THE LATE MR. PERCEVAL.

After a considerable pause,
Lord cAsTLER.EAGH moved, that Mr. Lush-
ittgron have leave to report frohi the Committee.of
the whole House, upon the Message of his Royal
Highness the Prince, respecting the Provision for the
Widow and Family of the late Right lion. Spencer
Mr. LUSIIINGTON appeared at the Bar with
the Rep..rt.
On the question for bringing it up,
Mr. H. SUNINER rose, and observed, that after
he quitted the House the preceding evening, he un-
derstoed an acraegement had been made upon the
subject of the provision for the family of the late Mr.
Perceval, to which he would not give his consent.—
The two first Resolutions (three having been come to
by the Committee) had passed. withoutany objection,
but the third, !epic!) he had the honour to propose,
had been postpenM for further consideration. Thus
giving to that Iresolution, which had met with the
concurrence of a large majority of the House, a
doubtful aspect. The operation of the postponement
would have the effect of disparaging that Resolution,
and if in,proposing it he had merely stood in the si-
tuation Ed. an insulated individual, he should have
considered himself bouni to protect his motion, but
he stood in a very different light; he was protected
and supported in it by a majority of from six or seven
to one in its favour. If the Report was now brought
up, and any objection made to the third Resolution,
he should feel the necessity for pressing the House to
a division on its adoption or rejection.
Lord CAqI.EREAGII had no obir: tion to the
Resolution, at least, he had been friendly for unani-
mity on the occasion, and he trusted the lion. Gen-
tleman would see how desirable it was. At present,
as the Rouse was waiting to go up with the Address,
it might be as well if the Report was firelight up,
and then after the asvembly of the Rouse at five
o'clock, on the return from Carlton House, should
any difference of opinion arise, the Report might be
discussed. The Report it as then leought up, and
nrdered to be taken into fuither consideration at five
o'clock.

THE ADDRESS.
The SPEA KER. then acquainted the House that;
the time was arrived (half past two o'clock) ter go- I
ittg
ty with the Address, accordingly, the House
adjourned till live o'clock, and the Right Hon. Gen- I
tleman, accompanied by Lord Castlereagh and. Mr. I
Pottionby (th`4l.Mover and Seconder), and the whole
of the House, proceeded in their carriages to Carl-
ton House.
Soon after five o'clock the Gallery was re-opened,
when the SPEAKER. stated, that the House, in
pursuance of its Resolution, had waited upon the ;
l'riace Regent with the Address, to which his Royal l
Ilighttess had been pleased to return a most gracious
answer, to thu following effect :
" I !Teri ve with !ail-faction the a,,suranee that you. will en-
nhlc meta provide fur the widow and family of the late Right
lion. Spencer Pdrceval.
" It is a most benevolent mock. of disposing of the public
money, aud nue most gratifying to my feeling. in marking with I
peculiar diitinction, the family of au individual, whose talents
and virtues h td been snatched by au act of unparalleled aftocity,
from the service of Nis country."
OR.DERS IN COUNCIL.
Mr. NI.kRRYAT I', itt- the :limner! of an lion. '1
Alderman, Member for the City of London, pre-
voted a Petition from certain Merchants, Ship-own-
ers, and Traders of the City of London, in favour
of the Orders in Council, praying that the same
may not be repealed, but be continued, as a retalia-
tory system against the enemy, until the .Orders of
the enemy are revoked. The Petition was laid on
the table.
