Yet in a few days, this imperious necessity 'vanished, and the Noble Lord.himself proposed the• addition of three. other Metnbers.:.

Bill.-had been passed in a si milar manner by the Gentlemenopposite, - last Session. The Noble .Lptil had objeLied...to'- - the.l3isiolutio . whilst .the. events that ,caused it .were yet. fresh, and whilst .a cry existed,. which .had been termed base; false, and beastlY, but which had pervaded a ogreat majority of the Country ;. and 'the Noble -Lord had inn it to him as a lawyer, or a man,; whether he thought that the concessions to the Catholics were a violation of the King's Coronation Oath ? But though neither the indulgences that •had been. given to the Catholics, nor the concessions then proposed, Were, or would be a - violation of ' the-Coronation Oath,. he would maintain, that if his Majesty„ the obligation of whose oath was personal, thought them.dangerouslo the Church, they ought not to be forced upon him on the authority of any Minister.. The Noble . Lord had adverted to his conduct on fornier, occasions, as ; inconsistent with.h.is present condua.: 'But the No ! ble : Lord alluded particularly to his condua in 1801, when Mr. Pitt went out Of office. ' He should. have recollected what was the sittiatioa.:of . the country 'at . that time, and what was t h e condua of the receding , `Minister, who did not retire reluaantlY from office,.. nor . oppose his successors with' 'a,: view to, force ':himself, Again into &-office. •Ha , any attempt been made to. brin g , hi s :Majesty to, the Bar of that House ? As to the measure of . the Noble ,Lord,. :he should .solettnly and .sincerely declare, that if carried, it would' have proved extreme , ly dangerous to the Church, because it was only a beginning of a system which was to be followed up .by a repeal of the Test Ai` s on the first convenient ppport unity. W ou ld the Noble Lord state that they would repeal the Test Mt ?—( res)—Thentheycould i r not think it su I . • rprts9 „ . , that -those who thought •the repeal of those Acas dangerous. to the Protestant Church should oppose their Bill. The noble Lord'had said, that the measure; had been dropped ; • but - _waS • it not to he taken up at a convenient opportunity ? • ,He contended that it was the-duty of those . who thought the repeal of • the Testt dangerous,, to op- Pose thi..Bill. But then they were told of .the in , numan crY that had.been set up,' and of ! the blood that might h e sp il t i n consequence...-If the cry ''ere. false, why had it produced such an effea, or spread like wildfire over the 'kingdom ? It was not the speech in ' Parliament; northe - addresl• to' his t 9onstituents at Northampton, of so humble an in dividual, as himself, that could produce •such 'an_ Ofqa . • • Hezave• the• Gentlemen opposite -creak for .• "Vulg. brotight 'forward the Bill as a measure of 'con , ciliatio n ,..h ut he was convinced that the•desttnaion of it had prevented the!grievanee. .

What ,had that •to•do with the Es • tahltshinent ? It was only teMporary measure, re sorted to during a.war. , '• , Could any man suppose that hi,s Majesty .world' think of apppinting any one of , these 7>reign Officers as First Lord Of-the Admiralty, or, Cpl/Inlander in'Chief?

He was convinced, hawever,'. that no case could be• produced parallel to what had been brought onder theconsideration of the last Parliament, zwith regpe6i.tathe Hampshire Elec tiqn:e TheNobleLord4ad instancedoneease respeCt7 lug Mr. Grogan, but this was the first he had'heard The. Noble Lord-bad then stated, that it was. notorious that ton inspeeting Yield Officers had been 4ppiingatollieVtildntc-er Forc6previons to the EleC tion.,. with a 'view" to influence the 'Eleaors. There might- or might not be merit, in the' appointment - of these Officers; but his Majesty's present Ministers', when out of power, had recommended the meastire, and-now they-were' in office they had adopted But the same' Officers that had been employed befbre were:appointed, and they had not been appointed until - after the 'Eledtion; and. this was the measure which. the Noble Lord liadiePresented as an exereiSe, . of !carrnpt infittente at eleCtions' beyond all former example. The Noble - Lord 'a t geared' to him . rather • rash , in his charge; and not to be acquainted with some of•thogis of his Colleagues ; what 'would the House think of the nomination of 300,11 cit inspea 7 ing, but -surveying' Officers of tames; who 'could not be appointed either in law or in fAa tilt an Act of .Par-liament should be passed, to authorise the ap: pointment ?: What would they think of the designa . - tion of so many Officers-previous to the ele6 - lidn of that Parliament-which :was to pass - the Aa'which was .to authorise' the appointment of theSe ficers .1 Thertippaintment had • not 'taken place, ber: • cause; , the Aa had not *gred, anci.tliere remained for • the Gentlemen Opposfie only to send 'lamentable' letters of:.apology, .vrliere they had . no 'longer' _die -power to realise , their. etigagethent4; -Whether 'Or ..not - .these officers were. necessary, - - he did - - not ;take , upon -him then to express any 'opinion.. The ; Nbble Lord had expressed; his 'approbation 'of that expres •si on. in the Speech •vhich stated- his A•falBty's deter mination :JO •cultitirate •the'-frientlsliip 'Of Foreign • Powers, and yet; hsked 'whether it was, meant _by ,thatTto insinuate that' the fate Governtrient had been .of any negleel•upon. that head. Certai* inlinnation ot . opinion. had' .been • in tended one way . .or,the other; And-h 6 could truly 'say; that he a'reed, .in sentiiifetft'xpressed .by, the 'Noble Lord uppn the \'iubjeCt. - 2the•NOble Eard had said, that ; . -•l_],: . •I• • stet by the expreskion of his Majesty's regret ha trudseed : Mu - ) the Spepcsh, for the failure 'of the ne gotiition \vial the Porte. But undoubtedly regret - for its failure could s not bt construed to imply dis appOhation of the • negotiation, the failure of which excited regret. • Bet then. the operations in the Sea of ;slarmora. and.. in -Egypt had been introduced ; and here he could most conscientiously- say, that in finite labour had been bestowed on the coniposition of that passage, so as that it might convey an ac count of the Jransanions historically without im pUting blame to any person. , If the Noble Lord were to asls. his opinion of theSe as military, mea 'sures, it Would,. not be difficult to 'give the reply but unquestionably no such thing was intended by' the passage in the Speeds. 'He amid not trespass more at length on the,attentioti of the House, but` 'just to notice two .or three other 'topics WhiCh had been advetted.to by' the Noble Lord. 'The Noble Lord had alluded to etlie military reea4ure which had originated with his. Right Hon..Yriend, and ex pressed his hopes that they would give it a fair trial. In all -his observations on' this. mnasuree his corn parisOns were founded on the conibine.d operation of the regular recruiting, and' the measure which was thenlproposed.to be repealed, and which, conjointly, he still. contended, afforded a' adore ample supply than the Right Hon. Gentleman's system. But as long as the ineaaure. of the Right ll'ore Gentleman 'should be in force; no opinions of•his respectieg • it should be suffered to impede its• progress. As to the:allusion of the Noble Lerd tO the part which he had taken on the question respeEtin,g Neutrals, and the triumph he seemed, to feel. becatistsi•he had not, On coming into office„ advised advised t he'adopt len of differ ent- measures; he had only to say, that he was then as fully convinced as before that-themeasure of the Noble Lord was wholly inefficient.. Havhig, gone thrOugh the whole of the Noble Lord's Statement, he trusted the House would be convinced that he had: Made no case out for his Amendment, and that they! would therefore reject it. Mr. WINDHAM offered himself to the attention Of the House, in order to bring,back the question to its real grounds.' They were all agreed, awit was na- . tural they should, about the prerogatiVe of his Ma jesty to dissolve his Parliament. The Hon. Gentle- Man, who seconded the Address, therefore, had ,given himself unnecessary trouble in 'discussing a ,question of which nobody entertained a doubt.* His Noble Friend, in . quoting the opiniOn of Lord iSomers, that the Dissolution of. Parliarnent during a ' .. Session is illegal, had adverted to that atahority, to spew that if such a lawyer entertained such an opinion, the Dissolution of Parliament during e Ses sion ought not to be resorted to without great justi. .fication.. That wag the argument of Nohle' Friend, and h a m a i n tained tie it was a sound one. The question then before the House was, whether the Dissolution was founded upon - Wise or good grounds? It was to this that he objected ; and vas about Jo•state the grounds of his objections. The question bet Ween Annual and Septennial Parliaments ,wit's a question' only of degree, so was_ theequestion between Septennial and Perpetual Parliaments ; but there . : wes.'no - - rational proportion in the. history , of Parliaments ) , between a Parliament of • tour mouths and a Parliament of four years. The Right Hen.. .',Gentlernan bad contended, teat theargnments urg ed in support of the former Dissohn , • applied with: equal force to the late Dissolution. But fit Noble Friend had argued, that at the former period, a new crisis bad arisen in the war It was net a new War, 'it' wit S- -a renewed war ; -and it was therefore desirae ble that there should be a Parliament Which should, continue forsome. time, because it Might be attend ed with inconvenience. that any change should take place in the, Riblic Council .of the 'Nation whilst such a 'contest continued, The doarine of the Right Hon. Gentle Man went to this, that the Parliament should be changed until one shrld 'be found that would accord with what he or ally Other vei - Son might please - to state to be the opinion of his Majesty ; ac cording to this doEtrioe, there should be a new Pat% , Lament with every new. Adodnistration ; or as'had been 'grandly and greatly said by him 'who said - every thing grandly and greatly, the late Mr. Burke, we should no longer choose Parliaments which might approve of . Ministers, but choose Parliaments to be approved of by Ministers. There might be a' crisis Which'Would require the exercise. of this Prerogative,' as that in 1784, when a difference between the two Hotnies threatened, an obstruction to thee progress of public business. e He did not 'however say, that the measure, was justifiable in that'instance e though it ' might bedefended on•the ground of that disagree.' Ment between the,. two Houses. ',Fur his part thought that the Aristocracy had then received a blow from which : it had not yet recovered. • He shoo_ Id not, say what might be the consequences, : but certainly , there was reason to fear, that the precedent would not be suffered to remain ne glected, and the late instance shewed, that the prin ciple is aggravated in each successive application.— But he wished to know what was the expediency Of the measure in the late instance, when it produced all - the inconveniences . : of a General EleEtion, all the injury to private properties,.and all the detriment to , public morals, which such an event is,calcUlated.to give rise to: When all these inconveniencies have been produced, there' 'should be a good justifica tion of the nreasnre: If the Protestant Religion was in danger, that would be njusufication of. the :mea sure ; if the Ministers thought it was in danger, that would' be a jtlstifieatioti of them,. As. to the cry of the Church in danger, he would reply to that by • asking the AtiniStera, :whether they believed that :thetnselves . . ' • The Catholic, Emancipation had been the ground upon Which the Noble, Lord opposite had been able to 'carry the measure. of the Union With Ireland.' That was the sole ground upon which 'he had `conaehted to it, and that had been the great objea of the great Charaaer whose name .had been su uefiartunately for-their argument introduced by the Gentlemen 'onthe.opposite side. The Learned 'Gentleman op p osite had not felt it necessary to r a i s e any cry in •theCountiy, when this great wan, whom healway's 'represented as the most; fit topreside-over, the Councils : of tie Nation, had imposed a measure which ,vas to overturn the Constitution: ,But the Gentlemen opposite kubeving that the_ good sense of the Country Would. speedily put down the senseless cry that" had been raised, took advantage of it whilst it laSted. They: made their hay 'whilst_ the gun shone;- ThetidecwasehUng frotn theM, and they would soon have been Lett dry. Msiny Of them mast have the most sovereigieeonteMpt fur the cry, and it had 'propagated it with such .7 C altl)3 know. the contempt in which they.held. ny: the- Fiousetii.take their opinion • of Pot-et;nrne,et , the means by which they carne, into pox& T,V,i t ;h l , any body have thought that they . should ti , (4 . sterS ? Did any - of ,the;nselvei think. who had so short a tune before abdicated their offices . They could not have entertained the ti!l they took advantage of cry •td dk , ,oive th•,! •l 4 irli 1- ment. \Vhat was to he thought of a .I).nliaMent chosen tinder such circumstances ? \Vhat wcwl.l-t People think or it, who wanted .sCParliament pendent of the Government ? Whit Would they think of it, who sought the overthrow of th 6 (ici vernment by the destrtifrion of the, Parliznuet.n What was to be thought of -a Parliament, when a Minister threatened that he wciold diSsolve them unleSs . they should vote with him ? a threat, from, not the magnitude, but the audacity, of-Which he'at that time shrunk, ' though he and 'his eallengtrs afterwards aged upon it. The Parliament was:Ws 7 solved, and they.represented: the late MiniSters, a§ having attempted to force his MiijeSty's tonseieni7e. They sent them to the Country to be torn to piece. Thank God, no such event had taken, place. 'Fbq good sense of the People had,rejecled the cry. The experiment had produced the contrary etre& from what was expe6ted. The cry had.otly preVailed itt distant places, where thew was dot dale to remove the delusion,. It had not, produced aq etfe& in any of those places where the popular voice returned the MemberS, neither in the City of Westminster; Middlesex, Yorksh;re, nor Nortblk. Those who contrived to come into power by such means as the present Ministers, were unfit to hold it , . He de= dared it to be essential to good government, that jobs should be inquired alto, and severely animad verted Upon. tie condemned and deprecated the unwise and illiberal policy which proposed to qtiiet the Minds of the Catholics of Ireland, by an tingna lified• declaration, that nothing farther would be granted to 'them. The ' united wisdom Of BUrke; 'Pitt; - and Fox, bad occurred in approving an Opp - O~ site system. If he were to say which .he thOUght safer and more just, to re-enaB all the penal sta tutes that had been repealed by the gOod•suse and liberality of present age, or to stop short in the gradual and neteSsary progregs to total eman cipation, he should not hesitate to declare as his opinion ; that it 'would be attended with more to stop short at the present point. He contended, that the King could in no instance be 6119En:it iOnally snpposed to aa without advisers.. In the instance of the Dissolutipn, however, the present Ministers Were the avowed atiiisers, and their condua giving that advice, evinced a .determination to create aticr take advantage of a .public delusion; which had in part produced the desired cited-, but which the :pediol,. : already repented of, and endeavoured to torredt,.ae. cording as time afforded the rubanS of retlei•tion and inquiry. It was:folly to imagine; that becaue the danger that had hit - ely threatened us was removed tpr the moment, it Would not again return.: Bonaparte having accoMplkhed- the sub,iugation of. the other PoWers, would return upon us. with increased rrleans And increased fury, in a Manner that would regture all . the resources of the conntry, and. " 4411 the . Ta.. to etTea,the pfeServalidn.' Tie did 'not Mean " .Taleats - in the sense in which the expeession had been cried abroad, but ,setiously,. in : chiding.* talents of, the Hon. Gentleinen opposite, and the whole country. The allusion to events Chat had - taken place was as the Right Eion-Gentlenian eiplained ; not meant to convey any censure. It thcre should appear to bel - oont for any blame, he 'hoped inquiry would fit it wtrere it ought, 'and where he trusted it would rest. . . Geizeral CIA .VFURD spoke , at some length in justification of the change al:Ministers. The late Mi nisters had brought his Majesty before his late Par-, liament to answe.r,for that change, end a great por tion oftliat'Parliament ; though Very far trom : a ma jority, -having taken part against his Majesty, an appeal to the PoiPlc to decide between his 11 , LajeSty and his late‘Ministers was deterniinete Upon. ..The People liskproved true to the.oall, and he. hoped thelfouse of Commons' Would acquit itself duly and honourably to the Crown and to the People, He had stipported the late - Ministers from a high opinion of their taleots, though' not an exclusive opinion. He condemned them foratteniptin4; to - force them. selves.on'the Cr"own, by_compelling• the' Crown tti dismiss them. Oh ! • sublime patriotism, ending iri politicalluaide,,and confessed .self-Murder of their . body'Hitic. Sir .1141i111 7 11ILDMAY rose. to vindicate his charader froM aspersions which the Noble Lord ) who had sat op - Posite . ta him, had ,cast ppon it.. The m Noble Lord ought in propriety to have comuni _ cated to him his intention of counte.naking the sc.in dalous libels uttered'against him and his Hon.. Friend (Mr. S. Bonnie), in the Newspapers. Without such notice, it vas not so handsome to Mention then; seriously in' the Hduse. He gave notice, as it has been already; his intention to .do this night, that on Monday he would move for. an inquiry into the. whole of the circumstances of the transadion alluded to between -him and, the GovernMent. 'rhe result of the inquiry shew there was .no foundation for the scandalous; insinuations uttered agaiost.them. Mr. DENNIS :PROWIVE thought' the change of Ministers right, on the simple &mind,. that-his. Ma, jesty did not approve of the principles, or measures, of the late Ministers. Hi defended the Dissolution of Parliament, as a wise and,proper appeal. to. People upon the change of Ministers, : otherwise, wo should have a Parliament attenipting.to itopOse nisters upon the King. He hoped - his 4ijesty, ill resisting all uncanstitutional'atternps, would akyays have the unanimous supportof.his People, . , Lord COCHRANF, hoped, that as _each party charged the other with making jobs with a view to influence the EkaiOns; the conduct of both, in this resped, woUld be inquired into. He hoped sf.,\sue.. third party would arise which _would keep aloof from stiffish interest, and sinecure places, Unless thz.7 aged upon different principles he wduld not suppur4 either of the present parties. • • Mr. GRATTAN thought I.2ie coiciduta of - the 144.
