As soon as the Bills , o i t ed,tliey met, endeavoured to propagate their old . . c . 7 ii et, c-kboited their liberation as a triumph, 'tank the he rich el Bonaparte, and returned to their , curte r r eeth.oLls of creating disaftecti , m and sedition. 1.e.• of then-, had Proceeded to such et iminal excesses ~,t : , saerifice nis life to the laws. Inthilgence pro ,..ced (ally eta, and increases Audacity. One of the c . r , i Its, tiow au popular and so stangel out . , held by t.:SFenCeans, was then endravouved to Ire propa yl eaf i ard• was coneected with the Reformers. The I:ctve formerly had both passed the ..Cusrension Act 0 t itepurt of their Committee, and, when the Act w ired, had justified all that was done under it, by rrlntolg a Bill of indemnity. ?Jr. LOCKHART did not with to follow the honorable Gehileman*(Mr. Ctoweii) into the de talie of his speech; but he declares: that t h e atrocious p .• ee.s disclosed. in the Report of the Secret Com e ) 1. millet induced him most cordially to give his sop. rm t :o the Suspension Bill now before the house, r!idi was the only rums of preventing the re:iliza vei of these projects. The Report stated, that en dc.tvours were made to undermine all the principles et m'srality and religion. Now if the Suspension Bill would work a temporary change in the Constitution, may this was trifling ;impaled with the change Olt would be effmted in the condition of society, by erasing from the minis of the people all 'sentiments of honesty and feelings of piety. If immorality and atheism should gain a footing here, they would not stop, but would extend to the other hemisphere, and overturn all one Indian and foreign establishments. Attempts were made by artful min to drive the people to desveration, by taking adiaittige of their sufferings, and to inspire them with an aversion to those who were disposed to alleviate their sufferings—(Hear.) The prayer is lead us not into temptation," which sbould always be repeated, was forgotten or despised. Led the bwer classes were taught to look up to the pluni:er, and not the charity, of the rich, as the means of relief. The intention of the public agita tors was to destroy all law, and to produce general spoliation.. We bad great examples before us : the corruption of the Court of France led to the expul sion and the misfortunes of its dynasty—the anarchy and•ruin of the people were produced by the demo r4izing doctrines .which gained the ascendancy in their revolution. If the House was to neglect the warning of this example, :he page of history might be read in vain. The Honourable and Learned Gen tlenien supported die Bill, and hoped he should gain that credit fur sincerity and good ietentioa which was claimed by those who opposed it. Mr. MA R itYAT was of opinion, that if the dan gers set forth by the Honourable and Learned Gen tle:nan (M•. Lockhart) really existed, the suspension el the Habeas Corpus Act was not the means of at testing their progress. if he ( Mr. Marryat) could see the d Inger in the same light and magnitude as the Honourable. Gentleman, and conceived that the Execntive could only overcome or destroy it by an increase of power over the liberty of the subject, lie would not hesitate cue moment to grant the Minis ters what they claimed, and to support the present measure. The danger, however, he thought was much overrated, and the ieniedy more alarming than the dani,er itself. Comparing the dangers of the coun try to a storm, and the State to a vessel tossed in it, the Hon. Gent. gave it as his opinion that we might ride onethe tempest without throwing out our sheet anchor. Tue people were more alarmed by the interference of Parliament titan before. This measure would afford Med for discontent, and thus aid the cause it was in tended to extinguish. Government and Parliament bad already sunk in the opinion' of the people, and the passing of such an unnecessary and arbitrary Act would increase their distrust, and alienate farther their affections. The time daring which this Act was in tended to be in force, instead of rendering it less ex ceptionable, was, in his mind, a sufficient objection against its adoption. While Parliament was sitting, it might legislate on any cases .ot emergency. Had we been near the period of a prorogation, it might have been necessary to have armed Ministers with in creased powers during the succeeding recess. The SPEAKER then left the Chair, and the House went into a Committee. The Bill wai committed and reported. Ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of. I lee seditious Meeting Prevention Bill was ordered to be read a second time on Monday.—Adjouroed.

Mail has brought the followinp, Address by the General Assembly of the States of Hanover to the PRINCE REGENT, on the criminAl at• tack made on his ROYAL HIGHNESS on the 28th cal January. On the 9th instant thanks were given in all the churches of Hanover on his happy escape, and after Divine Service there was a toyal salute from the ramparts " MOST ILLUSTRIOUS PIIINCi Pala NT-..-3440;1* GRACIOUS PRINCE AND SJVEItCIIOI, " The intelligence of the wicket a.tatk made trpon your Royal Highness's sacred j.ei son, an your return from Pat &linen% on the 28th of last which has been received by the As sembly of the faithful States of the Kingdom, on the opening of their Sittings this day, has filled them with affright and horror. Their indignation of this wicked act, is the greater in proportion I to the justice of your Royal flighnes.'s claims to the love and I the veneration of all the nations subject to your sceptre, with whose welfare you were occupied at the very moment when the deed was perpetrated. We beseech your Royal Highness to accept, with your usual benevolence front us, the representation of your loyal German people, the expression of the profound sorrow with which each of your faithful subjects is penetrated on this occasion, and to be graciously convinced that there is not one of us v.iho would not be ready at all times to sacrifice his life for the welfare of your Royal Highness, our beloved Regent, and of your august Royal House. " With profound emotion we praise the PROVIDENCE of HEAVRN, which in this critical moment visibly protected the life of your Royal High:teas, and address our ardent prayers to the Throne of the ALIAIGNIr with the most devout wishes that he may be pleased farther to take under his gracious protection your Royal Highness, our most beloved Regent, to defend you against all the dangers that threaten your life or well •being, avid to pro. long to the latest period of human expectation your benefice'' , Government for the barpincss of your people. We recommend to your Royal Highness's fiatber favour and paternal regard, ourselves and all the faithful objects of your German Hereditary Dominion., being, with the most profound submission, &d." Several Petitions for Parl'amentary Reform, and some against the Bill for suspending the Habeas Ccrftus 'Act, were last night presented to the House of Com mons. Petitions against the Bill would be very nu merous were time allowed ; but it was read a second time, and this night will have its thin reading. There have been some more arrests at Glasgow and the vicinity. Tuesday morning last, an operative weaver and his son were taken into custody, when an attempt was made by a crowd of idle people to pre: vent their being taken to prison, and it was found necessary to support the Civil Officers by a small party of the 42d Regiment. Stones were thrown at them by the populace, and some shots were fired by the military. Some of the Officers received perso nal injury from the stones, and one boy was struck by a ball. By the details given of this iffair and of the pre vious arrests, in the Glasgow Paper of Tuesday, it appears that few know any thing about the persons arrested, except that they are charged with seditious practices. They ate all of the class there called Tradesmen ( Anglice Worimea), and, if we may judge by the voluntary surrender of one of them, they are, like the enthusiast Preston, persuaded that their object was lawful and laudable. The following account is copied from a Glasgow Paper : On Saturday night twenty.fiee yersons charged with trea sonable practices, were taken into custody here. The greater part of them were eels din a puldic-house in Old Wynd, about eleven o'clock. They were holding a Meeting at r time, but what the nature of it was, we have not been able to learn. _ " The Meeting was cosnposed entirely of tradesmen, with the exception of a writer's clerk. Several others, among whom wa s a teacher , in Calton; were seized in their own houses. " 1 he greater pan of the night was spent in the business; and . the Sheriff, with the Procurator Fiscal and subordinate Officers, carried the warrant into execution. Bailies Leckie and Madsen, Messrs. Reddie and Thomson, Town Clerks ; and Mr. Simon, Borough Procurator Fiscal, waited at the jail to receive the orlsoners. " Another man surrendered himself prisoner yesterday morn ing, and was lodged In jail. " The seizures were effected in the most prompt and peaceable manner. We understand that the families of the prisoners, many of whom are 19 indlEent circumstances, are to be supported by the Commi!!ce of the Ft:bile Subscriptions. " This morning, at six o'clock, a man and his son, , ht Anderston, charged with the same crime, were seized in their own house by a party of Peace Officers; but, as a crowd col. lected and menaced them, they were unable to leave the house until a small party of the 42J arrived to afford them protection. —The prisoners readily obeyed the commands of the Officers ; but the crowd, by tbroyging stones and bricks, obstructed their progress, and it was thought necessary to discharge several shots. Nn person, so far as we have heard, was injured by the balls but one boy. One of the Police Officers bad a severe contusion from a stone, and some of his associates were slightly hurt. — 'film of the most forward of the assailants were taken into cue. Cody and brought to town along with the patty, which arrive. about eleven o'clock.”--(Ctisow CAreiskle, nudes, Fe&. 20. : • Ke t 7.1 L IN7EI,iIGENCE. - • FAI.MOU I H, FEBRUARY CS.

Boston Papers to the :30:1) January arrived this forenoon. The only article they contain worthy of notice, is a letter from New Orleans of • the 19,h D..- cember, stating that, by the latest accounts from the Southern Patriots, they , were expected soon to be masters of Pensacola ; but they were not without fears for the effect ref I'mm:to's treason. Some Patriots who were to have joined MINA, were thereby put ia jeopardy, and MINA himself had found it necessary to alter his original plan. New York Papers have also reached England to the 30th ult. Their contents are rather more important .hart usual. Captain PRENTIA of the schorner Susan, who ar rived at New York from Port-an-Prince, which place he left on the Ist January, states, that hostilities be. tween Curitsrorrie and PETION were about to he re• newed ; that the former was on his march to fort-au-' Prince, and was within 30 miles of that place ; and that the latter had dispatched a force of 4,1)00 men to meet him. It was supposed, that a battle would be fought on the day on which the Susan sailed. A riot of a serious nature is represented as havii•g taken place at Princeton College, in which nearly the whole of the students participated.- The rioters were most violent in their proceedings, and the business of the College was suspended during 86 hours. On order being restored, the College resumed its functions with about 80 or 90 students : the•rest were expelled. • From a report of the acting Secretary of War it appears, that the amount of the American army, now in peace, is 10,024. On the 22d, the Compensation Bill was so amend ed, as to repeal, from the close of the present session, all existing laws on the subject, leaving the next Congress to fix their own. compensatioa. On the 23d the bill, thus amended, was read a third time, adopted by a vote of 138 to 27, and sent to the Se nate for its concurrence. In the Sta:e of New York, a report has been made by the joint Committee on Manufactures, shewing the great means which the country possesses bf supplying all its own wants, under proper encouragement from the Government. The report concludes, by recom mending the adoption of the following Act : " An Act for the Encouragement of Manufactures within this State (New York). Be it enacted and declared by the People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assembly, that from and after the passing of this Act, all the Buildings .sr.l Machinery of every Cotton or Woollen Manufactory erected within the State, or hereafter to be erected, shall be exempted from taxation within this State, and that all Manufacturers em ployed in any Cotton or Woollen Manufactory shall be, and hereby are, exempted from all Militia duty, and from working on t6e Public Highways, and from serving as Jurors in all suits to the value of 45 dollars or under, during the period of their being employed, except in cases of Insurrection, or when the Country shall be in danger of Invasion." The following, from The New Yori Mercantile Arl waiter, of the 25th ult. is important : a BY AUMORITY. - - " An Act, supplementary to an Act to regulate the Duties on Imports and rolinage. Be it enacted, by the Senate and I louse of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, that the tonnage duties to be paid by ships or vessels which shall be entered in the United States, excepting only such foreign Alps or vessels as shall be entered from any fort ign port or place to or with which vessels of the United States arc not ordinarily permitted to go and trade, shall be the same as are provided by the Act, entitled, An Act imposing Duties on the l'unuage of Ships or Vessels,' passed on the 20th day t.l July, 1790 ; provided always, that nothing in this Act COW/hied .h3ll be deemed hi any wise to impair any rights or ptivilt-ges which have been, or may be acquired by any foreign nation, under the I laws and ma ies of the United States, relative to the duty on tonnage of vessels.

The only two arti cles in which there appears to have been greater re trenchment this year than ir•. the last, are the at tides of gigs or two-wheeled carriages, and cf dugs; though even here the excess amounts only to two ia one case, and five in the other.
