That the Public may judge, and Aliens may know how far the Alien Bill has been violated in the case• of General Gourgaud, we subjoin an extract from that Bill, which contains all the provisions relative to the right of 'moving Aliens:— Be it enacted, that when and so often as any Alien who may be within the realm, or who may arrive therein. shall Necker to *Fart when ordered by Proclamation, or by Order in Council, it shall be lawful for any of his Majesty's Principal SeCreurriei of State, or for any Justice of the Peace , or for tiny Mayor or Chief M'agistrate of any City or Place, to cause every such Alien to be arrested. and to be committA to the eimmon Gaol of the County or Place where he or she shall be so arrested, there to remain, without bail or mainprize, until he or she shall be taken in charge for the purpose of being sent out of the realm. That it shall be lawful for any of his Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State, &c. in any case in which he or they shall apprehend, that any Alien will not pay immediate nbdi. • ce to any such Proclamation or Order as aforesaid, or in any ease where any Alien shall have been arrested or committed for re fusal or neglect to obey any such Order, or shall have been con. victed o• such refusal or neglect. &c. to give such Alien in charge to one of his Majesty's Messengers, or to any other per son or persons to whom he shall think proper to direct such war rant, in order to his or her being con Meted out of the kingdom, and such Alien shall be se conveyed accordingly ; provided 41- ways, that when such Alien, not huving been eomoicted as afore said, shalt allege any (watt for not complying with such procla mation or Order, oe any reason why etch proclamation or order should not be enforced. or why farther time should be allowed ?sins for corny:ming therewith, it shall be lawful for the Lords of his Majesty's Privy Council in Great Britain and Ireland tojudge of the sufficiency of such excuse or reaaon.and to allow or disallow the swine, either absolutely, or on such conditions as they shall think fit; and when such Alien shall be in custody under such warrant of any of his Majesty's Secretaries of State as afore said, the messcni;er or other person in whose custody he shall be, forthwith, upon us being signified to him that such excuse or rea sal is alleged by such Alien, shall make known the e •me to the a ad Secretary of State, who, upon receiving such not s Alum or in any case in which he shall be informed that any such excuse or reason is alleged by. or on behalf of any Alien, under Proclama tion or Order to quit the realm, shall forthwith stipend the ex- , ecution of such Proclamation or Order, until the matter can be determined by the Lords of his Majesty's Privy Council; and such Alien, if in custody under any such warrant. shall remain in such custody until the said Lords shall have signified their de termination thereon, unless in the mean e the said Secretary shall consent to. or the said Lords shall make Order fur the re lease of such Alien, either with or without security. Thus it appears that an Alien, on alleging. any asevse or reason, even to the ()sheer executing the warrant, for non-compliance with the Order, has a r:,;ht to have such excuse or reason taken into consi t!..i...ion by the Privy Council, without making a artpul to them.

Brutality of treatment is an net of the Officers employed, but it canaut be wondered at when eight men are sent to arrest as a felon an Alien who ha offended no law. ASSASSINATION OF M. DE KOTZEBUE. We reeeivedoi.y, says the Go relle de Francs, very ettrions detail* relative to the a.sas•ltitoine of M. tie Kotzebue.

MEETING OF THE NEW RENTERS OF DRURY- LANE 1 HE-ATRE7 On Saturday a meeting of the new renters of thisTheatr• was convened, for the purpose of hearing a proposition 4.! one of the Sub-committee. relative to the liquidation of the claims of tradesnoen and others. At two o'clock Mr. Fallow field took the chair, and shortly stated the olojeet of the meeting. Mr. Ward, the Secretary, then read the report of the trustees of the slew settlers. Is slated that they had. con formably to the resolution of the last meeting. prepared toe draught of a deed for the purpose of granting to she new renters their reni.charge; that they had painted into a negotiation with the Sub•committee on the subject ; and though all difficulties were not yet surmounted, yet the husissess was in a state of terwat deem. The repots added. that one of the Sub-Committee had offered to advance a of money fur the purpose of paying tradesmen a eel.. tails posimbige, on contliti tttt that he reeeivrd security. The security this gentleman demanded was, the private hoses, the supplying of fruit, !etc. and the houses and 01:tee buildings belonging to the theatre, until the interest and principal of his debt was paid, and that he was to have this interest paid previously to the payment of the annuities of the renters ; this security to revert to the renters when the money so advanced, with the legal in terest, was paid. In the mean time the produce of it to go into . and form part of, the Company's purse.

The debts due fount the theatre to tradesmcn, and others, sinom o t e d to seb..sit 24,0001,. For the settlement ',fittest. ale in sods, negotiations were before entered into, but they did mot succeed. Ass Mobs ionsart of the Sub-Committee, who had the mire CPI of the concern very snitch at heart, made an off..r of advancing a sum of about 12,0001., to liquidate the demands of creditors, upon seat terms as he (Mr. Ho sier) haul no doubt they would find it to their interest to accept miller eae.ting circumstances. The reenrity he re quited for this advance was the same as that now posses.ed ..y the s re.hturs ; stausely,tlie iticione o f the private boxes, the tridisuffices, and the rents of houses belonging to the theatre. This, if carried Motu effect, would relieve the concern very much. If the theatre prospered. the geu'le* snail who made this of f er would, of course, receive back site snit advanced, and the new renters be pot in posses. -iou of their former security upon snore advantageous eir etionstances.

To this they anmemed. • That cannot be, there is nothing but ice there.'

This they seemed still to dipeedtt, answering, • No, they ere alive. we have seen them mare their wings.

They occasionally retreated, then advanced again, with cautious steps, in the attitude of listening, generally keeping one hand down by their knees, in readiness to pull out a knife which they had in their boots; in the other hand they held their whips with the lash coiled up ; their sledges remained at a little distance. the inurth man being apparently stationed to keep them in readiness for eseve Sometimes they drew back the co vering they had on their heads, as if wishing to catch the moat distant sounds; at which time I could discern their features, dis playing extreme terror and amazement. while every limb ap peered to tremble as they moved.

They appeared still much alarmed, and requested that Sacheuse only should come over; he accordingly passed to the opposite side. on which they earnestly besought lam not to touch them. u if be did, they should certainly die.
