Lord ELLENBOROUGH said the' Bill-offered a preinimn 'far disturbance. The Constable Wes -al lowed 4100 a:year, while the Barony over Which he presided was in a state of peace, and WO y'bile it was in a state of disturbance. The motion was then agreed to, and the Bill was ; passed, after some verbal amendments proposed by the Earl of LIVERPOOL. aunt nrr.r.. Lord HOLLAND presented a Petition from some of the Inhabitants of Ipswich against this dived to lie on the table. The Earl of LIVERPOOL then moved the third reading of the Bill. He considered the principle of the 8111 as.sound, and as forming a 'part of the Co nstitution of England. It was impossible for those who owed to Ibis country only a temporary allegi ance, not at times to have conflicting duties interfering with that temporary allegiance. The protection given by the great darte r to alien merchants, and which had been so much relied upon, in opposition to the Bill, was intended for the benefit of the English com- Inunity, by encontaging trade with foreign merchants. It certainly could be no argument against the Bill, as far as regarded the question of the King's prero gative, because it was intended to restrain the gene ral prerogative. The Bill itself was, .he contended, conformable in principle to national justice; and, with respect to its powers, was nothing but an en forcement of the King's prerogative. This was clearly to be deduced from many cases in our constitutional history; but especially in a case which occurred in the reign of Queen Elizabeth. In the reign o( that Sovereign, a foreigner was apprehended on a charge of sedition, and examined before the Privy Council. The Council declared, that had the offence been com mitted in England, the accused would have been amenable to the laws of this country; but it being committed abroad, the Queen could only, in virtue of her prerogative, send him out of the kingdom.— Indeed, the present le4islative provision did nothing more than assist the exercise of the prerogative, .by giving a summary power to the Privy Council, in stead of the more dilatory proceeding by proclama tion. The sole question, therefore, for their Lord ships consideration was, whether, in the ptesent state of Europe, this power ought to be withheld from the Executive, after it had been entrusted with it since And as by Act of Parliament passed in the 55th year of his late Majesty's reign, entituled, " An Act for establishing a more easy and expeditious method for the Payment of Officers belonging 'to his Majesty's Navy," it is enacted by the 20th Clause of the said Act, " that if any Commissioned or Warrant Naval Officer, who shall be entitled to receive Half Pay, and shall be desirous to receive and be paid the same, at or near the place of his resi dence, he may apply to the Treasurer of his Majesty's Nav y in London, to have such nail Pay paid at or rear the place of his residenc,, &c. in the manner pointed out by the said Act."— And by a further Act passed in the 56th year of his late Dia jesty'e, reign, entituled, " Au Aet for enabling the Officers in his Majesty's Navy, and their Representatives, to draw for and receive their Half Pay," it is enacted by the Ist and 5d Clauses of the said Act, " that if any Officer in his Majesty's Navy, who shall he entitled.to recaWe any suns of money for or on account of Jut Half Pay, shall he desirous of drawing a Bill of Exchange for the same, urn the Commissioners of his Majesty's Navy, instead of receiving the same by Remittance Bill, he shall signify such desire by Letter to the Treasurer of his Majesty's Navy; and that if any Officer in his Majesty's Navy who shall be entitled .to receive any sum of Money for or on account of Half Pay, shall be desirous of having his Half Pay paid to him by Extract, At any of his Majesty's Dock Yards, where Clerks for the pay artent of Wages for the Navy shall reside, instead of receiving the same by Remittance Bill or Bill of Exchange, he is to apply either to the proper Clerk at the Navy Pay Office in London, or at the Pay Office at such Dbck Yard, signifying such his de sire." Notice is hereby further given, that the Half Pay ending Ilse 50th of June, 1822, will commence paying on the sth of August; and all Persons desirous of drawing for, or having their tllalf Pay remitted to them, may apply as above directed,. Mrst.—Bills of Exchange drawn under or by virtue of the ♦et above recited, are not liable to the Stamp Duty.

Lord HOLLAND presented a Petition from the Lord Mayor and Common Council ci the City of London, against the Or phans' Fund Bill.-psLald on the table. OMIT COgSTABLIT.S. The Earl of LIVERPOOL having moved the third reading of the Itith Constables Bill, Lord ITOLLAND a dmitted that the venom of the measure had certainly been much mitigated, fecal what it was when originally introduced into the other House ; but it was still so anomalous, and contained such cOntradictoki principles, that, at ' this time of the Session, he cbuldoeither exp lain it to the House nor to himself.. Be had no hesitation in saying that the Magistracy of Ireland tetpired mech . alteration. Mantuntlttfetsons ad befit Made Magistralcs, ar.d the. . agistlitcy of.the• cowry open to be c- , r . - rn _ on „e h of jolt', he had heard ipaisfaction all sides of the House express the disgu ticked by the continuance of a ceremony calculated only to insult the feelings a whole people. Rut it had been said . that the Lieutenant did not, pea sess rfse power of preventing it; now, as long as a Noble relation of his (the Duke of Bedford) had been at the head •of the Government of Ireland, be bad feand.the means of preventing that ceremony (the dressing of the Statue). He wished to ask whether. the Noble Earl opposite would consent to lay before' Parliament the grounds on which the CroWn Lawyers had epme to the opinion that it was not in the power 4 the Lord Lieutenant to prevent Orange Proem.; shins, and whether he would have any objection to adopt some measure or resolution to provide that the same should not happen on the 12th of July' next yea? If such a poier did not really exist, let Par liament confer it on the Lord Lieutenapt. The mat ter might appear to some of little importance, but there was no circumstance of real injury or oppres sion which had ever harassed the public mind in Ireland so deeply, as this annual insult. When the Noble Duke opposite (the Duke of Wellington) coin- Minded the Allied Armies in France, he would have had too much respect for the feelings of the people to allow his soldiers to celebrate-publicly the battle of Waterloo. The Irish felt precisely the same to wards the celebration of the battle of the Boyne, and he hoped that that cause of disturbance-and of heart burnings would be effectually removed. The Earl of LIVERPOOL had no difficulty in as suring the Noble Lord that, under all the circum stances in which Ireland was placed, no man could I eprobate more than he did, the continuance of that ceremony. The Noble Lord, however, had been mistaken in thinking that it had been altogether pre vented by the Duke of Bedford, 'during his govern ment. The fact was, that before his time the proces sion was a state procession, attended by the Lord Lieutenant, the Lord, Chancellor, and all the other State Officers. What the Noble Duke had done was to put it down as a state procession, but it was still carried on by individuals -and societies, without any participation on the part of the Government. This example had been followed by the Duke of Rich mond, who had succeeded the Duke of Bedford, and from that day to the present the procession had never been a - State procession. He repeated that everything had been done by the present Lord Lieutenant to per suade individuals not to have a procession, and that he would have succeeded, had not some provocation been given whidl had frustrated his intention. The Noble Marquis had tried to ascertain how far he could put down processions by law, and had found that it would be attended with great difficulty. The same would happen if they were to legislate upon the subject, asahe prohibition could not be confined to Orange processions alone, but must embrace other cases. Communications, however, had passed be tween the English and Irish Governments, as to the means of preventing that procession from taking place in future, in consequence of which, he wished that nothing 'should be undertaken by the House at present, as, if the disposition to avoid mischief was real amongst the parties concerned, he believed that the object in view could be attained. As to the Bill, it was true that it was very different from its original state when proposed in the Commons, and he regret ted it, as he thought the original would have been more effective, but even now it provided a material improvement. Was it not founded on a right prin ciple, that the appointment of Constables, so impor tant to the peace of Ireland, had hitherto been made in an abusive manner, and that a change in the system was necessary ? He admitted that the mode ru= tised in England would have been more constitu tional, but it would have been less applicable to the circumstances of Ireland, where it was necessary to bring in the influence of the Government. The be nefit of that mode had been proved by the example of Scotland, which was in as great a state of disturb ance as Ireland, until the Heritable Jurisdiction had been repealed, and the Magistracy had been carried on by Sheriffs' Deputes, nominated by the Crown. Since that time, there was no country in the world where justice was more impartially administered to the poor and the rich. The present Bill left the ap pointment of constables to Magistrates, but the Go vernment had the power of removing them, if they were improper persons, and of appointing others in their stead. He wished that power had gone farther, but as far as it went it removed an abuse, and he therefore thought the Bill entitled to their Lordships earnest support. Tile Earl of LIMERICK was willing to accept this measure as a partial remedy, but could not con cur in the panegyric passed onlhe Bill, as introduced in the Commons. He was convinced that if the men.. sure had been persevered in such as it was when pro poseJ, not a single respectable Magistrate would have been found wiling to accept office in Ireland. Lord ELLENBOROUGH thought that the reverie would have happened. He should say non content to this Bill, with the view of forcing Government. to' bring in a better and more extensive tneastu e next Ses sion. Justice muse, be administered, and .read pre served by Magistrates if possible, but at all events' they must be administered and maintained. What was wanted in. Ireland was one general apt= of Go vernment, and the present Bill, together with the' Acts of 1808 and 1814, presented no uniformity at all. The Earl of DARNLEY objected to thelrdiulner in which business w,as hurried through Airtime:lit, and especially through that House, • and wished for. .fairer opportunities of discitsition% • HO ihowlilt tfie i'•• • • 1792? It was likely to be the means of preventing this country from being embroiled in disputes with foreign PoWert, but it was not on this account that he asked for their Lordships' concurrence with the Bill ; for he wished it to be considered solely on English grounds. He would ask their Lordships to consider the revolutions which had recently taken place, and were now apparently in prospect on the Continent. He did not mean to give an opinion on the question who WAS right or who was wrong ; whe ther liberty had been indulged to excess, or whether Monarchy had grown into despotism. In either case, it was equally just that a power should be given to the Executive of this country to prevent foreigners from coming here, and plotting against the Goma. ments of their own country, no matter whether those Governments were free or arbitrary. He might here remind their Lordships of what took place shortly after the peace of An:lens.. The then Ruler of France had made a demand of this country for the expulsion of the French Princes. The Government of this coon try refused the demand, froiri a rep,ard to the princi ples of national hospitality ; but it, at the same time, took means to prevent the individuals in question from plotting against the existing Government of France. He mentioned this, not only to illustrate the principle upon which Government had acted under the Bill, but to shew also the moderation in which its powers had been exercised. In fot, thele had never been any disposition to abuse those powers. Since the peace, only fifteen individuals had been affected by it; and of these, only four during ale last two years. Oa the whole, he submitted - that the Bill was a fair and constitutional measure, formin g a part of the security of the country. Ile was well aware, that those who asked for discretionary power should be vigilantly watched, and that the power itself 'ought not to be granted but for reasons die most solid and well defined. In the belief, however, that their Lordships would consider the piesent measure able to bear this examination, he begged to move the third reading of the Bill. The Earl of DARNLEY said, that he should give every possible opposition to the Bill. It would, he said, disgrace the country in the eyes of foreign na tions ; and in entering his protest against it, he could not but express his hope that this was the last time he should have occasion to do so. Lord HOLLAND said he hoped this odious mean sure, this monster in legislation, would be allawed to die a natural death. It had been called a Bill tend: jog- to secure peace ; but since its first adoption, in the year 1792, this country had been involved in war I I which was unparalleled in extent and duration. He begged their Lordships' to recollect the conduct of the States of Holland, when they were applied to by King William to send the great Mr. Bayle out of their country. They answered, that they disapproved of his writings, and regretted the part he had taken in politics, but they neither would nor could violate hip /If their national hospitality, by forcing him away. He (Lord Holland) denied that there ihid been no abuse of the power given by the present' law. The seizure and treatment of M. Las Cases, at St. flelena,was as instance of gross and shameful abuse. His paper s were.seited ima manner w hi c h made the transactiob a downright robbery. The papers, it was tine, were afterwards returned, bus this . did not alter the nature of the injury. The eaiAence of Napokon had, on a 7:4: J 2,12
