THE ADDRESS.

Viscount GRANVILLE rose to more an A►hlress
to his Aikajts'y (pi the occasion of his n►ost gra•
cious Spi.ecb. ile cerisiuly fel►, he observed,
some <lt glee of toibarrnsmetit in thus coming

his conntry, and the mass of the manufacturing
population proportionably increased. The cessa-
tion of that system and monopoly, unavoidably
caused much evil to numerous individuals, and the
extensive discharges from the military and naval es-
tablishments aggravated the evil. The misconduct
of many of such individuals, therefore,►vas the sub-
ject of compassion rattier than of blame. The
widely extended system of general education,
though excellent and desirable itself, in some de-
gree, however, proved a channel through which
dangerous and pernicious doctrines were dissemi-
nated ; but in apportioning necessary coercion or
puttiahment, a due line of distinction should be•
'e's.",;(ii respect to the foreign relations of the coins-
try, the prospect he thought, upon the whole,
was highly favourable. At one portion of Europe
it was impossible to look without sonic degree
of anxiety ; but every one must naturally wish
for the establishment of good order and rational
freedom in that quarter. Yet he had to hope
that, should the torch of discord or civil warfare
unhappily take place therein, this country would
not be involved in it.—He was happy to observe
that no new calls upon the country were contem
plated, with reference either to the Civil List or
to the Crown, though all were naturally lute•
rested in the due maintenance of both, and in
providing for a becoming splendour with refe-
rence to the due honour and dignity of the latter.'
With respect to the commercial interests of the
country, he was aware of the disaffection which ex-
isted, but he trusted such regulations may be made,
and such salutary relaxations, as would much ame-
liorate our commercial system; these improvements
would soon be followed by a commensurate agricul-
tural prosperity. In fine, he trusted the system to be
adopted by our gracious Sovereign would be such
as to draw still closer the ties of affection and
loyalty between the King and People ; and thus
deeming, witb respect to the topics adverted to in
the gracious communication front the Throne, he
felt it his duty to move the Address he now sub-
mitted for the adoption of their Lordships.
The Address, as usual, corresponded in all its
leading points with the spirit and tenor of his
Majesty's Speech.
Lord Howaito of Effingham seconded the mo-
tion for the Address, and in a brief, but perti-
' tient and well delivered speech, touched upon the
principal topics urged by the Noble Mover, which
his Lordship enforced with ability and effect.-
Earl GROSVENOR rose. He observed that, in
general, on such occasions, it was not customary
to introduce topics which were not clearly con-
nected with the subject matter of the Royal Com-
munication ; but more especially such an observ-
ance was necessary at the very outset of a new
reign, and when his Majesty King George IV. for
the first time sat upon the Throne. He depre-
cated on such an occasion a reference to any thing
tending to excite discussion; and notwithstanding
what had been advanced in the present instance,
he for one would say "'Content" to the Addre4s.
No small portion of what the Noble Lords ad-
verted to, was the subject of much difference of
opinion, and in which difference he in some de-
gree participated, and especially in what he said
upon die subject of public education; as lie under-
stood him, he could not agree, nor did be sec how
it could he'prodnetive of any thing like evil.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE observed, that the
sentiments which his Noble Friend entertained
upon some of the important topics he haul touched
upon, were similar to those which he bad himself
uniformly advanced. In what related to the ma-
nagement of the Finances and the Civil Establish-
ments of the country, particularly wha► had beet:
thrown out, Was consonant to that line of conduct,
which, under the present circnni,ta flees of deterio-
ration and distress, the pri.plelml a right to expect
(tom t heHouse and bi!l Atli( /T I.:3Governin,fit. From

vote should not itt the least imply any opinion, un
his part, that the last Pailiatnent had acted either
wisely or patriotically, (when, on the contra, y, he
tho►:Kht its conduct produced notlfing hot uti4-
chief), said he should concnr in the Address.
The question w,ts then pot. The Address MRS
voted nem dis. and ordered to be presented to-
morrow to h;s Majesty by the whole House.
