tant branches of our Commerce and Manufactures; and that, in many of the Manufacturing Districts, the distresses which prevailed at the commencement of the last Session of Parliament have greatly abated. " It will be my most anxious desire to concur in every measure which may be considered as calculated to advance our internal prosperity. . " I well know that, notwithstanding the agitation produced by temporary circumstances, and amidst the distress which still presses upon a large portion of my Subjects, the firmest reliance may be placed on that affectionate and loyal attachment to my Person and Government, of which I have recently received so many testimonies from all parts of my Kingdom ; and which, whilst it is most grateful to the strongest feelings of " my heart, I shall ever consider as the best and surest safeguard of my Throne. " In the discharge of the important duties imposed upon you, you will, I am confident, be sensible of the indispensable necessity of promoting and maintaining to the utmost of your power, a due obedience to the ' laws, and of instilling into all classes of my subjects, a respect for lawful authority, and for those estab lished institutions under which the country has been enabled to overcome so many difficulties, and to which, under PROVIDENCE, may •be ascribed our happiness and renown as a Nation." At a quarter past two his MAJESTY quitted the House of Lords, and returned to Carlton Palace in the same State in which he went. The LORD CHANCELLOR laid on the table the Annual Indemnity Bill, which was read a first time. The LORD CHANCELLOR then read his Ma parti of England, he was sure there were no symp toms of internal improvement on which great reliance could be placed. There was one branch of our na tional industry, he meant our agriculture, to which no reference whatever had been made in the Speech. In that branch, he could assure the House, that not only no improvement had takeri place in that pan of the country, at least, to which he belonged, but that it had experienced a most melancholy falling off. It was impossible for him to reconcile such a failure as this with an improved state of the manufactures ; yet thd fact was, that cur agriculture was labouring un der the greatest embarrassments, and that no pros pect of relief, at this moment, existed. In stating this fact, he begged not to be understood as demand ing any new Corn Laws, which, he thought, would do more harm than good; but he wished to call the attention of the Government to the state of the fact, as it now existed. He should dext come to a very material part of the King's Speech—that which re lated to our exterior policy. On this part of the sub ject, he was happy to hear, that pacific assurances had oeen made towards this country by foreign Powers ; for nothing could be so indispensable to wards realizing the hopes we now entertained of re lief from public distress, as the prospect of a long continuance of peace ; and he hoped it would he the constant policy of his Majesty's Government to pre serve the country in a state of peace. But he was sorry he had heard nothing respecting a subject which ought to be developed. He was sorry not to be able to discover any of that policy which it be came a liberal nation to adopt. The present cer tainly \vas not the time to discuss the point to which he alluded ; but he hoped the House would shortly be put in possession of those materials which would serve to elucidate it. He was sorry that our Govern ment had not taken such steps as were necessary to • secure the public tranquillity of Europe. It appeared, that the Kingdom of Naples was in such a state with regard to this country, that the ordinary relations did not exi st between them by means of an accredited Minis ' ter. When he considered that power which was called the holy Alliance—when he considered that there was a British Minister with that power, carrying on the accustomed relations between it and this country, he was sorry, and was surprised to find, that similar re lations were not kept up with the nation whose de- I struction the Holy Alliance was now aiming at. It was indeed said, that they were in a state of Amara jesty's Speech, and the same being again read by the Clerk, Lord BELMORE rose to move the Address. He said it was the paramount duty of their Lordships to express their affectionate regards to his Majesty and the Constitution of the Country; because it was impossible not to deplore that unlawful and licen tious spirit which had lately gone abroad through the country ; and which was set going by persons whose designs were to overturn every existing esta blishment—(Near, hear). It was therefore neces sary to take every step that could serve to check that spirit. On the other hand it must be grateful to their Lordships to perceive the loyal attachment which was manifested in most parts of the country towards his Majesty's Person and Governmeat; and the general wish that prevailed to preserve the Con stitution of the country. It must also at such a time 1 as the present, be a matter of .the greatest satisfac- ' tion to reflect that his Majesty had received from foreign Powers the fullest assurances of friendship ; and that there was therefore reason to hope for a long continuance of peace. Indeed it would be a matter of the deepest regret if there were anythirg likely to disturb the general tranquillity that row prevailed over Europe; or to prevent this country from preserving the blessing of peace. Another sub -1 ject of sincere gratification to every one was the re duction which his Alajesty proposed to make in the military establi.hment of the country ; which might be considered as the sui est pledge of those measures of retrenchment and economy that were hereafter to be expected. Hitt it was impossible for the people 1 6f this country to remain indifferent spectators of the events which were now passing on the Continent of Europe, and 'which were under the consideration off the continental Powers, and with regard to do- FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.
