Nvx.'r. Lord MILTON proposed a Haw', to esetnpt thus'. f...1).i1e allow; from the operation of this Bill who might be marries tto natu ral bons subjects. ( sr.) Lord C O2LEtttsSOH imil no wish to present foreigti Ladies from residing amongst us. The Government hail on particular hostility to the Ladies of other countries, (a laugh); but he Coold not altogether approve of the clause. Lord FoLartrine said, these remarks formed an exemplifi eation oldie mimic of the Noble Lord's condom. He resisted every thing that tended to afford relief to those who might be unmerited victims of this most impolitic ntemnre. The Noble Lord must have the whole of the Bill; pooer must be mill riiited, ton ontt ()Med. Almses guider the former Acts, which Showed the necessity of protecting Manses, had been pointed out over and over •agaitt ; persons had been sent out of the country by misiake ; papers had been seized, for which then. si as no power in the Act; all had been developed ; none of these glaringly nnjmt instances had been attempted to be jus tified ; unit yet nothing was to be enacted to prevent, if possible, the recurrence of such monstrous injustice. The policy of the Rill wits bad. This county had heeu looked upon as lite cham pion of Protestantism, the defender of the persecuted and op pressed, the protector of the tights and liberties of all Europe. But the times were changed.—The Inquisition was reesta blished ; the Pope was restored ; and the Bourbons forced npou France, the unvarying and inveterate enemies of every thing in the shape of liberty. This Bill was legislating for France, whiclae disapproved ; and he should still oppose the whole measure as impolitic, unjust, and uncalled tor by the State of the country. Sir S. limint.Ll also supported t h e clause, as called fur by the abuses of former Alien Acts. • The House divided on the clause—For it MI; against it Vt.— Majority against it 60. Mondry other clauses were proposed ; one by Mr. Ponsonby, that a return of all aliens sent wit of the country be laid before the House ten days atter its assembling; another by Mr. Homer, that the Pill he for one year instead of two; but they were opposed by Lord Castlereagh, and severally nega tived. The Bill- wa...‘ ultimately passed, after an extended conver sation. The other orders of the day, Mr. J. P. Grant's proposition respecting Finance, and Mr. Itroutthant's proposition to remove the Lassa prohibiting the Growth of TobJeco in this eoantry, beisi disposed of, the Winne adjourned to Thursday next. PROVINCIALS. • MONTHLY AGRICt LTURAL REPORT. The spring-sowing has been completed in the most perfect Manner ; hot the weather, which has been se propitious to cul ture, has been, in an almost equal degree, untavourable to se getation. Nevertheless, the spring corn, as tar as it has ap peared, proves a most healthy and , igorous plant ; such is re markably, and mast fortumitely, the case with the wheats, which are strong. lustmant. and erect ; and the present, should the slimmer prose warm. will , in all probability, be a great wheat year. From the estreme lateness of the spring, awl want of sun, well grounded apprehensions are entertained for the fruit crop. and that we may again lie under the necessity of being good importing customers to our continental neiehbonrs. All vegetation ',eat present so backward, that nothiu.g remains to be said on hops, or other spring crops. Preparations are Waking (or the turnip enitnie. Noefells. Oxford-hire, and several other emintieS, spriug 'Wheat has le late come mach into use as a Lent crop. A re porter has experieneeml some danmee to this species from steeping the seed, and is aware of the former mistake, that spring wheat is not liable to smut; at the same time, apparently anapprized of the fact, that the smut of wheat possesses not the slightest power of infection. Another reporter, of too for tunate experience, decrier the needless trouble of pulling and stacking loran's, whilst both in the north and south far,greater numbera of sheep and lambs than was apprehended have pe rished 'from famine and the sem ity of the 'weather. One farmer alone, near Ntorpeth, is reported, it is to be hoped env neonsly, to have lost seven thousand sheep. • s The markets, in their sadden vicissitudes, seem to have elose:v followed the course of the weather. The late sudden rise on mutton might be occasioned by report of the above heavy losses. Long wool is lower in price, and less quick in sale. Corn seems inclined to' fall with a rapidity eqnal to its late rise. The farmer's stocks are not coon& rattle, the de mand for money having been so urgent; but the national stock is ample, even eschtsise of foreign wheat in wits elinuise p which proves to be far below coma' calculation in quantity. Whilst the markets were so overladen with wheat for soine months past, and time distress for cash so universal, the speculators ren dered an immense service to the country. Time laboure rs in husbandry are still iu a most deplotahle state of distress, in many, or most, parts ; and, unavoidably in the pee-scut exigence, ace supported in a manner highly derogatory ro free born men. Their conclact in Norfolk and Suffolk ix a foul disgrace upon our national, and too nearly approaching a Tipperary, charac ter ; anal it becomes a vital question, to what errors, political or practical, we are to attribute the deeply-seated sentiments of vindictive discontent in the minds of ear peasantry. ALARMING RIOTS. CAMBRIIIGr. MAY 17. —On Wednesday last a most despe rate body of insurgent fen men assembled at Littleport, in the isle of Ely, m here they nttaokrd on the some eight the house of the Rev. Mr. %ached, a Magistrate, who for tome time stood at his door armed with a pistol, threatening to shoot any ouc is ho should MIMI), 10 enter; v:hen three men rushed upon, and disarmed him. lie immediately ran on stairs to relieve his vs ire and two doughty's, who, with ve y s :ght co vering, made their escape with him, running to ri all the way to Ely. while they arrived safe after mielm_ot. The notes!' then broke ail the windows, and nearly demolished every thing iu the house, burning all lir. Vachel's valuable papers Hotta ritings, and stamping his plate under their fret; after which they extorted considerable 1 , 111115 of money from the inhabitants, and broke into two shops, helping themselves, without ally one daring to oppose them. The publicans eel ars were their next object, m here, after noting, thank what th ey lik e d, th e y ea t a waggon and a team of horses, and pro ceeded for I ly, taking with them every gun and other deadly perch a th , y could find, On their arrival at that city, they were jeoned by some of its refractory inhabitants before eight o'clock nn Thursday morning; when they demanded rontri• bottoms front the houses and shops of lite brewers, bakers, butchers, grocers, and millers ; whir+ as re nnavoidably seined to, and a dim adful sveae of riotous renduet ensue d.

The mischief was chiefly committed by the Littleport rioters, who, after separating themselves trout those of Ely, extorted money from several persons of that city, which they spent .in drink, and departed homeward, to complete their lawless depredations, has ing first released two of their eon fetteratt:%, who had been imprisoned by the Ely Magistrates. Happily there was nu thriller disturbanee in that place, aftc: the departure of the Littleport banditti. Accounts received us Saint day from Manchester state, that some thousands of the loss et orders of the people were assem. Wag about tw e nty mile s di s t an t from Moneliester. The intel ligence was received in that town by express front a magistrate residing is the vicinity of the tumultuous assemblage. Adriees of these new movements were immediately fdrwarded to Go vernment. On Saturday a considerable hody of cavalry', with several pieces of artillery, passed through Tottenham, on the it way to assist in quelling the disturbances. The -Itit of Julie, his Majesty's birthday, is a day of gre..t note in 3lanchester and its vicinity, in consegneiree of some horse-racing in that quarter about that period. which collects immense numbers from the neighbouring country ; and in the most peacea:lie times gu eat disorders arc committed by the lower classes elate Lancastrians. As a great proportion of the workmen are at present oat of employ, and those who have employment are in differently paid, considerable alarm is excited at Manchester, notwithstaudiug the preparations that arc making to check the turbulent. An Ipswich Paper states, that the riots in that neiehbour hood have been less frequent during the hist week than for some previous weeks. On Wednesday, however (eontiuwes that paper), J. Mayes the younger . , of Stoke, near Clare, Suffolk, was charged with haviug threatened to set lire to a barn belonging to Gen, Elwes, and, having given surety for the peace ; as the law requires, was disehai gr.% In• rouse queue. of the arrest of this offender, some of the misguided populace assembled, and proceeded to break up a thrashing machine in the atiehoourlamd; but . the General having, with a very laudable promptitude, procured the attendance of some military force, at the very crisis of the riot, the ring-leaders were seised awl committed for trial. On Monday week a great number of persona of the labouring class n.4(.31114(41 at southery, in Niorfalk, and inamediatel proceeded fiir Down. ham, between which places (about seven miles distance) they forced the labourers from their houses and work to join them. They commenced their scene of action by entering the shops of the millers and bakers, and taking away dour, bread, ts.e. At Mr. W. Baldwin's mill ;t great many sacks of wheat-meal were thrown into the yard, awl spoiled. They then proceed( d to the publicans, and &mantled ale, which was brought in pails into the street. They next went to the Crown Inn, alld drove the Magistrates (oho were holding weekly Sittings) born the roams into the street. Afterwards 0.1. proceeded to the butchers, whose shops they cleared. The Upwell temp of Cavalry at length appeared, when the Magistrates read the 'Riot Act ; several gentlemen narrowly escaped with life, from brick-bats, stones, clubs, aLc. With the aid of special consta bles, however, ten men .vol four 'venter] were taken and put into confinement, nud the lest gradually dispersed; fortunately no• lives were lost. The following morning the Magistrates directed the inhabitants to arm themselves, and, in it Short time, the town wore a formidable appearance; the inhabitants, with the cavalry, proceeded to meet the rioters; when an amicable agreement was made, which induced the latter to return peaceably to their homes.

At a town between Bourn and Deeping, a few days ago, a person was arrested by a sheriffs officer, and hold thr e e days in custody ut a public-huose ; at the expiration of that time the ale-score, for the debtor and the bailiff's follower, was for one huudred anti ninety •sixgoners!! ! There appeared lately in the Chester Courant a paragraph, Rioting that 31 men employed in Lord Grosvenor's mine at near Flintshire, had been turned out of work, because they were dissenters from the Church of Englaud. About isfort. night ago they addressed a most respectful petition to the Noble Lord; in which they stated the =saw of their reaper. rive families, and the length of their servitude, mane Lai ing beea 15 and 20 years in his Lordship's service. This petition, it would appear, had not been Lussvered so 1000 as was ex pected; and, in consequence, on Saturday sennight, "The Friends of Religious Liberty" held a public meeting in the Welch Chapel, in Chester," fur the purpose of devising a plan for the relief of the distressed miners at Halkin." A list of resolutions was submitted fur the consideration of the meeting; when a gentleman rose and stated, that he was atithenised to say, that information was daily expected from Lord Gros% emir on the subject, and he hoped the men would shortly be rein. stated ; and on this ground he should move an adjonrument until Wednesday, which was unanimously agreed to. Pre s ions, h o wever, to the adjournment, tl grant of 101. was ordei ed for the immediate relict' of the distressed families. We have pleasure in ifanta, that Omagh the dismissal did actually take place, it originated entirely in a mistake of his Lordship's geo. Ibis Lordship had simply desired, that Isis workmen should be encouraged to go to Church (instead of wasting their time And spending their earnings idly on Sunilass ; his aim Wionbi have been equally pined by pressing those of his workmen, who were dissenters, to attend li, their own place of worship; bur, the Agent taking the rem) iiiiii ndation in its literal and illiberal sense, dismissed the latter. We under stand that orders have since been given by his lordship, that no person shall be dismissed.or excluded from t mployment, on account of his religious °Malian.

Extract of a letter from Paris, dated May 4 5.-- " You must know, that both the affair of Crenoble mmtl that of Nistnes, are now repro►ented as not being the result of a cora:piracy, but RR having origimtted in ac cident. The first of these is attributed to the arrest of a highly-respected individual in the neighbourhood ,ef Grenoble, whom the Prefect had ordered to be secretly arrested by the Mayor; the latter having refwed,, the Prefect desired him to invite the int:iv iduals in question to the Prefecture, fin- the purpose of mere esplanade , . promising he should not be• arrested. This promise wa', however, hro en, and the peasants of the neighhourhooki, informed of the circumstance, presented theiusely es, va riously armed, to the amount of I'4 or 1500, before Gre• noble, for the purpose of demanding his release. They were fired upon, and halve arose the recent disturbance in that quarter. The massacre at Nisnies tegan at the celebration of a Protestant's wedding. The parties were grossly insulted by some Catholics: laws ensued. The bridegroom fell in the affiay, and. in the result, upwards of ICO persons, men, wt men, and children; ware istasstwred. They also set Ere to his house.
