He by no means wished to impute any improper motive to the Noble Lord, for the inference he had drawn from that supposition, but he could assure him, that he had never used His Majesty's name in the manner re ferred to, in the course of that Correspondence.

CHANCE or ADMINIISTRATION. The Hon. W. IP LY r FLP..I'ON rose. in pur suance of Lis :unite, anJ adJressed the House to the following effea :--e• Sir, in submLting to the Hnuee the motion 1 shill have the lionoes to pro pose. it is not my intention to talc,. tip or ingerkre" with any part of that memorahle and important de bate teoic place in this H'.ll%foll hunki .y last. I may nlaseree, that upon that occs.io t many sigh. estraneoas to the ;que,iion then at issu, wrre intruituceil. I certain:, lanseot, as deeply . ws i man, that is was so disposed of; not indeed so much on account of the greet and immediate importance of the question itself, as from an idea, that the House was disposed to shrink from the debate of a great and constitutional gees:ion ; that system of cowardice, if 1 may call it so, with regard to a due assertion of one of the leading principles of the Constitution. In another shape it seemed to me as if the House had come to a sort of tech recognition of a priuciple, which, if carried into elite!, would transfer into the hands of the Crown, a power ammo trolable, because irresponsible—a power not differ ing from that power of the Stuart, against which cur ancestors so long and so glorionelo contended . Since, however, 'the Howe has come to a decision, which I eanaot by any arearnent attempt to combat, I shall proceed to suggest a Resolution, which can not but slow how far this prerogative has been in volved. It is a Resolution which I think the House must accede to, as it relates merely to the coodu3 of the late Ministers, and one which does not dis pute the undoubted right of the King, or hi. Royal Prerogative, to ehoete such Ministers as he may think prupar to appoiet for the good of the eosin- Weehmeae-Sisse. *ea iiSiLs tcu, 1110PareArlY the full einifitletice of this House and the Coon try, carrying on our affairs prosperously, as for as the !orient state of leurope would permit -yet, it is a plain felt, that they were suddenly and unexpeeteslly dismissed from those off ees committed to their charge. Now, Sir, let us consider a little, what is the actual state of Europe. It will appear that the affairs f the Realm have been, during their Administration, judiciously perforened. Have we seen suets an eetraordinary charge in the &faits of Europe, a,nd in the power of tfile country, triat We are placed se far Awls* our formidattle and de, termined fee, as to entitle es to rest wt full security ? Or, eare we at present placed in such a situation of danger, .as to c m ecesion the ter:ite of the mantiee mem of public affairs being committed to oilsr hands, for the purpose of effeeling a weatcr degeee of safety I Has there been occasion fora fervent and resolute remonstrance to the Throne, to entreat the oppoinemen: of en Administration more ade quete to the general state of Europe ? Whet, Sir, when the common sea of Europe and of Greif ' Britain is os the very verge of eenqutoing Europe itself, when Le bee extended his ejelorious arms over the greater p4At of the Catietinen!, is net this a moment that calls for our !wet vigorous exertions, for the purpose of rnaintaieing and easert ing our rights and liberties? Sorely, Sir, this can not be denied to be the period that requires every means- to be pot into pea lice to form ao adequate force to repel the attacks of our enemy. Then the next question is, whether or not that power is at present pot into the best hands, in order to effect such a desirable of jea l The Ministers who were appinted by His Slajesty, but whom His Majesty has thunoet proper to terneve, or, te ther, has Isamu itaisirard to remove s surely did emir, thing carat we a.../1 the country could well expel% of them. I will not say that they did every thing to thaw forth into full effetee the vigour and resources of the state, heettese they have been etopped in their career. While they sisewed a disposition to peace, they, nt the stone time, evinced a disposition to unite ell iIAPOi end hearts against the common enemy of their country. Ido net think it necessary to enlarge upon the present stare of the circumstances of the country. I may with teeny say, however, that the finateers of the kingdom are not so flourishing as not to render the ntmcot cleconom7 IleceseeY and I may add, that it is not in every part of the Upited Kingdom that the fulleg expression of unanimity prevails. In regard to their meespress, the Lite Administration del tot seem to have any sinister spirit iu their view. In order to carry their objeels or economy Tutu eff...a, what did they do t 'They appointed * Conmittee of Finance, which, at all events. was the only apparent means of probieg to the bottom, 411.1 ascertaining with accuracy, wbst were the resources that yet remained, and above all, to do Away those *lmes which existed, and tended to exhaust the funds& the couatry. They attended most scrupulously to a proper ad ministretion of the public 'service. filet the power of the enemy is great and hit mit; thle, it a fed which is universally ciinfessed; and we see, in the !ate Ministers, a disposition to conciliate, which was 'by. no means derogatory to the national spirit. They proposed terms to our enemy, which, if the Ceivernnosat of France hash Wee truly pacific, they would not bare hesitated to have agreed to. They withdteer them pre cisely at that period, when it was no longer consistent with our National honour to eonti ' nue a Negoeiation. Again, Sir, as to the admi nistratirn of our 4riety, is it nothing that they have endeevoiireei to raise and Augment it, in a manner mote consonant to the di Cates and feelings of hu man nature, by- limiting the term of service. by in ' creasing the reward attached to that service, by se curing the good coodete of the soldier, stimulating his exertions, ant improving the mode of ? Has not this tended to give entire-ate, force to ourArrno,beyonclony, measures that were before pet into pre:lice? And is all this to be esteemed as nothi If there can be any detibt entertained upon their eoedua, in these particulars, is it not indicative of a good acid hotioureble intention, that they have eeen, when ohser vett impartially, always ready to take up acid adop: whatever suggestions were offered to them for the amelioration or improvement of their system, from whatever party it proceeded, when it appeared to them as tending . to make it of a inure ge neral and etilergol nature ? As to the conduft of their successors, we have seen but very little f lime., hear !) and that lift!_ which I have seen I cannot approve of. There are Iwo or three points in which 1' think the conditiO of these successors has, been very extraordi nary, and highly reprehensible. They have brought to the Iler of this Ileuse of Commons their Sove reign himself, tittle/ Aver ! hew. !) in order that they might attach blame to a quarter where it did not fall. They skulked and bid themselves be hind the Monte. Taty seraph- e not to tempos* the Royal Robes to screen them from C.onstitirianal responsibility. I Ratter myself, Sir, that lam as. dutiful and loyal to His Majesty as any of those • Gentlemen who now sit opposite ; but I understar.l that loyalty to consist In an allegiance to the state, such a loyalty as would not compromise natioval benefit, for mere personal considerations, Inn in fringe the grand and leading principles of the Con stitution, Co selfish aggrandisement. I el pot know, Sir, at this moment, by what argument or sephistre, by what ingenious construction of the Law of the Land, they can excuse themselves for layirg the burden of their own rritconctudi opoo the Royal Name and Charm:ter. These, .iii, are abstraftediy the citcomoonees under which I think it motes ssry, that we should express oar approbation of the conduct of the Ire Ministers; the more especi sliy as they have been assailed by the most infamous aspersions. We have seen, in the public priors, Minutes of the Cabinet, with observations thereon, which could cnfy be applicable to a perjured Minis ter. There 'arc gross misrepresentattons in the publication to which I allude ; but this is not all-- we have . also, Sir, what, for the character of the country lam ashamed of, when relied upon that firirtea/ ciy whirl IlichWen • ftirmbriy'escifed ass the country. We have had the present COancellor of the Exchequer himself. giving the watch, word in his late publication to hie Corenituente. I have but one ether thing to allude My, and that is the menace which was lately thrown -on3 io this House, by a Right Finn. Gentleman oppo aka. No further back than Thnrsday last, we were very seriously threatened with a dissolotion of Path:finest, if we did not thick proper to accede to those measures which the present Nietistere might shortly think proper to propose, or rather, I may say, tete/ode upon this Honig.. flow often are we to be sent hack to our Conitituents ? As often, I presume, as we do not implicitly fall into the views, and ac quiesce in the chimes of His Majesty's Ministers; or, in other words, as often as they may think proper. Is it llning? Is it right ? Is it constitutional ? No, Sir, I Can venture to say, that such a threat is to tally unprecedented upon such an occasion the present. I have no disposition to court favoun, or to intrigue even for the Crown itself. If such a measure shall anually take place, I shall return to my Constituents, well aware that I have discharged my dety in the opposition I have offered, and I cannot doubt that they will sane:non my con info in doing so, and that they will approve of the vote I gave upon the late occasion. It not, I shall never regret the loss of that trust, of which it was no longer honourable. to continue the deposi tory. The moderstelanguage in which my motion is couched, will he one mean of securing its success. II the linste shall think proper to reje& such a motion, it is di;ficolt to say upon what grounds any motion, respecting the 'condor:l of Ministere, or re lating so the Crown, shail in future he received. as the reposer of this resolution, have nothiag to oßar in ray own tavola:, further than that ckaraelef whit.% has cot been reproached by a mercenary ad. herence to any man—to any party, or to any see. ". I propose it, because I am confi dent that such a Remonstrance, or some such Resolution, ought to rem.sia upon the Journals of the House, in order to s - dJ .•! justice to the late Adntioistration, whose chetah. iiNF-- ter, and whose conduct, have stood so high in pub estirriaticia. I shall now concede by movie& - " 'Nee this Henn, gamine, ing a firm a..r: efficient Admi nistret,m, as iiicliyeirsably necewsre, in the ? re.elit important crisis of puelit Atrium hes seen, with the st•sersos regret, the Late chaug.: ie Hu Majesty's Councils." Mr. HIBBERT—n I rise, Sir, to second the Motion which leas just now been made, and I with 4 had talleo to the lot of one more powerful in re. gent to abilities ; but I can venture to say, that a suoporter mere candid, zealous, and disinterestod, could not' have been found in this House. I have been, upon some occasions, under the necessity of differing from the late M:nisters ; but I trust that that very circumstance will be taken as an adlitional pledge of my sincerity, and the high degree of erimation in which I hold them. Their behaviour, Sir. in my opinion, was manly, candid, and considerate. The Hon. Mover his said, with , justice and truth, that the present crisis is it c of alarm to this country. I have no twee-Jinn to enter into further Proof upon that point, so as to satisfy the Hozoureble Gentlemen oppose, because. although they may say that the late Ministers succeeded to a AG of rem they will pct Say, that they, in their turn, have le ft them one. Such, I suppose, will be their conviction; but it is one which I shall not waste your time by at tempting to dintrove. I appeal to the House, whether many of the ditSculties which the late Ministers had to encounter, have not been got over, ar.d a greater facility effdaed, in averting the dangers with which our country May be threatened? The great feature wind) distinguished the late Ad ministration, was the;Negociation, for which there was clearly an opening ; and I thiok they would have been exceedingly Warn id by their courtrymen, if they had not embraced it in the true spirit of conciliation. Looking at that Negociation, there are two prominent features that occur in it ; a spirit of p. ace. and, at the same time, a rigid and inviolable faith towards our allies. There could not have been any two circumstances, that could male a more decided and lasting impression of their qualifications. Kith regard to the pre. parations made for resisting the force of ear enemy, both in regard tit onr army and navy, their measures were at once constitutional and effective. They adopted the best means of iucreasing our re sources; their military plans have been approved by all military men ; and I feel a gratitude to them, upon that groused alone, which I oast will yet he felt all over the country. Their measures will be likely to have the effeit of re:wining ns all soldieis and cat ems, by turn. and tend to do away those chargers which our ancestors dread. ed. Ports havi• or a large standing army in the conairY. With rensda to our Navy, I am, from 4..,. ! . . ,
