However, theoreced nt o 1 1788 was the only precedent now to be followed. With respect then to the question of light, it put hint in of what once had been said by a great man, that no country shonld have a Cotistitutiott which cold not shew it in writing,* , a# skew how it was to be de fined.' In compartrig this observation with : • show of Constitutions `'vs riting" which this country had seen of late years on the Continent, most makeit gratifying that Lu s land could-not en ter into the comparison. But as to the opinions: now urged, they ,diverged trom each other to this -extent, that it wits not 'i.simpLftt-itit tlie,lwolls.Muses of Parliament to give to the Rogent'anyyter#ve, while others maintained that Parliament were Jus lifted in SO doing. The:M . l.,w Person to whom allusions itact been made, did greatly qoestion, in bringing 'forward the. measure, the competency of Parlorniedt on' the su)jed, and he doubted the le gaiity of veStiug in the Regent the whole of the Royal Autholity. That oimittion was ulna' canvass ed in 1788, nod the question u'vckrivent 'Very deli . - berate discussion in debate. - AivaS el mere fore 'tait a Intlesurprised to hear, it. asserted. hat the Illostrioui Person alluded to- mistook the trite principles ot.tlte Constitution of his country. in arguing the gee.** tion now, it has been said that time incompetency of 1 , the House lay in giving thu,power',. when in lad it I Was asserted on the other side, that it lay in with , holding that power. With both of those great au, thoriiies he must differ. He could not awed with those who were far conferring on the Regent all the Royal prerogatives, nor With those who were of opinion they shouLl be withheld. With time knoiv, ledge of the Constitution which he possessed, he coUld not discover any praetice of that ConstitutiOn which rendered it indispensably necessary that the powers of the Regent should be coeval with the So. yereign authority. On the cont rar y, he had .vyer unddrstood that the powersef the Regent Must in .all cases be inferior to those of the Sovereign. The „Tissuse. were booed to ad, in case of exigency; cer tainly according to the best‘of their diseietion. The question of competency and incoMpetency,' for the reasons he had stated, very naturally abridged the powers of the House on the question of right.— What was the presit proposition ? It allowzd that the perSon.possessing the pielogatives was: emmiitlrtl to retain them ; - conSequently the House' had do right to deliberate upon it. The House" could not go into time quevitiuti of expediency, and he must c nntentl, that they were not justified in sepi,rat- ing the prerogatives) any attempt of that kind would operate 'to their mutilation:--- - The Right Honourable and Learned Gentleman' maintiin. ed, that the Law and Constittuion pointed out what a King should be in respell to povvrrOqood that the-House could not go. It did riot behr.g to them to say what the Kingly fonaions -are. So it was ittthe period of the ite . 'volutioh, witerl men t declared that the Prince and Princess of Orange abouid be King and Queen ; the Rir'lament then did not -attempt to define what the rights of he Mt►narch should be—the Jaw had setile - & that point. - Heinle Gentlemen could contend that it was necesvry to vest powers in.t he ilepmt, they _should chew that the. office was ascertoined, fixed, nr de- fined. Unless they could, there , was 211 end of the argument. The office of . Regent never had exist encein this country ; it was borrowed font France and from Scotland. In England the abence of the Executive Authority was supplied by Protedors. In the infancy or one of the Monarchs (Richard II.) the Regency was composed of a Council,- the Protector being the ? head of the CoCtucil. It illtlsl be clear, therefore, that the defin.tion of the ()trice of Protet;tor, was better ascertained than that of He- gent. Indeed, so littie was it kilown, that in the lid] of Henry the Sixth, Hitatphroi, Duke. of Giou. -osier, scot to the Haase to • know kt brit 11.10 lions were The House otli,ords in athwer, replied, that " t i!ey knew of nude," and yet he was appointed .by Act of Parliament.

There was in his olenionereore difficulty ,and, objectiou in withhohlieg, the poWer than in eraming it. The Parliamear of t7e'e proceeded on' teis ground, that all the tonetions were not Aso eecessat v, yet if the excuse was granted, whew his Alajesty returned to health, he might be impeded, not in the resumption of his authority, but in the carrying it on. The danger to be apprehended was in Coat loved. Why was it judged expedient to repose greater confidence in the Prince of. Wale's than in any other ? He did netimean to make. this observation in au invidious was', for no man who knew his Royal Highness would suspect that the co fidenee reposed would be abused. Bet it was a fair etomad of objection for granting unlimited powers to a Regent, because it was inipoSsible that Abe nation voted have that security iitem a Regent as . they would have from a King,. the Regent being only a temporary possesSor, and the Monarch .holding the office:tor life. A King never could designedly make any provision et the end of .his Governtrient for•en •feebling it. What was the ease IA it h a Regent, led him stand in ever' so near , a relation to thie Crown, . but standing in a lnear relation, and being* : . -identified with the interests' of the Crown? He should theretore be inclined to impose fewer re-strie hens. These arguments would apply generally, end em witle.referenee to any Prince of Wales. it was an unetir suggestion to say ihat.these Who stipport ed and proposed the rest riHioie were disposed to study and give insults to the Prince of Wales. , Was he-to be supposed less attached to that Royal Person, who he was ready to admit was emmently, qualified' ' for the Regency, becanse he stated his opinion that it woulA be inexpedient -teVest too 'Much Of the Royal ,Authotity ? So.high was the . opihion which he_entertained of that.

To that he would answer, that' at the ex- pnation of that period, the danger. to be apprehend , : ed would be gone by, and then it might beeneces sery.. SuPposing . that the illness of Jus Majesty should eoteinue; that the restriciions.should be djs, continued. it might so happen that the 'recovery, from the long dtitation of .the malady, eriiglif Le doubt fel.. :Besides, it would be the interest oh' the Regent to act as if he were the% Sofereign—he would inlact have no interest distinct from that of the Sovereign, and conseqeently no danger citild be opprenentied upon the whole. The Right HMI. and :Learned Gentleman contended he was jtiStified in sopporting the precedent ut i 788, for the reaseni stated, and should give his vote furthe Resolutions .as they POW stood.' Mr. Seteellleti' declared, that if 'legal sulitility was that whieh was:requited in the discassion of his question, he would not think of following the Right Hen.

After some observations upon the other precedents, he went at large into an' xatni• nation of the precedent of 1788, and con.ef , ded that the eirctunsiancei of both ca•eg were so ditre. rent, that without any iitThelation he might say, that tl.e great leader who proposed atm .tnetistare h as now .ahve, he covild vrve !vith . perfed coi,sisiencr - against ..the principle of festrictidn.

He ridiculed t' c. argu ment, Ina: thOimitation,- with respecit to Peers,_ was cahulated "between the Re gent , and hisAdministrat%" which 'he considered as an expedient to put the Regent on " a bed of 't95e6." The former Ministers, no doubr, consider ed themselves entitled to the confidence of. t e country ; the- present Gentlituen,' wo far .from en tertainwg ,that confidence, despaired of it, and: very proi , crly and modestly t,e.clinod even the en:iiavo u r to-obtain it.

After a description of the: present situation of the country, atikof the policy and cha• ratSler of Buonaparte,. he corqiuded a ino,t eloquent. ! speech, of which we regret that;our limits will not perniitus to give even au.outline, by exhotting the "HouSe to gOforth to the contest with the Constioi• tiOn, and not with a half sword an.l broken shield to oppose the oPpressur of martliiod,,—" We fight," said :the Hight Hon.
