Mr. MACDONALD rose and said. that his Majesty's Ministers having conceded the delay of a day or two. lal %Lich time the public opinion had hastened to express itself sonnet these measures ; mow called for , nersione Upon public liberty by . coereive esnetmeata ageism the meal tender of all those principles in which it trued—the public press. It was a subject, as delicate and daftness to-meddle with. as the right of petition. I Ile denied the totompettoey of the existing laws. There vu • return*, the table, which proved, that up to the moment when iiiise sew measures were contemplated, it was not Attempted to carry them into execution. As tbe , Dill at ?relent before the House was essentially coo tinted with that on seditious and blasphemous libels, for though noatina!ty disjoined, both bad the same object, be would ipeek a them together. The same objections could not be urged against those, which had bon made in regard to some other messares of Administrationi— onowiy, that they were unintelligible and impracticable. It appeared to him that they were but too intelligible, and whatever difficulties might lie in the way of their enmities. certain he was, that they would in practice go go far %Byroad any thing of the kind which had ever yet been attempted. The laws which they were Intended to aspersed.. bad. is times of cieil discord and rebellion, been proved salicient to protect property and es-establish onder ; or, if other acts bad bees resorted to, they had regulated, without disturbing any principle. Such was that of the litith of the King, and that toe at an era really trenteedons ; but how was it to be accounted for, not is a time of profound peace—la a time when the it anis bad attained to an unexampled height of glory, the laws whisk hail carried it with safety and honour through the most perilous circumstances were found inefficient ; aid that en for the repression of blas phemy and sedition ? it seemed strange, that after the close of • twenty-five years war, the people of this canatry. who had borne the complicated hard shipsaf than awful struggle for existence a ith a perse vermin without preeedeut, and a patience of which his t.,:7 furnished no example, were now to be told that they were vent to enjoy the liberties fur which they bad made s.:.:11 vast sacrifices. It was strange, that a people who casid sot be disheartened by miscarriage and defeat, and who, sormotinting all dillkolties, had foothill Welliog. tso to bring that war y a glorions terrnisatioo, went c.s to be told that they were not worthy to retain lt. s rights which they had derived from their ancestors. It appeared that the intensity *flight which had broken in upon nem, bad produced effects which required that • ; onion of their freedom should be sacrificed to their security ; hot. good Ood I (said the Hon. Uentleman) where Is their security? If the Bills now proposed pass iota laws, it mast be at an end. The people ss Dull loathe victories which terminated in such its. The extra ordinary man. whom genitors sad power had been called r-' by the aggression of bad governments. might now be sail to triumph even in defeat; for one hundred vie-1 t9rits, sash as that of Waterloo. coo'.ii not cornrows's for the loss of one atom of liberty.—(Hear l)--In dm 1 gnat confiiet which was new past, the pres.:had animas ted, iospired, and encouraged the people; it kept slice l f-eir Pokes love ef a fret: existence, by denouncing the vices and exhibitTng the peaceful consequences of mill. tary trawl. lie then proceeded to animadvert upon tl.e principles and object of the Bills; of the first pro- vision he would not oar mach; that was the one which re- spiked a stamp to In affixed to all publications of a certain sose.it eras the cast important of all the provisions. but, he believed that it was the first instance where a stamp had been imposed with any view beyond that of mere revenue—of more consequence, were the provisions by which recognixames and safeties were required, and by libido • man on a second conviction fur libel, was sob joctrd to the penalty of banishment. These were. he contended, a gross violation of the liberty of the press; to precaution of the former kind had ever been acted in hot a, a penalty, for sureties were never required by the • Esiglish Law, but in eases a hen a man had transgressed.' or where, by wine overt act. t he had shown a desire to dl au; hut there were sureties on presumption, and their principle was tuonstruns. It was the privilege of au Englishman to peiblitib whatever he thought fit, subject to his own responsibility. lie was not surorised that the Noble Lord (Castlereagh) should feel no compunc tion in subjecting the literature of the c orutry to a sla very like this. Too meek of his life hail been already pawed is devising restraints for the public mind. He ( ar. Macdonald) had heard something of a censorships be did not thank the Ministers fur not imposing it. Bo dud net know how far tier people might have submillail to it, hut be ;souls' say. that of all species of censorship. the most contemptible and repast was the cao/11. chip of mosey.--(Hear!)—That did not pretepd to IN& sore the attainments ; to gauge the intellect of • writer. lie was sure the noble Lord must hare heard of the rss. poblie of li len.

He required no other onalification but what be received 'roux the Wrirt rays of Mid intelligenre which tiosi bad given him to dispel the obscurity of his birth, am! mark him for ilishoction. Bet if the Bill proposed were pressed, then there would he established a painful aristocratical qoalifieation—destruetive to the spirit of trworement--and this, too, at a time when , as bad Bs stated by the Hon. Member for Bran ner (Mr. Wil- Aterfnrce), the greatest eforts to dissiainate instruction ' Borough the community were encouraged. Thins, while Ile means were conferred upon the people, the object less removed. Our liner:tors bad soiiil reasons fur not intrqucing into the British system of laws a punishment whisk had been so offensively exercised in most of the otkgr countries of Europe.

Mr. DICKINSON argued in favour of the Bill. Ile• amended, that the penalty of hanishenment was not un kneena to the history of English law, and that the pro posed Delis were highly expedient for the repo* of putting down dangerous pnoeiples. lie said that Sir Matthew Hale had defined English law as a history of rrstraiots and liberations, aceurding to times and cir• culostances. -- Mr. Serjeant ONSLOW followed in favour lathe Bill: and contended that it did not go to the suppression of nth works as those of which al r. bl• Donald bad spokes, but nnly restricted printers and publishers, and authors of the most obscure kind, who were employed upon works of an improper and infamous character. Mr. IiIAtIDONALD explained. Mr. GRAHAM oppooal the Bill. Mr. MARRYATT thought the previsions of the Bill inconsistent with the nniform practice which had hoes pursued for several Tian. Ile expressed his detonates nue to vote against It. Mr. DENMAN opposed the Bill. ft introduced it I most dangerous innovation into the whole system of the law which regulated the press of England. If sash doctrines as Grose were to be established, the gegetat branch of the Howse might as well at ones abdicate Its functions, and leave the whole to be managed as his Msfro piety's Ministersnsight wish. He would confine his atter than exclusively to the Newspaper Stamp Daty Bill, wield was one of the most important of all the measures, as it ietrodueed a principle new to the law, a principle which in his view amounted to an igtpriatilmr. It indicted I punishment, and imposed shackles which no respectable bookseller imagined, when entering on his profession, he should ever have to encounter. After making a few further observations on the Bill, the Learned Gentleman called the attention of the Wage particularly to one Clause, which he thought omit material. He meant that clause which e mpowered a Justice of Peace to excrete souse of its provisions. The duties of Magis trates were already sufficiently arduous, but they now were to be called on to search for arms, to attend public meetings; army! themselves, and with as armed levy, they wore to search houses where they suspected libels to be concealed ; in abort, they were called upon to un dertake such various and important duties as no Gestic man would make himself responsible for without paid a salary. And then what was to bei.vine of all those eulogies which had been passed upon the un paid Magistracy of England?—(Near, hear, hear')— home imputation was thrown out upon the difference of the verdicts in the cases of Hoar and Carllie; but no man who bad any feeling, anal any regard for totlit mvpW s a y, that because Hone was acquitted by use J Joy. Car ' tile should hams been acquitted b y . aeother, nos Juries I hail dose ~80 to show that, in their ofierioo, blas phemy was as olleoco ageism' the Laws of haffillrfi. and that they we determined to pmt it down by their sir dicta. As to the Bill before the Busse, he . protterrl against the principle of securities. It we:equivalent to an imprimatur, fur it was as much as to call cm a man to say, and that too where the offence was sedett.sel. " If I do violate the law, here is my friend, who will trayl for me whatever fines I may incur. ' But if the object of Government were to let by these means a press sub servient to their views, it was one of the *West wishes that ever entered the human breast. They might. with their majorities, indeed, succeed in carrying their mea sures, but they might also one day be brought to feel that they had gone too far. Both the Acts went on with the same preamble—namely. that the prnmst laws were ininafficient. This he denied to be true—they were so& Admit fur all the purposes of justice, unless, indeed. it was thought justice to apply the dagger at once to the seek of ths.offenaler. la every point of view, he thought that all that had been already done, was all that ought to be dr minded. Ile implore-1 the House to stop where they were, and not to push themselves farther into a le parat:on train the mass of that people. whom it was the duty of the House to protect.—hear, hear !) Mr. Dicasaium explained. Mr. B.LNKS denied that enough was done, ucti' t' use Bills should be passed, fur restoring the tranqui'li! - , of the country. The measures already agreed to. he tbonght essential to the preservation of the Conslitutien. I;o1 the House had nowt° do with the most Imporoint of ad. 'Phu press had sow gone so far in its power of producing evil, that iraat necessary to prevent it from csereisiag that power; should inch circamstauces again occur, at those which they bad already to complain of. In hie view, the evil tole remedied was so great, that eves W a new principle of legislation were to be introduced,. he had no abjection I. establish a new precedent. Much las said about the Star Chamber. At the doe of the Revolution,* grievance with respect to the press existed. There was then a censorship upon the press of a most extraordinary. .nature ; act it was not complained of. The restraints, to which be alluded, went to prehibit the p• hu,stio., of any thing heretical, or which opposed the re:ig;on of the country, and also every thing which' la.inF scandal upon the establishments of Church or State. Ellis was certainly going much farther thaw the Bill now before the House. The Bill referred to all printed since 166-. Now there was nothing in the pre. mit Bin at all approaching this in severity. — (Ileac Hut whether the measures, of former Ome were good or bad, it was nut muds to the present quer Lion.

Gentleman might have gone back to other periods . of our h•story, and found still worse laws than those to o Lich be O.:tided. He would have found utilise roes examples of tyranny in the time of the Tudors; and by referring ttr the history of !ivory the Eighth, be would find that the King - ordered his over edicts to have the force of laws without the authority of Parliament. But none of those cases could he quoted as precedents to pitar such as were now hronght forward by Ministers.. It was impossible for him to hear doc trines Al fatal to the lierpiness of the poor, as those promulgated by the Ilnuourable Gentleman, without risiag to resist and express his abhorrence of then.. The great question now lwfore the House was, what was the extent of the evil they were providing against ? Ile did not deny that mans- blasphomous end seditious pub lications Lad been seal forth to the public ; but be must deilare that these publicatioas were not of great extent in their circalstion. Ile beets of one publication (ti.e Repvblican) of oliii.b 1500 numbers were circulated at one time in a certain number of towns; and hr could lissom the House, that the moment the people saw that the paper contained blasphemous waver, the circulation was immediately chei Led ; not sot. of those 1;i00 were any more allowed to he circulated in that district.— (Hear. bear!)—He should now come to the clause in the Bit! for lack; a stamp duty no certain publications. To this lie objected, because it would go to deprive the poor of moral, historical, and jpolle a great deal done great forme _ instruct:on, whirls was generally conveyed to them in p - .bli,atioits thl Pat it would not prevent the sale of the most ohjeetionahle publications ; it would nut Mop Cobbotra Ittsfatcr, whirii sold more when it had a amp than it 'lid ssithout one. The best principle of wee Uftnstitution consisted in the right of all men to spidlet puldisb what they t!iought ; but this test that Ito to he coahlished, formed a new era in the COD. 0, awl was hostile toed' How principles that had wMr n held dear in the country. BC WILMOT declared his op:niois thnt the cheerers existing in the ronntry were a sefficient warrant fur the l oat nres doer before the Howe; and RI to what the l m Hon. tient:mien said abaut education, he must say that the liter knowledge acquire? be the pone was a kind of ditastroas twiligh: which led them into error, instead of doing them a benefit.

Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN began by alluding to what had been said against these who countenanced Mr. Hone, and supported him after his acquittal. The abi lity and fortitude displayed by Mr. Hone during his &a', entitled him to the attention be afterwards received. The Worthy Alderman nest adverted to the Seditious Meetings MI. It wee nonsense to say a man should have the Hem of petitioning, if he could not exercise it—but saw the people won't' not be able to do so. He was Pee that the moo respertehle booksellers end publish , eel in the kingdom would be grievously ati , ctetl by this Rill, which was ti-e of the greatest viola:ions on the Constitnticn that *Tee took place. At a time when the enentry lahonred nodal. -uch distresses, and when Mini errs refused to enter into any inquiry into them, it would be impoesible fur inch !awe r thew to be endured, and he would oppose them in every cce.r. Br. PIIILLIMORF. contended, that all the messriers brought before Parliament, at this crisis, were absolute ly necessary fur the preservation of the rights of the people, the preservation of the liberty, the morality, and the rli ;ion of the country. In amarer to what had fallen from the Hon. Member for Shrewsbury, he main tained, that there was a studied circulation of blaeplie 11110EIS pamphlets at this time; and the fact came within the observation of every body. In pi4a of this he read an Arial letter, declaring that seditious and Marptic mous publications were industriously eirenlated ill vari ous parts of the country, among the servants of respret aisle and wealthy families. The lion. Member roiniu,l ed, by expressing it as his opinion, that the Bill was cal culated to securethe foundations upon wlikh the Institu tions of the country rested, and to uphold the people in the enjoyment of the blessings of our Constitution.— (Hear, liver!) Mr. R. WHARTON wished to hoe, an answer from the Noble Lord upinisite to this question : Suppose six persons engaged in partnership as hoolpellers, and by some unfortunate means the firm became liable to the punishment of transportation 1s awardbil by the Biil, lie wished to know In that case whether the whole outnlier of partners were to be transported, or the senior member °sly ?—(llear! and a tangly) . .• - No answer was given to this grimier).
