He believed those great men who op posed the Bill at that time, if now alive, would reaiily declare their conviction, now that they had seen suc ceeding events, that the Bill was necessary--p(Hear, hear). —And more, that .had it not been for the mea• sures of 1793, they would not now have had the power of debating this question or any other. If he were asked whether he considered an Alien Bill as neces sary naw as in the year 1793, he should say, no. He believed the revolutionary mania, amongst the higher orders, had died away ; and amongst the lower classes, wholesome laws had cured the ev il.— He had no fears of revolution or rebellion in Eng -1 tnd, and in Ireland he was persuaded no case would arise but what the laws would be able to restrain or put down; but still he considered that, as regarded our foreign relations,. this Measure was necessary. The unsettled state of many of the Governments of the Continent, the ancient Governments, and the safety of new Governments, required this measure. There were no less than thirty thousand foreigners in this country ; of these thirty thousand individuals many, ,no doubt, were amiable characters and good subjects ; but there were also amongst them many turbulent, dangerous, and desperate individuals to be found, and he would say the people of this coun try had a right to the present measure, as one of pro tection against such individuals as he had described. But his Hon. and Learned Friend had argued this question as if this country was made only of Aliens, and as if the subjects of this Empire had no claim v.hatever for consideration. In the present state of the Continent of Europe, the responsibility of that part of the Executive Government which had to con duct our relations with foreign Powers was most de licate ; and as to the abuse of power which this Bill gave them (he did not speak of the present servants of Governmer:t only, but of all who might follow), it was impos,ible Gentlemen could be found who would sanction sucti abuses as his 'Learned Friend had ima piled. He denied that this measure was brought in as a matter of favouritism to any Governments Whe ther France, Austria, Spain, or Portugal, should call for its being put in force by us, the interest of the one would be attended to as well as the other. It was the duty of the Government to act impartially, and he defied any man to. produce an instance in which the Government had acted otherwise. Mr. SCARLETT strongly opposed the Bill, as unconstitutional and oppressive. It gave, he said, an arbitrary power over the liberty of a number of unfortunate individuals; and it was the more objec tionable, since this was a power without responsibi lity.—(tieur;)---It had no one single feature of justice about it. He objected to the putting of such a power in the hands of any Minister over the meanest of the country. But even supposing there migtetrori ginally have been a plausible reason for passing this Bill, his Hon. and Learned Friend (Sir James Mack intosh) had clearly shewn that the reason upon which it had passed no longer existed. The Learned Member declared his intention to vote for the Amendment. Mr. HUMS moved an adjournment of the debate to Monday. After a few words from the Marquis of LotrooMmiror and Mr. BItOUGHAII, the gallery was cleared for a division — For the adjournment - 16 Against it - 166 Majority m 4-450 The House then divided on the second reading of the Bill.

The Austrian Observer of the 3d instant, which has been received by express, contains a paragraph on the pacific state of the negociations in the East : " On the 6th of May (this• Paper observes), it was announced in the Divan, at which the Chiefs of the Janissaries were present, that the evacuation of the Ptincipalities was decided on, and that henceforth the places of the Hospodars would be filled by na tives. This determination (it is added) was heard with unanimous satisfaction." Private letters from Lisbon, received yesterday; state that the Portuguese Government had offered to Spain, in case a war should take place between that Power and France, 50,000 men.—The Cortes of Por tugal has authorised a Committee to report the amount required for anew loan, by which, it is sup posed, they have sanctioned the raising of a new loan. We have received intelligence from Spain to the 7th instant, which possesses considerable interest. A Gazette Extraordinary was published at Madrid on the 3d instant, containing an account by authority . of a commotion at Valencia, on the 30th of May o which arose from an insignificant cause, and te:mi nated without any result, though for a few hours it occasioned not a little alarm. In the evening of that day, on the entry of a detachment of artillery into the citadel to fire the ordinary round, a cry was raised of " Long live the absolute King !" " Long live &to and " Down with the Constitution !" The persons who joined in this seditious tumult consisted of be tween seventy and eighty, who deposed their Commandant, and proclaimed &to as their Chief. As soon as the Military Authorities heard of this mad attempt, they presented themselves at the gate, and endeavoured to undeceive the insurgents, in or der to prevent the necessity of resorting to acts of rigour. Entreaties were fruitless, and force became indispensable. The jegiment of Zamora, battalions of national militia, the pupils of the military college, and all classes of' the citizens, in a short time sur rounded the fortress, and as the insurgents still re fused to yield, opened a fire upon it at four o'clock on the morning of the 31st ultimo. At seven o'clock the infatuated men surrendered at discretion, and they were lodged in prison to wait the award of law. This affray was attended with little bloodshed; one of the insurgents only being killed and three wounded. The Officers of the rebellious Artillerymen refused to take any part with them, even though their lives were threatened. Et.ro, who was too prudent to place him self at the head of the undisciplined rabble, has, how ever, taken advantage of the confusion which it created to effect his escape from an almost hopeless confine- L ment, and taken: efuge in an asylum nearly as hopeless. He is said to have retired into the powder magazine, and threatens to blow it up if any one approaches to apprehend him. It is stated in a letter from Madrid, of the 6th, that the Cortes had rejected the proposi tion of M. FERRER, against the new loan, by a very great majority. The proceedings in Parliament last night were un usually interesting. In the House of Lords, the Mar quis of LANSDOWN brought the state of Ireland before the House, and concluded a powerful speech by mov- ' ing that the subject should be taken into immediate consideration, with a view to improving the condition of the people, and more especially to insure the tran quillity cf Ireland. The motion was h however, rejected. In the House of Commons, Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH, , in a strain of impassioned eloquence, contended against the second reading of that monstrous anomaly in le gislation, the Alien Bill ; his eloquence was, however, unavailing; and a Bill, which is both obnoxious and injurious, and for which the Government can give no better defence than Slat pro ratione voluntas, was read a second time. Another subject occasioned a lively debate in the Lower House. It began with an attack on the Peti tion from the County of Kent, pi.aying for a reduc tion of the National Debt, and afterwards diverged into a course of crinfinntion and rectimination, from which scarcely one of the speaking Members were exempt. Each individual seemed a sort of Ismael, tongue was against every one, and every one's against him. The discussion was only im. Yesterday Earl Sr. Vniciscr had in audience of the Kuta.

In the Sitting of the Chamber of Deputies on Tuesday, M. de- Vit.m.a, the Minister of Finance, drought forward his Budget for the year, it being, he said, the fist time since the Restoration that the public accounts were regulated in due time.— The charge of the Public Debt and Sinking Fund he stated, for the year 1823, at 228,724,2601; The Civil List is estimated at 43,000,0001.

The Ist Royal Dragoons, it is understood, are destined to oc cupy the Barracks in Canterbury, and the Kent District. The depot of the 16th Lancers is ordered from Romford to Maidstone. A detachment of the 11th Light Dragoons, consisting of 80 men and one Officer, left the Cavalry Depot at Maidstone, on Wednesday se'nnigbt, for Grave:arid, and on Thursday morning embarked on board the Dorsetshire East Indianian, for Calcutta. Tuesday morning another detachment of the same Regiment, consisting of 70 men and one Officer, marched from Maidstone for the same place, to embark on board the. General Hewitt East Indiaman, for the same destination. The East India Company'd troops, Infantry and Artillery, under the command of Major Hay, now quaztered in Chatham Barracks, will remove at the end of this month to Brompton Ordnance Barracks, for whom there have been made arrange meats for the occupancy. Five of the soldiers belonging to Maidstone Cavalry Depot, have, with a generosity which redounds to their credit, volun tarily subscribed the sum of £6O towards the fund now raising fur the distressed Irish—being their share of a seizure of con traband spirits, made by them a short time since, at Cozheath.

The boat bad twenty-six persons on board, and, although drawing fifteen inches of water, she was propelled by only four men at the rate of between four and five mites zn hour, while the agitation of the water, being confined erri-ely to the centre of the canal, was observed to subside long before it reached the banks, and consequently obviating its hitherto d..- structive tendency in washing them into`the canal.
