We must take the liberty 6f expensing our total

the Earl of LIVERPOOL in the discussion of the

said, that the two Hours of Purlineneut, in de-
plying the borough of Grampoond of the elective
fratichise, ought not, iu their Bill of Disfranchise-
ment, to select the place to which the right of
electing two Members should be tranbferred, but
that they ought to repose the right of selection. iu

peaks that iu the'sense ss will of the Government
as of the people, the Revolution was supposed to
have wholly superseded this portion of the ancient
prerogative. Lord Liveopoor. could not ua the
present day think of dem:l%l(6llg for the Crown the
whole of this power, and yet if any portion of it be
remitted by the free admission of the :Ministers
themselves, no pretence can exist for claiming the
remainder. The Unions, however, that have bee',
etrected by Parliament with Sleetland and Ireland,
have by necessary inference ili'lnived the Crown of
every part of the ancient prerogative thst bad a
tendency to affect the state of the national repre-
sentation. The accomplishment of the respective
Unions of the several Pat liamenis by the power of
these bodies themselves, has piaci-el the arrange-
ment and modifications of the representative system
louder the exclusive control of the United Parlia-
ment of the empire; so that, in the pure spirit of the
constitution as it now exists, with Perlism,tit alone
it rests to correct the occasions' abuses that may
occur in the mode of representing the people—to
ascertain the most effectual-amine of removing ono-
willies or preventing dangers, and to select those
places where the rights abused by the former pos-
sessors may be exercised with must advantage to the
general welfare of the empire. A lower must esi•t
seiner/here to watch the course of events, sod to
correct the errors that may arise in the action of the
constitutions' system ; this power did once undoubt-
edly test in the Crown, but a sense ores pedieticy lass
induced the Legislature, by tacit inference from its
acts, to deprive the Crown of so dangerous an au-
thority. As, ill:Meyer. it must exist somew'tere, it
has been of necessity transfered to the Legislature,
and in his legislative capacity the KING can still
exercise s discretion in at least preventing this
power from being exercised for impolitic !impost s,
or contrary to his own tense of what is due to the
&gutty of the Crown and to the welfare of the
coMMuoity.
Lord LIVERPOOL draws a distinction between

KING by Parliament, aid time right of selritimi

it would be admitting the existence of the pre-
rogative lit principle, although disused in prac-
tice from a ionise of expediency. if the Parlia-
ment were, even under any circumstances, to au-
thorise the Crown to grant the right of electing
Members of Parliament to any place whatever, ofmns
such COudllioll..Bll the KING may !dense to specify in
the charter. The Crosser may grant the charter to
some rnisentiale 'village, tend out such conelitioiis as
would secure to the Servants of the CrOwn the power
of initnioating the Representatives, so that the state
of the representation in 'Parliament would, perhaps,
experience an ilijtary iustead of an improvement. It
would be far better, mid more consistent with the
general spiiit of our Constitution as it his existed
since the expulsion of JAMES, that the Parliament
should, oil disfratichising Grampound, choose the
'county, or town, or borough, to which the elective
fraochise ought to he transferred, than to permit the
ttirtrwn to interfere so intimately in the modification
tithe representative system as it must do, should
his MAJESTY be authorised to grout the privilege
to such place as he May in his own discretitin
select.
