'flee Earl ui LIVER POOl, said. in propoeing an answer to his Majesty's neat gracious Message, he was wady to admit the course to he proposed for adoption was unprecedented. but at the same time he called upon the Henna. to wankel there could be no precedent for the existing state of the cauntiy. Tney were nut placed in the situation where the Crown hal devolved from one lieu to another without any othe: intervening cireunistedice, but where die lilustrious Person. who had carried un die tit). vernment for a number of years. was called to carry it on in his o wn moue. instead of the name and in beh alf of Iris Sueeteign. The opemtiou of the dallier of the Crown was however just as good in law as under any other circumstaaces. lie wished the Lords to look to the act MOO enforced the Diseoltition of Par liament. By the ancient law of the land Parliament expired with &demise lit the Crown. Ibis Lordship was aware that the act passed at another period a our history was to prevent 'dis putes in the succession, and it required the Parliament to meet n the demise of the Crown, but there were many Otellnlistalte.e.ll which might wake it inexpedient tor Parliament to continue sitting. The Act of William only required, as It were a ballUi. IMICUttb meeting of Parliament. The King had the power of dissolving it at pLaeure. The Noble Earl did not see any reason why the custom ot proceeding to business should be Watered to. The time which the present Parliament could possibly last would not be eultiatie fur the due consideration of the important bu siness which must come under diseussitm. The Noble Earl con cluded by moving an Address, stating. that as the melancholy event of the Math et his late Majesty imposed the necessity of summoning a new Parliament, the House of Lords begged have to thank hie Majesty for taking into cuosidenuion the public bueiness, and that they most readily concurred in adopting such Ulelibtlftllls might be necessary in the event of calling a new Pa:lament immediately.

They were to assist the Sovereign to get rid of themselves. But what was the OM made out fur this extraordinary proceeding ? The Noble Marl appeared to feel inconvenience in going to inquiry upon velum important matters at this seam in the year. It woe the period at winch they usually met for discussion. The principal question was. whether the dignity of the crown and the interest of the people required this Uleallitires He was of opinion no use of necessity. justifying . a deviation nom precedent. was made out The Noble Masques cited the accession of Queen Ann. George the First, George the Masud, and his late Majesty. In all Mire laminas Parintuient. ma wordy after the demise. and proceeded to discuss the Civil I.lsl. The continuance ot Parliament. on the present oesseitin, was peculiarly necessary, in order to take into coneideration the circumstance of the state of the country. The Earl of li ARRO Win" coosideredMenthers ofParlianient and the Country agitated by the expectation of a General Elec tion, and on that account unfit to attend to public business. It was almost inmeseible, if the present parliament continued sitting, that they could bring the business to a conclusion within die time limited kw the duration of parliament. The additional Military Force would be considered in the Mutiny Bill. Earl GROSVENOR strongly objected to the proposed fibs*. lotion. He called qua the Noble Lords to consider how unwise it would be to continue an unnecessary army five years after peace. when the country was bending under distress.—Wlutt was it to be kept for ? Was it to support die arbitrary Government of Spain, where the subjects were struggling to obtain a free Con stitution. Mitch had, been promised by their Sovereignin the inotr.ent of:adversity'? Was it to support die Government of France ? Was it to check insurrection in this country ? By the glorious Acts of Parliament lately p a / b ed. the moody had been restored to a minipill state, and therefore an armed force was wineetuisary. It , ma was the additional torn preserved for ? It must be to support the influents of Ministers.
