IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, Tursmiy, Dscsmasa 21. M ISDEM EA NO PA • Mr. Beta:DES and others from she House of Commons brought sup the Misdemeanor Bill, wish amendments, to which they desired their Lurdshipa'eoinurrenee. The LORD CHAXCLLLOR stated, that the amendments were only Su extend the operation of the Bill to Ireland, and to allow defendants in such eases copies of indiennesats amid informations Gee of expense. He then moved, that she Horse should agree to the amendments, which was carried in the affirmative, and after a few words from Lord Hof.- LAUD, expensive of his approval of time measure, the Bill was tinnily passed. SEDITIOUS MEETINGS.: The Eli! of Lir V.R1.001. moved the Order of the Day fur the third reading of the Bill for the pre veution cf Seditious Meetings. The Noble Lord then proposed some verbal and clerical amendments, which were agreed to. Lord ELLENDOROUGIi proposed a clause, en abling u meeting, which had been dispersed from some irregularity by a Magistrate, to)onieruble again iu four days.—[The present Bill requires sal days notice.] —Rejected. On the motion " that the Bill do pear"— Lord 'Unit E rose, as he Paid, briefly to address their Lordships upon this measure, although he despaired of being able to produce any impression upon the judgments they had already formed.— Indeed he doubted whether, now, after they had passed so many measures severely restrictive of public rights, an impression could be made upon them from any quarter whatever. He hoped, h u es ever, that no voice would be exercised in vain which was raised in defence of liberty. He Meant not to impute illiberality or injustice to any man, but certain it was, that however correctly their Lordships might feel upon other subject., upon the present state of the country they seemed to labour tinder borne delusion. He was ready to agree that meetings had been held in the metropolis, and various parts of the country, which were ettremely numerous, were 110 less useless, and might be very dangerous. Their object undoubtedly was not what it professed to he, to petition the Legislature; the people Rocked to them in military array. with music and symbols of a seditious character, and agitators sp. peered among them, with the evident iutent of ex. citing and ii.flaming them to acts of eiolencr. For all these the Bill furnished a sufficient re. medy ; fur one clause provided, that meetings should not be too numerous, soother that music and symbols should not be used at them, mid a third warded against the evil of itinerant orators; and with these provisions, aided and enforced by an active magistracy, every danger might be ob. visited, without infringing upon the liberties of the subject. When the danger was obviated. *mild it not have been advisable to keep es closely as pomible to the principle of tl'e law. and endeavour, by 'hewing a regard to the interests and f,ebugs of the people, to bring backiheir affections. end unite them to the Government ? fled Ministers manifest. ed • disposition to contilsate, while they corrected, they would have had an unanimous Paeliameat, and they would also have created • conlidesee in Parliament ce-eittensiee with the evil that no* op. pressed the country. What now was obtained by the 'wettest Bills? they had doue eothittg to win the confideste or the people, dud had placed an over whelasiog power in the hands of the Magistrates. No man was more ready then he was to give ample testimony to the merits of the Magistracy of Eng laud. bet he would not plate in their hands the hinnies af would arse give up- tit their uncontrolled discretioll the right of attending public meetings. The Noble Lords opposite had thrown every thing into their hands—.they had reserve ed nothing even fur their own spies —every thing was thrown into the hands of the Magistratesl end highly as he may respect that body of men, he would not be so crnfiding—he would not give such power to an angel from !leaven, tress though he were to see his wings peeping from under his robe. But why should he dwell upon this subject. upon which his Noble Friend 'tear him had on a former night everted his eloquence, and whom he had heard with much delight—for he had known his loather when a child in her cradle, and his father was the s ompanion of his professional la bears..—[The Noble Lord alluded, we presume, to Lord lEllenboroughl —No mats had a right to inspote feelings and sentiments to another which his own words would not warrant, and yet any Ma gistrate was given such a right. and might, upon his own disoetion, disperse a meeting within • goatee of en hour liv his watch. Hut what was the disease. what the danger with which they were threatened ?—the danger Res a distrust clutch the people had in Parliament. Ministers too readily assumed that their government bad been wise and protective. and that the people had no grievance of which they ought justly complain. mud that they were ready to fell into rebellion without retools. It would now be fully in him to retrace the policy which Ministers Mid pursued during the lasi 24 years, and to contend, in opposition to the declared will of Parliament, that the war they had been so long pursuing was inequitable and impolitic. The fact. however. was, that such was now the general opinion of the country. Far be it from him to say that all who thought their policy faulty, and the war unnecessary and unwise, were enemies to the State, fur such was his own opinion, Rod to this et. fact he had long since published his sentiments to the world. True indeed it was, that the wet had at length arrived to so tit it was impossible to. retract; bat thit ha Mien the first pert of Shokspeare's text, 4° beware of entering into • quer. rel." The Learned Lord then took a brief and rapid review of the policy of the war, and remarked that various occasions had offered for putting au honourable termination to it. Much glory had been obtained by the vigorous prosecution of it ; but what was that glory ?—none to • starving pea. pie. In the wants of the people the source of the present discontents were to he found, and in their wants Parliatneut ought to aympathise. No doubt universal suffrage and auntie! psi llamado.** far from offering a remedy to the evil, would its themselves operate an evil of far greater turpitude; but there was a cure for it—unite the people, in steed of endeavouring to separate them, and the danger of these doctrines would be gone for ever.— The Noble Lord then quoted some extracts from a letter written by florae Tooke its the year 1782, to Lord Asliburnhatn. against universel suffrage and annual parliaments, in which the writer ad mitted that etery man had au equal right to a Aare in the government of the country. but not ■ right to an equal share. The Noble Lord said, that at the present moment, when it was the object of Ministers to meet blasphemous publications by the dissemination of religious tracts, if they thought it advisable to correct erroneous political opinions by the extensive publication of better principles, they could not Roil • more effectual antidote to universal suttaige than Mr. Tooke's letter. Ile said that whatever his own sentiments might be upon the question of perlienseutary reform, lie was well pleased to learn the motion made by a Noble Lord who sits in smother place (Lord John Russell), of which it was now impossible to calculate the ad vantages. The great principle of reform was esta blished. and if there was a ladder extending. like Jacob's, from earth to heaven, it was of advaidage to be able to mount even one step. He was at all times reedy to oppose force to violence. but he warmly contended that there was no evidence that violence was contemplated by the great body of the people! on the contrary, he was well convinced that the mass of the people were loyal and sound. The laws bad not been auflicieutly enforced—there was no prosecution for libel in tele, and but one conviction in IWO I amid if he were not permitted to use this argument to prove the negligence of the Ministers, he was certainly entitled to apply in an other direction, to testify the absence of this crime, of which so much had bees spoken.—(Heat.) Earl DAIUILIT remarked, that the measure now before the House was probably the most important in the new cede which Ministers had prepared for the consideration of the Legislature. He could not agree with his Noble Friend who spoke lost, that what be and his Noble Friends had urged against these several Bills had been uttered in attn. To their credit they had stood nobly for the pub. lic rights of the country, mad interposed between the Government end the people. The coosequeaces of their exertions were to be saes is the improve. astute which had already taken place in several of their enectments, even these ts those alteration s may, in easel, have been in another place. The Noble Earl then reviewed the several Bills. sad alluding to that which related to blasphemous —gm remarked upon the inconsistency of ad. during the instance of Cathie's guilt, to prove the iiseffieacy of the existing law, when it was notorious that Cathie was effectually ruined by the convic tion and judgment pronounced 'monist him. The law, then, upon this point. and certainly upo n mousy others, niitrt have been suffered to remain as it was, provided the Government *mild rufarce it. He admitted that such meetings as had recently taken place ought not to he Puttered, fur they men end in the subversion of the Government ; hot what he had to complain of was, that the Gowen,. meat had not taken such measures as might, if timely adopted, hare prevented the occurrence of each evils.—(fleue.)—He wordily deprecated the principles of Universal Suffrage and Annual Pal. liaments; but !waverer censurable one species of Reform might be conceived, it was not a goal season fur refermag eve" hind of Roraima I ha therefore agreed with his Noble Friend in pp. plauding the motion 'nude in thr lions. of Corn. moos by Lord John Bondi. There was a danger that Parliament and the country might be driven by their fears rather to adhere pertibaciously to old abuses, than to entertain the moat salutary species of Reform; but this they should carefully avoid. and it was the duty of their Lordships to shew that Parliament and the people were bound by one interest, and were actuated by an equal regard for the general welfare. Lord ELLENBOROUGH—Having recommended to the House a clause, which, in his opinion, would have effected a very considerable improvement isi the Bill, he begged leave to say a very few words upon the general character, before he gave his vote for its final adoption. He was convinced, that by an uniou alone between Parliament sod the coun try any great and serious advantage could he at. tinned. and nothing could ensure this most salutary union but by Parliament's 'hewing a disposition to deal gently with the erring people, and to *yaws. tinge iit their sufferings. He felt a very sincere regret at FcCeial of the enactments in the present Bill, particularly as they seemed to tufringe upon the general poor:pies of the Constitution, yet he felt the siecessil or voting for it. No man could esteem inure highly then he did ilia constitu. firms, advantage of popular meetings ; he looked upon them as the source of that pub lic spirit wind, peculiarly diatio g nished this com l . try, and which gate in the whole fabric of the constitution its life and energy ; he even firmly believed that the late war had never been carried on with ouch vigour and effect were it slot for the occasional public meetings that were held to col. peer the sense of the people, and concentrate their united spirit mid resolution. % r aking, a, he did, public meetings, he yet voted for this Ball, fur he felt that maiy of its enactments weut not to re. went but to preserve the right to.aeitore to the people a power they had by the modern practice lost. that of free discisssion—and to the Parliament, a power of the utmost advantage, that of being enabled from public meetings to collect the opt nions of the country.—(Neer, heor.)--For, ac cording to the modern ',reciter. the real voice of the public had no means of expression, for such bodies of men stay traverse the country from one point to another, marl outvote the very inhabitants of the place ha which the meeting had been con. veiled, by whirls memos a small number of persons may, provided they have sufficient ac.ivi.y. give a sembhowe of iiiiiiti)ers moil of nverwhel g maks. faits upou subject w whicls they were interest. ed.
