The House met at Five o'Clock. The Earl of MALMESBURY presented petitions from certain persons in the County of Southampton, who were owners and occupiers of land, and also engaged in the flour trade, against any alteration in the Corn Laws.

A N HISTORICAL and PRACTICAL TREATISE on 'SYPHILIS, Gonorrhea, Gleets, Seminal Weakness, Strictures, Eruptions, and Nocturnal Pains, so frequently mistaken for Rheumatism. These subjects are illustrated by a variety of highly interesting cases, together with the Miseries of a secret Vice, so long and so unbappilypursued by the youth of both sexes. In the one it will be found the, unfailing source of Barrenness, the other have its ravages fatally developed by a distressing state of debility, which, if not timely remedied, terminates in linpbtence; these are its remote and ultimate effects, while Consumptions, loss of Muscular Power, and 'various Neivous Complaints, usually characterise the earliest stages of this most destructive and insidious habit, for the cure of which a mode of treatment, the result of long and success ful- practice, and at once safe, speedy, and effectual, is adopted by the Author. With concluding remarks on the evils resulting from attempts at Self Cure. Principiis obsta ; sero medicine paratur. By C. R. COURTENAY, M.D., Robert-street, Adelphi.

The luminous views taken of these diseases, together with important warnings against excesses, entitle this work to great praise ; and we may add, as a further recommendation, that it is written with much delicacy and morality.' Inspector and Literary Review. ST. ANNE'S CHARITY SCHOOLS.—The one hundred and eighteenth anniversary of this ad mirable Institution, was held at the London Ta vern, in Bishopsgate-street, on Wednesday. Sir Peter Laurie was in the chair. The company was very numerous--not less than 300 gentlemen sat down to dinner. Sir Peter Laurie apolo gised for the Duke of Sussex, who was expected to take the chair, but who was detained by in disposition. On the prosperity of the Institution being proposed and drunk, a copy of verses, ad dressed to the patrons, were recited ; and Master Benson sung a song, that had also been written for the occasion. The company did not separate until a late hour. " LA GAITF.."—This second set of "New and Fashion able Quadrilles" is founded on selections from Rossini's Opera of Semiramide, and is accompanied with proper figures. The arrangement, with some few exceptions, is skilful ; and the airs are selected with a close attention to the purpose for which they are here brought together.— They are six in number ; and consist of La Semiramis, figure de Pantalon ; L' Idalie—figure de L'Ete ; La Ca pricieuse—figure de la Poule ; La Favorite—figure de la Trenis; La Clotilde—figure de la Pastourelle ; L' Arsace —figure de Finale. " On ! MANY HAVE SWORN TO ADORE ME," A CAN , ZONE; COMPOSED EY SOWN BARNETT.—The melody of this Song, if melody it can justly be called, is principally characterised by a starch, strained affectation of extraneous and uncalled for flats and sharps, introductory of harmonies as abrupt and outré as themselves, and in some instances, disregardful of the common laws of counterpoint ; as in the harmonical transition from the last part of the eleventh bar of the first page to the succeeding bar, where we find the puerile anomaly of two consecutive fifths! But amid this wildness of conceit, and error in theory, we think we trace some latent signs of talent ; and should be of opinion, that by further study, and an earnest pursuit of nature and simplicity, Mr. Barnett might render himself a respectable vocal composer. " PEILOMELE," ~by GEORGE HENRI DERWORT.— This Twenty-third Number of a work consisting of a " Recueil d'Airs Italien, Francais, Espagnols, and Alle mands, arranged with Accompaynemens Progressis de Guitare," presents us with a little melody of Weber's in A major, common time. The notes of it are few, and given in the most simple and unaffected order possible: perhaps so much so•as to border on meanness and common-place. Besides the professed part for the Guitar, it as accompanied with one for the Piano-forte.. They are managed with a skill that announces the editor's thorotigh acquaintance ' with the character and genius of both instrumen'm ; and do certainly, .so far improve the effect of the air they are meant to adorn, as to render it more than ordinarily agree able to the ear. SANTAREM. Santarem ; which is a walled town, was founded by the Moore, and was 'occasionally the head-quarters both of the French and English during the last war. It stands on :the " chain paign head of a steep wilderness," which over hangs the Tagus, and with its battlements and towers form a fine object at a distance ; but grievous was the disappointment as you ap proached the town. The entrance to the lower town is by a miserable archway, which leads to a square, where scarcely a human being was to be seen. -One half of the houses were shut up or crumbling into ruins, and the other half hardly exhibited any symptoms of life.— Here and there was a dark filthy shop with an. old bareheaded woman, or a man with a beard four days old, sitting listlessly at the door, and in the interior was a bag of wine, with a few. pieces of cold fried fish for sale. Not One . house in fifty had a pane of glass in the windows, .there were no lamp posts, no foot paths. In •fact, no convenience of any descrip tion. After hunting about .for an hour and a half, we at last found a testing place for the night. A small room over a stable, with a bare bed at each of the three corners, .and the door at the other, was to serve the.purpose of dining room and bed-room. The waiter who wore a red sash, as most of the carriers, muleteers, and workmen here do, and had buckles in his shoes and at his knees, was the most sleepy, imper turbable dog I ever met with. " I should like some oranges," said one. " There are none in the house," was the answer. " Well, you have lemons—make some lemonade." A shrug and grimace intimated that this was out of the ques tion. However, after some urging and half an hour's absence, he- returned with one lemon— the, only one he could find in the place, though at only a few yards' distance the trees were loaded with them, and the room in which we were sitting was perfumed with the fragrance of -their blossoms. As he was a grave, staid, contem plative-looking man, and likely to have paid some attention to what was going on in the country, I. wished to know from him what he thought of the Constitution. The only reply was, that he did not even know what it was. The supper was tolerable, and the bed, to our great asto nishment, quite clean. We were lulled to sleep by the tinkling of the mule-bells, the snoring of the muleteers, and-the varied and incessant song of the nightingale. There was no glass in the windows to deaden her mellow strains, or shut out the scented breeze ; and the window-shutters were so full of chinks and holes, that it was a matter of indifference whether they were closed or not. Next morning we proceeded to the top of the hill where the old town stands, and were astonished to find such a scene of desolation. Narrow, winding, steep streets, with a few miserable-looking inhabitants—some moving listlessly along, and . others looking at them and us from the windows, were almost the only objects that attracted notice. The site of the caste is now a dreary 'scene of desolation, and though there are still a great number of houSes; they are nearly as destitute of inhabitants as Pompeii or Herculaneum. The intervening spaces and streets were covered with rank grass and weeds, on which a stray mule or half-starved ass was feeding: The convent and church are the only bUildingS in repair. We entered the church, where a priest, attended by a little boy, was performing mass to empty walls. Swift's definition of a parson preaching without an au dience, and addressing his clerk " Dearly beloved Roger," occurred to every one. The walls of this town were destroyed by the French on their retreat from Portugal. When fully inhabited it might con tain 14,000 inhabitants, but I do not believe there is at present half that number. Our troops passed it on their march up the country, and were well received by the inhabitants. Two triumphal arches of wood were erected on the occasion, and still remain. It has a college, but the number of students is very small. There was a fair at the time we passed, which continues for three days. It commenced on Sunday, and every good Protestant would have, been astonished and scandalised to see such a mumber of priests at tending it on that day—examining the different articles exposed for sale, and conversing on worldly affairs with the shopmen and the people who attended it. Most of the merchandise was of the very worst description. Some coarse hard ware- and cottongoods were the only English inanufactures I observed. The Earl of Sefton entertained a distinguished Party to dinner on Wednesday at his house in Arlington -street, among whom were the Earl and Countess of Jersey, Count Flahault, and Lady Keith, Colonel Russell, Mr. Greville, Mr. Grey, &c. THE OHIO STATE. This portion of the United States of North America affords one of the 'most striking in stances of increase in population and wealth. Only thirty years ago a desert, which scarcely knew the step of civilized man, it has already risen to the third rank in the order of the Union, and before this decade has passed away, will pre sent 1,000,000 active and happy inhabitants. Five years ago this State counted 581,434 inhabitants, and at the present time 850,000, an increase which surpasses all previous experience. Ohio *pis 16 representatives and senators to the General Congress at Washington ; and 72 representatives, with 36 senators, form' the in-. ternal state, or the domestic legislature. Four upper and nine departmental judges administer the law ; and a militia, consisting of cavalry, in fantry, yeomen, &c. can station 150,000 men for the defence of the country. For this view, ' the state is divided into fourteen divisions and forty-eight brigades, under the command re spectively of the same number of generals.— In the past year there were actually enrolled in the State-office 99;997 infantry, 3,292 cavalry, and 1,530 artillery, making a total of 104,819 men. A small part of these receive their arms from, the armories of the United States ; the rest furnish themselves at their own expence. In the register of arms there appear 36,356 muskets, 2,131 pistols, 3,786 daggers and swords, six 36-pounders, and two 4-pounders. Yet all the trade of Ohio has flowed through ,the sister states, and this state has, properly speaking, no foreign commerce ; its exports to the other parts of the Union consist of corn, meal, horned cattle, horses, tobacco, &c., its in-trade of the products of the southern states. Trade is increasing at an extraordinary rate, and on the completion of the canals even this rate must be accelerated. The first of the Ohio canals is 306 miles long, and runs from Portsmouth on the Ohio to Alveland in lake Erie. The second canal, 68 miles long, runs in the direction of Dayton to Cincinnata. From 5,000 to 6,000 labourers are constantly at work on them. In 1828, three fourths of the canals will be completed ; and in 1830, the work be entirely finished. The prin cipal navigation is on Lake Erie and the Ohio river. The' chief harbours on the former are Put-in-Bay, IVlanmee-Bay, the town of San dusky, Cleveland, Fairpot, and Ashtabula.— During the year 1825, 286 ships and steam vessels put into Sandusky Bay alone. Between 40 and 50 schooners and four steam-vessels con stantly trade on Lake Erie. The cultivation of the land is advancing with like rapidity, and is peculiarly promoted by the level character of the country. 504 post-houses carry on the quick interchange of letters. The national capital of the state, according to the estimate under the law of 1825, amounts to 59,506,451 dollars, viz. landed estate, consist ing-of 15,143,309 acres, valued at 37,714,225 dollars ; buildings on the land, valued at 1,549,889 dollars ; property in towns, 7,321,034 dollars ; 138,074 horses, valued at 5,517,810 dollars ; 274,689 heads of horned cattle, 2,201,092 dollars ; capitals - in trade, 5,202,400 dollars. Elementary schools are established throughout the state ; 13 academies, and 5 col leges, at Athens, Oxford, Western Reserve, Kenyon, and Cincinnati,, promote the progress of science. Athens is exclusively devoted 'to theology, and Oxford to medicine ; four other colleges are already incorporated, but have not yet commenced their courses. Sixty-two news papers, of which one is daily, were published at the beginning of this year. , ZOOLOGICAL' SOCIETY.--Mr. Brookes's second Lecture on the Comparative Anatomy of the Ostrich, which was delivered at the house of this Society on Wednesday, attracted a nume rous and distinguished audience. In this Lec ture, Mr. Brookes having adverted to the chain of affinities which leads from the least organised being up to the most perfect type of the animal kingdom--man, entered .at considerable length upon a demonstration of the osteology of the ostrich, and pointed out the various peculiarities of the cranium, of the orbits, with some cursory remarks on the eye ; and when speaking of the temporal bones, made pertinent allusion to the organ of hearing in this extraordinary bird. Ho then proceeded to describe, with great force and clearness, the admirable machinery that forms the vertebrm of the neck, the dorsal vertebra?, the ribs, &c. ; and illustrated his observations by fre quent reference to preparations of those parts in various species of birds, mammalia, rep tiles, &c., and finally, in man. All the preparations; which were handed to the coin pany, were well calculated to create extreme inte rest; and by their aid, and by drawing unremittingly on his own vast and peculiar stores of information, the scientific Lecturer was enabled to elicit many curious facts relative to the anatomical construc tion of the ostrich, and other birds. In referring to the organ of smelling, Mr. Brookes took oc casion to remark on the acuteness of that organ in the eagle, and related a circumstance that hap pened to the fine specimen of that bird now in his possession, and which he has presented to the Society. Having discovered the bodies of two rats, which had died by poison laid for that purpose, and not knowing at the moment how to dispose of them, he deposited them under a heavy pewter basin at some considerable distance from, and out of view of the eagle, which had been quite at liberty on his premises for a leng period. But observing, some hours afterwards, the bird's ingluvies fully distended, he suspected that it might have discovered, by its olfactory organ, the secreted rats—which, on examination, proved to be the case. Doubting, therefore, whether the arsenic Might:not prove as noxious to the eagle as it had previously done to the rats, by the aid of two of his anatomical students, be promptly secured the bird, and by an incision, extracted from it the poisoned animals. Lord GAGE presented a petition from the Half Hundred of Dean, against any alteration in the Corn Laws. Lord REDESDALE presented a similar petition from the occupiers of 150,806 acres of land in the county of Lincoln. MESSAGE FROM THE COMMONS. Mr. WoomousE and other Members of the Commons Appeared at the bar to request a copy of the Report of the Select Committee of the House of Lords, appointed to en quire into the prices of foreign graiß at foreign ports, together with a copy of the minutes of evidence taken before the Committee. The Gentlemen were furnished with the report whilst at the Tar. The Messengers also brought up the Postage Duties Bill. Several petitions were presented against any alteration in the Corn Laws. PORTUGAL. Lord ELLENBOROUGH seeing his Noble Friend who was the head of the Foreign Department in his place, wished to put a question relative to our present peculiar connection with Portugal. It would be in the re collection of their Lordships, that in December last.. a most Gracious Message was delivered from his Ma jesty, stating that he had been called upon for as sistance by the Princess Regent of Portugal, by virtue of a treaty subsisting between the two countries.— A dutiful Address had been presented in answer to this message, and troops were immediately sent to Portugal.— It was then stated by his Majesty's Ministers, that it was impossible to lay the papers connected with that measure before the House ; but it was communicated to their Lordships that his Majesty's Ministers had ascertain ed that there was a just cense for performing what we had stipulated by our treaty to do. The Noble Lord thought. that it was not sufficient that we should be called on by the other party to do any act founded on the treaty, unless there appeared to be a just cause for that demand. It was the duty of his Majesty's Ministers to satisfy themselves upon this point, but since that time to the present no in formation had been laid before their Lordships.— That, perhaps, might have been caused by the dis organised state .of his Majesty's Government, things are now different, said the Noble Lord, and though a. cases fcederis may have then arisen, non constat, that it exists now. The state of Portugal had since undergone a very material change. That rebellious army which had derived such assistance from Spain, was now driven across the fron tiers, and recent accounts told us the troops in the strongest fortress, and those troops the most distinguished, had re volted. It was impossible to look at the state of Por tugal, if indeed we believe the accounts which arrive from Lisbon, or unless the falsehoods coming from Lisbon were so numerous as those lately in circulation through London, and not feel uneasy at the situation of our troops, in that country. There they were, and it was not possible to imagine that they could continue there without being engaged in contests, which were purely of a civil and domestic nature. Feeling as he did the vast importance of the subject, it was his duty to call on his Noble Friend whether he was ready to lay before the House any in formation respecting the present and the late state of affairs in Portugal. „ Lord DUDLEY said it was not at present the intention of his Majesty's Ministers to lay any such information be fore their Lordships. The question was one of the most important and delicate nature, and connected with negoci ations which were now pending. Under these circum stances, he was assured their Lordships would consider his Majesty's Ministers justified in withholding the required information. Lord ELLENBOROUGH—WiII my Noble Friend say whether these negociations are being carded on with the Portuguese or with any other Governments? Lord DUDLEY was understood to decline answering the question. NEW ADMINISTRATION-MR. CANNING. The Duke of NEWCASTLE rose to present a petition against any alteration in the Corn Laws. I intended, said his Grace, to oppose the bill now before us, even when the Noble author of it was in this House. If I were then of that opinion, how much more strongly niust I be inclined to do so when those persons with whom he was associated are driven from the Government, and those checks and safeguards upon which I might rely are removed. It is, I think, the duty of every honest man to come forward at this awful crisis—it is a duty which he owes to his King and his country, to stand boldly forward and dispossess of power that indi vidual—l may perhaps be using a harsh term—but I can find none more appropriate, I apply it of course in a political sense, but I cannot designate him other than the most profligate Minister that ever was in power. I call on you all, my Lords, to come forward and lib4rate his Majesty from the awful and tremendous situation in which he is placed, and to overthrow the most insidious and dangerous coali tion that ever entered into the head of any Statesman to project.—(Loud cheers. )—Thus much my Lords, I felt it my duty to say. Indeed, I should be very sorry if any Member was not sufficiently clear; or if I have not stated my opinions as strongly as I feel them, and I am convinced that in giving utterance to those opinions, I hut express the sentiments of every well-thinking man from John o'Groat's House to the Land's End.—(Cheers.) Lord TEYNH AM presented a petition against any alteration in the Corn Laws, from a Parish in the County of Buckingham, and gave notice that he would move that the petition be taken into consideration in order that the petitioners he heard at the bar of the House against the proposed bill. Lord DARLINGTON, after expressing himself in favour of the bill, and appealing to the recollection of the Noble Lord, who had lately sat on the Woolsack, whether his opinions had not always been in accordance with the principles of his Majesty's present Government, that he was astonished, and saw with greatregret the sudden and violent opposition which was raised against the new Administration. There could be but one of two causes for this, opposition— either a desire of office and place, or an intention to dictate to the Crown what Ministers his Majesty should choose. Both causes were, in his opinion, highly objectionable.— ( Cheers. )—He had but little personal knowledge of the Right Hon. Gent. now at the head,of the Government, but he felt himself bound to declare, that his confidence in it was much strengthened by the accession of that distinguished Statesman. It was with feelings which he could hardly describe, that he heard that Right Hon. Gentleman al luded to in a manner not very uncourteous, and certainly most unparliamentary.—(Cheers.)—The Noble Lord did not stand up as the advocate of that Statesman—he was too feeble for such an undertaking, but he stood there to vin dicate his own character in having associated himself with the new Administration. The Right Hon. Gent. at the head of it entertained principles in favour of civil and religiow liberty—principles on which the Noble Lord had acted for SO years, and what then could be more reasonable than that he should rejoice that the Right Hon. Gent. should hold the present elevated situation ? He had proved himself a great statesman, and fully competent to direct the foreign and domestic policy of the country.—(Cheers.)--The Noble Lord was sure that the opposition to the new Administration which had absolutely commenced before the Ministers had taken their places, was adopted rather with a ♦iew of embarrassing the Government than of serving the country. —(Great cheers.)—The Noble Lord concluded by desig nating the new Administration as the most finished that ever was formed. The Earl of HAREWOOD said, that the whole course of his life was an answer to any insinuation charging him with faction, but he confessed, on the first view, he could not approve of the present Administration,—(Hear. ) He should apologize for not having given notice of his in§ tention to put a question as to the persons composing the present Administration. Like many other persons, he did not know who composed his Majesty's Government. A certain part of the Administration had resigned, and the Country looked for an explanation of the causes of those re signations. Those reasons had been given, and he believed they were satisfactory to the whole community.—(Hear, hear.) It, was generally reported that the present Government was only provisional, and if that was the fact, why not explain the reasons for this extraozdinary, he would not say unparallelled, posture of affairs ? Under all the circum stances, he considered it was the duty of the present Ad ministration to afford their Lordships the fullest satisfac tlon en the manna . In which it was kited, and the ptiiSs bilities of its perforntance. Viscount GODERICH• skid, I do not mien to blaMe the Noble Earl for want of courtesy. Ido not con - plain of his entertaining doubts as to the composition the King's Government. But I think my Noble Friend would have abstained, had he been accurately acquainted with the circumstances which induced the Noble Earl to ad 2zess his observations to 'Min. Lordships. If my Noble Fr lend had been in the House during the interlocutory discussion which had been introduced by the Noble Duke, and if he had heard the Noble Duke express his r.ost unqualified dis approbation of his Majesty's Government, au 1 even his reprobation of the individual whom his Majesty has placed at its head ; if my Noble Friend had heard dna he would not have thought it unnatural that a Noble Lord, who thinks himself justified in bestowing his confidence on Go vernment, should stand up in his place, and, avowing his opinions, explain his reasons for bestowing hie confidence. I lament that the question shonld be diseusseti in this indi rect manner; and I wish, if there are any Noble Lords in the House distrustful of the Government—and no doubt there are many—but be they few or many they have a plain course before them—it is their duty to bring forward a distinct motion, and call on their Lordships to express a decided opinion—(Hear.)—l say this is the Constitutional• me thod, and I was glad to hear the Noble Earl the other night give notice for a motion, which would enable rue to give a distinct explanation, and bring to the test of the approval or disapprobation of that House, the conduct of the Admi nistration. All I want is a fair war. If their Lordships do not repose confidence in the Government, I only ask , Instice ; and that they would pursue the Constitutional method of for cing on some question, by which the Government may he brought to a fair test. If it be not satisfactory—if Noble Lords should think we do not do our duty to our Sovereign and the country—if they should think that, in becoming responsi ble to the King and the country for all our acts, we are not entitled to their confidence—l can onlysay that I shall bow with submission to their decision ; hut I object to the question being agitated by these interlocutory discussions, and I object to our being perpetually called on to plead and to answer questions, without any possibility of bringing the question to a fair issue. I know the generous feeling of my Noble Friend so well, that I am sure he, of ail men, would be the last to support a factious; opposition; but let as not be baited, day after day, without our having en op po-tunity of bringing forward any proofs that we are de serving of the confidence of the country.—(Cheers.) The Marquess of SALISBeRY thought it was some what extraordinary that their Lordships should, be called on to express an opinion of his Majesty's Ministers, while that Ministry . had, as yet, performed no act by which it could be judged.—(Heata hear.)—He looked on the Administration with suspicion ; it was made up of Mem here whc had declared they wished to go out of office, and of others who had staid in office that they might promote a narticulEa• question, which, it was understood, they had re ceived instructions not to bring forward as a Government questiera Others, again, had remained in office, as the lest means of securing a Protestant Parliament and Pro testant King; and all these were united with a body dl men who had previously opposed almost every measure 'hey had brought forward. He saw these things with sus picion; and they indicated, he thought, a change in the principles or in the policy of those who remained in office. It was far from his wish to have addressed ti. ese observe ions to their Lordships, if it had not been for the Noble Earl who had caused the debate.--(Hear, .hear! and no, no. )—He left it to the judgment of th. , r Lordships, whether any thing said by that side of tine House had provoked the discession—(Hear, hear, he: ,)--or which muld justify the application of such words as factious' to the Opposition.—(Hear, hear.)—Not having had as yet the advantage of deciding on any one act of the Go vernment, they could not he taxed with being a faction. He distrusted the Minister at the head of the Government, ')ut he could not on that account be accused of forming a factious Opposition. He could assure the Noble Earl, that it was by no meet's his wish to suspect the motives of any Administration which had received the approbation of his tlajesty. In Vie King he (the Marquis of Salisbury) placed the most pert; Ict con& fence, and he was convinced, that if his Majesty saw that his wishes had been disobeyed, or if pie discovered that measures were adopted under the mask only, and not in the spirit of the Earl of Liverpool's Go vernment, he would at ence call on the country to rid him of such an Administration.—(Hear, hear.)—And if it was not for that confidence which the country plaited in his Majesty, and the conviction they entertained of his armness.—(Loud cries of " order.")' The Earl of HARDWICKE rose to order. He did not think that this sort of conversation ought any longer to be !ontinued; there was no question now before the House— he wished there had been ; but there was not, and it did ieem to him out of order to make such observations. The Noble Earl was proceeding, as we understood, to express his sentiments to meet any question, when Lord ELLENBOROUGH interrupted him, observing that the Noble Earl was himself not speaking in order. The Marquis of SALISBURY resumed, and observed, that he must be permitted to say what was generall understood to be the opinion entertained as to the me tives and the conduct that influenced the highest quar ter, and of what had there tranepired._(Renewed cries of "Order.") His Lordship (looking round to Lord Ellenborough,) then said he should abstain from r -e"in g the matter further, but he could not sit down quietly Lnder the imputation that bad been unjustly east upon h'm by his Noble Friend, who certainly was not a more loyal sub ject than himself, and who could not fail in giving, if he felt it consistent with his duty, his support to the Govern-. medt. He was sorry to find himself complaine of by his Noble Friend for suspecting an Ad.ninistration which he had seen formed in the most extraordinary manner. The Earl of DARLINGTON, in explanatie I, denied that he had used the word " factious," as apylied to the opposition of the Noble Lords on the other side of the House, though, if he had done so, he could not but tbin., he should have been justified when be recoil _cted that a Noble Duke, forming one of the Opposition, had used a term so strong as that of "profligate Minister."—(Hear.) Lord LAUDERDALE could not refrain mom stating, that he did not know why any Noble Lore. was not at liberty to allude, and could not, by the forms of that House,to speak r o e gf which 1 ay r Noble o obl te eh Friend m had attemptingbe en called to order. If his Majesty had thought fit to make any statement with a view to tranquillise the copntry, any Noble Lord in that House was at liberty to ask what it was; and if his Majesty had. done so, he must have done it on the advice of his Ministers, for in that House no act of his Majesty was known, but as an act advised by his Ministers, and for which they were resPonsible. There were Noble Lords near him, who, taking the cue from their former conduct, would have acknowledged their re sponsibility ; but they bad resigned before the act, to which allusion had been made, was performed; and there are others present who then held office, and who had not re signed since; and he repeated, that those who remained in office were responsible for the:acts of tLe Government while they continued there. He had only addressed these obser vations to their Lordships, because he foresaw much incon venience if the right of alluding to these matters was not regulated. Lord FALMOUTH regretted that he was now under the necessity of withdrawing his confidence from some of his Majesty's Ministers, in whom he was formerlf.will ing• to confide, but his confidence was his' own, and he confessed he could not give it to an Administration con stituted as the present was. Lord ELLENBOROUGH agreed with Noble Lords opposite that it was the undoubted right of his Majesty to choose his own Ministers, but, he held as firmly that it was - the undoubted right of Parliamint to express its opinion on all public questions.—(Hear, hear.)—What dependence could be placed in the present Adminis tration, when it was well known that several Noble Lords presiding over the highest department of the State, only held their present situations until other Noble Lords though: proper to accept them.—(Hear, hear.).—No doubt the change would take place when the Session was over or nearly over. This. measure he bad no doubt would be consummatNl in the dark—(Hear, hear, h'ar.) and, therefore, no dou'A it was convenient that all notices of motions should be withdrawn, as was seen in another place, and that no public measures should be introduced by Government that could possibly be avoided. The effect of this arrangement u as, that a year would be lost to the country. He had heard with surprise, from a Noble Earl (Darlington), that he (Lord D.) had agreed with the prin ciples of his Majesty's present Ministers for a period of 30 years, but notwithstanding this long and complete coinci dence of opinion, it was not at the 11th, lant at the 31st hour that the Noble Earl thought of giving there principles his support. The Noble Earl and and all hia friends, how ever, it now appeared, had given their support to his Ma jesty's Government, but how far the country would con. sider that support disinterested he would not now in quire. It was well known that all the good things were not yet disposed of, and it remained to be seen whether the coalition which had taken place between the Noble Lord and his friend., and the pre sent Ministry, was founded in a sacrifice of private feeling to public principle, or whether it was to be looked upon as a mere common vulgar transac tion of willing political seduction, only remarkable, for being perpetrated with the appearance of a little VICTUALLING OFFICE, MAY 8, 1827.
