whom their Lordships had seen at their Bar, In
bringing his plan for its amelioration to m
rity. an.
He therefore had a Bill drawn up, the par-
tici:du provisions of which he should not then
detail, but he proposed to present it on Monday,
or to move
,for its immediate printing, with n
view to circulate it as widely as possible, and to
which he should beg their Lordships' most ear-
nest attention:
Lord GRZNIILLE, on seeing the 'Earl of
DARiNt.rY in his place, observed that it was pro-
per, on precisely the same grounds the House had
judged it ,neeessary, on a former evening, naMe-
iy, on considerations' of Pnblic Service, that the
Noble Earl's intended Motion should be further
deferred. He would therefore propose, that the
Order for taking it into. consideration •on Friday
se'linight be discharged,• and renewed for thefol-
'jag Monday.
The Earl of D A RNLEY -said, that having
come forward, as he trusted it was obvious he
did, solely upOn public grounds, it was with great
reludance he agreed to postpone a discussion in_
volving points of the last impOrtance,_whiCh he
thought could not be brought forward' too early.
He, remained precisely in the same opinion he did
on
,a.former night ; indeed the events of the in-
terval, onlY.servcd
,to fOrtify him in. it. How-
ever, he would now say, as he had then,, that did
the general; sense of the House appear in favour
of. postponing it, agieeahly to the wish of the
Noble Lord, lie had, no Objeaion, to the Order'
being discharged in the way propoed.
Lord HULL AND, rose, arid with a cpnsidera.
ble. degree of; warmth, contended for the neces-
sity of going into the proposed Inquiry on as
early.a day as possible. He seriously ,recommend-
ed. his. Noble. Friend, not to,agree, to the pro.
posed delay. He insisted, that the Country had
been brought into circumstances of unprecedented
ealaMity and peril.; ..it. was obviously necessary,
therefore, that 02, Solemn and earnest inyestiga,
tienvsliould be,instituted into the causes of these
dangers. and,distresses, and to, ascertain' the Au-
thors of theni,,Therumours.of important changes
in the Administration, or. the Cooncils,of His
tSTY, should be an,additional incitement to
that, flouae to institute the Inquiry, and still
more, if these chatiges were about to take place
on the. giounds assigned to them by report.-11
Was 'full time that the House: should step forward;

House Of Parliament to the Intriry,
,to sift' the sub_

to state what these People had to ex-pea in the
event of a Union; he had, repeatedly expatiated.
upon the importance of thar point, and had abesvn
that the,cause of .calamityin one instance, might

rose to Orclex Jie submitted it with deference to
the House, whether the proposal of the Noble
..lord,near him, fbr the discharge
.of an Order,
and to postpone it. for two or three days, would
bear out the . Noble Lord in the line of observa-
tion in which he
.was proceeding.
Lord HOLLAND said, that no Peer could
more ehelrfully eubtilit to the Orders of the House
on all due occasions than himself ; , but he: would
beg leave to observe, with all possible deference
to die Illa;triOus Personage who had deSnied it
proper to call ..him to Order, that he conceived
perfectly in order. He was about to give
'idea of the awful situation in which tbe
Country was placed, . and the necessity of imme.
sliaie inquiry into the' causes of it. He was prO.
reeding-to illuStrate the relation which the cir-
cumstances .of Ireland, with respell to the Ca_
tholie Question, bore to the precise, point then
under the etinSiderat ion of the House, when
