The Report was then read, and ordered to be takes ill* consideration to-morrow. STATE OF IRELAND. The Marquess of LONDONDERRY rose, in ;Iran &ice of a notice which he had given on a former night, to call the attention of the House to that part of his Ma jesty's Speech, which referred to the present int e r nal state of Ireland. and be was sure that they would be lieve Min . :sincere, when he assured them that be hail never risen to perform a duty with more painful feel ings than be experienced on the present occasion. He had certainly hoped. when be recollected bow Ireland heil conducted herself oiler, years in very trying cir eomstaneesi, that they would be spared the nirdaticholy knowledge that a spirit of insubordination existed there which could only be pot down by the strong hand of dnstice, nod by laws treated to protect all classes, by repressing disorder. The task he had to perform was additioually painful to him on other grounds, He regret ted that it had not fallen to the lot of his Right Hon. Frieed,wheAreas more immediately connected with the A d. ntlnistration of Ireland than himself, and lie could not give b more cbbrillcine proof that Ise undertook it from a segment imperious duty, than be should offer when he tinted that not merely his friends in the Administration on this side .of the wider had requested him to do so, but. those who were charged with the Administration Or ilsoland. bad written to him not to delay bring iog It foment ' , even till the Secretary of State' 11" the Home 'Department, and the Chief Seam tory fur Ireland, could arrive. Under these cis'. erosionen he threw himself on the indulgence of toe House, while be entered epos the painful duty *MA might have been better di sch arged by those more ire inediately respoasible for the state of Ireland. He was moved to the attempt by every principle of duty, of po licy, and, he might add, by every principle of order and fleecy, to repress with the least passible delay, thole 14 beiliors which had unhappily demanded the 'retries ilf . lbeveransent. He begged to elabn the particular las didgeoesof the House on the grounds which lee had users timed. The nature of the subject heist of necessity 11. 4s highest degree painful to his feelings,he should ow 1:: 41 1 i lmself as much as possible in first stating to the 1 1 the substance of the measure which he felt it ne cessary to propose; he should then state the grounds spas which be called upon Parliament to sanction measures ; .and lastly be should state the pro duration which they were intepded to have. to b ; e was anzions to proceed upon every princP pie of pigmy towards . the wretched and deluded people who Save 'embarked In the horrible system of oettagn ',of which Ireland wag now the scene.

These Acts, upon fernier occasions; ;rnever in force for so short a period. eline to which the one was limited, at the oa certain of the Manchester conspirecies, was three Foam. With regard to the Insurrectlita Act, he feared that there would still remain a necessity for continuing At in force, when the attention of Parliament was again' called to this unfortunate subject. It was scarcely to be expected, even in case the rebellions state of the country should have been 'oppressed, that the country coold have subsided into that state of tranquillity in -which it could be left without some extra power being vested in the laws. The Noble Lord now at the head .of the Administration its Ireland, had been most active since his residence in that country in re-organizing- the system of police, and endeavouring to place the civil power in each a state of e ffi ciency as, in conjunction with the means recommended, would render the increase of the military force unnecessary. The bills which he was about to move for leave to bring in, would be li ctieted to six months, to expire on the Ist of August next, unless necessity should arise for renewing them at the expiration of that period. It was of the very first importance that no delay should be allowed in pied: icgsome measures for remedying the unhappy state into which Ireland had fallen. They were not without pre cedents fo: passing mestere, for the suppression of re bellion et a single silting. He confessed, that when he cease down to the House, be was disposed to suggest a similar.conrse upon the present occasion. Since that, however, he had come to the resolution of proposing that the Bills should only be advanced to the third read leg, and then to pass the other stages and forward them to the House of Lords, and bring them into action as rattle as possible in the ensuing week. He had now the melancholy task of adverting to the grounds upon which these measures were rendered urgently necessary. Prom the official papers laid before the House, it was impos sible not to dean the conclusion that Ireland ,vas in se tepi and open rebellion. The contents of the two last deininents confirmed the existence of a widely extended conspiracy and rebellion in the southern counties of Ire law& Most earnestly did he Dope that the wisdom of Parliament might render it of short duration. He trested that the measures which he had the honour of submit. ting to the House would be found adequate to the task of convincing the deluded people of the iniquity of their crimes, and of bringing them back to that dutiful and siffiniissive conduct which alone could expiate them. He could only expect the return of order and tranquil lity, by investing in the hands of envenom -tit, those ex tepded powers which were necessary to crush the rebel lion before it assumed a still more formidable character. , They were bound, without loss of time, to place the saute . pay era in the hands of the Marquess Wellesley whirls • had been granted to his predecessors in that high office which hr now filled, under circumstances of a similar -'nature to that which now demanded them. Whatever might be the enormity and horriblecharacter of :he out , ogee. now committing in Ireland, there was at least , ,some consolation in knowing that they did nut originate . front religious or political sources. -They did not bear the characteristics which marked those principles of re '''sletunee in.general in other parts of the world,—(llear. hear, from the Opposition.)—lle repeated that he was glad to believe that.this rebellion slid not hear the character isoic.of ether rebellions. This rebellion was, indeed, founded upon resistance to th:.

It was la, netiellien against all the principles of tiovernmeit . , which held erreiety together. It was a rebellion acalbsr .-. 411 law, social order, and morality, Directed by Ont invisible power, whether ender the lisle of Captain Rock, or any other. he cared ant, it dictated restnes and calamities which disgraced mankind. It proscribed the THE honest portion of the lower daises,• foi and,go_inl habits , and the higher orders fot their charm- 1 ter and riches. It endeavoured to deter the upright from dischsrging eheir.iluty. even when,called upon is * Court of Justice. Ran the Magistracy were sacrificed as victims, for the performance of their official otenpm lions. It was a rebellion of the deluded, idle, and.pro fiigate. against every thing that was valuable in society. It was a rebellion stained by all the most cruel and ferocious crimes. Upon these grounds it was that be was driven to the lamentable necessity of coming to Parliament for that interned power which would be placed in the hands of the executive Government, by the passing of the Bills which lie was about to propose. He had said that there was nothing political or religions. in the character of this rebellion; but be would caution the House against implying any security from that cir cumstance. Who could say, lithe House should permit a delay In putting down this insurrection and treasea, for treason it also was, how long it should remain with out the aggravation of both those characteristics. He listened with great attention to what was said by the Right Honourable Baronet opposite (Sir J. Newport) a a recent occasion, because the .Right Honourable Baronet knew Ireland well, and wished well to its true interests. From what then fell from him, be was not disposed to anticipate any objection in that quarter to the measures which he was submitting to the Howe. If, however he had misunderstood the sentiments of the Right lion. Baronet, the House would most liltekbeee the benefit of his views upon the questiota. The Right lion. Baronet had admitted the necessity of °Waive measures, but at the same time he made some allusion to the adoption of a conciliatory course in tionjusetia with them. Now be (the Noble Marquess)must protest against this principle altogether. Nothing could be more fatal to the object they bad in view than vieldiog any thing like concession to these deluded people, while they remained in opposition to the laws of their coun try. This was not the time for conciliation; the only object which ought to agrees their attention at the present moment was. the stagger sad exigency of these horrid outrages, and the Imperative necessity of crush ing them at once. They most now be occupied with discussing the system of Government in Ireland, or the various causes which *ere assigned by individuals, as producing the dreadful state into which that country was plunged. There could not possibly exist a more fatal principle thin that of fin .ling oat to as in surgent people the slighteet notion of any alteration in the governinelt or the laws. By such a line of proceeding, the House would be holding out the most direct premium to future insurrectionary move watt. And whatever enormities they committed new. the instruments of soother rebellion might be expected to go still further with their crimes and their atrocities. This was horrible enough, without having the prospect cowdlently before tbeir.eyes of succeeding ones marked by atrocities of a still deeper die. This rebellion went &IMO) , to the extent of secret combinations for dividing lands, advising upon property which produced more thou a ter Wu loathe. It was intact a rebellion of mur al/ eed-pfeider, carried on by invisible agents, who trewhl Weer* to make Ireland the sanest future inser t ei* oil lawless outrage, if any thing wens conceded 'ppm Ihe present °testate e.

The time for toncillitory memlores, and griattion into the •cesiesiof the distress which err tlefeted is Ireland. would be when HO *Mlle had returned to a state of obedience to the laws. All politi cal or religiose topics should heintspeetied in dm peewit time of danger and alarm. Thy Cat - Voile Bede; ea a former similar occasion, acted its*. dontlY. and temperately, abstained (rote brlegihn their cliimslselbri the Parliament. He wee confident that they would Ow pursue tbe same line of conduct; for the existaa of these disturbances must hare the caret, if no other cause operated. of rejection for their claim. With regard to conciliation, as far as it was practicable without involv ing them in concession to the insurgents, he thought that the delay in bringing the subject before Parliament was the greatest pledge of a conciliatory disposition which the Government could afford. Government had waited anxiously end very patiently with the hope that the disturbances might be suppressed without the ne cessity of making the present application to Parliament. The military forces were increased, but they were found to he inadequate to the object. They could not drive the insurgent* fromtlieir fastnesses ; and in ose instance they discovered • camp where they had been formed, and in which they . had left various martial implements.— From the Special Commission much had been expected. But its labours produced no permanent effect. The No ble individual who presided over the Irish Government, was most anxious to ameliorate* the condition of the people of Ireland, and to attach them more closely to the House of Hanover ; ail he (Cord Wellesley) was of opinion that the surest method of accomplishing that object, was to enforce a due obedience to its authority, and to the institutions which were supported under its sway. From this conviction lie was prepared to take the responsibility of administering these laws, if the Parlia ment, in its wisdom, should think fit to enact them. It was with the most painful feelings that be bad to min- 1 municate to the House, intelligence of the commission of fresh outrages, exceeding in their bloody and ferocious character, those described in the papers then in the hands of Members. (The Noble Marquess here describ- ed the attack and murder of the pcticeinen, given in THE STATESMAN of Wednesday.) It was to lie remarked that all these outrages were committed in the night, and that the object of the Bills was to make personssespon sible for not being in their houses at the proper tine for retirement and rest. He trusted lie should not be called on for any further information, which induced the head of the Irish Government to consider thelhispention of the Habeas Corpus Art necessary. He believed it was common for the House to place so much confidence in the Ministers of the Crown. in all cases of great public exigency, as not to require trout them the information on which they acted upoa their omen responsibility. He was happy that his M ,Jesty's visit to Ireland hail' been attended with that expression of attarliment and affec tion on the part of the people. which was so gratifying td all Irishman's I earl. That visit hail produced a de gree of union whereelie fievcest division had previously existed.

NEWPORT began by claim/lag the indulgence of the House, whirl, he had much soorocausi to ask than the Noble Lotd. However painful. also, might be the subject to the Noble Lord, it was not less so to him. No one could have a higher opinion thin he had of the spirit. talents, anti ability attic Noble Lord, who was now appointed to the tioverninest of Ireland. It was to him mod painful to admit the necessity of coec.' clan to pat down the existing disturbances; bed at the sane time. It was satisfactory to bins to know4 gh hat ho at least had no participation 1k the measures /laced them. The blame of that must attach to Ne C jesty's Ministers. To elucidate this, he begged to mom/ that the Clerk should read a motion iron the Journals of the House, dated June 17. 1817. The Clerk read the Motion, which was one for an En- quiry into the state of Irelsod. . The Right Hon. Baronet (in continuation) said, that the Teller upon the negative of that motion was the Se cretary of State for the Home Department (Mr. Peel.) — (Hear, bear.)—lf the proposed enquiries had hoes made at that period, the present measures would lot hate been callad for, for the existing evils would have heat prevented.—(Hear.)—How thou could the Governamot who negatived that proposition comedown to the House ' to ask for powers of such a description as those which should be granted by the enactment of these Bills. He knew that Ireland now required coercive measures; hot he differed from the Nobfi Lord as to the nature of those measures. The disturbances was altogether an connected with the Cousti tution, and heves not disposed t • give t hem any connection with it, by &speeding its vary spirit. lie was disposed to plasma!' oonfisieneein the Mar guess of Wellesley, but timer was nothipg is the dmpatches which expressed the opinion of that Nobleman as to the necessity of the proposed measures. The Noble Lord hadmissnderstood hint if he supposed him to desire the mixing up of coercive and conciliatory measures at the pretreat period. He was unhappily convinced that no thing but severity would bring back the people to their duty. But instead of granting these in and vest ing such powers in the local magistrates, be would in crease the military power. The papers of which the House were in possession, contained no statements span which the proposed measures appeared to be aecessary. Th. Insurrection Aet provided, that any man (mod out' of his house after son -set, and before sootier. nader any pretext —any occupier of a house being timed &bigot from it at those periods,—any penes imposing or taking unlawful oaths, were liable to transportation. Aid that not i.y the verdict of a Jury — (!tear. hear)—hut by the direction of Magistrates. It was impossible to say that Inch a law could be placed epos the Statute hook. with out the moat pressing exigency being proved to exist.— As to the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act, he would ask the Noble Lord when it bad been enforced without gronnds, very different from those which existed in the present case.. The Noble Lord had deprecated any move ments at this period, of those who supported the Cacho he claims. Now, he being one of a party who at all times had declared that the only true basis upon which the tranquillity and kappioess of Ireland could be esta blished, was an equalization of civil rights amongst all classes of its people, be could not be expected to sub scribe to the doctrine which the Noble Lord had ad vanced—(hear, hear.)--But let it not be conceived that `in the remotest degree he could countesanee the eon dict of those wretched mem who west involving their country in destruction. To do orctrisold be doing the greatest injustice to blamellm4blia i ftleods. He did not differ with the Noble Lori upo n lL necessity of put ting down these outrages; he di f f ered with him as to the means of &gag a 0 did not diffre with bins as to the necessity of pooishiog the criminals, but be would not agree to the mode which he recommended. He wished them to be brought back to a fall and due obedience to the laws, and that Ireland should receive her deserved share of i the benefits, the protection, and the blessings it the British Constitution. • , 41 Mr. HUTCHINSON said th'ids was no Member of that House more anxious to pis Govoraumet is every constitutional measure for tranquilizing Ireland than hituself. He was as anxious, as the Noble Margins himself, to afford protection to the country, and would therefore explain his reasons for the vote which he meant to give. He would, therefore, contend that there Was a certainty of being able to pat down the rioters by the existing laws. The alarm caused by the disturbances was felt only in the West or South-west of Ireland, and he had no dOubt that four or fire thousand troops would pnt down these disturbances in one month. The lion, Gentleman here warmly condemned the avow ed intention oldie Noble Lord to attempt carrying the proposed Acts through all their stages that night. The Noble Lord seemed to think, that if he armed the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland with force sufficient to put down the present disturbances in Ireland, that permanent tranquil lity would follow. In fact Ireland never could bo quieted. until the situation of the country was changed. The state of the peasantry must be chang ed; the tythe sys tens, in particular, must be altered, before tranquillity could he expected. The state of the peasant io Ireland was worse than in the most barbarous part of Europe:l and in this assertion he had the concurrence even of every stranger who visited it. He would conclude by asking, why had not the proposed coercive measures been accouipauied by a statement of the greivances of Ireland, and of the means of removing them ? Lord MOUNT-CHARLES, in explanation of the rote lie meant to give, drew a dictinctioa between the White hoc Act and the Insurrection Act.' The former referred only to parties assembled in arms, whilst the latter en abled the Magistrates to prevent such assemblies. He believed it impossible for all the military' in the country to put down the present disturbances. unless the assem bling of the Insurgents could bi prevented. In his ca• pacity of a Grand Juror and a Magistrate, lie bad re ceived information that there was a deep laid plot sub- 1 sisting in Ireland, a perfect understanding and corms- 1 pondence between the parties engaged in it ; he there fore considered there was an absolute necessity of slur pending the Habeas Corpus Act. The present power of the Magistrates was undoubtedly too limited, consider ing the nature of the excesses under consideration.—l ■ conclusion, lie begged to say that the measure had his hearty assent ; and lie only regretted that the Noble Marquess bad not prepared theta earlier. Mr. SPRINO RICE conceived that he should ill dis charge his duty to his constituents if he did not protest against the measures proposed by the Noble Marquess. It really would appear that the argument of the Noble Lord who had just sat down was in substance, " pass coercive measures; but don't inquire into their cause." —(Hear. hear)—lle (Mr. R. admitted that coercion was necessary. Ile wished the evils to be put down ; but he wished them to he put down, if possible. by the existing lvws; and if they should be found unequal to the object, it would. be fir the wisdom and vigour of Parliament to apply a severer remedy. As far as he un derail:K*l the cause, be believed it to be, that since the Union no measures had been adopted to strike at the root of the evil.
