~~ . . 94: PARLIAMENTARY ,PROCEEDINGS. HOUSE OF LORDS, MARCH 26. The Loan CHASCCLUM, the Earl of Sitarrassurr, and the Duke of MONTIIOIII4 w Ida Mill!qty . . Commissioners, brought , down the Royal Assent to the National Debt Reduction, the King's Property Regulation, and the Marriage Act Repeal Bills. Lord N GSTON presented a Petition from the Inhabitants of the Borough 6f Sligo, complaining that excessive tolls were exacted in violation of their Charter.--Laid on the table. Mr. t ottaxsaav, and others, brought the Prisons' Regtda tion Bill, and several Private Bills, from the Commons, Read a first time. the LORD CHANCELLOR reminded their Lordships that he had brought in a Ballast Session to amend the Bankrupt Laws, which tad net been passed through the House at the timtN in order that the subject should receive ample considera tion. it had since appeared that it would be better to under take the toneolidation of those laws, and lie wished to inform their lordships-that a measure to that effect would shortly after the recess be originated in that or the other house ; he was not yet prepared tirsay whicb. The Earl of LINEIWOOL presented Copies of the Corres pondence whit Lad taken place between his Majeity's Govern anent and,the Leril 'Lieutenant of Ireland, respecting the state of that cosintry.--,Laid on the table. Lord - ia t tifi.gresented a Petition from the Inhabitants of Reading, against the InsOlvent Debtors' Act. Laid on the table. SPAIN AND FRANCE. The Earl of LIVERPOOL rose to give notice, that' unless a circumstance should happen, of which he now saw little probability, it was his intention, on Monday, the Ilth of April, to lay before their Lord shipS.ail the documents relative to the negotiations which had taken place with Foreign Powers, on the subject 0C the differences between France and Spain. He should feel it his duty at the same time to give a general outlaw of the policy by which his Majesty's. Government had been guided throughout those ne gociations; but he should call for no opinion from the House. He should state what the papers which he should have to present were, and it would remain for Noble Lords to adopt the course which they might think proper. Earl GREY had heard with great pain the intim& tiou_given by the Noble Earl, that all hope of a paci fic arrangement between France and Spain was at an end. The Noble Earl stated that it was his intention, when be lay the papers relative to the negocia tions before the House, to explain the policy pursued , by his Majesty's Government, but without'calling for' any Opinion from their Lordships. He owned that be was actuated by feelings of more than ordinary I interest on that subject, and could not help thinking' that if a more proper course had been adopted by hisi Majesty's Ministers—if they had assumed a more de- , cided tone and language, and shewn a determination! to support it, neither this country nor Europe would ! be in the ntelanchbly and alarming situation in which' they now 'were. He also feared, if the Noble Earl should proceed, as he bad announced, that he and the! Noble Lords who might differ in opinion. with respect' to the conduct of Government during the negticia tions,.wOuld find themselves in this dilemma—either to allow the Noble Earl'lstatement tq go forth un., contradicted to the world, and thus prodrice an effect, which 1t would not otherwise have done, on :the pub lic mind ; or else toater prematurely into the ques tion without the possibility of deriving any benefit from the papers produced. He therefore hoped that the Noble Eat' would alter his course, and after lay ing the documents before the House, would adjourn his statement to a time when it may be made more conveniently, in a manner more consistent with fair ness, and when those who might be opposed to Dim should be in possession of all the necessary papers. In the state of things which was now evidently ap proaching, it was also of great importance to know the exact nature of our engagements with the Govern ment of France. Ile hoped that' none existed of which the public was not completely in possession ; and that if they did, this country was not so far fettered by them as to consider them binding, if the French Govern ment, by its own imprudence, folly, and he would say, iniquitous conduct, should alienate the feelings of its own people, and create a new Revolution. He also hoped that if such engagements did really_ exist, his Majesty's Ministers had not neglected toupprise that Government that under such circumstances they cuuld.not be carried into. effect. The Earl of LIVERPOOL observed, that when the Papers should be laid on the table, the Nowa would be best able to judge whether his Majesty's Ministers had assumed a proper tone or not at Verona, respecting the unfortunate differences which had takepe place. lle only wished that the Noble Earl would .not prejudge them as to what they had done.. As to the course which be proposed to follow, he could not conceive. that when important information was laid before the House, there could be anything unfair 'or improper in accompanying it by a statement •deteribing its nature. It must be recollected, that if 'the country were now entering into a state of hostili tiea, a Declaration would have been issued by Go- vernment, to shew its case to the People .aud the work!, and Papers would have then been called for to prove the solidity of that case. But in the present situation of the country, and' when it professed neu trality, such a course could not he adopted. As the informaticaa which would be produced came from different qulrrters and at different periods, the nego ciat ions having been carried on at one time at Verona, at another at Paris, it could not be understood with out an explanatory statement. If it did not give sa tisfaction, it would at any 'time be in the power of 'any Noble Lord to make a motion en the subject.— No pos'sible inconvenience could accrue from such a course, neither could it tend tocreate any unfair pre possession or prejudice in the public mind. It would on the contrary, it appeare4-tc him, afford assistance for hostile -motions to any Noble Lord, if such mo tions were intended. As td the relations.existing be tween this country and. .the Gavel/nine:it Of ,Prance, he could assuste the Noble 'Earl that there were no secret engageinents whatever to eiYntravene berpnb lic engagennents, such as they Were in the Treaties . they tang since laid before the Howse, and sanctioned by Parliament. And as to the Government of France, they were 'entirely of a negative nature, and com• pletely ;trailed to *the individual who had rultl/41 -matte as Eisweini, and to his family. There was,ho obligation on the part of this Country beyond Mu( -Was* contained in those !Amities. He .concluded -by tisdiring, Thai the tl.ouve 'do now adjourn to Thin's -44,* 14th day of ApriL ,hari -DAaNtsit wished that -a clear statement ' go e tilt‘i given Of-ihe itugnientation.which had taken place in our naval force, and of its distribution. Viscount MELVILLE said, that the amount of the augmentation could be ascertained by the vote of I - "eirik, I•okrvs,. ••• - 4 • three . thousand additional M • ainar.. ol • • House ; and that with regard to thadasttibutien* the naval force, he hoped the Noble Eiviwatild noti press his question. •-1 sari- fled Frith Earl GREY would have been r the. es: planation given by slie.Noble Earl, had it -not- been for one word which be bad used. He had said, that there was no secret engagement to contravene the public Ones contained in the Treaties already before the country. Now there might be secret Articles to extend the meaning and force of those ingageMents. Did the Noble Earl mean to say that the whole ex tent of our obligations, with respect to the Govern ment of France, would be found in the , Treaties now r; 114 before Parhainent? The . Earl of LIVERPOOL had no objection to take the Noble Earl's own words, and to declare— " that the whole extent of our obligations, 'with re spect to the Government of France, would be found in the Treaties now before Parliament.", Adjourned till the 10th of April. HOUSE OF COMNICINS. The Nouse was summoned to bear the 'loyal 'Assent given by Commission to several Bills. On the return of the SPEA KCK, he mentioned the Titles of the Bills, for which set the Lords. • Seiyeral Papers were presented from different Public Officr* and ordered to lie on the table, and boprinted.

Mr. Alderman SMITH presented a Petition from Vie Arch deacon of St. Alban'., prayinethat no further concession might be made to the Catholles.—Ordered to lie on the table. Mr. SYKES presented a Petition from certain Shopkeepers of Hull, complaining that they were assessed, io respect of their Houses, no the value of their shops.—Ordered to he on the table. The LORD MAYOR presented a Petition, signed by 1,600 Bankers and other Inhabitants of London, against the Insolvent Act. His Lordship offered some remarks in support of the Pe tition, shewing the abuseswhich existed under the present Act. Mr. Alderman THOMPSON concurred in the sentiments of the Lord Mayor. lie thought the law on this subject should be assimilated as much as possible to the Bankrupt Law. Mr. Alderman WOOD supported the Petition. Ho was sada fied the Citizens of London did not ask for any measure of se verity, but merely far one of.justice. Mr. T. WILSON coincided in the opinion which had been expressed that the Law of Insolvency should be assimilated to the Bankrupt Law.—The Petition was read and ordered to lie OD the table, and be printed. Mr. BENNET presented a Petition from the Inhabitants of Sligo, complaining of the premiere of the Tolls which were levied on that Borough, and of thst misapplication of the funds of the Borough. The Honourable Member presented a second Petition from three persons named Mott, conspialnieg of the effect of the measures adopted by Parliament for altering the Clurtney, and praying for an equitable adiustment" of Contracts.--Or dered to lie on the table.

He hidbad this . Petition in his hands a month, wishing to ascertain who the prosecutors were, but he could not find out who this Society of Vice were (4 !carats). liewould I call them the Society of Vice, or the Society fey the Promotion of Vice, for such they were. • lie bed, in deed, found out that some of his most esteemed friends were members of this Society— , persons who in their private life were most estimableeharacters, and who in this particular instance had been mistaken. They were, in fact, the means of spreading vicious publications, instead of putting them down, and -be would shew it to be so before)), had done. The Petie Lion stated that the Petitioner was shopwoman to her brother, and had been prosecuted for selling a work which tended to question the truth .of the Christian religion: now lie had read that publication, and must say, that he saw nothing in - it beyond fair contro versy. The Petitioner also stated, that in attempting to make her defence she was, at an early, period, ; stopt by Mr. Justice Best, who presided. He must' also observe, that he had read this defence, and was: bound to say he thought she bad been most impro-i perly so interrupted Ity. the Judge: there was no ar-i gamentAn that defame-which night not be found in: .:almost every Brisling library, and'the conduct adopted towards her had been, in his opinion, InCist Seveik.i The conduct adopted by.our Judges in the ;Present' day, on this - subject, was, be 'contended, semt erre- 4 neous, and Inch as tende d'to: put an end w all fair! disctiSsion.

Mrs. Cariile had now lain her twelve months, and since last Novem ber, in pi isofl ; she had petitioned the Lords of the Treasury for a remission of the fine; but the answer was, that their Lordships saw no reason for recom mending a remission of the fine. Hc could not hut consider-this as e most severe sentence, and one in consistent with the true spirit of justice and the Chris tian religion. He therefore called on his Majesty's Government to extend mercy to this unfortunate in dividual, and to recommend her to the Crown as one to whom the Royal clemency ought to be extended. • He concluded by moving that the Petition should be brought up.—The Petition was brour‘ht up and read. The ATTOHNST-GENERAL and Sir THOMAS Ac , LAKD rose together. The SIiEAKICH called upon the former, but he gave way to the Hon. Baronet. Sir THOMAS ACLAND said he knew no subject more difficult to address an Assembly upon than to -enforce ce severity of punishment on any individual, es pecially if that individual was a 'woman ; hut he did not now stand in that situation. He must first say, that he was a Member-of the Society which had been subject to the Hon. Gentleman's censures. He was, therefore,one of Mrs. Carlile's prosecutors, and should be most anxious to seize the first symptom of Teturr:- - - ing contrition to recommend her to mercy. lie did not feel it necessary to answer the Hon. Mernber's arguments respecting blasphemy, on this occasion, because it was to be brought forward by the Hon. Gentleman in a specific motion. Neither need he be at the trouble of adverting to what had been said by the Hon. Gentleman on the conduct of our Courts of Law. He would only say, he did not believe the Hon. Gentleman, in all his research, could discover ,any undue severity on the part of the Judge. As to 'the case of the Petitioner herself it was not a single Isolated case, as the Hon. Gentleman had said ; the House must allow him to state what had been the systematic course of blasphemy, of which this indivi dual's act formed only a single link. An inundation of horrid blasphemy had been poured on the land, at which every well-constituted mind must shudder; and at the head of which was to be found the name of Richard Carlile. 34e must read some passages from those publications; but he could assure Gentle. men the passages he should read would be by no means the worst, as he did not believe any man could be found who would have courage to read them in the face of any Assembly. R. Carlile was first 'prosecuted and convicted, and he must call the at tention of the House to an announcement of his, im -Mediately after his sentence, in which he gives notice, that the business of the shop in Fleet-street will in future. be carried on * .under the superintendence of 1 1E217 Ass Carlile. She Address also declared, that although the Society:for the Sisppression of Vice had elikoroyed one-web, a veryohort -time would serve to construct another and-at.better; and if the thieves - of, the Law should again:invade thehouse in Fleer-street. a shop would betaken in the-neighbourhood, in,which the business would still be carried on ; and, in fact, it had been carried on by his Agents up to the present time: and he, the Arch Blasphemer, was in the habit of sending out from his prison —from the place of his punishment, as from his castle--additional blasphe- Mies. His sentence, it wps true, had expired ; but he felt no inclination to come out into the world ; cause if hedicl, although he could safely blaspheme from hieprison, the laws of his country, if he was at ,large, would soon send '14133A1 - oath that soil of which he had rendered himself unworthy. The- Hon. Mem ber then proceeded to read passages from the various publications of Carlile, denying the truth of the Holy Scriptures and the Christian Religion; and entreating every one to cast the Bible fat from them, and never to read a word of that Book teeming with lies, blas phemy, and fraud. After what he had stated, he thought no one would charge the Society with pur suing these prosecutions with unnecessary severity.. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL; after the state went of his-Hon. Friend,• did not think it would be necessary to say a single word in defence of this pro secution ; on the contrary, he was persuaded every Hon. Member would feel that the country was obliged, to the Society for their exertions to- put down vice. and blasphemy such as that which had given rise col the prosecution of Mary Ann Carlile ; but the con duct of the learned Judge had been censured becausel he had stopt Mrs. Carlile not from making her de fence, but from repeating and reiterating all and :DM: than the blasphemy contained in the original publi-: cation. If such a course was to be allowed, then in-: deed these prosecutions would be worse than useless, they would be mischievous.—Next Mrs. Carlile corn plaineilthat a new trial had not been granted . her; why, the ground on which she applied was, that she had been stopt in reasliag what she called her clefehie, but the whole Court were decidedly of 'opinion .that ,she bad been rieitly stopt. Next she complained of the amount of it riquired-4hy the bail required was only two house-keepers in 4;100 each, and he . would ask if anything could- be more moderate ?. 'The Hon. Gentleman had also advanced a doctrine the' most dangerous which could be sustained, natnely, that Juries, before they found a verdict of pithy; should consider the punishment . which would follow. If such a doctrine could be established-it would prove destructive' of ell public justice..-.: , 0n a full view of the case, ere Was persuaded there was not a single in dividual in the House *ha woul4 think thie karma was one ottoOgreat severity.. ••• . , Mr. RICATWO agreed us the arguments of his Hon. Friend the Member for Montrose, that these prosecutions were mischievous instead of useful. He was convinced they could-do no good, and-must do harm. -He complaine d that blasphemy was an un defined offence . ' - What was blasphemy in this country was not blasphemy in another ; and, after the most - Mature deliberation, he was of opinion there ought to 4e - rio pitosectitions for religious opinions. He had looked at' the practice of the Courts of Law with great dissatisfaction, as to the manner in which it treated ieligtoos subjects.

Ann Carlile _had stood by itself, tfie-Crowe might have been justified in-mtending to ber its mercy; bat • it was mere sephfsag end delusion to pretender sup pose that it was an individual case; it was part of a combination to comhat, and, if possible, to triumph over the laws, and. to" attack religion for the sake of pecuniary emolument. The Right Hon. Gentleman referred to the prosecutions of and sentences upon It. Carlile, Mrs. Carlile, and Mary Alin Carlile, in 1819, 1820, and 1821, to shew that the• whole was-a conceited plan. lie contended further, that the sen- • tence of the Coen wis nothing like a eentence of per petual imprisonment: Mary Ana Carlile had ice fused to pay the fine imposed ; and as soon as she luta endured an imprisonment that might be deemed equi valent to the fine, if he continued in the office he now had the honour to hold, he shoeld advise the Crnitin to act towards her upon the same principles that go verned its discretion in other cases. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT complimented the At torney-Genetal and the Hon. Member fet Devonshire (Sir T. Acland) upon the ingenuity they had dis played in keeping out of view various topics im portant to the case, but which it might have been in convenient for them to notice. The object was, by an act, not so much of mercy as of justice, to relieve an unfortunate woman whose further sufferings conid be of no avail to the ends of public justice—(Hear. hear).—The continuance of her imprisonment could • only have the effect of exciting sympathy, while the remission of it might afford Ministers an opportunity of withdrawing from an unseemly contest with the Carlile family. He hoped, that all Englishmen would here leave out of consideration all matters of religious opinion, and look upon this case as oae of gloss and cruel oppression. He agreed fully in all that had been said by the Hoiteurable Member for Portar_iing ton (Mr. Ricardo),. and was cor the dishonesty, but of the fluilitv to subvert opinion by acts of man, no friend' of justice, no Ai Clsrist:an religion, could sancti 'ions for religious tenets.
