io the hope of the recovery of the King, but at the
ssooe. time we received assurances, that if his Royal
Father should not be rests .red, and the Prince
should assume the reins of Government, he would
act upon
those principles he had formerly entertain-
td, and that the commission with which he had at
first been entrusted should be restored. Conscious

wear, hear.) We were disappointed ; yet to the first
reposition mae b th Noble Marquis, confessedly
without authorid ty,y wee returned an answer which
chewed our disposition to conciliate, in compliance
with the general wishes of the nation. The next step
was the renewal of the proposition with full powers,
although the Noble Marquis had previously in vain
solicited authority to explain, what he imagined had
been misconceived. My Noble Friend (Earl Moira)
with that frankness which characterizes him, com-
menced his negotiation, and he will do ug the justice
to admit, that he was met with equal alacrity and
liberality. To avoid any delay that might arise, I j
brought forward a difficulty that forcibly struck
say mind, and in consequence, the Noble Earl broke
off the intercourse, declaring that he could proceed
no further. That he acted conscientiously, i have
so doubt, but the impression upon my mind from all
the circumstances, was that which I before stated to
your Lordships. Hereafter an opportunity will be
afforded of more detailed examination of the causes
of that strong impression, the statement of which
was called forth by what was stated by the Noble
Earl (Harrowby) on the other side of the House.--
If I am wrong, the'House will be able to decide, and
I lament if their decision be not such as to confirm
those sentiments which I found it impossible to
repress."
Earl MOIRA.—" I am sincerely happy to assure
the House that I am completely satisfied, and I mist
that if I said any thing to create an unpleasant im-
pression, it is as .completely effaced from his recollec- I
lion as what he stated is from my own. Into what j
passed between me and an illustrious personage, it
would be indelicate for me here to enter, nor will it
be more proper that in this stage I should dwell upon
the various musts of delay beyond those alluded to !
by my Noble Friend. I trust I have adopted that I
generous spirit throughout these transactions,without
which Is should have been atraid to act, and which •
Is in truth only a kind of honour. If the point allud-
ed to by the Noble Earl, on which my negotiation
terminated, had been such in my view as lie repro- 1
sents it in his, I should have held myself deeply
criminal if I could have consulted the fe6lings of
say individual, even of that personage who fills
the exalted station of the First Magistrate of the
State. My opposition to the wishes cf my Noble
Friend arose from this circumstance, that I conceived
it to he in the firt instance improper in point of form'.
for me to comply with them, and in the next, that
had I complied, the consequences would have been
singularly mischievous.—But in negociatious of this
kind, tor the sake of removing ill-gx ouoded suspicions.
it is incumbent upon me to resign that judgment I
am called upon to exercise on the part of my Sole-
reign and the Pnblic--(Hear, hear.) Was it reason..
able to expect. that I should give up my notions of ,
tight and wrong ; and-upon that, and that alone, the
aegociation was broken off. The Noble Earl is con-
scions that I came to the subject unfettered in every I
way ; not an individual was named for a seal, and
no place was pointed out even for myself. .I was met
in a manly way, and with the same spirit I resisted
and rejected the pretension of the Noble Earl. The I
nature of that pretension will, in all probability, be j
'afterwards discussed ; for the present I beg to assure
him that I am perfectly satisfied with the explanation
he has afforded."
Lord GRENVILLE." My Lords, for one I
shall be well contented to allow this matter to rest,j
until the public judgment, from information afforded,
can be deliberately formed ; but as an individual
concerned in recent events, I lay in my claim to as.,
sect, and when required, to prove, that in every part
where our conduct was implicated, it was not en a
pretension, as.the Noble Earl terms it, but on a dif-
ference regarding a most important point of the Con-
stitution,necessary, as we conceive, to the good govern- ;
mental the Empire, that our dissention was founded. I
My Noble Friend asks, whether it was to be required
of him that he should sacrifice his judgment to our
wishes? Such a desire would be pteposterous,/but ,
let me likewise ask your Lordships, and I request
TM to ask yourselves, whether our judgment was
to be yielded to the Noble Earl on points of material
and fundamental importance, when the question was
no less than this, whether we could consent to be-
come efficient Men.bers of an Administration formed
on a principle, wl ich, in our deliberate opinion, was
calmed to overthrow the acknowledged practice of

longer now, by a more minute examination of the
euestioe, but I the ught these few words necessary,
that the principk on which we proceeded might not
be mistakes of misrepresented. Farther I will not
"It proceed, be when the subject is discussed in
tail, the House, as be; been already remarked, will
(over what is fit that Parliament should take upon
itself."

The question of adjournment was then put from
the Woolsack, and the Reuse, in consequence, ad-
journed until this day.
