IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS. TUrSDAY, JAN. 27. This day, shortly after Wer o'clock, the Lord Chancellor, with the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury, the Earl of Har. roethy, the Earl of Westmorland, and the Doke of Montrose, u Lords Commissioners, entered the House; and as soon as the House of Commons, attended by their Speaker, in rouse_ (pence of the usual summons, appeared at the bar, his Lord sl►ih read the Speech as follo%s :-- •• My Loaas, sad G) artystrls. " We ate commanded by :as Royal Flightless the Prince Regent to infortn you, that it is with great concern that he is obliged to an. nounce to you the coati:llona of his Majesty's lamented indispo sition._ " The Prince Regent is persuaded that you will deeply participate in the affliction with which his Royal Highness has been visited, by the calamitous and untimely death of his beloved and only child the Princess Charlotte. " Under this awful dispensation of Providence, it has Deena sooth ing consolation to the Praia Regent's heart, to receive from all de scriptions of his Majesty's subjerts the most cordial assurances, both of their just sense of the loss which they have sustained, and of their svmpathy with his parental sorrow ; and amidst his own suffer ings, his Royal Highness has not been unmindful of the effect which this sad event must have on the interests and future prospects of the kingdom. " We are commanded to acquaint you, that the Pritee Regent continues to receive from Foreign Powers the strongest a.au eleeese f their friendly disposition towards this country, and of their desire to maintain the general tranquillity. " His Royal Highness has the satisface.on of being able to assure yen, that the confidence which he has invariably felt in the stability of the great sources of our national prosperity has not been disap pointed. " The improvement which has taken place in the course of the last year in einem every branch of our domestic indusuy, and the pre• sent state of public credit, afford abundant proof that the difficulties under which the country was hibouring were chiefly to be ascribed to temporary causes. " So impottant a change could Dot fail to withdraw from the dis• affected the principal means of which they had availed themselves for the purpose of fomenting a spirit of discontent. which unhappily led to arts of insurrection and treason ; and his Royal Highness enter tales the most confident expectation that the state of peace and tran quility to which the country is now restored, will be inaintained against all attempts to disturb it, by the persevering vigilance of the Magietracy, and by the loyalty and good sense of the people. GENTLEMEN OF Till: House OF CONt3IONS. " The Prince Regent has directed the estimates t'ur the current year to be laid before you. " His Rural fliglineee recommends to your continued attention the state of die public income and expenditure of the country; and lie is most happy in being able to acquaint you, that since you were last assembled in Parliament, the revenue Iris been in a state of progres sive iiiipnweinnet in its most important trtat " V LORDS, AND GENTLEMEN. " Weare commareled by the Prince Regent to inform you, that be has concludeltreaties with the Courts of Spain and Portugal, on the important anted of the abolition of the slave-trade. " f lit, Royal II igehese has directed that a copy of the former treaty shall be itnniediately laid before you, and he will order 2i similar communication to be made of die latter treaty, as soon as the ratifica tion of it shall have ewe' exchanged. " In these negeciations, it has been his Royal Highness's endes your, as far as circumstances would permit, to give effect to the re commendations contained in the joint Addresses of the two Honses of Parliament, and his Royal Highness has a full reliance on your rea diness to adopt such immures as may be necessary for fulfilling the eugastements into which he has entered for that purpose. "'The Prince Regent has commanded us to direct your particular attention to the deficiency which has long existed in the number of plates of public worship belonging to the Established Church, when compared with the increased and increasing population of the country. " His Royal Highness most earnestly recommends this imp - emit subject to your early consideration, deeply impressed, as he hss no doubt you are, with a just sense of the many blessings which this country, by the favour of Divine Providence, has enjoyed ; and with the conviction, that the !religious and moral habits of the people are the most sure and firm foundation of national prosperity." Earl ‘VHITWORTIf took the oaths and his seat. Their Lordship then adjourned till live o'clock. ‘Vhen they again assembled, Lord HOLLAND rose to say a few words on the act passed last session of' Parliament for the suspension of the act of Habeas Corpus. He did trust and hope, that the Noble Lord or some of his Majesty's Ministers, intended to move the re peal of that Act, as a kind of act of grace, after they had so wantonly and so unnecessarily suspended so great a protee- ; tion of the freedom of the subject. The leading topic of the ' speech which their Lordships had heard, was one on which no man M that house could hold any but one opinion ; and every man, he was sure, would concur with him in lamenting the occasion of that topic's having been introduced. The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, that if the Noble Lord had waited till the due course of business, he would have heard what would certainly take place during the evening. If lie had widitil till that subject was more immediately under cue sidetation, he would have heard his Noble Friend melee a preposition exactly such as the Noble Lord himself wished. ADDRESS TO THE PRINCE BEGENT. The Earl of A xi.eseort la, in nosing the usual Adt/rese, de plored the loss which the country had sustained in the death of her Royal Highness the Princess Charlotte. He glanced at the difficulties akiolt the country had had to contend with, and rejoiced drat the present aspect of atiUirs seas more gratifying. Lord Series seconded the motion. He dwelt upon the topics of the speech at some length, and cen t taWlatcd flee country on the escape which we had had from ali the horrors of snatchy. Earl STA NiOrli began by avowing his independerece in po. litics. and by deprecating all systematic opposition to the government. He' thought the measures which had been adapted to suppress the mullahs which had arisen ire the comae try hail been most effectual, and that the administration had, with great abi!lty, steered the vessel of the state iii safety theougli aanost dangerous storm. He combated at soiree length the argument,' of those who had contetith•d, that the Allies had co right to interfere in the internal affairs of France; . but he would say, -that as the Allies had twice conquered France, they had aright to dispose of her ae they thought ti . For his part, lie was of opinion that the best mode of teem. inrher, would have been to divide her into three merle, and create new dynasties upon the newly erected throne.. A. things were; however, he was decidedly of opinion, that Louis XVIII. nmed his present existence, as a king, to the al Ma It the Allies, .nd as the peace of Europe depended on tleraiii France, he would strongly opuuae the withdrawing of the army eerier:upsilon. The Margins of Leesnowese deplored the•calamity whirl, had visited We coulee . , and thouilit that the .expression of FEB 3. public opinion upon it had heels such as must convince every man that the people were well affected to the House which rules over them. There were parts in the Address to which he could not give his concurrence, although he did te t intend to move any amendment. He meant those parts which pro_ plied a doubt that the tranquillity of the country could havq been restored by less violent means than the Suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act. After all the trials which had taken place, could tin it Lordships believe that there bad been any thing like an organized conspiracy e Even at Derby, wh ere the evidence had been the strongest, and where execution bad followed conviction, 18 dragoons had been sufficient to quell the whole rebellion. The Earl of LivcrtPooL dekoded the eoprse which minis.. tere had pursued, on the ground that their Lordships' report and subsequent information, had showed that the state of the country was such as to require extraordinary means to tran quilite it. In reference to our relations with France, his Lordship observed, that the great object of this country. was to preserve the peace of Europe, and the course which his Majesty's Government was resolved to pursue, was such as would most effectually accomplish that object. The Addre:.s was then agreed to. _ On the motion of the Fllll Lie en POOT,, an address of con dolence was ordered to be presented to her Majesty on the death of the Princess Charlotte. Lord St n stouTn, in order that the bill for repealing the sns. pension of the Habeas Corpus Act might pass through all its stages to-morrow, now moved that the standing orders regn. luting the reading of bilk be suspended. Agreed to. Tim Earl of LivEttemit., in einkerptence of Mr. Rose, who has succeeded liis father'ilr eleik of Parliament, being abroad, moved that Henry Cooper, Esq. be authorised to sign papers and bills in his stead. Lord HOLLAND observed, that as this was a patent office, the House was placed in the situation of having persons r_ pointed as their Lordship's clerk OVer %%limn they had no control. He proposed that a committee should b e a p po i nte d to inquire into the causes which had produced the circum stances in which the House was placed, and to report thereon. The Earl of LIN ElivonL thought it would be bet ter to wai t until the patent should he laid on the table. When that dc canwnt was! before their Lurd.hips , it would be proper fel them to determine what proceedings ought to be instituted. The motion he proposed was, at present, the ouly course which could be taken. After a few word, front Lord GROSVENOR, the 'notion Naa agreed to, and the }lowa adjourned. WI?ON ES U,l Y. The Earl of LtcenpooL laid on the table copies of the treaties between his Catholic Majesty and his Britannic Ma. jest respecting the discontinuance of the Slave Trade by the subjects of Spain. REPEAL OF THE SUWENSTON OF THE HABEAS CORPUS. Lord SIO,IOUTH presented a Bill for repealing the Act passed in the last F essiou of Parliament, to empower his Ma jesty to seciore and detain persons suspected of conspiring , against lois :Majesty's person and goveroorneut.—The Bill ‘,." then read a first time. After n loch, on Lord Sidnotith's notion, the standing order, No. 3ti, relative to the progress of public bills %as read and sn•pended. _ His Lordship next moved the Ferind reading of the Riti he had introduced for repealing the Habeas Corpus Suspen sion Act. Lord HOLLAND, thong!, he certainty did not rise to oppose the motion, could not avoid saying a few words On the cir cumstances which had led to it. Belie% ing, as he did, that the whole of their Lordships' proceedings in passing, the Act far suspending the Habeas Corpus •had rested upon garbed and unfeir evidence, he must state that he could rot be satis. fuel with the mere repeal of that Act, and that he thought an inquiry into the grounds on which it had been passed ought to be instituted. '1 he right which had been snspended, he wished to remind them, was nut one which had been granted by any Act of Parliament whatever. 'Die personal liberty of the people was no concession. It was a tight antecedent to any statute, and equal to the right of their Lordships to vote in that House, or to the right of the King to sit on the throne. He did not mean to say that there was any elisolutso limitation to the power of Parliament on this subject, w lien circumstances rendered such a stretch of power iudispensihle; hut he did say, that to suspend this right of the people was an act of as great violence as to suspend the perogatives of the Crown, and could only he justified by the clearest evidence of the most overwhelming necessity. lbasere was any dis loth:ince or conspiracy to be found that could justify such a measure? It was not to be found in any uf the legal proceed. hogs which bad taken place in this metropolis or even at Derby. Dill it appear in any of the proceedings which had taken place in Scotland? A dreadfnl oath, an oath which •.%: - .S nut fit to he publicly elated, it was said, had been taken in in that country. Ministers, it was asei ted, had the fullest evidence of a most extensive conspiracy, but which evidence they did not choose to disclose. Well, their Law 0:11cei s proceeded to try these conspirators and • ath-takers is Scot land. At first, theirlaidietment was wrong; a new indict ment was preferred; but, after all, they failed in provin4 that any illegal oath had hewn taken. None of these proceedings afforded any appearance °fa necessity for the measure which Ministets had iecoinmencied and which Pal hament had been induced to adopt. Bat the Noble Lail (Liverpool) had de. Glared that lie was ready to prove, not only that the teeasare was justified by the state of the country at the time, hut that it hail been productive of the greatest advantages. That the country was in better circumstances now time last year he was happy iv believe ; but whatever imp' ovement had taken place, certainly wits not owing to the stispeitiou of the Habeas Corpus Act. If a Committee should be instituted, it must lint he formed as that of last year had been. The inquiry, :o give satisfaction. tbe tiitunte and complete. If a Com mittee should he agreed to, it utight to I,e an open one, to which all their Lordship :wall have access ; and Men he might bore, that no evidence would he permitted to be garbled Us' withheld, as, lie was assured, could be plover, to have been done by Ministers hi the Committee of last year. Information had hien received by Ministers which would have tended to counteract the itopression of other evi. deure before the Committee, but which had never come to their kande. This was a subject which called for a strict Lust Si trampris did not expect that the Noble Lord would Lave thought it psup. r , on the present occasion, to address to tit. r Lordhhir alawevatsoub of the natuae of those they had yowl heard. Tlw Nuide Lord had stated, that there was MI ,'essay foe the .Art ot lam Ae• , ion... Of .thia !!C she-reptat made by the Committee - oh, Ille ille11:!:e ---I"r4 Act woes ptro~rd , atiOrded its complete lotutation. The v)l,:e Lord had also asserted, that the cv;duncr.
