'I hat tromahe verification of documents before possessed (the truth of which was never quits rionable), and especially from the evidence now produced by their respectable friend, it is perfectly evident :o th , :ni, that the parse- ClOWill so long and so disgracetulty continued, have been insti gated by bigotry and intolerance, and have been excited and di acted by powerful leaders, against the Pro roams, as the depoei caries of those religious and social principles, which oust always render their possessors efficient and heitoirable in society ; that political opinions have only Men • the pretexts under winch the 'tedious projects of their 'enemies were concealed, as Protestants were as prompt, and as sincere in their acceptance of •the re stored dynasty, as any class of Fveuchmeu whatever; that the 1 Soviet*, rapacious, .and barbarous conduct of their persecutors, has excieded the represtutations which have been made by the Commiuee, and has equalled in criminality that of the most guilty persecutors of ancient times; that it is impos- I sit& to exculpate, at -least from connivance, the Local, Civil, and Mihnuy Authorities,, because the extent of the outrages —the length of their duration—the publicity of the crimes—the notoriety of the criminals—the uselessness of complaints from the sufferers, and the vexations to which they have been exposed —the confidence with which the rubbers an.l murderers have eated, and the impunity and protection they have experienced, -are equally unknown iu any cuuutry where the magistracy, how. . ever treble, has been active am! sincere. 'I hat it is equally evi dent, that from some cause, which this Committee do not intend' to assign, the higher departments of the Government hive noej taken a suitable wettest its the dreadful calamities which have been sustained by its faithful and honour - able subjects—have hot' maintained equal security for the professors of ti e Protestant and Cat hulk reletions ; but have appeared to entertain the most lively jealousy of toe unsolicited interference of benevolent personi hi this e•untry—have neglected to give. to the Protestants, and to Europe any satisfaction, by demanding an account of their con• duct irons the local or extraordinary authorities—and, finally, have left ti.e victims of persecution at the mercy of .Preiiotal Courts, composed of their enemies, who have indicted on Pro testants the mob. degrading and cruel punistimeat foralledeeel trifling crimes, and have ispassrably acquitted Catholics—covered t with blond, and guilty of numerous and horrid murders. 4. That it was not the design of this Committee to procure for the Peon:stair s a temporary alleviation ut their public mfeetiirs; or to raise an useless clainour, and then leave them a prey to persecu door more dreadful, because theyare more secret, and because they msunie the character of judicial punishments, instead of the outages of Liman ; but they were resolved. to contribute,, by every honourable means, to reiustate them in that security and comfort they had so long enjoyed, .ail their title to which they have never writhed. • While, therefore, the objects of their una bated solicitude are living under the most dreadful apprehension, exposed to the violence of hostile authorities, cut off from the en-, joymetas of civil society, fugitives front their homes; deprived of their sources efsupport,suld prevented from exercising on account a their religious opinions, their industry and talents; while Many, from the absence of their pastors, the loss of their temples, or the fear of their enemies, are destitute of the.public supports and coo sedation, of their religion ; and especially encouragt.d, . and alma. fated by the voice of the General Body' lately expressed at their A nuearMeeting, this Committee will not rebut in its vlailance et activity, but will endeavour to direct public attention to the situa tion of the French Protestants ; to enlighten public opinion on the true character and extent of Heir sufferings ; to excite public sym. patty and benevolence fur the 'deviation of their calamities, and public indignation against the authors of their distress . ; and al• though they will seize with eagerness the first opportunity to an• notorce any improvement in the situation of their brethren, et 1 their full restoration to their former state of happiness as prof's. - sorb of religion, they will not remit their humble efforts, not iabandon the sacred cause to any delusive promises or violent op position, but will persevere, ditto the gratitude of their fellow 1 trotestants, shall be added, their congratullOnas and reposer 5.

HA3EAS-CORPU9 ACT AMENDMENT BILL The Marquis of LANSDOWNE prefaced Vs 'motion for their Lordships going into a Committee on this Bill with a short but comprehensive speech. He described the object of the Bill to be to render more efficacious and beneficial that salutary statute, derived from the best principles of Magna Charm, upon Which so much of the personal - libeity of the subject depended, namely, the Habeas Corpus Act. ..The way in which the Bill went to effect this was principally, first, by enabling the Judges to issue out writs of Habeas Corpus in vacation time ; and, se , enndly, authorising them to inquire into the facts alledged in the respective cases. The Roble Marquii adverted to some cases, in which, from the want of opinion of such a nature, the individuals concerned were for a time, at least; deprived of the whole be. ntfit of the Act: He trusted their Lordships would assent to go into the Committee, in which stage the ',Bill could receive such amendments as were deemed advisable, and concluded by moving accordingly. • Lord ELLENBOROUGH would not 'oppose . going into the COMmittee, but believed the object his Noble Friend had in view might be attained by the adoption of only a part of the Bill ; but •to render the measure fit for the concurrence of their Lord ships, it Would require some very Material amend-. meet'. With respect to she instances adverted to by the Noble Marquis, and which teemed to render' Legislative interposition necessary, he must say, that in the whole course of the fourteen years he had the case to fill his present situation, but one solitary - case had come to his knowledge.. - ' • • The House then resolved into aCommittee cethe Bill, when several 'amendments were pt*std . by Lord ELLENBORoUOii, and which, after' con: versation between his Lordship, the Noble Marquis, the Lien Cuawcar.tott, and Lord HOLLAND, were agreed to by the Committee,, and the House re suming, ordered the BM, et amended, to be in. grossed. •. CORO/MRS' /111. L. • The Marquis of BUCKINGHAM rose to move the third reading of this Bit). and previous/ made a few: obsertations on the subject. He descnbe4 the nature and importance of the office of Goroner,whieb, in point of rank, was next to the Sherif of the County. The present scale of their anolasents [having been rardated so long ago as thitly ba the The Earl of EGREMONT offered a •variety of objections to the measure as it .hen pres:.nted isself to their Lordships. He had . no r i,l) whatever to de prive the Coroners of a dile remuneration 'for that services. He strongly objected to the consideration .of:the Bill's having come up from the Cominons as , st prifate 13111, when nothing in 'his mind could be cliarer than that it was a public Bill. • Neither * did hi seem to think the office of Coroner one of that ins portauce which some appeared to think. In • Scotland the practice had greatly fallen into disuse, and no inconvenience seemed to result Arent it. Nor could he. avoid observing, that in cases of suici4e, the ver. diets of the Coroners'. Juries were almost invariably, u of lunacy." The measure - was one which 'he thought .required flirther consideration, and to be better known' and toptidered among the Magistratei in'the County. His wish was, that. the present Bill might be . rejected,' 'with an underitanding that the subject S.vould be brought fofward early in the neat Session of Parliament. The Noble Earl concluded by moving,.that the Bill be read _a third time. that day sir months. 44d . ELLENBOROUGH ,concurred in much of what had fallen tronethe Noble Earl, and depie:- cited the idea of a Bill which went to tit all thereat properly in the kingdom, being for a moment re garded as a private Act. He disapproved of, certain parts of the Bill, particularly as relative to certain of the allowances pioposed to be made to Coroner', and pointed out some parts of the Bill whicb he deemed it would be advisable to omit. The LORD CHANCELLOR was decidedly a( opinion that the Bill was a public one. The Marquis of BUCspoke at some length, ih esplanation ; 'as did the Earl of t GR.II - briefly. Earl STANHOPE made.a few remarks of a ten dency favourable to the B;11, and answered the lead ing objections of the Noble E4ll Egrcmott) with respect to the idea he szetned to entertairt that Coroners' Inquests rather encouraged than prevented suicides. He . Observed that the 'objeCt of the' inqui sition was ,not to prevent suicide, but to ascertain'. whether or not the party was not killed by some other ' person. The duties of Coroners he considered as of beneßcial importance. Lord HOLLAND approved of the system of the Coroner's Inquisitions, as an ancient and salutary in stitution, and closely connected with . the popular part of 'our Constitution. The Bill so sent up, on the fact of its being ascertained a public orie, may justi.. fiably be . amended in its progress through that House ; and deeming that the measure was one which required further and More deliberate consis;e ration, he,should vote for the Amendment. The Earl of HARROWBY.thought the most de. sirable way upon. the whole, would. be to discharge tire order for the third reading of the Bill, and then, refer it to a Comenittee of the whole House, treatiqg 'it therein in every sense as a public Bill.. The Noble Earl then moved to that effect. Earl FITZWILLIAM btlppnrted the Motion A. his Ni.ble Friend fur the rejection of the present The Eat' of LIVERPOOL approved of the idea, suggested by Are Lind Presidem, and thought .it s *Mild be very hard upon the parties concerned were tbe.whole business put off to another Session. Committee of the whole House, they could best con sider. wkat amelioration the pusent measure was Ca pable of. The Earl of EGREMONT.spoke in farther:ex planation. After which a division took place on his Lordship's Motion— 'Conteets, 1.9-Alet Contents; 22—Majority. against potting off the pill foe six months, 9. The Bill was then ordered to be ,referred to a, Consniittet of the whole House, to sit on Monday. • On the re-admission of strangers, we found LOrd HOLLAND Addressing their tgrdships an, the &object of. the Shop-lifting Bill, of which he had 'moved the second reading. The Noble Lord's re marks were a recapitulation of those which were of fered in support of the measure, when on former oc casions it was before the Holise. The LORD CHANCELLOR and Lord &Lamm:mown. strongly opposed it, chiefly on the ground of its proposing an injurious alteration of a long established. and necessary law. After.a short explanation from Lord HOLLAND. The . question was put, when the second reading of the Bill was negatived without a division; and afterwards a !notion of. the &ORO CHANCELLOR'S" , thit the. Bill be read 'a second time this day three months, was aireed!o.—Adjourned.
