IMPERIAL PJRI,I,I.4IIENI: ' HOUSE OF PEERS, THURSDAY, tANUA;ItY 22, tBot.. < Tins day a Meeting took place' pursnant to the at Prorogation, whzn a considerable number of Peers attended. The Lotto CH ANC LLOE, in the mode usual on similar occasions, communicated to their Lord ships Hts MAJESIY'S Royal Will and Pleasure, that, as it was not convenient to His MAJESTY to attend personally that day, the first proceed ings of the Imp4rial Parliament should take place by, virtue of His MAJESTY 's Royal Commission prepared for that purpose. Accordingly, the Lords Commissione4,3 then present, namely, tile' ARCHB IMO? . of CANTER.' BITRY, the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Duke of PO RTI. AND, and the Marquis ofSALisatuty, re tired to Robe ; and on their ro:urti, having taken their Seats on the Bench in, front of the Throne, Sir FRAIsTC IS MOLYNEUX, Bart. Gen tlernan Usher of the Black Rod, was deputed to order the attendance, of the Commons ; a number of whom forthwith appeared at the Bar, preceded by the Clerks and Officersbf the House ; Mr. ADDINGTON, the late Speaker, attending as a private Member. The Loan CHANC L Lott. then addressed the House in the accustomed manner, and declared the Royal Will:and Pleasure, that they should forthwith proceed to the Election of a Speaker, whom they wery . desired to present to-morrow for His Majesty's Royal Approbation." The Coixnnons having retired, the Clerks pro. ceeded, to administer the usual Oaths to several ;of the Peers present. ... The Deputy Clerk of the Crown in Ireland ap peared at the Bar, and presented an official list of the 'Peers returned 'n) represent the Irish Peer age in the Imperial Parliament. The-Clerks .of the House continued to admi.. nister the 04the to .the Peers present, and . , among them, to several of the Irish Representative Peers who attended. Their Lordships then adjourned till half past twelve o'clock to-morrow. HOUSE OF COMMONS. TiIURSDAY, JAN. 22. At a quarter past two o'clock the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod, informed the House, that the Lords, authorized by virtue of Ills MAi Es. Tv's Commission, required the attendance of that House in the House of Peers to hear the Com mission read. • • Upon which, the Members present went up to the House of Peers, and returned in a few mites, and after a pause of about half a aninUte, Mr. P4LHAM rose,' and spoke nearly as fol . . lows it is the undoubted. Privilege of this House to elect its SPEAKER; upon which oeca, sinn it has been customary to state the cualific4-. tions which are necessary for the Person on whoM the choice falls. it is . essential for the Interests of the Public * as well as conducive to the conve 'nience of the House, .that such qualifications should be possessed' by the Person Who fills its Chair—these are, an unifiirm attachment to the Principles of the Conititution of this Country ; abilities to explain the' Rules and Orders of our Proceedings ;—diligenceand assiduity in attend ing to the Business of the House ;-- . -;experience in the praftiee and knowledge of the Record's of Parliament ; together with a firmness of .Mind and steadiness of.Condua, to support the 'Rights and ,Privileges of This . HOU6e iri all cases and un. der all circumstances ;---11 temper to recommenit' •andpreserve moderation of. Debate ;---a spirit to support the Dignity.of the'Housei and an even ness of disposition that shall'shew impartiality a:. ,all times, and upon all occitsions.—All these have been generally, considered as requisites for the Persoi) who is called into the Chair-of this•Housc, at all times, and surely in the Present time , they are as requisite as ever ; when an event has taken place, which indeed has given birth to our preient discussion, and which will, in'its'conse- . [l.lences, as I firmly, believe, tend to estahliA anti confirm the constittitiOn of this Country, as well as add weight to . our Political Power and National Importance—it will, I- hOpe and be lieve, increase our happiness and renew Our fi . iendships—it will, however, ,also increase the duties and , the, labours of this House, and particu_ larly those of the. Person who shall sit in the Chair —I do not wish to' raise any difficulty the mind of any Person in this House, as• to the fitness of one of its Member; :for, the performance of that duty—they are, in my mind„.no difficulties at all, when comp :red to the talents, of the Person who Lpropose to you to choose for that station. I therefore take the liberty of proposing, that tile Right Honourable HiNRY .ADDINT GON, who has, so much to his own honou r , and, to the ad.. vantage of the Public, filled the Chair of the Bri. tish House of Commons, be now called to fill the Chair of the House of Commons of the imperial Parliament—l will not dwell on the superiority of his talents or on the excellent qualities which so eminently :listingiiish him, as the most fit for the °Mee ; they are too well known to require recital from nie, and they might suffer some jury by my attempting to describe them—l ill only say, it is fortunate for this House, and this Country, that, a Person of such distin g:,ished abilities is one of our number, and who, had he , chosen any other course of life, might have meared to himself equal advantages, pos. sibly , with less labour and.ffiligue, but in none could he, or any other person, have been of more. real service to this Country, awl'• that !tight Honourable Gentlettein has been, by dedi cating his distinguished talents to the Btelness of this . flouse.—l consider . these points as of g tea: irukatance, and.l am confident •I shall, 11;17e hot f.hlty, the cobcurrenee of all those who, haV'e in the , British Parliament„. but the cOnetn•rell:::e also of every , other ,Member of this House now, .44 , at I.4clelaa Wil6VI. vu I.IIC raIIGMC 01 IDOSe whom I. have the honour of addressing, but pro pose «. That the Right Honourabl e H ENRY AD DIN log do take the Chair of this .House." YO RKE.--" I rise with great satisfailion to second the Motion. lam persuaded it is un necessary for me to add many words to what has ' been already said. I am perfectly convinced it would be a waste of time, for me to endeavour to persuade the House-Of that which' it feels al ready, namely, the fitness of my Right Hon. Friend for the Office now proposed for hbri, and of which we have bad ample experience; nor will I say every thing I feel to be true on the qualifications of my Right Hon. Friend, because I am assured, that however just, it would not be agreeable to himself to hear,the detail of them. For my ownpart; I will say, that,much as I feel for the honour of a person with whom I am in-ha bits of intimate friendshiP, and which I relic& upon with pride ; and although I know that, which, is now proposed,, is-one of the higheit ho nours that can , be conferred 'on a .Subject of this' Country, yet do I feel. that thedutiei of the Office are equal to all -the considerations that can move any man of .integrity to enter on the dis charge,of them. But Heel also, 'that lam ailing for the Public, when I support the Motion which is now before us. The times in whiCh we live are critical. The whole system of policy in Fu_ rope is shaking by the terror of some, and the treachery of others ; and all, fomented by thc restless ambition of our common'Enemy, diced ing their attacks -against the Honour and Inde pendence' of this Nation. In this condition of affairs, it is absolutely necessary that all the ta lents and abilities in:the Nation should come for ward and arrange themselves for its defence, its honour and. its happiness ; these . talenti and abili ties should shew themselves in the Senate and in the Field, where every exertion should be rm-de that can serve. us,. add where every energy of which the human mind and' body are capable, .should be brought into action. In this state of things, I would ask, in what situation can ex-, perienee and wisdom be more requisite than in the Chair,of this House Necessary they were at all times for that Office, but more necessary at the present conjunilute, thati at any other pe.. riod ; for now, not only the British, but the United British and Irish Parliament are assem bled, in consequence of which alone, many very important arrangements will be, necessary to be made; as-well as the general business of the- Na: tion having become more laborious andfatiguing. The . talents of my Right Hon. Friend point him out as the fittest person for th 4 situation,;, for it is 'absolutely necessary there should - be - placed in , that Chair a' person of intimate and' profound: knowledge of the Rules, Orders, and Proceedings of the Hotise—of a.steady temper, and Urbanity 'of disposition—of a reilitude. and honour of pri r vate . charatter. When I pronounce the name-of the Right Hon. HENRY ADl:ornotos, all these qualities occur to the minds 'of those who he4r me ; we know' he is in possession of them all, and that points him out better than any language Of . mine can -do, 4s a' fit- person -to 'fill the Chalr of this' House, and thereford o without another,word, I will second 'this Motion." After a pause- of.a few seconds, Mr.. ADDINGTON, rose; and spoke nearly as .follows The House must, I am sure, be' aware, that such a Motion, so supported, and, if I may be permitted. to say . so, so received,. Must have made the strongest impression on the mind of the person to whom it was particularly applied. .I trust,, that all that has past on this day, as well as , much of what has past, on former occasions, has excited in my mind those emotions and feelings which duly correspond v N ith these favours, but which, I can assure the House, mu unable to express. For the convenience of our Proceedings, and for purposes intimately conneetcd with the Funt!tions and Privileges of this House; in ob'edience to HIS MA) ESTY's Command, and in , conformity to the established course and u of Parliament, this House is now on one of its Metnbers, a great most consider: co imps=" rack,, and to repose . a trust the rrsi P d c eCa ' :: r te chat can be confsrred by the Representative. , of the P,eople cis, an individual Member of their ov.'n II dv, independent of the other branch of the Legistature. On the nature_of the Office it is unnecessary fbr me xo dwell ; these points are well known, and.cannot be better dis posed of, than by being entrusted to the wisdom of those,. who, for the first time, •happily think for the British Empire, 'constitute a part of the.Colledive Voice of its Legislatu?e: The qualifications required in the 'Person who is to fill the ,Office now proposed to be filled, can truly say, are so great, that the :enumeration of them constitutes a strong obje6liori to the Motion. With respect to the experience, which the Right Hon. Gentleman who made the Motion, and the Hon. Gentleman who seconded it, have supposed •me to possess, Iran only say, it has not so much increased my facility of discharging the duties of the Chair, as it has the sense I always entertained of their 'importance. I feel very . strongly .with the Hon. G,:.ntleman who conveyed to us, short ly, his • ideas on the present situation of this Country, ',and the necessity theie is of every man employing all the energy he possesses, of mind and body, its support. lam ready to do so ; I feel it a duty 'incumbent'on me to sacrifice ease, and in. some (levee, health itself, . for this consi deration ; but when 1 compare the duties of the Office now 'proposed to 'filled, .with,the suffi ciency of the Person now proposed .to discharge them, I and myself dri v e n to the contemplation of a subject} that is mortifying to myself—but af. ter considering the manner in., which the House has been pleased to receive the Motion, I am he. cane unable to express my feelings—l, mast pass that s.cibjea hy—l should be extremely concern cd if . any doubt could he entertained of my cyst proving myself as much attached at any irdividuai in this .House,, or in this Country, to the Prim ciples. of ' the Free",,Constitution under which we live., Indeed. I re pea highly those Rules nd Orders of I .ung which have regu. hlcn. w :his d 4, result ot accumulated experience, an,_ I trust, : therefore, will be renewed in ti,. House. I feel also, in common with the House, a veneration for its . Libeaties, and the principles from whence they emanate ; for they ate most essential. I trust it is manifest to those who have considered - that subjeti, that I haVe always endeavoured, with an unbiassed and an unprejudiced mind, to fill the station in which, the House has thougLt fit to ' , Lice Mc, and that I have pursued the path, the plan) path which the duties of the Office ha e v,... , prescribed, the ,which it would not only have been unbecoming, but repre• hensible in me, if I had Omitted. It would be so itt any Member of the House r but ranch more so in a L person who would fill the Chair, either .with 7 credit to.himsell, or advantige to this House. If any successes, or' whatever saccesses; have at tended my labours, I know . the. House tot) well , and, I hoppi myself too well, not to be aware of the cause of such success—,-It is to be attributed much to the good temper and candour of the House itself--much to the assistance I have derived Igo the abilities and unremitting diligence of the Go• tleman at the Table CAdr..l.4 top). It has, how' ever, been.prineit i saiiy owing to the House itself, which has always she wn a great zeal for the preser vation of its own Orders.—l can truly say, that during a period of 1 z years, under all the fluCtuatiel! of circumstances which haVe intervened since I had first the honour of being called to that Chair) I have experienced, in private, from the Members , of this House, nothing but attention and kiud• ness, and, by the House itself, nothing but in. ' dulgence.; the which, I hope I have not negleatd/ t ' or shall ever forger. lam also fully aware that the Office subjects me to the greatest responsibi I lily ; and whoever on the preseni or any future OC' casion, shall be chosen to till that Office, I hope be will either experience the same support that I have had, or stand less in need of it.—,r win ~. trespass no longer on t h e i n d u l genc e o f t he House; r if it is its opinion that I should be chosen to MI '.; the Office, any Command of their's, - I shall feel it ' my duty to obey, and I have only to desire leave to express an earnest wish, which is, that the consequences of such a choice may not be, in anY negree, injurious either to the House or the Pub' lic." Mr. W I LBE RFORC E said, he should think he acted "with great. impropriety, if by any unve cessary observations of his, he prevented the House from immediately deciding the (Peel° before them, and he, certainly should not ne' r have risen, if he had not felt. that in . entimerati4 the qualification* which the Right lion. Gcetle' ;. man possessed tOr the office of. SriAxsa, both the Mover a . nd Seconder of 'this Motion ii 3 ~!. ,omitted one very important' -and essential fOir. l . l ' He fell himself bound, on the . parr of his Gotha . ruents, to 'discharge what. he . conceived to be a elebt,of Gratitude to the Right Bon.. Gentleingt .. for his services, and upon no other ground Ayala he hive intruded upon th e attention of the Hous e. The .Gentlemen _who ei.;de and seconded thc Motioni - had dispey!.:4 grcaceloquencc in coal , meriting upon the quaiificattons neceisary f or . so irz.pottAnt an Office, but in doing so they sect" ed to be recurring to past experience, a n d d'i sciibing that which the House had for #orne years witnessed. But there was one point which they had omitted. Where there was much labour , there was always much that was not Manifest, , though not less useful than that which f e ll m ore under general observation. With reaped to the public conduit of ,the Right Hon. Gentleman, in the arduous situation of . P BAKER, every Gen' tleman must have observed it, and there cowl not be' two opinions upon the subjed.—But he wished Gentlemen to look to the privte Ads of Parliament, in which' the Ri g h ts ,o f J o di v id e a'i and of Corporate Bodies were so deeply intereit" ed. He wished they would consider the immen' e fatigue and labour - that Right Hon. GentiC' r man must have sustained i n twe l ve years I unremitted atte nt i on to t h at less, public, b ut, perhaps, not. less important part of his dull' This was a subject which Gentlemen must taro into their consicletation, before they'could MI, estimate the services o f Mr. ADD!' NGViN. iw believed that no man .who Was not ilerfeetly e# quainted with the subjeCt upon which he `` li -peaking, could form . an idea: of the laboer ac' tending upon private Bills_ in their passag e through the House. With respect to Otheroin r4 he was, perh a p s , less -competent to speak, be: - cause he could not discriminate between his F' 1 1 ; vate feelings an d his- public . duty ; but, thotight, they .co u ld 1 not consult the interest 1) . their Constituents, or the dignity of ihe.l4°u,sc ' better, than by pl ac i ng the Right Hon. Gen t ' c '' man in the Chair. - ' ''' '. The cry of " Cha;_e', Chait," resounded. from ' l l ea ' sides,bf tile House, eei Mr. ADD ING TO, n , ' -," ~, " - a 5 l to the Chair by Mr. PE minisi and,Mr. Yoa o '. The SPEAKER -then said,—" I have to ,i ' ' `: treat . the House to accept 'my most grata a C :, knowledgement s f or t h e great lidnour they hr r ; conferred upon m e ; ' , and, if I 'm a y he allowed t° say so, for the manner in which it has been den'' . lean really :more thein, that it hi 4 made a deci' and laSting impression upon my mind."
