On the left—Bravo,braroi—This exclamation was repeated.by some persons in the public tribunes._ The Chief of Battalion went out. Shortly after wards both folds of the door, opening into the anti chamber of Pas-Perdus were opened, lend a strong detachment of the gendarmerie, led by the Colonel, the Chief of Battalion, and the:Lieutenant, promptly entered the Hall.—( Violent murmurs on the left side). M.de fit RA RDlM—This is the. first step towards the degradation of the representative dignity. The Colonel of the Bens d'armerie, addressing M. Manuel, said—Sir, I leave received an order from the President to make you leave this Hall. If you refuse, and oppose us by resistance, we shall be com pelled. to employ force in order to execute the law— ( Violent murmurs). M. de Gianni:int—The law cannot authorise so arbitrary. an act. The Colonel, in reply—The gendarmerie have only come to second the efforts of the National Guard. Oh the left—No, ! The National Guard have d Me . their . duty; they have refused.

Manuel descended the steps leading to the anti-chamber of Pas-Perdus. M. Bondy made him self very conspicuous by the violence of his gestures. M. Kennel was hurried nut, followed by all the left side, except M. Sebastiani. The left centre continued in their places. The most Violent agitation prevailed amongst them. The Members of the right resumed their places. LANE DE VILLEVEQUE addressed M. yorbin quarts. We believe in terms of complaint of the violence wbich,had been exercised towards a Deputy. At half-past three o'clock the President again took . the: Chair, obtained silence, and announced that the Sitting was resumed. The agitation was, however, too great to allow of business,' and after a short time, and some ineffectual efforts of the remaining Deputies to speak s the As-. sembly adjourned. PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS. HOUSE OF LORDS. MARCH 6. Lord FzTzaoY Somassirr. and others laureled the House that the Commons had agreed to the Marriage Act Amendment lull without amendment. The same Members also brought from the Commons the Scotch Creditors' Bill, which was read a first time.

The geri of LIVERPOOL brought down a Message from his MAJESTY, which was read by the Loan CHANC6ILLOIL For which set the Commons. On the motion of the Earl of Lresntoot., his Majesty's Mes sage was ordered to be taken into consideration this day. IRELAND. The Earl of D.IRNLEY did not know whether it was quite regular to allude to what had passed in another place; but wished to ask the Noble Earl opposite whether it was his inten tion to lay on the table the documents front the Irish Govern ment, relative to the measures in contemplation with regard to Ireland, which had been produced in the other House? He was aware drat a disposition existed on the part of the Noble Lord at the head of his Majesty's Government not to acquaint the House with the measures which had originated in another place; and that they were left in the dark till a late period of the. Session, when there was no time to discuss them properly. Ile hoped that in the present case the subject would be deemed of iufficient importance to induce the Noble Earl opposite to lay the documents in question before their Lordships. If that course were not pursued, he should think it his duty to make a motion to that effect. • The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, that there was no docu ments upon this question which had been laid before the other House, which would not also be submitted to their Lordships. All leghlative measures must originate in one House or the other, and it was not the effect of neglect or indifference to wards either, that priority of information should be possessed by the one where the enactment had taken its rise. He was aware that documents bad been laid on the table of the other House, and would have no hesitation in submitting the saute to tleir Lordships.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Mr. M. A.T AYI.O It presented a Petition from Charles Greg son, late of Grosvenor-square, decorator of houses, complaining of injuries sustained under the Bankrupt Laws.—Ordered to lie on the table.

Gentleman observed, having lately opened a Budget more satisfactory than auy he remembered to have heard for many yeses, had" of himself proposed to relieve the country from certain burdens which he thought might be re mitted. In consequence of this, he must now state to the house, what he had already told his Constituents, that he could nut support at present the prayer of this Pet itiou for s a repeal of the Coal Duty. He was i .hOwever, glad the subject bad been taken up, as be considered it well entitled to attentioa.—The Petition was ordered to be printed. Mr. DENISON presented a Petition from certain Merchants and Manufacturers in the parish of Bermondsey, against the •In solvent Debtors Act. One of the persons signing this Petition the Hon. Gentleman stated to have had hi persons on his books from dividend.-- 13 e he had not received one farthing dividend.ThZ Petition was ordered to be printed.

MESSAGE FROM HIS MAJESTY. • Mr. Secretary PEEL appeared at the - Bar with a Message from. the Crown, which was brought up and read by the SPEAKER. " His Majesty being informed that doubts have arisen touch ing the powers vested in his Majesty to dispose of certain free, hold and copyright land, of which he was possessed at the time of his accession to the Throne ; and being also informed that doubts have arisen as to the power of his Majesty's suc cessors to dispose of such freehold or copyhold property as they may be entitled to at the periods of theiraccession to the Throne, recommends it to his faithful 'Commons to take the subject into their Consideration, and. make such arrangements as they May think proper. (Signed) " G. H." Mr. Secretary PEEL then moved that it should be referred to a Committee of the whole House to-mor row, to take his Majesty's most. gracious Message into consideration. Mr. BENNET suggested, that it might be better to postpone the consideration of his Majesty's Mes sage till Monday, as it was known that many of the Gentlemen who sat on that side of the House could not be in their places tomorrow. Mr. Secretary PEEL thought it would be advise able not to defer taking the Message into considera tion till Monday. The Hon. Gentleman was aware that,- after 'the Committee had sat, a Bill must be in troduced ; and, in any of the stages of that Bill, a . sufficient opportunity would be afforded for opposi tion to the arrargement which would be proposed, or for offering any observations which might seem called for. The Army Estimates stood for to-mor row ; and he therefore thought it likely that there would be satisfactory attendance early in the even ing. Under these circumstances, he was sure the Hon. Gentleman would have no wish to depart from the established usage.—The motion was agreed to. CASE OF COLONEL ALLEN. • • Colonel DAVIES called the attention of the House to an instance of the manner in which the enormous power possessed by the Crown over Officers in the Army was exercised. He held in his hand a Petition from Colonel Allen, who, in the year 1817, was with his Regiment in Guernsey, where General Bailey was at that time stationed. Colonel Allen Was accused by General Bailey of making false returns. The Co lonel upon this demanded an inquiry into his con duct. General Bailey having preferred this accusa tion, had seemed to think the matter aught to rest there. Unable to acquiesce in this, Colonel Allen had written a letter to - head-quarters on the subject, and at the end of three months be had been brought to trial, not on one, but on three distinct charges.— These charges were, that he had made false returns ; that he had tried men by Drum-head Court-Mar dills ; and that he had placed more men in certain Barracks than those Barracks were calculated to hold. On the first and third charges he was found guilty of the facts charged, but these were proved to amount to mere technical errors and misconstruc tion of orders, and the decisioni of the Court were qualified atcordingly.. , On, the second charge, with respect to Drum-hrae.Cciurt-Martials, he was con ' victed without any similar qualificatipo of the ver dict. With respect- to Drum-head Court-Martials, he might be allowed to observe, that they differed not from other Court-Mai tials so much as some Hon. Members might suppose. -The evidence was not taken down' in them, but the Members were all on their oaths the same as in the others; His Royal High ness the Prince Regent had been pleased to confirm the finding of the t °nit, and had sentenced Colonel Allen to be reprimanded. But, not satisfied with the severity of this sentence, Colonel Allen had subse• quently been removed from the 55th Regiment, his continuing in the command of it having Seen consi dered to be inconsistent wish the - well-being of the Corps. It was intimated to him that he might retire on half-pay, or leave the service altogether by sell ing his Commission. He (Colonel Davies) had no he sitation in saying, that whoever had advised this ad; dition to the sentence of a Court-Martial,had advised the Prince Regent to do that which was illegal. Co lonel Allen had preferred retiring on half-pay. The circumstances under which he must have sold his Commission were such, that, in fact, the punishment inflicted on him amounted to a severe pecuniary fine. The Hon. Gentleman quoted from several military authorities, to shew that the Crown could legally make no alteration in the sentence of a Court-Martial, unless it were by exercising the prerogative of mercy to mitigate its rigour. Under these circumstances, :Colonel Allen threw himself on the consideration of that House, in the hope that, though he was a mili tary man, he should not be denied that justice which was not denied to the meanest individual in the State. The Petition having been read, on a motion by Co lonel Davies, that it should be laid on the table, Lord PALMERSTON said he should not oppose the motion for laying the Petition on the table, but he thought it necessary to trouble the House with a few observations. It was generally admitted, that there was no subject into which it was more incon venient for the House to enter, than thequestion as to the power of the Crown to dismiss its own officers in the Army. No practice was more ancient or more undisputed than that which was now complained of. The Sovereign had always exercised the right of dis, missing his officers, whether they had been condemned by Court Martial or not, and assigning, or declining to assign, reasons for such'removals, at its pleasure. This f power was necessary, inot for the sake of the Crown, but for the benefit of the People, and the security of the Constitution. But in the case of the present Pe titioner, he had not been dismissed, but,.as lead-been stated by the Honourable Gentleman, the alternative was given to him of retiring on half-pay : or' oittin the service altogether, by meant of the sale~ et h Commission. This, then, art at) eventsi: was not la case which called fox ; the interfetintt Of. thii 'Honiei" But still stronger grounis "eould be given jibe chili- . Inon-interference..

Colonel DAVIES denied that he had mar such asieritiin as that imputed to him. Lord PALMERSTON had not meant to i language to the lion. Member which he h: used, but bad been led into this course of arg from the stress laid upon the point to which / alluded by Colonel Allen himself. The second to which he should advert was that of mini, Mimes of certain men in his returns. The fact these. The Commander in the Island of Go had received notice of the frequent Court 7 M, that took place in that island, and of chef:wpm poral punishments. His orders were to dimini frequency of corporal punishment, if possible. ing that species of punishment so often inflict the 55th Regiment, that between January and . 79 men had been tried, who had received lashes, General Bailey was induced to call return every morning of all offences which had committed after eleven o'clock on the precedini With the names of the.offenders, the offences they had previously committed, the punish they had received, and their dates. Might it expected that the return-thus called for won/ made him acquainted with every offence commi What then was his surprise, on going into the pital on the 11th of April, to find two person ing under recent punishments whose names hat been reported to him. This led to an inertia result of which was, that, between January and . there had been fifteen men tried, whose names not appear in the returns, who had received them-1,750 lashes. It was a most extraordinary construction of the orders which had been • that these names should have been omitted. i Court-Martial, in finding Colonel Allen guilt: sidered that such a misconstruction might hL curled, though it was but reasonableto suppose if Colonel Allen had entertained any doubt subject, be would have expressed that doubt neral Bailey. Let him take, then, which alternati he pleased. If he understood the orders, his col • had been marked by extreme negligence; if ' not understand them, such a person was not continue in the command of a regiment. The charge against him was, that he had tried sew.. y a Dram-head Court-Martial in the course of teen days, during which time General Bailey been.absent. The ordinary Court-Martials afford) time for the accused to collect evidence for tht fence, and the case of each individual was 'being disposed of with due deliberation. A head Court-Martial was much more summar course of proceeding. He did not say that a. head Court-Martial was not sometimes necessal a case, for instance, where neglect occurred w 7 army was in the field—where a mutiny had ,ciut, or where any circumstances had arisen made it important that an immediate example be made. But what was the case here? In peace—the regiment at home—and only her march to the usual parade—was this the which-a Drum-head Court-Martial was to be and which, in point of fact, was held within SO .oftheOrdirly-rtioni of the Regiment, in which gular Court-Martial might have been assembled. 'much for the locality—and now he came to whether the case was one of emergency. This tainly was not, as the offences charged had been mitred on the 22d of the month ; the trials di take place till the 24th, and some of the sent were not carried into execution till the 28t1 much for the emergency of the case, and the which was deemed necessary. The fact was, were no grounds for calling a Drum-head.l Martial. Nay, two of the men that were tried committed no offence at bead-quarters, but hr sent in by outposts to be tried in the ordinary LI-le would now state the nature of the offences 'bad been thus proceeded against. The first which it was thought necessary to try bet"( Drum-head Court-Martial was that of a mat had put two cartridges into the breast of his Instead of placing them in his cartridge-: Hear, hear).—For this the offender had been tenced to receive twenty-fiye lashes—(llear, hear' The next case was that of William Kingstor was charged with offending against a General of March, but where, when, or how the offen, been committed, did not appear ; so that had beeq given him of trial two days before, lu hive known how to ;defend himself.
