PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS. HOUSE OF LORDS, MAY 14. Ina Committee of Privileges their Lordships heard some do cumentary and other evidence, respecting the Claim of Dame Anne Peterson Anstruther, widow of Sir Philip Anstruther, of Anstruther, hart. to the -Barony of Polwarth, of Polwarth.-- Turther consideration of the case postponed. The House th'n resumed, and after prayers were read, The Earl of CA L EDON presented a Petition from the In habitants of the Parish or District of Calnwarth, in the County of Donegal, complaining of the injurious effects of certain parts of the Distillery Laws in Ireland, and pr.ying for a revision of the same. The Abcrdzen Police Bill was brought up from the Commons by Mr. DoGum.' and others, and read Cie first time, as were a few ptiv...ie &Us presented by other Members. COTTON MANUFACTORIEs . BILL. The Earl of DERBY presented two Petitions against the Bill before the House on this subject, and praying to be heard by their Counsel against the same. The first of these was from Preston, in Lancashire; and the second was from Liverpool,l and con tained a prayer against any removal of the Duties on Printed Cotton Goods, in order to lay them on the r.etv material. The Petitions were referred to the Committee on the Bill; as was another Petition, presented by Viscount BULKELEy. , against the measure. _ _ `,".. The Earl of LAUDERDALE, in pursuance of what bad on a former evening, relative to tete bearing of Cannel rde evidence on behalf of the Petitioners against the Cotton Manufactoriea' Bill, moved for the attendance of certain indi. viduals ; among wham were two or three medical men, and it Clergyman, at tht. Bar of the House, on Tuesday next. This proposition gave rise to a conversation of some length between the Noble Earl and Lord KENYON, as to the ques tion of the necessity of hearing farther evidence on the svbject, and also as to the sense entertained by the House on the former evening upon the point. Lord KENYON contended there was no necessity whatever for their Lordships' hearing farther evidence respecting the mea sure. They had the voluminous mass given before Committees of the House of Commons (all of which he had attentively pe rused) in the year 1816, which he thought included all that could be brought forward upon the subject; and the ennsidera don chat the examinations were not taken up by that House in the following year, was, in his mind, a proof that they deemed what was already before them to'be sufficient. For his own part, he felt confident, that nothing which could be urged by Counsel could demonstrate the necessity of hearing farther evidence. The Earl of LAUDERDALE differed widely from the opi. niuns of the Noble Lord, as well as from his inferences from what had, and what had not taken place in another House upon 'the occasion. The circumstance of the other douse not having taken up the examination last Session, was no ground whatever for withholding their Lordships' House from inquiring further. He had to say, what he believed few of their Lordships could, viz. that he had read every word of the evidence ; and the imst which he thought could be said of it was, that it afforded no data whatever for their Lordships to act upon ; it even, in his mind, contained a tissue of absurdities. It certainly was the sense of the House that Evidence might be beard after theitat& molts of Counsel. On the question, the attendance of the witnesses moved for by the Noble Earl, wAs ordered accordingly. CHIMNEY-SWEEPERS RELIMATION BILL. Lord AUCKLAND, in moving that this Bill be read a third time that day six modths, observed, that all that had appeared in evidence and on enquiry, demonstrated the necessity of some Legislative regulation towards the relief of those unhappy objects whom the measure principally respected. But thougll he was convinced that effectual remedial substitutes may he produced, almost without any inconvenience, and at a very trifling expense, yet, from the nature of the opposition experienced by the mea sure, and the very late period of the Session, ha despaired of being able to bring forward any modified measure which could go at all to the general and salutary regulation its supporters had it. view. Prospectively, however, particularly from the result (-; these numerous experiments 'made at the instance of the Sur veyor-General, he was led to augur more favourably of the suc cess of a general and efficient Bill or. a future day.' No less a number than sixty experiments had been tried upon the most difficult chimnies, and not one failed. Upon the whole, there fore, he was indu ced, however dissor.ant to his feelings, to move for a postponement of the measure, pledging himself to bring for ward its consideration early in the next Session of Parliament. The Noble Led concluded by formally moving as above, which was ordered accordingly. INTENDED MARRIAGE OF THE DUKE OF KENT. The Order of the Day for taking the Prince Regent's Message of yesterday into consideration, being read, The Earl of LIVERPOOL rose to move a corres ponding Address to his Royal Highness on the occa sion. lie did not feel it necessary in the present in stance to take up their Lordships' time, but begged leave to call to the recollection of the House what he had stated on a former occasion, on a topic nearly si milar. 'Their Lordships were also aware of what had then occurred in another place. He had, however, no difficulty in stating, that at present it was propo sed, under the circumstances of the case, regard being had to the expressed opinion of Parliament, that Cie same arrangement should be adopted with regard to the Illustrious Personage who was the immediate , subject of the present proceeding, as had been adop ted and sanctioned by Parliament in the case of his Royal Highness the Duke of Gambridge. The Noble Earl then moved a corresponding Address to the Prince Regent, assuring him of the cordial concur rence of the House in measures to enable his Royal Highness to make a proper and suitable provision for the important occasion comunicated in his gra cious Message. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE rose to express his cordial assent to the motion; and, at the same time, to advert briefly to some considerations which he thought not unconnected with the particular case be fore them. The Illustrious Personage in question, he observed, had long been placed in a state of some embarrassment ; and which was chiefly to be attri buted to the circumstance of the Parliamentary pro vision having been made for him considerably later' in point of time than most of the other Illustrious Personages so nearly allied to him ; the incurring of some amount of debt was an unavoidable conse quence, and the arrangements made by the Illustrious Personage with respect to the liquidation thereof, was a consiirerattbn highly to his honour. He did not suggest these circumstances with any view to an alter ation with respect to ti.e proposed arrangement in the case of the Illustious Personage in question ; but he thought, in candour, that the cause which led to his embarrassed situation should be made known. The Address was then unanimously voted by their Lordships. CORRESPONDENCE WITH RESPECT TO ALIENS. Lord HOLLAND rose to make his promised mo tion on this subject. The Noble Lord contended Mat tire documents he was about to move for, were necessary to a due understanding of the subject on the part of their Lordships, and chiefly for the pur pose of their knowing upon whom, and in what way the Alien Act, and the system connected with it, operated. The Noble Earl opposite, on a former night, stated that the measure was proposed solely on British grounds and for British interests. But he could not avoid thinking that the pending measure had a most important reference to the internal state of France, and the views of the French Government, as well as those of certain other Powers in Europe. ' He must deprecate any departure from the ancient principles of British freedom and the Constitution. in favour of any foreign objects whatever ; and he was averse to withholding in Britain the rights of national hospitality or protection, from the unhappy persecu ted victims of the French Government, or of any ar bitrary Power on the Continent. A very different spirit actuated the United Provinces in the best days of their independence and freedom. Their territory was open for the retreat of all such persons, a prin ciple approved by that great political writer, Sir Wil; ham Temple ; and the practice he extolled was most pointedly exemplified in their reception of the great Lord Shaftesbury, notwithstanding his reiterated phil lipics against Holland, which he generally concluded with the pointed quotation " Delenda est Carthago!" The information he required was essentially necessary to shew the general nature of the subject on which they were about to legislate, in a re-enactment of the Alien Bill, and the real grounds and objects of his Majesty's Government in thus bringing it forward.— The Noble Lord concluded by moving—" For Ex tracts or Copies of all Correspondence since the 20th of November, 1815, between any of his Majesty's principal Secretaries of State and the British Mini sters abroad, and the Ministers of Foreign States, re lative tosAliens ; and also for the same taking place between his Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and the British Minister in the Netherlands, relative to passports granted or refused to individuals respectively—not being natives of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands. The Earl of LIVERPOOL observed, that the measure to which the Noble Lord referred, proceeded, as he had already stated, solely on British grounds, and for British objects, and which, when the subject should come regularly before their Lordships, he could satisfactorily demonstrate. The number of French individuals sent out of the country since the last passing of the Alien Act, did not exceed three, and that took place not in consequence of an appli cation from any foreign Government whatever, which so far precluded an inference that the Act was passed in consequence of communications with any Foreign Powers. He had no difficulty in saying, that in tne present state of the world it was essentially necessary the Executive Government of this country should be empowered to expel from its bosons any obnoxious or dangerous individuals who might-harbour there. It should be a principle of the internal policy of this country. And it was not from any thing that ever } et took place that honest or unoffending individuals would be deteriorated or outraged by it—it was solely against murderers, villains, or traitorous agi tators, that such a salutary and saving rower would be directed. Such a procedure could not be regard ed as a falling off from national hospitality, or in consistent with the principles of genuine British free dom. After ably discussing, and successfully refut ing the various topics and arguments used by the Noble Baron, and again contending for the necessity, under the circumstances, of vesting the power about to be required in the Executive Government of-this cc.untry, the Noble Earl said he felt it his duty to offer a negative to the motion. The Earl of CA RNA ItVON made a few observa tions in support of the Motion. Lord HOLLAND shortly explained. The question was then put, and the Motion nega tived without a division. The Bills upon the table were then severally read, and the House Adjourned till to-morrow. HOUSE OF COMMOVS. Sir JAMES CR Ail A M presented a Petition (run certain inhabitants of the Pari,;t Of Mary-la-b. against the au for creating a New Water Company fur that Parish. lie strongly objected to the measure, and hoped the Hill would be withdrawn. Mr. PORTMAN said, that he had r.ason to believe that the Bill would be withdrawn durittl: the present Session. Mr. P. MOORE also objected to the measure as a paro chial job. `General THORNTON thought that some measure was necessary, to protect the Public against the rapacity of Water Companies, who now required seven per cent. more than before, anll sometimes compelled new tenants to pay the arrears due ta them by the old uses, before they would supply then: withwater. After a few words from Mr. Haiavar, the Petition was read and laid on the table. Sir JAMES GRAHAM then presented two Petitions from the Company of Proprietors of the West bliticilesex and Chelsea Water-works, to the tame effect.—Laid on the table. Mr. MU NDAY presented a Petition from the Cotton Ma nufacturers of Derby, praying against any additional duty on the importation of Cotton Wool.—Laid on the table. Mr. PEEL presented an estimate of the expenses of building Glebe Houses in Ireland.—Laid od the table, and ordered be printed. Mr. MILNE presented a Petition from the Arlde mictu of the College of Aberdeen, praying that may be made in the Copyright Act.—Laid on the table. WILLIAM CORBETT'S PETITION. Lord COCIIRANE said, that he had a Petition to present relative to two individuals lately exiled to America, in consequence of the acts of spies in this country. It was attended with affidavits sworn be fore the Mayor of Philadelphia, and signed, the one Wm. Stevens, and the other Charles Kendal. These documents stated such facts relative to Oliver and his macbinaticns, that he (Lord Cochrane) trusted his Majesty's Ministers would not object to his moving for the appointment of a Committoe of Inquiry.—. The Petition was from a public writer, who had left England under the late Suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act, and with a conviction that Government intended to institute a kind of Cei:sorship over the Press. He then moved, that the Petition should be broegllt up. Tile SPEAKER stated, that the House could re- ~~
