The Noble Earl (Lathurot) asked, what would be the initiation of iolormerv, if they were exposed—if they were left 'open to taw attacks and observations olNoble Lorda on this side of the House ? Was that the danger from which they were to 1* pro. titled ? Was that the evil they apprehended ? Whatever effect it might !wean their feelings, mach goptl would be operated by ouch othervatious. It would tend to point out those inlortners who acted from a principle of repentance—it would tend to expose those false wretches, *lto sere formidable to private iudividualr, and to the Governtuent it. self—whose c hunt was the (dotting of the worst mid buseot motives ! The Legislature ought to have an opportunity of distinguishing between those who acted fro* just lettings, and those whose deeds were theVisrang of that Winton* malignity which tirtes6 inffpeuted a base and hod man to become an Informer. It individuals fairly stated facts which Witt honestly come to their knowledge, why should they shrink from the avowal of their conduct? He did not hke to encourage such a system; it was opposed to English ; it was more allied to the law of Venice, or of some of those States in which (hulloes* and seeress , prevailed, than to the free Conotitriliun of togland. He stated this, lint because he would altogether refuse isolivi- Aori ibroirction, but to call the attention of the Itomse to this 'mint, that, when they granted such protection, (1k y made a great mid dangerous ex ception, with reap eet to tire .geueral principles of law. Its passing this Bill, therefore, end in every proceeding cmitected with it, the latticed caution should be olnervel. To use the stone/ hut homely words of a great Statesman, the lite *Mr. Wind. tlsey might, before they passed the Lill, to be suit otity peakctly iniotred that they were con. vinced of its orceisity, hut also that they came h o ok.itly by their conviction. ,filifelt that ono con. tamed .the was not founded on the Report at the Committee. fit 'die Preanthle or the Rill, the nyceesity perviptv fur acts dune contrary to lite was distinOte 'slated—hots from the Iteport of - Ilse 'Coindiitter, it might be 'lyristd that no . such esitted.—.

Did they not see, even after Goverument had taken active me.i sures to put down the disaffected, that an in surrection took place ? What then, he would ask, would have belts the situation of the c t ry, if thaw efforts to destroy the evil in its infancy hid not been retorted to ?—(Hear, hear.)—But it had been said, that this was sill the work of informers, and the names of two persons were mentioned— names which. when uttered, seemed to create a very strong feeling amongst those who were not acqoainted with the eircuinotances relative to the, individu a ls. Now, with respect to one of theta s be: had been arrested, us a person concerned 'in Illifits; sonable designs, before lie gave any information— and, is. to the other, no person hid twit apprehend ed on any statement lie had made. It most, how ever, be admitted, that, without such persons as those, conspiracies never could be discovered; auk he believed, if the represelitations of those, who, on the late occasion, stated what they knew of the treasonous designs of the disaffected, hail not been listeried to, the country would have been subject ed to the must lanaeutable evils. The Noble Earl then defended, by a reference to former Indem nity Acts, the propriety and necessity of the pre sr-in--and inquired whether it was possible, when Ministers or Negiatrgtes in. their uudeavoury to preaeree the peace of th e country, had a little ex ceeded the ordinary bounds of law. that the Legis lature could refuse them that protection which their honest intentions deserved and demanded ? The Eint of CinnAnToll. looking to that part of the Bill which tweet to give .proteetion to Alegi*. trate', asked, whether this was so ordinary a course of proceeding—whether Bills of Indemnity were of so common and every-day a nature—that **Oa pro vision should be brought before the Muse. without may information whatever to support it ? He.could not agree to the erguntent, that. because 10,000 I Oleo asawmbled together, that assembly must, prima 'facie, be of an unlawful nature—although such was the ground laid down by the Learned Lord as a reit eon fur this provision. It might be illegal to dig-. perse an assembly of that number--and, therefore, lie conceived, it was their moat . imperative duty to establish such a Measure as would leave open . a mode of inquiry into the conduct of Magistrates-- distinguishing those whose cases were connected with information, the disclosoke-bf rfiieh wooid compromise the public safety, from those which did not involve any such consideration. He had intended, on the-third reading of this Bill, to pro. pose an amendment, which was rejected in the Committee. for permitting persons to prOsecute Magistrates, when the Secretary of State refused to swear that their defence depended on the dis closure of evidence, the withholding of whiCh was essential to the public gimsl—but; after the novel mutter which had been introduced by the Learned Lord into the preamble, it would be useless todo that —and his wily course was, to give his direct negative to the Bill, unless the amendment were agreed to. If any thing could ever indute him talsionur a Sllll. pension Act, it was the heavy responsibility which short Id attach to Ministers in the exercise of the powers grante d un d er die greater the power given, the snore serious ABMs! that responsibility be.— But here, without any adeqoate cause being as signed—on a Report the toast meagre that ever sip. streared—a full Indeittrity wits about to 'he ponied by that (louse.

There had been nothing done decisive its the former Committee, except to express a decided opinion on the ueceseity of pursuing the inquiry.

A very moderate suns would mower this purpose. When he considered the grants for the sister kingdom, which were sel dom lees than ass Himmel sum of 0,0001., he thought something of a 'similar description ought to be douse in this country.
