IMPI%iII 11. P/IRLUMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, Dtc. 21. The House h ring met, pursuant to adjourn ment, wire rew Members took the oaths and their seats. A persnn from the Cnmmission►rs of Inquiry, in Ireland. presented at the bar, the Third and Fourth Reports.—Ordered to lie on the table, and to be printed. Upon the motion of Ms. HOBHOUSE, the Ex piring Laws Commioee was appointed. Viscount HOW LEK stated, that as it was usual at the commencement of a new Parliament, to fix a limited Cerne for the receiving of private petitions, and as the public business was much impeded by enlarging the ptri 'd at first appointed, be should move, that the Stith day of February be the last day, and that it should not be enlarged.—This mo tion was adopted. His Lordship afterwards proposed, that is order to expeditt• the public business, the House should meet at an earlier hour ; and that it was the intention of himself, and the rest of His Majesty's Ministers, to be present, in their places, at half-past tout o'eleck. The SPEAKER signified his perfed accordance with such an arrangement ; and declared his in:cn• tion of coming down sooner, and entering upon private business at an earlier hour than heretofore. Mr. FELLOWES wished the Noble Lord would mention the resift time when Isis Lordship's propo sition would be carried into executi in. 'I he standing orders of the House, relative to petitions agaitsr undue eleeliont, being read, The SPEA KER asked if there were any Mein li - bets who hail petitions of such a nature to present ? The followirg Petitions, complaining of undo! Returns, weir then presented :—Horsham—Ordered to he taken into consideration on Thursday, the 14 of January. Penrhyn—Ordered to be taken into con. sideration on the same day. Saltash—Tuesday, the) ISth January. Tregony in Cornwall—:Fuesday, tOth of January. Malden—Tuesday, 20th of Ja nuary. ASertieen— . l hursday, 22d Januat y. • This being a Scotch Petition, the SPEAKER signified, that though the earliest day was fixcl, yet upon an agreement between the respeirlive patties, the House uswelly contented to a reasonabhr and justified delay. WESTMINSTER ELECTION. Lord Fa:stone presented a l'e:ition from J.Paull, Esq. complaining of the Elation and Return of the R f.,ht Hun. Richard Brinsley Sheridan for West minster. Tre Petition set forth, that Mr. Sheri dan, rega►dless of the laws against bribery, had been guilty of that offence, by influencing a number of Valor* to vote for him, by rewards, gifts, promises, securities, and treating ; also, that he had persuaded, by threat! and other unlawful means, many Eleflors, having good votes, not to vote for Mr Paull; and that he had procured a number of persons, having no right to the eleelive franchise, PI poll for him ; that by such means he had procured a colourable majority, and therefore praying relief. —lt WAS ordered to be taken into con stderation on Tuesday the 1 ith of January. The standing Order of the House for Petitioners against undue Returns, to enter into recognizance;, WAS then read and agreed to. The SPLAKER;;Ad notice from Mr. Thnmas linittchier. of Dublin,stat;ng the list of Irish Bar risters above six years standing, to aft as Commis sioners, according to the• provisions of the At eI Union, for trying controverted Eleeions. Mr. Lamb appeared at the Fier with the Report of the Address.—Ordtred to be brought np. Ltd HOW ICS rose to carte an error of datcs. info eehich be t hall.ittllvt •Ity .h;ia !speech .of the-last night. In coalmen; on the last Ittter of Mt Fox, fo the trenbh MliTster,Taireyrartd,wlin ever}. heirr_ of pe4te appeared to His hlajetty's Ministers to have totally vaniihed, he had mentioned the date of that cornmunic 41 to be on the . 913th of March, whereas, it was n • written until the 21st of April. As this mistake of dares, a circumstance not unusual where there was a necessity of introducing letters of so many different periods of correspond. encr, might have tended to strengthen the argu ments he had used in support of the condudof him. self and colleagues, as to the relationship of this Country with Prussia, at that particular time ; he, therefore, thought himself bound to explain this circumstance, let any unfavourable conclusion should he drawn from what was merely an inadvat t enise. There was also another point, to which an allusion was made in the 'debate of last night, to which the Noble Lord wished to refer. It was in answer to the observations of the Right Honourable Gentleman opposite (Mr. Cenring), that the an swer of the French Minister, to the letier upon the assassin, did convey the charge of encour ging such a system upon, their predct. , ssors in office. From accidental circumstances the Noble Laid was un- able to have immediately referred to the document, but he was fully confident, that such an implication was refuted by NI-. Fox, as well in the course of the Correspondence w.. 11 the French Government, as at the time when 9;s recorded friend had a personal conversation with the French Minister, during the Peace of Amiens. Mr. CA NNINC.: expressed a strong sen'e of ob ligation to the Noohs Lord, for the can four and corredness with which he had explained himselt. In resped to the mistake of the dates, he did own. he was not a little suimised with the statement of the Noble Lord on that point. in the debate of the last night, as he felt unable. at that time. and under that impression, to reconcile the intermediate cor respondence between the two Governments. from the Oath of March until the mission of Lord Lauderdale. However, as the observations he had submitted to the House wire of a general natu-e, and applying to the state of relationship between this country and Prussia for the last eight months, he could not conceive that the error in dates could lead to any material support or weakening of the Noble Lord's arguments upon that head. o Indeed (said the Hon. Gentleman), as every argument I advanced on the negociation, was founded on the partial Correspondence that has been published, I could not have stated any thing on that subjem but hypothetically, most particularly as I am convinced there are many chasms to be supplied. When those chasms are supplied, I do most sincerely hope, that in the whole pitt io rats of this business, it will appear, that the honour, the Credit, and interests of the British empire, were not for a moment forgeuen, or overlooked." Mr. PE R.CEVAL rose, and sooketo the following effrd—" Mr. Speaker ; Sir, f had purposely ab stained from offering myself to the attention of the Howe, in the course of the last night's debate, un der the convidion, that many oppoitunities would occur of taking iuto consideration the general to pics of that discussion. There certainly was one observatinn a.lvanced by the Motile Lord opposite, on which, at the time, I could hardly refrain from animadverting. That Noble Lord had iri dolged himself in drawing a contrast between the condo& of the Opposition of the last 6 fteen years, and the condunt of those Gentlemen, echo conceived it their duty to oppose the measures of His Majesty's Ministers, during the last Session of the late Parlia ment. The condud of the one, he stated to be manly, liberal, and consistent ; the mann4 of the other, to be captious, harassing, a n d v a ti ous ; the former was an opposition upon g e ne ra and en larged principles ; the present, en opposition of de tail, animated by party irritation, and influenced by personal views. In answer to that charge, I do as. sure the Noble Lord, that as one of the opposition to Which he has alluded, I shall, upon all occasions, continue to exercise my free judgment, in watching and combating such measures of His Majesty's hh nisters, as shall appear to me, either in their general principle, or in their pradical operation, hostile to the interests, honour, and security of the empire. And here I must beg leave to advert to the alleged un popularity of the present Opposition, compared with the ardent and general popularity of His Majesty's Ministers, as fairly deducible from the spirit which prevailed in those places where the popular feel ing displayed itself during the late General Elelion. The Noble Lord, in urging that contrast, had, I think, been rather too sanguine ; he had not, in my mind, sufficiently reflented on the history of the transadions which have taken place in the popuLr contests for Hampshire, Southwark, Norfolk, and Westminster. In the Borough of Southwark, his Hon. Friend near him( Mr. Tierney) could have fully convinced him of that loss of popular support, which he has experienced s ince his junaion with that pepu lar Ministry. He. who for so many years. in opposi tion to Ministerial exeriion, in despite of a very strong local interest, was returned, solely upon the independ ent support, has now found that he no sooner joined his solid popular attachment to the negative quality of Ministerial popularity, than he is deserted by his former adnerents, and adoally thrown out .by the popular voice. But if the Noble Lod is anxious to form a more accurate judgment of the popularity of the present Administration, I have only to refer him to the circumstances which have taken place during the eledion of the City of Westminster. As the Right Hors. Genneman more immediately con neded with that business, I mean the Treasurer of the Navy, is not now in his place, and as a petition has been presented to this House against his return, I shall not further enlarge upon that part of the subjed. Neither shall I enter into a discussion on the cnndult of His Majesty's Ministers, of the ex traordinary measures adopted in Hampshire. That subjed, and those measures, I do assure the Noble Lord, will become the subjed of future serious and important inquiry. TOrning norm these matters to the ropes introduced in the Address of His Majesty, and in the report now preserved to this House,l must observe, that it there remained no further documents upon which ro ground an opinio N yet there is, in the papers published, a full and undeniable manifesta tion of the good faith and honourable feeling of this Coma? y, at the same time that the hollow insincerity o f our inveterate enemy is truly esinhited.—ln deed, throughout the erhtle progress of this Nilo theism, although the marked charafler of Great Britain for sincerity and good faith, is, upon all t see,, s ;ons,, Strietly preserved ; yet, from the condua of His Majesty's Government, and the evasiv e sys. tern of the French Minister, 1 de contend, that it was artifice practising upon credulity ; tiron a credu, lity the most unjustified. But there is one fart so mysterious, so inearrable of being reconciled, that I must be excused in impressing :t upon the attention of the House. On the 14th et June, two letters . were dispatched to the French Minister, the moil inconsistent with the language and spirit of each other; the one was a long argument upon a dis puted point of most setious importance ; the other a short note, of the same date, annotincing a fad done, irreconcileable with the whole tenor of th e argument. There certainly must have something intermediately occurred, tending to reconcile so pal pat& an inconsistence. The omission in the King's Speech of any reference to the catastrophe which hos hi fallen that illusricus departed hero, the Duke of Blunneick, is, I confess, to me the most unaccountahle measure which, in the whole course of my life, I have witnessed. To as cribe to the King's Government any want of feeling or sympathy for the calamities of that farral9, would be highly improper ; but after the eloquent and impressive manner in which the Noble i.ord described the sufferings of that distinguished p.n. sonage, a manner which has magnified the reasans for direOly condoling with His Majesty, upon this regtetted occasion, I am sure there is no peront in this House, who would, in the most distant man ner, impute to His Majesty's Ministers, a want of sensibility upon this affl Eting occurrence. But it is answered, there is no precedent. Why is there no precedent ? •Because there Las not occurred, in the whole History of England, so distressing a circum stance to the brotheninfew of the Kap, sad the father of the Princess of Wales Therefore it is. because no such lamentable circumstance has ever occurred, that I do recommend, most strenuously, to the Noble Lerd, at this instnnt..to insert some mention of this unequalled and unprecedented ca. lamity. But, Sir, this it not the only omission in the Speech and Address, on which I feel myself called upon to animadvert. I mean the total silence, as to the glorious and brilliant riflery of Maida. It is to me peculiarly surprising, that upon a great sad signal triumph of the British arms—a triumph upon which His Majesty's Ministeis, in both llou.es, have given notice of moving the thanks of Yuba. meat, His Majesty should not be gratified with the opportunity of returning his thanks to his' brave tieops, in the gractims communication. That it is the wish of Ministers to keep His Majesty frcms any communication with his valiant slimy, I, in no manner, insinitate. Indeed, I can only ascribe this. an.l other conduit, to a scrt of sl-eenness. which seems to have completely subdued them. Not even .e reference to the great and -.flourishing state of our .essurem and revenue. +Jotting spots this head, to console and cheer the public mind, underthe severe. bet unavoidable, heir hens, imposed upon the coun try. No 'nankin of nor success at Sierr Leone (a load laugh Irma the Treasury &nal ; I mean Buenes Ayres. It certainly has been currently reported. that Minirtsrs entertained considerable dollish, as to the propriety of that measure, ani the impot ence of that capture ; and therefore it was, that my Honourable kriend, near me, was careful to use the very language of Earl Lauderdale, apoa , that subje& to the French Government. At all crests, I should think it the duty of the Go vernment to lose no opportunity of just encourage ment, and of raising the spit it of the people to its proper level. There yet remain two measures of considerable magnitude, and which, from the si lence of Members upon them, have excited in my mind, no inconsiderable apprehensi WI and anxiety . . One is our i n tercourse with the United States of America. Weer I. relied upon the quality and spirit of those Mt A;t:res, which were Last Session introduced upon that subjell—and when I find that the authors of those nannuies are the tWI'bOIII ap pointed to negociate a treaty with that power, it is impossible for me to conceal my doubts as to its beneficial issue, or of the dangers I suspeasn to the bulwark of our safety and happiness—the mini time supetiority of this country. But.this I do at least say, that previous to the execiiton of any treaty or negotiation between this country, and ate, neutral power whatever, some communication ought to be made to this House, in order that it may be enabled to as . naio what coastrultion or view such . neutrals have put upon, or entertain, of the state o f blockade. in which this cottony is declared by the head of the French Government. The other measure upon which I did expert some communication from Ministers, is the state of Ireland. The only reasoa I can suppose for such silence is, that the reportt abroad concerning that country are. what I hope they are, unfounded. But if, lamentably, such rumours are borne out by the foes, I do most sin cerely hope, that His Majesty's Ministers will nor, from a mistaken principle of lenity and moderation. be induced to any suspension and prutratlion of those strong powers of Government—by the delay of which, crimes are suffered to increase; and which, in the end, proves i.o ail of mercy to the disaffeined ; whilst the existence and safety of the loyal are too much endangered. Should such an ex tension of power be At last thought necessary, His Majesty's Ministers will find, both from myself and the friends who coincide with me, no dispositicn is thwart and oppose any measure of vigour, under the mis•aken hope of is temporary popularity." Lord HENRY PET Sir, I think I shall best consult the Wishes of the , House, by avoiding any answer to the numerous details, into which the !tight Hon. G ntleman teal pleased to go at suck length. But that;! wet on 3 °llse: vat ion so peculiar* personal to myself, that 1 must be excused trt same notice of it. The Right Hon. Gertleman has complained, that in His Malstty's Speech no noike is taken of the nourish:rig •taot. of our ikooscet and revenue. Indeed, I have only to refer to the Speech, to find the general expression orsa,i,faftion. at the unimpaired state of our resources. That I should at least I,ay.e thought, and do think, lolly sufficient for the end; reservir.g to my:elf, at a future opportunity, when it will become my immediate duty to open the Budget, to enter into the satisfac. tory statement of our tinancn and revenue ; and. at the sarto time, to r :he cliie praise to all those who have been engaged in maturing this solid system of iill;al:Cr 44 well to Mr.: P.:: for his greet
