No Govestiment could net more improperly titan one that refused to cot.: ~ rect abases where they actually did exist; but still those who excited the public passions ohoeld b e perfectly aware that by doing away an evil of small magnitude they might probably Wow up a ferment that would be worse than the evil compluined of. After the best consideration he could wive to this Bill, he thought it might repress some corruptions, but it would have wine other effects that might be disadventageous. As, upon the whole, it would tend to beneficial cousequeoces, he should vote for its third rending. Sir Flee ocis Buenrre thou' , it the Bi ll itself 1 was very unimportant as to toe redress of that grievance that seemed so universally acknowledged to exist. It should rather be called a bill of indem nity to Monsters for what had pained, than a Bill to give security to the country for the future. He was principally called up in consequence of the bi ' 'notations that had lions thrown oat by the lion. Member who had just spoken, against those iudi.e viduals who professed themselves •to he th e ad,o. 1 caws of Reform; of which nueilier he (Sir F. E.) I acknowledged himself to be one. That Hon. Gent. had completely answered himself by his own arguments ; as he had set out with uniting poli tical power with property, and deducing the corol lary. that places, having a connection with property, should have their political power. Upon these grounds lie should have the auppos t of that Hon. Gent.for a Reform to the representatiou in Path:intent. it he (Mr. Davies Giddy) were an enemy to corrup tion, he (Sir Francis Burdett) would like to know what he meant by corruption, after stating, that it would be contrary to the best feelings of nature, for a person accepting an office j to vote otherwise' than with those who gave it to n= ? These being the sentiments expressed, he should only ()breves, upon them, that if the cause of Parliamentary Re form were not necessary to the salvation of the country, it was at least neertosisy to - its happinese. He should think that the Honourable Member, who first suggested this Bill, Would be the one most anxious to oppose its being enacted, for it contained opinions directly the reverse of his own. Instead of five lines of the original bill existing in the present sue, there were only three lines and three quarters. It would be impossible, therefore, far that Hon. Member to have any attachment to such a suppositious offspring, a changeling that had been imposed upon bun. The origi nal bill in fact was entirely melted away, an as to leave nothing but dross ; and instead of being a check or coistroul upon Government, it Would only prove a cover for their future conduct. It was worthy of rethink, that the Right Hon. the Chaacellor of the Exchequer, who must be !setter' upon as the author of this present Bill, was our, who, with his Noble Colleague, stood accused of erisues the moat notorious, and which had been and not to be capable of punishment. Although Mi nisters themselves ackilowlealged the existence of the offence, yet they did not adult proper to apply to the constitution and the law, to re medy the evil. Under such a conduct, even the Hon. Member's Bill. as it formerly stood. would have toren a dead letter upon the statute book ; for it was well known, for a century past, that those practices had existed. and under this Bill they were likely to exi.t for a century to come. He should wry, , 'sat instead of punt% this remit Bill. the House ha.! iu their hands a more consti tutional anode of prthereling. namely, that of rusk- Mg a declaratory law ti. on the 1111*(1. merely (for the purpose of stating w..at the law was as it Moe existed. It ass a mere mockery of a bdl, and only bore the Seis.blance of a bill, as the heads is toe barbers' shops only bore the semblance of human figures. It was absolutely necessary that something should be dune ; and the whole question was one of reform, or it was nothing at all. The allusions that had been made to him, as to what be lied raid upon other occasions, upon Parliamentary r fcrm, were such as were not celled forth by any part of his conduct or expresainiii.. The con victions of his own mind were still as they had been, that there wu an absolute necessity to bring back the Constitution to what it formertj• had been, and what we were still entitled to have it. He ass at any tune reedy distinctly to declare what he thought upon the subject, and he must say, thut ' ' they were now us that situation that it was utterly impossible the House could break up without also enuring to some declaration upon the subjects-. The present measure could never satisfy the public, but would only aggravate the evil. — It was not only an injury, but an insult to , the country. It had caused chagrin, and dime t appointed the hopes of its beet friends. Although 1 at firs: it was a kind of political Messiah, held up i •by the wire men to encourage hopes and expect*. , 1 1 tions ; yet no sooner had it appeared, than like iii" r cord insinuating itself. it ceased every one to tl.s. r agree with another, and hail produced an died p directly contrary to that which it was stated it , would produce. lie did not believe that the Bill, I even as it originally stood, cont.{ have- astiabsd the nation, who were in general more enlightened than .ons, eonsi the g?, lltirird only - poor emotes* his regret, and use the some argu krients as he did on the introduction of the bill. He wee aware that it required 4 reater oink' ie.; than be vies possessed of. ta undertake such a task with ANS* • and therefore he had signified his wish to the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite, that he would ' embark in it. Seine apology might he necessary to the Noble Lord bellied him, but hail he (%lr. eitroien) known that it was his intention to take up the subject, be would not have interfered. It was said, by very high authority, that if the House did not take some proceeding to prevent it, seats would be bought and sold without secrecy—if that measure did not take place,, be feared that they would arrive at that state. He owned that there were many difficalties belonging to the ques tion, which he ilt3 not foresee. From the Act of ‘Villiant and Mary, ha was incliued to think an oath impr.ictirable. If all expenses were put an cud to, some regulation 'should be made, to en able voters to vote in their own pari.hirs. The Honourable Baronet behind him might not think tl.e measure, in its present state, beileticial ; but in his (Mr. C.'s) view, it would remove the influence of money frow Mice, which would be a most ma terial object. The Henourable Baronet had refire stilted it as a bill of indemnity to the practices of corruption ; but he (Mr. C.) did not intend it as such, nor could he understand bow it would hive such an eifeet. He did not wish to act derogatory to all that he bad dome iu the course of his life.— The Hon. Baronet bad himself promised to bring forward a measure to the same effect. He was gild of it; the public would have an opportunity of forming an opinion when it come before them. He hoped, that if the principles were such es could be advantageously adopted, it would meet with more sueceis than bu had. He would not prejedge the question. Ile thought the bill would, even in its present shape, declare to the country au intention to put an end to almatis. Such were his opinions; whatever fate they might experience, he had the approbation of his owl, mind, and while he had that. hatirever the title of popularity might tern, he wa s satisfied. If the bill was adopted, he would be gratified ; if not. he' would willingly support any measure calculated to remove tne inconveniences at which his was • • • • _ Ganerument. 7be (lid, its its presEnt gate, was really not the same us that proposed by his Lion.

It put him iu mind of a certain proposal of marriage ; the person who made it being asked , which lieu ; liter lie would prefer, ammo' ed, whiiili you please ; amid in consequence ef his indifference was told (het he rhould Mane neither ; so, he hoped, the I loule would uct respecting this Bill. The CHANCELi oa of the Eacnenern entered into u spirited vindication of the amemiments lie had proposed. He conceived that much would be done by the Bill in its present form ; the preamble professed to put down the practice of which so ninny complained, and that was nu small ad vantage. With respect to the oath, the Wu. Cent. himself agreed with him that it could not be eetablislied. Parliament, by this Poll, would iie dare, distinctly and clearly, the illegality of the transaction. He rejoiced that the Ruts. liarouct *mild bring forward his ideas upon reform, and concluded with declaring his hope that the bill would pass. Mt. TILRNEY said, that he had hailed the first proposal of the Intl by his lion. Friend, as au aus picious circumstance for the country ; in its present mutilated state, lie could conselt r it no oilier than a delusion of the public. lie ridi culed the idea of itwirtiug upon the advaii- Liges of the preamble, at the same time that its spirit was done . away by the eurytiraaits.— Though nu slave to popular opinion, lie thought tint !louse should be careful of its character. lie could not give the Right lion. Gentleman much merit for his sincerity or consistency; he had pro fessed to support, but frittered *way the provieions of the Bill. He feared that if Parliament con tinued to act so. the public wo ild be inclined to say of it as Doctor Jolla:sou tad bald of :Ur. M`Piserson, that they would be 'tic:ivied to believe what it did rather than what it said.—More mischief could not be done iii a smaller com pass than was done by the Right Honourable Gsatleinitn. The Bill M ui, in taut, his. rather than his (Mr. T.'s) Honourable Friend's, slid, if his Ron. Friend was resolved to support it, he hoped it would be as the bill of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and not as his own. Mr. WILISERVORCa opposed the Bill, a4lll said, if it were suffered to pass, it would stand in the way of a better measure. If it were rejected; aun ther Bill might be brought in next sesioons. more perfect, and more likely to ausser the object in view. 'De House then divided, and there appeared— For the third reading es agaiost it Majority -is A second division took place nit the question 11 That this Bill do pass, when the numbers Were— For the Bill pluming 97 Agai,st it Majority Another division took place on the title of the Bill, when there appeared— lo favour alike title of the Bill Against it Majority Mr. WINDHAM said, that he would trouble the House hut for a short while. The measure he considered totally changed. A cheoge or opinion, when the rotation was the saute, was a difference, and he saw no reason to Com:lode why a cheap of question, when the measure was the seine, shotild not be considered a difference also. Some might maintaiis the contrary : Divers* solidos courponere arnieos. He had opposed the Bill upon two grounds ; fint, in conierpience of the foundation Ull4lll which its necessity wes made to rest ; and s secondly, upon the rciisociings by which it was accompanied. As to the corrupt proceedings, stated to he the foun dation of it, be denied them ; the corruption, as far at it was contended for, wits made by law. It Lad been said, that die Bill had not justice done it ; bat those who were so violent, ought to reflect how they would inflict a wound, that perhaps might never be healed. In the present state of the coun try, and of the public d, extremes of this kind should be avoided ; but he feared that many peo ple, instead of healing, would 1w inclined to ace trier it. When his Honourable Friend said, that if be could not gist the whole of what he 'Wight, he would lie satiAleil with a part, be snide him, it required but an application of the r j uiying, that " half a !Danis better than no brawl." But whim he said that he *mild be satisfied with half a reform, he (Mr. W.) must be excused for not coin prehending his meaning. Of the Bill, it might be said, that it was a beard of a montleigrowt h. A much wider question was the situation of the country. it& n otice, in his opitlion, was not the evil it was repre seated. It might be necessary to correct even 7tltn irregularities of men's reason ; but when - •• they considered that it war to act against feel ings which tenilcil to the overthrow of Govern ment, its justification and necessity would hi a stronger light. if it was said, ,—. influence had succeeded, it was an opi • ` in which Blackstone, and Paley, and Burke, trete all agreed. There were but. three Ways to govern men—by their fears. by their loterests, and by an opinion of their duties. If Influence was rejected. premgative and power thonid be had recourse to. If they wolied to have one upon such a model, there was an example near them, by which they might profit—:hat of France. Bonaparte had no influence, but he had power; it was the possession of that power which mule nence unnecessary to him. The question in • ty lay within a small compass. A compliance with a terapomrypopnliir opinion was a 111..4 de grading submission; he belicrcil that , in general. they who attempted any thing lie it, found them selves mistaken ; it was a false Birmingham coin. not likely to pus enrrent long.

The other orders of the day were then disposed Of. and the House adjourned at ITALY CAST ONE COLD BATH-FIELDS PRISON. The Report from the Commissioners upon the Cold Beth-holds Prison has been printed, and laid before the House of (Mininons. The inquiry was made upo n " the petition of Almada. Stephens, of Perk muse, in the county of Middlesex, and also of the Honourable Society of the Middle Temple. Esq." and it states, that he, together with certain persousthen lately serving the office of Grand Jury men for the county of Middlesex, to the her of abont nine, visited the House of Correction for the said county, coinumuly celled, " The Cold Bath , fields Prison," on Tuesday, November the 3d, 1807, between the hours of eleseo and twelve, in the forenoon. The Petition contains eight specific subjects of complaint; and the petitioner then states. that, " conceiving such gross 'listeners of fraud, coupled with such en op ois violation of the laws, CHI also of the express orders of sessions, are calculates' to bring His Majesty's Government into coutertipt, and cast an unmerited odium on our most excellent Constitution ; thinking also, that if such mid-practices were detected in a casual and slight survey of less than two boars duration, far greater disuses are likely to be loromr,ht to light by the auterventioo of the grand inqueit of the nation ;' he most humbly and esrtirstly solicited the House of Commons " to take the premises into consider ation, and ► iblic end • examination at its ' • it is turnkey, attracted by the noise that De Blin made: Mr. Stephens, in his examination, says. they, Ali Grand Jury, were addressed in French through that' key-hole; and that, though they were nor pa& Lively refused entraoce, there wail a considerabbl degree of hesitation; that hesitation appears to hie nothing more than the question put by the turnkey to Amos, whether he should open the door of De Blin's room which was immediately answered by Amos in the affirmative; and none of the Grand Jury, except Mr. Stephens, have expressed srf idea that leads to a supposition of any Haematite, preventing them from seeing De Blin: It amok from the examinatiou of Mr. Drummond sad Mr. • Grant, that the noise which De BIM made attracted the attention of themselves and Mr. Stephens in the yard; and that fdr. Stephens asked Amos who it was, and was told It was a Frenchman, unausit ted by Government, who was out of his mind. The memorial, which Mr. Stephens states in his petition De Blin presented to him on his knees, he admit., in his examination, to be incoherent in the extreme. This state of De Blin's room appears not to have made much impression on Mr. Stepbeus's memory ; for he could not, at the tune of his red minatmn, say, whether there was any tire-place in it. or how many window. it had, or whether they were glazed ; although, in this section of his petition, he dates De Blin to have been confined to one of the lonely calls, which he had in the pcectdiug section described as being destitute of tire. and open to the outer air.
