Mr. WHITBREAD said, he had no objection to state the nature of his intended motion • it. as foe, an Address of the House to the Prince Regent for a l communication of each part of the proceedings at' Vienna, as could be made known without iejery to the public service. —[Hear, hear! from LordCas• tlerengh.]—He still thought it extraordinary that the Noble Lord , on his return from an important mission, would not make any communication to the House until he was, as it were, arraigned before them. In bringing forward his modes he sinield not neglect to bring before the House those fticta by which imputation had been cast on the honour and good faith of the country, which the Noble Lord would refute if be could.—[lieer, hear I from Lord Castlereagh.].-11 the Noble Lord seoceeded in justifying himself, he (Mr. Whitbread) should be the first to acknowledge the error into which be bad been led by publications which bore the serablanceof authority.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, at the suggestion of Mr. Ponsonbv, postponed the further•consideration of the New Taps to Monday fortnight. MR. LOVELL. Mr. WHITBREAD said, he had in the month of November last presented a Petition to the Hesse on the part of Mr. Lovell, an unfortunate porn who had been laying in prison, fo r a l ong ti me af;er the termination of• his sentence, from his ineWlity discharge his '6ne, and give securities. Shast that time the fine had been remitted, but Mr. Lovell was suable to find 'the requisite securities. and again in , treated the mercy of the House, in a Petition whieb be (Mr. W.) had is Isis hand, in which it wa s stated, that onion mercy min ',tended to him in ' full, he plitnild be useable to regain his liberty. r. H. ADDINGTQN stated, that the fine had bosh aliVeady reedited; and the sum • requitiii from (ha two sureties rodicod to cue had vitiating .5001. 6 1. •• • 6 . 'AN , to 9.501. each, at the solicitation of a worthy Member (Mr. Alderman Atkins). Mr. WHITBREAD said, that the Petition se. knowledged the lenity of the Crown, but the Pe thinner was unable to find even'the sureties now re quired. He hoped bis Majesty's Government would extend full mercy to this unhappy man, who had suffered a severe seutence,aml a great aggravation of it. Mr. Alderman ATKINS joined in the humane in treaties of Mr. WbOtbreed, and stated the distressed circumstances of Mr. Lovell. Many persons, he ob. mired, would rather psy the sum required, than be come sureties for him. Mr. A. BROW Nex pressed himself satisfied with the conciliatory disposition of his Majesty's Government, and hoped the mercy of the Crown would be Wended to Mr. Lovell. Mr. B. BATHURST observed, that to change a ensure intended as one of precaution into a sentenoe of Punishment was to be deprecated; bathe thought the Stele required some security against future mis deaseaeoen, end that if determined not again to effend,a man could not be so friendless as net to find WO*. • Mr. WHITSREAII) stated, that he bad takes occasion to visit Mr. Lovell in Newpie, and that be sitosld not hamtpedeented this Petition, if he were not folly satisfied of the troth of the allegatiotis it coa *aimed. The Right Honourable Gentleman who spoke last appeared not to have recollected the statement of the weithyAkierman (Atkins), who had behaved so meriterieesly in this transaction, and ac imitling to whose observation, many individuals wield be reedy- to subscribe the sum required fbr Mr. Lovell's surety, who would yet be indisposed to pet their names forward as bail for that Gen. tisane. This motives of that indisposition were in, *deed obvious. As to the Right Hon. Gentleman's • n epee the Petitioner's character, which, Recording to that Right Hon. gentleman's opinion, Could not be respectable, because he found himself suable to procure bail; it ought to have occurred to the Right Hon. Gentleman, that the Petitioner was placed in very peculiar circumstances, in no degree affecting his general character, although naturally creating an obstacle to the attainment of bail,--that being in prison, be was under the necessity of com mitting his publication to otherbands ' by wheat be had been betrayed Into farther, mis fortune. The suffering of the Petitioner then was, in a great sea sure, attributable to the missonduct of *them; bet this very circumstance mist operate to Immo the difficulty of procuring bail,—for peruses etold ea tegtke reflect, that they would have to beams se cority, Rot only for the Petitioner himself, bet for those to whom be was liable to commit the tended . of his Paper.

This ' however, he Wield and trusted would not be the conduct of the W. platers ' but that fading for-the unfortunate @Modem of the Petitioner and semis, his inability to vocal. bail, they woul d so good a; to allow hint to be 11. berated upon his owe recognisance. Me. B. eA,THuRsT diselaiseed the intention RE' eq4eg sly thiog iektrisms to the private charaeter of the Petitioaer a of which he really knew nothing ; bat added, that he could not conceive how any individual or individuals could deem thentsetres liable to an im-. potation in mitts the sum required for the Peti. tioner's security, if the disposition existed to make each an advance as has been stated. Sir J. NEWPORT thought the continuance of the Petitioner in confinement furnished demonstrative proof of his incapacity to procure hail, and he was Monitore astonished at the doubt espreued epos that Ont. Mr. J. P. GRANT concurred in the opinion of the Right Honourable Baronet, for four months having elapsed since the fine imposed upon the Petitioner was' remitted, and his security was mi tigated, it was obvious that he would not have so leas remained in prison, if he were able to procure ball. Something had been said of the security necessary to be obtained for the public—but he could appeal to the common sense of the House, whether any pecu niary securities into which the friends of this onfor tunate Gentleman could enter would amount to so effectual a protection as the long additional imprison ment he had endured for want of such warbles.— As to the future conduct of Mr. Lovell himself, amid it be doubted that the sufferings he must have madsr. gone in an imprisonment of almost lire years; were amply sufficient to convince him of the roniessit_tot caution in the future conduct of his P a p er . Was it to be supposed that he had become enamoured at a prison, and ready to encounter the risk of repeated incarceration ? His punishment had already been sufficiently severe to afford a most Impressive Leeson also to other publishers,—and, indeed, that ruin of , his circumstances ; one of the effects of his imprison. anent, which incapacitates him from procuring tbstj required securities, places, in the strongest possiblel tight, the consequences of his offence. - Mr. WHITBREAD repeated his hope that Mi nisters would accede to the Petitioner's prayer ; and it was evident, from the extreme length of the Peti tioner's imprisonment, that the ends of justice could in no degree s afer by the grant of mercy on thi s occasion; fir this was indeed en extreme case, which could not be drawn into precedent, while the punishment suffered by the Petitioner was surely suf ficient to make a due impression upon his own mind and upon the mind of others also. The Petition was ordeietfto lie on the table. _ Lord LASCELLES presented a Petition from the Roman Catholics of the City of York, praying the repeat of the Penal Laws by which they art affected. —Ordered to lie on the table. • Tits Rippawt of the Glen Doty Bill wee brought op and tined lov i aad the Bill ordered to be react& third thiffo-41.r.ft:v.k . ;`_ _ • NEW TAX PM. • The War Doty Customs Bill wag reacto second lisar,'and committed pi for to = morrow.

Friday it has been proposed to the King to arm Ea Vendee, and thus secure by one blow 50,000 b rave and devoted soldiers. Louis XVIII., who compic. bends his own situation and that of France differealy from any of his advisers, repelled the scheme, as offensive to the body of the nation.-.-." This is, in its fitsence," said the King, " a contest for *lie liberty—you most not narrow it into the quarrel of the House of Bourbon. The faithful Vendeaus might pioteet my person, but the French people shill defend their own cause." Since the loyal aseastudions of the garrison at yesterday's review, attempts bare been mode to debauch the troops in their barracks • a man has been detected i n t h e act of dispelling tile Proclamations of Bonaparte to the French soldiery, and led away on the instant to to shot. There are now no doubts this plan of invading Frauce was a long time prepared, and elaborately combined with machinations in the interior, and with the organisation of Italy for revolt. The latter country is represented to be in lames; Mond pro. claimiug every where the indepepdence of the Italian people, with the treachery of the Allied Powers to him and to Genoa--end marching openly upon Rome and Florence. Genoa, we are assured, is in de cided insurrection—and Bonaparte resolved to establish Xmsolf amongst the nips—to receive his partisans—whom he expects to pour in to him from all emote& pf this Gauntry, and to make largo draughta upon the iniorgeot population of Italy, until he can swell hie smell hie band into a formidable army ; and improve the limited enterprises of a par. tizan, into the element, of 'grand invasion. There are persons in Paris who foretold his attempt upon France, from the, moment when he suspended his imildlogs at HUM; and who were confirmed in theii first pr as, by•the mission of the majority Of hie old French guards to different points of the soulbers coost—a ciroomestance already stated in all the reliette• Sew *tale assert that lie has cotes too own, and might to have let thee discontents of bb femme subjects ripen into tt MOM reviler and emits WOW* • but he seems to ban feared that the sittechment o his friends might weer oat, and the stelleitaliellt of these who were displaced by the Ailerben might be gradually weakened; and lill aalmek aaalma 1 146 . 1 . 1 4019.4 to Oiled the period of alt mbeethepossiosiwhich were likely to operate iwbiaiTourwosbi be "Atli thogr utmost force.

Envy Sam of these-is persoadedelati the policy ofthe liouse of Bourbom is ultimately, however cautionly, to oust them hem .their possessions, and to reinstate the ancient owners. They are, in a body, for Bona parte--es are the non.deseripts of various orders who bate the ecclesiastics, and fear the return of tithe— ' who fear the revival of ancient privileges and praro. gatives, and therefore hate the noblesse—or who, is the enjoyment of revolutionary ribbauds and titles, feel themselves eclipsed and ridiculed by those of former ages ;--and therefore would expel every ape. cies of eminence which did not beloog to the revolu tion. For Loots, are the Chiefs Mi the army— the corps of royalists—the civil erapleyfie-rtite National Gsmrds, whose general interests ki t Owe of tran qeillity and commerce—and the few West, enlight. teed, and virteoos lovers of coastftetional freedom, whose business is meditation more then action; whose sphere is the closet, or the mew, not the field • who can refute and vanquish the, doctrima of ar bitrary Government, or shame away the pans din of corruption • end therefore prefer the most sr. deems combat with ' Ministers whom they reprobate, seder a Monarch whom they respect, to the terror of lying mute and powerless soder the bayonets of a military despot. Such appears the actual dip tribalism of Smiling at the present crisis amongst the poi* of Frans, —and until snots shell move for'. wail to correct t he won of human reasoning, sod are the ground-works of the hopes and fears which offer themselves most frequently to my imagleatim.
