HOUSE OF LORDS,
Monday May T.
Earl Grey rose and uddiessed the house
to the following purport : “My Lords, I am
persuaded there is no one in this house or
the country bu' views the present crisis of
affairs with the deepest solicitude. To what_
ever quarter of the chart of the public inte
lest 1 turn my eye; whether I consider the
t ranscetidant power of our enemy oh the con
tinent, the injudicious policy of our govern .
•nent, or the present distraction of the pub
lie mind at home, I am equally filled with
trtxiety. Feeling, as 1 do, in unison with
my noble friend on my left. (Lord G-eu
villc) and those who have had the, happiness
to concur with him in opinion, I 'bought it
my duty to address your lordships upon the
present awful 8c alarming state of the conn .
try. It is not in behalf ot any particular ad
ministration, hut it is in defence of the con
stitution and liberties of the nation. 1 would
communicate my sentiments to this house 8c
tlit people. I would examine, that we may
find out the source of those calamities winch
at present threaten our very existence. ———
But. whether they have any origin in tie', e I
who unfortunately hold the reins ot govern,
nent, or whether hev a»e more immedi
alely to be ascribed to those who are at pre
sent attempting todnestihe public mind, it
is of the last importance that we should con
tend for the power and privileges of the two
houses of parliament. I feel also conside
ratify embarrassed in adopting die line of
duty I ought to pursue, and which l owe to
the present times and posterity I would,
my lords, have it clearly understood that mi.
thing can induce me, or those with whom I
have the honor to concur, u> give any assist
tancc to h s m.ij sty’s ministers who have so
blindly 8c so ignorantly conducted the affairs
of 'his country.
Whether we advert to the calamities of
warfare, or the con entinns they have exci
ted a1 home, their conduct must meet with
our decided condemnation. T iey are the
persons wno have not only at one lime uu
necessarily stretched ihe power of parlia
ment beyond a saint try degree ; but they
have, at another iinc, by tueir imbecility
anti indecision, produced tbe opposite ex
treme ot reprehensible relaxation. They
have, by their measures, produced tiia; fer
itient which now agitates the public mind,
and have given to many mistaken individu
als an opportunity ot disputing cv* n the ex
istence ot the power and privileges of parli
ament. This power, my lords, nas always
bel mged to the two houses of the leg sia
ture, and was never disputed. Acc rdiog
to every information 1 nave derived ; uc
e nding to all which I ever read; or was
taught, respecting the constitution; uccoid
rig to the most competent and eminent au
thorities 1 have consulted or have kpown ;
•h« power and p ivilege of parliament have
been invariably admitted. F..r a moderate
and judicious exercise of that power, I shall
a. ways be an auvocate.
Considering, as 1 do, the critical situali
on of the country, it was not an easy mat
ter for me and others to discharge what we
may term our duty, on this occasion. But
I wish the public to have this opportunity
of learning our sentiments, and that we may
no longer be made the objects of misrepre
sentation. I have thought it incumbent thus
to address your lordships, and to signify that
tbe times call upon us to trace the calami
ties which threaten the nation, to their true
source, and to suggest those measures which
may avert their ruinous & alarming cortse.
quences. For this purpose, my lords, 1 now
give notice that it is my intention, on tins
day three weeks to move an address to his
majesty, and I now move. That the lord-> be
summoned for hat day
1 he Karl ot Liverpool, was happy to find
so much unanimity respecting the public
spirit which had been raised against tiie j
power and privilege ot parliament What I
ever might he 'he. opinion of the noble earl {
who had last addiessed the house, as to any
individual ot administration, he was sure his
information, and the long experience of his
litc, would lead him to support the power iSc
privileges vested in the two houses oy the;
constitution. lie would not enter into any j
arguments, at tins time, to shew hpw far the'
conduct of ministers had been guided b> a
se ise of propriety on the occurrence ot past
events ; that subject would come under their
consideration, and he had cnly fo make a
claim of reserve, with respect to what lie
himself, or any of his colleagues, might have
to alledge at that period. He had no hesi
tation in saying they Could de.end them,
selves from any charge which might be bro't ;
against them, and would prove that they ;
had discharged their duty wttn the strides
propriety.
X*#ra GrenvilleMy lords, I confess it
does not appear to me, that ttic noble seci e
tary of state can reasonably expect I shoud
say, that 1 could possibly receive boo any
man h more distinct statement of the object
and nature of the motion, of which lie has
given no'ice, than 1 have received by what
has been stated oy my noble friend. My
noble friend has distinctly stated, that, im
pressed with a sense of all the dangers which
surround this kingdom; dangers, unhappily,
not of one description only, but surrounding
us on every side ; dangers not assailing us
from one q mi ter alone, would to tiod they
were! Inn dangers threatening the country
from every quartet. If his intention is to
submit a detailed address to Ins majesty,
upon the subject of ihnse dangers, to submit
his viewi, and the views of those who con
cur with fTim sis to the cubes of those dan
gers, the measures by which tliev may be
averted, and the steps they tire imperiously
called oil to take. I Cannot agree wi'.il the
noble lotd, that these questions, when ti.s
cussed, can be separated from the question,
i whether WO have, in this country, an «U.j,
ministration capable of defending us from j
the dangers which silt round us, or, whether
on the Contrary, the existence of these dan
gers. the crisis in which we find ourselves
at the present moment, when our all is at
stake, are not mainly to be attriuutcd to the
misconduct of the ministers to whom the
government of the country has been entrust
ted ? If any man in the course of the ilis
cussion does not mean to take that extensive
view of the situation of the c»untrv, which
can alone enable you, or, if you carry an
address to the crown, can alone enable the
crown to judge of the means of averting the
impending dangers, and their consequences,
one of the principal considerations must be
thy rashness, misconduct, mistaken views,
and utter ignorance of the true principles of
the constitution, which have marked the j
whole conduct of those who unfortunately
lor the country, have had the administrati
on of the public affairs. I ngtee with the
noble lord, it is not from that quarter only !
vve are menaced with danger I am sen }
sible that, while, on the one hand, we have
a government that rashly plunges into dif.. !
ficullies and measures, without considering i
how thev ate to extricate themselves from
those d flkulties, or how the measures they
adopt are to be supported ; you have on tlie >
other hand a disposition rising in the coun.
»rv, not against anv particular act of the go
vernment, but against the exercise of the le- 1'■
gal powers of the constitution itself. It is this I
situation of things, that calls upon every man, 1
who knows and venerates the constitution of 1
•he country, 'o rally not round the present
government, who have violated the constitu |i
iion, but to rally round the constitution itself: 1
but, above all. to rally round that which is
> he main source of all the blessings this conn
try enjoys ; to which alone we can look for j
security against danger; more prosperous,
happy and secure times ; 1 mean to rally
round the parliament of the country. My
Lords, whenever the moment shall ari-e
when parsons of any description shall attempt
to violate the independence of parliament_
when attacks shall be made with a view to
tlrs roy the confi lence of the country in its |
parliament; I mean not the confidence of
the country in this or ihat description of
persons, who compose the parliament and!
w no may form puis of this or the other!
h use of parliament ; hut I mean of the par '
hamentarv constitution of the country ; if''
ever the people are taught to look for relief,
for safety, for hope hut to the parliamentary
safety, and he relief and hope to lie deri
ved from that source, it requires but little
gift of prophecy to tell them that they will
he deluded to their destructi n. For, my
Lords, from parliament, the liberty of the
country originally sprang. All the weal'll,1
power and prosperity of the country, have ^
arisen from parliament, and are to lie attri '
bu'ed o parliament. I am convinced, that, <
by parliament, it may be done. But, my
L* ivth, for the f ii'hful discharge of that du <
tv which parliament owes to die country, it
is the first and principal duty of parliament
to maintain and assert the privileges which '
were given tor the bent.fi' of the country —
Pi ivdt ges. which have uniformly beer, exer., .
cisgt'.f .r he henefi' of the country, and can- i
not without a species of treachery be aban- '
doned. Without those privileges, the exer
cise of 'vhich the people have been deluded i
to contest a free and independent parlia- t
ment never could have existed. Whoever t
knows any thing of the history of the coun 1
try, must be convinced, that an independent i
parliament never could have existed, widi i
out the privileges, and the means of ex rci
sing them, which are now disputed With
out those powers which are now inherent in
parliament, and the exercise of the particu
lar privilege, which.it is now said, it is for
the benefit of die people to prevent the ex_
ercise of, parliament could never have a
chieved for the cou try what it has If the (
persons who oppose this privilege should sue- ,
ceed in depriving parliament of a privilege ,
so necessary to its existence, it will prevent
its asserting its own independence, and of
maintaining its own dignity. If they should |
succeed in dep; ivi.ig die house of parliament ,
of tbeir privileges, and of driving them to j
ocher quartet s for protection and security,
from that moment parliament ceases to ex
ist as an independent parliament. Under
such a system, parliament never could have
raised this country to what is is. At the
period when our ancestors established the
freedom of parliaments, at the commence
ment of the reign of the Stuarts, at that par- 1
ticular time it was that this instrument of 1
parliamentary power, which is now contest.. 1
td, was the means by which the freedom anti
liberty of tin country was aff cted ; and if
even parliament relinquishes that principle,
they despoil themselves of the means of af 1
fording to the crown that security which it 1
will receive, rather from parliament than
from those who profess to h» better friends
to die crow ft. 1 hey will deprive parliament 1
of die means of doing that whicii parliament
has ever done ; 1 mean, of maintaining that
liber y which parliament alone has establish j
ed, and can alone secure the continuance of. <
Whatever circumstances arise in this Conn,
try, 1 will never desert the standard of par- i
liament : round that I will rally, because 1
know, and am convinced, that woon the in.. 1
dependence of parliament depends the best
interests, the prosperity, the tranquility, the '
freedom, and indcpendence of the Bi itisii ein <
pire." 1
Lord hrfktne—•* My lords, I am ready to 11
Concur with my noble friends, that thep .w !
er and privileges of parliament ought to be
supported ail times I revere the Consti.
t'nion; but tire subject upon which 1 u se to
offer my sentiments is this, the power exer |
cisrd lately by the house of commons lias
been alluded *o, and the unfortunate circum
stances which attended it ; but, my lords,!*
tills is a (j ifSMon of grave and serious irti
portaucc. 1 11c consti.ution itself is founded
upon the law of the land, and I must ever
contend that we are all under the dominion!
of that law. It mv noble friends would say
that the courts of justice cannot have juris
diction in this case, 1 must differ from t hr try ;
for until the judges decide, we ought not to
determine. 1 shall ever revere the liw of
this country, and we are bound to obey it os
rxpi •nided by the learned judges. It isou< or
•he power of the leg.slature to put its own?
>oiu»Uucuou u 1*011 a law, after it is made,!
"nd, therefore, in the present instance, I
sh.ill not assume the i x. rcise if the power,
as right, till 1 hear the opinion of my noble
ami learned Inend (lord Elieuborough.)
1 his question is one of great doubt, so great
that me king's attorney general, as such,
anil acting nsa member ot .he house of com- j
in-ms, was puzz ed and c<>uld tint determine.
He could find no precedent for the exercise;
• 1 this power on the annals of putliament.
Unknown to your lordships, the speakei'sj
serjeant, who executed ihe warrant, may I
yet be indicted, tried convicted, and t XeCu- I
red for murder llui inuilca-.es I must bow i
to the decision ot law : and never, while I !
possess blood or bones, shall the house of com
mons, or your lordships,do with lord chie.
justice Elleiibomugh. as the house of com
mons once did with chie! justice Pemberton.
I w ,uld die, my lords, litter.tUy, I would die
jefore the parliament should usurp a power
above the lawoftlit land, The people, 1 am [
persuaded, would best submit to th.it uu
thorny, and it it had been appealed to p*r~
lament, needed not to have applied for assis
tance from the king. When they are told by
die judges what me law is they have coi.fi
lrnce hi itsjustir.e. and they sub nit to that
ipwrr when they would resist every othet.
rluwever I esteem my two noble frier.ds, aod
ic. with them in political injunction. I must,
liough in opposition to their sentiments, as
>sri v me principles i maintain, i cannot so
a*'depart from what has been the maxim
>f my past lift, as to concur with them en
irely on the present occasion It will, 1 hope,
iroduce a proper conclusion in the public
nihd, that we can entertain Independent o
unions, when necessary to the public inter
?st. I think, on the presen question, my
►elf equal with any of your lordsnips, as to
teing competent to decide. In the case of
liglt treason, it was endeavored to moke a
t w overt act of treason ; I answered. No
►Y'ny not i Why, because it was not contain
;d in the statute of Edward III. I was told
•t lord ti tle, but with all my esteem for him
te was but a laige fly buzzing in the win
low, when compared to the statute nr writ
en laws of the realm. It is the laws which
tfford us security, liberty, and property, and
ivithout them the constitution cannot be
uamiained.” The noble lord conclude d
t very argumentative and animated speech.
It was order' d that the noble lords be sum
moned accordingly.
