Mr. HES ETT said he held in his hand a Petition, signed by 6,0110 vers:tns residing in the cunt); y of and that among the .ignatures were many Ma gistrates and other respectable per.ons.

'I he one CUM. plained of want of employment, and suffering great distres.e. in consequence of the extended use of ma chltwry ; and the agricultural labourers complained, that even when they could obtain employmete, their wages were not sathcient to ttuaint.tia thentselvol and families without parochial relief. '1 he Hon. Member Laid, he wished to impress upon the House, that there was nothing like a radical feeling atrung these poor nu disposition to hold meetings, or to encou rage any thing like sedition or piditical ferment. They wore peaceable, well disposed towards the tioverninent, and patient under their sufferings. He, therefore, hoped that their petition would be favourably received, and that some means might be adopted fur relieving extreme distress, He then brought up the pe tition, wh: , •fi was read. lte.blea the statements mole by tie Met Mertst.r. those of the petitioners, who were journey:tie:l manutbcturers, noticed, among their other hardship., that of their being prevented by laws (ruin eeekinz entploymen: in any foreign country. — Ordered to lie on the table, and to he printed.

DHOITS Or THE CDOWN AND ADDIIR•LTY. Mr. WU WilM.l3l said, that in rising to bring before the House the very importat.t subject of which he had given notice, as well as of the Civil List which was connected with it, he assured them it was far from his intention to trespass inure upon their time than was absolutely necessary towards explaining the different pints to which he should advert. Ile trusted the House would believe him, when he declared that in bringing forward this question, it was nut a business of his uwn seeking. When the same question was under consideration in the year I `.12, he then tuld his Ma jetty's Ministers that he should at some future period call the at:ention of the Muse to it, in case they omitted to satisfy the public on the subject in the ar rangements they were making. At that Cane be ex pressed an anxious wish that the 31inisters themselves might bring forward sonic pro?osit;un which would have a better chance of being beneficial to the public than any thing that could hate conic frutn him. He also declared that it was equally foreign to his intention to suggest any thing to the House from which it might supposed that his object was to curn;iass the degrada tion of th.. Royal state and dignity, or to curtail any of thus.* rights which properly belonged to the Crown; for the interest of the nation required thatthe Monarch should be maintained in his just dignity and splendour. If in former times it was criminal to deprive the Cr..wn of what was essential to its security, to its power, and to the peace, the tranquillit:; anti good government of the realm, it would be equrav criminal to make such an attempt in times like these; fur the pet sent wire not times to tamper with the security or our constitutional establishments. He always color tiered it to be safe sad expedient not hi dearade the Crown ; but to coot mu to the principles, and steer with in the strict grounds of the Constitution. In what he had now to state to the House, he stculd steer within thine limits. here was no occasion fur hass to enter into an ex act accou .t of all the poi n ts which were connected with this suhjert ; hr shiftild only pro ceed to show that some such arrangement as that to waieh he alluded, was called fur in the present situa tion of the country. It was an established maxim, and a maxim that had been sanctioned by the greatest anA • must constitutional lawyers of this country. that the • Crown was incapable of posseming st srpdratr prop !lay s • and that no property which halberd to the Coosell: could be consiticeld as the priaate property of any it dividital Suaereigo. Origiaally, the ft loge 'cf - Pant lead were supposed to possess all the lands of the kieg; dim. and to be held by the Monarch NA itt.ra Co eye-. But it never WAS considered that any Monarch had a rialtt to appropriate those lands to his own private uses. Even when a private individual 'wired of let& in Lis own private right. should afte-wards beeon,e the tight of thosa lands erased with his power, and the lands became the lands of the Crowe. Such was the ease With the Duke of Lancaster, wh , was seired of lands In his own right; but when he I 'calve Mao, those lands belottged to the Crown, and were no !mare the private property of the Monarch. If a statute gave !ands to the Crown, they could only he held by the So vereign in right of the Crown. This was a point set clearly laid down by the laws of this cotint , v, that there could I eno doubt upon it. lie eliould star an in stance in support of this ; rittriple. WheriJames I. gave to the Earl of Devonshire certain old stores, which were considered to be the treasures of the Crown, it wee held that be could not convey away that property by hi• sign manual. When the executors of the ;:ati Devonshire claimed this property, the Judges. to whom it had been referred, crave it as their opioian that these old stores were the treasures of the Crowe —that they were the ligaments of p. are, the sinews of war, and intended fur the ptotecti tttt of the realm; and that dry should go to the successor of the King ; or in other words, that they were the property of t!.e Crown ; and they held that the only warrant by whiz that treasure could be possessed by a pavate Was a warrant under the great tiv.ll and Pci•y St-al. This was the opinion of that pre:mind lawee. I Lord Coke, and all the other keral an;h •rities staged in the same opinion. He should mention arother case. Lord Ashley had obtained emir; the sien ma nual at the King (Charie4 IL) yeti:tin prizes which had hem' takes from the Latelt ; u; en which Lurd Clarendon remonstrated with the [sine he told him that if such a trensactien could be all .wed to take place, his Majesty might be abominably cozened by persons who would seek for grants of Ono kind; and that there was no way he which they could be made except by the great :cal, or Privy Seal. When Lord lshley remonstrated against this opinion of lanai Cla rendon, that great and coustitotionol Judge was nut more courtaous to him that to his Sovereien. for he told him that it was an unnatural privilege ; and that Lord Ashley might live to repent the die he had takes the grant. These cases. with others which might be quoted, clearly proved that nu Linn of England bad any property which was not the property of the Crown. A great Inroad, however, bed besot nude upon this principle of our law and Constitution ; and he was sorry to say it was one of a recent date. It wrs made he Mr. Pitt in the year 1799, when, fur the first time. an Act wits passed wider enabled the King to 1 1 (.41 with his lands and chattels, just as if they w er e h:s o w n private property. All the principles of the (animals tion were completely upset by this enactment ; and alter this. gentlemen talked of the dignity of the Crown! What w told I ord Coke ant Lord Clarendun have void to such a law, which, by cu.:Mato the Sove reign to dispose of his lands and !tools, w;nt to put him on the footing of any common intlithinal!—a law he which he might if he chose give away the property of the Crown to favourite., o even to enemies, con trary to the policy and constitutional principles of the country. But what would they have said if they beard that a still further step had been taken tower Is lessening the dignity of the Monarch. By the same -nacttnent, powers were given to the wing to possess eoprould estates—to hold these male: his own sub jells. After this, world Gentlemen of the dig , nice of the Crown? As to the partienl ir funds which should be the object of the present inquiry, he would not proceed sa far as to deity that a compensation ought not to be naide for what might he talten away ; but he would maintain that on every prarciple of law the right to them did nut exist. In am lent tinirs it was well known that out of the lands of the Crown the Suvereigne were obliged to inaiosin their splen dour. But iu those days of whirl' he- spoke, wh.-n certain, defined revenues were granted to the Crown, they were not given for the personal pleasures of the King. No, they were Oared under h:s diteetion tot the special purpose of providing fur the expeaces of his government. To support this assertion, he mil cite one or two authorities—it it'd, ed the antheray of any one were uecessery to produce belief to a propo sition so obvious. Lord Coke said, that wrecks moat rest in the Crown, because somebody must have the right of claiming them, and as no owner ...old be found, it followed es necessitate rei that they belonged to the Msg. The great lawyer, )14.11ever, went ut, to remark that there were aothisfaies against toot Isle ' trine, although he himself enterta i ned no doubt epos I t h b e e subject, w itec hi a c u h m th h e e ii k i ne g w ,; t e h r a iv t . ei i i n t zf u lll a w a ns i a me ti ta ci e n „ for era, be was bound to keep the narrow seas clear from pirates. This teas the reason which had been ur rni fur vesting the owaership in the Crown, ied so the k,
