Right ilonciurable Gertileman thought himself per-

Mr. CANNOTsG sail, that the
sCommittee bad now
soh:pitted to their consideration. the [moire of the
•proceediegs recommended in the present untortu-
mite St u men of the country. LI on one side the
gersoion was laid before thetas, upon tee
other a part of the vestion ; and thry were now io
determioe V, hat course it wotod be right to fallow nu-
tier all he cirumstai.ces The duly Wil,Ciftlesoleed
tar'aso tMeru was to pi oeide frrr s great emergency, by •
sept3lying the, rk-teet, which Led taken place in the
poster; for this purpose two methods had
been prop se i, altd their 3u ignuent *it TO be tX.el"-
6,,cd in dtei the prefereuee. Upon one hand it
was strrgssste,i that the delicielicy should be remedied,
by au act, which, t 1 it was net ae act et the Issgis-
lature,sdiffesed trout is, not ice being something tress,
but itt king 'something more. Upon the other,
'tisy were referred so precedents of an ancient date,
and called upon to form their decision opon grounds
which did riot appear to justify the proceeding re-
commend, d. Toe precedents which they had to
'giiide them were twteof them analagotes, and one
drr.ct aird here he thought it necessary to observe,
(141 he did nut feel booed to look to those
etinpl-s which were draWn tram an earlier and.
snore irtr,erlea state, of the Constitution, when he
it in his power to appeal to a period more recent
and perfe4A.. As to the former precedents, they
might in the a.therice of better, be resorted tteatialogy
might be adopted where immediate_applicatiOn was
sots ;tit for in vain ; but such not being the case at.
present, he should look to that_ instance which bore
in its eireerostauces the stroogest resernVance, and
approached in its period the nearest to that in which
t .ey now stood. The first precedent addaced was,
thrt -of the ' Act of lie,toration, in the circuni-.
sees' es of which he Could find no similitude to'the
present case ; by that an exiled Monarch was to
restored- to a situa;ion of which he bad been
unjeoly ekprived ; ls,t how could it be said that
any ri;ht had been withhal which they were
tilled non 10 'adjudicate ; that any siiidaeon had .
kserit oticred which they were called open to .
r4' ir ; was there now a Monarch to be restored.
If such was 11. e prClikailletli its
,which they were
placed, 11,, would allow that the Act of Restoration
was an-authority to which they could properly be
relerrrd'e but it it was clear that they had now no.
rigle to adjudicate, no t iolation to repair—if they
were not about to create a power, but to supply a
temporary defect in the exercise of it, surely that au-
thorny could not he considered as binding, whose
citcurnsfarces- could nor be proved to be similar.
When, therefere; the Right Hors, Gentleman said
that both Houses of Parliament acted in that in-
stance as he described, he in reality said nothing =re
than that they had done what- was necessary and no-
thing beyond it. With regard to the Revoluton,
it would be Well before they permitted their feel-
itigs to hurrytheut away; to consider what the ob-
Jett Was. Was it, he would ask, to take care of ,
Monarch ? Was it to insure his return to the
Government of the Country Or, was it not to
provide against that return, and set up safe-guards
and barriers as agiinst a hostile approach ? He did
sot wean to -deny that there might be some as-
sistance derived froth such cases, but then all the
'assistance that could be pretended 'to, was that
*.of analogy, and analogy derived under sercomsiances
direetly the reverse. •ir had been urged by the Right
'pion. Gent.' (\lr. Potlonlay), that nu a. tempt was
made to. procure the King's name to the Act.. Cer-'
ta.inly there was net ; for how could such an attempt.
-sucCeee a hen there was no Kree ? How could it suc-
ceed when the Executive was nor Merely suspended

there was the farther diaierilly "trt affixing the Great.
Si-3i, as at that very motile:it the Great Seal, from'
,accidental circurnstanc-s, was at the bottom of
the Thaaies. There was, no reason, however, for:

remarkable. The the-mutable Baronet had said;
that Parliament alone did not address Charles the
Second: but had diacreetly called to its assistance the
Lord. Mayor and Corporation of Loudon ; so that
he ascribed to them not only their own but a vir-
tual authority, and would have them dissolve at once
for the benefiferf advice and - assistance from the
Lord Mayor, t he Aldermee, aitd Common Colin-
hl. For his part, he did not see by what right
they. t he Iteptesentet hies' of the People, could se-
parate themselves from their Constituents, even
fitr an object so desirable as that of civic assistance:
The authority upon which, they should stow pro-
ceed was that which arose out of the necessity of the
.case, nor would he admit that a Parliament so bete-
rogeneoualy called together as that which invited
the Prince of Orange, ahotaid be (let rued more bind-
ing than the more regular and recent instance upon.
which .Minis'ets had founded their proposition.—

medicine of the Constitution its daily bread," adopt- .

had issued writs to call the Parliament ;' this was a

They had now a Pediament lull, tree, andunletter-

for the exigency that existed. Would the Ho-
t4ltahle Baronet to adopt his . precedents in titeir
fulleetetit, contend, that if the Prince of Wales
was to call a Parliament by writs, such an ad
would be just and. wise; no, for it would want the

' _them to consider the ditficuities of that time, to link
to_ the debates, and recoiled that they-oited to a'
majority of only two all the blesssitagg will: hthey
enjoyed as a nation. The Right Hon. Gentleman
would find in Burnett's account, that the

but should be considered in a state of derangement,
and supplied byer Regency, so that'the :in'ilogy was

Hon. Gentleman wished for an Address : he (Mr. ,'
Canni, g) lutist say, that no argument had hen
,orfercd to prove that they would exercise less power
by that mo e than by the one now proposedeo the,
House, or be likelyito entail less difficulties upon
the country. Thete.certaitily was one ground upon
which it Miglit be considered. better, and that was
supposing the right' in the Prince of Wales to the
Regency, a right which he did tee hear any otie con-
tend .thr, and which as it couldsnothe maintained,
could not justify them in resonitigad a pioceedingso
crowded-with embarrassments. He knew not even in
a balance of ditliculties how•they could better de-
cide, than by reverting to the, more recent and appli-
cable ease, by looking to the aelhority•ot the prece-
dent in Mr. Pitt's time, and the degree to which, at
that time, Parliament thought fit tohianctioe the
proceeding. Surely it would:be owned, that it no
great benefit resulted, a great evil must arise, front
a departure front recent precedent-; -it must-be ma-
nifest that it would twee tendency to conbaund all
order, and, abaudoning. succeeding
.Parliatnents to
the conflicting authorities of their predecessors,
make their decisions 'little more than so many im-
pulses of passion and inclination, sanctioned by the
inconsistency and contrariety of fornier cases. Upon
the subject of limitations, the only one that lie
thought could with propriety be made to accom-
pany the grant of those powers with which Parlia-
ment might invest the Prince of Wales, was that.
which related to the case of the perion of the King;
whatever 'caber. provisions might be thought ne-,
.cessary, and whatever difference there might be
with respect to their nature or extent, they could:all
have but one feeling upon this point. As to the o!her
limitation with which his Right Hon. Friend (Mr.
Perceval) had signified his intenthm of accompany-
ing tt, he could. not but think that if the Su7
veteign Power was conferred at all; these were
not nines in which • tt would-be right to adopt
any limitation. He did net think that they were
beand to follow any Act ..as a precedent through
all the circumstances . which .nitre and chance
might , alter ; and if lie. wee not convinced in this
-opinion before, the arguments of the Hue. Berhnet
would have 'been sufficient to decide him. It had
been asked, why; if such a power .was ever unneces-
sary, it should beithought expedienhto continue it I
He-was not °tie of those who disapproved of the de-
lay-of Ministers in bringing forward the question,_
on the contrary, they inid his entire ap; rob itiiin,for
the delicacy they manifested; and if his Right Hon.
Friend had said that procrastination would that be at-

he would willingly agree to defer to a 'still more
distant peiicel the performance of- tbat painful duty
which they were now to. exercise; taat not being
' the case, and they bait); engaged.in thedelic:ne and
melencholy task, he would not givehis vote over for

(Hear, kear.)

Lord TEMULE, in a speech of very great ability,
defended the precedent of 1.788, and therefore con-
curred in the proposition for., proceeding by way of
Bilk instead of by Address,
Lord JocaLrbz Supported the resolution.
• Mr. ADAM opposed it in' a speech of considerable
length.

The ATTORI4Ev-GENERAL contended that the
great distinttion between the present case and those
which had been quoted' by the Gentlemen (!ti the
other side of the House was, that Parliament was
pow sitting, and that in the othe'r cases it was not.
The precedent of 1788 appeared, to hint to be de-
cisive upon the subjet:r.
Sir S. ROMiLLY said, that the mode-of prOceed-
ing-bv gill appeared to him to' he inconsistent, and
calculated to produce delay, and at the same time
to establish a dangerous and •unconStitinional pre-

"ceflent.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAC denied that there was
apparent inconsistency in the proposition. 'tiSrlie-
tiler the two Houses directed the Chancellor,
,or the•
Regerr, to exercise a virtual authority, was one and
the same it hinz, hecan.e the power was substantially
derived from the Paeliameet ; the address was open
to.the same ohjeCtion.
Mr. HORN ER, opposed the resolution, 4pa :urged
strongly the precedents in the reign of Henry VI..
Mr. CHOKER complimented the latter Gentleman.
more on the ingenuity he had displived. on the
top:es 'lie had chosen, than his prudence in wholly
avoiding those teat constituted the chief difficulty
of the case—He has endeavoured to shew by
much learned irguinerit, that it W3S. not regu-
lar fore the Hous, ot Parliament to direct the
Chancellor to affix the Great Seal• to piteots, but
this %as not what it was to le-tva pio%ed. He
'should have proved that the course lie proposed, of
directing an ai-rent to direct the C!,ancellor would get
rid of the ditfictalry. - It even the Regent were ap-
pointed-by the address, the appointment would be
recomplete. The Courts of law would not re-
cognise his authority till it had received the sanc-
tion of that. Great Seal under which they, themselves
were acting, and the Regent's tirstact Must be that
-which"the Right Honourable Gentleman opposite
(Mr., Ponsonhy) ridiculed. as an absurdity- in the •
Chancellor of the Exchequer's proceedings, name-
ly, the signing the King's consent to his own
appointment, by. affixing the Great Seal to a com-
mission. So that in fact the'mude of proceeding by
Address only staved off the. difficulty—it removed
what was called the fiction one step farther ; bUt that
fiction sooner or later the Hon. Gentleinarehad riot
slieWn how it was possible to avoid. The Wm; Gen-.
tleman dwelt much on the precedents in the early and
in the latter parts of Henry the Sixtlf.s reign. He
admitted them to be good ; but these very prece-
dents which thd Honourable Gentle Man referred to'
as constitutional, contained in terms that very fiction
which the Right
_Honourable Gentleman, Mr. Prin-
•Sonby, had characterised by the names of ebitirdity,
imposture, . and frond. The Right Honourable
Gentleman had said, what shalt We, 'by affit.:h,g
the Great Seal, make the King say, as it were,
I am sane so far as to 'admit my insanity.
I am coinpetent to admit my incompetency, what
a gross and monstrous fiction it is to endeavour
to supply a defect in the royal authority by that
very au hority which you presume to be defi-
cient: Undoubtedly 'the Right Honourable Gen-
tleman had argued these points with great elo-
quence e but -he had not been able 10 shew that
-all his ridicule did not equally apply to his own case,
when, after the dddress, the Regent '.would have
to make use of the Great Seal. But the precedents
granted and relied upon by,"the Honourable Gen-
Ileman were direelly in contradiCtion to his Right
Honour:11)1e Friend, and involvedpreoisely the saree-
fietion. In the early, parts of the King'sfreign the.
Chancellor affixes the Great Seal to Commissions
for clang- Parliaments and appointing Regents,
which set forth, in the King's own name, his in-
competency on the score of infancy. The deficiency
of power in the
:king to do any at is admitted in the
very instrument in' which, nominally, he perform's
tnost important duty. This precedent, then, would
fall under the ;ridicule of the Right' Hbnourable.
Gentleman. What, are the precedents of the latter
end of that reign, referred to by the Honourable
Gentleman, still stronger, still more in point ?
The King being deranged in his intellect, the Houses
of Parliament think fit to appoint his son to, be Re-
gent (when he shall become of age), they do it by
Act of Parliament assented to by the King's Com-
mission, and 'the same day the Great Seal -is
put to letters patent, running in'. these words :
" We Henry, by the Grace of God, Bcc. &c.
taking into consideration the infirmity with
which it has pleased God to of lta us, , and
that it would be injurious to our person, and
Would-delay the speedy- recovery of our health, if we-
weie personally to attend,lo the affdirs tN the realm,
and .reposing confidence, &c. in our eldest son Ed-
ward, do, by and :with the advice and consent of
,Parliament, appoint him Protector of my kingdom,
Jo exercise his power according td the tenor and
provisions of an 'Act of the said Parliament made
this day."
_ _ _

Can any precedent be mare stronOty in point than
hi 3, and can any precedent involve a greater fiction ?
Will the Right HonourableGentleman deny that this
is making insanity sane, and incompetency compe-
tent`? Yet iris the precedent which ►►ts Honourable
•Friend admits to be sound and constitutional. How
alter that .adtnission the Hon. Gentleman could per.
sist Um 'his opinion that the proceeuing by Bill was
unconstitutional, he could not guess. The distinc-
tions the Hon. Gentleman matte between the cases
-was to be sure somewhat extraordinary. WV (be says)
•woutd direct the Chancellor to affix the Great Seal,
and in the case of Henry VI. he did it on his
own respousibiiiiy. The Hon. Gentleman thinks
it would be betier that ,the Chancellor should do
this important duty of his own mere motion, than
with the advice of both Houses of Parliament.—
he migh t• come down, says the Hon. Gentleman; af-
terwards, to the Parliament to indmnify him ; this
&flies, tip 111 C whole' argument, for the Chancellor

may--as well have flui sanction of -Parliament befor
as its indemnity alter. The course we would proceed
in does not chfter from the lion.Gent.'s in principle,
he would allow the Chancellor to act and come af-
terwards for indemnity, we direct the Chancellor to.
act, and thus as it Were anticipate the indemnity,—l-
- Hon. Member then adverted to the Revolot ion;
a case by no means piraty, but one the analogies.
of which were consistent with the course now re'
commended. He observed, that in replying to one
point of this precedent,_which bad been ably put by
his Right Hon. Friend below him (Mr. Canning);
and by tie
_Noble Lord opposite --(Temple), the.
Honourable -Gentleman had hardly de/It fairly;
as he had not quoted the whale Statement of
the precedent, which was ditectly what -bad beet
originally represented and diametrically opposite tTi.
what the Hon. Getitlinan represented it to be.
concluded by saying, that .1-1)n, Gentlemen opposite
had shevya that the proceeding Bill, was in some
.degree, irregular ; but they had shrunk- from thts
challenge which they bad received, to chew how
they could remove the irre;_,Tutarity—the difficulty
Mr.Croler thought it was notin this form nor io that,
but in the nature of the c-se; in the proceeding
which be suppurted, the difficulty was maje as lit
as possible in that recommended tr.(4: the Gala
,side, tt seemed to him to be rendered more COMpli-cated. by the addition of another sisp to the process.
He must therefore adhere to the precedent of 1788,
not withstanding the d;fficuity.that tl invole2.l, until
the Hon. Gentlemen opposite should be plessed to
explaui by what inechaniim, he had almost said by
what rnagic,;they intended to remove the still grater
chtlicult,es that their proceedings incurred.

Mr. WHLTBREAD left :that the present was a mo-
mentous- ctisis.- The: House dicil not, in his opi-
nion, sufficiemly coniemplate it. With lesi;ect to
the prtcetient of pass on which the Right Hon,:
Gelittenian so much t3lied, it night be Tecoliect-
cd that' the Bill wp.s stopped in its progress thwugh
the House of Lord,,, for his Majesty got betitr is
the interval, and happily for the country, was le-
stowd to the exercise of his lat6lties. The Hon.
Gentleman col4etided that in the Bill was to be
foand nothing but
_complexity and absurdity, not
so w the Address. The object was to restrain
'the Pierogatives of the Crown, arid con.equeotly tt'.)
prevent the prufiet exercise of the functions of the.
Government. He did not think that it was-a proper
return tor the dignified conduct of the Royai Per-1
son, who had kept himself on all occasions NVittt
a becoming reserve. Was it a proper mode of
providing for the establiShment of the Sovereign
Power and State, by commencing with unusual re-
strictions ? What was the office of Regent ? He
held U. as the trustee of. an estate, and was bound
to lake care that. he did not impair the ROyal
,Authority.: 'The RtZlit Honourable .Gentlentan
Mr.Cannin) hadttalked about the Great 'Stial
.being". lost at the Revolution ; he seemed to tar-
get that that was not the only time it was missing.
In. 1,784 some person ran away with it, but au
artificer was found who ri•.'e one in it few hottrs.
With respect to the care of his Majesty, aid tiny
one suspect that a more affee-tion'ate or tender b,:ait
existed (save one) ex-:;pt the Princeot Wales"? His
delicate and nie-> sense of propriety induced hint
rather 'so that the guardiabship of his Majesty
be confided to the Queen. He was stopi e.I .
the Cammittee from asking a question which he
would now repeat. He would ask who sent for "a
certain Physician to attend his Majesty ? I-lad any
particutar person that guardianship which to -Ibv
Prince of Wales they so pertinaciously deity ? These
were, questions which demanded answers, l'he
HOD. Gentleman coaciuded with expressing himself
most strongly in favour of the Address.

Lord CASTLERE4GA would not- trespass on the
patience of the House at so late an' hour.
wished:only briefly to 'state the grounds of the of
nion
(which he
.felt called upon to delivel=;. on
:question the most delicate, and underrcircumstatices-
the Most arduous. Under such circumstances he
was decidedly of opinion, th3t the House sinin4
prpceed by a Bill, with a view constitutionally to
meet the exigencies.ot the moment. In the two
Houses of Parliament alone, resided the power of
providing for such an emergency ; and that power
could only grow out of, !and be justified by the ne-
'cessity of the case. Od the Estates of the Itealto
not only.devolves the duty, but the responsibility of
supplying the present melancholy defect in the
functions of the executive authority.
[We regreiextremely.that we have not room to insert the
renuinder of the Noble Lord's very able Speech.]
Several Nlembeo then rose to speak, but the cry. of Ques-
tion was so general and reiterated, that the Gallery was or-
dered to be cleared, and the House. divided on the motion of
the Chancellor of the Llxchequer,
Ayes, 269.--Noes, isj. —Majority, tie:.
