Warraden has orders from. Government to give,
within 15 (Ifiys, a very detitited:rcpaa respecting
the prisoner of whoin we have recently spoken,

this personage. It appears that the positions of

LOUD MAYOR AND.COR.PORATION pp DUBLIN.
The Slif.Al{.l.;it bad to acquaint the douse, that
he had received a letter from the Lord Mayor of
Dublin, respecting the manner in which he should
'present a I'ctition to the house. 4e read the
letter to the House; it was signed A.B. King,
Lord Mayor, and stated, that the 'Corporation of
Dublin having voted a Petition on the subject of
the Catholic Claims, he (the Lord Mayor) was
deputed to present it at the Bar Of the two Houses,
and requested permission to present it, at the Bar
of 041-louse of Commons ; ut the-same time ex,
pressing a hope, that this privilege would be con-
ceded; and that the Petition would be received in
a manner analogous to that in which the flOuse
receivedpetitions from the City of London.
Mr. CiIIAI"PAINT dial not concur with the object of
the Petitieur, but waiiankions to (19 every houour
to. the City of ..Dublin; and therefore Moved,
<<That the LordThyor'of•Dublin be :admitted to
presenr the PetitiOn of • :the said City'at the. ILI-,
of House.—

SHAW-, of Dubiin;seconded the Motion:
Mr. WYNNE, in 01)*tilir, to the motion, meant
Tie dist'espeet the City of,Dublin;bUt,he 0196;4
it incumbent upon the House to goyerned by
the preeedents they had laid down. This privilege
had never been conceded to any Corpor4iim
that of the City of London. It had never 1,4 e. n 7
claimed by the City of
.Dublin, even when there
Was an Irish Parliautent If this were'conceded,
on any subject of importanc'e, the Lord Mayor of
Dublin must he dispatched over here with the.
Petition of the Corporationis, 'or
.else it wohld ye
wilt---" Ott, this is a snhjeet which they'd°
not take Much intcrek, as they do not send the
Lord Mayor over to present , it, as, they did
When they petitioned Parliament on the Catliblie
Claims."

PEBLE bnped, that, undeh the particular
circumstancea of the case, the House would be
induced to accede to the Honoorable entietuan's
propositions,--particularly as the Chief Magistrate
of Dublin lead art tially arrived in town. The Cor-
poration of Dublin had no the motive in trans-
mitting the Petition, in the. manner they had done,
than a 401" C, to give ,it eVery weight in their
power; and he did think the House would be act-
ing too strictly, if they rejected this application;
He Wished particularly to observe, that he was
by no means indueid to accede to die Motion, on
account 'of the nature or seutiments.of the Peti
flan. lle was sure, in de;.'iding this question, it
was quite unnecessary to k:low what they were--
it, was sullicient to state; that request was ritade
by the Corporation of the second City in them-
pire,. which it Was easy for the House to gratit,.
and which wotild be received by those seeking it
with every.proper acknoWledguienL
Mr. TIERNEY objected to the motion.
FrrzsERALD: spoke in favour of it, '-He
thought it a comollment which ought to be paid
to the Qiiief Magistrate of the. seconl'Qity of the
tnipire.
Mr. Witt TB lipAD asked if they hint • enjoyed thii
privilege when they hail i Parliament in Ireland
Mr. W. FrrzOuttm.o could not find any proof
that they had. -

Lord CASTLEREAGH said, in the Irish
Parlia-
ment no petition could be presented hut by the
hands of a 'Member. This W 45 OM of their itd'ilding
Orders. The House in the present instance was
placed in some difficulty, but as he thought no par-
ticular consequence beyond the immediate con-
sequence could be apprehended from granting the
request, he hop;cl it would be, granted in a spirit
of conciliation and good humour.
Mr. TIERNEY understood, in the Irish Parlia.

matt they bad a standing Order, that tSo PAition.
should be resented but by .a Member. He ap-
praentleil it was much the same, with one ex-
ception, that in favour of the City of London.
The SPEAKER said, they had no standing order.
on. the subject. The question waS always nut
when on admitting the Lord Mayor or Sheriffs Of.
London. It. was therefore optional with the
House to admit them, or refuse admittance, and
on one occasion in 1690, it had been their plea-
sure to refuse to receive them.
Lord CASTLEREAGH, as a matter .of courtesy to
tbe'Corporation of Dublin, wished its Chief Ma-
gistrate to be admitted to their Bar, as he had
actually come to England for the purpose of pre-
senting it.
Mr. TIERNEY recommended, that the present
Petition should he put into some Member's bands
to prs,sent, and that the house should delibe-
rately decide bow to act when the. next petition
arrived. ,

The CHANCELLOR of the EriCHEQUER contend-
ed', that by receiving this,- they would not hind
themselves to receive ail future Petitions in the
same manner ; and therefore under the peculiar
circumstances of the case, thought the request
ought to he granted.
Mr. PoicsoNßy differed from the Chancellor of
the Exchequer. Ile thought if this Petition were
read in the mduner proposed, they would bind
themselves to receive all others in the sauce way.
He saw nothing in this PetitiOn, to distinguish
the particular case to justify their doing that which
was not to, be made an universal rule.
The CHA,NCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER wished it
o he .received like the Petitions of the City of
London,

The question beinff nut on the particular case,
Mr.'gROKER hoped the !notion ►voutld be acceded
to, and that. Ireland would not be stamped,
through Dublin, with a sensation of inferiority.
After some further desultory conversation, Sir
J. StlAw, adverting to the comparisons made be-
tween the Cities of London and Dublin, claimed
the privilege of presenting their Petition at the
Ilar of the House, as that to which the City of
London had a right ; and he knew of no au-
thority that could refuse to admit those whom they
sent.

'the SITAKER said, no One had a right to
knock at their door, and enter their 1-fouse, but
the Crown, who
.was permitted by them to open
their door. _ _

Sir J. SnAw felt he bad expressed himself. too
strongly. He had only a wish to ciaitu the ancient
privilege of the City of: London. • ,
Alderman Comnt could not go so fay as fhellim.
'ort. had gone, in claiming the privilege 13 ques-
tion as. a right.
Mr. GRAT'rAN milde An addit;on to' his motion,
with made it a, proposition for 't•e:ceivirig. the Lord
Mayor " accordin to the wage observed in re-
ceiving a Petition from the City of London.'
Mr. W. WY NNE again opposed the motion, burl
considered it tohe wrong in the nouse tO give any,
encouragement to the Miagist rate of a City to.leave
his charge.
Mr. Ptrt.E observed, that, by an'Act of Parlia-
ment of his present Majesty, in ease the Lord:.
Mayor of Du4.4in was obliged to proceed to Eug-.
land on Official business, lie
,was empowered to
elect LI locum tenen.; from amongst those who had
filled the office of Chief 144giktrate. •
Sir W. Cnalls obllerved, that the Petition of the
City 'of London were not ..presented by their Ma
gistrates, but by the. Chief Officers of the Corpo-
ration. lie should be glad to pay any mark of re-
spect -to the City. of thiblin.
Lord COCIIItANE moved, as an amendment, that
the'lvOrds and the Lord Provost at Edinburgh.!'
should be inserted after the name of the Lord
Mayor aDublin: lle saw. no reason why both
cities should not, he placed on the same footing 4
ThiS gave rise to some disentsiOn, in which Lord
Castlereagh, _ Lord A.- .Hamilton, Mr. liatilurq,
Mr. Tierney, and Mr. Ponsonhy. participated ;
after Which the amendment . was negatived, and
the original motion carried vithoot ft dIVISIOII.
Mr. "WpurNtoitE was discharged from the cus-
tody of the Sedeant at Arms, upon payment of his
fees. - • . _

Mr. D. GIDDY postiumed his motion on the sub-
ject of the Copy. right of Books till to-morrow

PLIOVISIONS FOR itEGI.N r I

Sir. FRANCIS Bunn; TT rose to make his.pro-
mised motion on this subject. He was sorry to be
compelled to trespos upon the House, after the
large call they had already bad upon their pa-
tience. 7 But the proposition he bad to make, lip-
pearetVto him to be so plain, so simple, so easy,
and sh intelligible', that he rejoiced to sav it
would "require fetv arguments to enforce, tkliti no
lengthened eulogy to prevail on the House to adopt
it., ,Re conceived , that it was, nevertheless, of
the highest importance;. atiecting in every point
viov conatitutional' principles of the
country ; and involving the safety and interests
of the Throne, as w(;11 as the legal intereitof
the subject. 11c bad not brought it I:orwaTd
with Out having repeatedly endeavoured to get
other Alembers of that House, pop,,essinß- more'
weir:lit than hirnsell,•to undertake the task ;: and
it ‘etild be recollected, that he Irld twice emlea-

wowed to hare addresses voted to his Royal fligh-
tless the Prince Regent on the subject, though he
bud been unable to procure either of them to be
adopted. Finding length that the subject
was not likely to be hi ought forward by any
other person, he was compelled to execute the
office himself, even with the small pretensions he
had to the consideration of the House. It seemed ta
him, that violent encrOachments had been made on
the legal institutions of the country by the proceed-
ings in 1788. They were a great departure from
the Constitution, and though it was not his wish
to recur to any thing like personal allusion, or
say any thing likely to beget acrimonious opposi,
tion, he would say that those proceedings origi-
flitted in a violent faction at the time, to preserve
themselves in office, without regard to the < Con-
stitution of the country, In the 'debates upon
that question, it had, in his opinion, been justly
maintained on One side, that when the Crowrt
WPS incompetent to the discharge of its functions,
the exere.se of the prerogative ought of course to
devolve on the heir Apparent. On the other, it
was held, that the Heir Apparent had no right at
this kind more than any Qther subject. Strictly

Crown were essential to the interests of the cone-

Mon law were chiefly these:—that its , desceet
should be hereditary, without election or inter -
ference with the order of Snecession ; and thet it
should never suffer snSpension. But in the in-:.
stance to Which be had referred, these grenteinee---
tildes had been departed 'from. The donee we;eld'
:See, 'then; the. danger of departing from the.n'•in-
ciples on the plea of necessity. In 1810, the ter -
•mer usurpation; which should haVe- served as a
beacon to be avoided, was`taken is an ex' enple to
be folloWed; They kne‘v that %iris Mujestv, fro in

to say ; but from the evidence of the Physicians,
be had strip; grounds for saying that- they had
acted in the name of theitiing, when- the King
was personallyunfit to discharge the Royal duties.
This was a second violent' departure from the Con-
stitut!on of the country, subversive of the prero-
gative of the Throne,. an&the rights of the side-
hject. The fiction or phantom, as ithad beeli deli-
eel, by which this vas done, and the great Seat
. applied to the non; nation by Parliathent of 1-4:;..!
Executive Magistrimte of the country, was equal::
ly indefensible. Ile Wished the House to come to ,
a decision, and to provide for a' vacancy, while,
though not likely to happen, might again happen',
and compel them to a like' deviation frinn the
Constitution. To preverrt this, and the plea eft

nion, never existed) Was his object., He wished
to preveot that which he must condeum--..--proceed.
ings -by which Parlinthent norninated to the regal
office, and did still more, for they took upon theta'
selves to restrain the prerogatives which the z)oio-
mon law attached to the Crown so much so a 3
to render the Prince unwilling to accept the re. ,
stricted office offered to him, to which he at last
only gave his consent, as appeared by his letter,
because he thought the evils of baying no Goverze
ment at all would be greater than those of a con-
fined Government.' He bud stated that be had 4
reasonfor peculiarly calling on thelitiase to adopt
the present Measure. He would,' however, leave
if to Gentlenien"s own minds to suggest what .it
was, and only, hint, that as the greatest evil that
ever bactarisen to this country, grew out of ached
ptiterd succession, so a disputed claim to the Re-
gency naight lead to evils equally to be deprecated-
They were called on to guard against this, veld
to secure the Minister of the day from subvertinet
the Constitution under the plea of necessite. Ifi
his motion were adopted, his view of the subject,
and the measure lie Aotild have 'to propOse, would
be to do this, but he nad so. worded hisairopesitioo.
at notto tie them down to any specific form.----
From every reason suggested by analogy, it ape
peared right that this matter sliould be, settie,t,
and the' saute pro vieiens made for the case tit: the
King's insanity to for a case of his natural ite:i
It was an established principle, that. 'the t:,:eneet
knew nothing' of infancy, or of any thing to ince-
pacitate it from discharging its trust fOr the bene-
fit of the people; and whenever any Incapaelte
arose, it ought to be transmitted to a successor
without interference. As this important case
prcurred, he SOW no reason why the principle,
l should not be extended to other •possihie contin-
gencies. It would be idle to notice many 6( the:
reports to his supposed views in bringiogethis sub-
ject forwfglif Some had aCensed ofeloinfre it

the Princess dharlotteesilf Wales. Until tie be Ark!
that she was not a proper persOe for tuts t,ust, he
would not intrude arguments on the House to
prove the contrary.; but would, in the first in-
stance, content himself with moving for leave to
bring in a hill to settle the point, and not let so
important a matter open for ever the way to con-
fusion and anarchy. ITe imagined he should not
be told, that the Princess N'it's net of age, Gentle-
men of the lung-robe knew-the Exec wive must be
always in ectivity, and, • if vested in a youngper
son, with responsible ;lathers. But they had pre-
cedents to guide them in this circumstance ; and
'Regency Acts formerly passed to decide for them,
though there was no precedent of as persoo of full
age like the Prince Regent, having ever before
been, restricted in the exeleise of Isti, coostitu-
tional authority. By the Act of Henry the VI 11 th ,
the age of the male capable of exercising the Rovi.l
functions was fixed at 18, and .of the female at iti,
By that of William and Mary, the male at 18, the
fomale at 15, the Legislature universally making a
'difference of two or three years.between the male
an d female, in the period assigned fur 'maturity.
But in the preSent case little was no difficulty,
Cie Prirntess had arrived at a sufficient age—at an
aFe at which he should net. be told, that it the
king and the. Piinee Regent were to die, she
would not succeed at once to the full possession
of all the powers, (If ,the Crown. Not but that
his Royal Highness might yet have male issue;
but even if so, the present Measure ‘yonld not be
found to interfere. , From the unfortunate
union in the goyal Fatuity, however, which they
all lamented, this event was rendered not likely.
Be had admitted that the contingency against
which he was endeavouring to provide was not
probable. He hoped it would not sharpen, but,,
when they callee to mind the instability'of hu-
man life, Ihey would, be convinced that it became
them as Legislators to provide against that which
might be of so much consequence to a rople, for
tvhich, as private individuals,.they would think it
right to prepare a remedy. All those who bad
supported the principles of ..Mr. Fox; he would
reckon on to support his proposition, he even
looted for the votes of Gentlemen on the opposite
side, who having acknowledged their former, con-,
duct to be a departure from the Connitntioo, on-
ly justified by necessity, must now be anxious to
take care that no s:milar necessity. should ever
again occur, but that it should be Warded off by
legal and constitutional provisions, lie then nui-
madverted opt the, danger of the Crown, if the
former precedents continued to be the law, • and
supposed extreme cases to justify their guarding'
against it. His only object was to preserve the
Constitution unimpaired; and he had carefully ab-
stained from all extraneous 'topics—casting blame
no, where, and exciting no ill NViii:bllt only call-
-04; on them to provide n remedy before necessity

'for which they had been tainted with the Mune of

titni 'from the ithputntions which had twen thrown
eat against it, as hostile to the Regent, Or as iit•
tended to throw the ball of conteotion into the

cipate no-objections to his proposition, and there-

dispositiott on the part of an Oligarchy in that

event Ofthe death of the Prince Regent, during

Lord COCHIIANn seconded the Motion.

Air..BAirneusir. opposed it, as unnecessary and
uncalled for, at the. same time giving the Honour-
able Mover credit forllie candid and liberal man-
ner in winch he had snhmitted his proposition to
the House. The Hon. Baronet had thought it so
simple, that he had not gone into many illustra-
tions, and had very properly kept not of sight any
other considerations not connected with the sub-
ject. lie ctittid not agree to his .colouring of the

employed on former occasion. A. tlic Riglit
Ilon. Gentleman hall not brought .forward any
cogent argument against the measure, lie thought
that the remedy proposed by the Hon. Baronet
should be considered.

Lord A. HAmwroN could not conceive how
those Gentlemen who had argued that the re-
strictions on the Regent were necessary could op-
pose a measure 'like that of the Hon. Baronet,
which rendered these restrictions unnecessary. •
Mr. W. WYNVE aid, that the method.to conic
to a proper deCi4ion onthe.stibjgoPwas, to discuss,
the matter calmly, and not when driven to it by
the urgency of the case. He entirely concurred
Irith the [lon, Baronet in the principte on which
he brought forward his motion, bat he thought
that his object would hiive 'perhaps been better
attained by referring the naitter•to the considera-
tion. of a Committee.

Mr. PoN.SoNtly said.that he should give his vote
in favour of the motion of the Hon. Baronet, but
before he did so, he wished to stateto-the House
his reason. It was no stithetebt• reason to object
to the motion, because there was nci probability of
-the occurrence of any ease in which it inigiit be
necessary.' While there was at possibility of such
a case occurring, it was the duty of the I-louse to
provide against it ; and as Ministers indicated no
intention of taking any steps t,)wards the acemn-
plishment of the object, it was, very proper. and
commendable in the Honoarable Baronet to have
brought forward sue!: a motion. There was a pro-
bability of his I%i:testy's life being. prolonged. for
a considerable time ; in which case, there was
only a point between the recurrence of occasions
similar to those which had formerly happened. If
the proposition of "the Hon.. Bart was agreed to,,
if might 'lead to some legislative meaSitre; which
might enable Parliament •to make sonic provision
by Which the Regal authority might be put-in ac-
tivity my a process much. less tedious than that,
which had been resorted to on.a former occasion.
He thought that it was poisible for Parliatnent ttl
do this, without deputing from their former.prin-,
ciples ; 'and on that ground he should give his vote
in favour of the Motion. He did not blend with
the question then before ftellouse any. con Sider-,
ation •relating'to the to be entrusted *if)
power, nor of the quantity of power to be eh.
trusted to that person.
Lord CasTenne:Nott said, that he., would sub-
mit to the House his reatnms fn; thining, that ai
case had not been made' out, of_ stifficient neces,
city, or even of sufficient expediency, to Call fur
an acquiescence in the Motion of the Hon. Bart.
The ground taken by the Hon. Bart. appeared t 45
lead to the detertninetion of that which' Parlia-
ment had incorporated into the Constitution, ra.-
ther than to a provision for a particular contin-
gency,ifor the whole of the Ilonaiart.'s argument
went to rebut the principles on which the two
Regency Acts had been grounded. These the
Honourable Baronet had described as subver.
sive of the ConstitutiOn, and ' encroaching on
the privileges of the 'Crown. For his part,. he
(Lord Castlereagh) deprecated most .strongly
the revival of discussions which would re,
vine all- that heat and anianosity. so much
to be lamented, ;He 'thought the country had
acquired a. great bleising in the constitutioulil
principles which at a period not very remote, had
as.he trusted, been firmly established :by the de-'
cision of the Legislature. So far would be be
from consenting, to institute any measure•which
should call in question the proceedings of last
year, and the year that he deprecate'( Most
strongly any,atteMpt whatever to unsettle the re-
salt of those pr(iceedings.'. As to the particular'
case, the probability. of its occurrence Was so sinall

it was the Safest course, and the one most consis—

CoMmittee should lie apnointed ti) consider the
trotter. .That. hriring been neo;ativeti,
from that time until then, t e question had
never been .agitated. He thought that the Ho,
Pourable Baronet had chosen the precise titne
when it wws proper to agitate it. Suppoiing.- any

shoved how urgent the necessity was, that the
House sboal,l imuwliately take prOper steps to
prevent it. He concluded by profeti ittg that he
should. give his vote in favour of the motion, and
because he thonp,-lit that be ecnild not do filsduty
to his country better than by supporting such
measure. •

The arguments browdit against him were to the
elf,...ct, that, " futile:cut for the day is the evil.
thereof." But on a subject such as that before
the [rouse, arguments founded on such a principle
could not be relevant. He had frequently called
the attention of that House, and be Inuf endeft-
..voured to.e:111 the. attention of the Crown, to. the
matter which was the subject of his Motion, But
always without effect. The probability of the
.prolongation of life was no just cause why the
Consideratiotrof it should. be deferred. The.wlile
question was, whether they should not then, by
Acts of Parliament, f9llow up what was clearly the
'principle ofTtlie.Cllnstittition.:
