Earl GEEY said that he had used his time since last night, in reading the papers which had been laid before the House ; atul be was sorry to be obliged to confess that this lecture had it , no degree weakened the impression made on his mind by the statement of the Noble Earl at the head of the Treasury. It had, on the contrary, confirmed his opinion that the interests and honour of this country had been sacrificed by his Majesty's :dinisters, in the neguclations carried on both at Verona and at Paris. Should no other individual better qualified than hitnself undertake the task, he should think it his duty to make a dis tinct motion upon the subject. In the meantime, some infor mation was wanted respecting the Papers submitted to their Lordships, on account of certain omissions and deficiencies which appeared in them. It was his intention, if his Majesty's Minis tcrs•shouid be present on Thursday next, to put some questions to them on the subject ; and, en the Tuesday following, if it should suit the convenience of the House, he would make a motion, with the view of discussing the whole question at large.

Mr. KENNEDY ruse, to ask for information on a subject which was of vital importance to that part of the Empire which had done him the honour to send him to that House. Rumour bad asserted, that it was the intention of his Majesty's Govern ment to effect some arrangement for ensuring the dispatch of Appeal business in the House of Lords, and it was the object of his present application to ascertain what was the nature of the remedy proposed, or if any was in contemplation. Mr. Secretary PEEL said, it was true that the subject was at present under the consideration of his Majesty's Government ; and at an early period, he had no doubt, he should be able to furnish some information of the result. Mr. KENNEDY expressed a hope, that the proposed al teration would be laid before that House before it was carried into effect. EX-OFFICIO PROSECUTIONS IN IRELAND. Mr. BROWNLOW rose, he said, according to the notice Ire had given of a motion relative to certain law proceedings—if, indeed, without impugning the whole jurisdiction of the Empire, those to which he alluded could merit such a description; the subject of his Motion would be the ptoceedings which arose out of the occurrences of the 14111 of December last at the Dublin Theatre, which, as far as he could understand, by the help of his own reason, and that of others, involved the character, the temper, and the discretion of the Attorney-General for Ireland. Vs tiatever might be the uhimate opinion of Honour able Members upon the preolse" motion he had to submit, he was sure that 'every man would agree with him in thinking that this was a question as wor thy of the consideration and debate of the House as any that occupied its attention. It was not interest ing to Irishmen only, but to every man who claimed the protection of the British Laws. This subject claimed peculiar gravity, because it embraced the question of . a departure from the ordinary execution of 0.1 law, at the instigation of the temper and feel ings of the Attorney-General. Such being the out line of what he had to submit to the attention of the House, ne feared many would think that he was de; void of learned and prote:isional habits to qualify him for such a task. In this respect he confessed he felt weak, not because ljis cause was weak, for that he considered as invincible; but he hoped that some of the Learned Members of that House would supply what he wanted of knowledge and ability, and, intimately acquainted with the Constitution of their country, would thew their veneration for it by exposing the abuse, and expressing that contempt which these proceedings could hot fail to have in spired—Wear). Although this was a question of law, it was also one of great constitutional interest to that House. As a subject coming borne to every Irish man, arid to every man claiming the scrutiny of a Grand Jury before he was put on his trial by the King, lie owed no apology for bringing it forward—(Hcar). It was also, he apprehended, strictly in conformance . earliamentary practice, which always exercised a scrutinizing eye over, the administration of the laws in the inferior Courts of Lave, for it was always felt that the power of the King Was able to influence the trial of any of his bumble subjects. (ticar.) tietiteils . ' the malty thought that he had slumbered too long upon so important a question, and that the sanction of Parliament was given to the proceedings, because its censure had been lo long withheld. To such he offered every apology in his power, because he felt that if a ease similar in any of its features to that he had that evening to bring before the House had taken place in England, not a day, perhaps but a few 'mi nutes, would have elapsed before it had been debated, and that redress which the law denied awarded by the Commons of England. That men should be taken and vilified because their conduct did not ac cord with the notions of the King's Attorney-General, and the King's subjects harassed by the same officer, although acquitted by a Grand Jury of their country, was a case that would never be allowed to rest long unnoticed in England. This day has seemed to I him to be the first on which it could be effectually brought forward. • lle understood that, in his ab sence, it had been imputed to him that he had fixed his notice for the 15th April, in order to embarrass the Attorney-General for Ireland in the motion he had fixed for the 17th. He begged, explicitly to de cl ire, that by no such'motive had he been actuated ; neither could he see the smallest connection that such a motive could have with the case. (Hear, hear.). It would be as fair for him tO complain of the Secre tary for Ftireign Affairs for having made his motion of yesterday with a view to embarrass him (Mr. Brovvnlow.) Having thus attempted to excuse him self with the two parties—one who thought him bold in bringing forward such a question at all, and the other who thought him lukewarm, because he had not introduced it before—he would proceed to dis charge, as well as he was able, the duty which he had taken upon himself. It had reached his ears, and he believed correctly, that when the Hon. Mem ber for Cavan made hi; motion for the production of certain papers, it was imputed to hid; that he brought it forward under the smart of party disappointment, and actuated by - party politics. He (Mr. B.) was sure that the Hon. Member for Cavan did not deserve such an imputation. For his own part, he declared that he was actuated by no such motives; he dis claimed them altogether. If this. question were of that negative character, that the public could be in different to the issue of it ; if it possessed no intrinsic merits, no features peculiar to itself calculated to ex cite alarm to the friends of political freedom, perhaps it might be fair to look about for extraneous motives to assign for agitating it. But he (Mr. Brownlow) claimed, by the courtesy of the House, to be pro tected from the imputation of all motives, save only those which should be discernible on the course he should pursue. If he should evince in what he did an unworthy spirit, he knew he should meet with the prompt reprobation of the House. The question he had to lay before them was no less a one than this— Will the House of Commons allow an Attorney-Ge neral to place himself in the stead of the Grand Jury, and dispense with that which the law has ordained, viz. that no man shall be questioned by the King in the matter of any criminal accusation, unless the Grand Jury of his country have said that it is a mat ter probable and true. He begged to impress upon the House before Whom he spoke, that if that night the conduct of the Attorney-General for Ireland was screened from blame, the next day the English At torney-General might come down to that House, armed with the same authority, and prepared to draw the sword against the liberties of the country (Hear, hear).—He had read in Tacitus, that when Agricola meant to subdue England, he•saw the utter imprac ticability of such an achievement unless Ireland was first enslaved.—Lt velui e conspeotu iibertas toileretur.' —(Cheers).—Such might be the intention of an Eng lish Government at the present moment (Hear, hear). It might be the intention of those who governed England to commence slavery and subjugation in Ireland, in order that the stream of tyranny should flow from the extremity of the empire to the bo som of this country—(Hear, kaar).—He would ask every Gentleman who heard him, how he would like to be placed ou his trial under the circumstances he would have to relate ? It would, be apprehended, be litde satisfaction to him to be discharged by the Petty Jury, when his name had been branded bytri minality, and after being harassed in mind, and op pressed by the expenses to which he was put to de fend himself from an unwarrantable charge.

Upon the merits of that outraged every friend to the Constitution.
