PARDONS UNDER THE GREAT SEAL The Marquis.of Mo t iss paieseasenn of his notice. to reeve the ',amid reeding of the Bill for regulating the fees and expenses payable upon suing out Pardons snider the Great Seal. laving hsd oecesiortalready, wheat moving for the prixtuc lion of certain papers conuected with this Bill, to address some observations to their Lordships upon its principle, he should not trouble the House by repeating them. All that he felt it 'necessary to state was, that the object of the Bill *es to re move the heavy stamp duties usually payable upon the granting of pardons, which. amounting to the sum of WI., had too frequently the effect of pre venting persons from eoloying all the benefits wis ing fiom the favour of the Crown, and debarred them of many civil rights, among which was that of appearing as a witness in a Court of Juice. It WWI iwp►oswhle fur him to advert to this sub:ect without expressing his ideas on the propriety of ex tending the principle of this Bill much fortlier. He could not at this moment. when the existing revenue of the country was notoriously inadequate to meet the expent.it se re, entertain the remotest hope of inducing the Noble Earl opposite to consent toms) , reduction in its aggregate amount'. But the effects of the enormous expenses incident to law proceed ing'', in consequence of the high stamp cines, well merited the most serious attentian of the Legisla. tore. Nothing emelt be attended with inure mis chievous consequences than those stamp duties, which had already caused frequent applications to the Legislature, and had led to the establishment of inferior Courts of Judicature, anomalous its our constitution, and founded out a mode Of practice wholly inconai►tent with its spirit. They had, however, been sought for, and applied for, on ac:. count ot the expenses to which suitors were sub jected, wht proceeded according to the ordinary forms of legal procedure. and to such application' the Legislature Itutr been obliged to accede. This part of our system required the most anxious re vision, ■s it involved nut only the character of the j nrisprudesice of the country, but also the safety of the constitution. The LIM was then real a seeoed time. and ordered to be cesnonitted to-morrow. • : ALIEN AEI% Lord Ilor.t.aND gave notice, that be would Ulm an early opportunity of moving for the production of certain papers, in bonsequence of having per ceived by the votea of the flume of Commons that the Alien Act was already in progless of renewal. The papers he intended tb move fur were, copies of, or extra is from, any correspondence between the Secreta►y for Foreign A Wallis and the Al i iiistrrs of any Foreign Governments, restricting the treat:nem of Alirtis in this country ; and also, copies of, or ex tracts friar', any correspindenee that may have taken place between the Secretary fur Foreign Affairs and his Nlajasty's Ambassador at the Court of the Netherlands, relative to the gratiting of passports to forrigue►a desirous of passing into this country, from November. MIS. to the latest period. When he first understood that it was the intention of his Majesty's Ministers to renew the Alien Act, he had asked the Noble Eat! opposite (Liverpool), whether there did not exist some stipulation between the British and any Foreign rower relative to this mea sure? To this the Noble Earl had replied in the negative. He then asked, whether any correspon. deuce had taken place between any Member of the British Cabinet and the Xlinisters of a Foreign Power respecting it ? To which the Noble Earl replied, that mount,;,• had taken place by which the honour of the Dowd, nation could be tarnished. IVith this answer, though by no means explicit, be was obliged to rest satisfied. He had, however, strong reasons to !wheat., that many were disposed to support this measure solely sin the supposition that certain stipulations, to the effect he mention ed, had existed between the British ■nd sonic Fo reign Goves lament—and it was to elucidate this point that he should, on an early day, move for 0104 papery.

IRISH EXCISE. Mr. COOPER rose and said, of all the evils arising from the Excise Laws, with respect to private distil lat. in Ireland, there were, perhaps, 11111 l e wore deserving of notice than the collusion which esistr.l ors frequently between the officers of Excise and the persons who were in the habit a illicit divtillati tttt . lie knew that country gentlemen were thought to be friendly to illicit distillation; but there was no such feeling, except it might be among the very loam description; all were equally impressed with the necessity of putting down the practice ; it was only the cruel means that were adopted to put it down that he objected to. It was true, they often suffered from collusion between the Excise officers and private distillen. The Honourable Gentle man himself suffered in this way once. A person who !lad beets its the practice of illicit distillation, and hiring out a still for the purpose, when he found that trade foil, and that his still was nearly worn out, thought he could do no better than hide the still in one of his (Mr. C.'s) plantations, and inform the Excise officer—thereby receiving a re ward himself, and the Excise officer • fine. He would now advert to the particular case which occasioned his troubling the House, and to which he would request their attention. By an Act of the 55th of the King, the having unlicensed malt in possession is constituted a misdemeanor. The punishment to be awarded upon conviction, is a line of not more than 100/. nor less than 10/. to he paid to the prosecutor —or, instead of fine, a pm nishment of *ix months imprisonment. At the late Assizes of Sligo,among the indictments which came before the Grand Jury, were a visit number for misdemeanors for having unlicensed malt, in which the Excise officers were the prosecutors and wit limes. When the prisoners were put upon their trial, he would beg the House to attend to the way the prosecutions were conducted. The prose cutors, viz. the Excise officers, advised the prisoners to plead guilty, and that they would b e immedi ately discharged. They did so —were, of comse, convicted. and fined 101. each, for which the prosecutors, viz, the Excise officers, immediately gave receipts. without paymeut, and the prisons-, immediately left the Court, hurraing, to begin their illicit practices again. It might he asked, why the Excise officers had so acted ? The reason was, they were perfectly certain of never receiving the tine from the prisoners, whom they knew to be tot able to pay; it was, therefore, better for the trade to let them go, particularly as the officers w.-re ro titled to a reword from the Commissioners of Ex cise, as he (lir. C.) was informed. of in/. upon each conviction. Now. will the Ilouse please to con sider (void the Hon. Gentleman) the nsisekievous effects of this proceeding.
