The LORD CHANCELLOR (being detained at a Cabinet Comteil) did not come down to the 'Houle till nearly half paft four o'clock. Prayers wet,. that read; and The Royal Alllnt was given by Commiffion to ninety-three Public and Private Bills. Among the former Bills were, the irith Malt Duties Dill, the kith Spirit Licence, the POUF Accountant., the Two Militias, the irillt EleCtion, the Weft India Free Ports, the Military Commiffionen Miftake,the Militia Pay and Cleat/l ing Bills, the Chancery Offices Regulation Bills, the Barrack Mat ters, the Sail Cloth Importation, the Seamen's F.ncouts.gement, the Bark Prote.:lion, the Salford Juftlees, the kith Stamp Duties, the Poll Norte Dories, the Londuo Port Improvement, sod Wei tern's Divorce 111:1.. The Earl of SUFFOLK prefatted a Petition from certain Po. rithioners and inhabitants of the Parifh of St. Patera., spin& the St. Paneraa Poor Bill, which was orderfd to lie on the table. On the motion of Lord HAWKESBURY, the Chancellor at the,Exchequer's Indemnity Bill (given at length in our raper at yefterday) was read a third time and paffed. A Owlet converfation took place between the Lprd Chancellor, the Earl- of SufrOk and limerick, and the Bifhop of St. Afaph, refry:king the point wheth, r the St. Pancras Poor Bill, or there. tens Ellape Bill had the priority among the Orders of the Day, t was determined in favour of the former ; and it being repo. fatted by the Rev. Prelate, and the Lord Chancellor, that the eel dence being recently laid upon the table. their Lordfhips had not time to prink. lid! lets to confider it ; the farther coaderatioo of the St Pancras bill was adjourned till 'luefday next. GARDNER'S DIVOReII BILL. On the queftion for the third reading of this Edi t • The I.ORD CHANCELLOR quitted the Wouffack, and called their Lordfbips ferious attention to the 'landing chute which thi Bill contained, and to the principle upon which provffions of the kind proceeded. What they were called upon todo in fuch tarsi, was to alter the kgal qualities of one whole cafe was brought en der the coolideration of the legillature, net fair its own dunerke, but on account of the delinquency of the parent. Cleufes of the kind Ihnuld be roaringly inferted. There were inftances, he ad. mitred, in which the Legiflature could have no hefitation—ftteh as Where the hufband was out of the country, or where a cal imcniihility of any nature interfered. Betides the ftrong objec tions in point of legal principle, a provifion of the kind was, k ninety-nine cafes out of one hundred, unneceffary ; as the perfode interefted h.d legal means in their power of perpetuating the teal. many whore evidence they thought would eftablilh the point la view. His l.ordfhip then referred to tome of the relevant circus.- Rance.' of the prefent cafe, as they had appeared in evidence, though a part ni the teftimeoy to which he referred was of that kind that Mould be looked at with caution and jealoury ; yet lid had little doubt as to the refult of that evidence. 'But then there was at Ina a paffibility of the circumftanee having been (*bemire; and the preterit was that particular cafe upon which the Legffia cure agouti neeer proceed bit upon the deafen pollible evidence; and, therefore, with reference to the principle be bad laid down, and to the moral rights of legiflation, be would propofe that the elaufe to which, he had adverted Ihould be expunged. The FAH of RADNOR fpoke Moray in favour of the dude. The Dithop of ST. ASAPH lipported the leading ethfervations of the Noble Lord on the Woolfack. The clank, on the qucition being put, was ordered to bf ex punged, and the Bill was then read a third time and paired. MR. JUSTI6/ vox. Lord HAWKESBUIIY obferved, that with re fpea to the Bill before their Lorilfbips for continuing the prrceedings in the cafe of Mr. Jnftice Fox; he had, in the interval lince the propofition had been animadverted upon by a Noble Baron on a former night, given the hell confi 4/ration he was able to the fubjea ; and he confelred he Was at a lois to under- Rand upon what grounds a well founded conftitn tional rbjeftion to the meafore could poflibly The mode he propofed was, he contended, the moll confitient with the ends of fubftantial inftice, with the interefls of the public, with that of the Learnt . ; Pcrfnn accufed, or that of the petitioners, of any thie could, under the circumftances, be deviled. The mode propofed offered the feweft poffible difficulties. It was that which appqred to be more agreeable to the wilbes of the LearnEd Perron himfelf, to whom he mull do the jullice to fay, with reference to the mode hitherto adopted, he had demeaned himfelf, as far as he was concerned. in a way very much to his cres dit. With relpea'to the confideration of the witnef fes, it would certainly tend to a great faring in point of' expence, and certainly tend to the greater conve nience of the P arties . Therefore, with a view to the ends of publienftice, there could be no objeaion to the principle of the Bill. If fuch an objea could pro perly apply, he allowed all minor cohlideration fltould give way, but filch was by no means the cafe, and at the fame time, the propofed mode of proceedingg was ftrialy anaiogous to the principle of their Lordfhips' proceeding, and to the praaice of Parliament. The propofed meafure was alfo founded in precedent ; that in the inflance of Sir Thomas Rumbold afforded a fironger cafe than the prefent, for the objedt in that inflance was a bill of pains and penalties, and it was determined that the Bill lbould continue as if the Sef fion was not interrupted by prorogation, fo as that the Bill, if it had gone through two of its Rages, might, in the following Seffion, be taken up in its third Rage ; this afforded a much fbronger cafe, being the continuance of a legiflative meafure, than that of a judicial proceeding of that Houle. The cafe ad. verted to by his Noble and Learned Friend on a for mer night, was more direaly in point, where, foe the purpole of continuing the invelligation of a meafure by evidence, it was deemed proper to interfere by a, fpecial Add. There was no well. founded **aim to the prefent meafure in any point of view, rand Rill left, with refpea to its interfering either with the pre rogative of the Crown, or the privileges - of the other Houle of Parliament; bcfides, it •was well known, fach a Bill could not ,pafs into a law, without the concurrence of the other Houfe, and 4isefaniftion of the Sovereign. After i tew additional remarks, the Noble Secre tary moved their Lordtbips to give a fecund reading to the Bill " for continuing the proceedings of the . ~ . I . Houk of Lords in the tee of Lute Foe, Efq. nue of his Majelly's Judges in IrelAnd, notwithlianding any prorogation or diltolution of Parliament." MR. JUSTICS JIMINt011• Their Lordfhips having refolved into a Committee, and Lord WAPSINGMAM having taken the Chair, The petition of Mr. Inflict Johnfon, prefented and read Lift night, against certain claufes of the Bill, which went as flared to affea his cafe in the ita• ture of in rx psi fat%) law, and praying, as in the concluding terms of the Petition, "That his cafe may not be affefted by a law which was not in esillence at the time of the alledged offence." Mr. ADAM and Mr. PARRA were then heard, the former at xonfiderable length in fupport of Mr. Juf tice Johnfon's petition. Mr. Adam went into a ltif tory of the former Aft, to amend which the Bill be fore the Committee was is,tended ; alfo the cafe of his learned Client, from the time of its firft being brought under the confederation of the Ira Courts of Law, to the prefent moment, of its pending in the Court of King's Bench in England. He dwelt upon the confederation of the Bill, in its prefent flape going to at& the Learned Judge's cafe in the form of an ex po, faffo law ; adverted to the point. that the Aft under which he was to be tried, afforded no power of compelling the attendance of witneffes from Ireland, and argued for the propriety of trying the Learned Judge before an Irifh Court of Law, in a country where his perfon, charaaer, and conduit, were better known than they could pofftbly be in this. The Learned Counfel enforced principally thefe leading confiderationi, with 'his ufual talents and fcient;fic knowledge. Mr. PARRA ably fupported the arguments of his Learned Brother—four reffriaed limit. preclude us from a detailed flatement of the obfervati-ns of either of the Learned Counfel, or what fell front a Noble and Learned Lord af.etwards in the Commit tee4—Mr. P. dwelt forcibly •on the 'objeltionable conliderations of an ex pg folio law ' • and adverted to the circumftance of their being no Aft before the 44th of the King,by whieh . the Learned Judge mad be tried in an Englith Court of Juffice k and flared, that the Learned Judge had no opportunity of beii; heard before the other Houle of Parliament, beeaute the claufes he principally objeaed to were' not in troduced till the third reading 'of tile Bill, when they were Added by way of riders. Mr. ADAM, in the courfe of his addrefs, *erred to Tome claufes, the introduaion of which, he hum bly fubmitted, would, on the 'others being expunged, render the hill unobjeaionable in the Way complain ed of by the Learned Petitioner. • ' • Their Lordfhips then proceeded to the dircuffion of theprovifions ; and feveral amendments, chiefly verbal, were made, on' the fuggeffion of •the Loau CMANcILLOA. The Earl' of WESTMEATH, confeffing himfeif Dot adequate to the tafk.would not trouble the Com mittee with any law obfetvations upon the fubjea; but begged leave to move the introdurtion of one nr two claufes, which were ftmilar to thole adverted to by the Learned Counfel. • The LORD CHANCELLOR obferved, that what was now propofed brought on the coiellion of the defired amendments, and the propiifed claufes. The adoption of thofe as propofed, he felt it his ditty to refill, as nothing could be more true, or clearer in lalv, than that for a libel publithed in England, one could dqly be tried by the laws of this country. He meant not now to go into the contideration of the general law, as relating to the puSlication of libel., but merely to fay that he knew enough to be con vinced that were he or any man to write a libel in London, and publifli the fame in York, or vice verf a, no lawyer could fay that ftieh would not involve two diking cffences, and, fur which the libeller might be tried either in the counties of York or Middlefex. With refpeet to the idea thrown out that there was no opportunity of compelling the attendance of w it nefr: he obferved. thit it was the general duty of all his Majefty's fubjeils to attend in the King's courts of law, and that the procefs was the only means of compelling fuch due attendance. With rept& to certain other confiderations, which had been adverted cocas aeplicable to the Bill in qucllion, he liiisqkd certainly give the points his'beft attention and try whether he could sot, either on the report or nn the third reading-, propole a claufe, which would be the m....mts of doing ample jullice to the country, , and to the individual concerned ; as he freely admit ted, Office could not be done to the country, if it were withhclA - frbin the individUal. What he pro poled wadd go to obviate any t h ing which might re fult from the prefent bill, in the way of confirOion, to prejudice the pending caufe adverted to, and :AK ford the party the means •of compelling the attat dance of witneics on his behalf. After Come farther obfervatiOns from the LORD CHANCELLOR, the dailies propofed 'by the No ble Earloshcs timed to exprefs birufelf fatisfied with the tendency of what fell from the Noble and Learn-, : ed L'brd, were negatived. The remaining daufeeof the Bill were then agreed to by the tomnattee, with fome further amendments, and-after the Haute refumed, the Bilk brought up from the Commons were read a firft time ; thole on the table forwarded, and' Come routine bullnefi Fated of; after which their Lordlhips adjourned till to-morrow. • r.

' The elaufe was agreed to. The Mae refumed, and the Report was ordered to be received tomorrow. SMUGGLING BILL. Counfel were then heard at the Bar, againli the At to prevent Smuggling, on behalf of the Jfland of Guernfey. Mr. Punasa, the Counfel, addrefied the Houfe at great length on this fubjed, in which the leading principles of his argument were, that the Parliament of the United Kingdom had no right to legiflate in ternally for the Iflands of Guernfey and Jetfey ; that they were not parcel of the realm, but parcel of the Crown, and de:cendible to the Crown, fo early as the Conqueft, as appendages of the Dukedom of Nor mandy, and that the authority of the Crown in thole iflands was executed by the King in Council, whofe precepts were forwarded thither, and being regloltred bf Ale Governor and Council in each ifland, thus be cume. the law, and hence this Parliament had no more right to legiflate for Guernfey and jerky, than for Hanover. Mr. Plomer fupported thole points with great kbility' and elm:pence, and dwelt much upon the powers eiropored by this Bill, for feizing the pet fons of the feamen and inhabitants of thole Wands, for crimes to be made by this law, committed within the jurifdiaion of the local Government tinder which they lived, and bringing them prifoners into this country, to be ttied and ponithed by a Nal& tribu nal ;tall which he confidered as violatory to the prin ciples of the law of nations. Counfel being withdrawn, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQWER rofe, and faid, - "that he bad liaised very attentively to the fpeech of-the Learned Counfel, and as many of the points urged'by him wore an air of argument and novelty that might appear to deferve foMe con fideration, he Amid have no objeftion, it' it was de finable to Members, to pollpone further proceedings on the Bill till to-morrow. At the fame time, be confidered that the-right of a Britifh Parliament to legiflate for thofe iflands, was . ellablithed by long ufags, and precedents in number, beyond all pol l ty of doitht. He therefore moved, that the third reading of the Bill be poftponed till to-morrow. Mrt WINDHAM role, he laid, with his mind very ftrengly impreffrd by the very forcible sap ments which he had MI heard from the Learned Counfel at the Bar, many of which, even in a confli tutiorral view required very ferious confideration, and maav which, on the ground of policy, fuggelled the neeeffity Of proceeding with cautions deliberation, before 2 taw was adopted creating crimes fubjea to very revere pundhments, and fuddenly operating too upon k people to 'whcan it'wnuld be totally new, and to whom, without fome more reafonable warning, it would, no doubt, be produeive of many ferious and vexations embarraments in the way of their trade. Revenue was certainly a good thing for a Minifter to look to; andlmuggling was a very great evil, which required 'the greited vigilance and exertion for its prevention; but in this cafe there were other con fiderations alin to be looked to; and firlt, whether this Bill could be fairly conlideted as a conftitittional infringement ups the alledgett independence of thole • 1.4 Viands inhabited eerteinly by a people of a very al`• dint fpirit, and who had loog,manifeßed their loyalty and attachment to this realm, and to whom, perhaps, at this particular crills„ it might not be altogether wire to give any feafible caute of irritation, by th e palling a law which could not fail to operate vera vtehea p n e y O v p e le r y o r n Pee ith d o Y rn it would ate, and thet i ou motives fel was w t h o i c h h a , operate, bad pot fully or fairly before them ; and, fe fta thore inands, m condly, whether in grafping at money , we might not rifk the lots of the itiands. He was not going - 1 0 q this moent the right of the counts to ie u gi ed fl i te il fora t the right of the &ring over the weak. It was to the prudence of the proceeding at this particular crifis that his doubts were diiefterf, He took Blame tb histfelf, that he had not attended to the previous progsith of the Bill, but he thought the objections to it %.-ere in no intonlideirble degree increafed, by the propofed law being brought in as a claufe io another Bill, intlead of being, as it ought, a diainft meafure, and being brought forward at In late a period in the Sefton. He was glad, however, the Right Hon. Gentleman had agreed to poßpone proceeding, but thought it *paid be to a more diftant day. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER an (were& th'at with iefpeet to the right of a Britillt Parliament to legifiate for thofe ifland•r, no doubt whatever could exifl, as the right hid been eflablith. ed tint; immemorial by ufage and precedent. H e did not feel it oeceffary to go quite fa far back, as th e Learned Connie' in tracing the queßion. ant it would be found, on recurring to the Rolls of Parlia. • mew, in the reign of Edward lII.' and - to the ft& tutee of Qteen Anne, that 'the British Parlinment bad paffenaws impofing duties on, and mimetic kgiflating internally for thofe Ulan& That the as of Habeas Corpus, in the reign of Charles 11. a- tended its operations to thofe Mends by name, in the fame manor-, as in this cenntry,• and that eis A A o f the sd of George IL impoted a fixpenny duty on (hips in their ports , for the (import of Greenwich Hofpital, to be colleaed by oacir; within that ,iflatids and here again was internal legiflation.-: The Aft of Settlement alto annexed thole glands to the Brig* dominions, and reqUired that ail civil and military °liters within thofe Winds, flienikl take the oaths of allegiance to the'Briti* Crown therefore thequeftion of 'legit:leave righeirait put heyotid all donbt. was aware of the Hon. atwitter,* obferva . don, as to the ardent fpirit of the inhabitants of thofe Mande ; that one was'mare jealous than the othei of its ariflocratical dignity, on the grointd of high defcent, and that the other might feel j,eafonfy on the (core of4bat they called the rights of fair trade; a very different confltoaion, however,fot that fpecies of commerce, from whit it urually . bore in this country. However, it would not be dented, that re venne was a matter of moil materiel cou fi deration to :this country in the midft of a war ; end when it was :remembered, that the lots of revenue ote • ationed - to the country by the fmnggling trade, carried on through the medititn of thole itiands, was not trivial, but enormous, be trailed the Haute would feel the neteftiy of adopting effenuai eltecks for reducing the commerce of thofe Wands to the fame controul with all the other branches of his Majefly's dominions. — Tint the meafure had not been threaded (nosier was trot hisfault : it was introthiced early in the &Mon, and printed atioie a month ; there was a petition againil it hefoie the Houfe for a confiderable time, and the parties were at liberty to come forward by their Counfel, if they had fo thought fit, in any former Rage of the bill, without waiting to the very lea Rage. Mr. GREY coincided in' the objections of Mr. Windham, and laid, there was one point urged by tire Cootie', which Rruck him as a circemilincefor very mature tonfideration ; namely, that of bringing perfons front within the jurifdi&pn of their own Laws and Government for crimes created by this bill. and trying them before a Britifit Court and jury.---: He would admit that finuggling was there carried on to a moil mirchievoul extent. He li-red OA a part of the coaft where be had opportunities' of knowing the fat; but he thought it *bald be wife to try if the evil could not be cheesed by other meant; without retort ing to a meafure of this nature. Were it in time of peace, the only effed would moll probably be IA transfer the trade now carried on at thee ;Rands to the French coaß ; but in'a peridd of war. and whet thefe iflands were to this cotintry - fe'viluable as a commercial medium, no ri*s esoold be run of a1.:4 infinitely greater than any benefit to be derived through the operation of this bill. - • Mr. FELLOWS alma reedit was a (tram 411; but k was admitted by all who bell knew the extent of the evil, that nothing but a thong meafure could check it. Mr. STURGES BOURNE thought it rather s (*range argument to offer to a Brlligh Parliament; that the independence of thofe Wands was lets injured by being governed under the more arbitrary principle of edies from the King in Council, than under the eon- Ritutional proteftion of a Bridal Parliainent.' With refpeB to the obfervation of the Honourable Member who fpoke lan but one, namely, the bringing perfons out of the jurifdietion of Guernfey and Jerky to be tried in England for crimes committed within that jorifdiaion, it was by no means intended by this Bill; and if the claufe was thought to be worded fo as to conirty that meaning, it would certainly be modified, for it was meant that all crimes committed within thole jurifdiEtions (hould be alto tried there. • The third reading was deferred till tomorrow. The Houfe went through a Committee on the 8,c00,0001. Exchequer Bulb Bill. Repert to.morrow. In a committee on the 5,000,0001.
