HOUSE OF LORDS. TUESDAY, JAN. 27. This day, shortly after three o'clock-, tne3.orel Chancellor, %%lib the Lord Archbishop of .Cau.trbnry, the F.Ail of liar_ USA Earl of Westmorland, and the Doke of Montrose, as Lords Commissioimos,•entso , ed the Hung; and as soon as the House of Cainuiviss, attended by their :Speaker, in conse quence or the 'bawl stimmons, appeared at the bar, his Lord ship read this Speech as follows: " MY LORDS, and f;s: wr tern% " We are commanded by his Royal highness the Prince Regent to inform you, that it is with great concern that he is obliged to an nounce to you the continuance of his Majesty's lamented inthspo siiion. The Prince Regent is pLrsuaded that you will deeply participate in the affliction with which his Royal Highness has been signed, by the calamitous and untimely death of his beloved and only child the Princess Charlotte. ".Under this awful dispensation Elf :Providence, it has beena sooth ing eansolatien to the Prime Regent's heart, to receive from hit dc ►criptions of his Majesty's subjects the most cordial assurances, both of their just sense of the loss which they have sustained, and of their sympathy with his pannual sorrow ; and amidst his own suffer ings, his Royal Ilighners has not been unmindful of the effect which this sad event must have on the interests and future.prospccts of the kingdom. We arcvsmmanded to acquaint you, that the Prince Regent continues to receive from Foreign Powers the strongest asotranres of their friendly disposition towarde.this country, and of their ((Loire to maintain the general tranquillity. •• Ills Royal Highness hzis•thr.rati,filetion of bvir.g able to assure you, that the confidence which lit has invariably fat in the stability of the great SOUreed ef our national prosperity has nut been disap pointed. 'f itrimprovement which has taken place in the course of the last year drialmost everyibranch of our domestic industry, and the ire sent atate.of public credit, atFord abundant proof that the difficulties under which the country was labouring were chiefly to lie ascribed to temporary causes. "'So important a change could noefail to withdraw frem the dis affected the principal means of which they bad availed themselves for the purpose of fomenting a spirit of discontent, whisk unhappily led to acts of insurrection and treason ; and his Royal fligline-s enter tains thetaest confident expectation.dud•the state of pence and tran quility to which the country is now restored, will be maintained against all attempts to disturb h, by the persevering vigilante of the Magistracy, and by thcloyalty and good sense of the pcopk. GINTLEMEN OF THE HOOSk: OF COWNION4. '‘• The Prince Reneut has directed the estimates-for the current year to i.e laid betnee you. " His Royal Higlinessrecommends to your continued smarm the state of the public income and expenditure Ithe country; and lie i 4 most happy miming able to acquaint you, that since you were last as . embled Parliament, the revenue has been in a state of progres else illip_rovemnet in its must important branches. sty Loans, AND GENTLEMEN, " Wcare commiusded by the Prince Regent - to inform you, that helias concluded treaties wit:a the Courts of Spain and Portugal, on the important subject of she abolition of -the slavegrade. -" His Royal I I ighness has directed that a copyof theforiner treaty shall be immediaoily laid .before you, and he will order a similar communication to hp made of thclatter treaty, as soon Lithe ratifica tion of it shall have been exchanged. • " In these negeeiations, it has been his Royal . Highnesses endea vour, as far as eireuenutanem would permit, to give .effect to the re commendations contained in the joint Aeldressesof the two Houses of Farlimnent, and his Royal Highness hese full reliance on your rm. to adopt sueh measures as may be necessary for fulfilling the engagements into which helm entered for that porpom. " The Prime Regt has commanded us to direct your particular attention to the defi ciency which has long existed in the number • of places of public worship belonging to the listeiblished Church. when compared with theincreesed and Licreartingipsipulation of she COOT-Wt. " His Royal Highness most earnestly recommends this important subject to your early consideration, deeply impressed, as he has no doubt year are, with a just sense of the massy blessings which this country,by the. favour of Divine Providence, has enjoyed; and with the convictian,that the Ire)' ctias and moral habits of the people are the most sure turd firm foundation of national prosperity." Earl WHITWORTH took the oaths and his seat. Their Lordship then adjourned till five o'clock. When they again assembled, Lord HOLLAND rose to say a few words on the act passed last session of ilarliarrient for the suspension of the act of Habras<Cormis. He did treat and hope, that the Noble ,Lord or-some of his Majesty's Ministers, intended to move the re peal of that Act, as a kind of act of grace, after they sad so wantonly end so unnecessarily suspended co great a puttee . tion of the freedom of the subject. The leading topic of the speech which their Lordships had heard, WAS one eu which no man in that House could hold any but one opinion ; and every man, he was sure, would concur with him in lamenting the occasion of that topic's having been introduced. The Earl of l.resieroot said, that if the Noble Lord had waited till the due course of business, he would have heard what.would certainly take place during the evening. .If lie had waited till that subject was more immediately tinder con sidecation,'he would have heard his Noble Friend make a proposition exaetly•sueh as the Noble Lord himself wished. ADDRESS TO THE PRINCE BEG ENT. ".; The Earl of ATl:l;;;;tp,i;;;;;l4:Thea;;;FACdress, de plored the kw which the.eountry had sustained in the death of her Royal Highness the .Priucess.Charlotte. He glanced at the diliealties which the country had had to contend with, and reloieed that the preseut aspect of affairs was more . gratifying. Lord Setanv seconded the motion. He dwelt upon the topics of the speech at some length, and congratulated the country on the escape whin,' we had had from all the hot roe, of anarchy. Earl Szarrisorit began .by averting his independence in po. litics, and by dcrreeatiug all ay►teutatic opposition to the . government. He thought • the measures which had been adopted to fuppren% the tumults which had arisenin the coun try had teen mast effectual, and that the atiministratian •with.gveutability, steered the vessel of the state itesittety through a most dangerous storm. He mutilated at some length the arguments of those who had • coat-ended, that the Allies. had no Tight to interfere iu the internal affair* of France , but he would•say, that as the Allies • had twice conquered France, they had a sight to dispoee of her as they thought lit. Fur his part, he was a!' apittion that the best mode of treat thug her, would haveireen to divide her istaerevieer parts, anti •create new dynasties upon the newly minted thrones. A• things were..towever; he was decidedly arf opinion, that Loins XV,ll4.•wod.his present eststence, er.mleing. to time .81.1ses of she, Allies, and us, the peeceatfliitimyre depended om that et Praire?, ime ••wommiti strueglycppose the witheleawiugerf the army Of occupation.

There were pious in the Address to which he timid -not concurrence, although he did 11. t intend to move 'tiny amentlineat. 14e meant those parts which itu ylietl a doubt that tie tranquillity of the country could have been restored by less violent means 'Mire the Saspeusion of Ihe 1 ittheaA Corpus Act.

The Fail of •Liv Enron'. defended the course which minis ie. e hail pursued, on the ground that their Lordships' repot t and subset; ne nt information, hail showed that the state of the eninatry wat..vueli as to require extraordinary means to tran quilize it. In reference to our relations aith France, his Lordship observed, that the great object of this country, was to preserve the peace of Europe, and the course which his Maiestv's Government was resolved to pursue, was stick as would most effectually accomplish thet.object.

When that do. content was! before their Lordships, it would be proper let them to deeerstiine whet-proc«Aings ought to be instituted motionhe proposed was, ut .present, the only course which could he taken. _ _ After a few wilds froin Lord Gnost'ENOß, tk ntetion ware agreed ta, aII d the .kfouse adjourned.

IMPEAL OF THE SUA'ENSION (HP THE HABEAS CORPUS. Lord RtnesouTit presented a Hill for repealing the Act passed its the last session of Parliament, to empower bia Ma ;icons, to acme and detain persons suspected of ronopiring against his Majesty's person and government.—The Bill was then read a first time. After which, on Lord Sidrootith's motion, the standing order, No. 36, relative to the.prugress of public Lilts was read and suspected. His Lordship next moved the second reading of the Bill he had introduced for repealing the Habeas Corpus Sitspeu sion Aet. Lord Hot:Leen, though lie certainly did not rise to oppose the motion, could not avoid sayiug a few words on the Air ,stentatances which had led to.it. Believing, as be elid,.that list whole of their Lordships' proceedings iu.pasiting the Act for sospendiug the Malmo' Corpus had iteetedspon garbled and unfair (madame, be must state-that/he cooldalot be-tatis led with the inereiepeel of.that Act, and that he taught an iimqairy into the .grounds onwhiohlibbad been passed ought to he. nstituted. The right which bail been *expended, he wished to remind them, was not one which had been granted by any Act of .Parliament whatever. The personal liherty of the.people was 'to concession. It was a right antecedent to any statute, and eqnal to the right of their Lordships to vote in that Mouse, or to the right of the King to tit on the throne. He did not mean to say that there was any ahsolute limitation to the power of Parliament on this subject, when circumstances rendered such a stretcher power lodispensible.; bat he did say, that to suspend this eight of the people was an act of as great violence as to suspend the perogatives of the Crown, and coaldsely be justified by the clearest evidence of the moat overwhelming necessity. Where was any dis turbance or conspiracy to be found that could justify such a immure? It was not to be found in any of the legal proceed iags which had taken place in this metropolis or even at Derby. Did it appear is any of the proceedings which bad taken place in Scotland? A dreadful oath,au oath which was not it to be publicly stated, it was said, had beets taken in la that country. Ministers, it was aserted, bad the fullest evidence of a most extensive.compiraey, bet whietsevidenee they did not choose to disclose. Well, their Law Officers proceeded to try these conspiratory and atb-takers is lftcor land. At first, their indictment .was wrong.; a new iadiet wont was preferred; but, after all, they failed in proviwthat any illegal oath had been taken. Nome of these proceedings Worded any appearance of a necessity for the nitaaarewhich Ministers had ieconimended and which Parlianienbbad been ' induced to adopt. But the Noble Earl (Liverpool)bed dc.. dared that he• was ready to prove, not only that the measure was justified by theduate of the country at the time, but that it had been productive of the greatest advantages. ''list the country was in bettercireunistauces now than last year be was happy to believe ; hot whatever insprosement .11 41 444. e .a place, certainly was not owing to the suspenion of the Habeas Corpus Act.
