PiIRLIAMENT-IRT PROCEE..DINGS.

HOUSE OF LORDS, JULY so,

JUDICIAL 'RUSIN ESS.

Their Lor.iships at ten o'clock:when the Royal Assent
was given, by Commission, to the following Bias :
•I he Scotch •;i:it it Duty Lill, rite Thames Polce, the Cu.stonas
Selz," t.„ the CLray :.arrutng, the Laud Tax Redemption, the

"Ihr Vote of Cr:;da. sit:l die licius4 M:ittki hilts were read a
third tkae.

The LORD CHANCELLOR, in closing the Ju-
dicial Business of the Session, by postponing the
cAusca which were yet unheard, observed, that of
shout S,i) cases which had been heard hi the present
Session, there were none ca which judgment had
not been given, except sir, of which two had been
postponed At the desire of the parties, and two under
particular circumstances. The remaining two were
postponed from the extent of the question involved
in them, respecting contracts, on which it was most
de,irable to obtain the opinions of the Judges in this
port of the kingdom. His Lordship lamented, in
touching on the subject of Appeals in Scotland, that
the Court of Sessions there were not in the habit of
referring to a Jury cptestions which related to fact
only. The effect of the contrary practice was, that
the House of Lords had to determine on complicated
appeals from the decision of the Court of Session, with
respect to the merits of which his Lordship professed
himself utterly ignorant. His Lordship concluded
by expressing his hope that the trial by Jury would
be gradually introguccd into Scotland.
Earl STANHOPE expressed great satisfaction at
all that he had heard tIPJM the Noble Lord (the Lord
Chancellor), and at the manner in which the judicial
business of the preamt Session had been dispatched.
Be wAs perfectly satisfied with what had been said
respecting the trial of facts in Scotland, and wished
it to b entered as a notice for the next Session, that
he' should move for leave to bring in a Bill on the
subject ; on which his intention was to introduce the
trial by Jury in cases, in a manner in which neither
the parties nor the Courts there could object to it.
Their Lordships then adjourned to one o'clock.
The House resumed between one and two; a great
cumber of Ladies were then in the Peers seats.

About two o'clock his Royal Highness the PRINCE
REGENT came in state, and entered the House in
prGcession, attended by the Marquis of lizarvoun,
Lord Chamberlain ; the Marquis of lArtsciravrcu,
Groom of the Stole ; the Fbirl of CIU)LNIONDELEYI
Lord Steward ; and all the accustomed attendacts.
The Duke of WELLING roN carried the Sword of State.

His RoYat. Hionsi.ss being seated on the Throne,
in his lull roses, and with his hat on, with his at-
tendants arranged on each side, and the Peers pre-
sent being in their pl ices, habited in their robes, Sir
'CIIONIAS TYRWIIITT, the Gentleman Usher of the
Bleick R0..1, was directed by the PRINCE REGENT to
go to the Commons, and signify his Royal High-
neis's con m Inds, that that House should attend in
the Hvuse oi Lords.

Shortly afterwards, the SPEAR= of the House of
Commons, in his ful dress robes, aecc.mpanied by a
nber of 111:•mbers, came to the Bar.

The SPEAKER, holding in his hand the Vote vf
Credit Biil, addressed the PRINCE REGENT in the
Speech :

gg May it pirate your Royal Higiness,
gg We, his Majesty's most dutiful and loyal sub.
jests, the Commons of Great Britain and Ireland, do
ncr.v attend your Royal Highness with our last Bill
of Supply for the service of the pressnt year.
44 Assembled at a period when the fate of Europe
was still doubtful, and balanced by alternate hopes
and reverses. we-have been anxious, but not inactive
spectators of those great transactions which have
wrought so fortunate a change in the state of the
civilized world.

44' During this portentous interval, we have pur-
sued our legislative labours, according to our accus-
tomed course, applying practical remedies to the prac-
tical evils incident to old establishments, or arising
out of new occurrences, in some cases proceeding ex-
perimentally by laws of a limited duration, in others
collecting such mtterials of information as may lay
the gmand fur future mei...:res ; and those who may
come after us will see traces of that progressive im-
provement, which t:ee sober habit of this country cau-
tiously, but not reluctantly, adopts into the system
of its domestic policy and jurisprudence.
66 With respect to our Financial arrangements, by
the proviJent measures of a former Session, we have
been enabled to refrain from augmenting the bur-
thens of the people, and at the same time to make
our military exertions corresponi with the scale of
passing events.
Whilst we have been thus employed, the desti-
nies of Europe have been gradually unrolled before
our eyes: and the powerful Nations of the North,
sending forth their collective strength to try the last
issues of war, whilst Great Britain and her Allies
were with equal vigour advancing from the South,
their joint efforts have at length accomplished the
downfall of the.greatest military despbtitm which in
modern dayi has _disgraced and desolated the earth.
In these arduous struggles, we can look back with
just pride on the discharge of our high duties. The
Dritish army, modelled upon a wise sYsttris, steadily
aid adminigeted ar home, and-conduc-
tad by contummaeilieliaand valour in the field, has
borne its'comPliti share in the glorious conclusion
of this long and eventful war; and his Muksty's
faithful Commons have gladly lent their aid to main-
tain the honours and dignities of those illustrious
cotrimaners, whom the Wisdom ..f the Sovereign
has called upon to bus wend his Throne.
46 la the peace whit It has since followed, the efforts
of this country have been not less glorious. The wise
and liberal policy of our Government, which an-
staancej justice and eqUatity of right, to be the basis
of ma diplomatic systelli, has been happily sustained
abroad.
•' Tbc British name' r,ew stands high in policy its
arms ; and an enlightened people has justly ap-
plaudei! the firmness andvemper which have conci-
liated and cemented the interests of Allies, sheered
the doubtful, animated the veaious, and united the
deliverers and the debetred in st peace honourable
uErid advantsgeous to all the cornracting Posers.
" The rvents of our own times have outrun the
clainary march sof history. Peace restertd, com-

merce revived—thrones reestablished, the weU.fonn•
ded hope that the same councils and the same mas-
ta-hand so mainly instrumental in the work hitherto
accomplished, may at the approaching Congress ex-
tend and fix the work of peace throughout Europe;
and a further hope, that the earnest and universal
prayer of this great country may prevail upon the
nations of Europe in re-establishing their own happi-
ness, to concur also in putting au effectual end to the
wrongs and desolation of Africa.
Auspicious, however, as our present state may
seem to be, the instability of all human affairs for-
bids us to be to confident of its prosperous continu-
ance. Mach yet remains to be done in Europe, and
we have still one contest to maintain by war—a war
which we can never consent to terminate but by the
establishment of our claims, according to the maxims
of public law and the maritime rights of this empire.
To provide for these branches of the public ser-
vice has been our last care; and the Bill which I
have to present to your Royal Highness is intituled,
An Act for enabling his Majesty to raise the sum
of three millions for the service of Great Britain,
6 and for applying the sum of £200,000 British cur-
, rency for the service of Ireland ;' to which Bill your
faithful Commons, with all humility, entreat his Ma-
jesty's royal assent."
he SPEAKER then presented the Vote of Credit
Bill, to which the Royal Assent was signified, in the
accustomed form ; as also to the Militia Pay and
Clothing Bill, and to Dandas's Divorce Bill.
The PRINCE REGENT then &livered the following
Speech :
66 fly Lords and Gentlemen, •
.
" I cannot close this Session of Parliament with-
out repeating the expression of my deep regret at the
continuance of his Majesty's lamented indisposition.
66 When, in consequence of that calamity, the
powers of Government were first entrusted to me, I
found this country engaged in a war with the greater
part of Europe.
r% I determined to adhere to that line of policy
whicl. his Majesty had adopted, and in which he had
per se% erel tinder so many ant such trying difficulties.
The zealous and unremitting support and• assistance
which I have received from you, and from all classes.
of his Majesty's subjects ; the consummate skill and
ability displayed by the great Commander, whose
services you have so justly acknowledged ; and the
valour and intrepidity of his Majesty's Forces by sea
and land, have enabled me, under the blessing of
DIVINE PROVIDENCE, to surmount all the difficulties
with which 1 have had to contend.

T have the satisfaction of contemplating tbe full
accomplishment of all.those objects for which the
war was either undertaken or continued ; apd the un-
exampled exertions of this country, combined with
those of his Majesty's Allies, have succeeded in ef-
fecting the deliverance of Europe from the most gall-
ing and oppressive tyranny under which it has ever
laboured.

"'1 he restoration of so many of the ancient and
legitimate Governments of the Continent Affords the
best prospect of the permanence of that peace which,
in conjunction with his Majesty's Allies, I have con-
cluded ; and you may rely on my efforts being direc-
ted, at the approaching Congress, to complete the
settlement of Europe, which has been already so an-
'piciously begun ; and to promote, upon principles of
justice and impartiality, all those measures which
may appear best caculated to secure the tranquitli:y
and happiness of all the nations engaged in the late

e• I regret the contir•uaoce of hostilities :•rich the
United States of America. Notwithstanding the un-
provoked aggression of the Government of that cobn-
try, and the circumstances under which it took place,
I am sincerely desirous of the restoration of peace
between the two aations, upon conditions honourable
to both. But until this object can be obtained, I
am persuaded you will see the necessity of my avail-
ing myself of the means now at my disposal to pro-
secute the war with increased vigour.
" Gentlemen of Me House of Common:,
."
I thank you for the liberal provision which you
have made for the services of the present year.

66 The circumstances under which the war in Eu-
rope has been concluded, and the necessity of main-
taining for a time a body of troops in British pay
upon the Continent, have rendered a continuation of.
our foreign expenditure unavoidable. You may rely,
however, upon my determination to reduce the ex-
penses of the country as rapidly as the nature of our
situation will permit.
" My Lin!: and Gentlemen,
66 It is a peculiar gratification to me to be enabled,
to assure you, that full justice is rendered through-
out Europe to that manly perseverance which, amidst
tLe convulsions on the Continent, has preserved this
country against all the designs of its enemies, has
augmented the resources and extended the dominions
of the British Empire, and has proved in its result as
beneficial to other nations as to our own.

His Majesty's subjects cannot fail to be deeply',
sensible of the distinguished advantages whiCh they'
have possessed ; and I am persuaded that they will
ascribe them, under Pnoviugmcr, to that Constitu•
tion which it has now for a century been the otbject
of my family to maintain unimpaired, and under
which the people of this realm have enjoyed more of
re -a liberty at home, and of true glory abroad, than
has ever fallen to the lot of any nation."
Then the LORD CIIANCCI.LORI by the PRINCE RE-
GENT'S CcollThllld, said—
My Lords aid GeNiktieu,
" It is the command of his Royal Highness the
Prince Regent, acting in the name and on behalf of
his Majesty, that this Parliament be prorogued to
Saturday, the 27,11 day of August next, to be then
here holden ; and this Parliament is accoruingly
prorogued to Saturday the 27th day of August next."
His Royal Higlineu. 'aowed, and the SPEAKER and
the Commons having made their obeisance, withdrew
4rom the bar.

The kiniNce RrorxT (pitted the House in prices•
s;on, in the same firm as on his entrance, and the
Peers and Ladies !Aired.

Speaker informed the House that the Royal Assent hid s,„"
given, by CoutetLwi..n, to a number of Albite bills, (for which

On the moti.in of Mr. CANNING, new writ was ordered

On the Motion of Mr. ARBUTHNOT, a nee writ was or-
dered to be issued for the Borougkof Aldborough, in Yorkshire, 1
in the room of H. Dawkins, Esq. who since his election had ao-
cepted the Chiltern Hundreds.
Mr. Lambe, from the South Sea Company, presented the half
yearly accounts of the said Company.—ordered to be prihted.
No furrier business being before the House, the Slicakcr then.
left the Chair during pleasure.
At about twenty minims before two o'clock the :speaker re-
sumed the Chair.
A Petition v.e4 presented frost certain electors of the Borough
of Grampound, complainirg of an undue return for the said
Borough.—Referred to the Committee to which the former
titions on the same subject had been referred.
THE PRINCESS OF WALES.

Mr. TIERNEY, seeing u Noble Lord opposite in
his place, wished to ask him some questions on a sub-
ject of great public importance. It had been cur-
rently reported, that her Royal Highness the Prin-
cess of Wales had made an application, through his
Majesty's Ministers, for permission to return to the
Continent. Whether that apelication bad been made
with a view merely to a temporary visit to her
Royal Highness's brother, at Brunswick, or whether
it was to be understood as involving an intention
on the part of her Royal Highness to leave this
country altogether—in either case, he could not
contemplate it without deep regret. Unquestien•
ably he could conceive the possibility of the exist-
ence of such a claim on hor Royal Highness as
would demand her temporary preference of another
country, although it required the utmost strain of his
imagination to do so. It, therefore, the Noble Lord
should reply, that her Royal Highness's absence
would be but temporary, and i: the Noble Losd
would pledge himself to take proper precautions for
insuring her Royal Highness's early return, be
should have no great objections to the visit. But if
•he should find that it was the intention of her Royal
Highness, as expressed either by bet self, or by any 1
•
lof the Ministers of the Crown, to leave this country
for the purpose of taking up her permanent abode on
the Continent, against such a step he must protest
most solemnly. The present was not a time that
would admit of many observations (the Usher of the
Black snag every moment expected), but he could not,
refrain from *lag the only opportunity which was
afforded him of declaring that he stood perfectly clear
from any interference or knowledge on this subk•ct.
This he felt himself to be the more imperiously caVed
upon to state, because, on the recent question ss silt
respect to the augmentation of her Royal Highness
the Princess of Wales's income, be and an Hon.
Friend of his, not then present (Istr.Whithread), had
been the only two Members on that side of the House
who had taken an active part in the proceeding.—
On that, and on every other occasion, in which the
consideration of her Royal Highres.'s situation bad
been involved, be had uniformly and distinctly de-
clared that so far from having either directly or in-
directly advised her Royal Highness, he had never
in his fife uttered a single word to her Royal High-
ness, and had never even had the honour of being In-
troduced to her. That declaration be solemnly re-
peated, because out of doors it was not impossible but
that an impression of a contrary nature might be
made by what bad occurred. For the increase of
htr Royal Highness's establis'iment he certainly had
voted; but he protested that he had not done so on
mere pecuniary grounds, but becsnse site c-nceived,
that by obtaining that additional grant her Royal
Highness would chew the world, that she had the
countenance and support of the House of C m-
mons, and that they considered her to be entitled
to their protection. But if, at the bottom of Vat
proposition, there existed any arrangement savour
ing of an understanding that the public sh iuld be
deemed to have paid the rice of her RI yat High-
ness's quitting the country, in that arrangement, if
it did exist, be solemnly protested that he had no
hand. He would not have voted for the addi-
tional grant bad he supposed such a thing possible.
He was sure the House would not have acceded to it
had they supposed such a thing possible. He was
sure that the House acqu.esceo in the proposition only
because they wished that tier Royal Highness should
be enabled to maintain her,renk with aueepate splen-
dour in this cs.untry. If any such scheme us that to
which he had anodes! was 'actua:l, in contemplation,
he trustefl that the Noble Lord was nut a party to it,
and he hoped that the Noble Lord would take care
that the public should not be burdened by its conse-
quences. He repeated his conviction that Parliament
hail not entertained eny such idea as to vote an addi.
tional income to her Royal Highness for the purpose
of its being spent abroad. The only justifiable ground
of that vote, even in its reduced state, was, that it
was necessary to the proper splendour of her Royal
Highness in this country. If, notwithstanding, her
Royal Highness should go abroad, he trusted that
the Ministers of the Crown would take care that no
remittances should be sent from this country without
the leave of Parliament. He bad been induced to
make these observations by the persuasion that the
course which he had pursued on this subject had ex-
posed him to much misconstruction, from the effects
of which he was desirous to guard himself by once
more solemnly protesting against die,departure of her
Royal Highness, and calling on Ministers to prevent
any remittances from being tent abroad, without the
sanction of Parliament.

Lord CASTLEREAGH confessed, that he felt
great difficulty to determine in what light he was to
' consider the observations which the Honourable Gen-
tleman had just made. He had understood the Ho.
nourable Gentleman to say, that he wished merely to
ask some questions; instead of which, the Honour-
able Gentleman had thought proper to make a speech,
and a speech of considerable extent. As to the ques-
tions themselves, he must say, that the Honourable
Gentleman was a little unfortunate in his selection
of the person to whom he addressed them. An
Honourable Friend of the Honourable Gentleman's,
not then present, must he much better acquainted
with her Royal Highn ss the Princess of Wales's in-
tentions, being much more in the confidence of her
Royal Highness than he (Lord C istlereagh) had the
honour to be. For his part, he knew nothing of lu-r
Royal Highness's intentions; all he knew, was, that
her Royal Highness had signified to one of his Ma-
jesty's Ministers, in order that it might be communi.
sated to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, her
Royal Highness's intention to go to the Contin:•rt.

convenience might induce her to take
up her abode.
Mr. Tic RNEY was sure that the House must be
snrprised to hear from the Noble Lord that the resi-
dence.
of her Royal Highness the Pule( ss of Wales
in England was to be considered an imprisonment.
The Noble Lord had just declared that he did not
know what were her 1t0y..1 Highness!' intentions in
going to the Continent. This he would say, that
when her Royal Highness applied to his Majesty's
Ministers on the subject they betrayed their trust if
th;y did not inform themselves thoroughly of the na•
tun: of her Royal Highness's intentions. As the pro.
ceedings of the House would necessarily b.: interrupted
in a few minutes he felt it to be a point of candour to

which presented thentsel vent° his mind, but to which
it svotel be impossible that he should receive Pity reply.

what were her Royal Highness's intentions, although
the Noble Lord had not been so. He would say no

COMMIRCIAL INTERCalltrt WITH ?RANCE.
Sir FRANCIS BURDETT wished to ask his
M.ijesty's Ministers a question. It had been recently
rumoured that a proposition had been made by the
Government of France to the Gethaerraent of Eng-
land to admit all articles the respective predate of the
two countries, reciprocally, on the payment of a lest
duty—he believed 10 per cent. ad "dorm. From chit
prop•bition such great advantages seemed likely to
arise to Gem Britain, that he wished to know who.
ther it had actually been made f IF it had, be hoped
it had been met in a similar spirit of lberality oq
our part.
Land CASTLEREAGH replied, that the Hon.
Baronet might rest assured that any proposition made
to the British Government which was founded on the
principles of a liberal commercial intercourse with
other nations would certainly be received with the ut-
most cordiality and attention. It could not be ex•
pected, however, that he would at present state any
thing with respect to any precise proposition that
mi6ht have been made by any foreign power.
