ADJOURNMENT.

T&;°' CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
Said, lie had thought it his duty, on various
.occa.
sions,' to submit Motions of Adjournment,
,which
he was aware must be produCtiVe of great inconve-
nience both to .the SP \KER, and to-the Members
of the House, for which the House would do, him
the justice to believe -he felt great regret. The
HouSe would alki.-do.him- the justice to
.believe,
that he felt extreme concern at having . found it
his duty to withhold from the House, at the time,
a communication- of the motives which induced
-him to . make these Motions. He was thank-
ful,' he said;; to -the-House for the indulgence which,
he had experienced ; he wt's also . thankftil for
giving, him, ctedit f6r' being- aauated by. motives
which appeared .to him 'obviously to' 'justify that
conduit. He -could not but-• rejoice, and, if he
might be perMitted to say so,_ he -thought the House •
had displayed its accustomed wisdom and, disereiiOn
not, calling-upon him to disclose the •prtidenii;a-
and precautionary
.inntives_ wtrich operated on his
-mind, .and aduated his conduo..
..t.Tnder these cir;
cumstances,:there.appeared to •him• no alternative,
and.at present he had ai satisfaetion.in.acithos.viedg-
ing,' that he entertained cOnsiderable doubts :how.
far those considerations would justify niAk,
ing a.inotionto a similar, effed ; but--with him, 'in
such .a Situation, to doubt Was to decide, He was
sure he should-have vjOlateti lttis Own- -en'se:ofhis,
duty, an4.l have- done injustice to
in
feelings of
the - House if he ._had not aEti 'the manner
he had done. He. -was , Upon all oceaSioni.' and
particularly under the present_ circuinstdoce.i. on_
willing to forego the opilortunity of reSOrting
to the deliheratave wi4dorn of Parliament-;• but
thougfi 'he was convinced that' such a reference
would not be necessary` on the present
.occasion, yet
as there might be a bare possibility of- it, .he -was
induced to recommend to the House to Concur_in the
Motion; with which` lie should conclude, that .the
Htittg6'.sliOuld, at. its rising, adjourn till Tuesday.
171e4t 1(11.)A-he hoped on 'that daY he Should not be
• 'l.
disappi3:nted- in his expealation of being enabled to
!neve a' further 'adjournment to•the :zBth, whe'n he
trusted that the House would proceed on public bu 7.
,laws. He then moved that the House should ad-
journ to Tuesday, next.

Mr..janSsr!id he did :not mean: to deny that
His Majesty"s Ministers were deserving of, confi,
dence, but he, would not consent to
,repose in them
LlDpiicit confiOence, as he considered it. his duty as
a Meir4io of._Pat'lianient to inquire and discuss.—
These 'sfltort_ Adjournments had induced an effeA on
-the:public mind, and had caused an alarm which,:
howeverunfounded it might be, yet he thought it
called upon His Majesty's Ministers to explain-. the
Lnotiv,estlyhichhadaauated their condua, and par.:
titular s' Motion for a shoit.AdjournMent
had nOvir been brought forward, when it had been
expeded'irom the declaration of the Right. Hon.

thought the CountrY. would not be satisfied if the
reasons for these frequent AdjouroMeiltS were not
