TO - LORD GREY. • Loan,,--e,The events of the last re* . year , s haakaltuest led• me , to imagine that thre was no thing still remaining in the womb of time, or yet Unfolded in the Political Annals of this coootry, ca - pable of exciting my .surprise. If, 'however; the,events of the last few months have tended to diisipate such an idea, the occurrences of the last few weeks have clearly demonstrated its fallacy. I have been astonished almost to stupefaction ; I have heard your Lordship declare in that August Assembly of. the Aristocracy of England, that any. one individual either- in that or the other House of Parliament, because he could see a Move or two farther into the game, and could lay a deeper scheme for keeping his .adversaries' King is . check, by means of his. Queen and other _pieces ; or, to speak .plainly, because mind Was more comprehensive in its subtlety,' and less straight• forward and manly in its policy, than that of his fellow-men, - he had a right so to play fast and loose between the piinciples and clauses of. any as to place it in , the horns of a di lemma; and ensure its final rejection. And ivho my Lord, let nut ask you,-are you .whoare thus daring to interpolate into the canon. and doctrine of our Political Constitution a creedatficontemphite& by its founders, and unstractioned. by the pra'ctice of its fathers:, who would Make:. the great Assem~ blies.©f the nation itheatre for juggling feats, - an arena for matches, against sense, decency, and I duty ? f,. my Lord, your:genealogy were not much toe recent.to admit of aanistake, ,I should pronounce you to bean illegitimate. descendant of the within t Family, of -Ambition, by the-Goddess of Opposition and the danghteaof Disappointment, begotten in a moment..of splenetic excitement; and I coUld".then account in a satisfactory manner for yoUr latecendect, and the; new-fangled •sys •tern of morality you upheld, bia.attributing-thern to family prejudices and•recolleCtiena,, Now, my Lord, to grappleanore.closely with that most monstrous-of propositions-which your Lordship has chosen to lay down, viz. cc Where a Peer had objections to_ the principle of a mea sure, he in every stage. of its progress, had a right to endeavour to clog it with -conditions, which might , ensure • its ultimate rejection." Which being' interpreted, means .that .he has a right to set all,ruie of. right, at defiance, to lead- the House lay any sense he can seize ani, and perplex, 'ca jole, .or trick them , out of any thiug which he, forsooth, deems improper, or considers•unsuited to his views. . • • • • In the ordinary course of Parliamentary pro ceedings every Bill consists of a preamble, stating its objects and its powers, to which are attached clattsei, providing in detail for the furtherance' of those objects. When this Bill is prop6sed it is objected or acceded totipon the grounds. of the preamble.or its general- .merits ,and purposes. ; it passes; it-first - reading, it passes a second, both of them having reference. to its preamble or.its gea neral meritt-and• views: The noose then 'goes into Cortitnittee'On the clauses, or Merits : of the detail of-Tthatp.reamble, which are .voted seria tim. The third , reading then takes place, on which occasion the 131.11. is Carried—or- rejected, a characteristic attaching itseiclo - tio:other stage of theproceediogs. • • Let rue now, my Lord, ask, whether any man of the smallest . degree of probity § or most • limited. share - 0( understanding,:coald, or ought to vote: - for the - clauses or_detail ofthat,Bill, which-in:Us ; prelmble Or general merits he hade,opposed. , as , being imProperi. ,Thg . major .necessarily prebends the minor ; that cannot begood in .prin ciple itv,practice ;.therefore, no man can approve-of that in its .parts whicln:he con d.ernas: as. whole ; ..and as,, the, : objects, of alt legialatiie measures are beneficial results growing out of a just basis, so no one, as his vote ought to be honestly given, can claim a-shadow of right to do that which your Lordship- has declared to be correct. But the Bill . lately. before,your Lordship was not one even of this _description,. if was a Bill of ‘.` Pains and Penalties'? in its principles, assimi lating to a Bill of Divorce, consisting of .a pre amtsle, containing certain charges, which, •as ;in , all cases, of diverce, were to .be supported .by evidence, and of clauses providing., in, detail, for. carrying : into effect the punishments attached to the charges , if proved. • . Oil this subject no sophistry can avail, no sub terfuge be,admitted. • This. Bill .passed a first reading ;.evidence pn .the crimes , alleged. was then heard. : The second reading .arrived,:and.l call upon. your Lordship solemnly before::: God-J to say, whether•this ttag,e . of such, a, 4ilbwas: was not4lhy - Abing further i lhan , aLsimple)dtipand. for an opt ion as to the •na,tortk viwthefx:evidence adduced„in,..support'of ! its prearnMeowithout. re ference to,itapyinciples-, or thu ae.A peat-awl-.

The. Aulic Council has just sent orders to form other regiments of infantry, to march immediately to Italy. This new reinforce ;lent amounts to '20,000 rnen Lieutenant:Colonel Aucir,ustiii - commander of the Rocket Corps, Who . has succeeded in much increasing destructive effects of the Congreve rockets, has. sett part of the corps to Italy, and has himself been summoned to Troppau, to make an experiment with . Ahem before ; .. the Allied Sovereigns. . We know hut little of the .conferehces at Troppau. The Euglis Ambassador frequently comes to Vlenna, and takes. but little 'sifare itt these conferences. . , Fo RT, Nov. 1.---The latest adCount3 from Vienna speak 'of nothing but the increased activity of the ,warlike preparations. Three of the most celebrated Austrian Genrals have re ceived orders to repair to the head-quarters in Italy,, and it is expected ,that in s will soon be received of the entrance of the Austrian troops into the Papal territories. For some days there has been a great deal of business in the several•ministerial departments at Dispatches received from Vie Una. and Troppau hare caused several ineethrgs- of the Council of State. The la:test accounts from Wait state that the army is on the paint of advancing tova:rds Lower Italy, and that t4e head quarters tivill be trans ferred in a few days from Treviso to Vorrara. The complaints addressed by several media tized Princes.and Counts to the German. Diet against the GoVernment of Baden are considered to be Very injudicious. The Baden soldiers, whose presence with their regiments is not abso lutelY necessary, have been allowed to go to their homes on limited furloughs. 'Accounts from Baden state that, the present politicaL conjunc tures excite some uneasiness there. TURIN, Noy. 17.—1 t is said that. the Neapo litan Government has contracted with some French manufactUrers for 50,000 - gaud of arms, part of which are said to be already shipped at Marseilles. The custom-house of *Leghorn has not allowed the shipment of some powder for Naples. The Allied sovereigns having sent a courier with dispatches to Naples, it is supposed no hostile measures can take place, till his Ma jesty has returned a final answer. The marches and countermarches of the Anstrian troops must, therefore, be considered as mere demonstrations. F sTocKs ON . r. O' C LOCK. Bank L r Arm— 13-16ths Bonds Ex. Bills. par. is. Is. pr.
