tlatne was carried. He hoped they would also
bear in mind what had been stated by a Noble
Earl, who had such Parliamentary weight, and
'whose talents Were acknowledged by the House
and the Country to be of the first rate ; lie
trusted they had not forgotten that manoeuvre
and trick by which that Noble Earl had intended
to put an entire stop to the Bill.
.There was not
h Noble Lord in that House yesterday, but par-
ticularly those Noble Lords who voted,for the
second reading of the Bill, who was not called
‘lPon to consult his conscience in the present case,
and say whether he would consent to lend him-

terclay‘ been practised by the Noble Earl, with
respect to' the Divorce. clause,. and thereby be
instrumental in rejecting the Bill. He hoped
that those Noble Lords would reflect in what
Bands their consciences were placed by this trick,
before they decided on the fate of the Bill.-
Earl GREY said, he was Compelled to rise

13erhaps he might be indiscreet in making this

'd been supported in the manner they had
seen, and when the Noble and Learned Lord on
the 'Woolsack had spoken for the clause—what,
he would ask their Lordships, must they think

tricking of Ministers, when they found
nine of the Cabinet voting against the clause,

nirnself had concluded his defence of the clause

nerefore with feelings of strong indignation, and
Ile could almost use a harsher word, that he
f°°llel the Noble Earl disposed to accuse' him of
raa,
iceuvres and tricks. All his sin was, in his
having been too open, and too indiscreet in avow-
aa; his real sentiments. Nothing, he would un-
dtertake to say, was more Parliamentary, in
"ter times, than for those who objected to a
rni'4'llre of any kind, and who. never had con-
te'd•led their opposition to it, to endeavour to
clog it with such difficulties as should pre-
vent its passing. lie had stated before that
nothing was more anomalous, or more monstrous,

ti:te for its rejection. So seriously did he feel
h.,° difficulties that surrounded him, that it
all' been his intention not to have voted at
but he was not, on that account, to be accused
of 11. ant of fairness to the House, much less of trick.
s ° strong were his objections to this anomalous,

the Noble Lord whom he had been accus-

whence it had come. Wishing to stand well with
the Honse, and deserve that respect from their
LOrdships, which had never been wanting till the
present hour, he conceived that he owed them
this explanation. He would now resume his seat,
after thanking them for the kindness with which
their Lordships had honoured him.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE, in explanation,

conduct of the Noble Earl by imputing the cha-
racter of tricking to his Parliamentary course,
and if he bad applied the epithet of " unworthy"
to it, it would give him infinitely more pain than
any thing that had happened thrOugh his life:
But the Noble Earl was Mistaken, tor he.never
had used the expression`" unworthy trick." He
would repeat it with this .explanation, that he
spoke only of that Parliamentary tricking and
manoeuvring, which Was too often resorted to in,
both Houses.--but from Av hich nothing was in-
ferred at all disreputable to the individual who

practiced it.

It would be recollected by their Lordships,
that ,in his opinion, the preamble of the Bill
was clearly proved.—With respect to those
Noble Lords who had voted for the Second
Reading of the Bill, he certainly did not mean to

ing, if the Divorce Clause were retained.

THE PRINCESS AUGUSTA'S BIRTH-DAY.—Yes-
terday being the anniversary of her Royal High-

A letter from Madrid, dated the 24th ult.,
states, that it was not without considerable re-
luctance that the King gave his assent to the Bill
for the suppression of the Monastic Orders. He
declared, on its first presentation, at it was
contrary to his conscience, and positively refused
his sanction. The Ministers, however, repaired
to his Majesty in a body, and tendered their re-
signations, in the event of his deeming it proper
to persist in his intention. This spirited inti-
mation immediately removed the King's scruples,
and the Bill passed in the usual form.—(Morning
Paper.)
