spective Stages : —among which the Duke of Yo R K'S Estate

Th On the Que
1-stion for the third reading of the Mutiny Bill,
e Duke NORFOLK rose, and made sonic observations
relative to certain Provisinos which had been introduced into
the Bill, the died of which, and more especially their
introductisn into a Bill such as that under considera-
tion, he highly disapproved. The Povons to whi
he alluded, went to authorize the colleetironisi of tolls upon the
passage of Army Waggons, &c. over certain bridges. Having
stated his grounds of objection to such a regulation, in some
detail, the Noble Duke observed, that the principle upon
which it proceeded was a novel one, with a reference to Bills
of a similar description of that before their Lordships. His
interference was guided by,no other motive than a view. to.
the public service. 'Mutiny Bills may be said to be rz...gular
annual Bills since the esta6lislintent of a standing Army, and
were necessarily so, as long as that eStablishment conti-
nued. He did not then move to expunge the provisions in

INSURRECTION IN DUBLIN.
-
Sir 301 IN LP RO
his Notice to TTSLEY rose in pursuance of
call the attention of the House to a
subjed which was by no means new to them : it
dentall
• was one which had been frequently discussed inci-
y, and whenever it had been so discussed,
• there had always appealed to him to be a great and
material difference of opinion, not only among the
Members of that House, but even among the Mini-
. stets, upon the question, where the blame rested
with regard to the transadions in Dublin on the 23d
of July, for that blame existed some where had
hardly ever been denied. It was not extraordinary
if Ministers, with their superior means of informa-
tion, should have been unable to come to any de-
cided opinion upon the subjed, that other Members
of that House should feel •a considerable degree of
doubt upon it ; he was therefore sure that he should
stand justified to the House in bringing for Ward a
motion, the nbjed of which w.
as obtain in.
formation which was nearly conneCted with the
charaEler of the Irish Government, and which
very materially affeded the dearest interest of the
that led the Honourable
irish People. He was not
aware of the motives
Admiral (13tR.icF.LEY) to
decline making the Motion of which h had
notice; whatever the motives of thee for
given
ourable'
Admiral were, he was sure they were
hoirourable
ones, but he felt himself called upon to bring for.
ward this subjea upon a large scale, so that it might
-Qundergo a full and complete investigation. When
uestions relating to Ireland were formerly brought
forward in that House, the Answer constantiy given
was, that theSubjed was not within the cognizance
of that House, because Ireland had a Parliament
of her own to watch over her Interests.-
Since the Union had taken answer could not be place, however, that
given. In order that that
great and important measure should take place, the
Members of the Irish Parliament had made very
great sacrifices, and he hoped thae dutt of
the United Parliament would shewt them that they
had not made these sacrifices in vain. He hoped
that no Member of the British Parliament had given
his vote for the Union, and fur depriving Ireland
of her local Parliament, without considering well
the duties which he took upon himself, to watch
over the interests and happiness of Ireland with as
much care and diligence as on those of any other
Part of the United Kingdom. While the Parlia-
ment of Ireland sat, its -attention, not being dis-
traded by considerations of Foreign politics, was
diretted solely to the internal improvement and
happiness of Ireland; but now that the Parliament of the two Countries were merged into one,
and
that the attention of Parliament must be directed
not only to local considerations, bur to the general
concerns of the Empire, he hoped they would prove
by their condud, that I ;
toe.r motive in voting for
the Union was not to deprive the Irish Parliament
of its power, but to promote the happiness and
