He hoped he should not be pressed for the reasons which induced the Lord Lieutenant to call for the suspension of the Ha beas Corpus Act, especially when it came to be recol lected that it was the rebellion of the ignorant classed alone. He trusted lie had laid down grave grounds for applying for the and if it were agreed that they should tie granted, he thought they could not be agreed to too soot,. He concluded with moving for base to bring iu a bill to suppress insurrection, and to prevent disturbance of the public peace in Ireland. Si, J. NEW PORT said it was painful to him to be corn pelted to Miler from many of those who were highly respected by him, bit his practice in that House, and his experienre its Ireland, compelled hint to Snell es/Oise. In May, 1817, he moved an Address for an inquiry into the state of Ireland, with the view of remedying the evils in the future Stuoion. That was negatived. fine country was then in tranquillity ; but had it been agreed to, in quiry might have prevented the evils now deplored. Was lie then to blame if lie withheld his confidence from those who refused inquiry ? lie was convinced that a milder course %wild be more advisable than the measures of rash ;less which some scented so ardently to desire. Mr. C. GRANT was teady in acknowledge, that at the time he quitted Ireland he should not have been prioared to recommend such a sileastsre as that now proposed, but recently circumstances had occurred which operated to cheege his opittien, and he now considered this measure called for by the state of the country. He was the more ready to t the measure, which went to repose such a paver iii the hands of the govermuent, because lie knew that the sentiments of the noble Marquis, now at the head of the govet !tomtit, entertainuil liberal views on the subject of It i•li policy. Lord ER RIN uTos sans against vesting in the hands of men in the subordinate offices of government in Le land inch powers as the insult rection act gave. Mr. lIROUGH.t.itI agreed with the hot,. member (Mr. Grant) in all lie had said of the noble alarquis, now at the head of the Irish government. lie knew tic liberal principles of that illustrious nobleman; his talents lac government, and the extended view lie took of every subject, and mast readily would hue give that noidentan Lis confidiarce, lint because the nieasnre now proposed was not a measure of confidence, lie opposed it. It rather went to shackle the power of the government of Ireland, than to strengthen it, and lie was t oatinced mold produce evil iteitend of good. For by the bills sa hich the noble Lord had now ollered to the House, must enormous power wits vested in die hands of the ma - gistiney of petty districts, men actuated by patty feeling and local interests tallier than the general good of the country. The application was founded on partial state ments and partial ilistni bailees; und were they on such grounds to suspend Ilse laws and constitution of Leland. Lord LONDONDERRY replied.

As to the sentence, it would be re collected that the Judge (Bayley) who Iti d presided at the trial had been a natty to it. Mr. 0. 'BENNETT observed. that lie should like to know eh. were the Magistrates,' utlaes,and persons who had agreed to the orders which made Mr. Hunt to be treated like a felon, sod that too alter the Judge, in pass• fug sr:metier, had declared that the imprisonment was not to be " solitary." He looked at this case with suspicion. After the iniquitous sentence, lie would still call it such, the conduct was MOIliir01111; but the late treatment wa. most culpable, mid he could nut but look on it as the con sequence of having detected guilt, and exposed misrepre imitations. The sentence on Mr. lino aas one or iniquity and folly, and he would have brought the subject benne the House, had it been likely to obtain redrea, rather than to occasion increased severity. Mr. DICKENSON explained some of the treatment which Mr. Hunt had experienced As to the rules, Nlesais. Justices Burrough and ,1101royd had omitted to sago them i they were then presented to their successors, and Mr. Justice Best (hear, hear), and Baron Graham signed them. (Hear, hear.) He, ( Mr. I).) on pr. seining the rules, pointed out the objectionable one. Mr. H. having complained that Isis family was refused admittance ; and what was called his family was a Mrs. Vincent, and the Judge thought that that was a prism' who ought not to be admitted. Sir I. COFFIN said, when he had spoken of the prison, he did not know that thumb-screws wete used to it; and he did not tow regtet the punishment which had followed the gaoler. Mr. HO B HOU sE said, the treatment, like the sentence, was most ontragemss. As to specific complaint, lie was against it, because then the ministers would refer to the decision and the wisdom of the House. No—lie would have them constantly proclaim the grievances to the peo. ple, and that was the greatest, if not the only use of a House of Commons of England. The sentence was most would always call it such ; and he hail heard, Irma very good authority, that the Judge had nut expected a conviction. (Hear, hear.) The AT FORNEY GENERAL vindicated the conduct of the King's Bench, observing, that so far from not ex pecting conviction, the Judge had cap d the opinion of the Court that the offence was little short of high tree sou. Yet the Judge was to be arraigned—(No, no)—but to arraign the Court was to attack the Judge. The case was benne the King's Bench, and that Court would doubt lea administer justice. The petition was then read. Mr. Alderman WOOD, in moving that it be printed, said lie should move that redress be afforded; but then he tie told that was contrary to all precedent, It had been said iii some papers that a complaint had been lodged against Mr. Hunt. He had seen Mr. Hardy, the jailer, un Samaria! , last, and lie declared that lie had no com plaint to make against Mr. Hunt.—(Hear, hear.) The conduct of refusing Mrs. Vincent in particular was most extraordinary. Why was she to be refused? He thought there were many gentlemen who would not like to be de prived of their Mrs. V.'s.—(Hear.) Ordered to be printed. A new writ was ordered for Argyleshire, in the room of Lord F. Campbell, who had accepted the Chiltern Hutolreds. Sheriffs presented a petition from the Common Council of the City of London, complaining of fresh mi litary outrages, wheu Francis and Honey were buried, and uf an attempt to assassinate the Civil Authority of the City, Mr. Sheriff Waithman in particular.

The House resumed, and the report was brought up and received. Several new clauses were added, on the motion of Lord London derry. Mr. S. RICE then moved the insertion of certain words in one of the clauses, the object of which was to facil• tate the taking of bail. Upon this some conversation took place, and the gallery was cleared for a division.— The numbers were—for the ainendment 30, against it 139. majority against the amendment lot). Doris% our exclusion, the bill was teed a third time and passed. On our re-admission to the gallery the Speaker was putting the question for going into a committee on the Habeas Curtails Suspension Bill. This motion was op posed, and the gallery was again cleared ter a division.— The numbers were—for the. Speaker's leaving the chair 127, against it 36. majority for ministers 91. The House then went into a committee. The clauses were agreed to, and on the repot! Ining brought up, Mr. DEN MAN said every one must agree in the neces sity of putting down the insurrection which existed Ili Ireland ; but the question was as to the mode ut doing it, and he could not agree that the measure now proposed would have that effect. He thought the employment of a military force would still be unavoidable, even atter this breach of the constitution, and military forge would have been sufficient without them; and this additional outrage on the constitution might have been avoided. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL defended the bills. Mr. S. RICE proposed a clause for the appointment of a local magistracy, which was opposed by Lord London derry. A division took place, and the tininhias were—for the clause 31, against it 1 to, majority against the clause 79.
