On Lord CASTLEIb.EAGH's motion that the 'Alien Bill be read a second time, Lord A. HAMILTON said, that the circum stances were so different at th:s period from those of former years, that he could .not see the necessity Of the present Bill. Even on the grounds on which it 1 was proposed, there appeared to be an unnecessary severity of legislation. No distinction was made*. tween Alien friends or enemies-4 but ,every Alien might be arrested and thrown into the gaols the country. It was said .that without this 13111 theCtown had the power by Proclamation to send Aliens on' Of the country . why, therehare,.should the Secretary of State be invested with additional authority to tin same diced He otiected, not only to .partiettle clauses of the Bill, but to the obnoxious patintiple tit which it was founded, which 'was not justified b' even the least apprehension of danger. He though the Bill could not possibly be* suffered to pass end .its present severity of enactment. He shoeid hoped, that ip the proud state in which England no stood, sbe woo4,buto gins an example of 4i • ,J • le enber natio% instead oft chits tbe'es:to imitate ;Oudeseterow policy. • No sided by moring %lun ette sin be read a second time this day three moots', Mr. H. ADDlNGToti•crefended the mum. • was neither IsOveliif diegtaedol ll to the country ; it was exactly, the counterpart of el which , had passed the House two years ueo,' *giant a division. on the admission ofdclause r . ving co-Aliens the power of appeal to the Privy Council.' If it was found expedient in 1814, why should it lao' thought unjtt%t and impolitic in 181 G, when there was a great increase of Aliens in this country! their num• bee at present amounted to 25,00% He cnntended 'that the Bill now proposed did not deserve the epi. thets bestowed upon it by the Noble Lord. He then drew a comparison between the severe enactment of the war Alien Bill and the moderation of those of the ,preseet. An Alien. by the former Act, could not stir a step without a passport, or live any where with nut a license of residence. He sio., Insides liable to be sent out of the country without any power of ap peal, and if he returned without permission he be came subject to transportation for life. By the pre sent Bill an Alien. as soon, as. he had obtained his certificate, was at liberty to go to any part of the kingdom which he pleased. His motions were per fectly free and unshackled, and he might leave the country at any port, on spewing his ceriiticate, with out asking permission. He was also subject to be sent out of the kingdom, but he had a right to appeal, which was a check on the exercise of that preroga tive. Notwithstanding the power width the Kin; pos. seised of koiliug aliens out of the country when be thought proper, even in time of peace, the Bill was necessary to afford the means of exercising that pier, instead of having recourse to the only mode which the Crown could otherwise adopt, that of at. tachment. As a proof that the execution of the Bill had been attended with no severity, lie stoned, that • since 1312 only twenty-ono aliens had been lent out of the country, and of those six were individuals who had returned without permission, so that the number in three years was in fact only fifteen. And whereas the W 1 enacted, that aliens returning without leave should be transported for life. nest one instance of that kind had sccurred since the introduction of the Act. He then alluded to the case mentioned some time 'jute by an HonOurabli Member (Mr. Basing) of Aliens who were said to have been sent away at the instigation.of a foreign Minister. That Honour; able Gentleman having supplied him with the name .f one of then, he bad round, after much inquiry, that it was a case that had happened three years and el 4 half since. The Noble Secretary for Foreign Af fairs had made a written application, chewing. iorea. sons so strougund so decisive, the indispensible neces sity of sending away a Mr. Labouchere and a Mr. Daudet, that an order had been issued inconsequence belore they arrived in London. The Hon. Member, whom be did not see in his Wace. had said that those `persons had come on commercial purposes. but it had turned out that they came with very different objects in view. No application had been made by a Foreign Minister, and in fact there was no Minister nienging to their country at the time in England. He :hett took a view of the subject on the ground of ex pense, and was understood to state that the ezpendi tore of the Alien Officehad been reduced from C3OOO to less than £if3Mo a-year. He could not conceive why such a measure as that now proposed cotedgive offence to any individual. From the letters which he daily received from Moat respectable persons in all parts of the kingdom, he believed that there would general dissatisfaction throughout the country it such a law did not exist, and he would think Min:s ters most culpable bail they been too supine to bring it forwar . , • Mr. BROUGHAM, after the statement made by the Right Honourable Gentleman, who was at once the patron and the father of the Bill, was left as much in the dark as ever. The House were told that the measure was not new. because it had been brougla forward two years ago. But be would not admit a, precedent of two y.eare back to have any weight in making a great ionovatiob in the Constitution. It was tu:ally inapplicable to compare the present time with the period of 1814. It was then openly declared. that the peace concluded was ,a precarious one. which ought not to exclude alarm. • France then possessed a mighty army, unbroken by.any great defeat, and the person who lately wielded her power was not kept, as he would now say, under lock and key. To compariabose periods together, was to disregard the most striking features of difference. The proposed innovation in the Constitution was attempted to be juatified on the ground that the Bill was milder in its enactments 11»tst the War Alien Act. 'This was not sneicient. The necessity which had occasioned its adoption in former: year, as a temporary Measure, moat be ehewa .to exist, to justify its renewal under any shape. The authority of Puffendorf, a writer on the law bf nations, whose - sentiments might indeed bare been consulted when an expedition was sent to destroy the °vital and the subjects of a friend, Wil3 aPt to be. , appe,tled to in a municipal question, in fachad as ptgre to db than the Koran or the Tamed. The Attorney and the Solicitor-General should explain this novel proposition, that the Bing m had the power, by I prrelaation.duly countersigned by his Minister, in time of peace, to seize the body of au alien friend and end him. out of the kingdom, "contrary to-Ma gna Charta and to the Constitution of the land. He contended, that by the thirty 4.ighth Article of Magna Charta, .Foreigners wile as much protected as natural-born subjects. That ar ticle gave to merchant strangers within the realm the power to act, sojourn, and go °mot the country when they listed. He quoted the authority of Lord Coke on the same side of the question. With certain ex oeptions with regard to the purchase of property, the law was the same for foreigners as for atatural-born subjects in what regarded the liberty of persons. It was said the present Bill placed an alien on the same footing as a natural•born subject, when he had once obtained bis,certiticate.. The ports of the country wereiben gist to him, unless he obtained permission to star them. It was true That he had'afterwards no ocestaion for a passport or 'a licence; but, was it nothing so be liable every moment tolie taken up, - .ltui tied away, banished, and catiied Where the gown, uncut :bete he pleased ? CODATI'S "ficntr fiolland, he might be seat to Russia I- lion/ France to the Medi a ' ten-anew. Would aliens not feel this, and would not other nations 'follow the e.zitiopie?

But were there not oi Foreign Ministers ? Because no gr.-at delinmuoty had been committed by the Right Holt. Gentkman sad his Noble Relation, the bent:fits of Magna Cha r t s were to be. withdrawn from the large number of foreign er , in this country. The more liumeroas they seer e ,e l worse for the Bill, as it showed that it did not cp. rate only on a few, but on a respectable body, —There were 12 millions of English subjects, a n d yet the law was sufficient to contain them. althou g h many of them might be as dissatisfie ' as the ro. reigners who might come to this kirsaiim. Re, should not be much astonished if an Aiiet Bill, to be called the Irish Bill, were to be prnpoteJ, on the ground that the Irish were dissatisfied, and antitheft were perhaps 100,000 of them in Eti4l4mi. Ths difference between the war measure and tote renal was the mere shadow of a shade. The former was justified in the eyes of many, by the emergencies of the case ; the latter deserved the imptohation of every man who had the least regard for the character of hit country in the eyes of foreign nations.* Mr. H. ADDINGTon and Mr. BIt , ,UGHAM mutually * explained. The_SOLICITOR GENERAL stated, that by the Common Law the King had the power of prehi. liking Aliens, by prochimatioe, from remaining in this country. If they disole ) ed the proclimation, they might be punished by indictment. There was no inherent right, by National Law, - that 4n Alien had to come and reside in a kingdom wiltwit the con. sent uf its Sovereign. lie owe.i no aiiekiance to that State, which had no power to demand hif. srt vices, or to :mil him it he should leave it A r cai:ger was entitled, with some exceptions, to all the .adrmtages of the law, but not as a natural born sullject. As to that article of Magna Charts which the Honourable and Learned Gentlemen had me. tiftned, it was in. tended to protect merchant strangers against the ex. actions of the subjects, who did every thing in their power to exclude them, Ind ttirt Agititltt the prerogb tive of the King. He. th n gamed .Blackte.one a& Sir Edward Noiton,.as supporting the power enjoyed by the King to send away Aliens from the country. 1 The Le nisei Gentleman 'Went oa to argue, that na. tural horn subjeits could not ce sent out a the king. 40113, but that no Alien had a right to come to any Part iii the kingdom, witheut the Sovereign having the right to order him away' . in 'virtue : of his pre. Teg , atiee,. and if he did nocgo he was liable to fine and IMprjsonment,, on provocation by indictment. But &en it tfiie.power did not exist, an Mt of Parliament like the prevent was perfectly necessaty and justifiable, Thi very Act which was proposed at the commence• ment of the war, and which Subsequent events have sheen to have been most just and necessary, was as strongly opposed. at the time, by Gentlemen wham minds were misled, as this was at present,—(Heart hear.)—The same opposition was made to the re newel of the Act less than two years ago i and Gen. demon were certainly not justified in 7 arguing, that because peace is restored, mischievous intentions were eradicated in the minds of Aliens, and that therefore precautionary measures were totally unnecessary.— He believed that the revolutionary madness was quelled and abated, but not extinguished, and there fore it was not the mere signature of a treaty el peace that could secure the country aiainst their future F xiaebinations. The Learned Gentleman then argued that there could b . ., no instance of abuse of the. Act peotettegainst his Majesty's Gneernment. 'the Ball was to 'tended protect us against Alien enemie s, ~ .under the mask of Alicia friends—Wear. ;&04-..and 'therefore no practical evil could possibly arise from it. ' . Sir S. ROMELLY did not conceive that the pass ,. mg of this*Bill depended on the question of any for . !mer prerogatives of the Crown, and indeed be be lieved that no such law existed. The point was stated 'by Biackstone, but he quoted no authority for it, as he !tad done on all former occasions: the only authot . , rity was the Records of the Treasury. — [The St)LICITon-GENERAL said across the Table. (that he had seen the authority in print: it was selec ted by Mr. Chalmers.] The Honourable Member said that was not suffi cient authority. According to this i llill, foreigners who bad lived for many year, who had made tor tunes, and had families; in this country, might be banished. Grveritruent would not now allow. natu ralization bills to aliens, because they wished to love power over them. It was a rule. of the House of Ltird;; that no Naturalization Bill should pass toi lers there was a certificate of .good conduct !Need by one of. the Secret; ties of State.
