The Morse rejeeted the Petition, end lie thou ght very properly, on the ground that it hail no jurisdiction, and that the ordinary course of the IaWI was sufficient for the grievance. Zts fairness and justice, however, set the same argument he applied equally to power and is the powerless, les it be fully . ascertained( that 1110 ordi nary leaps 11411 threll 'mold insufficient, before they %vele ceiled upon to resort to stay extroorslinary measure. It seemed to him, th o u the people, in all that had tor souse time past occurred, had dis played a reveretree tool a rt'44lll for the tio lf „ d ,:ksitt Inc Censtitittionel remedies, atilt an oitititly that relief enoel.l 4e offorded them by Par lesolesis, thstsigh it would perhaps be tomtit, that lei r e o oesi s cosslti not, flO readily' as they imagined, 4:teirker suit Oleo teal re-s t eely, for the prrsetst erVictiott diticie*s.

Noble Lord who spoke list, he. observed, it was the anxious wish of his Majesty's Goverument,not ineltide any .thing in the. Speech from the Throne, or in the Address in answer to it, that ihOtild, in the least, pledge Par -iiisment toe's opinion, whether any, or-what far ther measures were-necessary. tie was certain the Noble Lord would be as ready al any One to agree, that if Ministers were in possession of such ittformation as that Tetetred to in the Me-sage, they would not discharge their duty did they not bring it before Perliatneot, and refer it, according to the established practice, to a Secret Commit, tee. The Noble Lord also much approved of the course pointed out by his Noble Friend, in deprecating • the expression Of any prennoure opinioes upon the subject ; and iu abstaining from any language that might spew like a pre judging of the question. Ile trusted, likewise, they would all go iitto the inquiry free from any hies upon their minds, and wait until the report of the Committee, should be rt pt. (arty before them, which would be the limper time for considering whether any, or what ulte rior proceedings, tumid be necessary. Their opinions should 'he formed with a due regard to the established Laws ao:1 Con,titution of the country on the one hand, and a due tenderness with repect to the p„ople on the other, but at the same time, with a determioa ion to maintain and tiphold 'gal Constitutitio.—(llear, hear, hear !)-- With resvect to the idea of a Noble Earl, that. a serious eh +rite kid been made against the great body of the people, lie ShOttht he glad to lindr.A. where such a Cha(Kt Wtts toile found was it made in the Speech fromehethrone,or in the Message of yesterrlaVl Ile must howbvt4 that no charge has been made; on the contriii„his Royal highness the Prince Regeot had beta Hoicked to declare in his Speech, t hat the great body of the people %vete loyal sold well affected-411e reference was only. to the artetupt of those; who endeavoeted to dr I,ssi them from theft duty and allegiance. Willi the Noble -Lord opposite, he agreed that the distresses of the. times were greatly to he lamented!, but it, in suds my pet iods, that ill-disposed and designing persons, preferably attempted to effect their mis-• chievoos deigns. Periods of 'dewy and prospe r ity were never chosen by them—they were the less likely to succeed at such times : in intervals of dis •tress and ditiicelty, either interne, or external, such persons were ever the most ready to net. His Ma jerty's Government were most enxions that, in the substance of the speech, or in the framing of the Message, tio charge whatever should be made 'hgainst the loyalty and good effect ions of the great body of the peoole, who certainly were firmly at tached to the established Laws and Coast it talon of their Country. The reference, he repeated, vva solely made to those who, by their miprinci- Ord arts and machinations, endeavotired to mis lead and pervert the well•affected subjects of his Majesty ; and, he: Rusted, when the regnlar pe flint should arrive for considering the important >drnieet Adverted to, they would all come to its iio , CUSSiOII prepared to proceed fairly, candidly, :tit! impartially to its consideration. (blear, hear I) Earl Geohvesiou Shortly explained. The Noble Lord, he thooght, must not have understood his Meaning. Unless he thou ht it were meant to include some large portion Of the people in the - charge, it wooid he bile and futile to make it, as, he hoegined, it could ueverite meant to take - up their Lordship's time in considering what few trifling miserable individuals could do.• E 4,1 (bitair merle several observations. of miler ..eutleocy with the sentiments delivered by I his Snide Friend, Lord Ilollaml. Ile express e d his regret, that not wkii3tanding the calamity end distress thron;liout the kingdom, not a sight -measure oleconouty or tedoction had been- pro posed, though called for tot iondly and morersally ,by the people. The patience with tt hlclt the people generally bore those butt hens and priva tions, , should operate as an additional plea in their behalf. lie earnestly measnre tending to.ahridge the rights and liberties of such peo• 'pl e , wo u ld h e ventured on, without the Most lir. gent anti palpable necessity being cleat ly thewn and lie trusted that the case would he laid before than with perfect fairness and impartiality. The 'Marquis of BUCK INGHAM briellyhtit point edly delivered his iteutiments on the occasion, which seemed greatly in unison with those of the Noble Lords on his - side of the lionsC. Ile could net avoid observiog that Ministers, by their pre sent conduct, incurred it weighty mot serious re sponsibility, lie would . come to jedgment upon the case, in the spirit in which W juror should de cide upon a tam: Of Hit or death ; and h e truste d that they vi (mt.! all come to the inVeStigttlinn iii vestett of pally prejudices. it would he. ineurn. heist on-. Ministers to prove, itt least, that the existing hri ,C %Vete HOE sudieient for the purposes for which an extension m:glit he sought —its be never could subscribe to the argument, that the greater the distresses of the country, the More necessary it was to give additional power to the l a ws. Itrstt of attempting to Abridge their con stitutional u:;,;hts, the policy and object should be to eltiltaticAr to give the people all those remedies and redress which the Laws arid Constitution af.

Lord APSLRY appeared at the liar with her Ma. jcstysvAiriwer to the Address of Congratulation upon the marriage of her ktopt Iligkhneis the Priticesi:Mary, which WAS oidcted td-be tiroug tit Mr. Sberill" Bryilges presented at the Bar of the House, the Petition of the Lord Mayor, Al dermen, and C 0411110115 of tha City of LOildnii, in Common Council assembled, praying for a Reform in Parliament, _Economy in the P u bli c Expendi ture, and a Reduction of the present enormous ;Military Force. The Petition being read, it was ordered to lie on the. Table, upon the motion of Sir William Curtis, Lord CoctllUNi said, he was entrusted to present a petition from the town of Hamilton,Lanarkshire, praying for objects similar• to those mentioned by the City Of London. On a former evening, when he presented several petitions, he observed that he knew nothing of the petitioners themselves, or of the manner in which the petition might be pre pared; but the present petition being from the place of his nativity, he could state that the viduals who had signed it were men of religions habits, who heretofore maintained themselves competently by their !,,hour ; that no men were more attached to the Government, but that they were imperiously called upon to lay their gricv ~ • antics before Parliament, in the humble hope that it would take them into consideration.---The pe tition was then read, and ordered to lie on the Table. A petition was presented from the Loyal Inks ()hams of the town of Bandon, in the County of Cork, praying for some relief from the tax 011 Window Lights and the Assessed Taxes..

The Resolution was agreed to, and the House having resumed, leave was given to grin ; ; in a Bill accordingly.

A great many vessels, laden with corn foi the Russian and Prussian troops, have arrived at Giver, and more are expected. If we may believe letters:: from Cambray,. Duke of Wellington on leaving Paris will conic and spend a few days here. There are rensont for supposing that negociations are on foot, in which the Cabinet of the Netherlands is concern ed, though the object of them is not known. They write from Lille, that his Majesty the King of France has aMolishecl the office of Commissioner Oeneral of the Police, which was con.idered as wholly unnecessary, on account of the excellent spirit which animates the in-. habitants.
