bAY,

The Noble Earl then referred tbilie lint*nage of the
lletias, sigma by the Physicians, which he consi-
dered very different in their impart from what the
Physicfians described to the Committee to have, been
the situation of his Majesty at the corresponding pe-
riods. He contended, that no man from a perusal
of these papers, could have known tie state the Save-
reignwas actually in at thetime. Upon the whole,when
he viewed this part of the subject, on which, appa-
ready, a degree of delusion existed, equally injurious
and reprehensible, he thought, That as the accounts
given through those different-channels were so ma-
terially contradictory, the best expedient for arriving
at the real truth, and the actual state of the Sove-
reign's health, would be a re-examination of the Phyv
sictans, as those Gentlemen were in high estimation
in the 'world for their great professional skill. He
'thought such a proceedutg was due to the dignity of
Parliament, and necessary for the information of the
Public at large, and as such he would earnestly re-
commend its-adoption.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL did not conceive
micassoli to trouble:their Lordships with any obser-
listines, in consequence of what had fallen from the
Noble Earl, farther than to say, that he, and those
with whom he had the honour to act, were ready at
any time to fully discus's and justify the line of con-
duct adopted, under all the circumstances to which
the Noble Earl had referrFd. He thought the dis-
cussion of such a topic would he highly irregular and
inopportune in the present state of their Lordships'
proceedings; he would therefore move the Order of
the Day.
The question being put from the Woolsack, their
Lordships accordingly resolved into a Committee of
the Whole House on

THE STATE OE THE NATION,
And Lord %VAL-IMO/IAM having taken the Chair, the
Resolutions communicated by the Commons were
then read by the Clerk, on which
The Earl of LIVERPOOL rose and said, «I now
feel myself called ••pon to address your Lordships
upon the very important subject under your consider-
ation, and to call your particular attention to those
Resolutions votee. and communicated to us by the
.'House of Common, which you have just heard read,
ATpon the first of these Resolutions, my Lords, I
think at this time, unfortunately, there can arise no
'difference of opinion. In discharging the painful duty
imposed on us by the statement of the melancholy
fact referred to in this Resolution, I am persuaded it
is intr. sible, to do justice to those feelings, by any
attempt of mine to express them, with which we are
101 l actuated by so afflicting a circumstance. I can-
, not, however, help expressing the anxious hope we all
must entertain on the restoration of a gracious and
beloved Sovereign, under whose ausp....s, for more
than fifty years, we have enloyed a portion of liberty
' and uninterrupted tranquillity, which was never ezw.,
Ovid by say odor country oa the face of the glob
and I feel we all must look with pleasing satisfaction
tb the hopes held out of the re-establishment of his
Majesty's health, and the hope of the ultimate re-
sumption, by himself, of the personal exercise of his
royal authority. Notwithstanding, my Lords, what
I have heard this night or on former occasions, I can
take no blame to myself, nor attach any to my col-.
leaf.. Tors ;n office, for those propositions we have from
zu.ke to time made, in the hope that these measures,
which now may eventually be necessary to adopt,
might have been avoided. In this view of the case, it
is impossible to consider the state in which the coun-
try may be involved under such circumstances—a si-
tuation in which it is now.nearly two centuries and an
half ago since it was placed under a Government in
any degree similar, which the afflicting consideration
we all deplore may render necessary. I say, my
Lords, when we reflect not only upon the difficulties
but the degree of danger naturally incident to such
changes, it is impossible that we should not pause
when any reasonable hope presented itself of our
being able to avoid such a state as that to which
I have alluded. It was our duty, as Ministers,
in such circumstances, and our duty to the Coun-
try, to endeavour to avoid it. Ido not say this,'
my Lards, from any considerations of a personal,
nature towards any individual, however exalted,
but from public grounds, and from publit princi-
ples. Under these impressions, I shall, at the pre.
sent moment, endeavour to avoid, as much as pos.
sible, the consideration and discussion of all ex-
traneous points, or of any matter foreign from the
subject regularly before us. If I decline entering
upon any of these topics, it it not from any particular
unwillingness, or desire to shrink from any such die.
cu lions, but because I feel they are not necessarily
involved in the questions now regularly before the
Committee. The present questions should be wholly '
considered on their own grounds, and their exclusive
merits, and not connected with any thing that may
tend to embarrass, instead of facilitating the discus-
sion. That now before us entirely and alone respects
the course and mode of the proceedings which it may
be necessary to adopt; and as far as this considera-
tion went, that is, Is to the form of our proceedings.i
I was induced-to think there would be so material.,
difference of opinim ; but as I uuderstend since, from
what has passed in this House, and in other places,
that it is intended not merely to ob.rect to the mode
in which it is proposed to fill op the temporary defi-
ciency in the Constitution, but also to oppose the
whole principle and course of the proceedings adopt-
ed in the year 1788. With respect, my Lads, to..
the principle of that great and salutary preeedentd
when I consider it so analogous to, and founded on, 1,
the genuine principles of the Constitution of this
Country • when I consider the great and eminent law
authorities who have given their decided and express •
sanction to that principle and course of proceeding,
I feel it a aluestion of so muck magnitude and im-
portance that I cannot avoid stating those general
principles, at least, on which, in my conviction, theth
resolutions are fouadad, and which I conceive to 1W
consonant m all thole great constitutional principles.
by which Z howdy& your Lordships would wish to
