HOUSE OF COMMONS.

Lord lOCELYN 'informed the House, that, pursuant to Ad-
dresses to the Regent, his Royal Highness bad ordered that the
representations made to the rnvy Council, relative to the pro-
Frio), of laying au increased duty upon foreign linens, and the
account of the disbursements from the Dreits of Admiralty,
should be laid before the House.

ORDERS IN COVCIL.
General GASCOIGNE inquired of Mr. Broug-
ham, whether it was his intention to bring forward
his motion regarding the Orders in Council on Tues-
day next ?
Mr. BROUGHAM replied, that he saw no mo-
tive Er postponing it beyond the Thursday follow.
ing, which day it was his intention to fix as the pe-
riod when he should positively submithis propositions
to the House. It indeed it were wished that the dis-
cussion should be deterred until something in the
shape of a GOveinment were formed,.he thought that
it would be postponing it to a period infiiiitely too
distant for the decision of a question so momentous
and important. At present, it however would stand
for Tuesday next ; but if a Riaht Honourable Gen-
tleman (Mr. Canning) should put off his motion,
which was fixed for the Thursday succeeding, ke
(Mr. Brougham) should name that day for the de.
bate upon the Orders in Council.
Mr. ROSE observed that it was impossible that
the House could at so early a period be prepared for
the discussion : the evidence given at the bar, gene-
rally only in the presence of six or seven Members,
could not be printed in time.

Mr. BROUGHAM reminded Mr. Rose that be-
tween five and six hundred pages had already been
printed and distributed.

Mr. ROSE warmly protested against so hasty a
proceeding.

IRISH CUSTOMS D17T1113.

The House resolved itself into a Committee of
Ways and Means, when
-Mr. W. POLE proposed a Resolution for conti.
nuing the Irish Customs Duties, which expire on the
sth July next, for another year.
Sir JOHN NEWPORT objected to the vote, at a
time when the country was destitute of an Executive
Government.

Mr. W. POLE said, that all parties agreed in the
I propriety of the Resolution itselt, and he should have
thought himself guilty of a gross breach of duty if
he had not submitted to the Committee a resolution
for continuing to the public creditors of Ireland one
very important security for the repayment of the debt.
Colonel BASTARD acknowledged that the Right
Honourable Gentleman had (lode hi duty ; but the
House had likewise a duty to discharge. He for one
should uniformly object to any financial measure
til an Administration were formed. When a pew
,Government was establ►shed, he trusted th:tt some
inquiry would be instituted to ascertain whether. the
immense taxation now collected were necessary for
the maintenance of the State. The Resolution was
then agreed to.
Mr. W. POLE brought in the Irish Loan Bill,
which was read a first time.
THE ADMINISTRATION.

Mr. CANNING said--,1 Having been the chan-
nel of communicating to the House on Monday the
circumstance that a Noble Friend of mine (Marquis
Wellesley) had en that day received authority from
his Royal Highness the Prince Regent to proceed to
the formation of a new Administration, I feel it in.
cumbent upon me this day to state to the House, be-
ing in possession of the information, that my Noble
Friend has this morning resigned that authority again
into the hands of his Royal Highness. I sh ac-
company this disclosure with no observation, unless
I might be permitted earnestly to deprecate discus-
sion (Hear, hear), which can be productive of. no
' good, and may lead to great mischief, by kindling
animosities, which are certainly not wanted to add to
the embarrassments of the country. Being now,
however, in possession of the information, and hav-
ing been on the former day the channel of communi.
cation of the cme fact, I thought I should be guilty
of something like delusion if I had not communica-
ted the other."
Mr. MARTIN (of Galway) said, 44 After what
has fallen from the Right Hon. Gentleman, the HMSO
may be assured that nothing will proceed from me
that can in the least degree embarrass any arrange-
ment hereafter to be attempted, but as a Member of
Parliament I feel it my duty to ask one question.*nd
it is this ; I address myself to the Right Hon. and

Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Ponsonby), after it had been
stated, felt that it was a question which he could lug
reply to, without difficulty, he (Mr. Martin) would
not press it upon him.
Mr. CALCRAFT said, that the point was not
whether the question could be answered, but whether
it ought to be put in the manner proposed? The put.
tice of a former day had lent some support to this
mode of proceeding, but he thought that it ought
not in future to be coutrenanced.

Mr. MARTIN.'—‘, Then I will not put it in th„
form so much objected tn. I will only Ay this, to

The Honourable Member was interrupted by ked

Mr. BARHAM declared his determination, if the
question were persisted in, to take the sense of the
House upon it. Whether it were read from a written
paper, or pa by word of mouth, could make no
fertnce; he warmly insisted that such interrogatories
were wholly out of order.
Mr. MA RTIN.--44 I eensiglY shall not Pentrere.
My object was to put the country in possession tithe
cause. as far as was able to ascertain it, that the
negociation set on Nut, under the auspices of lag
Wellesley and Lord Moira, had failed. P
that it is not the sense .of tht House that I
proceed, I shall acquiesce. In consequence alto of
what has fallen from the Right Hon. Gentleman oa
the door (Mr. Canning), recommending that the
subject should not now be agitated, I shall abandoa
the notice I have given.—(Hear, hear).
The other Orders of the Day were postponed anti
Monday next.

eannitti IN COUgClL—coNcLunow OF THE EXAMINATION.
On the Motion of Mr. ROSE, the H ase thee
resolved itself into a Committee on the Petitions 's.
specting the Orders in Council, and immeshing
proceeded to the examination of witnesses.
Mr. Winton, a Merchant, who trades solely to
Malta, was under examination for upwards of tee
hours. Two other witnesses were examined, bet
not to a very great extent.
Mr. ROSE then stated, that the next and last
witness which it was his intention to call was Ma
Mani:yam a Member of that House.
Mr. BROUGHAM objected to the calling of Mr.
Marryatt, for the purpose of questioning him, at;
the ground of his being a Member of that Simi
contending, at the same time, that any thing Mick
that indiv►dual might have to communicate could
be given to the House in his speech, and in such a
way it would come before them in a less objeetioa.
able shape. He (Mr. Brougham) had never dreamt
of calling on an Hon. Friend near him (Mr. Baring),
it being his opinion, that any information respectiag
the Orders in Council, of which a Member m►gbt
deem it right to put the House in possession, iould,
come in the most proper manner through the me•
dium of a speech. He trusted, that the Ei in. Gen.
tleman opposite would not persevere is calling Mr.
Marryatt.
Mr. STEPHEN and Mr. Rosa then contended, st
some length, on the propriety of calling Mr. M.
they maintaining, that it was preferable to have a
examination instead of a speech, because the Home
would have the former on record, and would bas
time to consider it.
After some further observations, Mr. BAUM lin
opposing the call, Mr. Marryatt was called.
Mr. M.arryau was then examined at some lead b 7
Mr. Robs and Mr. STENOS f but before the exasu•
nation was concluded,
Mr. 1311101.1011 AM objected to its tendency,and morel
that a considerable portion of it be expunged own We
Minutes.

Atter considerable opposition and many wigwag
observations from boat sides, we understood Mr.
Brougham's motion to .be acceded to, and coop
quently that a great portion of Mr. Marrystes
dence was rejected.
No other Member desiring to call any person for
the purpose of giving evidence, it was announced. th
the esamination of witneskes had concluded, and con•
sequently that the inquiry had terminated.
The House then resumed, when it was ordered that
the Report should be brought up on another day.
Mr. BROUGHAM, considering the present amt•
tied state of the Government, and ardently borg
that affairs would not long be suffered to remain is
their present state, observed, that be could not tel
when he should move, that the Report of the Cow
mittee of Inquiry on the Orders in Council, oda
the State of Trade, be taken into consideration.
The House adjourned at nine o'clock, to Friday •

MORNING HERALD.

a Marquis WELLEIILEY)S State mission has termi.
nated, and his authorised powers have been returned
back to the PRINCE REGENT as he received them.
This was noticed last night by Mr. CANNING to the
House of Commons, and by the Noble Marquis to
the House of Peers. The Lords. GREY and GREN-
vita returned a. written answer to his Lordship's
proposition yesterday at two o'clock, declining therein
a fair share in the Cabinet, distinctly stating the over-
ture to be inadmissible, that is, according to plain,
common-sense acceptation, ' We will have ALL or
Norm'

" Notwithstanding this failure, through the vindic-
tive spirit of a -desperate party; we have the satisfac-
tion to state, that Earl MOIRA was, at four o'clock,
duly commissioned to form an Administration. His
Lordship will negociate with this advantage, viz. that
there is one class of Statesmen who will cheerfully
serve with, and soder him, who were not disposed to
do so with Lord WELLESLEY ; and that there is an-
other class equally disposed to join either of the two
Noble Lords, without any exception or reservation
*hatever. This arrangement, it may reasonably be
hoped, will derive a farther advantage from the sup-
port of a powerful body of the most respectable cha-
racters in the Country, who are at length uniting to
interpose a patriotic shield to protect the Crown
Iteinst the farther assailings of a furious Aristocratic
faction ! The result of Lord MOIRA'S negotiation
cannot be expected to be declared before Saturday."
