which it had been recommended by message from

that notwithstanding the manner in which the
motion was recOinvitended,•he considered it as per.
tectly competent to himself, or any other Peer, to op-
pose the motion of adjournment, if he thotight pro-
per. But any ithiciance that he felt in concurring

object, with a view to which this adjournment was
proposed ;. use from, any wish whatever tb throw any
obstadles in their way in the prosecution Of that great
object": cm the contrary, if be imagined, or had the
slightest idei, that the sitting of Parliament would, in
the smallest destree interfere with them • in this fez-
i.ct; or to withdraw their attention or time, in the
least, from this most important objtact, he 'should be
the first not only to concur but to urge the pro.
priety of agreeing to the Noble Eatl's motion. His
reluctance arose solely , from a view of the state of
public business at this moment, and also of much im.
portant private business. Many important matters,
which ought this session to meet with the serious at-
tention of their Lordships, would now be postponed to
a very late period, it they could at all be brought
under consideration. There was no disposition on that
side (Opposition side) of the H..use to give any inter-
ruption to Ministers in regard to any negociations that
might be going on, and oo such interruption would be
given. Feeling no disposition on his own part, then, to
give any interruption to Ministers in the object which
at this t; me must parfcularlyengage their attention, he
could riot help regretting, that they had thought it
necessary to come down to the House with a message
of this nature, considering the late period to which
the business of the session had been already positAteds
and when so much important business remained to
be disposed of; for he did not hold it as a doctrine,
that, because one great and important branch of pub.
tic business could not be proceeded with, Parliament
was therefore to adjoern, and stipend the prosecu-
tion of all other business which mignt come before it.
He saw no reason why the domestic buiiness should
stand still aleogether, merely because any proceeding,
with a view to our foreign relations, was for the pre.
sent interrupted. Their Lordships were no doubt
aware, that a great quantity of private and other bu-
siness stood fur discussion, which Parliament was
pledged to take into its most serious consideration this
session. He alluded patticularly to one most impor.
Cant branch of blisiness which was alrnost entirely of
dornest:c nature. .He mean the review and regula-
tion ot the Corn Laws—a business, in order to be
pi operly executed, requiring as much time, as much
information, as much care, attention, and circtnnspec.
Lion as almost any subject which coulc4 occupy the
attention of Parliament. Why, titetf,,onglit not this
be proceeded with in the mean time,: there being a
clear understanding that Ministers wete-not to be in.
terfered with in the prosecutioa ot the.negociition, or '
in any matters connected wkli the present state of our
affairs On the continent ?

I


fully aware of the vast importance of that object, to
which the House would have a future opportunity of
giving that attention which its magnitude deserved ;
and under all the circumstances, he thought it right
to state, that the subject to which be alluded ought
to meet, not only with a deep and careful but also a
most dispassionate attention.
Having thus stated the view which he had of the
present motion of adjournment, and the circumstances
connected with it, he did not think it necessary to at-
tempt throwing any further obstacle in the way of the
motion, being of opinion that he had discharged his
duty in calling their Lordship's attention to the sacri-
fices which they were makingf in giving their concur-

rence.
Lord LIVE RPOOL.—He did not feel himself
called upon to say any more than a very few words,
with reference to what had been said by the noble
Marquis. He agreed with him that, notwithstand-
img such a mode of adjournment, a motion to that ef-
fect coming recommended by message, any peer
Might, undoubtedly, oppose the motion, if he thought
proper to do so. But the respect which was generally
shewn to such a message, under such circumstances,
made it rather an unusual proceeding to oppose a
motion of adjournment founded upon such a recom-
mendation, and under such circumstances as were at
, present known to exist.
Then, as to the question of theexpediency of such
anandjournment, the noble Marquis had said that the
Ministers would not be embarrassed nor interfered
with, even although Parliament sbntlld continue sit-
ting. Yet he Lord (Liverpool) must observe,thatthis
was an argument which might apply to every ad-
journment under any circumstances. But the real
question was, whether, upon the whole, it was advisa-
ble that this motion should be acceded to by their
Lordships, on a view of all the circumstances with
which it was connected ; or, in other words, whether,
upon the whole, the advantages which might be de-
rived from such an adjournment, considered with re-
ference to time and circumstances, were such as might
be fairly considered as counterbalancing any incon-
venience that might be supposed to result from such
an adjournment.
With respect to its being desirable that the House
should adjourn, he could only throw himself on the
indulgence of their Lordships. To enter into any
explanation at this moment would be obviously im-
proper, aud no such explanations could therefore be
reasonably expected to be given. Certainly, how-
ever, before the Prince Regent's Ministers thought it
right to advise his Royal Highness to send this re-'
commendation to their Lordships, they had taken into
consideration the possible or probable inconveniencies
that might result from the adjournment now pro-
posed. The result of their deliberations and inquiries
on this point, bad been to convince them, that no very
material inconvenience was likely to arise from the
proposed. measure of adjournment to any important
- interests whatever : that was, that no inconvenience
* was at all likely to arise from it, which could equal
the inconvenience that might result from Parliament's
continuing sitting. This was all that he conceived it
• proper at present to say on the subject.
Lord DARNLEY.--How was it possible to say,
that no material inconvenience could result from this
adjournment, when it was notorious that there was
such an arrear of causes in that house—causes which
ought to be proceeded in without a moment's un-
necessary delay ? How was it possible to say that no
material inconvenience would arise, when the regtila-
ration of the Corn Laws loimed an object of so much
importance, and one which demanded prompt atten-
tion ? Parliament had already adjourned far beyond
the usual period of adjournment, and now it was
called upon to ad,journ again. He did not mean,
however, to set his own individual opinion against
whampeared to be the general sense of the House ;
he should not, therefore, oppose the motion ; he was
as anxious as any .1 their Lordships that Ministers
should not be interfered with in the great object
about which they were at present particularly em-
ployed : but he thought they might have taken the
. pledge that they should not be interfered with even
though the House were to continue sitting. Though
he did not decidedly oppose the motion, be could not
help thinking that Ministers would have acted a wiser
- part if they had trot pressed this motion of adjourn-
ment The hearing of the appeals would be interrup-
ted, and a press of business would come at the close
of the Session, so as to render it impossible that it
should meet with the proper and requisite attention.
The LORD CHANCELLOR.—He had merely
a single word to say with respect to the appeal causes.
On the best judgment that he could form, it appeared
to him, that the adjournment need be attended with
little or no inconvenience in regard to the hearing of
appeal causes, provided their Lordships thought pro-.
per to prevent it.. It he did not sit there, he must of
course sit in the Court of Chancery during the three
weeks to which the adjournment extended. If, then*:
as much of his timer was taken from the Court of
Chancery, and devoted to the hearing of appeals, on
the insesing-01 Parliament after the adjournnalnt,t as'
the Court of Chancery now gained of that time by
the proposed measure, he did not see that much in-
Convenience we:likely to arisefrom that adjournment,
with respect to the hearing of the appeal causes.
Lord DE KBY.—The adjournment must, it it took
place at all, be, in reality, protracted till the middle
of April. At the close of die adjournment now pro-
posed would come Passion week, and then Easter ;
so that this adjournment, though nominally only for
three weeks, was, in fact,- ao adjournment for six
weeks. He had discharged his duty in stating this.
. The Ministers might have given credit to the pledge
of his Noble Friend, that they would not be inter-
rupted or interfered with by the sitting of Parliament,
in the prosecution of the important subject which
now engaged their particular attention. About the
negociation, it might he improper at present 'to say
any thing farther than this—that he wished, from the
bottom of his heart, that Ministers might be able to
bring that negociation to the desirable termination—
that they might be able to bring a peace founded on
a solid basis—a peace likely to be lasting, and one
which would be safe and honourable for all parties.
No impediment would be thrown by him in the way
of Mir:ilium. is the conduct of this negotiation-..sines
would have been thrown io their way Sal hira tbongra
Parliament had continued sitting. A future %Ma.
*unity would occur for the full investigation and dis,
4P'"°P of the conduct of Ministers in this respect*
aod he should be most happy to (tad du% their con.

duet had been such as he mild acescientiuusly sp.'
,
prove and applaud.
Duke of NORFOLK.—It was very possible, that
after the close of the present adjournment, another
might be proposed. No precise judgment could be
' at present formed, even by the Ministers themselves,
whether a further adjournment might or might not
be thought necessary? But unless they thought it pro-
bable that Parliament could really proceed to business
at the close of the adjournment now moved, it was
desirable that they should give some notice te the
agents who were concerned in Appeal causes : many
of these had, to his knowledge, come to town already
in the full expectation that Parliament was now to
have proceeded to business. In some way or other,
notice might be given them before the end of the pre-
sent period of adjournment, that another adjournment
was in contemplation, in case another should be
thought advisable.
Lord LIVERPOOL.—He could of course give
no positive pledge now on that subject. It must in
some measure depend on circumstances ; but he
could state, that at present it was intended that Par-
liament should proceed to business at the close,of the
present adjournment. As to the inconvenience stated
by a Noble Lord on the other side (Derby), from
Passion week and Easter coming close upon the pe-
riod of the proposed adjournment, that circumstance
had been considered, and it was expected that mat-
ters could be so arranged, that the inconvenience
would not be very material.
The motion was then put and carried; and the
LO RD CHANCELLOR accordingly declared.. that
the House was adjourned to Monday, the 21st of
March instant.
