THE ADMINISTRATION.
Mr. WYNN moved that the House at its rising
should adjourn to Tuesday, the Ist of May.
Mr. TIERNEY rose amidst the greatest confu-
sion, and said, that before this proposition was put
to the Vote, there was one question which he wished
to ask. He thought it was impossible for the public
affairs to go on much longer in this way. It had
hadbee n s ab do mw int t eg
rd
etaot hfi
omr
baear fortnightane e
the formation of a new Administration ; and, he
thought, that if that forbearance should now be car-
ago, that the House
upon the question of
car-
ried any further, it would be highly improper. It
was now more important than ever that the question
he had before put should be answered. All the Mi-
nisters had now gone away, except one, who, they
were now told, had accepted office, and upon this
single piece of information the House were called
upon to give up their functions for the space of
three weeks. He had no inclination to embarrass
the Administration, or to throw any impediments in
the way of the arrangements that might possibly be
in progress. But he must say, that it was extremely
reasonable for him to inquire what progress had been
made, before the House agreed to any further ad-
journment. It seemed to him that the object he had
in vier., might be obtained, and the country might
be satisfied upon this most important question, if
the adjournment was made from this day to Wednes-
day next, instead of at once adjourning for the time
i
proposed. He recommended that that course should
be adopted, and he begged the House would not

part with the power they now possessed, till thi
obtained that information which they had a right',
require.
Mr. WYNN said, he apprehended that the grows'
of the adjournment was to be found partly in tl
time of year at which it was usual for the House
adjourn for a short time. The motion for the
journment had usually been a mere matter of forts
Mr. TIERNEY, across the table—Yes, but tl
was when a complete Administration was in existenr
Mr. WYNN proceeded—Difficulties had occur'
in the formation of a new Administration, but 0'
arrangements were in progress, that he trusted 6'
would soon be completed, though they required tf
a certain time should he allowed to bring them
maturity. That time, it was to be hoped, the Rig,
Hon. Gentleman would allow them, and before t.
House met again, he had no doubt they would
able to communicate the information which the Rig
Hon. Gentleman required.
Mr. TIERNEY said, that the Right Hon. Ge
tlemen seemed now to require time just in the S'
manner as they had required it before. Time h'
already been afforded them, and two months
been consumed without hardly any perceptible Pr:
grese. He thought that to allow more time vro'r
be to indulge them too much. He had himself lir
deratood, that within the last ten days power ht
been given to a Right Hon. Gentleman to forty
new Administration, yet those ten days had clap'
and, instead of any Administration being formed,
appeared that seven of the Cabinet Ministers ('
least such was the report, and whether true or not
was impossible to know) had all at once run e 0
for what purpose was best known to themselves,
what scheme or cabal nobody knew, and when the
intended to come back, or whether they ever
tended it, nobody seemed to know. Under for
circumstances he must say, as a Member of t'
House of Commons, that le should be betrays'
his trust, disgracing his situation, and abstainiug fre
the performance of his duty, if lie suffered Of
things to pass without notice, and abandoned '
country in this situation.
The gallery was about to be cleared, but the quf
tion was finally put and carried without a division.,
Mr. C. WYNN moved for a new writ for Se',
ford, for the election of a Burgess in the room
Augustus Frederick Ellis, Esq. who had accept
the Chiltern Hundreds.—Ordered.
A return was ordered of the manufactured article
and of their official value, imported out of or is
ported into the United Kingdom, from the 50'
April,lB2s, to the sth April, 1827.
An Account of the Unredeemed Funded Debt'
to the sth January, 1827, was also ordered. ,
On the motion of Mr. C. GRANT, an Aec°lj

remaining unpaid up to the sth of April, 1827, sO6
posed to be about 239,2711. was ordered to be

Amount of Exchequer Bills outstanding end unPa'
