• to Scotland for the puretiiie ilhok stock. This was done under the faith of Parliament, and per haus the investment might be effected between the . day of passing this Act, and the day on which the passing of it would become known in Edinburgh. A few days ought therefore, in justice, br allowed to suffer the completion of an Act commenced on 'the faith of the Legislature. He had not an oppor tunity of studying the effects of this Bill, but even •lice he hart got on his legs, it struck hint that by the preamble of the Bill. the House was called upon to take away one of the prerogatives of the Crown, without any intimation of the acquiescence of the Crowe in such u determination, and without a Mes sage. It was not impossible that those who had already shewn themselves so ignorant of the exist. ence of a very important law, so ignorant too of the effect and extent of the measure now proposed, should he also very ignorant of its possible effect upon the prerogatives of the Crown itself. For these considerations, and in the apprehension that such s p►otceding might be drawn into precedent, he should protest alpinist the present measure alto gether.—/Hear, hear.) The Bill was then read a second time. The commit"! of it was negatived. It was read tile third time, and on the question for its passing— Earl GRZY rose and said, that he could not suffer the present measure to pass without entering his decided protest against the practice of hurrying Bill, on one night through all their stages---a practice which could not but be atteuded with the moat dangerous consequences. Ministers had in deed brought the country to such a /1110111011, that even oi day's delay might be attended with 1:011r+1.• deeable inconvenience. He of course alluded to the immediate dissolution of Parliament, and to the proceedings that have been instituted in the country consequenceofthisexitectat . . But whatever may he the inconvenience thence arising, if it were pot into the scale opposed to that of suspending the Standing Orders of the Howe on inconsiderable pretences. he could not hesitate in waking his elect between thetu.—(Herse, hear, hear. / But whatever was the normal/courtier, it should be recollected that it was ceased by the acts of Minis ters, who did not bring the oubject in sufficient time before the consideration of Parliament. The Standing Orders of the /loose were the securities established by the wisdom of successive ages for the preservation of the best interests of the coon try, mill though he doubted not that instances might he produced of the snopension of the Stand ing Orders, yet they would be found only in Calk* of urgent necessity, and not merely for the par ;Noses of ministerial convenience. The present Till seemed to have originated, and to proceed in the ignorance of Ministers ; and lie now asked them, if they were aware what Acts of Par liament they purposed to suspend by it, and what rights of individuals were about to be affected ? 011 a former OCC.IPIOII. the Noble and Learn ed Lord oil the IVonlsack had expressed his desire, that a Bill were brought in to pre sent the naturalization of aliens, except by Act of Parliament. 'lite Noble and Learned Lord, however, hail expressed this desire, without consi dering the many various means whereby aliens me. ritorniusly acquired naturalization; and on their being noticed by him, the Noble and Learned Lord acknowledged the force of the objection, sod con sented to forgo his previous opinion. It was not how rmveir, too much to ask of the Noble Lords opposite, what was the extent and bearing of their own mea sure ? The Bill did not recite the Statutes which were to be repealed, and he remembered an in stance in the present Parliament, where an objec tion wite made by the Noble and Learned Lord cm tile IVoo!sack, founded upon this point, to a Bill 'for removing the penalties attached to the offence of impugning the Trinity, which proved fatal to the tie could not see why the same objection was not possessed of equal force in regard to the present measure. Many of the Statutes to be sus pended by this Bill, were Acts of the Parliament of Ireland, he understood eight in number, by which foreign Protestants were induced to settle in Leland, hut of which the operation depended upose the Lord Lieutenant'''. license, but they were not recited in the Bill. After alluding to the injuries arising to individuals from the enactment of this "measure, and the increase of arbitrary power it might give to a credulous Secretary of State. the Noble Lord concluded by expressing bis wotest against the proceeding as unnecessary, and fraught with the most dangerous consequence The Earl of LieLiteoot. remarked, that the Noble Earl had in the commencement of his 'speech acknowledged that a delay of even a single 'day might, under present circumstances, cause very great inconvenience, and thence argued on the propriety of hastening the measure. 'the sus pension of the Standing Orders was notoriously prac tised in every Session of Parliament, and even the right of doing so was implied by that Standing Order which required that none should be auspend ed without a day's previous notice. But he would not rest the case merely upon this, for he con tended that having passed an Alien Bill, front po litical considerations, it was the bounden duty of the House, even if Parliament were to sit for a month, to suspend the Stendiag Orders of the House, that not a moment might he lost in poising the present measure. If the slightest delay, even of a few days, were to he permitted, the Alien Bill would become a mere nullity, for every alien in the country would in a few days be divested of that character, hi' purchasing stock of the Bank of Scotland.—(l /earl—lle did not conceive that the enutneraii 111 l of all the law to he suspended by the present Bill was necessary. The present measure was inertly one for the temporary suspension of these Statutes. It was, indeed, his idea that they should be repealed altogether, but the present period of the Session was not proper for so extensive re consideration of ►he question. It watt his opinion that no aliens should become lemmatized but by meritorious services, or such other means as gave some security for their becomitig good sill+ ctss Earl SPENCER ruse, for the purpose of entering his protest against the entire proceeding, us an outrageous violation of the forms of the House; and when he considered the character of the clause lately introduced, and the elution, changes of opt mon that accompanied the progress of the present measure, lie could not but consider it at a very efanv,e,iiss precedent. The removal of the retro - t given to the original clause, was, he strongest objection he entertained to LON DON. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10, 1810. Last evening the Lords dispensed with the Standing Orders of their House, and permitted the Bill for sus pending the Act of the Scottish Parliament relative to the naturalization of aliens to pass through all its stages. !Ministers have thus succeeded in repairing, by some means, the error of their former proceedings, but ant w►thout violating, in the most outrageous manner, the forms 10111111 y acknowledged by both Houses of Parliament. A B►ll, of which to a certain extent we have already expressed our approbation, but which is undoubtedly of such great importance, and involving the con•iulerutinn of so many various interests, as to merit a mote serious discussion, was forced in two days through both Houses. This haste was perhaps necessary in the present state of the country; but this only proves the impropriety of the condnct of Ministers, in not having brought the Alien Bill at an earlier period before the con sideration of Parliament, and their presumption in legislating upon subjects of which they have proved themselves totally ignorant. This Bill being passed, Parliament will this day he prorogued by the Pitincs; Iteot:ter in person. The dissolution wJI take place, we understand, 10-morrow. We have received Paris Papers of Sunday last. A telegraphic dispatch announced to the people of Paris on Saturday that Bastide, Jansion, and Collin!, were executed nn the preceding Wed nesday at Albi, for the murder of theSieur Fu A LoEs. Intelligence from Lausanne states, tistit the lake formed in the Valley de Bagnes, by an accutaulatima of snow wattrs, and the stoppage by ice of s small stream, has increased, and that the labours of a large bods• of workmen, under the direction of en. spective effeei lillowed, the it. He agreed with the Noble Tail (Gicy) that the convenience of Nlieristers was lint to be COM. pared with the importance of the Standing Orders of the House, and he therefore should again ex press his decided opposition to the entire proceed ing. Lord fIoLLAND begged leave to add a few wonla to what he had already said on this subject. He should ask the Noble E irl (Liver I), whether there was any Act of Parliament, English. Irish, or Scotch, which gave to aliens the right of native subjects, 0111 the expiration of a g r ain, p er i o d If such were the case, how would their rights be affected, if the period should chance to expire dur ing the Suspension? The Noble Earl hail closed the Session with some very strong measures, which were, in fact, quite unnecessary. They were sharp swords, which the Noble Earl should not have taken down from the armoury, but on great occasions. The Noble E►rl, on the original intro duction of the clause attached by their Lordships to the Alien Bill, asserted positieely, that if it were lint made retrospective. the s afety of this country and the tranquillity of Europe would be endanger ed. It happened, however, that the Noble Earl had since entertained leas apprehensions from the forty-nine individuals who had purchased the Bank stock ; and possibly if the House were to have required the usual number of days for the regular passing of a Hill, even though in the mean time not 49, hut 59, or 69. or 99 aliens were to become naturalized, the Noble Earl would, even ih ouch a case, discover some means for tranquillizing his spirits.—/1/ear.) The Hill was then passed, and the House ad jourtied. ROUSE OF COMMONS, Tuesoav, Joss 9.

The Eleventh Report from the Finance Com mittee has been printed by order of the Moose of Cmmons. It contains the result of the inquiries by the.

The first view presented in the Report chews the decrease in the receipts, and the increase in the expenditure, for the year 1917, us compared wills the estimates of the Finance C • tee coutained in the Fourth Report. This is no very flatternig picture either of the state of the finances of the country, or of the exertions of Ministers to reduce the expenditure within the inc o me ; nor is the prn:peet very lunch brightened with regard to the present year, for the probable expenditure for lAI4 iv not only equal to the actual exp.-miaow of 11417, but exceeds, by nearly three millions, the estimate of the Commit tee.
