This day his Majesty proceeded to the House in state, and opened Parliament with the following Speech from the Throne •' MT LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, •' I have the satisfaction of informing you, that I continue to receive from Foreign Powers their strongest assurances of their rtiendly disposition towards this country. •• It is impossible for me not to feel deeply interested in any event that may have a tendency to disturb the peace of Europe. —My endeavours have, therefore, been directed, in conjunction w tit my Allies, to the settlement of the differences which have unfortunately arisen between the Court of St. l'etersburgh and tructuan Porte; and I have reason to entertain hopes that there• differences will be satisfactorily adjusted. l❑ my late visit to Ireland. I derived the most sincere gra tiscation from the loyalty and attachmera manifested by all z/e.:ses of my subjects. With this impression, it must be matter of the deepest c"cern to me, that a spirit of outrage which has led to daring slid systematic violations of the law has arise.i. anti still prevails in some part. of that country. " I am determined to use all the means in my power fur the protection of the persons and pmperty of my loyal and p.xceable subjects. And it will be your immediate consideration whether the existing laws are sufficient for thi; purpose. Notwithvanding this serious interruptim of public tran irailiity, I have the satisfaction of believing that my pre.ence in Island hits been productive of very beneficial effl-eis, and all des criptions of my people may confidently rely upon the just and equal administration of the laws, and upon my paternal solici tude fur their welfare. " PENTLE3IIIN Of TIIE HOESE OT COMIA,IN'S, •• It is very gratifying to me to be able to inform you, that dating the last year the Revenue has exceeded that of the year preceding, and appears to be in the mune of progressive its. prevent:mt. '• I have directed the estimates of the present year to be laid before you. They have been framed with every attention to economy which the circumstances of the country will permit; and it will be sati.sfactory to you to learn that I have been able to make a large reduction in our annual expenditure, particularly in our Naval and Military Establishments. " MY Loans AND GENTLEMEN. I have the greatest pleasure in acquainting you, t'•at a con sider..ble inirorement has taken place in the course of the last year. in the Cotnmerec anti Manufactures of the United Kingdom, and that I can now state them to be, in their important branches, in a very flourishing condition. " I must ;..t cone time deeply regret the depressed state of the Agricultural Interest. " 7 he conthti ti of an interest, so essentially connected with the oto.peii!y of the country, evil of catirt.e attract your early a:: cot ; Arid 1 have the fullest reliance on your wisdom in the consideration of this intocrtant subject. " I am persuathal. that in whatever measurer yon may adopt. you will bear constantly in mind, that in the maintenance of our public credit, all the best interes• a of thia Kingdom are equally invoEtsl; and that it is by a steady adherence to that principle that we have attained, and can alone expect to preserve our high cation anon•; the nations of the world." ♦fter his Nt:,j,..sty left the Throne. the Karl of Roden, Lord Burners, the Mntquis of Ayle:bury, Lord Sirtuldinvolc. Lord :Maryborough. Lord Newbury, and other Peers, newly created, were introdiu.sl and too': the mahr. A❑ adjournment baying taken place /luring pleasure, their Lardshipe met again at five o'. lock to proceed to business. TUE A orniEss. 11,, Lou) CHANCELLOR real tho Speech delivered by his Majesiy. and it was also read by the Clerk at the table. Lord IttlfigN then rose to move nn humble Aildrc;s to his Majisty for his gracious Speech. concurring in the different tonics brought under the view• of Parliamon. and a.sitting his Majesty of the desire of the House to give full con.ideration to ewe same. Lord GII A NE, in a low tone of voice, .cconded the motion. The Martris of LANSDOWNE said the speech rnt into the month of los Majesty by ?stinkers, adverted to Agricultural di rnts , . and air slx.ke in flattering terms of the tros;wcts of trade and eo.rmeree• lie I' ek/iCeli ill the prospect of prosperitv which opened for the merchants of this country; but he could rot seriously consider it public good, unless it would contribute to the interest of that which was the main stay of n itional pros perity. namely. ngricriltiolt. (bless the trade a'nd commerce of the codritry ssoetld restore the languid interests of the cultivator of t h e soil. he was compelled to conclude that the expected good did not rest on solid tonndation. The prospects of trade will Nerth and South America might promise some solace, and his hope was that apiculture would share the advantage. The Noble Marquis was glad to hear, for the first time in flint House, inn speech treat the throne. that reductions were to he made in txter.sive estiddi sliments. It was really satisfactory to hear that son ething mare than the promise of economy was to be ob. tiered, at the t...me time lie should wait to see to what extent it 'multi apply, Lefore i.e ?Ave his assent to the conduct of Minis. ter:. Liefare he was gratc4ll to dant for ecunorny, be expected to Lear why the plan was rot carried into execution long bcf4re. IVidi trivet to that part of the speech which related to t h e state of Lelami, every man most sincerely deplore the n&eries of that uni aipy country. Ile was ready to admit that the indivi dual at th e b ea d o f Adminhtmtion hail been juditiously selected. The case of Ireland !Mal thertiy occupy the mica:ion of Par . hiimiimmo•• liarnent, and his hope was the attention would notonly be paid to penal laws, but if it were neces,ary to give additiutuil power to the Government, lie trusted it would be power more congenial to the feelings of Ireland than penal statules. The Noble Lord concluded by declaring his general assent to the address. he Eat I of I.lvEttrool. said Inc did not feel that any parts of the Noble Marquis's speech called for explanation front hint. The Noble Earl then mak ••• itt consequence of a 03011131 1P_ Iel. lion from the head of the Irish government, I shall MOW. betute your Lordships adjourn, to lay certain despatdres on the table. The correspondence may be printed to-morrow, and so soon as copies are in the hands of your Lordship, it is the intention of his Majesty's Government to propose measures for arming the Executive Government of that country with power to meet the evil ; but l have nu difficulty in saying, that the power proposed to be given in the Executive Government of Ireland is for this Swim of Parliament only. We should not discharge our duty to the government resident in Ireland, as well as the loyal peace ful inhabitants, if we dig not give power to put down a spirit of vengeance rani outrage." Tile Address was then carried nem. die, and ordered to be presented to his Majesty in the usual form. On the motion of the Earl of Liverpool, the Earl of Shaftes bury was appointed Chairman of Committees. The Eall of LIVERPOOL then laid on the table certain dispatches from the Marquis of Wellesley, relating to the state of Ireland. The House then adjourned. WEDWESIDAY, FEB. 6. Their Lordships ant about one o'clock, after which two of the recently created peers, viz. Lords Ravensworth and Oriel, took the oath. and their seats. Their Lordships were introduced by Locus Si. Helen's and Redeadok. The LOUD CHANCELLOR stated, that his Majesty had cominuntied tam to inform the House that he would receive the address they had voted yesterday between two and three o'clock this day. Their Lordships soon after adjourned, and proceeded in the usual state to Carlton-house with the address. THUitbD - 4Y, IL6. 7. The House met at three o'clock, and Lord Cawder took the oath and hi. seat. The I)ujig of Buckingham was introduced by the Dukes of Wellin n 4to &&d Beaufort. STATE OF IRELAND. The Earl of LIVERPOOL gave notice, that it was his in tendon to move the suspension of certain standing orders of the !loose to-morrow. Tire Marquis of LANSDOWNE asked the noble Earl, whether Ire proposed to suspend the orders of the House with a s pew of passing a bill* cowg op boos mother brooch of the legislature, the object of which ass to increase the power of the Irish Government ? He was desirous of calling the attention of Lie noble Earl, at the same time, to the papers laid en the table, purporting to be a communication on the state of Ireland, trans mitted by a noble Marquis. Upon examination of those papers lie understood the urgent necessity, said to exist, for passing a measure to increase the power of the Governmenr of Ireland, did not rest upon any representation made by the Irish Government of insufficiency in the existing laws. The noble Marquis found in those papers no vestige of an opinion expressed by the Lord Lieutenant that the suspension V laws framed for the protection of slut subject should take place.; He therefore had to submit, that if any representation from the noble Marquis had been re ceived, it ought to be laid Define the House. The measure the House would be called upon to pass was of great importance, and the Lords ought to have the best parliamentary evidence before them, The noble Marquis therefore asked whether the noble Earl had any such evidence, and whether lie could produce parts of dispatches which might satisfy the House that in passing the proposed measure they were acting upon the opinion of the heads of the Irish Government? He proposed these questions, because he found on reading the pa t ters that a greater military force was necessary; but, except in one solitary instance the in surrection act was not mentioned. It might be the opinion of the Lord Lieutenant that an increase of military force was required, but there was no opinion that the rights of the people ought to be suspended, and he wished the House to have that opinion, as the best parlianientary evidence, when they were about to suspend the standing orders for the purpose of expediting a violent re strictive measure. The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, he had no difficulty in stating, that the papers received from the Government of Ire- , land justified the measure it was the intention to introduce to Parliament. He wished the noble Marquis to enquire whether it was usual to ground these measures upon documents con• raining the opinions of any at the head of Government. In passing the measure, their was no intention to extend the dun- ; non beyond the present Session of Parliament. - - • Lord ELLENBOROUGH, adverting to the papers, said it might be desirable to introduce some measure to meet the sail, without having recourse to an insurrection act. Upon the me lancholy picture in the papers, it dearly appeared that an in• crease of military force was most wanted, and it was remarkable, that during these disturbances the Yeomanry had been ca11..1 out in the North, and nut in die South of Ireland. Lord HOLLAND observed, that the Noble Earl had said it was not usual to lay before the flume the opinions of the Heads of Government ; but admitting that to be true, still the House ought to be convinced by some evidence that there was a neces sity for the mesusure. In the Papers there was proof of the necessity for additional military force, but no moot of the want of additional power, suspending ie Civil laws. The noble Earl had described the intend: it measure to be like military law, and lie had no hesitation in saying military law should only be adopted in the last extremity. If military law was to be wrung from Parliament, the noble Baron at least expected that the opinion of the Irish government ought to be given in support of the measure. Ile expeaial the noble Eart would supply all the documents, recollecting that he had brought himself under the painful necessity of recommending a frightful measure, twen:y years atter the Union. Lord KING supposed that the measure was to be introduced upon the responsibility of the Irish Government, but in case no opinions were given, there could be no responsibility. The Earl of LI VEISPOOL then moved, in addition to his first motion, that the Loyd* be summoned for to-morrow, to consider the propriety of suspending the standing orders. Lord ELL E N BOROUGH said, it was extraordinary to sum. mon the Lords to suspond the standing orders, with reference tJ the passing of a Bill, when they did not know: that such a Bill wood reach the Home. The Eat lof LIVERPOOL replied, that the order fur sum. moning their Lordships might be discharged to-morruw, and fixed for another day, to Case die Bill was not br:iight up. _ The motion was then agreed to, end the Han enomonwl for to.morrow.—Atijournetl. FRIDAT. WM 8. Mr Dawcs from the Crown Office, Ireland, peenneel the lr turn of the two Representative of Ireland in dla tlsss dthsb>ta Lord Tyrawley and theism Marquis of . AGRICWI/RAL D Lord DACRE. adminft the 'state of A picul observed, thee mho Mil was made on the subjsst s be abode AR *AA May Is give anise of an early motion en rbe subjeet. The Earl of LI VIII'OOL said. s aside Mend in the Apr House of Parliament had given soda of hie Wooden es Weir the subject forward, and it would be best to suspend the coon. deration tin this House until his noble friend's swam in the Commons is disposed of. Lord SOMERS presented a petition from Wisbach, in the Isle of Ely. praying fur relief under agricultural distresses. The petition was read, and laid on the table. STANDING ORDERS. The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, as it was uncertain whether there would be any bill brought from the Commons this day, it was due to the noble Lords to prevent the inconvenience of sitting in the House with no business before them; he should therefore • move to discharge the order for summoning them to meet this day for the discussion upon the propriety of suspending the Standing Orders, and give the same notice for to-morrow. If the bill expected should be on the table to-morrow, it was his inten. tion to proceed to business. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said it was unusual to discuss any measure of importance on Saturday; but if there was necessity for passing the expected bills, he expressed a hope that the House would be well attended. The order of the day was then discharged, and the:Lordssurri moned for to-morrow. The House then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS• TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5. .. ....
