What then must havelseen the surprise and the paiwof your humble Petitionee, when lie saw in the itepost of your Lordshipe Secret Conimittee this Loudon Union Society represented but only as being cill in existence,'but Meetly and extensively at work, establishing branches and affiliations, catryin on an active coi respondence, infusing life itito Societies of Spenceati Phalan. thropists, and producing by these fueans plans of conspiracy, re. volution, and treason ! And though your Petitioner is toe well assured or the uptight views and of the justice lit every Commit.. tee consisting of Members of your Noble and Right Honourable Noose, net to lie convloced that very stroug evidence in support of these charges niust have teen produced so your Lordships Se. cret Committee, your Petitioner cannot, nevertheless, refrain mum express ng most humbly his deep regret that your Ler& should unt Lave deigned to send for the Boobs and other testinioniels of the character and proceedings of the London Union Society ; and your Petitioner humbly begs leave to observe, 'het tide omission appears sitieularly unfortunate fir the London Union Society, seeing thatthe Secret Coliffiiitiee of your Lordships aweer, in anteher part of their Report, to lament the want of means of obtaining the erri!itil primeedings of Stier ties, and seeing that it was natural to owes: that a Society have hag branches, an Ablution, and ass act.ve correspoudoice, had also a copious collection of written dOcumeitts.

His Lordship obso red, with regard to the Petition he had thus read, that it contained statements which it was of the utmost importance the House Would thoroughly examine, because it these statements were correct, the Secret Committee must have been ins. posed upon. lle had the highest respect for the Members of that Committee, but they might easily have been misled by false evidence, persons desirous of courting the favour of the House. The Doke of MONTROSE tose to Order. Ile cOoidered it highly disorderly to impute to the Mem bers of a Committee appointed by their Lordships any •motives, such as courting the favour of the House, which could iseuence them in the discharge of a public duty. Earl GROSVENOR said, if the Noble Doke had allowed him to finish his expression, it would 'have been found that lie had no intention whatever of im puting motives to the Members of the Committer. All he meant to say was, that persons, with a view of courting the favour of that House, of courting the favour of Minuters (for what was intended but to give Ministers mdditional power) might state to time Committee what was not the fact, and that thus the Committee might have been misled. This was his view of the subject, and it was most important that such a consideration should be adbpted by the Hose. Was it to be endured, that upon statements ma4e by any Cdhimittee to that House, and which statements were offered to be proved at the Bar to be untrue, that the liberties of the people of England were to be placed at the disposal of Mr. Canning, Mr. Bragg. Bathurst, Lord Castlereagh, and then colleagues (Cries nj Order.) The Duke eft ATHOL spoke to order. He felt it . inaumbention him -to aver, that no man en his side of the House was capable of such motives as seemed to be inferred. • Any language that tended to impute improper motives, was unparliamentary, and should not beheld. The LORD' CHANCELLOR expressed a simi. lITSH respectfully reminds the Public, that the whole of the Lonny, (icing the lead that was ever Earria), will be all drawn on SA*l CiikDA 1 t X r.

He felt it his duty not to sit silent on the Woolsack while any Noble Lord stated that a sacrifice was about to be made of the liberties of the . people to such men as Mr. Canning, Mr. Bragg. Bathurst, and the other - personages alluded to. Earl GROSVENOR contended that the measure about to be proposed; would be in effect to place the liberties of the country for the hands of the Noble Lords opposite and the rest of his Majcsty'sMinisters. He, therefore, did not conceive what had alien from him as unparliarnmiary or out of order. Lord ROLI.E appealed to the blouse, whether it was just or fair to make allusions to persons not Members of that House ? Earl GREY argued that nothing which he had heard•from his Noble Friend could be tauty constru ed as a breach of order.

Earl GROSVENOR said, that previous to their Lordships proceeding to the order of the day, wha, they were about to enter upon the discussion of a pi position, which, without due . evidence 01 its necessity, went to strike immediately at the liberties of the people, by a suspeasiun of the Habeas COIPUS Act ; ' before the House should proceed to tliat disco Sion, he begged leave to call their attention to a Petition which had been put into his hands, of a nature which lie thought well worthy of their Lordships' conside ration. He had before alluded to the novelty of presenting a Report upon which momentous pro ceedings were to be founded, without that Report being accompanied by any evidence to support its statements. He was then answered by the Noble ' President of the Council, that it was the customary moth of. making Reports of that description ? He found, however, upon reference, that so far from this being the case, in the year 1794, when a .Report resessetlng a conspiracy against the Government was made •by a Secret Committee, it was accompa nied by a statement of evidence, and upon that evi. dence he (Earl Grosvenor) agreed at that period in the necessity for strrng mear,res. It wa s of the tit. most importance that a Report of so set haus a mottle should' be accompanied by some evidence to chew the foundation for the allegations. Since he came into the House he had heard that the Habeas Corpus Act was to be suspended. If so serious a measure was really to be resorted to, surely it was incumbent upon 'their Lordships to take special care that it was no( resorted to lightly, nor on insufficient ground ; still more was it incumbent upon them to take care that the statements made to them in the Report of their Secret Committee were well founded. He knew not whether the allegations, contained in the Paition were correctly stated or not, but the Petitioner offered to prove them by evidence at the Bar of the House, ar.l he thought their Lordships we,re'called upon by every principle of justice to allow him to resort to that course of proceeding. His Lordship then read the Petition as follows : " To the Right Honourable the Lords Spiritual and Temporal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament assembled. " The Petition of Tatiaaas CLEARY, Secretary to the Lon chin Union Society, " Humbly Sbeweth—That It is with great reluctance, as well as humility, that your Petitioner offers himself to the notice of, I and prays for a hearing from your Right Honourable House; but that your Petitioner, though a very Mumble individual, feel himself impelled by a sense of imperious duty, to beseech your Right Honourable House to pause, and to hear further evidence, before your Right Honourable House proceed to adopt legisla tive measures upon the Report, now on , the Table of your Risk Honourable House, from your late Secret Committee. " Your Petitioner begs permission humbly to state to your Right Honourable Nouse, •that he has read in the aiore-men , tioned Report of the Stcret Committee of your Lordships, the following passage; to wit : " 6 Others of these Societies are called Odom Clubs, professing the same object of Parliamentary Reform,but under these words voiterstancnre Universal Suffrage and Annual Parliamen.s—pro ,Lacts which evidently Involve not any qualified or partial &mgt., at a total subversion of the British Constitution. It appears that there is a Lsetion Meow Society, and iraßsh Unions corm. toxin seiskit, and &plated to it. Others of arse Societies have adopted the name 01 Spencean Philvithropists ; and it was by Members of atiub of this dt ocription that the plans of the Con spirators In London were discussed a n d prepared for execution: " Your Petitioner presumes not to oppose bit opinions against those of a Committee of four Right Honourable House; but he Hopes that ha may be humbly permitted to state, that when a Bill was brought before your Right Hononrable House by the late Dube Of Richmond, laying it down as a matter of principle, that Annual Parliaments and Universal Suffrage werithe Whet rent and unalienable rights of Englishmen, the Noble Doke was not accuted.of a desire to produce a total subversion of the Bri tish Constitteion. " It is not, however, on matters of opinion, but on matters of most important fact, that your Petitioner humbly appeal, to the candour, the wisdom, and the justice of your Right Honeurabb House, and on matters of fact, too, with regard to which your Petitioner is able to submit to your Right Honourable House the `dearest and most indubitable testimony.
