MONDAY, DEC. 12. Tar Marquis of Sr/aroma was sworn, and took his seat, on his accession to that Peerage on the demise of his father, the late Marquis; as was also the Earl of BRISTOL, on a similar occasion. The LORD CHANCELLOR quitted the Wool sack, and acquainted their Lordships he held a Paper in his hand, shaped as a Petitton, and pur porting to be the Petition of Allan Macleod, now in confinement in Newgate, under a Vote of their Lordships' House, upon a Question of Privilege, humbly hoping that their Lordships would take into their consideration the length of the confinement he had undergone, and stating , his utter inability, to liquidate the fi ne which had been imposed, dec. His Loid4hip stated (as, we could co11c8) that the, application had been made to him on the part of Mr. Macleod in the way of Letter, introdudtory to the Petition, which he deemed it his ditty to pre sent to their -Lordships. The Petition Was ordered to lie on the Table. Several of the Bills before the House were. then forwarded•in their reipeCtive stages. On the suggeition of Lord Ga tray' c LE ) who ob. served, that probably the impending discussion of this evening, which was on a subject confessedly of still more importance than even that in question, the order for the third reading of the Bank Restric. tion Bill, which stood for this day, Was poitpooed ' till to,morrow. On the Order relative to the Expiring Laws Bill being read, The Earl of SUFFOLK, who had slightly ad. vented to the sohjeet before, on seeing the Noble Secretary of State in his place, took the opportunity 'to request some information relative to an important consideration which was involved in the Bill above t mentioned. What he alluded to was, two Annuities which were granted for special purposes in the Reign of Queen Ann, and which were to have expired in the course of a few months. He wished to be informed of the amount of the Annuities in question, and what manner the Public would be benefited by their falling in ? Lord HAWK.ESBURY observed, that at present he was not prepared to give the Noble Earl a saris faElory answer on the subject: however, that con. sideration would obviously form no objection to the progress.of the Bill, as the option. would salt, re main as to their future disposal. The ,Bill then passed through its pending stages. On the occasion of the Curates' Relief Bill be , ing read a second time, The Earl of SUFFOLK again rose and stated, that though he could not objeCt to the second read. ing 'of the Bill, he felt it incumbent on him to state, that the measure, in his opinion, by no means went far enough. He had endeavoured to obtain extensive information on the subject, anti had received several letters on the topic ; and he understood, that such were the situation and cir cumstances of several Curates, that they were ne cessitated to officiate under the ordinary or regular rate of salaries. This was 'a consideration which should operate on the minds of the Legislature. 7— Every pradicable care ' should also be taken that the Monies voted should be scrupulously applied to the purposes intended : and his Lordship suggested the .propriety of providing some regular place or , office, wherein the money should be paid, and duly distributed. The Order of the Day being read .for the second reading of the Irish Habeas Corpus. SuspenSion Bill, .. .. .. Lord HAW.KESBURY rose, and in a neat and impressive Speech, addressed their Lordships upon the subject. The topics in question s the Noble Secretary of State professed to consider rather ge nerally, deeming a detailed view of a subject of which so much was cm public record, and so much ,confessedly of public notoriety, unnecessary on the prearnr occasion, After 'adverting generally to the present situation and circumstances of Ireland; he proceeded to observe, that the Bills before the House (for he should in a great degree identify the measure now regularly under discussion, with that for the continuing of Martial Law in Ireland, as essentially connected with .each other) were der. thinly of a questionable nature, and went to enait provisions which nothing short of necessity could, justify the expedient of recurring to; this leading principle had regulated his conduct, and that of those with whom he had the honour Co, 41. 'With respekt to . the, measures ih question, not only with regard to their origin and continuance, but with regard to their system of executing them, nothing short of the pre'ssure of necessity could in their esti. mation justify them in any of these considerations. Their Lordships well . knesv, as did the Country at large, moist of the leadinir circumstances, not only ofahe former Rebellion in Ireland, but of the late foul and atrocious Conspiracy, though the latter certainly did not appear on that, .extensive and alattning scale on which the Insurreaion of 1798 ptoceeded, still its objects 'and views were notori ouSly the same, and it was certainly to be regarded as a symptom of.a spirit'ofdisiffettion and revolt to a considerable degree extended through that part of the United Kingdom, It was by no means the wish of His Majesty's Government to have recourse to coercive measures, such as the present. ,In a late daring and atrocious Conspiracy in this Country,„ the Moderation. of their yaws, and their warm regard for the sacred principles of the Constitution were unequivocally manifested. No measures of the nature of these under considera tion, were proposed by His Majesty's Ministers, inasmuch as they did nut Gumidc 1 theta justified by • T H SUN. the necessity of the case. The existing Laws were deemed sufficient for the purpose, and these were left to take their course. Even in the case before them, to a certain degree, the attention of Govern ment to the genuine principles of the Constitution, were clearly apparent ; it was known that the King, in virtue of his prerogative, could declare Martial Law ; but such a proceeding would involve,the ex- tinClion of the Common Law. Now, one of the Bills before their Lordships, indepenclent of the proteCtion it would obviously extend to His Ma jesty's loyal and well-affeded subjects in Ireland, would secure to them at the same time the advan. taps and enjoyment- of the Common Law. He observed, that the Government of Ireland had, in carrying those measures into uffe6l, uniformly evinced. the _greatest moderation and caution, as well as administered the extensive . powers - neces--. sarily vested. in- them with adequate vigour and did. It wasin the nature and principles of the British Constitution, that a partial sacrifice of it& . blessings may be temporarily made, in order to se cure the whole of jts advantages unimpaired, and enable those who administered, it, to transmit its blessings pure arid undiminished to posterity.. .It ; was on the great principles,. and on the grOunds he had adverted to, that His Majesty's Government: came to Parliament, for the ,continuance of those , . salutary and efficacious measures, and which, 'under ; all the circumstances of the case, they ,considered the existing state of Ireland. as justifying thou 'in bringing forward. After some farther obsetvations on, the above general' topics, 'His Lordship moved, That this Bill be now read a second time." The Earl of SUFFOLK rose, nut to oppose the ' Motion, which he admitted the necessity of the case justified, but to offer a few observations; which he felt it incumbent on him to take the present op. portunity to . make. Xhough he admitted the pre sent circumstances of Ireland might justify the con tinuanceof the strong measures under consideration, yet he wasof opinion that the present situation of that Country was . owing 19 the existence of impor. tant grievances, ,which it was the duty of the Le. gislature at least to inquire into. By such inquiry alone, Could the proper remedies be ascertained. He thought a ,Commission ofJequiry should, at the earliest conveniept opportunity, be iestitot r ed, .At may be in the recolledion• of their Lordships,, that after the suppression of a. formidable Rebellion, in an early part of the History of. Ireland, and when Lord Bacon filled, the office of Chancellor, that great man recommended the expedient of,a Commis sion of Inquiry to a certain degree, such as he had, in contemplation; What he thought would be pro, p er was, at as soon as' the affair of menaced In vasi drat .: on was settled, that a Commission of three or four competent persons should be sent to Irelaod, for the purpose of txamining and inquiring into the state of the different Counties, by which means the real state of that part of the Country could he ascer, vaned, and the proper remedies .suggested. He was free to give His Majesty's present Ministers, full credit, on the score of Lenity, considering them 'as persons not likely to abuse the powers vested in them on such ati,occasioo as the present, and which consideration had its share in forming hia mind upon the question before their Lordships. Lard KING agreed in much of what had.fallen, from the Noble Earl who had spoken last, He was a n advocate for the measure of inquiry into time grievances of Ireland, and on the grounds stated by his Noble Friend. With resped, however, to the particular ,measure in question, he thought •that ade quate information was necessary to be laid before Parliament, in order to enable it to form a. judgment, of the necessity. which existed of. continuing mea- . swell of such a strong nature, and an inconsistent with the free principlea,of the British Constitution. Yet nothing of that sort was.communicated. The allegation of public notoriety was in his mind not sufficient in such a case... The Laws were,the best safeguard of the Subjed ; but these measures, &tr_ lug their continuance, obviously militated against the ordinary course and operation of the Laws. lie re pemed that information should be laid befort.Parlia.. , ' aunt, respeding the aduaL State of Ireland, or at least so faraswouldshew the necessity ofaga in resorting to such lacing and questionable.measures. In his present view of the case, he could not avoid considering the Bills in.question, rather as 0.15 to put down Peti tionsind Remonstrance% than for the protedion of liislYi.ijesty's loyal Sobjeds,in Ireland, • 7he ,Marguli 0f51.1G..9 rose to give his hearty assent to the measures proposed by the Noble Lord, After what had been so ablyltated by his Lordship, it was r unneceasary for him to take up the time of the House in recommending them. He was fully convinced, as far as his personal knowledge of the present state of Ireland went, of. the necessity of the continuance of the measures. in qnestion: the laiefoul and atrocious conspiracy may not he pn so extensive and alarming a 'scale ns the: Rebellion which had preceded it, but lie fully acquiesced.in the opinion of the Noble Secretary, of State that the rece n t aff a ir ,bose, Ihn4amc stamp: and charafter with theJtehellion of :1198,. and .had milar °Ned% On the whole,. he deemed himself fully justified in supporting the Motion. , Lord GRENVlLLE.`delivered his sentiments up.. on the occasion at some length,, and with his ,usual ability. He admitted that the Noble Lord who opened the Debate, was ; to a certain degree,. jug. ,tified in identifying the two . Bills in question, but no farther, as, in ,soine point* of view,,,hr.dented them essentially different. , Ppon the whole, he awned th e present question of so peculiar and .mo. mentous a nature, that lte could nor, though des, stitbuject titute degree. o! almost every of information on the. u give his decided negative to. the present Motion.

But nothing at` than kind appeared: no information whatever was brtattlit forward. He contended that it rested with HieMajes. ty's Ministers to skew the necessity of such strong measures—with them lay the labouring- oar. He would recall to the recollection of the House what had been notified in the last Cemmunication from the Throne, namely, that Ireland was in a state of tranquillity. How such A declaration &Mid be re. tonciled with the want conduat . of Ministers;-be was at' a lose to decide ; that consideration alone, he thought, was sufficient to point out the necessity of informing Parliament .upon the subjeEt.

He complimented the Noble Secretary of State, cm the vety able way in which he had taken up the subjed, in which he theuglat that Noble .Lord had manifested much discrimination and ability.

With respect to what had been said of the uninterrupted course of the administratioo, of justice in Ireland, and the free operation of the Law,lie had to observe, that these instances whielt' bed recently obtained, Were solely owing to the circa of those very-measures which the Noble Lord seemed to think so highly questionable.
