The Sreaxeri. called on Mr. Secretary Pecl.—(lt is

•o have heard a pin drop.)
The Right Hon. Baronet said he held in his band a
Nits-sage from his Majesty, which ho moved might be

MESSAGE FROM THE KING.

Sir 11. PEEL rose, and addressed the House as follows :
—Sir, I propose to defer until to-morrow the consideta-
tion of any part of this Message, the answer to which
;an by possibility provoke any difference of opinion in
this House. But lam sure, Sir, I should not
'e acting in consonance with the prevailing, and I
:rust I may say the unanimous feeling of this House, if I
postponed for the shortest period to move an address to
'is Majesty, condoling with his Majeaty on account of
he severe loss which 1:e, in common with the
!ountry, has sustained by the demise of our late much-
:amented Sovereign ; and offering, at the same time, to his
11.1jesty, the aseurance of our earnest hope and prayer that
tits reign may be a feign of honour and of happiness to
'fie Majesty and to his people. lam confident, Sir, no
.xpreesion of congratulation—no prayer for his health,
•ould be so satisfactory to his Majesty, as the as.
.urance that this House sympathises with him in
-he heavy affliction and loss that he and his people
have sustained in the death of his late revered Ma-
esty. The House will bear in mind that his late Majesty
ahninistered the affairs of this country for a period of 20
years, a great portion of which time the natioribwas involved
n a sear, and during which time victories were achieved
.hat raised it to the highest pinnacle of glory. In the
lute of peace, too, the late King had endeared himself to the
aearts of his people by a mild and beneficent Government.
The period of his Regency was one, of the brightest pages
:n the annals of our history. During the time he held that
!elegated trust his only object was the public good. Ilis
.ole aim was to be generous and mild in the
distribution of equal and impartial justice. The
!ate King was an admirable gentleman, and a liberal
Matron of the arts. His he trt always sympathized
*ith any appeal to his benevolenee.—(Hear, hear,
hear, and great cheering.)-1 do not wish, Sir,
at deliver any overstrained panegyric on hie late Majesty ;
tits acts speak for themselves. I think it right to assure
he House that his present Majesty has openly de-
clared that the greatest relief he feels under his pre-
sent difficulties, is the satisfaction that he has had
ipportunities of witnessing tie conduct of hie late re-
vered father and lamented brother. The House will also
herr in mind that his Majesty has from his earliest infancy
;teen engaged in the active service of his country. His
,whits and principles as a Peer are well known, and as
he has mixed so much, and upon so many occasions, with
the public, I will refrain at prompt' from further allusion.
I hope the House will join with me iii prayers for the health,
happiness, and prosperity of his present Majeaty, and
that he may be enabled to maintain the religiou,
tl:e laws, and liberties in the most true and firm '
manner of all his Majesty's subjects. (The Right Hon.
Secretary then moved an Address similar to that given in
our report of the proceedings of the Lords.)
Mr. BROUGHAM rose to second the motion. Ir
rave the lion. Gentleman the greatest pleasure to find
that the Right Hon. Secretary, in moving the Ad-
dress, had confined himself to the adoption of that
which the whole House was sure to assent to, and in which
he most heartily concurred. The Right Hon. Gentleman
had most justly said that the reign of his late Majesty
had been one of uncommon brilliancy, and he begged
leave to say, in his humble opinion that, according to his
.snee of that reign, as regarded the prosperity of the
country, and the long maintenance of peace, that
his Majesty had presided with a firm, and well
regulated, and salutary mind as to the important duties he
had to discharge in relation to the internal quality and
condition of the country over which he had presided dur-
ing the auspicious period of his life. He (Mr. B.) wished
sincerely to condole with the illustrious Prince who
by his late Majesty's death had succeeded to the Throne;
and he trusted that, like his illustrious predecessor,
he would long be able to maintain at home and abroad
chat peace which had so long obtained, in a manner
the most decidedly useful to the people, as rea
garded their improvements, and be thereby glorious to thg
Prince in secnring to himself, when be might be remove('
from governing the nation, a lasting claim to the grail:"
trade of his country.—(Hear, hear.)—This wish he
cherished, not only in common with the Right
Honourable Gentleman opposite, but he would venture
to ads! in unisgn with the feelings of the whole House.--
(immense cheering for some time. )—He wee not disposed
to add one word which might in the slightest degree break
in upon the unanimous feeling that prevailed on this occasion.
He therefore purposely abstained from comments on the
past, or what he considered might be important, as at
present before the House. He, therefore, most cordially;
I hoped that the unanimity which prevailed on th
!immediate subject before the House might not be inter.
rupted, and be experienced great satisfaction in feeling tha
11 be could cordially, without violating any public duty or pr.
vete sentiment, second the Address.—(Cheers.)
Sir ROBERT PEEL then moved that the Addre.
, !night he presented to his Msjesty by such Members
Ithe House as were of his Majesty's most Ho curable
Privy Council.
Mr. C. W. W. WYNN proposed that, as it was a Rube
ject in which the feelings of the whole House were so ims
'mediately concerned, it would he more respectful to his
Majesty, and agreeable to the whole House, that the Ads
dress be presented by the House in a hody-.—(Cheers.)
Mr. BROUGHAM here made some observations on a
point of form, when

R. PEEL laid that if it had- not been for the
