DEVIZES, MAY 15, 1832. AT a Public Meeting of the inhabitants of DEVIZES and its Neiehourhood, held this day in the Loug Room of the Bear Inn, " for the purpose of agreeing to an Address to his Majesty, and a petition to the House of Commons, on the delay of the Reform Bill, and the resignation of his Majesty's Ministers," WADHAM LOCKE, of Rowde-ford-house, Esq. in the Chair; The following Resolutions, Address, and Petition, were agreed to:— Moved by Mr. C. L. Pturrs, seconded by Mr. CART wRIGHT, That this meeting views with feelings of the deepest sorrow and indignation the conduct recently pursued by the House of Peers, by which the measure of Reform introduced into that House has been defeated —by which a Ministry whose honour, ability, and integrity inspired general confidence, have be en compelled to resign ; and by which the nation is suddenly over. whelmed with disappointment and dismay. - - Moved by Mr. SCOT F. seconded by Mr. HITGIIES, That the cordial thanks of this meeting be given to Earl Grey, and his consistent and manly coadjutors, for their honesty in in troducing, their ability in carrying the measure through the House of Commons, and, so far as they were allowed, through the House of Lords; and for their magnanimity iu at once re. tiring from office, rather than bemade the instruments of duping the country. Moved by Dr. BRABANT, seconded by Mr. AINSTIE, That an address be presented to his Majesty, expressive of the regret and disappointment experienced by this meeting, and im ploring his Majesty to place his confidence only in men of in tegrity—men who are not merely pledged, but sincerely disposed to carry a measure of Reform as full and efficient as that pro posed by his Majesty's late Ministers, and twice adopted by the House of Commons ; and also that the address mow to be read be adopted by the meeting : TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. SIRE,—We your Majesty's dutiful and 'oval subjects, Inhabi tants of the borough of Devizes and its vicinity, beg humbly to approach the Throne at this eventful and alarming crisis, when the intrigues of interested men have succeeded in arresting the progress of that great measure on which the hopes of the nation have been so long and so ardently fixed. We earnestly implore your Majesty to retain in your Councils men of integrity only—men who are not merely pledged, but sin cerely disposed to carry a measure of Reform, equally efficient with that introduced under your Majesty's sanction by your Ma jesty's late Ministers, twice adopted by the House of Commons, and the principles of which have been approved by the House of Peers. We implore your Majesty, by the strong attachment which your devoted people have ever manifested towards your Royal person—by our hopes that the Throne may be long filled by your illustrious family—and by all that we hold dear as aen and as Britons, to promote those measures which alone can rescue our country from anarchy —preserve its peace, and restore its pro sperity. Moved by Mr. AIONTAGUE GORE; seconded by the Rev. Mr.MAvo, That a Petition be presented to the House of Commons, im. ploring them to exert their rightful authority to prevent the catastrophe which, in consequence of the rejection of the Reform Bill, appears to impend over this country, and which, without their intervention, must inevitably ensue; and further, to use every constitutional power they possess to carry the wishes of the people into effect ; and for that purpose to refuse to grant further Supplies to any Administration, which is not merely pledged, but which is also sincerely disposed to carry Reform to an extent equal to that recently proposed by Earl Grey's administration, which has been approved by the nation—twice sanctioned by the House of Commons, and which, we conceive, will not only secure the rights of the people, but give stability to the Crown ; and further, that the petition now to be read be adopted by the Meeting. TO THE HONOURABLE THE COMMONS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRE LAND, IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED. We, the Inhabitants of the Borough of Devizes and its vici. pity, *viewing, as we do, the late rejection of the Beform Bill as the act of a faction, inimical to the best interests of the commu. pity, and opposed to the true principles of constitutional free. dom, implore your Honourable House to exert its rightful au. thority, to prevent the catastrophe that such rejection (without the immediate intervention of your Honourable House) must inevitably produce. We therefore implore your Honourable House to use every constitutional power you possesss, to carry the wishes of the people into effect, and to refuse to grant further supplies to any Administration which is not merely pledged, but which is not also sincerely disposed to carry Reform to an extent equal to that recently proposed by Earl Grey's Administration, which has been approved by the nation, twice sanctioned by your Honour able House, and which we humbly conceive will not only secure the rights of the people, but give stability to the Crown. Moved by Mr. ARMSTRONG, seconded by Mr. WHIT- CH UHCH. That the Marquess of Lansdowne be requested to present the Address to the King, and the Members for the County the Peti tion to the House of Commons. Moved by Mr. INA LL, seconded by NIT'.

BRISTOL REFORM MEETING. AT a PUBLIC MEETING of the IN HABITANTS of BRISTOL and its Vicinity , held on Monday, the 14th day of 1114 y, 1832, f or the pur pose of Addres , .ing his Majesty and Petitioning the House of Commons on the present Momentous Crisis of Public Affairs. W. P. TAUNTON, Esq. in the Chair ; 1. Resolved (with only one dissentient)—That this meeting views with the utmost anxiety and alarm the recent deci sion of a majority of the House of Lords, as it clearly ma nifests their unchanged hostility to the principles and extent of that Reform Bill brought in under the sanction of his most gracious Majesty, which has received the almost universal approbation of the nation, and has bean passed by an immense majority of those Members of the Howe of Commons who have any claim to be the representatives of the people, and which Bill alone the people of England can be expected to accept as a satis factory and conclusive measure. _ _ _ 2. Resolved unanimously—That the welfare of the country imperatively demands a speedy settlement of the Reform Question, which it is most preposterous to expect from any measure, conducted by those who have done all that was in their power to mutilate the Bill now before the House of Lords, and have protested against it as most revolu tionary ill its character ; and that no Bill is likely to be efficient and satisfactory to the country which is not carried under the auspices of Earl Grey and his patriotic colleagues. 3. Resolved unanimously — That , wit h these views, this meetin g deeply laments that, after a special appeal to his people,. on_ the que stion of Reform, by the dissolution of Parliament, and the firm ness displayed on the late prorogation, his Majesty should have refused to take those constitutional steps which his responsible advisers recommended, and which the present unprecedented crisis of national affkirs demands, in order to reconcile the two Houses cf Parliament, and to restore tranquillity to the cou n t r y . 4. Resolved (with only one dissentient)—That the following Andreas, founded on the foregoing resolutions, be signed by the Chairman on behalf of the meeting ; and that his Royal Highness the Dukeof Sussex be respectfully requested to present the same.— " TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY, " We, your Majesty's most loyal and faithful subjects, inha bitants of the city of Bristol and its neighbourhood, in public meeting assembled, beg permission again to approach your Ma. jesty's throne, with affection to your Majesty's person and loyalty to your Government. i The welfare of your Majesty's kingdom imperatively de mands a speedy settlement of the question of Parliamentary Re. form; and your Majesty's faithful subjects were congratulating themselves that, under the firmness displayed by your Majesty, and the talents and integrity of your Government, a question which has agitated the country for snore than half a century, Was on the eve of being terminated in accordance with the wishes and expectations of a great majority of your people. But, we were filled with the utmost aston i s h m ent and dismay on learning that your Majesty had been induced to re tuse compliance with the counsels of your responsibles advisers, which could alone enable them to carry the great measure of Re form in uu suchios the of . uninutilated shape as would justify the reasonable ex ua e pe o pl e, public and and secure them a continuance of the We humbly represent to your Majesty our conviction that no nsealure of Reform less full and of than that sow ih pro gress through Parliament will be isatisfactory ; and as we cannot trust the conducting such a measure to those who have, notwithstanding their hollow profession, proved themselves the undiscriminating enemies of any real Reform, and have protested against the present Bill as of a most revolutionary character, we earnestly implore your Majesty to recal to your Councils Earl Grey and his colleagues, than whom no set of Ministers ever enjoyed more entirely the confidence of the people." [After an amendment put for omitting the clause rela tive to the Mutiny Bill, which was supported by six gen tlemen on l y, w i t h one dissentient voice on the original question,] he. 11 "'Iven—That the House of Commons are bound, both by nourand consistency, not to give their support to any Ministers which will n ot carry into a law, unimpaired in any of its essential clauses, the Reform Bill to which they have given their sanction by such overwhelming jo *ties • and that as the most constitu tional means of securin n,,la thi r s i great ' object, it is the duty of all real p esentatives of the pelt' ple, strenuously to refuse supplies to any r a e lin r ist r not ears legally bei'dolsiese,s c e o d rr o i f the public confidence, to appoint, if it and to withhold the renewal m of the er 'scion to m ruectieniyveutilre already voted, Resolved unanimously, That the following petition, signed by the hairmitn on behalf of the Meeting, be addressed to the (No. 12,381.) House of Commons, and that James Evans Baillie and Edw arcs Protheroe, jun. Esqs. our Representatives in Parliament, be re quested to present the same and to support the prayer thereof. " TO THE HONOURABLE THE COMMON'S OF THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRE LAND IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED. " THE HUMBLE PETITION OF THE I 'HABITANTS OF BIUSTOL AND ITS VICINITY, IN PUBLIC MEET ING ASSEMBLED, SHEWITTII—That your petitioners are grateful for the sup port atibrded by such large majorities of your Honourable House to the measure of Parliamentary Reform introduced by his Ma jesty's late Ministers ; but they view with the utmost dismay the factious opposition it has met with, and they contemplate with alarm the retirement from his Majesty's Councils of a Ministry that so fully enjoyed the public confidence. That as the speedy settlement of this important question is essential to the peace and prosperity of the nation, your petition ers implore that your future conduct, in reference to it, may be as consistent with your previous decision ; and that you will strenuously refuse to grant supplies to any Ministry which does not possess the public confidence, to appoint, if it may legally be done, Commissioners to receive those already voted, and to withhold the renewal of the Mutiny Bill." 7. Resolved unanimously—That Earl Grey and his colleagues are deserving of our warmest gratitude for the noble stand which they have made in defence of the people's rights, and for their disinterested and unflinching constancy to the principles of the Reform Bill. S. Resolved unanimously—That the cordial thanks of this Meeting be given to James Evan Baillie and Edward Protheroe, jun. Esqs. our Representatives in Parliament, for the zealous support they have given to his Majesty's Ministers on this most important question, which has entitled them to the gratitude and confidence of their Constituents. 9. Resolved unanimously—That if the resignation of Ministers should be followed by a dissolution of Parliament, this meeting stands pledged to use every exertion to return James Evan Baillie, and Edward Protheroe, jun., Esquires, our present represents. tives, they having proved themselves to be the true friends of the people. 10. Resolved unanimously—That the thanks of this Meeting be given to the Reform Committee and the other gentlemen who signed the requisition to the Mayor, and afterwards called this Meeting. 11. Resolved unanimously—That the thanks of this Meeting be given to the Editors of the Bristol Mercury, the Bristol Gazette, the Bristol Times, and of those London Papers, particu larly of The Sun, who have advocated the cause of Reform, and consequently the rights of the people. 12. Resolved unanimously—That the foregoing resolutions be inserted in the Globe and Sun London Newspapers, and in the Bristol Gazette and Mercury. (Signed) W. P. TAUNTON, Chairman. The Chairman having quitted the Cnair, the thanks of the Meeting were unanimouly voted to him for his con duct therein. EDINBURGH REFORNI PUBLIC MEETING. AT a MEETING of the INHABITANTS of EDINBURGH and its VICINITY, held in the KING'S PARK, on the 15th May, 1832, Sir THOS. RIADICK LAUDER, Bart. of Fountain Hall, in the Chair, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted : I. :That this meeting has heard, with feelings of the deepest - re_ gret and indignation, of the late vote of one branch of the Le. gislature, destructive of the leading principles of the Bill for Re. forming the representation of the empire. 2. That the representation of rotten burghs is a pollution of the Commons' House of Parliament, and a degradation of the Constitution of Great Britain—equally inconsistent with its strength, purity, and vigour; while the power of nomination ap pears, with some distinguished exceptions, (which the couutry duly appreciate,) to corrupt the hearts, and debase the under standings of those who pretend to consider it their property. 3. That, in these circumstances, it is the undoubted right of the Commons of Great Britain to withhold ail future supplies, and to exercise the most rigid constitutional control over those already voted, until a Ministry shall be formed, pledged and em powered to secure success to a Bill at least as efficient and ex tensive as that which was lately approved of by the Commons' House of Parliament, in carrying into effect the great principles of disfrachisement, enfranchisement, and the 101. qualification. 4, That the meeting continue their unabated confidence in Earl Grey ; the early, the firm, and upright supporter of Re form ; and bitterly deplore that he and his colleagues have been compelled, by insidious arts, to relinquish office at a time when their services are absolutely necessary to avert the calamities with which the country is threatened. 5. That the following petition be presented to the House of Commons by Francis Jeffrey, Esq. That the meeting earnestly recommend to all their brother Reformers, prudence, firmness, and unwearied perseverance, ac. companied with undeviating submission to the laws ; being con vinced that violence and intemperance, on their part, can alone frustrate the just expectations of the nation. 7. That, in the event of a dissolution of Parliament taking palce, the meeting call upon the electors of the United Kingdom, not to give their votes to any candidate who shall not pledge himself to vote for withholding all supplies, un it the measure of Reform, already sanctioni d by the House of Commons, shall, in its fullest extent, be conceded to the country. S. That a I •ommitt ee be appointed, consisting of the members of the last Reform Committee and the present one, with powers to make such additions to the numbers as they shall find neces. sary, for the purpose of getting the petition signed and forwarded to the House of Commons. 9. Thanks to the Chairman. T. DICK LAUDER, Chairman, ROD. MACKENZIE, Secretary. THE PETITION. UNTO THE HONOURABLE THE COMMONS OF THE UNITED KINGDOMS OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND; THE HUMBLE PETITION OF THE UNDERSIGNED INHABITANTS OF EDINBURGH AND ITS VI. CINITY, Snr.wrw,—That your petitioners have learned, with affliction and dismay, the second defeat of the measure of Reform which has twice received the approbation of your Honourable House, and which, from its first announcement by the late Ministers of the Crown, was hailed with gratitude and exultation by the people, as being that measure which, alone, in this season of un. parrelleled difficulty and danger, could preserve in their integrity the political institutions of the State,—repairing them against the injuries of time,—adapting them to the new and increasing exigencies of the country,—consolidating them in all their parts,—and strengthening the constitution by deepening its foundations, and extending its basis. That, in this so cruel disapponitment of their best hopes, em bittered by the unavoidable resignation of the late Ministers, who commanded, because they merited, the confidence of their Countrymen, but relying for redress on the Law and Constitu tion, which they know to be sufficient, your petitioners still ap proach your Honourable House with their entreaties and their prayers, that, in this momentous crisis,--presenting disorder, violence, civil commo' ion, anarchy, on the one hand, but hold. ing out peace, security, national union, and good government on the other,—you will be pleased to exert for the achievement of that great, and salutary, and necessary measure, all those powers with which the Constitution has invested you, as more peculiarly the guardians of the liberties of the people. That, not doubting your zeal for the interests of the people.— not distrusting, and with no presumptuous wish to counsel, your wisdom by this measure approved,—but impelleded by feelings too strong to be repressed,—your petitioners, in more especial reference to the privilege of granting or refusing the supplies, do, in all humility, beseech you,--as a remedy not beyond the occa sion,—to withhold all public supplies, till the Reform santioned by your Honourable House on its own Constitution, shall, in every essential principle and important provision, be conceded to your resolves, and to the prayers of the country. That your petitioners are confident that in these, as in other past hours of peril, your Honourable House wilLbe found in the front of the nation ; and while your petitior7iimplore you to go on and finish the redeeming work you ha - Thegun, your pp_ titioners assure your Honourable House of the firm support of the people in a cause which they have sworn on the altars of their country, for themselves and their children's children, never to desert, and of which they never will despair. And your petitioners shall ever pray. REFORM-LEITH PUBLIC MEETING.

HOUSE OF COMMONS. Owing to a call of the House the gallery was not opened until Half-past Five o'clock, and upon our admission, we found that a question was before the House relative (as we understood) to the non-attendance of some of the Members. On the question being put, Mr. HUME said that he would he sorry to put any Members to any inconvenience beyond what was necessary ; but he should be obliged to enforce the motion, unless something was then stated that would render it unnecessary. He would therefore ask the Noble Lord (Althorp.) whether any arrange ments had yet been made, for the purpose of satisfying the country respecting the Reform Bill. Lord ALTHORP then rose, and the buz and noise atten dant on a very crowded House instantly subsided into a deathlike silence. He said I rise, Sir, to give the House a statement in accordance with thewish of the Hon. 11Ietnber. I beg to state that since I was last in this House his Majesty's Ministers have received such security for the passing of she Reform Bill as appears to them most sati,factory— (lmmense chpers)—and that therefore we shall continue to hold our offices as hitherto.—(Loud and lonz cheering.) Lord MILTON under the circumstances, and for the statements which the House has just heard, I beg leave to state, for the information of many to whom my intentions were not communicated, that after the assurance we have just heard, it is no lonzer my intention to submit to :the House the address which I had intended to move.—(Hear, hear, anti cheers.) (LEFT SITTING.) THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock. Sir ROBERT PEEL rose amidst loud and deafening cheers. The Hon. Baronet observed, that he was not aware of the intention of the Noble Lord to make any intima tion to the House of the nature he had just done; but as a man deeply interested in the prosperity of the country, and anxiously and ardently wishing for the termination of the present state of affairs, that, had the Noble Lord not made the announcement be had done, he should have felt it his duty to have called upon him for some explanation on the subject, and he should have entreated the Noble Lord, not without notice, not without giving an opportunity for mature deliberation, to put the House in possession of how Ministers stood with his Majesty. He had, however, been precluded from performing that duty by the communication which the Noble Lord had just made.—(Loud cheers.) He trusted, however, that the House would permit him, as the crisis was peculiar, to make a few explanations as to himself. He trusted, however, the House would not grudge him a few minutes while he stated the grounds on which he had formed the decision he did. On Wednesday last a communication was made to him by a Noble Friend of his, for whom, notwithstanding - all the calumnious assertions gone forth--(Tremendous cheers) — he was proud to avow the sincerest admiration for his talents and esteem for his character, (he meant Lord Lyndhurst) who informed him, not that be had had a communication from his Majesty to form a new Administration, but that his Majesty bad selected him for having filled the office of Lord Chancellor, and, as being a judicial character, for the purpose of conferring with him on the state of the country. That Noble Lord had inquired of him whether he considered it to be in his power to enter into the service of the King at the present moment, stating, at the same time, that the King, by the resignation of his late Ministers, bad been deprived of carrying his declaration into effect of carry ing the Reform Bill. He must admit that it cer tainly was then notified to him, and he was bound in honour to state it, that the only other person with whom any conference hail been had was his Grace the Duke of Wellington, and that that Noble Personage had determined to assist his Majesty, wishing for no office, but who would have accepted office if cir cumstances required it, or, if not, he was willing to assist the King, with his services, without taking any office, although no communication of that sort was ever made to him (Sir Robert), yet as he saw no advantage in reserve at that moment, he must state thnt he certainly did understand from the question that was put to him, that the tendency of the inquiry of Lord Lyndhurst was, whe ther he was willing to accept the office, which, in po litical life, was supposed to he the highest in the State. (Cheers.) It certainly was not notified to him, and he was b .und in justice to the King to confine the declarations which had been made by the Noble Friend that the accept ance of office must be upon the clear understanding that his Majesty's declarations with respect to Reform should be fulfilled—(Loud cheering on the Ministerial Benches)— that the acceptance of that office must be upon the condi tion of his introducing an extensive measure of Re __. form.—(Cheers.) Hi; reply to Lord Lyndhurst, he admitted, was made at the impulse of the mom. nt, but it was done under those impulses of feeling which it was utterly impossible for him to control, and for which he trusted the House would give him credit. His reply to Lord Lyndhurst was, that it was utterly impossible for him to accept office on the condition of proposing such a measure of Reform—that as from the course he (Sir Robert) had hitherto adopted with respect to the Reform Bill, it was utterly impossible for him to accept office, understand ing, as he did, that the phrase " extensive Reform,' meant the adoption of the leading provisions of the Bill as it now stood. He had always considered the Bill fraught with injustice, both in its prin ciple and in its details, and he had before expressed his determination to oppose it to the last. How therefore, he would ask the House, could be, with justice to himself or to his Majesty, have accepted the office of a mediator, when he was the very person, from his own peculiar feelings upon the subject, who would be most lixely to put an end to all mediation.—(Mach cheering.) The ground, therefore, on which he vindicated the course he had taken, was the peculiar situation in which be stood. He did not call in question the motives of others ; he held those motives in the highest respect. He had nu doubt they had acted from the most disinte rested motives, but it was from a sense of honour, from a sense of the situation in which he stood, and from the peculiar situation in which he was placed, he had thought it his duty to give a direct refusal to take office. Upon the Catholic Question he had given advice to his Majesty, but upon the pret.ent question, had he t 'ken offic , , he must haue introduced into that House a measure upon which he had recorded his opinions:as strongly against. He could not have done so without lowering himself in the esteem both of himself and his friends. He felt that it would not be for the public advantage, nor for the cha racter of public men, bad he accepted office upon such terms —',Cheers.) (Left speaking.) HOUSE OF LORDS. EDUCATION IN IRELAND. The Duke of BUCCLEUCH and Lord ELDON presented petitions from Dalkieth, and certain Protestants of Man chester, against the new plan of Education in Ireland. rom the Opposition.) He felt that it might be necessary for him to say a few words in explanation of the visa which he had taken of the question of Reform, and of the course which it was his intention to pursue—(Hear. hear, hear)—in the further proceedings upon it. When the former Bill of Reform was before their Lord- Ihips in th , ' last Session of Parliament, he was necessarily prevented from attending in his place in the Hour. by the interference of various dioc. san duties which be had to discharge in Yorkshire, at that particular time, duties which hail ever appeared to him paramount in importance to any other duties which might attach to a Bishop in his legislative capacity, where neither the interests of religion, nor the rights and duties of the clergy, are the immediate subjects under the consideration of Parliament. Had he been present at that period he should have given his vote for the second reading of that Bill, and simply on this principle, that it was a Bill which, applying directly and especially to the constitution of the House of Com mons, had been sent up to their Lordships by a very large majoriry of that House, which had the preponde rance of public opinion and public feeling in its favour, and the object of which was avowedly sanctioned by the Crown. He said, then, that he should have voted for the second eading of that Bill, on the plain principle that the provi sions of any Bill so introduced into that House, annd so advocated of it, were entitled to the fullest consideration of their Lordships.--(Hear, hear, hear.) On the very same ground and on the very same reason he gave his vote for the second reading of the present Bill, with a firm and sincere purpose of afterwards supporting in Com mittee its three essential principles of enfranchisement disfranchisement and an extension of the suffrage. Not withstanding the order in which he had enumerated these principles, he was not the less prepared to support to the fullest extent the principle of dis franchisement, but he had ever considered that enfran chisement was the true and proper ground on which to rest disfranchisetne. It was his opinion th it enfranchise ment should precede disfranchisement, and had, conse quently, the other night supported the proposition of the Noble Baron (Lyndhurst), not at all anticipating— (" Hear," from Lord Grey)—the effect of the decision on that point. For he was well assured that the Noble Earl, and he alone, could conduct this difficult business.— ( Hear.) Of the propriety of a very exrensive enfranchise ment, the intercourse which for 24 years he had continually kept up with the great manufacturing towns in the West Riding of York, afforded him abundant proofs. He re ferred principally to those of Leeds, Bradford Halifax, and Huddersfield. He had received (their Lordships would be sorry to hear) a letter from the Lord Mayor of York, ac quainting him that he had found it necessary to call in the aid of the military to protect his (the Arch bishop's) house and property, at Bishopsthorpe, from the assaults of a mob that had assembled evidently for the purpose of destructson. Through the exertions, however, used, little mischief had been done. But yester day morning military were stationed in his house and stables. The Duke of RUTLAND had hastened to the decla rations which had been made last night by a Noble Duke Wellington), and by a Noble and Learned Baron, who im mediately succeeded his Grace, with feelings of deep gratitude that the Gracious Prince who sat upon the Throne had acted with so much firmness in resisting the unconstitutional advice which had been tendered to him. He also felt the greatest admiration of the conduct of the Noble Duke for the course which despite the unmeasured bloquy of an ungrateful country, he had pursued. The Earl of HARWOOD was anxious to ask a ques tion of the Noble Earl opposite, whether the negotiations which were being conducted yesterday, had been brought to a termination, and whether Ministers were to continue in office. Earl GREY—It has been always my desire, my Lords, as far as pos•it,le, to every proper question, to furnish the infurmatiun.that is required, and more especially when those questions are put in that courteous manner by which the question of the Noble Earl has been charac terised. My Lords, I certainly, if that question had not been put, should have been prepared to state to your Lordships this day the result, I will not say of " negotiations," I am not aware that that word was fitly used, but of the communication which since his Grace, the Duke of Wel- line ton, gave up the commission with which he was intrusted, to form a new Administration, has passvd beg tween his Majesty and me. My Lords, I have now the satisfaction of informing you that that communication has been qrought to this result, that in consequence of his Majesty's desire of having the Reform Bill carried, and in consequence ot my seeing now those grounds of confident expect ,tion—(loud and continued cheers)—who enable me to consider that pledge that I gave yesterday to the House of not continuing in the Administration unless I had, what appeared to me, a sufficient se curity for passing the Reform Bill now on your table, unimpaired in its principle and essential provisions ;—in consequence, I say, of finding myself now enabled to state that such is my confident expectation— (Cheers)—and having received his Majesty's commands graciously expressed to that effect, his Majesty's present Ministers continue in their present office. My Lords, I shall not advert to any thing on this oc casion unpleasant that has passed. I have felt in common with the Right Rev. Prelate, who has expressed himself on this occasion, d, ep regret at much that has been said ; but I think I may with considerable confidence throw myself on your Lordships to say whether I personally have done any thing to provoke it—(Cries of Hear, hear)—nay, whether when exposed to a series of personal attacks, and such, as I believe, have not been usual in this House, I have done any thing not characterised by proper feeling if that was necessary to indicate my own character, and the situation I held. To these occurrences, then, regret ting deeply as I do, I shall not recur. I trust that the pro ceedings of this measure will he conducted with calmness. I fee' the necessity that it should be conducted with calm ness, to avoid furnishing any materials for an increa,e of that irritation which unfortunately hrs attended its progress.—(Hear.) I feel also the urgent necessity of speedily passing this measure, in order that the country may he restored to that quiet and content which are necessary for its pence and prosperity.—(Loud cheers.) To these objects my efforts shall be directed with the same spirit and feeling which have characterised my conduct. And I trust we may look forward to a speedy period when this question shall be settled, when all these agitations shall have subsided, when there shall be increased contentment, and with that, all those means of prosperity which this coun try has shall be enjoyed, and for which there wants only poll sicat Reform, to bring to them full maturity.—(Cheers.) My Lords, having stated this, as I believe there is no mo tion before the House, I now give notice that on Monday next I shall move that this House resolve itself into a Committee on the Reform Biil.—(Great applause.) The Earl of HAREWOOD having heard the Noble Lord's reply, should now take this opportunity of stating what course that he should think it proper fur him to adopt in the Committee. He hat; not consulted with any Noble Lord. He was connected with no party, He stood there to think and act for him self, as he had ever done on all critical points.— As the House had been told yesterday that the continuance i❑ office of Ministers dependdd on the power they might ob tain for carrying the Reform Bill, of course that was tube un derstood as a power to be obtained from the creation of Peers, or from the individual pleasure of Noble Lords on the Opposition side of the House withdrawing their future opposition to it. Their Lordships had been informed that Ministers were now virtually in possession of that power ; and this was the situation in which the House now stood. If exercise of the King's prerogative was to take place, there would be an end to the independence of the House of Lords—an end to the independence it' not to the existence of the Crown, and undoubtedly an end to the liberty of the subject.—(Loud cheers o❑ the Opposition side.) The question for him (Earl of H.) therefore to consider was, whether he was now to add his mite, which was calculated to overturn for ever the independence and power of the House of Lords. He had opposed the second reading of the Bill, because he thought it too extensive. He had opposed it in the committee onthe same principle, but he would now withhold further opposi tion to the Bill for the express reason of preventing a greater calamity were the opposition persisted in. Though be took this line of conduct, it was to be understood that he took it by sheer compulsion ; and even in adopting this course, he thought that lie might bid farewell to the freedom of debate in the House of Lords, as he did not apprehend he would ever again be able to utter one indepedendent word there. Let those who had been instrumental in bringing this affliction on tie: country, be responsible for their acts to the nation then the nation came to its proper senses, and he really did nut think that the nation could be (PRICE 71).) restored to its proper senses while the Bill continued be 'ore the Ho:lse. Under such circumstances he did not intend to do any thins further to impede: the pre ;rem of the measure. The Earl of WINCHELSEI re could not give his assent to a Bill which would ove.,..rn the balance of the Constitution. He rose principally to call the attention of the Noble Earl to the different malignant face and treason tide articles, which had appeared in the leading journals during the last four days, and particularly those on the character of the Queen. The LORI) CHANCELLOR said that it would very ill become them, sitting as criminal judges, wbo might be caled upon to decide upon the supposed libels to which the Noble Earl deferred to decide upon their prosecution. The Earl of WINCHILSEA replied, that these cases were not likely to come before their Lordships. He did not want any one to tell him what was treason. (LEFT SPEAIING. THE LONDON GAZETTE THIS EVENING.

(Concluded from our Third Edition.) The:E al of WINCHELSEA said that he could not give his assent to a Bill which would overturn the balance between the three powers of the State. His conduct in that House had never been influenced by private party, or factious feelings, but he had to the hest of this judgment done that which would most promote the welfare of the country ; but if the independence of this House was to be de stroyed, it seemed of little consequence to him whether it was by overawing them with threats, or by such a creation of Peers as would make this House a packed Jury, as much a rotten borough as any of the decayed places the Noble Earl was about to destroy. When the delusion which now existed, and which had been encouraged by the most profligate Press which had ever disgraced a free; country was dispelled, as it soon would be, the country would see how grossly it bad been imposed upon by the pro moters of this measure. He would now, however, since the Noble Earl was at the head of the Govern ment, address him in his private character as an English citizen—a character which be (Lord Wiochelsea) hoped still to be proud to hear. The Noble Earl, now that be was a Minister of the Crown, was bound to stand forward to protect the Sovereign from the most malignant false, treacherous, and treasonable accusations which ever degraded a free country, and which had appeared in the leading Journals during the last three or four days. He had no doubt that the time of the Noble Earl had been too busily occupied during that p3riod for him to read the daily papers, either on one side or the other ; but I call upon him to cast his eyes over those malignant, false, and unprincipled attacks which have been levelled against our gracious Queen, who fur her many virtues was justly en titled to the respect of every friend of virtue. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that considering the feelings under which the Noble Earl addressed the House, it was, perhaps, natural that he should forget this peculiar functions of their Lordships in respect to the subject matter referred to. He, as well as a Noble Lord who spoke last night, had called upan the Government to institute prosecutions for certain libels, or supposed libels, which had appeared in the Daily Press. He cautiously used the word " suppose," for if that advice were complied with, they might have to sit as criminal judges upon the very question of whether these publications were libels or not? He considered it so grossly contrary to their Lordships functions as Judges, previously to moot the question of whether such supposed oft-ncesshuuld be prosecuted or not. Lord WHARNCLIFFE asked was" there no use in the House of Lords being a deliberative assembly ? And why therefore was their voles to be overpowered by a large creation of Peers. The blow was struck—the power of the State was placed in the House of Commons—the Lords were no longer free —arid it remained to be seen whether the Monarchy would not materially be affected. The occasion on which the advice was given to the King, which was refused, was one of mere pretence. He denied that the question on which Ministers were defeated touched any of the principles iit the Bill. The agitation in the country was produced by the Noble Earl himself. He must know the real position in which that House was placed before he took the line he nail been called on to take. The Earl of CARNARVON wished to know what would be the situation of the House on Monday next, after the repeated menaces which had been held out, he hid a right to vote thus. could they in Commmittee without materially affecting the principle, after the details of the Bill ? Was it the Noble Earl's in. tentien to allow the House to go thro' Committee temperately and fairly ? Would he propose to his Majesty to interp , se such a creation of Press as would deprive the House of the power to come to any practicable decision ? E.rl GREY said that tire calmness and temporateness of toe Committee depended much more upon the conduct of the Opposition than on hie (E irl Grey's). As to the HOUSE OF COMMONS. Sir ROBERT PEEL'S speech concluded from our Third Edition.—Though the English Bill was out of that House, and into the other House of Parliament, the Scotch and Irish Bills still remained for consideration in r hat House, and it must have fallen to hint, as part of his duty, to have taken them under his charge. Hi; objection to the Irish Bill was so strong that he never could have Hone so ; the reason would have entirely precluded that : it was perfectlylimpossible for him to accept office, in order to carry that Bill. He had refused vffice at the expense of a temporary a .partition from that min in the country, who, though he had taken a different course on this question, he most admired—he meant the Duke of Wellington. It had been announced that he bad been influenced by a lurking suspicion that any Government which could now be formed would be unable to stand, at d that upon the ruins of it he might step in and seize the reins of Government. He considered that this required no denial at his hand ; but if there was one man in tha t House who wished for explanation, be could soon satisfy him that there was no earthly foundation for such a charge. The declaration of the Duke (of Wellington) in the House of Lords, lilbesigl r t, that there had been a temporary cessation of politica friendship between them, was enough to convince i the House that there could be no smilicus wish of his, but what could have been gratified.—(Hear.) Lord ALTHORP, for one, had never imputed improper or unworthy motives to the Hon. Baronet, and lie be lieved that no one in that House gave credence to the ress ports to which the Hon. Baronet had alluded. Mr. BARING rose to speak, but the noise occasioned by Members leaving the House was so great that his first sen tences were lost. He felt satisfaction in hiring the explana tion given by the Noble Lord opo,:;tr, not only faa• the sake of the country, but also for the share which he hid had in the transactions of the few Ls; days. In the few words he was about to offer, he would cautiously at. stain from making one allusion which would provoke m e word of further observation upon that explan.tion ; but lie felt that if he sat still aster the explanati,ta offerei by his Hun. Friend (Sir R. Peel), he would be lihble to have some of the attacks which were now so ;As:wholly thrown about, stuck upon him. He could answer for the •ruth of the statement made by his Hon. Friend is to the mo tives which had actuated him in the transactions of the !sat few days, he having expressed them ;n artist the same words to him when he applied to him to take ffi..e. Supposing the King was to admit it was his (fury to take such measures as would insure the passinz of th. Bill. was that a reason why a Minister should avail himself of the occasion to force other circurestaocvs uo Majesty, to which, as a Monarch of this country, he could never submit ? His Majesty would say, because I con sider that this Bill should be passed, shall I ti ere:ore submit to a circumstance which I conscientiously cannot think ought to have been allowed ?_(Cheers.) Such had been the case, and it was in such a case the Duke of Wellington was called on by his Majesty. Could that Noble Duke, then, seeing his Kitig in such circurnstinces, say to kiln, No, I have talcen such steps upon this measure, which you say must rass—l stand in such a position upon this question, having protest. d against it, that I can render you no assistance. He (Mr. B) MAR convinced that no man in the country would Mieve that he, in the manner in which he had acted, had taken a straight forward view of the subject under the circum stances. When the Duke applied to him (Mrß. ) the first word that he said to him were, that be telt ail the d fficul:ies the case, but he would be ashamed to crawl about tl.e metropolis, if he had not gone immediately to the King and rendered him all the assistance that ayes in his power. Sir R. VIVYAN said the situation in which the Duke of Wellington had been placed was one of great diffia Either the Bill was to pass, if the Duke of Wel lington got into office, or it was to pass under the present Ministers by swamping the House of Lords with a creation of Peers—(Hear)—aud the Duke of Wellington, when called upon by his Majesty to form an Administration, had been unable to do so, consequently he pursued the only course which an honourable man would do. The Hon. Baronet, at con siderable length, justified the conduct of the Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel, deprecated the Re form Bill, and asserted that the advice to create Peers to carry it was an act of treason. . . Mr. GORDON attributed the present ttverish +tate of the public mind to the Ministers, and characterized tl:e public meetings as meetings held for and at tl:e instance of persons whose object was rebellion, and wham he di scribed as incendiaries. He particularly adverted to the lan guage of the Honourable Member for Mu;diesel . , the recent meeting at St. John's Wood. He also spoke in strong terms of the language which some Menwers were in the habit of indulging in inside the Hoube, and which he said were addressed to those without. Mr. HUME, at considerable length, admitted using th• language imputed to him, and repeated it, iu order to give the Hon. Member an opportunity, if he wis::ed it, of having the words taken down. He contended that it. was strictly constitutional, and such as he would always use when he found the occasion required it. is to the public meetings and Political Unions, he justified them strictly legil and highly useful, aA he dared the Hon. Member to show any one attempt at riot or disorder. It wet true that there was a strong feeling in the country, but who had mated it ? It was excited by the attempt j t u o s e a r y tot o h the liberties pposedbyl of the egaland p cons eo ti p m‘ le—n ti. a ai acttrhich they means. (Later STEMICIN•. IMPERIAL PARLIAMLNT. ROUSE OF LORDS, MAr 17. (Concluded from our Paper of yrst.!r iay.) MINISTERIAL ARRANGEMENTS. Lord LYNDHURST said—ltly Lorde, I am anxious to explain ray part in these transactions. I feel that it is a duty I owe to my Sovereign—a duty I owe to the country —a duty I owe to your Lordships' House—and, if your Lordship. will permit me to say so, a duty which I owe to myself.—(Hear, hear, hear.) Ott the day when hi, Ma jesty accepted the resignations of his late Knisttra, he was graciously pleased to desire me to attend him at St. Jamesle. The Earl of SUFFOLK here interrupted the Noble Lord, and although vehemently called on by a great num ber of Noble Lords to resume Isis seat, persisted in his attempt to address the House. He said he rose to speAk to order. He had suffered the Noble L.,rd to proceed until he tamed an Hon. Member of the other House. He might have been content with designating him u the Hon. Member for Westminster, but it was most disorderly to name him. It was decided that Lord Lyndhurst was perfectly is order. Lord LYNDHURST resumed—The Noble Lord who stated I was out of order, and who ' , Rs r.) inter rupt me, has only proved that he kartw nor'ing of the orders of this House. Idu n:t say that filr Bur dett has made use of such expreesienr. I do nor believe he can have made use of such expressions.

More than this, he ought to know, if he knows anything of the Constitution, that I have taken an oath to this effect—(Cheers); and more, he ought to know, that, as a Judee, I art bound to volunteer sty advice to his Majesty, it I consider my courts of pro ceeding inimical to the safety of the Crown—(Cheers): so that if the Hon. Baronet made the assertion which is attributed to him, he has shown himself perfect y ignorant of the Constitution.—(Cheers). My Lord.., excuse me if I go one step tartt er—( Hear, hear, hear!) He has charged me, as a Judge, with being the leader of a violeot and virulent party in your Lordships' House.--(Corers.)
