Lord iiOI.I,AND" In cowegotence of the N able

Meeting of she Secret COlSMAttc.e.U.tia•motrow,

f..g leave also to onstionne presenting to the
the Bill or whid, I env/ notice, fora repeal of the
I.2th of Gen. 111. I should now, my Lords, coo-
beat myself with this iiitimation, were it not teat
.several very absued rumours have reached my ears
respecting the object of my Hotter, which render it
necessary that I sl Id give to your Lordships
some expl.iiiitiolei upon this point. Tile purport
of my Poll contemplates nothing more rli,n
Pimple repeal of the Royal N 1,1111.1441 Act. I trust
that I have been too well known to your Lordships
during a political life of tine-auil.tweilty years,
however during that course of time we may have
differed opine political topics. to believe that I
could, in proposing the repeal of that Act, intend
to illumine, to my Bill a clause of it retrospective
effect.—(Cries of ' Bear, ear:l-..-The Bill
which I may have the honour of solunittiog
to your Lord.h.p., will, as I have already said,
extend to nothing beyond the simple repeal of the
Royal Marriage Act. This 'moult has nut been
formed suddeuly. oeupon the view of any ',articular
circumstances. It is one which I have. long enter-
tained, and often resolved to submit to your Lord-
ship.. Though I
now postpone it, I trust your
Lordships will clot consider that I shall take you by
surprise. should I present the Bill in the 1-lonac on
some day before the meetiog of the Secret Com-
mittee; for whether that Committee may meet or
not, or whether the duties assigned to it may be
the same, or duller from those now contemplated,
it is still my purpose to present the Bill. I hope,
theieforp, that your Lotildlips will not he surprised
if I offer it to the [louse some time during the pre-
sent nee k, although I do not at present specify any
particular day."
