~~ y . r+ w e?: I t 1 ,)4 13 . 1111.1 t ~' ~.. ii_, i ..1 , ' ..: .... N i t t f 'MERL :L HOUSE OF PEERS. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1. The LOAD CHANCELLOR did not take his seat on the Woolsack until neatly hall-past four o'clock, and immediately after prayers were read, THE REGENCY PILL Was brought up 110113 the Commons by Mr. LONG, and other Memberi, with a Message, stating that-the Commons had agreed to the Amendments . made to the Bill by their Lordships. The Bill was then laid upon the table. After some time had elapsed, and the attendance become pretty numerous, The Earl of LIVERPOOL rose, and observed that thete was no feces:dent in the proceedings of the termer occasion which applied to the fen - mining proceeding, which the two Houses had to ins itute, respeCting the business to which the • Bill then on the table referred. Linder those circumstances ,it was deemed the preferable way to lay on the table at the House a Commission that had been prepared inasignifyng the assent to the Regency Bill, mid to width it was proposed ~übsequentiv to affix the Great Seal. By this ereeeeding, Noble Lords would have an opportunity of seeing the na ture and import . of the Commisbion or instrument, previously to their considering of a Resoldtion, on the part of that ,Hoese, fur authorising the Lord Chancellor to effix the Great Seal thereto.— What he proposed was, that the House should meet again to-morrow, when, in case no pro traded discussion or stone; objection should bp made. with respect to the Commission, he sheuld move Attic Lordships . to adopt a Resolution such as he had alluded to, tas it was held the Resolution voted by both House not long since, agreeably to the precedent on the former ()cert. sioo, went only to autherise the tot mal opening of Parliament. A short Conversation.' here ensued, in which the Earl of Derby and the Noble Secretary of State were the principal speakers. The Earl of ROMAN said a few words in a low tone of voice acruss the table, the purport of which eta could nor distinaly ( - 016.0. The Earl of Dena said, her did not now mean to • toke.up their Lordships'. time e ith any detajled oh stavations; but he was at opinion, much as he de precated an further delays, in additiun to those which already tekee.place, that the proceedings pro posed by the NuUte Secretary of State, nitrites! the most serious attention of the kieuse. , -In saying this, lie wished to have it understood, that his semi uterus. respecting the whole 'omen) an d orea ,ure s pursued by Ministers on this occasion were by nu means changed. He retained all his hostility to these measures, as well as those• which obtained in 1788 and. 1789, which een3titoted,their much. vauvred precedents, , as he had more than mite ex pressed. With respect to the present case, he did not think simply laying the COMIIIiiiSiUn 'on the table, enough; very few of the Luids could peruse it, and such a step would bUt a little way to wards informing their Luniships. He thought the printing it would nut cause any delay, and thet pro• ceedii.g would hbvidte his objettioh, he also thought the Noble Secretary of State was not both.' tient)) , explicit, when he said if no discus ion should arise to-morrow, he would propose the con sideration of the Reaolutioti to-morrow ; but in cast,. it did, he should defer that step till Mundy. That would be an additional serious delay, a principle which pi evaded in this, as Vieli as in all their tor riser proceedings; they might have been touch far ttier advanced in the proceeding,, they might have been brought forward 0100. The Noble E t at also expressed his opinion that the liuuse should be sulumoned on the occasion. The. Earl of LIVRRPOOL in reply to what had fallen from the last speaker, obsetvee, that the charge of delay or procrastination in this case by no means applied, as it was impossible they could know previously whether or not the House of 'COminons would concur in the Amendments made by their Lordships to the Bill ; that concurrence was not re golaily made knowu to them until this evening.-- With iesped to toe printing of the Commistiou, as suggested by the Noble Earl, he observed, that document of the kind Was ever printed, and the purpows alluded to would be us .veil answered by the Commission lying on the table fur the inspecAipu of Vuble Lords. As to what had beets said of Isis speaking more explicitly resin:Cling the line of proceeding be 'Maui to adopt to-tourroW• evening, it was evidently what he could not do, as he could not possibly be certain of the, nature line of the obieetioes, if any, that might be arged, and on which the length, .or nature of the discus ,Sion, which might take piece, would evidently de pend. Lord Eeterinoandon did tot seem to think any blame, ou tne snore of delay, impetable to the Noble Eart in the present instance) but the circum 7 cattier of delay being what he.highly deprecated en der the present circumstances, he must say, he did riot see why the proceeding mentioned by the. Noble beeraaty of State, unless that degas of protracted stud hostile di.cossare which wooed lead to a (JR •ion took place, Should not be- brought forward to-, UsOfrOW, instead of Monday. The ,'..Eark of Li . 10 1 001, spoke in explanati..o, as didithe Earl of Deka v , alter v. hich, the document i,x question was ordered to tie ou .theTable,' and the House adjourned till to-morrow.

Mr. WHITIWEAD begged leave to stale, as he saw the Itight Hon. Gentletnan (ihe Chancellor of the tixchequer) in 'his place, that had heard of one vi more waJrants being in existence, ttir the ibbtlp of money from the Ex(*quer, higlied by his Majesty, and parPortiOg to be uUted between the 25th and 00. It pr Odeher, ti to.. lie wished tO ktuw tVisulsor Cictle , ,Feb; 2, !SI I. "The KING is quite as well as for some days past.. , Signed rs usual. This morning we receive:l Cadiz Papers to the 6th ult. Their contents will be found in our sub 'sequftnt columns. Mr. WHITBREAD last night called the attention of the House of Commons to 'a circumstance which, he said, had come to his knowledge, viz. that two warrants, with the Sign Manual, and ,dated since the commencement of his MaJesTv's illness, had been Presented at the Exchequer. Mr. pERCEVAL gave the rno,t satisfaCtory explanation upon the sub jeEt ; he stated, that it was usual for warrants to be sent to Windsor for the Sign Manual, leaving blanks for the dale, and that the date was inserted when the warrants were sent to the Exchequer. Mr• Wurram RAD, however, gave notice that he should make a motion upon the subjea next week. 'There are two points M which• we conceive that the Opposition will be grieVous/y disappointed when the Prince of WALes is-vested with the awful re. sponsdaility attached to the chevalier of Regent, They fondly hope that his Royal Highness will im mediately dismiss, those prudent Counsellors who were chosen by his venerable Father, and that he; will give the full weight of his authority to the fur therance of whit has been etroneously styled Ca tholic EmancipstioiL But we have too high a con fidence in the good sense and filial affection of his Royal Highness, to suppose that either of these crews can possibly take place. The present Mini,try have by their wisdom and firmness sup, portt.d the full rights and privileges of the Kingly and maintained the genuine principles of the Constitution. The :Prince is arrived at that time of. lite when he his all the lights of ex. perience to assist his good Bernie, and be will relied that if he were precisely in the state of his Royal . Father, he would on his recovery be gratified in finding that the persons whom be had placed in the highest 'offices` of the State, had not abandon. ei their duty on despicable views of a temporiz. la; policy, but had shewn a sacred' regard for the Royal Fun Lions, the purity of the Consti tthion, and the welfare of the people. Such sentiments most occur to the Prime of WALBS, and such sentiments we .doubt not will vide - and ani mate his conduct. As to the Catholic' Question, the views and determinations of his MAJSSTY ar e well known, that It would be a gross outrage on the Prince of WALEs to suppose for (;moment that he could in that totipect give his :sanction to any men. sure which, upon so important a subject, would he in opposition to his Royal Father's rooted sense of duty to our happy Establisinnynt in 'Church and State. Eat the people at large have an ad ditional ground of confidence in his Royal fligh newt, derived from the answer which he gave to 'the' Address of both Housed, requesting him to assume the character 'of Regent, for he graciously intimated his regret that he " not have been allowed the opportunity of inanifes\ing" that his conduct would have been conformable to the re strictions which the wisdcfm of Parliiment had thought proper to devise. Hence then, if his Royal Highness would have'aclecl upon resKctions which the wisdom of i'atliainent *Med necessary, it must naturally be preseined tbat he will adhere in violably to the 'feelings and ileterininatiuns, of his august Father, in a Matter of Vital importanee to the State, and in which his MAJESTY was goreined by a conscientious regard to the 'obligations of hit Co ronation '04114 and• his most go!etnn conviction of what was essential for the safety and preserVition of that glorious system which our ance:ors bequeath ed, and which renders us at this inomeOlhappy and secure,' while all the other nations of Ettiope are vomiting In misery and bondage, In censequente of the Snow On the Derbyshire Hills the Mails 113Vi!lieen retarded many hours, and the letter carriers were not dispatched from the Post-Office until one o'clock this day; To-morrow another fleet is expected, to sail 'from Portsmouth, and one from Plymouth, carryin g our forthe'r , reintorcements for our army in P0rtug.1,.... In the fleet from Portsmouth will proceed 13tiron ALTsx's and Colonel lIALkSis light battalions of the German Legion, with reinforcements foe most of the regiments of ineutry. At Plymouth will embark the t t th Dragoons. • Dispatches have been received froti Mexico to the 20th of November. Gen. VENEGAS, who had been sent out to suppress the disturbances in that Colony, is , said to have completely stacreeded objet, after .yariont engagements with the inst,r gents. When tranquility wa4 restored, lie caused several•Preclam itions. to be published, ordering Ya. dons regulations for the pence of the Colony, and threatening those wit h,punishment who - should act 'against the existing laws. On Saturday release last, the day before th e re l e of the British prisoners, a most gallant Oral. was wit nessed in the roads of Dunkirk. A British brig of war, dashing in close to the pier. and under the French batteries, cut ottt flour thence a French transport laden with na:al stor,:s, bound from Bou logne to ,Flushing. The eoterprize uai exectutql with go rutich skill and wittily, that the prize was gone' before the batteries could he broudtt to bear upon the brig with effea. The same brig hailed the cartel on her pairsage,, toltuwire after their friends at Dunkirk, and "wrh it the folks of that tow n thought of the prank that had bt4o played - them the other day ?" 'On Wednesday the Dales of Yost It and CAM. BRIDGE, with a numerous party of .personages of distinaion, enjoyed the sport of shooting in' the neighbourhood of Outlands, where they were ex tremely kir i tunate in their Shots;--they killed no less than forty hares . and twenty cock pheasants.— After enjoying the sports of the field for several hours, they retired to the Mansion house of the Duke of Yoltic, where they were sumptuously en tertained. Letters rec-ived from an Officer of onr advanced. picluets before Santarem stare, that on the 7th or Bth ult. DROUrr joined MASSENA , with reinforce ments of frnn 19, to 14,000 men. These letters ire dated as late ds the 14th ult. Mutual exchanges of compliments pass.betWeen the advanced centinels, who are forbidden to lire at each other. It was strongly reported in the British camp that the French army before Cadiz had raised the siege, and were on their march to join MASSENA, and that tire Bri tish garrison at Cadiz were preparing to embark to join Lord WELLINGTON in Portugal. The Baltic Meeting, at LLOYD'S, yesterday, was adjourneq again, iii order to re-consider the different Resolutions of the CoMmittee.

He could not slotH the., faet upon his own knowledge, but had been told that it was so. In addition to this statement, he begged leave to ob. serve, that warrants of the description alluded to, were kned - inblanks for the date by his INlajesty, and then sent to the Treasury to be tilled up, Which was usually done ton the day upon which they were sent to the Exchequer. The warrants to which he alluded were both of them iSS 1 for small sums, the one to tlw Commissioners of the Treasttry, the other it small hum-to Mr. Chinnery, whiise ()Rice it was to issue money from the Treasury, but there were none for any large sums. He could also state upon. ibis subject, that there was a warrant 'in the month of October, tinder the Privy Seal, and he believed dated upon the 25th, the morning of that day upon which Sir Harry Haltord, one of the Physicians attending his Majesty, said that his Majesly was somewhat d in his mind. Mr. Witimacad said, that if he understood the "tight flea. Gentleman rightly, his statement was that the King's signature had been obtained to the warrants In question in-the ordinary coutse of pro ceeding, and that it was not unusual to obtain the signature of the King without filling up the date. He still was desirous of knowing at what time the warrants were given in to his Majesty, and whether thew were or not more blanks than that ter the date. In touseqeencc of what the Right Huu. Gentleman had sdatedsra to the other warrants from the Privy Seal, he Should feel it his duty to move. for all Warrants or Papets signed or purporting to be signed by his Majesty subsequent to the t ath of October, 18 to. 'the CHANCELLOR the EXCH cdusa hoped the Hon. Gentleman would give his notice upon some other day, in order that those concerned might oh lain such information as was necessary. _ _ MrAVuurnaann said, he had no cbje&ion to make his motion any clay that was moat convenient to the Right Hun.
