He wished to save expense by applying met . already borrowed to our wants, rather than now further in order to increase our burdens. The House then divided—Ayes 39—Noes 117.-- ajority against the motion, 78. , SALT REVSNUS LAWS. Au WALLACE rose to move for leave to bring' a Bill to alter and amend the Revenue Laws on It and Rock Salt. Whatever difference of opinion night have prevailed as to the policy or necessity of the duties on this article, all were at least agreed, that while the laws connected with it continued in operation, they should be so framed as to press in the' htest possible manner upon the Public. When question was before the House upon a former °t rim, some grievances were alluded to, but he be .ied there was as little matter for discontent as was compatible with the colleition of . the duties. 'The Revalue from the article of Salt was 'about 1,600 Id the prosecutions, fompared with this amount, nnely few. Neither were the compromises numeroul, was stated upon a former occasion : they amounted ist year to IS, and the terms £357 :.the sum m ud was only 46.4- The : sairte might be said of . two preceding yeari . .... This shewed that the charges brought against a very deserving public offi cer (the Solicitor of the Revenue). were nqt well founded. The Honourable Gentleman, after touching upon some of the advantages that were intended by the measure to be conferred on poor fishermen, on agri:ultine, and on persons who had entered into bonds, concluded by moving for leave to bring in the 13111. Mr. C A LCR AFT seconded the motion. Not hav- 1g seen the Bill, he could not be acquainted with its provisions, but he hopel from what had fallen from the Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Wallace), that a lost useful measure would be produced. At the pre sent time he thought that it was impossibleto give up tat productive of 10 much benefit to the Revenue. After a few observations from Mr. TREMATNE and Mr. Ilium, leave was given to bring in the Bill. INLISTMANT IN FOARIGN SkRVICE. The ATTORNEY GENERAL rose to bring for ward his motion to prevent British subjectefror9 en listing in the service of Foreign Powers. The House was aware that the Sovereign had the power of pre noting his subjects from enlisting into the service of countries with whom we were in a gate of neutra lity. By the Act of Geo. IL this was made a capital offence. The object of this Act was to preserve, as strictly as possible, a neutrality between this country *any other States at war with each other. The words of the Statute were, that any subject who shall enlist under any foreign Prince, Potentate, or Power, Ste. But a doubt might arise as to whether a British subject enlisting in the service of any district "'country not acknowledged as a State or Power, Id or did not come within the operation of this law. Though it would be absurd to suppose that British subjects were prevented from engaging in - the service of an acknowledged Prince, and yet allowed to en-. gage in other places . where the people were perhaps la rebellion (though he did not mean to rase that term 00 this occasion) against their country—thonsh it %%told be absurd to suppose this, yet to prevept ell tuisccmception of the Statute, he meant to surd these words to the statute—" Colony, district, • Pr other Plate, loc." This would only have the effector . placing Persons, who wished so to enlist, on a footing with the rest of his Majesty's subjects.% By the 9th and . '9th Geo. Mall British subjects were prevented from ‘.Jlating the neutrality preserved by this country with respect to foreign Powers, under a penalty of felony, lie could not see the reason why, while the subjects of this country were distinctly prohibited by taw horn cnteting into, or enlisting in, the *entice of a „ : 4 ) , hireign esta b lis h e d , or w h at was d eeme d legiti Government, without the -perthission a the alq• doubt should be allowed to remain as to soh calk:mut with any person or persons assuming tresercis:n the powers of a foreign Government.— 1 prohiblion as to the established Governments t: 4 : clearly marked by the St a tutes of Geo.

Goierliments to' which that kat appliedf as Well as . towafdflhose persons or colonies ! by whom or in which the powers of Government were assumed or exercised. That the enactment of such a measure was proper and necessSary in order to maintain neutrality; esrecially in a contest between any recogniied er`fturent &ate and the Colonies con nected with it, was a proposition which, be thought, Could hardly be withstood. It might be said that as it was against the law of arty State that jts subjects should enlist in the service of another &ate without the permission of their Sovereign, or violate.the neu tralityof the State asidi *dab were connected, the proposition whit the submitted was unnecessary. Bet theobjed of Ids proposition was to render the law quite explicit and indubitable, and in this object he was proceeding upon the spirit of the Act of George 11. TO mei that Obit into complete effect, he iroposed that the law should be ecpial and congru ous with regard to the enlistment of British subjects in the service of foreign Powers, whether those Polders were acknowledged or unacknowledged by our own Government. fhis was the first purpose of Ms proposition ; but there was another purpose also, namely, to provide that no assistance should baaf fohied by our *objects in the fitting out or furnishing ships, for warlike purposes to any'belligerent Powers , with which thilcountry was at peace. Such a provi . . . . . lion was seobviotisly necessary to maintain neutra. 'lily, that he could not anticipate any resistance to its, adoption, as it would be preposterous to say this .country was neutral, if, for instance, in the dispute between Spain and its Colonies, it Allowed ships to be equipped and supplied with ammunition for warlike purposes on the part of the South American Colo nies, while Spain was precluded frOM any such ac commodation. To establish this provision was the second object of the Bill which he 'Proposed to bring forward, and the necessity of such a provision, with a view to the preservation of our neutrality, could not be questioned by any one acquainted with what was going forward in various parts for the pur poses of seconding the people of &nth America. It was not by any means his intention to prevent the ships of either of the belligerent parties from receiving a supply of provisions in the ports of the Empire, but merely to prohibit the supply of warlike atores. FroM what he had stated; he apprehended that no objection could be made to his motion, unless it was intended that a distinction should be made between Powers that were acknowledged and those that were not acknowledged by the Government of this country, and that a decisive advantage should be given to the latter—(Near, hear, hear.) Such a distinction would be in violation of the common law of the land, as well as of the spirit of the general Law of Nations. The measure then which he pro posed was only to.be regarded as .a declaratory law, which was called for by peculiar circumstances, in order to proclaim the will of Parliament, and to guard against any doubt as to the nature of the law. The Learned Gentleman concluded with movie& for leave to bring iii a Bill to prohibit British subjects from enlisting in foreign service, and the fitting out or equipping of vessels for warlike purposes in any of his Majesty's ports, without license of Government. Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH confessed his.asto , nishment at the declarations of his Hotiourabie and Learned Friend (the Attorney-General). Were he (Sir James) to consider the intended law as a simple amendment of a law, he would not perhaps at this stage of the business object to the motion.. But viewing it as a declaratory act against the people of South. America, now struggling for their dearest rights and liberties—(Hear, hear),—it became him as a Member of the British Parliament to enter his against the measure. His Honourable and protest Learned Friend had described the law as it now stood on erroneous principles. - When he mentioned that, it had originated in the particular pressure of the times, he forgot to acknowledge that it was a law against persons who were then termed Jacobites. It was a measure of temporary policy, affecting the interests I of the existing Government, and therefore deemed necessary. Whatever might be the pretended title , of the Bill, it was evidently designed to prevent the subjects of this country from lending any aid to the people of South America, now laudably and gloti ously fighting for their liberties- . - (Hear, hear), Thence we were to consider the fatal policy of Go vernment, who, after allowing or conniving at the assistance afforded be many subjects of this country to the Patriots of South America, came now for= ward for the first time to espouse the cause of Old Spain, consequently the cause of oppression and tyz ranny against reason and freedom—(Near, hear)....- No man could deny that the Sovereign of this coun try had not the same power of restriction over his subjects which ought always to be maintained for the good of the community ; but every man of liberal principles would lament that the exercise. of that power was converted to such a wretched policy. The whole was a kind of disguise, a mask, to cover the real designs of Government, by a spe cious enactment, not immediately called upon.--- That the law itself was absurd and imperfect, hii Honourable and Learned Friend readily acknow ledged ; and he. (Sir James) was so mush of thesame opinion, that it was one of those Acts to which he . had turned his attention for erasure or amendment. But why was his Honourable and Learned Friend called upon at this particular period to bring forward such a measure? Because the Patriots of South And rice appeared successful, and became our Governs., meat was about to declare against American inde.s, pendence. Ile. did not wish to detain the Hotise on the introduction of the measure; for many opportu nities would occur before it passed ; but he could not help expressing his honest indignation at every e#s)re to 'crush the cause of ,rational liberty--(Hear, hies). The situation of our fellow-subjects whb etiv gaged la the service of the Muth Americans Would be rendered perilous, indeed, by the operations of thsr new law. It was empOwering tie Governniefit et Old Spain to treat all subjects of this country in South.

And, suffer such an infringement of the•libertics of South America without entering his protect. Under the cover of Stue policy, it was an abominable attempt , to impose upon the people of South America the ty ranny of the Government of Old Spain! —(Hcar, hcar.t Lord CASTLEItEAGH said, that he had been greatly delighted with the eloquence of the Honour able Membei, but regretted extremely the nature of the language which he had used. It was any thing but the-language of neutrality. It was our duty, his Lordship - observed, to prevent an abuse from existing. against that Power, with which we have many portant and acknowledged relations. He desired to put it to the feelings of the House, whether they would estimate their duty by the degree of weakness which might exist on the part of a friendly Power to assert its rights ?—(Hear.) If Spain bad power to sup port her demand, she would have a right to call for the, introduction of a law similar to that which it was now proposed to bring io and if her demand weer not complied with, she would have a right to resent it, Every one approved.of the Proclamation which had last year been issued by • his Royal Highness the' Prince Regent, requiring that a strict neutrality :should be observed ;,but it was absurd to talk of, neutrality, when a Foreign Power can shoat that; Regiments are prepared, and Ships fitted out, from 'this country—( ('Ties of Hear ! .flora the Opposition side): He owed an apology to the House, aad to the country, and to the world, in order to explain why the Hill had not been brought forward before now. The delay was occasioned by certain discussions which had been goiag on respecting the dispute be. tween Spain and her Colonies ; but these discussions • were now at an end. While the Common Law of.the country applied so little to the presept situation, it was too much for the Honourable and Learned Gen- tleman to attack his Majesty's Government so much on a subject of legislation, to which other countries, equally interested in the result of the war carried on between Spain and her Colonies, led the way. What had the United States of North America done tive to that war? _ Was it to be accounted unfair in the Legislature of Great Britain to follow the ex ample of the United States? It was perfectly incon sistent w:th the general line of duty adopted by this country, for it to sit longer quiet, and net to endea vour to prevent its subjects from joining the standarti raised by Foreign Colonies against their Parent State. It was prohibited to levy forces in this country in favour of Spain, and why should it not also be pro hibited to levy them in favour of her Colonies ? His Majesty's Government was desirous of fulfillinF, the Treaty which had been entered into by Great Britain, and which had been laid before the House, by fol- lowing the principles of strict neutrality, in relation to both countries. He felt himself, therefore, bound to protest against the proposition of the Honourable and Learned Gentleman, and he tberefore entreated the House to protect the good faith and honour of the country, which were solemnly pledged for the fulfilment of•the Treaty. • Mr. ELLICE said, that be notild' mat profess-eny desire to maintain the neutrality AU iflaich the Noble Lord was so very solicitous, as be had no hesitation in avowing that be was a decided friend to the cause land object of the people of'South Amerke.=(Lead. trier of Hear, hears)--But he wished to know why Ministers bad not sooner brought forward the mea lyure before the House? and also, whether they meant to apply this measure to the ten thousand British subjects already engaged in cooperating with the people of South America ?' or to send out a fleet for tlse purpose of taking the several British ships which wore notoriously acting in the same cause? Lord CASTLEREAGH observed, that the Hon. Geetleman had no doubt spoken very plainly, but in reply to his questions he had to state, that it was not intended that the measure before the House should be retrospective. • Mr. G. LAMB maintained, that the spirit of the measure before the House was decidedly contradic tory to the principles of neutrality which its authors professed to revere; for if such a measure were adop ted, its effect must be to promote the restoration of Spanish tyranny in South America—(//ear, hear.} — It was an egregious error, he contended, to allege that a measurrof this nature was in accordance wish .the principle of the Statutes of George 11. for the ob• ject of those Statutes notoriously was to prevent Bri tish subjetts from being engaged in hostility with the 43ritish Governments- But such was not the purpose. ; Of the Bill proposed by his Learned FrieodLthsti. Bill had. indeed, a materially different object... He admitted the right of the Governmeni to &event its Subjects from enlisting in the service of-a Foreign State without the permission of his Majesty; but he most sensibly regretted to witness any disposition on the part of the Government of this couatry, which ought to be the principal guardian, as it had long boasted of being the favourite abode; of Liberty, to restrain any part of its population frdm becoming the champions of that...sacred cause fOr which the people of South America were so gallantly struggling against the universally degraded, and fortutiately de crepid, Government of Spain-(Loud cheering.) Mr. WYNN expressed his intention to support the proposition. He thought the object of the measure, should not be to the extent of the spirit of the Acts of the 9th and i9th of Geo. 11. but to mitigate their se ,verity. As the law now stood. the penalty was too severe and inapplicable. These laws were passed with the view of prevereing I foreign Power enlisting soldiers in.these dominions. Was iethen fit that the 'law should thus be operative against Spain nad France, at the same time that, it was open to the agents of the South American Provinces to enlist ttoop.this country?. It was notorious that sueat ,transactions ria took place—regiments were raised, and, transports were fitted out in the rivet.

Sir W.

The nature of our corn mercial connexion in that quarter of the world was too important to be overlooked, or hazarded by any injudicious interference.
