Dialog a L.og period of his lice he had brio ranged on the same !side with the Gentlemen opposite, and had suppixted the same measures which they had countenanced, and though now appearing in opposition to diem, he could not accuse honselt of wanting political con sistency. The extreme , : of action approached more closely in effect titan lathy pt-rs'not Wir:. aware (If.-- Monarchicel principles, when pushed to an excess, were attenctd by itter:eqiienci4 no less dangerous to society, ll!dlt those of a democratical tendelicy. If the for:Tier succeeded. liberty must Fes the let 'ter, Government itielt was at an end; but the liberty of the cottim y was so claoly interwoven with ite hap piness, an:l was so essentially the principle on which our Cons:itutirm was formed, that any c.rcunastances by which it was en.fangered must affect the eststence of the Goveroment itself. Oii former occasions he had supported the Government to preserve it, and hr now oppoaed it with the same object. The cha racter and complex;on of Vie times had considerably altered ; things mere now done Which would n( t have been permitted in other times, and words now re ceived with displeasure, which were once the theme ot approbation. Of' this it - was unnecessary to ad. ranee any other instance than what had occurred on a former night, When an Honourable Member quo ed the words ot a Noble Orator, and said, that it the Constitution were in danger, he should prefer a revo lution to slavery. This sentence was met by the op. polite side not with a murmur, but with a clamour of disapprobation. Was the sentence new ? Was the principle adverse to that of our Constitution ? He should be glad to hear any of those Members who pitied in that clamour, get up and record his opinion, and expre.s h.s host lity to what had hereto- I tore been styled os the glorious Revolution." He should be glad to hear him state what his conduct would have been when Kiag William landed in this country, when, as it must appear to such Nlernber, the peopie entered into a traitorous &nit:piracy to pre vent King James from for,;iog the thaws of shivery --he should he glad to hear him explain the nature of his alle o i ince to the present Royal Family, who, on such principles, mato be Usurpers—(ll(ar, hear). When this subject of Islr. E.v ins's Peti.ion Was. on a former night, alluded to by him, in the House, the Right Honourable Gentleman (Mr. H. Addington) rose to reply with considerable warmth, when the authority of the Speaker interrupted the debate. No, Person bowed with more deference to the authority of the Cltaiethan be did. •• The time in which you, Sir," continued the Honourable Member, addressing: the Speaker, " have filled the Chair, is certainly short; but the House has been already able to ape l l pfeciate t! . .e manner in which you execute your high duties. It matters not now how particular Members might have voted on the diction, but the election being completed, there is none who does not reel sa thfactian at your elevation, being convinced that while you fill that Chair, and long may you fill it, you will do so ter your own hon , sur, and the advan tage of the House."--(!:ear, hear).—On that occa I lion, he continued, the Right Honourable Gentle maa asked, with some warmth, how could it be ei- I (acted that he should know what had happened within the walls of a prison Perhaps the disaribu non of ofbcial duty did not place the prisons under the Care of the Right Honourable Gentleman, but the Noble Secretary aif State far the Home Depart ment must be aware, either by hints-At or his agents, of covey thing salnch happened in the pri-ors, and must also be account able for it. great powers were required, great responsibility must be under taken ; and he would ask, if the Noble Lord had deprived toe State Prisoners of aH usu proiectiort, by preventing the visits of the public, or even of the. Magistrates ot the Counties; There might, un `-cloubteuly, be some disadvantage in admitting the ,visits of every individual; but in this case the exclu sion was niiversal. An Honourable Friend of bis, (Mr. Bennett), of whom, if not then present, to bnould say that he was one of doe most valuable Mem bers of the House, had been refused admittance to those State erisoners t and he believed it tne great Philanthroj.i .t (Mr. Howard), to whom every pri. son door was open in the must barbarous countries, • was alive, 'and Was ;. i present . imselt at the gai4 . , though he hims If hed appointed the gael•r, the dqor would be shut in his face. and the gaoler .t his ap. pointrnent would say to flint, 1.

Witir respect to Evans's Petition, that pa r t ot it which allteled to the interruption and stiscarriage of a tinnier Petition was .to be explained. It could not he supposed that a man would be mad etiongh to pewit in l e a Petition a circumstance which no knew t i he false, and which could be so easily de iected lay ats hirence to the Joura•ls.

The Petitioner lead stated that his impri. sieiment had affected his health, and, if it contieued, must endanger his lite.. It such were the case, it would seem that Parliament did not grant Minieters merely the power of iiiiptiatinment, but absolutely of lite anal death. Let those look to it whom it concerned and thine particnielly who sanctioned the exercise of such an authority. Allusions had on a fainter night been made to tht gaulers, wham he knew neither by name, by person, nor even by character ; and it was said that his evnipleints of the tteatniein of the pri. sours were a libel on the character of these gaolers. It was strange with what ease ti:) , who strained at a gnat would swallow a cam •1; and while they treat with the inoat pea tect indifference the liberties, toe. tunes, and even lives of peren,s, would yet rise with warmth to protect the character of a turnkey ! (11ear,hrar, hear.) It had been said that the pig). nets might petition the Secretary of State if they re.. quired the redress of any grievance; but they were to send their petitions through the hands of those against whom the petitiens were directed; but if it h4pptlied that the pri.oners could not write—(and here he omitted all dirficinties arising from a possible refusal of pen, ink, and paper,) and had no triondw e near them, should they ask the gaoler to assist them ? These yersuns were not remarkable for their nice kettles and i; um :nay, and might easily excuse them. eeives by t h eir inabi:ity to communicate the Petitioe.
