ORDERS IN COUNCIL.

Gen. GASCOIGNE
,seeing an Hon. and Learhed
Gentleman in his place, wished to ask him,' whe-
ther; in the -present state of the Government, he
intended "to persevere in his motion for a general
discussion of.the merits of the Orders in Council
oh Tuesday.next ?
Mr. 131touchAm replied, that he had no inten-
tion of postponing it, and that he felt no difficulty
on 'the subject, from
.the existing state of the
Government, as, it appeared to him;. that if he put
off the consideratiOn of this important question,
until all the existing inconi•eniences were re-
moved, the postponement might be fatal to the
commerce of the country. If he consented to any
delay, it could be only from Tuesday to Thursday,
in order to give an opportunity for the printing of
the Evillence.

Mr. ROSE, adverting to the voluminous nature'
of the evidence, amounting to' 7 or 800', folio
-
pages, and the then attendance of the Members
on the Committee, seldom exceeding six or seven,-
put it to the- Hon. and Learned Gentleman, and
the House, whether it would be possible'to go
so soon into the investigation of a subject of
such vital importance to the_tmpife
Mr. BROUGHAM observed, that 5 or 600 pages
of the 'evidence had already been printed ; and
that f 1.% the rest of the witnesses were ,to exa-
mined' to-night, the remaining part of the evi-
dence- would speedily be in the possession of the
Members. • -

Mr. ItosE repeated his conviction, that if the
House went into the consideration of the subject
on Tuesday, or even, on Thursday, they would do
so without having had a previous opportunity of
reading the minutes of evidence.

COMMITTEE OF ways AND :10ANS.
The House having resolved itself into:.a Com-
mittee of Ways and illeanS,
Mr. W. POLE. rose to move for leave to bring
in a Bill to continue the Irish Cu Ims.. • 'lie said;
he felt the objection which had been 'urged the
other evening,' against bringing forward any new
measure A.,4fti.e- the GoVernment remained kn its
present
.state. With regard hoWeVer to the pre-
sent Measure, he did not think there
.could be
any objeetiOn,•as it xya' part of the current busi-
,ness;af the year; and the present existing duties '
of Customs in Ireland which were annually voted,
would expire on t:'e .Ist July.
. Sir J: -NEwrowr wiShed to Call theattention of
-the Houseto .the Onger that might follow from
establishing, it as a prmciple„that supplies should
be proposed during the abeyance of the responsi-
ble Government, and was desirous that so dan-
gerous a precedent should be avoided. - .
, Mr. W. POLE said, that in the situation in
which he was placed, he should have been guilty
of a great neglect of duty if he had not brought
this subject before the House. The duties of cus-
toms in Ireland, amounting to above two millions
and a half, formed a part. of the consolidated fmld,
appropriated for the 'payment of the interest of,
the national debt ; if, therefore, he, bad not
brought forward this motion he should have left
the public creditor without any security, and throw:
the whole financial affairs of the country into con-
fusion. In his :opinion it would be. much better if
these duties, were put upon the same footing'
that they were in England; instead of being voted
annually, and in this opinion he, believed be con-
eurredwith the Right Hon. Baronet, but as the
Case Stood, he felt it to be his duty to 'submit the
Resolution he proposed to the House...
Sir JQHi ,Nr.wroßT said that he ,entirely con-
curred with the. Right Hon. Gentleman in the ne-
cessity of the motion, and merely wished to guard
the House against the, practice of introducing a'
.financial Measure as a mere routine business, , •
Colonel BASTitRD thought that it was the duty
of the House to -know hew the country stood, with
respect to an Administration, hefiire any financial
measure was agreed to 5. because the next Govern-,
meat might perhaps devise means' for alleviating
the burdens of the people. He was of opin:ion,
that the'House ought to resolve itself into -a Com-
mittee on the state of the Nation, which was cer-
tainly most perilous, with a view
,both to' our do-
mestic and to our foreign situation.
-The Resolution was then agreed'to, and the re-
portwas skrdeed to be received on Friday.
Mr. W. POLE brought up : the Bill for raising
1,590,0001. by way of annuity for the, service of
Ireland. -Read a first, and ordered to -be read a
'eeoncl time on Wednesday: -
,the motion of Sir T. TURTON, the COM-
mittee on the Publicans and the Manure
Carriage Bill, were 'postponed until to-morrow
se'nnight,
ADMINISMANION.

Mr. CANNING roe, and spoke to tLe following
effect •

• .
(..‘ 'lt'll.. Speaker—Having been the channel of
comm,nicating• to the- House, on Monday last,
the circumstance that a Noble Friend of mine, the
Marquis *elksley, had on that day,, received an=.
thority from his Royal }Ugliness the Prince Re-
gent to proceed to the formation of a'New,Admi-
nistration,.l think it incumbent on ine to state
(being in possession of the fact)., that my Noble
Friend, this morning, resigned the authority which
be had received, into the hands of his Royal High-'
ness. I wish to accompany this
,statement with
no observations, except to deprecate with the ut-
most earnestness, all discussion, which ,can be pro-
ductive of no ,good, but. which may lead. to much
mischief,.. by kindling animosities which are not
wanting to increase the difficulties in which the
country is placed at the present moment. But,
Sir, being in possession of the *fact, and having
been the channel of the former communication, I
should have thought Myself guilty of something
like delusion, -had I not stated that which I have
just done."
Mr. MARTIN,. after what had fallen from the
Right' Hon. Genticulan,,assurcd the House, that
nothing should proceed from him calculated to
embarrass any arraugements' which might laere7
after be wade. But, as a Member a the House

L ON D
THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 1812.

Government this morning received Dispatches
from Lord WELLINGTON, dated Fuente Guinaldo,
the 20th" ult. which state, that, nu movement of
importance had taken place, either of the Allied
or the French Army.

It is some satisfaction to us, that though .we
have not yet the pleasure of informing our Readers
that an Administration has been 'formed, yet, that
in all the statements which We have submitted to
them during the various negociations which have
taken place, we have never deceived them, and like
some of our Competitors, poured forth every idleru-
mour that occurred. If we may presume to say so,we
heartily sympathize in the feelings of the PRINCE
REGENT, Who has done all-that can be required of.
him, in order to conciliate adverse Parties, and to
settle matters into a vigorous Government, and
-who has had the mortification of finding* his graci-
ous intentions -thwarted by Motives of pique or
ambition :—Vire -were- iinxious to see all ani-.
moSities buried, 'all captious objections' sub-
dued, and every feeling of. a -personal nature
lost in a general zeal to promote ,the interests of
the Country. Our Readers will see by the pro-
ceedings-in the two Rouses yesterday, an abstract
of which we gave in part of our impressions last
night, that -the opposition to the PRINCE RE-
GENT'S wishes is chiefly, if not entirely, imputable
to what is called the Opposition Party. It seems,
•
evident that, they wanted to come into, of-
fice with an acendancy of power which it
was impossible: .to suppose 'that the Marquis
WE,LLIISI.EY, to whom the PAIN en bud entrust-
ed the measure of forming a new Administra-
tion, would assent to. • But, to confine our at
tention to the state of affiaiis. inun'ediatisly before
us: -It, apPears that the Marquis WELLESLEX,'
Having in vain attempted to overcome the scru-
ples; or satisfy the 'dernand, of the, Opposition
leaders, has at length resigned his Commiision;
and that'the PRINCE has' now submitted the whole-
power of forming an Administration to EarlAt° IRA.
The public spirit and rectitude of this.: Nobleman,
as well as his political experience, to say nothing
of his long attaciatnent to the PRINCE, amply jus-
tify the confidence that, is placed in him. The af-
fability of his manners too, which, even in trans-
actions of this hi ,h nature, is of no small lin-
portance, will greatly conduce- to bring matters
into an amicable train. As the Marquis WELLES-
LEY, though he resigned a commission Which he
found it impossible to carry into.etfect, has by no
means manifested ally repugnance_ to office, but
on the contrary, has shewn a willingness to
co-operate with Lord MOIRA, even with Sll-
bordinate authority, we still indulge a hope,

often .its tve httVe been disappointed on -014
most interesthig subject, that the Ea will be ,
to avail himself of the talents of the Mttrquis 'n
Mr2CAtiNrso,,and that Lord LIVERPO©L and his
friends will not be fould to iniirate the conduct'
of the Oppositionlcaders,. hut will let every poiu
of personal feeling, and temporary policy give,
'way to a sense of what-is due to the PRINCE RE
GEN thcwishes And expectations of the people
at large, aneito the interests of the Empire. We ar
thv more disposed. to rely u,'Lion• the efforts o;
14r1lioirtA on this truly interesting and 'import-4
ant business, 'as his Lordship signified yesterday his
belief, that misapprehensions rather than essential
principles had hitherto prevailed, and that he trust--.
ed, that everything vvould forthwith be in a Proper.
