The debate in the House of Lords on Monday evening., upon the Newspaper Statnp Duties Bill, •closed the struggle on the part of the country against the severe measures inflicted by the Minis ti re. Upon the clisnicter or there measures it is • unnecessary to argue, because even the Ministers ° themselves acknowledged some of them to be inva sions on the dearest and most •valued privileges of - the people, and which nothing short of the most 'urgent necessity could WV, justified the Govern ment in proposing, or the 'Legislature in sanction ing; yet. so far were the Itlinisters from fairly and clearly proving this necessity, that even their speeches in Parliament, •to the latest moment. proved that the existing laws, if vigorously admi nistered, were adequate to correct the evils, what ever they may have been, with which the country was threatened. We do not pretend to affirm that an equal censure sliqold be indiscriminately at tached to all the enactments of the present Session : there are some provisions to which we are ready to give our fullest. assent, such as the (Misdemeanors Bill and the Military Training Bill ; but the Sedi tious Meetingc s ßill and the Libel Bill are violent infringements of our hest and noblest rights. for which no sufficient cause has been assigned, and whiCh indeed no pretence of an occasional abuse could ever have justified. .

Well, then ! these greetings were all illegal, even under the old dim pens.stioss, and consequently might have been din presed by the Magistrates of the respective places, and the individuals taking a part in such meetings might have bean severely punished. Have we not, then, a right to demand why. in a case that admit test of no doubt, and where the punishment would have been exemplary, the power of the old laws was nut put in experiment, instead of applyiug to Parliauteist for new enictinesits ? No new law was required to render these meetings illegal, or to check the abuse of which Ministers have e isl•in ed, and which alone, iii their tender regard, as they det fared, for the right of public meetings, induced them to interfere, lest the abuse might so far disgust the prople is to make them issdiffsrent to the existence of the privilege ! Actuated by .irdp. kr apprehensions for the liberty of the press, and fearing lest the disseminati tttt of blasithemon, and seditious publications might induce Euglishmen to surrender the right of freely expressing their opi nions, they kindly strpt in and sit.sjed our sacrile gious hands by taking the trembling bictim under their uan cure. and prrscrihing the limits of its ex istence. Hat under the tutelage of the Ministers, the press will possess about us much liberty as is given by the cruelty of a mischievous urchin to his captive bird, who clips its wings and ties a sten% to its leg, and then bids it hap about and enjoy its (*in citing. From public meetings they have taken away that invigorating spirit which numbers alone can ettilillUtileste to the people ; they have emascu lated popular assemblies, and under pretence of enabling the people, by the formation of smaller , • bodies, to deliberate with more effect, they have, its fact, placed them in a situation calculated solely to expose them to the influence of their wealttier neighbours, and to deprive them of the possibility of exercising or expressing their own sentiments. Lord HARILOWBV, in the debate on Monday night, exultingly remarked, that notwithstanding the invitation thrown out by the leading Ti ers of the Opposition at the commencement the Session, that the people throughout the empire should meet and petition the Legi-lature against the threatened measures, not a meeting was held for this purpose, except in London, IVrstruinster, and Southwark. From the silence of the lice* the Noble Lord iorerred their em.eirt. sod said— That if this acquiescence on the part of the people arose from au approbation of the m .... rs proposed by the Go. vernment, and sanctioned by Parliament, he should thence augur well fur the future tranquillity of the country; hut if •.the people really fell that these measures were injurious to •their rights, and subversive of some if their dearest and most valued privileges, as was asserted, then their silence was must ularmiag, for it 'hewed that the people were dis. gusted with the abuses to whirls these privileges had beets exposill, mid that they . would pr. frr Weill: the right of meet. lug and of petitioning ? and even the liberty of the press itself abridged, rather than be exposed to the dangers result. ing flow their abuse. It was :against this feeling tbal he was most ansiuus to guard," die.--(Ses The fr:rittria Prue of yesterday ) We are surprised that it did not occur to the Noble Lo►d, even while he was giving utterance to these sentiments, that ano►her cause might have operated to discourage and prevent the people from ►ending their petition% to the Legislature. Much as the Noble Lord and Its colleagues way affect to tremble, lest the apathy or slisgust of the people of this country should induce them to desire the de struction of their noblest rights, to save them from being occasionally abused, it might occur to them that this apathy or 1311411/ii Will nut yet so universal as to prevent a large portion of the people from sending the express of their m * ' sto the Le gislature, if they entertained any rational hope that their petitions would produce any effect. Will not the Noble Lord acknowledge, that if ten thousand petitions, bearing bona fide the signatures of fivr mil lions of the people, had been, to the great waste of parchment, presented to either House of Parliament against the proposed laws, no alienation would have been thereby effected in the intentions of his Ma jesty's Ministers, or in the conduct of their majori ties ? What attention was paid to the Petitions of the Common Council of the City of London, the Electors of Westminster, or the inhabitants of Southwark ? Does not the Noble Lord also feel that hut little time use afforded for the holding of meetings throughout the country, and that this is not a season of the year ut which popular meetings in the country con be conveniently as sembled ? Is it not also notorious that no popular meeting could be convened during the present state of public agitation and alarm, for the purpose of opposing the measures of the Ministers, without exposing the persons convening it to some personal danger, and to the certain Stigma of bring called covert supporters of the disoffected, and enmities to the existing institutions ?
