Would oppcise the Motion, and not only would he
oppose the metion, but if the House should so far
detierethe principles of theConstllution i 4 to accede
to It he.should,e still think it necessary to propose
that :a C.ornmittee sheuld heappointed'toinqu're in-

and to report thereon trethe House on both
,t hese
questions he was deierrnined,, and determined by .a
sense of duty, oely, to take- the sense,of the FlOuse.
Sir FaaNcts BURDETT agreed in many points with
the last speaker. Feeling, as he did, all the deli-
cacy of the subje& he should speak on it With- all
that impartiality which became him as. a Member
-of that House. Whaever he might (eel for the
sofferings of the King,
,he could not give up the
interests Of the country to d&icacy, dud suffer what.
ought never to have been left undecided at all,, but
which had been left so for a month, to be left for
a still longer period in a state of uncertainty, with-
out oppesition. A King they must have—but how
to make a King he did not know. He knew of no
precedent that came at all in point, except the great
precedent 'of 1688, when, in consequence of" the
violation of the Constitution, the. great contraEt'be-
tween 'the King and the People by James IL the
Patliament took upoe themselves to supply the de-
ficiency; It had then been decided, that. the tw'o
Hotises had a right to appyint a person to exercise
the fun aions of Royalty. He thought the Right
•Hon. Gentleinan had clearly shewn - that the Privy
Council had assumed powers which did not belong
to them, and powers which, it was not, perhaps,
expedient-for them to exercise. What had occurred
was not sufficient to form the ground of a Parlia-
mentary" proceeding, as the evidence was of such a
description that it would not'be received in a com-
mon Court of Justice. Every are' kneW that such
questions might be put, by
,interested perss, as
wbuld be almost certain of produ6,ng the answers
desired by the party. His Majesty's Ministers (with-
out impeaching, their personal veracity) were. the
last persons whO ought to have examined the Phy-
sicians. If they adjourned as proposed, and he should
be asked why they so adjeurned, ,he should be at a
loss what answer to make. He knew nor why the H
public should again he' left without that provision
which ought to havebeen made in the first instance. '
Independent of the affliction which now unfortu-
nately presses heavy on the King, the, people had
long been deprived of the benefit of execotive Mki•
jesty. Cut off from his subjedts by Ministers, he
was no longer to be seen.
.His infirmities were Made
a.barrier between him and his people, and petition-
ing: the King had become a , mere farce. The use
Which had. been. made of the word " delicacy,"' he
,contended, was. in the highest degree absurd. De-
licacy on most occasions was certainly very desirable;
bet in the concerns of a great nation there were ob-
jets of more importance to attend to. • Delicacy
was very well at tea-table, but he had often ob-
'served in private life that delicacy," was but ano-
ther name for " roguery." The, law of the land'got
over delicacy in some,instances. At the accouche-
ment of ,a..Q.eeen,. for instance; persons were em-
ployed to atend..the birth of the Royal infant, in a
mariner which, in benirnorelife, would be thought
indelicate. The Constitution knew nothing of the
Monarch's infirmity. .The precedent of 1788 lie
did not approve of, as be thought it had analogy
without reason. But when Ministers, taking the
pioCeedings of 1788 as a precedent., only took Atch
parts. of them as they could'square to their own
vieeet, be could perceive in their conduct that pure.
disinterested anxiety for the public good to which
they 'laid claim. He then proceededio contrast the,
state of things at that period with the present situ 7,
ation of the country. The cle,nge he, spoke of as
most unfortunate. He concluded, asking the House
if it would he well for them' to .separate, atter
month of 'anarchy, and tell the Public that, out of
delicacy,- they had eat performed their duty
cGeneral MATHEilkopposed the 'adjournment.
Lord MILTON thought, as the country might be
said :it present to be inea state of republicanism, it
could not be too soon restored to that form of Go-
Yernment which he so much prized,' a monarchy.
He should•therefore oppose the motion for a further
adjournment fora fortnight.
Sir T. TuirroN 'also opposed, the adjournment for
so long a period. .
,Mr. C. 'W. WYNNE had objeEted, on their for.-
der meeting, to an adjournment, without first. as-
scertaining the nature of his Majesty's malady by a
Committee. No other information could be so sa-
tisfaaory. He then took a view of the roceedings
in 1788,, 180 J, and 1804, on. the occasion of his
Maiesty's indisposition. The .situation of things
was now very. slifferent. The incapacity of his
Majesty was recorded on their Journals, and
no authority exited to send- a single regiment
to reinforce our army in Portugal if necessary.
He did not say Gentlemen would not take upon
themselves that responsibility; but he believed they
had no eat hority so to do without the King's Com-
mandi , The Physicians ought to, be examined by
them. All they asked was to be put in a situation
to take styli measures as might-hereafter appear nee
cessary. Their proceedings 'could not retard the
King's recovery, as they. could not possibly reach his
ear. No answers had been given to the questions
put to Ministers on this subject. No.satisiaetory
ground had been assigned for the mot . His duty
to his Country. and to his King. imperiously called
him, to seek the best meansof ascertaining the nature
of his Majesty's malady as early as possible. •
Mr. B. BirrnultiT said,. he rose in consequence of
*hat had fallen froM the Hon. Gentleman" who had
. inst sat_dovv.n. When, in the case to which that
Hon. Gentletrlanalluded, the Members upon. the
Opposition benehes moved for a Committee, they
were immediately stopped by the voice of the
House,, ueon, no other ground 'that he' could con-
ceive than the notoriety that. his Majesty was in
such a state of convalescence as rendered any pro-.
ceedings unnecessary. Whatever other Obje6tion
might tie made, thiS circumstance was -surely. ;an
ans:Ner.,,to the observation, that the House should
insmediately take some proceedings. ou the incapki-
. ty of ,his Majesty being declared. It was'also to be
remembered, that the PhysicianS did 'not, upon the
fortner occasion, as they did upon the present,' sig-
nify that his Majesty was,in a state of, progressive.
'amendment. It was then acase new so tt e cbirn-
try, new to. the Royal obpet of it, not fortified by
the same grounds of hope or the same advantageS
of experience. The Physicians could now calculate
upon the chances of amendment with 'greater pro:
bability than before, and under such 'superior ad:.

•
•
vantages bad happily pronounced a faveuribie'opi-
riion. He (Mr.. B.) for one, was willing to give
credit to his Majesty's Ministers for 'What they had
stated, and i6acquiesce in the further ~fjournrilent
whin!) they had proposed. But it had been said,
that nothing short of Parliamentary Inquiry should
satisfy the House. • He did 'not see why. so; nor.
Could he Gen-
tleman.colfeCi from the' rea,pning ,of the
who preceded lifor, upon what ground they.
Should be deterred froM the liberty .e4.4odgittg upon.
that; as' well as upon every other sulzject; and of
consideting whether-it would be more conducive to,
the public convenience to adopt Parliamentary In,
-quiry'or to. be satisfied with scitne other course. He
thought it' was perfeatly. competent to them to de-
cide'%v hat step they should take, or whether they
sh'onld take any. But the examination of the Phy-
sicians was taken froM the evidence of the Privy
Council ; still that was no objection ; for why might
he not'now look to•the opinion of the Physicians,
delivered.uPon oath before the Privy Council, when
he i''as -permitted to look to the opinion of the
Chancellor of .the Exchequer the . other day ? In
the case alluded to by the Hon. gentleman, the
adjournment tdok'place upon the apse dixit of the
Minister, upon; the assertions and allegations of a
Noble 14rd in one House, and a Right Hon. Gen-

tlenian in another, and there was this remarkable
circumstance to beobserVed, that at that tithe al Bill
was in its progress through the House of Lords to
supply the deficiency in the Executive, notwith-
standing which, the adjournment Was carried upon
the statement of Ministers ;
,but now there, was
'no Bill to be interrupted, there was no proceeding
to be checked, and it was not barely upon the as-
Sere.ons of Ministers they were called upon to agree
'to the present motion. • It had been doubted who-.
diet the Privy Conned could, under the peseta cir-
cumstances, be recegnised'as suob, considering that
'here' was no executive, ,at 'least none:exercising' its
:functions at thepresent moment ; but, were there
not Courts oijustice sit ting, and would, their autho-
rity be doubted'? With respect to the Privy Coun-
cil, he would just allow-them. as much weight as,
they were entitled to from their own reasonable.'
ness, and nothing farther; Undoubtedly the House
Could not be suppoSed to he bound by
nr hem. ;' but"
when they were assembled' to concert measures
.for
the public good, he'Could not disapprove in any way:
of their 'meeting, however he might :lament the
circumstances:that rendered• it exp}dient. BUt the
Hon. Gentleman had asked what differende there
was in point of convenience, between an examina-
tion of tf4e PhySioiankby the' Privy Council, and an
examination by a'Comnlittee•of the House. of Com-
mono. The difference was obvious; . Might not a

not altogether delicate; and go into such minutia
of investigatiorr and cross questioning, as had been
much better avoided; in snort, might. it not have
been made a very different proceeding from that ,
which had taken place ? The dehcady to which .he
added, was not of that kind which had been cen-
sured by an Hon: Baronet-; it had nothing in it
which an independent 'mind need be ashamed to
avow.. .The Pnysiciabs had given theM every rea-
son to hope, that, notwith-tanding • the advanced
age of his Maje4ty,va complete recovery would take
place, at no distant period; and it "was no fanciful
delicacy' to recommend to the House, that, with
such 'a prospect before them, they wouldforhear
from adopting any measure 'which would appear to
' carry on air of watching and stispicion. - They were
certainly. in a Situation of great difficulty, but were
not driven to the 'necessity of manifesting such • a
spirit. 'Upon all these grounds, the same that had
induced him to vote' with the majority upon the for-
titer night, he should vote upon that night also,' for
an adjournment to. that day fortnight. .
Mr. ADAM said, that as. he thought he might,
with periect consistency, haveevoted for an adjourn-
ment upon that day fortnight, and yet me against
an adjournment 'at the present moment, he wished
to say a leW words. He was anxious, in common
with the House, that that course should be taken
:which 'wit's best calculated to conduce to the public
advantage, at_ the same time that it was least likely
to interfere with his Majesty's feelings. , As to: the
subject alluded to by the Hon. Baronet behind him,
he would say-that delicacy should operate:to a cer-. •
taro extent ; but when the necessity 'was too strong,
it should be obeyed: For his ,part, he saw a very
great d flerence between the present case and that
on which they had 'decided but a fortnight before.—
When the Right Hon. ,Gentleman .(the Chancellor
of the EAhequet) stated to the House the result of
his interview with- the .Physkians, ,the House had
then an evidence before them ; it had such evidence
as had satistiedParliainent, when Lord Thurlow'and.
Mr. Pitt made the Communications, it was. evidence
and
by precedent, 'and enforced by the. graVest
awful responsibility; .: But upon, the present oc-
casion- the Right Honourable Gentleman—did not
' collie forward as he had upon the former ; heilad
had recourse to the expedient of Mr. Pitt, in 1788,
having called a Privy Council universally, without
any view to party' or connection. .The evidence
taken' before such a Council was evidence taken
alicurde, not before themselves, not in the presence
of the House, nor. of any . one ,delegated by the
n House;
.it was not 'such as they could found any
proceeding upon. 'He "allowed that the Privy Colin-
.cil • was a body of 'great resp(xlability; he :did,' not
ineanto discuss whether they were rightly convened
or nee, biit'he would say that the Privy Connell was
not the House of CoMmons, and therefore that the
Hotr;e of • Com Mons would not be justified in pro-'
teeding upon evidence taken before it, unless indeed.
they were lo- 'resolve upon ' a motion ogled/1,4 to
adopt 'and appropriate such evidence. Mr. Pitt, had
moved for a Committee to do what—to examine
into the state Of his Majesty's health, and this was
the ground upon which he. did it, that be .Might
give to the HoUse evidence belonging to the lionse,
and not • taken from a. body over whom it had no
contioul, and with 'whom. it had no connection. It
the Right Honourable Gent kitten (the Chancellor
of the* Exchequer) had'moVed tor an adjournment
to Mondayupon an enderstandingthat a Cointnit ice
should thenbe-appoirifeu to inquire info the state of
his Majesty's', health, he would so far have Conform.:
'ed to ttre preeedent'of t08$;. the business of such
a. Committee would not be- to consider what step
should be taken, but merely in what state the health
of his Majesty continued, and. perhaps the result of
their inquiry would be such as to induce him to
agree to an adjournment `or a more distant period.

Then they vitould 'be able'to judge of the evidenCe
which. now they could not, for ,there was no.evi:.
derice,properly,before them. it had been said that
Many questions might be'put in a Committee of qie
HouSe of, copmona ',which it wiluld-be better to
avoid but so long as, it was ,true that Parliament
should see with its own eyes, and hear with its own
ears. so- long would: it be_ necessary to have recourse
to its own evidence; and be decided by it alone.—
Besides, such an objedion Would make against all
investigations by the lioue of Cotitotons. Where.
Members permitted.themselVes to be diverted from
their duty by any feelings whatsoever, their delicacy
might be branded 'by any name or nickname whiCh
any one might,chuse to call it. He was aware that
objethans had been urged against investigation by
that House, but although there were disatliantages
attending it, the
_right way tp pr nounce upon it
was, to look at its advantages too, arid decide by a
•proper estimate of
.both. No person could be more
. sorry than he Wonld 'to hear any question asked.
which might be hiwtul to the Royal feelings, yet.
he never would be petSuadc...d to.admit that tlw PUS:.
sibility of -such a question being put ~hould be cod:
sidered as an argument against tie efficacy of Pat•
liamentary Inquiry. The true course of the Corn.i•
mittee would be, to say nothing as to what
.shotild•
be done, but to examine into facts alone. They.
were acting under the pressure of, 'a dire necessity iii
consequence of` the visitation which it had pleased
Providence to tofl;Ct Upon an- old, an amiable, and
beloved Monarch, and they
,should be careful. to pr,,-
ceed according to reason and Parliamentary prece-
dent. If ever there was a precedent itnperative.iti
its nature, and binding from every circumstance by
which it was atieuded, it; was that ;of 178?,• which
was agreed .to by all parties, and recommended by
the concurrent approbation of those who 111(1..heert
in the habit of differing upon other Imq:stares. He*
had purposely- avoided, in the course of what he
-offered to. the HOuse, :anylreference to.4tinestions of
an ulterior .tit tire; " 4fficient.for the-cla:y.was. the
evil thereof;" but he Celt that 'with thpkroost ,per-
fed consistency; as he was certain .vith the greotest
sincerity, he sitouid vote now: against- the a tjourn-
Anent, though for reasons already Stated', he bad
supported it

Mr. WILBERFORCE said, that upon% • the whole
viei.vaof the case; its'i all its bearings and cireurn.6
stances, the .balance, in his mind, was in. favour. of
the adjournment. He could not but think that the
legal habits• of his Hon. Friend bad led him to consit
der -the,. question in -too
.technical, a sense. They
were, iti the habit, every_day of acting upon similar
grounds, nor, had he.beard, in all that. had been said
upon the subjecl, any positive s,uh.statiiial specific.
injury stated, as likely to'result froth an adjobrn-
ment for. a fortnight. • He thought war-
ranted, upon the whole, in voting for it. was
'impossible to separate as.kespeCt tor the person of the
Sovereign from that abstract resp,:a.for tbeCrown
itself Ahich every- one was.eager to profess., The
-people of ibis country -lo'ved• tbei r,,MiOnarch-,-.because
'they knew that, he loved them, and because .they et-

the' AvorlCl at large was excluded* Such•considera-,
tins must 'create an attachment and a delicacy to,,
Wards him, andiong might such aitachmetii and de;..
lie-icv exist. All the danger to be apprehendei was
,lest delicacy should go too far, and-thereforehe was
of opinion that his Hon. Friend was' right in taking
a -precaution against his own -!..xcess of feeling. The
entire of the objej ions against the adjournment con-
sisted in pushing principles too far. But it, had beets
said, that the word or his Majesty's Ministers shOtild
not be taken. - There certainly vi 'as. one: sense in
which their .word was of more. value,. in su.h-a cases
than that of other people ; they must necessarily be
presumed to be better acquainted.witn the situation
of affairs ; and when they undertook to state upon
their •reponsibility that no' injury .could arise from
the adjournment,. he was willing to believe them,
and gratify those feelings of delicacy which he wa§
not 'ashamed to confess he entertained.- • No reason
appeared to him to be made out against theprinci
• ple of adjourning ;' for whatever constitutional ob.-
jediOn could be used now was equally applicable to
the first adjournment; and as. no solid specific in-
jury had been statecrby any of the opponents of the
motion, he should feel himself justified in support-
ing it by his vote. •

Mr. FULLER said, that he would go upon the
nions of the physicians ; they. would not say what
was wrong. ,They were' placecrin a worse situation
sincett hey became physicians to the King than while
they were physicians to the Public. They had de-
clared that the King would be. restored to sanity of
mind and body. What had-the House to reason on'
but simple facts,' and those facts troughl forward
and stated by- the ablest' men. in.the.coantry Un.,
der such. circumstances it would . not. be right to
abandon an old man suffering under the most i:oig-
nant afflict ion, to %Ilia his son was exposed as well
as -himself, -to which all the world was exposed.----
From the' first' moment that he (Mr. Fuller) had set
his foot in that House, he had acted conscientious-
ly ; 'he could swear to it, arid now he 'would give art
honest vote. Whoever ratted now, whoever ran over
to any body else, was wrong; any one Who Would de.;
sert,now -was the basest of human belitgs ; any man;
whether Prince or Peasant, who would dote, or en-
couragethe doing of it, why, blow him off. the earth?
Under these circumstances he would vote for a Stir-
thtr adjournment ; but if his 'Majesty was. not bet-
ter then, why, other measures should be taken td
do as the country wished ; but now, would they be
mean enough to desert their Monarch ? He
ed around the House; and was confidant that he read
in Their countenances they' would not. •
