I • II . ttinveli and seconded this Address, or to those who had adviiwil the Speech from the Throrie, I cannot uvool riayirig, that to my mind they would have hest gratified their own feelings, moth I may add, those of the country, had they separated the dis tressing subject on which we have all felt such deep regret f the otl►ers alluded to ; and had that melancholy event, which had is this active •soul industrious community interrupted the stream► of publi;• life, in its business and its pleasures, a•lliuled the undivided attention of the House. I une aware tied rrecerferit might be idraileil for the couise adopted. but can our feelings be influenced iireoritriiii.? 1 am, however, aware, that anxious as your Lordships must he to testify yore esteem and iiiirrniv,it could only follow the expression of the public ferling. That feeling .lid - beirour to the people or this country, forif 'there ever had beers an occasion 111 which 'the atiatinnous feeling of the treople had found language and voice, it was in the late sorrowful event. There has bees. a burst of public feeling from every quarter which was borne to the foot of the Throne, where it 'sought to carry, and to the foot of the altar, 'where it soright . tro pro cure consolatioir.—(l lear, /rear.)—ln this feeling it was also easy to discern the sincere and warm at tachment of the country to those principles which had placed the House of lirmisivick upon the Throne, disproving the allegations that had been urged against their loyalty. On inch points of the Speech there can be no difference d' opinion ; but there are others which it will be necessary for one to notice more shortly, indeed, didn't had in tended, in coosetinence of the notice given by the Noble Forl opposite (Liverpool). Ido not intend to Move any 'amendment, but I must observe that the ovoids of the Speech which spoke of the efficacy of the Altigistnocy to maintain the tranquillity of the coutatty, seem to imply a doubt whether the same torsos would not have attained ike same ob ject without having recourse to any harsher measures. The time is now arrived when your Lordships may ask, whether, from all that has appeared, and all that has not app eored— and in such a close even negative evidence is of high istocwitrace—whether thee existed in the country a conspiracy to the extent that has been stated ? You have witnessed the trials in vas ions parts of the c try, of which only in one instance has there been a conviction for high treason, and have you, from the evidence there adduced, seen any conspi racy that ..tight not have beet' suppressed by the existing laws ? I wish to know where any such con spiracy has been discovered. It has tdways been said, ulna the conspiracy that threatened us was not cot. mitlable sm much by the power or talents of the per. toils engaged as by their numbers; but if such numbers had really been engaged, is it passable that so many trials could lave taken place wipeout affording one tittle of evidence to prove an union or concert its the measures of an extended conspi racy ? At the trials of Derby, it was evidently the object of the Attorney-General to prove this union, but 1w could only skew that the miserable rioters at Derby had had some slight connection with those at Nottioghans, where their outrages had been sup 'crow,' by 18 dragoons. lam aware it might he bold, 'lust but for the suspension of the Delores Cor pus Act, num) , conspiracies might have broken out; but if the conspiracy had been so gravel as to have embraced the greater part of the community, how could the seizure of a few poor individuals have prevented the breaking out of the conspiracy ? It littl liven said to the rioters of Derby, by their Captain, that all England, Ireland, and France, Were to rise at once in insurrection ; and he added, that the clouds of the North were to crone to their as.istance. If such, or any thing like it, were the cove, could it be believed that the suspen sion of the Habeas Corpus Act could have exercised so powerful an influence, as not only to restrain England, where alone it was operative. but also Ireland and Frame, and that it should also have imprisoned the clouds of the North ? 11'haterer ltutl been done was achieved by the existing laws. by the gsth of Edward 1111., and by a constitu tional .fury—and so far were the great body of the people bunt bring tainted with the sentiments of the rioters, that in the few villages through which they had passed, the people•looked upon their pro reetliowe with terror told detestation. This was nu iota that the people in general were hostile to the King's authority. Against the principle of the Suspension Act, I, therefore, again take this up. portunity of entering my protest, and of expressing toy saitslaetinti that it will be immediately repealed." With trAnect to tlir other topics in the Speech, be seoul.l not flow enter nth) 4 detail upon their merits. lie was centrally ready to admit that there was an appearance of prosperity in the couutry, and, lie Wooed, the increase of advantages would be such a- wool , ' enable it in bier the great burdens with which at was encountered, and which rather hail the effect of giving au oppurt 0000 ii y to hope than to expert.

His swain object in rising on the present occasion was, to correct a mis apprehension that hail arisen with respect to the Speech. It was, he declared to their Lordships, the intention of those who advised the drawing up of the several topics in that Speech, to avoid mak ing any reflection upon the opinions of others, with out, at the same time, giving up their own. It was with the most sincere pleasure stated, that air im provement was taking place in the domestic braticises of our commet ce, and its the public revenue ; and it was obvious that the improvement thus advancing iu the shoat 101 l tit the'cotsot ry, had deprived ele disaf fected of one of the great means used to delude the potpie. The opinion of the Noble Lord opposite. however (the Marquis of I:doubts:el), was, that the measures to which Ministers had recourse, were not necessary. His opinion was, that they were indis pensably so ; but the discussion, as hr said before, could be much better timed, and would prove their necessity by proving their efficacy. He concurred most heartily in the observations made by his No ble Friend (Lord Stanhope), with respect to the policy regarding Continental Powers; and lie would only say, kith respect to l'rance and the other Powers, that it was umd would continue to he the Object of his Majesty's Ministers to preserve peace, and to preserve it by the most efficacious means, namely, by the binding force of a strict fulfilment of the engagements England had entered into, and by alrewing our expectation of a reciprocal lier to:mance upon the part of our Allies. He could not, however, partake of the feelings as to the situi hots of the King or France with respect to his own people. The reasons by which he was itiflnenced in dissenting from that part of the statement that had been made, were too numerous to he given in such an explanation as he would be justified in giving ender existing circumstatices. There anis one thing which he would not hesitate to declare, that the inclination to continue in a state of peace was general amongst the powers of the Continent. fit the several Councils that inclination had beets manifested.; and thus there was to be added to the improving condition of bar commerce and reve l:au:4 the prospect of the continuance of that state of tranquillity in which Europe was now so font's !lately reposed. The Noble Lord sat down, after having mentioned that lie felt it due to the Noble Lords opposite to suite the few observations he bad made respecting the duration of peace, and due to I * self to defend the grounds on winch the Habeas Cortina was suspended. The motion was agreed to unanimousle. The Earl of LITF.RPOOI. gave notice of a motion fur an Address of Condolence t 0 her Majesty upon the death of the Princess Charlotte. REPEAL OF THE HABEAS CORPUS SUSPENSION ACT. Lord St nstotirts gave notice, that tte would move to-morrow, that the Standing Orders of the House, requiring certain intervals between the etages of Bills, be dispensed with, in order to effect im mediate repeal of the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act. His Lordship stated, that the object in meting for the postponement of the Standing Or . ders, was to fatilitate the progress of the repeal in such a manner at to effect it on the night the mo tion was put. . _ 'rite Earl of lAvattroo t. rose to giVe notice of a motion to vomit Henry Cooper, Esq. to sign all Acts and other proceedings of Parliament, re quired to Le signed by the Clerk of Parliament, lur a certain time. The Noble Earl said, the ne cessity arose from the death of Mr. Rose, Clerk of Parliament, whose place it was necessaty to supply without delay, in consequence of the inconvenience that must necessarily arise from the want of such au taco., Lord HOLLAND said, it was his intention to move for the appointment of a Committee to in quire into the state of the office of Clerk of Par liament. The House was left in a strange situation by the event that had recently occurred, and caused the motion of which notice was just given. It was their duty to examine into tile causes of the situa tion in which they were thus placed, and also to ascertain the propriety of granting a place of this kind in reversion. The Loco CHANCELLOR suggested, that the most proper wry of proceeding was, to move fur copies of any letters that might exist appointing to the office. It was, his Lordship observed, well known that the Lord Chancellor was, by virtue of his office., Speaker of that House, and that the House had an inherent power to substitute a Speaker in the event of his absence. hi his opinion it was the same with respect to the Clerks of Par. !lament. His Lordship spoke in terms of great approbation of the activity of the Clerks of that House, declaring, that the business assigned to them was conducted most efficiently. All the I-louse had to 41.• on the present occasion was, be said, to find u person qualified to perform the duties of the situation, uud a free discussion upou the appoint write would of einitse 'tot be prevented. Ldrl (;ROSYCNOR said a few words, but in so low a tone of voice, as to be inaudible below the Bars Lord Hot.t. A D expressed a wish, that some motion to the effect descr►bed by the Noble Lord oa the Woolsack would be submitted before the House rose, as a security that the investigation si Id be proceeded ilium. The E.irl of Lavkarow. accordingly gave notice, that he would move for a copy of the Letter* Pa tent (►f any) respecting the °lnce of Clerk of Par- Itao►ent. lie Earl of LIVERPOOL moved, that the Rego-' lot respecting the Cha au of the.

Oo the return of the SrtAILLII he took the Chilir, and informed the House that he had directed the Clerk of the Crown to issue out a New 11rrit for the election of a Knight of the Shire to serve in the present Parliameot for the county of Glamorgan, On the room of Bettjatuin Hall, Elm. deceased ; and oho a New Writ fur a Baron to serve in Parliament for the Port of New Romney, in the room of Sir Th ttttt as Duckworth, deceased. 011 the motion of Mr. ARBUTHNOT, u New Writ was ordered for the Borough of Rippoo, in the room of the Right Hon. Frederick Robin. tttt t who bud, since election, been elected to the Offices of President or the Board of Tootle, tud Treasurer of the Navy ; and another IVrit was ordered for the Borough of Cockermouth, in the room of the Right nom T. Wallace, who had, since his election, been elected to the Office of Vice-President of the 'Board of Trade. The Clandestine Outlawry Bilt was, as usual, read at the upeuiug of the Session. REPEAL OF THE HABEAS CORPUS SUSPENSION ACT. Lord ALTNORP, in pursuance of the notice he had given at the'close of last Session, rose to ask, whether it was the Ihtention of his M a j e sty's Mi ll is. ters to continue any longer the Suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act? it was his opinion, that the House should take the earliest possible opportunity of calling for the repeal of this measure.—( l/ear, hear. j —lle did not, it such i moment as this, when another subject mast necessarily occupy their attention, wish to make any obseivation which might elicit the expression of a different opinion ; all he meant to say was, that, if he did not receive 'a satisfactory answer, he should on to-morrow week submit • motion to the House on the subject.— (Hear, hear./ Mr. ARBUTHNOT was sorry that the Noble Lord had not delayed putting his question, until some of his Majesty's Ministers were present, for he would then perhaps receive information that would resider his notice of motion unnecessary.—(Hear, hear.) Lord CASTLEREAGH shortly afterwards entered, and Lord ALTHOIP repeated his question. Lord CASTLEREAGH replied, that it was certainly the intention of his Majesty's Ministers, in the course of the present evening, to give notice of a Motion for the immediate repeal of the Suspension Act in the place where that measure had originated (we presume the House of Lords.) If the Nobte Lord (Althorp) had been aware of this. he would have seen that there existed no necessity fur the motion he had in contemplation. TREATMENT OF STATE PRISONERS IN SCOTLAND. Lord ARCIIIIIIALD HAMILTON took the oppor tunity of intimating Ins intention at an early day to hting before the House the treatment of the State Prisoners in Scotland, and he mentioned the cir cumstance for the purpose of knowing from some of the Gentlemen opposite when the Lord Advocate of Scotland was expected in his place, for he (Lord Archibald) would, if possible, gladly accommodate that Right Honourable and Learned Person, if a short delay could afford this accommodation. Mr. W. DUNDAS felt the Noble Lord's kindness and liberality in giving this intimation; respecting The arrival in town of the Lord Advocate, lie could not speak with certainty. He did nut know that he would soon be in town, as the Court of Session sat so early as die 12th of March. He rather thought (without giving any positive opinion), that an at tendance here before the Seasi would be, in his professional business, personally inconvenient to the Lord Advocate. If the motion were subsequent to the time lie alluded to, it would of course be more convenient ; but lie had Ho right to ask the Noble Lord to delay it beyond the time he thought fit. Lord A. HAMILTON replied, that it would be ob►iously impossible for hint to delay his motion until after the 12th of March; he would be sorry to do any thing which could personally inconve nience the Lord Advocate, and would, therefore, gladly accede to a reasonable delay, but by no means to a distant day. He, therefore, now ion mated, that on this day fortnight he would fix a day fur bringing this business before the House. DROITS OF THE ADMIRALTY-RELIEF OF DISTRESSED SEAMEN. _ _ Lord COCHRANE, seeing one of the Lords of the Admiralty in his place opposite, begged to know whether it was the intention of the Lords of the Admiralty to appropriate, or seek to have appro priated, any part of the enormous accumulation of the Droits of the Admiralty to the relief of the dis tressed seamen now suffering throughout the coun try. Mr. W. DUNDAS wee not prepared to make any communication on this subject. Lord COCHRANE—" lf, then, a portion of the Droits is not immediately applied to the relief of the seamen, on a very early day I shall make a 1111 l tion to that effect." General THORNTON gave notice, that on the 7th of February he would move fin' the repeal of those parts of the Acts of Charles 11. which refer to tran substantiation and idolatrous worship. BANKRUPT LAWS. M►. JOHN Slii[llgWeisOiltle,iiiat to-morrow he would move for the renewal of the Committee ou the Bankrupt Laws. BANK' OF ENGLAND AFFAIRS. Mr. PAtiCOL CILENELLL gave mince, that on Tuesday next he would move for certain Accounts of the transactions between the Bank of England and the public, and also fur an Account of the number of Bank Notes in circulation. lie merely mentioned the matter now, in courtesy to the gen tlemen connected with the Bank, that they may take whatever steps they please with reference to his notice. POOR LAWS. Mr. STURGES BOURNE gave notice, that to-mor row he would move for a Return of the Sums paid to the Poor in the years 1748, 49, and 50. ADDRESS TO THE PRINCE RECENT. Wournouss, rose to move the Address to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, and spoke iii the fullowuug meaner:—•" In rising to move the Ailifiess which I ain,about to propose, I feel that I should ill discharge my duty, if I did not take this iarly opportunity of adverting to the deep, grievous, and of:Meting event, which we, in common with the whole empire, have lately had to deplore, and which lids overthrown our fairest end most 114111.. game huger.--(Hear, hcani—From the arduous circumstance of preceding times, our attention had bees) for so mussy years engaged to external topics, that it almost seemed as if we were divested of soy internal subject to occupy our +melanin. But the return of a peace invited our interest to our own immediate situation, mud we rested Si' coils &lent and humble rapes:intim' that the 4rutlual expansion of native excellence which we saw then before us, might have auspiciously attended the natural course of hereditary Meet:4.loll to the throne of these realms. Such were our hopes, our loud and pleasing anticipations, and the bright promise of our prospects ; and who is H that sloes not mourn at the event which his so suddenly bereft us of them, and that does not feel the con doleoce due to the illustrious sufferers on this melancholy occasion ?--( Heir, hear.)-1 coo but Attempt feelingly to paint this bitter reverse —it would not suit the duty I have to perform, End the persons whom I have to address. Mild lustre suits not the dignity of the subject and peace ful gravity of the season. Without intruding too deeply on the feelings of the sacred person wl we have this day to address, we may yet say end Parliament sympathizes with lam in his heavy mis fortune, and associates with hint iii hope as it asso ciates with him in grief; and as this knowledge of our feelings, in common With those of the emissary at large, Moat alleviate the royal grief and atfiic tiou, so we may presentee 'that the extent of our de pression on this occasion will chew (Mr indelible attachment to the Illustrious family on the th of these realms. Our feelings are inseparable from the moral energies of the country, which will uphold us under the pressure of every calamity, Deeply as this subject must have engroined the feelings+ of the Royal Person whom we have now to approach., it has not excluded his attention from the general state of the country, aid the necessity of looking to its future situation. We have heard front the Royal Speech, that continued amity prevails abroad among our foreign relations; that at house we have increased revenue, augmented stability of public credit, revived domestic industry. Its allu sion to this ',leasing state of general prosperity, iss speaking of matters of vital interest, out of which grow the strongest objects of public attention, I should he either the victim of credulity, or the agent of delusion, if I made use of a single ex pression which I did not firmly believe. The change in the state of our affaire must he obvious to any ordinary observer. lis commerce, there was no longer to be seen that stagnation, which seemed more as if it were struggling for existence, than seeking for extension or advancement. 'll -. .e now see that it is not only active and vigorous, but that it has revived with an elasticity which denotes real and substantial success. This is a happy and a prosperous change, and it is attended with that ap pearance over the face of the country which denotes the retorts of peaceful and industrious habits. Imagination loves to dwell ois this good sight, i:aid to find that the heated sound of disaffection is now banished from the land. The diffusion of reli gious instruction is also most properly under the Royal eye, and an increased number of places of divine worship is recommended to our particular attention. With respect to our foreign relations, the Treaties with Spain awl Portugal, relative to the Abolition of the Slave Trade, are more particularly brought under our 'consideration. If any thing could be added to the impurtasit advantage to be derived from these Treaties, it must be from the reflectiou of the moral good we have effected by thew, and the effectual rummer in which they narrowed and circumscribed the limits in which that trade could be still curried on, so as that it might almost be said to be drawn to the verge of its final extinction. Thus will England have banished this detestable trade from the pale of Christendom by the merciful interposition of her influence and authority, and future ages will bless the kingdom by whose means an ultimate triumph was obtained over this detestable and ini quitous traffic. Abroad we have overthrown a mi litary despotism—at home we lave secured the sta bility of public credit, and the happiest and gnosis permanent prospects.—( Hear, hear./—The Gentleman concluded by moving the Address to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, which was, as usual, an echo of his Royal Highness's Speech. Mr. WINDHAM QUIN rose to second the Ad dress, and 'spoke as follows :—" I aims, Sir, so billy conscious of my own inability, that I must preface the few observations I shall have to make, by putting in a claim, l am afraid a very large one, for your considerate and patient indulgence.— ( Cries of " Hear,"froui both sides of the /lousy./—Nothing, I sun sure, call disturb the unanimity with which it is our cummois intentioss to approach the Throne on the present occasion. The first topic alluded to its the Address proposed by my lion. Friend, is of a nature well calculated to call for our universal condolence—it refers to a national mid unexpected loss—to the loss of one most eminently distia guished for every virtue and accomplishment that adorned the highest qualities in her sex. It was some consolation for the sufferers more nearly afflicted to know, that never was there a deeper feeling of sorrow for their misfortune, or u more general and sincere expression of sympathy for their ufllicttun, than that which pervaded every rank of society oil this most melancholy occasion.— Let the more immediate sufferer 'effect on this coussolatiois, and know that hie carries with him its the bosom of Isis retirement, the blessings of every man who has a head to think, or a !wait to feel.— (Cr ies V . " Hear, hear.")—There tiresome subjects which may uphold ass usiskillul advocate, but this is one which excludes all aid from particular ex pression or feeling in urging it—it is one which cannot 1* dwelt upon : all that we can say is, that it holt pleased God to take her suddenly away who was the pride and hope of her admiring country ; that the sorrow for this visitation has been, and continues to be uniform and universal ; that it per vades every home, and bedews every countenance ; and thin, cast your eyes where you will, north, south, east, west, they moat fall insois the battle deep and general gloom which skews the nature of the loss and extent of the calsimity.—(Hear, /sear.) —All that was mortal of the Mutsu Sous Personage, whose loss we so poignantly deplore, it is true, Is ss been removed from us ; bust. her none can icier disappear from our view, and the recollection %%loch it inspire* shall ever be tllbililorti so our bruits asuoug our deateat and most lasting uffectississ,— ( Laid cries " Hear.")-1 now color to touch is) a very genital wanner upon tle other topics contests eel in the Speech. The paucity of cloudier for the diffusion' of religious Onstluctiono, lots been deeply' felt by the growing population of the country. awl has hero properly brought to view iso the Royal Speech. The great ituportaisce of religion nerd not lie urged upon the Hume. The history of the events of the last 30 yea's Atoka too strodaly the intimate conoexion between the stability of the thrones of time pares, and the morals of the people.

A wise policy, however, rests its safety oil honourable, secure, and perms.. cent means, fixed an a permanent basis. The view of our domestic situation has beets truly de. scribed as most flattering. The general improve. mem of the revenue, particularly during the last quaiter, as compared with the pre.cedong one. was manifest and iinportuot. %Viten I consider the in terual improvements of the country ill its 111Hilthe. tures, imports, exports, its trade in every branch, the increased value of !tondo he improved value of Mkt-toil navigation, I see at Wier a COlllbilllllloll presenting so molly details to thew the great iniplovement that hail lonely taken place, that I feel nu argument eau be necessary in support of a fact so obvious to all. Indeed, this improvement had bee:* developed to aft extent beyond whin even the most culator could have anticipated. flow ontlerent was not the state of things last year in the interior of the cousstry ! It was impossible to go any where with out seeing strong and able-bodied soca pining for stem M einploymeett ; instead of nits brio : : the case at present, the value of labour of every 'mini was considerably iota-eased hi price. The irom.workis were all in active employ, and the iron which a year ago had falleo to 91. a Lao was now up to 141. The Funds which, months ago, we:-e at 53, uele 79 or 80. At the time to winch 1 refer, there was ill fact no employment fur otooley, now you hod it flowing through the several channels of re. productive induatry. The change of the times was observable in the different value of landed prop er ty, and the facility Of disposition in all matters relative to landed property, which was not to he found so late as a year past. 'fitere is every appearance of permanency in this most excellent prospect, and at the same time the saner probability of a still further increase or it, from the kIIOWII activity and habits of the people in all pursuits of industry. To all these beneficial changes, they were to add their sure accumpautment,internal peace and tranquillity', pre seining at tine contrast to those scenes of riot which disgraced the metropolis and other parts of the country at the close of a former year. This change was the consequence of those precautions and pro per means suggested and adopted by Government for securing public peace and tranquillity. The interests and future prosperity of the country occu pied the serious attention of the lioyal Personage whose Speech had been deliteted. The House will, I hope, feel the necessity of pursuing the measures which have improved the state of the country, with that care and diligence which the subject requires. ‘Sre should well consider the means by which o u r arts, and civilivation, and contano ce, have been formed and extended, and looking on them as the true inheritance which we are hound to preserve. secure by our wisdom and energy their perpetuity. mid, us Englishmen, preserve tile principles Irons a hich they emanated.
