He felt it appeared rather hard to say any thing unfavourable of a Bill of the kind, on the occasion of its first reading; hut he must observe the Bill was one which deserved their Lordships most serious consideration, and anxious attention, when it should be read a second time. The Duke of ATHoI, observed, that part of what had fallen from the Noble Lord on the Wool-acki in a great degree anticipated what he proposed to offer. There were avowedly precedents for Bills of the kind, and he was aware that the present case most stand on its own particular merits.

The farther consideration of the case Was postponed till to-morrow. The Bills upon the Table were forwarded in their respeCtive stages. ' The Order of the Day being read, the House re solved into a Committee nn the Irish Militia Reduc tion Bill, and Lord Walsinr,liant having taken the Chair, the various clauses and provisions of the Bill were agreed to by their Lordships, without observa tion or amendment. The House having resumed, the Report was re ceiveJ, mid the Bill ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. Certain Papers relative to the Appeal, Cox o. borne, Bart. from the Court of Chancery in Ire land, were presented at the Bar, and ordered to lie on the Table.

On the Bill being read a first time, the LORD CHANCELLOR quitted the Woolsack, and called their attention to the prominent consideration of the 8.11. It was a measure or:ginating with the wo man; a circumstance which uniformly rendered that House very cautious in entertaining Bills of the Is;nd. There were, undoubtedly, some precedents of well cases, he believed two, and one of these so late as the year 1801 ; yet these were countenanced on the eztraordipatry cir:;unistaaces and pecufia BJCITIS I I I.ONPON, WEDNESDAY, Aran. 10. The vote of the House of Commons, in the case of Viscount MEI. vi Le, will form, in a constitution al point of view, an zra in the history of this coun try. To lower the Government in the estimation of the people, to represent a place of power as a place of profit, and ambition synoaimous with avarice; to consider Statesmen as universally selfish and corrupt ; and a change of Ministers as only a change of Masters, all seeking their private ends, and making alike the subjeS the vi Rim of their credulity, the slave of their will, and the means of their self ish gratification, has been the favourite policy of ever• revolutionary traitor. Of the success of this policy the Continent of Europe affords a melancholy example. In France, in Holland, in Italy, in every country where treasonable arts have prevail ed, and national ruin has followed the success of jacobiaical intrigues; we find nothing more was ne cessary to the completion of the plan but to destroy the confidence of the people in the Prince, to repre sent theGovernmeat and the governed as having dis tina a :d contrarient interests, objeEts, and views. By tbis political menrteuum, kingdom after kingdom has been dissolved, until Europe is in a great part reduced into ruin. Among the few nations that nave withstood this desti naive poison, or survived its influence, Fngland stands pre-eminent. It re qeirei mole than the ordinary powers of Jacobin isni to make a people dissatisfied with a Constitution had been for ages the envy of the world. A I ;it; career of glory and prosperity had gained it an inheritance in the esteem and affeatons f the onion. A love and respaL transmitted from the remotest ages, had encreased in the present genera. ti in to a kind of holy fervor, which allowed cot even possible existence of defect in the object of their admiration. But even in England, the revolutionary at .s were too potent and too resolute in the attack, to experience di - Jai:Tr without inflicting some injury. Loyalty and patriotism were victorious, 'out they did not return without loss. The field was nobly won ; but in some places the crops were destroyed, and the fences broken down. The Government has stood, but the necessities of the state have required burthens and privations which damped, in the breasts of some individuals, the enthusiastic love of their country, that used to be the universal charter of Bri'ons. It became, therefore, the duty of the Government, that would revive that patriotic ar dour, when it was extinguished, and preserve it where it still !lees, to chew that the Government was made for the people, and not the people for the Government ; to sliew the peasant that he paid taxes nut to swell the pride and gratify the appetites of minims in power, but for the preservation of his own liberty and independence. A wise, an econo mical, and patriotic administration of the public money, will always prove itself in its effeets, but the people are not always capable of :lodging of sound political wisdom, They may mistake ava rice for economy, and liberality for profusion. Sel dom has such an opportunity of proving the purity of the Constitution and the Government, in a light so striking and convincing as that which the case of Viscount MELVILLE yesterday presented. In him the public have a proof that rank, talents, influence, and connenions,all united, arc unable to divert the course of justice. In Viscount NIEL v 1.1. z the Public will see that, in this country, there exists but one law for the rich and the poor, with this difference in the punishment, that the higher the delinquent the more violent the indignation excited by his crime. If a case were to be selected on purpose to illustrate this position, it would be the case of Viscount Mxt v Lin. Ire was defended, not only by all the talents of the Minister, but by all his influence and address. It is well known. that the Mi nister at first thought the case strong enough to permit him to propose a Secret Committee as an amendment to Mr. WnuTMM AD ' S intended mo- tion ; and that he hoped, by reducing it to a Selefl Committee, he would have a decided majority with him: yet Viicoont sLv L LE, thus supported and de coded, was condemned by the vote of the House of Commons. Of the interesting Debate upon the oc casion, we yesterday gave as full a report as the li mits of a Newspaper would allow. Several eloquent and able speeches were, bowevet,necessarily omitted. Amos these was the speech of Mr. Wmacavosca. 40 which, it is supposed, made a great t: 10 I louse. Persons most conversant timents and principles of the individitai pose tke House of Commons, did a division of more than 1.50 WHITBREAD'S motion. The Mr. WILBERFORCE is supposed in an eminent degree to raise , Here then is a direct refutation clamour and detraCtion in which Nlernbers go into the House their minds made up ; that the ' composed of thick and thin directs, and enable him to court whenever he pleases. Old friendship, rest, and every other motive, gird for justice, that could influence man, all operated with the Viscount Mei. vit. cc, and yet debated. Let those jacobinical have accustomed themselves to and purity of Mr. WILBEIIO condua on Monday night, and cease to call his virtuous exertions by the name of cant and hypo 4risy. The SPEAKER, who had the manly mi rage to give the casting voice against the Mi nister and his friend, should not go without the thanks of the country. The loobins have set down in their list the SPEAKER of the House of Commons. as the creature of the Minister. Mr. Wicact roftee and his friends have also been the sub jeds of their low and vulgar abuse.---It would ' be difficult to convey an adequate idea of the sensation which this event yesterday produced in every part of the town. The most splendid vic tory over the external enemy could not excite any thing like the enthusiasm created by this triempls over a corrupt Minister. In every part of the town, groupes o.' people might be seen congratulate ing eac:l other upon this brilliant proof of the ex istence of that constitution, which had been repre sented as in decay and requiring reform, in all its Pristine vigour, health, and beauty. Upon the delinquency of Viscount Mscvitce we shall make no comments. "We war not with the dead." The fate, however, of a man, who so long tilled so large a space in this country, will long re main a so , :rce of interest. It was reported that this • Cardinal Wot.sr.v, anticipating the suertss of the motion this day fur his removal by Mr. Wats-- BREAD, bid adieu yesterday to the vain pomp and glory of the world, and sent in his resignation. • We believe the report to be corred. Wtts.lAM BUDGE, Es.q. his Lordship's private Secretary, was yesterday appointed one of the Commissioners of the Vidualling Board. in the room of C. Semites, Esq. The measure way generally understood as the precursor of his Lordship's removal. Rumour has already giren to his LoAship several successo-s. The Earl of Wesr mon ibstio, Viscounts SIDNIOI,TH and CASTI.F.REAGH, and Mr. Your, have been severally mentioned. it was not only among the people at large that this event produced a great sensation. The com mercial world also acknowledged its influence. The funds yesterday experienced a considerable rise, upon the presumption that Viscount Mecvicces fate would draw after it the downfall of the present Administration, and the substitution of one more favourable to peace. It was reported yesterday un 'Change, that the communication carried on between this country and Holland, by means of neutral Rags, has been stopped by order of the Batavian Government. The cause has not transpired, but it is believed that the stoppage will not last very long. We have received Paris Papers to the 47th last, and Ditch Papers to the 4th instant. The former are chiefly filled with the speeches made by the Pre sidents of the Senate and Council of State, at the Imperial Levee on the 23d; and of the ceremony at the baptism of the young Prince Narottov Loris.
