. .. _ of Commons formed a part of the law of the .land , ^ and •as such must be recognized in the Courts of Law. T e re was a distinction on which he would say a few words between the cases of the Speaker and the Ser jeant. He ,had understood abroad that the allega tion against the Serjeant was, not that he had exe ces.ed the warrant of the House of Commons, but that he had executed it in an unjustifiable manner. Now whatever opinion any one might entertain with re spect to submitting the privileges of the House of Commons to ) a Court of Law, no man could ques tion the right of a Court of Law to try the mode in which the ditty' imposed upon their officer by the House of Commons, in the exercise of their privile ges, had been executed. In case, therefore, of such an action against the Serjeant, he could not conceive the possibility of its being set aside merely by the entry on the record, that he had acted under the authority of the House. In the doctrine that the pri vileges of the House of Commons could not be dis cussed in the Courts of Law, he could not concur.— It Was extremely dangerous to say, that not any thing done by either House of Parliament in vindication of Its priviles, could be submitted to discussion in a Xcturt ()flaw. He would imagine the case. He wquld suppoie that if either House came to a resolu tion that any particular individual should not exercise that which was a legal right. Such a case had happened, and at no very distant period, The ' Irish House of Commons, a few years ago, came to A resolution that any- man who claimed agist. ; went of tithes was an enemy to his country !—A similar case might exist again, and would any one coltend that k ought not to bk submitted to a Court of Law ? Besides, there were cases of I-Meat Corftut, in which discussions had taken place in Courts of Law. An analogy had been attempted to be established between the cases of commitment by the `House . of Commons and commitment by a Court of Law for contempt ; and it had been contended, that when an individual was committed by a Court of Law for contempt, no other jurisdiction had a right sto ii terfere. There were instances, however, where a c mmittal for contempt by one Court had been de cid d by another, as erroneous. One most important case eras in the reign of Charles 11. when Penn and Mead. two Quakers, were tried at the Old Bailey be fore Jeffreys, then the Recorder, and acquitted,— . Jeffreys committed all the Jury for contempt, because they l ad founded a verdict against his direction. The ense,bowever, was brought before Lord Chief Jostiee Vaughan in the Common Pleas, who entered fully 1 Into the discussion, and held, tat though this was a committal for contempt, he had a right to enter into the circumstances of the case; citing many instances in support of his opinion, among Which he recollected that of Sir Nicholas Bacon, who had been commit ted for contempt by the Court of Chancery, and sub sequently discharged by the Court of King's Bench, 'because the precise mode of the contempt had not been stated. lie repeated, that in his opinion not any thing could be more dangerous than the possession by the House of Commons of such a power, free from the cognizance of the Courts of Law.. To the privi leges of the House of Commons be was a friend, for the privileges cf the House of Commons were the pri vileges of the people. They could be legitimately ‘ etercised, however, only for the good of the people, anci calamitous indeed would be the situation of the "House, and of the country, if the period should ever arrive when the people should be of opinion that those folvilcfcs were exercised, not for their protection, but or their oppression. Mr. WlNDHAMdeseanted at some length on the 0 'necessity of discrotionary and summary powers being lodged. in a superior Court, such as the House of Comitions.was. ''' 'The ATFORNEY:GENE,RAL observed, that tislion. and Learned Friead opposite could not sub 'scribe to the doctrine, that the decision of the House of Comttnns, in cases of privilege, ought to he con tlusiee in Courts of Law. He for one could not be suppoted to be inclined to deduct from the rights of the Courts of Law.. But the authorities quoted by the Right non. Gentleman opposite, who had spoken Right on the - subject, were perfectly satisfac• toil in estitblishing *at the privileges of the House of Commons could be decided only by themselves. - After -the i ble detail of those authorities he owned Oat he w ts a little astonished to hear the argument sor his. li.n. and Learned Friend. It the privileges of 'the House of Comm-ons were a fit subject of discus 'siozi in Courts of Law, how. many Judges had be trayed their duty by declining any interference with them ? This had particularly occurred to him, per• sons committed by the House have been brought up by ,Habeas Corpus. Among* the rest Lord Chief Justice Grey lied stated that the Court possesed no ju st isilietion over the privileges cf the House of Com mons, and-that the Court must give effect to those privileges by remanding the person broughi before it ' to that custody to which he had been committed by the House of , Commons. There were many other al Uuthorities to establish the doctrine that the Ruv,e bad a right to decide oil their own privileges, and tktt discussion was final. His Hon. and Learned 'Friend had recommended that a different plea should be put in by the Seejeant and the Speaker to the ac- •• tion. As' he understood that the defence was to be • entrusted fit his care (.although he wished . that some better qualified person might he appointed), he *wet it but risilit to say something of the plea.— 'His Right Hon. Friend had taken a good view of doe conduct of the Court of King's Bench in pleas of abatement. Hccould not but think that it was 'be province of thiJudges to decide on the plea. ile epoke ie the presejice of learned persons very compe tent to .correct hum, but it appeared to him that the proper plea would he a plea in tier ; and that was, that 'I he person bi ingieg the action could in no plea main, tain it. He apprehended also that whatever might appear upon: the face of the proceedings of the House with respect to "then- privileges , w o uld be received by _anyCourt as decisive , upon that eubject ; and concluded - by eitieOug'birovif ready to answer any quesions 1* eleatinilbehe put to hlrei iiy Hon. Gentlemen. Mi.

" b en or 4 i, k ies ieetblished, and he had, gies.lorel , , * to the pieseet . tuotion ! , . was apprehensive that by agreeing the House would put the privileges The Resolution was then put and carried without a dissenting voice. Mr. WYNNE then said, that be wished to know whether in future it was to be generally understood, that any body might bring actions of this sort against the House, without fear of its exercising the privilege of commitment ? A recent case had been determined in the House of Lords, upon a question of privilege, which he therefore considered as analogous to the present. A Mr. Hesse, a Justice of Pe gc, had acted under the immediate orders of that House, for the purpose of suppressing a riot. An action at law had been brought against him for this conduct, but the House of Lords committed both the principal and his agent, and would not consent to release them until they gave Mr. Hesse a discharge from his action.— He wished to know whether the House was now to be understood as abandoning that course of proceeding? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that he was net then prepared to give an answer to the general question ; but he would say, that in every particular case, he thought the House was perfectly at liberty to exercise its own discretion, and in the exercise of his best discretion and judgment, he did not at present think that it. was necessary to com mit the Agent. Mr. WINDHAM began to speak, but was called to order, there being no question before the House. PRISONERS OiP WAR. Mr. ROSE wished to know from a Noble Lord (Cochrane) whether he intended to bring on his mo tion respecting the treatment of prisoners of war in this country. Lord COCHRANE said, he had not lost sight of the subject, and would take an early slay for submit ting it to the House. mhtlnto Court of Law:He had no doubt( Lord MILTON %vs • • 'whatever AI the privilege of the House to commit; to the Resolution, the - but !'e a pprehended that the privileges of the House N out of their own hand!

The House having resolved into a Committee of Supply, Mr. CROKER moved, that a sum not exceeding ie1,511,009 be granted for Extraordinaries of the Navy. Sir C. POLE did not think there was any neces sity to keep up so great a force ; 1:30,000 men he con dered amply sufficient at present. The circumstances of the naval war were particularly favourable to a great diminution in the expence incurred by the main. tenance of our fleets. There were three -points in which reduction might be effected. He would propose that all old men, and such as had served since 1793, should be discharged. He would also recommend that the press-gangs should be every where discharged, except in the great ports. The Harbour Duty, be was of opinion, might well be 'dispensed with.— He regretted that the Estimates had not been sub jected to the examination of a Select Committee, which hi_had no doul,t would have suggested many savings. He considered the increase of salaries to the Civil Offirs to be very injudkions (though he would not say those persons were extravagantly paid) inas much as it was calculated to excite jealousies among the military "part of the service. The latter were not better paid now than in the year 1693. Then the wages of First Lieutenants of the first and second class of ships was 6s. a day ; it was no more now, and ten per cent. was deducted from it. The Honour able Member pointed out many irregularities, to which `he recommended the attention of the Board of Ad miralty. Mr. R. WARD replied seriatim to the objections of the last Speaker, and contended that all possible economy was practised. The Board would act most injudiciously indeed, if under the impre,sion that the fleets of the enemy were almost annihilated, they should let down the fleet of England, and have it to set up again. Though we had fortunately got rid of our naval competitors in the South, it was still pos sible that a formidable combination might spring up against us in the North. Russia had 16 sail of the line at Cronstadt ; she had a fleet at Archangel also. Sweden had 14 ships in her ports, and though he had no apprehension of immediate hostility from her, it was the duty of Goverriment to keep an eye upon her. / Captain PARKER considered the branches of economy, as proposed by the Honourable Admiral, as impracticable, without incurring the risk of great inconvenience to the service. Lord COCHRANE condemned the enormous dis proportion between the salaries paid to the officers of the civil branch of the Navy, and the pensions paid to office's who had lost their limbs in the Sery He quoted several instances of this abuse, from which it appeared that 13 widows and children of officers who fell hi the service, received less than the widow of a deceased Commissioner of the Navy.—The enormous sinecures of three persons, the Marquis of Buckingham, Lord Arden and Camden, would de . fray the pensions paid to all the wourkie.d oificers of every class in the navy. His Lordship mentioned several abuses in the payment of pensions. On look ing over the list, to his utter astot.islinent, he found the name of Anne Gilchrist, widow of Captain Gil christ, who, good woman t .had been dead these eight years. He could speak positively as to this fact ; for this Mrs. Gilch:ist was no other than his grandma then. His Lordship complained of the bad quality of the canvas used Ir. the Navy, and illustrated it by ' producing two specimens of the article to t h e H ouse . , H e condemned the employment of invalided seamen ..... in harbour-duty, which he considered, and he spoke from ocular demonstration, to be more severe than any he had seen the prisoners of Tunis put to. Mr. WELLESLEY POLE observed that the pen sion to the Military Officers had been of late much increased, and that the Noble Lord had not considered that the Commissioners of the Navy were often Naval Officers of great merit. He mentioned thai there were no sinecures '.n the Wellesley family except one of £4OOO a year, belonging to the head of it, and given when he went to India. Mr. WHITBREAD adverted to the proposed es ! tablishmeat of a naval arsenal at Northfleet, which he strongly recommended as a matter now of imperious necessity, and regre.ted that sums wrre wasted in use ' less repairs of the old arsenals, and in other unprofit able objects, which might have gone a great way to effect this great objcct. After a few observations from Mr. Rose, the Chan cellor of the Exclhquer, Mr. Croker, and Admiral Parker, the Resolution was agreed to, anti the report ordered to be received on tlonday,—Adjourned at haf-cast three o'clock (this Toning) to Monday.

We have ad vices from Malagaof the 14th of the same month, giving important news. The French, con trary to what has been stated, are still in possession of that port, and to conciliate both the people of Malaga and the South American colonies, King JOSEPH has ordered, that all Spanish ships fr om Cadiz and else where coming into the harbour shall be permitted to load, and proceed on Trans-Atlantic expeditions.— A new duty of 40 per cent. has been imposed on the importation of British manufactures, which before were allowed to enter the port free of imposts, if proved to be the property of natives German linens, and other articles of merchandize, are admitted with out being liable to any duty. Letters from Badajos, of the 21st ult. state the , re sult of various little skirmishes between small parties, which are reported to have been favourable to the pa triots. The Spaniards, we are happy to observe, avoid regular actions, and harass the enemy whenever they can attack their small detachments. The French parties which occupied the principal positions on the Tagus, are reported tohave retreated towards Madrid. The Siege of Astorga continues, the force of the enemy is 8000 infantry and 1500 cavalry. We have great pleasure iti announ7ing that our letters from Gibraltar state one important fact—the establishment of our intercourse with the Black Sea, which has been so long a desideratum in British Commerce. Yesterday morning the several parties who mean to be Candi date, for the Loan went up to Downing-street, and had an inter view with Mr. RERCEVA L. They were as follow : Messrs.

It Was asked of the Governors of the Bank, whether the Bank would, as usual, take in the Omnium after the second payme,., 1 To this they could not pledge themselves ; but it was not likely that Cary wettld depart from its usual course. It was asked also, what was to be the proceeding with respect to the payment in specie ? To this it was answered, that un Monday next it was expected tha:: the Bullion Cuintuittee would make its Report. Rumour says, that the sum to pay the Dividends on this Loan are all to be procured by regulatiu.i ui . xis .ne I axes, rather than by new duties. Mr. PaKCEVAL has pledged hir.iself to morlity the violence in the collection of the Ass,ssed 'I axes ; while Mr. GRENVELL has given notice of a motion to correct the rigour of the Property Tax. We rejoice in this; for certainly Nothing has contributed so much to put the nation into a t.rment, and to s:ir up the ill humour which is the real source of all the vehemeet discussions which have alarmed our Leaders, as the unbridled li cence which has been allowed to Survey , rs, A , ,es , ors, and In specters, to vex the Commun 4 !% by unjust sureharg , s. We are persuaded also, that nothing will curb this cia's of men, while it is a part of the principle to give them an i.i.ert sr, tog, her with almost complete impunity, in this most iniquitous practice. The remains of Lord CowNowooo were yesterday deposited in St. Paul's Cathedral. At Greenwich, the Pensioners, to the number of about 500, were drawn np in two Ines, and the procession moved from the Painted Chamber in the following order : • The Undertaker—the Mutes—the Chaplain. The Bony, carri-d by twelve veterans, Lord Collingweod's lag thrown over as a pall, and eight Naval Officers as Pallbearers. Tii. vra Rimers of the Hospital, beating the Dead March. rght wounded Lieutenants of the Hospital. Four wounded Captains of Ditto. Lord Hoop, and the Lieutenant-Governor. The above proceeded to the principal gate; the Body was then put into the hearse, and conveyed to St. Paul's Cathedral, where it arrived in the follow ing order : The undertaker—Four Mutes—Four Men on horseback. _ liannr of England—Four Men on horseback. The Coronet and Velvet Cushion, by a Man on horseback, bare• headed, supported by two Pages. Two Mutes on horseback. The Hearse, drawn by six horses, and ornamented with armorial bearings, and trophies emblematic of Isis victories. Pages attending. Eight Mourning Coaches, each drawn by six horses, and orna mented as ab ove, with Pages attending. A number of Gentlemen's carriages followed, among which were tbo.e of Lord Grey, Lord St. Vincent, Lord Mulgrave, the Lord Chancellor, Lord Cochrane, Hon. Thomas Grenville, Admiral Harvey, Sir Peter Parker, and about 30 other Admirals and Captains who had served under his Lordship. Lord CoIIL - igwood's Brother was Chief Mourner, and Spencer Stanhope, Esq. M.P. second Mourner. On their arrival at Sr. Paul's the doom were opened at the west entrance, and the procession was received by the Hon. awl Rev. Mr. Wci.i.esatir, and Dr. WaS•rou, the Minister., who per formed the funeral service. .-...-- The body was then taken to the vault under the Dome, and laid by the side of Lord NELSON. A Steward, who had st rved Lord CollingwoOd more than 11 years, was allowed to perform the last sad office to the remains of his master, by placing the co ronet on the coffin. The spectators were numerous, and the greatest confusion pre.. vaned in St. PaurS in consequence of the pressure of the crowd. Several old Greenwich Pensioners attended the funeral, from sin cere attachment to the tisemery of their once hunune And ollaut Commander. NAVAL orriswarrycz.

A Coroner's Inque..t sat yesterday at the Three Compasses, Portman-mews, on the body of John Crowe, who WAS killed by blows from a Life-Guards man, in Lipper George-street, Portman-square, on Monday night. John Beer, and three other witnesses, deposed, that on Mon d sy evening the deceased, a dustman, in company with one Ste. v,.ns and another, were drinking at the door of the Feathers, in li!og-street ; a quarrel ensued betwixt then sod some of the lif,:.(itairdsme 1. A number of the dragoons assembled with s• icks, and cha ged the populace, whom they knocked down without mercy. The witnesses deposed, that Stevens stripped to fight one of the I.ife-Guardsnien t and that the deceased w as ell ' deav ur.ng to part them, when a Corporal knocked him down with a stick, and two others of the dragoons kicked him on the body, a id I e diel shortly after, Alio:her man, who was in the affray, was also so hurt that his life is e le;pa,red of. One of the witnesses, Wise, acknowledged that the populace, in the neighbourhood of King - sleet bowicks, freq.'. ntly irr toted the Dragoons, by calling them the Pknodilly lumber, Perceva'.'s butchers, &c. but in this disturbance he diti not see any stones thrown at the soldiers. Messrs. I wee aid Hardinun Surgeons, stated it as their °pie ' nion that Crowe, the deceased, diet ? from the effects of a blo w rt e li vedved on the front of the head, whin% had caused about e :ght . ounces of extraiasated Wood to lodge in the c avity of the fore . brad. Quarter.
