in which they lied been acquainted presiously wills
the intention of the Crown to dissolve Parliament.
It was entirely a novel and he believed an emperor-
dewed coarse. Without at this moment entering
into any view of the danger of such a course, it mot
of the utmost eonsequence to prevent it fmni
bring drawl, into a precedent. It made Parlia-
ment, in fact, a party to their own dissolutisu,.
—They were therefore abatirluoing. with their

questimiabie right, in common with the whet.

The Earl of LAUDCROALIC said, that so far from

pool) giving him any satisfaction rio this OCCUP.O...
it had had quite a contrary effect upon his mnsd.
It slow appeared that, bye Message from the f'rciwit,
the fun( lions of Parliament were rendered ono.-
acetify. and the advisers of the Crown thought this
course was according to precedent. The conse-
quence of this course was. that by a resolution of
the other House the whole proceedings of Perlis-
went had been finished. The Noble Earl was in
error when he said that en former occasious a rem-
lotion had been adopted. 'Ht would h., prepared.
on the contrary, to chew from their Journals, that
there were many instances where such intention,
expressed by the Crown were carried tutu effect by

The Earl of DonoueeMote said, this' what

by his Noble Friend. Tha Noble E eel opposite
said that their Lordships ought to dispense wilt,
their usual proceedings, •because the step *Bodes'
to had originated elsewhere. Now for that very
reason he thought they ought not to dispense with
*air proper constitutional coutrol over the appro-
priation of the public money. The reams limit
for their not discussing that appropriation wag,. a
all others, the one which ought most to induce them
to discuss such a subject. The Noble Earl lied

merely stated that there were certain soammee.„
which it was expedient should be paned. and the
Crown recommended that se short a tiaras past-
tile should be spent in their discussion. Sorely it
never meant to convey • notion that they woe. te
dispense with the power they had over their 111411.1.
proceedinks. Ha would therefore say, this after
what had passed, their Lordshipa ought to be par-
ticularly cautious not to give up the pewee they
were constitutionally vested with over their eau

eekoowledged the Message, and agreed. in obe-
dience to its recommendation. to meet the Pilger.-
cirri of the public meek, in the quickest eserwier.
The Earl of Dosouosimoas admitted that their

patch of the public business; but. they .certainly
could not have agreed to a breech of their me pri-
vileges, or a violation of their min orders. They
