fie, however, gave full credit to Ministers, that there was necessity
for siisnendiag the proceedings in Parliament, in the present situ-
ation of the country with respect to foreign affairs and the circum-
stances of Europe, ainktherethre would not oppose the adjournment.
Lord Div EROOL thanked the Noble Marquis for the candid manner
in which tic gave credit to Ministers for the expediency of the
proposed adjournment, and said, that some iisconveniencies would
alise, but when the permameut object that was in contemplation
was duly regarded, he trusted that no considerations of an inferior
nature would he put in competition with it. Under these consi-
detations, it was deemed expedient to advise his Royal Hilliness
the Prince Regent to recommend a short adjournment to Parlia-
nient.—Lords Darnley and Derby expressed similar sentiments to
those of the Marquis of Lansdowne, after which their Lordships
vjoiirned in conformity to the motion.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

TUESDAY, MAnCII 1.
After a vast deal of private business had been gone through, a
new writ was moved for the Borough of Lye). in the room of Sir W.
Garrow, who has accepted the Chief Justieeship of Chester ; upon
%%inch,
Sir S. Romlt.t.v rose and stated, that the appointment which
gal e occasion to the present motion, was, in his mind, liable to
considerable objections, to %%Melt he felt it his duty to draw the
attention of the House. He understood that the Right Hononrable
Gentleman, the Attorney-General, did nut mean to resign that
office, but to hold it together with the iusticeship of Chester. The
holding them both appeared! quite incompatible. The possession by
a Judge of a lucrative office granted at the pleasure of the Crown,
from which he was removable at the pleasure of the Crown, was
inconsistent with that independence of the ledges of the land,
which was so important to the country. The place of Attorney-
General was one of the most lucrative places which the Csown
had to bestow. He was, by his situation, a puhlic accuser, and it did
appear to him, that to appoint apublic accuser to sit in jsolgmeot,
and administer, justice, was by no means consistent with the in-
terests of the country. In what lie said, he did not intend any
thing personal ; there was Hushing flintier from his mind. He
would make no motiorernow, upon the subject, our did he intend to
make it at any other time ; but he could not avoid making the few
remarks with which he had troubled the House.
The writ was then ordered to be issued.
A DJ OU RN M EN T.
Mr. VANSITTtIIT moved, that the House shan't), at its rising,
adjourn to the 21st instant.
Mr. TIEINEY conceived it rather an extraordinary proceeding
that au adjournment shield be proposed without assigning any
reason.

Mr. VANSITTART said, that it Was the desire of the Prince Re-
vutt in the name and on the behalf of his Majesty, that a further
adjournment should take place.
Mr. WHITBREAD admitted that there was a precedent for the
communication from the Prince Regent, and would nut object to
the motion, under the Expectation that a proper time will- arrive
when information would be given 'why the adjournment was re-
quired, and in such a manner as would prove, he hoped, satisfac-
tory to idle House and the public. It was his wish, however,
that it should lie guarded ag,ainst as a precedent, and that some
record should be entered upon the Journals with that view. lie
concluded by moving, as an amendment, an address to the Prince
Regent, assuring him that they cheerfully complied with the pro-
posed adjournment, but trmtims it would not be drawn into a per-
nicious precedent.
I,fird A. HAMILTON said a few words on the inconvenience
%skids would arise from the Nailer adjournment ; while Mr. Pus-
St/NM( acquiesced in its propriety.
Mr. WIEITBREst n's amendment was then Lin; and negatived.
The House cause to a resolution that no private Rills be read a
first time after the t'Bth of mill next, nor any reports upon pri-
vate Rills be receiver! aft .03d-ot May.---Adjourned to the
