He vraiconvinced, licitere, if the prop* were now convalised it would be found that the lasjinity would be for the represeritative system .rtinatoing where it was; therefore their Lordships agreeing to the uppointinetit of- the Committee he had moved for, world enable them to know the grounds of whit tlin,wete,gestig to do. The. Earl. of CAlNAttvom said, he would not have risen If it had not been fur what had fallen from the Noble Earl as to the sudden change in his opi , ulna as to reform, and his haring td strenuously idenceted against any thing approximaiing towards it. As to himself, lie had never been a reformer or as advocate for it ; but when corruption came star ing them la . the face, he would always vote for'snose legislative measure to correct it. Ile e•ittlil not !tires with the vlattrasosst-_ tita.....llelje.x.orisent against reform, that theie were only 18 electore im plicated, for it appeared by the evidence given at their - Lurdships' bar, that there were 41, and sorely it was not because the Courts of Law did not ad minister punishment to all, that they should escape the penalty of their crime. Of those that were tried there were but three acquitted, and it was ',raved at their Lordships' bar that they had been bribed ; whether they were bribed in Devonshire or Corn wall it made no coosequenee to their Lordships fur the purpose of the Bill. Ile would ask, were they not at this moment capable of noting for Members of P4rliainent ? The Earl of LAUDERDALE—" Certainly not." The Earl of CARNA&VON said, he could inform the Noble Earl they were, as they had been indicted at common law, and trot under the Act of Gee. 11. for by that Act they must have been indicted two years after the crime had been committed, sold here they had tint been indicted until three years after wards ; therefore, without the interference of the LegOlat ore, they had the right to exercise the elec tive franclioe. fie was convinced if their Lord ships agreed to a Committee being appointed, it would lint tend to any good purpose. The LORD CHANCEILOR left the woolsack, and said, that what had passed at the last election ought not to hate any influence on the discussion ; he was led to believe that it was agreed it should not. / He for one certainly could not refuse Ins assent to the motion of the Noble Earl for a Committee, as •he thought there could not be too much ii He would admit, that after giving the subject ins Tallest consideration, he strongly objected to the aystens which the Bill was to form a precedent for. Prom the first time he sat in Parliament, he was of • opinion that any change in the representative sys. lea would be dangerous, for he could not see the justice in taking away the rights of innocent men. This Bill went further than any that had preceded it. because it went to take away the rights of those who were innocent. It could not be denied but it was a Bill of Pains and Pe nalties in all its purposes—and if parsed, there must be a general change in the representative sys. tem, mid it was a notice to the public that that change must take place. If it was not a Bill of Pains and Penalties. he did not know what it was. However he might differ with the Noble Earl op. posite (Liverpool) in his view of the subject, he was convinced that it would be that kind of dif .ference that would not disturb the friendship which had existed between them for a quarter of a cen tory. When the Crown gave the right of elective franchise, they did not give it to the corporation s but to the majority of those forming it ; and if the majority acts wrong, it was never visited on the corporation itself. It was the first time he had ever heard it contended that the enter of the guilty should he visited on the innocent. The Noble mid Learned Lord then contended that the elective franchise was a trust, accompanied by an interest which the elector had ; mild if the electors of Grampound had been refused to vote nt the last election, they could have brought actions at coin mon law to recover damages for having been de. prived of it right vested in them—for instituter, in early times the expenses of the representative elected for coming to Parliament might be le vied on the electors. Ile repeated his objees tion to sdinitiing in any way the principle of disfranchising innocent persons for the crime of the guilty. His opinion was, that they would do touch better to leave those eases for the laws of the country titan to meddle with them. His reason for that opinion was, that before the Howse should 'lass sod, a Bill as that before them, they were hound in duly first of all to pass 8.11 which should seise as a general R iek e to a ll mankind, to let them know that if they acted or so, such and such would he the certain conse quences and punishment. He reminded the I louse of the interest men had in the po.session of the franchise after paying for, or yielding a lon g period of service, or giving other valuable considerations . which entitled them to it. Thee, in point or morality, the Bill was objectionable. Could any thing be worse than • Bill which would ens' courage voters, in a small corporation to say tat• others, t‘ We mean to be corrupt ; don't von be such" fools as to refuse a bribe—we will take our, and whether 3 nu do or not. if weare found nut the loutish ment will fall upon you as well as us." The Noble Lords who had advocated this Bill were bound to maintain the principle. that by law and the consti tution a corporation became inefficient for its duties whenever the majority of electors should be proved so be corrupt. Ile denied it ; it was hot the law, neither was it the principle of the constitution. lie contended that the power of election lay not with the voters who bud been bribed, but with those who kid remained unbribed. Ile could not allow the ititiocent to suffer for the guilty ; he Would apologize, but he did not thick there could be any thing improper in declaring against a principle which had never been admitted the House. As to the particular case, and I remedy proposed, why transfer the tight to Leet‘C or Yorkshire a Why not follow np the precedeW —mistaken ones, as he feared—but why nut at Wet This day is published, In 2 vols. fliro. price 18s. boards, All ISTO RY of the PERSECUTIONS endured by the PROTESTANTS of the SOUTH of FRANCE; and more especially of the department of the Gard, during the years 1814, 11,18, 1818, 6:e. ; including a Defence of their Conduct frogs the Revolution to the present Period.

The E3rl of LAUDERDALE preeeeled a Petition treat the Merebauta of Hull nattiest any &twat' taking place is the duties ow umber.—Read and laid on the (*Lk. GRAMPOUND DISFRANCHISEMENT BILL. _ The Earl of CAREARVON moved that the Order of the Day for their Lordships going tutu a Com mittee on.this Bill should be read. The Earl of LAUDERDALE rose and said, before the Order of the Day was read, he had to move that a Select Committee of their Lordships should be appoiuted, to inquire and report the names of the present Mayor, Aldermen, and Corporation of Grampound, distinguishing those whom evidence had been given against from those agaiust whom no uccusation had been made. He was of opinion that their Lordships going to the se nod reading of the Bill without this inquiry was a molt iniwarranta- • ble act. He did not mean to contend that corrup. • tion had riot taken place at the elections, but it appeared that the monies the electors re ceived were merely loans. It was highly times my that they should be informed what the actual state of the borough was. It was not his wish that their Lordships should take the evidence on his statement ; what he desired was, that they should take it from the Report of their own Coin mittee. Those electors against whom rvidciare had been given were ouly 18 that were mow in the enjoy meta of the elective franchise, a n d there remained 32 without say accusation being made against them; und why should they be disfranchised fur the guilt of the I 8? la the early part of his parlieinentary life he had been iii the habit of sitting ou Election Comiuittees, and it was held in the Cseninit tees, that electing a Member of Parlianitfut was tot a corporate act—why then should 31 electors he disfranchised for 11w• cr . ea of eighteen ? plant• boroughs had nut 32 voters, some, be believed, only five, yet those 3•. were to be disfranchised by the ',resew Bill, which lie could not call ally thing but a Bill of Poises and Penaltie►, it was cestsinly more a Bill of that nature than the one which oc cupied so much of their Lordships' time in the laid year, and which had received every opprobrious appellation from some Noble Lords. They could not say that the privileges vested in that Illustrious Personage were for her private advantage—they were ve-tea in her for the same purpose as the privileges were granted to the electors of Gram !sound, fur the public weal. He was of opinion that the present Bill was a kind of specula tive measure, built on the round that the public wished for some change in the way they were represented in Parliament, and this was to appease thesis. He did slut believe the people wished for any change in the representative sys tem. Ile had been once a strenuous advocate for reliirm, but as soon as his opinion changed on that subject, lie became as great an advocate on the other side of the question. —(Near, hear.)—At the time lie alluded to the public weir suffering under great thele .

He took it for Unfitted that the object of the maims was to defeat 'The Rill, 'itod tfis - quhfroii - Hove were arguing was the seine which had been discussed on a former . might—the propriety of going into a Committe e on the Bill. It had been celled a Bill of Pains end seshies ; be it so; there were many good thing:: tient by bad names. But he looked to the mean ings not to the qualities of loupes. If the Consti tution allowed of Bills of Pains and Penalties—if the practice of Perhanieest approved! them —the only queasum remaining would be (if they must call this a Bill of Penalties), was the remedy ap plicable to the case ? tie knew that theßill went to deprive parties of rights and privileges ; but what rights and privileges ? Such us were grunted for the public benefit, uml not for individual pur... poses. If the trust were a bused, that. was equal to renouncing it, and it must be tam away ; He thought he had conceded u greet deal, when he put the rights of Corporations and Peers on the same looting. If • Peer were o convicted of gross corruption in his duty, "04 would deprive him. " Yes," it was said, " but then you deprive a guilty man, and not. sit . iimoveist one." But the cases were the same with respect to the argument. They could not 'glee personal identity to a borough, and that was ttie. • only distinction. If a majority of • boriosetande corrupt, it was in the nature of things, oudetheyil could not avoid that the minority must +lolliffetw: with them. As t o transferring the uncorrniitl.d votes to the hundred, it was quite practicable,. but it seemed to him to be a perfect mockery ;,Jet- any one consider the difference made in the voluc of a vote, when it became from one iie 100, °lselin. 1,000 ; still this was not without remedy. Give the pure votes, by a special clause, sous for county ; any one might propose that in a C l om-1 mittee ; he would not, because he did not dedalliid • . necessary. But the plan itself could be de abloca. tam to going tutu the Committee. Wird ditlftber, argument of the Noble Lord amount to if followt4 out ? why that if there were only 30, 20, 10, 5,•.. or even I, uncorrupted elector in • borough, no matter if the corporation contained 999 corrupt, voter, the Parliament could not deprive them. 11 but monstrous effects would the admiseiou of sun, a doctrine Lad to ? Ile had stated that this Dell did not, as usual, convey the right of voting to thrc . neighbouring hundred ; but that was no reason for refusing to go into a Committee. He elisap-, proved of the Bill as it hod been sent up from the Commons, and he would propose an entirely dif ferent remedy. But these were considerations for the Committee, and by no means arguments against it. He was of opinion that systematic cof ruption had been proved which required a remedy. He had always been an enemy to Parliamentary Reform. He was of opinion that it mattered - nV whet her a corporation consisted of 5, or 500, pr 5,000, provided the exercise of the franchis e e were kept pure. lie considered the variety of *or ',oration rights an excellent feature us ethi con stitution, which was unattainable by new One' %eminent,. His principle was never to 'Titans on speculation, or with the hope of making thing. better, but when once a ease of corruption teas. • proved. they ought to obey the necessity of ii, and' apply a remedy. Sift the proofs they might if they; pleased, but if enough of evidence 'manned, there was no more hut to admit such is Bill as that before them. He would support that Bill, not as a Re former, but as a most anxious Anti-Iteformer. was the strongest door which could be shut against the principle of Reform. As to the difference be tween the principle of this and former Bills. he, was rout of °porton that one • county hail temarnany representatives and another too fear. He objected to• transferring the votes to the hundred, because he' wished to save the Cornish boroughs. At prevent there was on locality in those boroughs, except in. the case of Shoreham. lie conceived that u worse case of corruption than Grounpound bud uev-r been proved. Earl BATHURST objected to the Bill, on priori ple, because it went to introduce chairge ; wished that the House would at least adhere • , their own precedents. He objected to taking uses,. • the rights of burgesses; he feared 111141 the proctor-' might lead to parliamentary jobbing, as he had; seen plenty of jobbing through Acts of Portia-r went. He objected to the disposal of the borough through the prerogative. If he were a freeholder" of Yorkshire, he would object most strenuously . to the seats being transferred to that county. Re- .; perieuce proved that it w a s impossibl e to avoid at contest where four Members were to be returned. Lord lIRDESDALE objected to the Bill becaoiie•l its principle was that of population, awl was tt.d same as had beets adopted by the French Couree inns iii dividing the nation into departments, toward) which he considered the proposed division of the comity-of York to be rather a strong overture.
