PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS.

mestic events it must be a consolation to learn that
during the last year, a considerable improvement
had taken place in our commerce and manufactures,
for it was upon these our national prosperity
depended; but while he was upon this subject he
could not help regretting that such prosperity did
not exist in that part of the United Kingdom with
which he was more immediately connected. He
then read the Address, which was (as in all such
cases) an echo of the Speech.
Lord PRUDHOE said, the Noble Lord who had
just spoken had so fully entered into the matter of
the Speech, that nothing was,Jeft for him to say.
They must all agree that the situation of our foteign
relations was most satisfactory. The reduction in
the army must be universally satisfactory I and they
must admit that it was essential to the interests of
England that the digresses of Ireland should be re-
lieved. He concluded by seconding the Address.
Earl GREY said, it was not his intention at this

lity but bare min-elite NV As Mk the line of conduct
which so great and powerful a nation as England
should have pursued en such an odasion. When he
saw a set of Sovereigns sitting at Laybach, and sum-
moning before their tribunal the ring of an hide-
pendent country; to give an accotmt nf changes
which had occurred in the internal Concerns of that
country, he could not describe the astonishment and
indignation which he felt at such arrogant preten-
sinus ; and he thought that our Ministers; msteutl of
being passive spectators of those events, ought not
to have given any sort of countenance to their reso-
lutions; or to any of the measures of Monarcht who
held out such an unwarsantable doctrine as that of
saying that.no improvement should take place in any
country except by their leave. These Allied Sove
reigns were attempting to interfere in the internal
concerns if a kingdom which had effected a revolii
lution in its Government with as little cruelty and
as little confusion as had ever been witnessed in any
part of the world on any similar occasion. The
Neapolitans had done nothing hostile to the trans
quillity of other countries, and what right had foreign
Sovereigns to prevent them from making a refor,
relation in their Government? At all this he could
not help expressing the deepest indignation; particu-
larly when he consichored that we had no accredited
Minister at the Neapolitan Court. When he saw the
Austrian armies on the frontiers, and a British squaL
dion in the Lay of Naples, the one appearing as if
ready to co-operate with the other, he would ask if
this was a symptom of strict neutrality on the part
of England? He might say much more on this sub=
ject, but he sincerely hoped the peace of this couni
try would not be interrupted, but that it would be
preset ved, and that the independence of other nations
would be respected. Little indeed could we have to
boast of our brilliant successes in the late war, or of
our influence in Europe, if the combined Powers
forming the Holy Alliance could not be revelled or
restrained by the remonstrances of England. This;
however, must be the subject of another debate, and
then it was to he hoped that Ministers would be able
to give every necessary information to Parliament.
He could not help expressing his satisfaction that a
reduction was to be made in the Military Establish-
ment of the country; and he hoped the reduction
would be considerable. He was sure that, with a
conciliatory system, and with a just attention to the
wants and wishes of the People, instead of imposing
new burthens and restraints on them, a considerable
reduction might be made in the public expenditure.
Even for the maintenance of our free Constitutions-
it was well that we should depart from our present
military system, which had been growing upon us
for so many years. It gave him great satisfaction to
find that an arrangement had, at last been deter.
mined on respecting the Civil List, and sorry he was
that it had been so long delayed. He would now
ask, hoar it came to be deferred ? and why the late
prorogation of Parliament had taken place in so ex-
traordinary a manner, and at a time when that
House had the most painful duties to perform ? The
prorogation had also taken place without the accus-
tomed Speech from the Throne, and without any
explanation. He was glad, however, that an esta,
blishment was to be provided for the Queen ; and
be hoped that the subject respecting her Majesty
would now be put to rest, and that there would be
an end to all agitation upon it. He hoped that such
would be the spirit of the measures intended to be
proposed by Ministers. He would now reserve himL.
self for future occasions, when other subjects re-
lating to the Speech should come on for discussion ;
and he should be sincerely happy to see Ministers
resorting to a system of policy different from that
which they had hitherto pursued.-
The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, he should not
trouble their Lordships long in replying to what had
fallen from the Noble Lord opposite; because his
objections to the Address were rather of a negative;
than a positive kind. But he could not allow the
Noble Lord's speech to pass without some comment,
lest it should be supposed that he acquiesced in the
sentiments which it contained. As to what had been
said about the sentiments of loyalty which had been
expressed by people in different parts of the country,
he knew that a distinction was made between loyalty
to the Throne, and an approval of the conduct of
nisters ; but he wished to know what was meant by
the declaration, that there ought to be a change its
the system by which the Government had hitherto
been carried on. If the Noble 'Lord expected that
Ministers should propose such a change, he must tell
the Noble Lord that no such proposal should he
made, for it was to such a system as that which now
existed, that the country was indebted for all e•se
greatness and the blessiegs it now had to boast of;
and this was the opinion of all the respectable and
thinking part of the community. The measures of
Ministers might sometimes be erroneous; but it did
not follow that in order to correct them, there should
be a change in the system of the Government, which
would be tantamount to a revolution. ‘Vith respect
to the improvements which were stated in his Ma-
jesty's Speech to have taken place in certain branches
of our commerce, the Noble Lord seemed to be unds
some mistake. All the Speech Said was, that in cer-
tain parts of onr commerce and manufactures, grea
improvement had taken place. Agriculture was not
by name directly adverted to; but an allusion was
made to it in the passage which spoke of the dis-
tresses under which a large part of the community
was suffering. Whenever the Noble Lord had :ivy
proposition of that kind to make, he (Lord Liver-
pool) would be ready to give him his assittance. A
twelvemonth ago, the gloat weight of distress fell
upon the Manefacturing Districts; but there ccr,
tainly was a great pre, sure on the Aericula
rest, and he wished to caution the Public again t
giving way to any rash expectation of a remedy on
that subject, which, without producing any benefit,
might cause a great deal of mischief. Some years
ago, just at the conclusion of a long war, a remedy

HOUSE OF LORDS, JANUARY 33.

Thh being the day fixed by Proclamation for the meeting of
Parliament, his Mi./v.syr, 'attended by the principal Officers of
State and the Household, came down to the House about two
o'clock and opened the Session. Sir Tuonas TTawnirr, Usher
of the Black Rod, was directed to summon the Commons and
on their appearance at the Bar, his AIAJESTY delivered the fol-
lowing Speech :
" My Lords and Gentlemen,
7" I have the satisfaction of acquainting yoti, that
I continue to receive from Foreign Powers the
strongest assurances of their friendly disposition to-
wards this country.
" It will be a matter of deep regret to me, if the
occurrences which have lately taken place in Italy
should eventually lead to any interruption of tran-
quillity in that quarter ; but it will, in such case, be
my great object to secure to my people the tontinu-
auce of peace.
" Gentlemen of Me House of Commons,
" The measures by which, in the last Session of
Parliament, you made provision for the expenses of
my Civil Government, and for the honour and dig-
nity of the Crown, demand my warmest acknow-
ledgments.
" I have directed that the Estimates for the cur-
rent )ear shall be laid before you; and it is a
satisfaction to me to have been enabled to make some
reduction in our Military Establishments.
" You will observe from the Accounts of the Pub-
lic Revenue, that notwithstanding the Receipts in
Ireland have proved materially deficient, in conse-
quence of the unfortunate circumstances which have
affected the Comma cial Credit of that part of the
United Kingdom, and although our Foreign Trade,
during the early part of this time, was in a state of
depression, the total Revemie has, nevertheless, ex-
ceeded that of the preceding year.
" A considerable p.trt of this increase must be
ascribed to the new Taxes t but in some of those
branches which are the surest indicatiens of internal
wealth, the augmentation his fully realized any expec-
tation which could have been reasonably formed of it.
" The separate provision which was made for the
Queen, as Princess of Wales, in the year 'lBl4, ter-
minated with the demise of his late Majesty.

time to offer anything to their Lordships which was
likely, to produce a debate; for there was nothing in
the Address just moved which he could object to.
But at the same time he must observe, that the Speech
to which it was an answer, fell far short of the real
fact in its statettent of the distresses of the country,
and was not strictly correct in its assertions respect-
ing the feelings expressed by the People of the coun-
try. He was sure that there were none of those per-
sons who had been under the painful necessity of op-
posing the measures of Ministers, who did not feel as
warm an attachment for the person and Government
of their Sovereign, as those who were making the
loudest professions of loyalty. As to those which
which were called Loyal Addresses, he had some
doubt as to their extent, and whether Ministers could
reckon upon them in the manner stated in the Speech ;
for he beliived there never was a more universal ex-
pression of public opinion, than what had lately been
witnessed all over the couniry, relative to the con,
duct of Ministers. Indeed, all the declarations made
by the People, evinced the most loyal attachment to
his Majesty, but at the same time they were accom-
panied by expressions of disapprobation respecting
the conduct of his Ministers, and the measures of his
Majesty's Government. Therefore, if it was intended
on this occasion to infer, that there prevailed through-
out the country any approbation of the measures of
Ministers, he must deny such inference, because he
knew the general opinion of the People of England,
to be most unfavourable to their measures—at least,
he knew it to be so in that part of the country where
he lately resided. Giving credit then, as he did, to
the People of England for their attachment to the
Government, and their obedience to the laws, he was
sure they would repel every attempt to represent the
present Ministers as actuated by any feelings for good
government : he was sorry to say, that he did not
perceive in the Speech from the Throne, any symptom
expressive of a disposition to relinquish the present
system of government—which system, if continued,
would involve the country in ruin—(Har, hear).—
But after the expression of public opinion, which had
already been manifested all over the country, he
hoped the House would adopt such a line of policy
as would serve to alter that system wi.ich had been,
unhappily, pursued during six years of peace. The
Speech from the*Throne „stated, that the situation of
the country had been materially benefited by the
great improvements which were said to have taken
place in our commerce and manufactures. He hoped
that this statement would not prove fallacious. There
might, indeed, be an improvement in some particu-
lar branches of trade ; but as far as he was able to
see, from the observations he had made in different

Printed for William [lone, Ludgate-hill. Country orders,
with remittances, duly executed.

" I have, in the meantime, directed advances, as
authorized by law ; and it will, under present cir-
cumstances, be for you to consider what new ar-
rangements should be made on this subject.
" My Lords and Gentlemen,
44 I have great pleasure in being able to acquaint
you, that a considerable improvement has taken place
within the last half year in several of the most impor-
tant branches of our Commerce and Manufactures;
and that, in many of the Manufacturing Districts, the
distresses which prevailed at the commencement of
the last Session of Parliament have greatly abated.
" It will be my most anxious desire to concur in
every measure which may be considered as calculated
to advance our internal prosperity. .
" I well know that, notwithstanding the agitation
produced by temporary circumstances, and amidst
the distress which still presses upon a large portion of
my Subjects, the firmest reliance may be placed on
that affectionate and loyal attachment to my Person
and Government, of which I have recently received
so many testimonies from all parts of my Kingdom ;
and which, whilst it is most grateful to the strongest
feelings of" my heart, I shall ever consider as the best
and surest safeguard of my Throne.
" In the discharge of the important duties imposed
upon you, you will, I am confident, be sensible of the
indispensable necessity of promoting and maintaining
to the utmost of your power, a due obedience to the'
laws, and of instilling into all classes of my subjects,
a respect for lawful authority, and for those estab-
lished institutions under which the country has been
enabled to overcome so many difficulties, and to
which, under PROVIDENCE, may •be ascribed our
happiness and renown as a Nation."
At a quarter past two his MAJESTY quitted the
House of Lords, and returned to Carlton Palace in the
same State in which he went.
The LORD CHANCELLOR laid on the table the
Annual Indemnity Bill, which was read a first time.
The LORD CHANCELLOR then read his Ma-

parti of England, he was sure there were no symp-
toms of internal improvement on which great reliance
could be placed. There was one branch of our na-
tional industry, he meant our agriculture, to which
no reference whatever had been made in the Speech.
In that branch, he could assure the House, that not

only no improvement had takeri place in that pan of
the country, at least, to which he belonged, but that
it had experienced a most melancholy falling off. It
was impossible for him to reconcile such a failure as
this with an improved state of the manufactures ; yet
thd fact was, that cur agriculture was labouring un-
der the greatest embarrassments, and that no pros-
pect of relief, at this moment, existed. In stating
this fact, he begged not to be understood as demand-
ing any new Corn Laws, which, he thought, would
do more harm than good; but he wished to call the
attention of the Government to the state of the fact,
as it now existed. He should dext come to a very
material part of the King's Speech—that which re-
lated to our exterior policy. On this part of the sub-
ject, he was happy to hear, that pacific assurances
had oeen made towards this country by foreign
Powers ; for nothing could be so indispensable to-
wards realizing the hopes we now entertained of re-
lief from public distress, as the prospect of a long
continuance of peace ; and he hoped it would he the
constant policy of his Majesty's Government to pre-
serve the country in a state of peace. But he was
sorry he had heard nothing respecting a subject
which ought to be developed. He was sorry not to
be able to discover any of that policy which it be-
came a liberal nation to adopt. The present cer-
tainly \vas not the time to discuss the point to which
he alluded ; but he hoped the House would shortly
be put in possession of those materials which would
serve to elucidate it. He was sorry that our Govern-
ment had not taken such steps as were necessary to
• secure the public tranquillity of Europe. It appeared,
that the Kingdom of Naples was in such a state with
regard to this country, that the ordinary relations did
not exi st between them by means of an accredited Minis-
' ter. When he considered that power which was called
the holy Alliance—when he considered that there was
a British Minister with that power, carrying on the
accustomed relations between it and this country, he
was sorry, and was surprised to find, that similar re-
lations were not kept up with the nation whose de-
I struction the Holy Alliance was now aiming at. It
was indeed said, that they were in a state of Amara-

jesty's Speech, and the same being again read by
the Clerk,

Lord BELMORE rose to move the Address. He
said it was the paramount duty of their Lordships
to express their affectionate regards to his Majesty
and the Constitution of the Country; because it was
impossible not to deplore that unlawful and licen-
tious spirit which had lately gone abroad through
the country ; and which was set going by persons
whose designs were to overturn every existing esta-
blishment—(Near, hear). It was therefore neces-
sary to take every step that could serve to check that
spirit. On the other hand it must be grateful to
their Lordships to perceive the loyal attachment
which was manifested in most parts of the country
towards his Majesty's Person and Governmeat; and
the general wish that prevailed to preserve the Con-
stitution
of the country. It must also at such a time 1
as the present, be a matter of
.the greatest satisfac- '
tion to reflect that his Majesty had received from
foreign Powers the fullest assurances of friendship ;
and that there was therefore reason to hope for a
long continuance of peace. Indeed it would be a
matter of the deepest regret if there were anythirg
likely to disturb the general tranquillity that row
prevailed over Europe; or to prevent this country
from preserving the blessing of peace. Another sub-
-1 ject of sincere gratification to every one was the re-
duction which his Alajesty proposed to make in the
military establi.hment of the country ; which might
be considered as the sui est pledge of those measures
of retrenchment and economy that were hereafter to
be expected. Hitt it was impossible for the people
16f this country to remain indifferent spectators of
the events which were now passing on the Continent
of Europe, and 'which were under the consideration
off the continental Powers, and with regard to do-
