The LORD CHANCILLOR having put the clues tinta— Earl GRIM new, and expressed his surprise :it the warmer in which the Report, which had just beets read. lied been received. The Bill in cries tins, had been sent down fr that House to the Hiiiise of Commons, with a cleave which had beets introduced with an express allegetion that it was in disiwsisahle to give the Bill effect, and their Lord ships were called upon, so important wu the clause considered. to dispraise with their usual forms, iii order that it might he passed with the greater cele rity. Notwithstanding this procerdisie, however, now the the Commons had thought proper to rejet t the clause. they were called upon without tiny ex planation, to subscribe to e resolution which mill bated eeiiiiely ageing their former opinions. For hi. nun port, he thought the B II was much no. proved by the omission of this clause. fur be could mu help coming to the conclusion that it was not only impolitic, but unjust. He thought. in fact, that every thing which wrist to resider the Bill islet- Silent would he productive of public udrantage. e--/Hette ) —l3g,t whets he recollected that a majo rity of 'bet House had •Lreed to the Bill in its emended form, he considered that the presenatimi of their dignity, as a brooch of the Legishouee, de minded some other course than that which h.d been taken. The House of Commons had not con- descended to give ivy reason fur the rejection of their amendment, and yet they were called upon, without explciiiiion, to alisalslloll it altogether—to elooldroi that without which it had been strongly urged ilw Bill would be totally ineffective. The Noble E then pro ceded to cumniesit upon the impropriety of coining to this determination in ilia absentee of those who had supported the amend. meat, and who, to maintain their own consistency, ought at least to lure on opportuoity of explaining the Komodo upon which they might be inclined to accede to this Dew proposition. With these feel ings, and with a view that the House should take the subject deliberately into their consideration, lie begged to move, as sin amendinent to the motion of the Noble Lord, " That the further consideration) of this Report he delrried to Mondry next, and that the Lords be summoned." The question having becu put upon this amend- Meet, The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, that he was not prepared to retract one word of what he had said 'item the importance of this clause. Both in point of volley and justice, he considered it necessary to the protectiou of the natural rights of British sub jects. Fur if it were possible by a trick, such as this clause wu tut a n t to guard tieing, to enable a foreigher to obtain all the rights' of a natural-born subjec., there would he an rod of all their labours fur a century past, for the maintenance of those rights. The irriticiple upon which he acceded to the abalitlistimelit of their emendinent was not, r, from any feeling of its impolicy. but ▪ curve ion that the other House, stroll; its inn portaiice, eithottoli objecting to the form of ite in trieloctum, would hot lad theink Ives to originate a measti s of precis, ly the same &sediment. Lord !twits up said, that even admitting that the argissis. sit of thin Noble bind was not subversive of just ice, it was at least celculited to excite plea oinory. lie said, that upon this subject lie had re tracted tio opiii hut yet he would call upon their Lordshes to otters all theirs. He could n ot lint coos:der these rei timcerdings of deep litimihalon to their Lardships. It was not the crime, hut the • e. %%limb eccasioor d thie humiliation. The retimper tier part of the Act Vibe the main point. Let them not " lay the nattering unto to their soul," t h at this was merely an Act of the Scotch Parlianielit. It was no such thing. It originated with them, hut it was re-enacted by the Broidi Paritanirot in the year 1774. The Noble Earl (Liver;mol) said, lie would cell um, ;toy promo to say. whether he knew of the existeiire of this Act beim• thus- month of April last ? Why slushlsl the Nesbit fad ask th it questing,, or why suppose t h at the Act was unknown ? Was it because the Noble Earl himself was in ignorance of it, that it should lir wilts:own to every other person ?—(//toe.)— The fact of this nwasiire showed that violence and injiidice were often sufficient to defeat themselves. He did nut memo to accuse their Lordships either of violence or iiijieoice, but the whole traesactien tended to bring this emonlatory feeling to his mind. it was said, that sot h au Act could slid be looked upon as tending to an infraction of the rights of property ; that the law heing lung unknown and dormant, the repeal of it mold produce no injury to indivithiols. He driiied that the law was un known. No person bail proved that it was so ; hut even rdsnettisui the fact, es an ignorance of thr law ism. not sufficient to protect criminals, why should it hi- au excuse for the destruction ot rights? hear.)--The foreigner who bought laud weir. this Act vs•ss as completely iti possessors. of it as rely of their Lordships was of .ilia estate. The present Aill would go to eeneett foreigner* so pres . mewled of 'poverty tom mere trustees for the Cream. The Noble 11. it ilLiverporsl),said he was quite im minent, muter ilw ext.tesiee of • low, the effete or which was, if acted upon. to Rive the rights of free-liorn subjects to any foreigner, without'being compelled to take en oath of allegiance, or without lot obligation to perform any of the dutira of a soh loci. He was before anxious for its repeal, not only prospectively, but retrospectively. Now, however, he seemed willing to tots a little water with his wine —/A 1 degh )—ttnd to make it merely a pro spective measure. On these ground' he would sup port tlw matins, of his Noble Friend (Earl Grey The Marquis of Laxsooive said, that, upon a former occasion, he admitted that the facility al lowed to foreigners by this Act of the Scotch Par liament should not be allowed to exist. lie was still of the mine opinion, but lie ever thought that, hn justice, the repeal of it should be prospective, not retroopective. It would lie a great injustice, a com plete spoliation of rights, to deprive foreigners of the advantages they reified under an Act passed for many year*, recognised by the British Parlia ment, and under which they had acquired property. Foreigers became possessed of rights under this Act, iii the same way as all other rights were obtained, by law. It was attempted to justify the repeal of this Act, upon the ground that it had fairest into disuse, and was quite unknown. Such was not the case. The existence of the law was well known— snd though permit+ not immediately interested is, it might not have been -swam of its existence, it was f. liar to many, as well to those who Itit ac (pared property wider it as to others. The best mode, in his opinion, would be to adjourn the con sideration of this question to a further period. By that means they would give time fur the introduc tion of a new Bill, which might be carried regularly through all the stages in both Houses. The Earl of IiAnnOWBY supported the proposi tion of his Noble Friend (she Earl of Liverpool). Such au Act should not be allowed to continue in molesters. It was now brought under their Lord ships' notice for a ',atilt ular porpoise. after having for a long time remained forgotten. ansl almost completely unknown. He did not blame thous who mask the diacovery otter Acts upon which the objec tion to their Lordaliiise ametithneuts were founded. The law, however, which afforded such facilities to frinigeters, ahisulri no longer be allowed to continue its existence. When the Art of 1771 plowed, it must have bees, that the tendency of this law was unobserved, or else the British Parliaweist would never have given their sanction to it. Lord lIOLLAND could not believe that the Bri tish Parliament were ignoraut of what they were doing alien the A t of 1771 passed both Houses. The Earl of LAUDERDALIC said, that he should not have troubled their Lordships with any observa tions, were it not firr some ideas that were thrown sow, which he could not allow to paw in silence...—. The Noble Eat! (Liverpool) defied any person to say, that he knew this to be the law of the land in April last. He could assure that Noble Earl. that he was well aware of the existence of such a law. A Noble Lord, s friend of his, knew thst he (Lord Lauderdale) had staled to him many months hack that such was the law. There was not a single Director of the Bank of Scotland, or an eminent Lawyer counected with that Back, who was not aware of it. It was not a mere dormant Act, or one merely emanating from the Parliament of Scot land ; it was recognised and confirmed by various Acts of the Brinell Pailiament. It was said to be a private Act : it was no such thing ; it had been tong acted upon. Many foreigners had purchmed property upon the faith of it, and it would be most unjust to deprive them retrospectively of its benefit.. It was as puhlic'as any Act upon the Statute Book, but, like many others in which persons were not im mediately interested, it had not been adverted to. The Nolde Earl (Liverpool) should not conclude from his own ignorance of it, that others were in the same predicament. Fur hie own part, lie was well scare that a law of the kind existed, but he did not consider lams! If called upon to commu nicate the circumstance, and he was not sorry that he had given an opportuisity tar proposing the amend ment which was rejected by the other House. The House then divided upon Earl Gary's atueudnieist as follows: Ayes Nees 3l Majority lt Mier which the House adjourned HOUSE OF COMMONS, SATURDAY, Mrs I.

The paper tawhiels . he alluded had pre sumed to state, that he had, in an authoritative lour. appealed to the !t i melier. with • triumphant anticipation of the result of such on address. Now the tone he lissome(' was finite the reverse. mid he could appeal to the House whether he had been on this occasion fairly represented. or wilfully and perversely maligned, He could confidently appeal to the recollection of the House against the gross misrepresentation of his conduct in the calumnious comments that had heel' made its a Morning Paper 111411 Ills speech. Every man who beard him must know that these comment* were gross and un founded. It was soot his intention to pursue this matter further; hut he trusted the /louse would join him in deprecating such a calomel as he hail alluded to.—(Dear, hear.)—The comments on his speech, he thought it right to state, were in The rinses newspaper. The SPEAKER said. that as no motion was made, he could not, without the greatest delicacy, advert to the observations just made by the Right Hon. Gentleman. It ass due, however, to that Right Hon. Gentleman to state, that front his full rect.!. lection of what had passed, there was not the slightest ground for the comments alluded to. The Right Hon. Gentleman was folly justified in taking the earliest op;sortanity of discherging a duty which implicated a question of privilege. Mr. Bite UMI AM had a perfect recollection, that the statement alluded to was the reverse of the tone observed by Right Hoe'. Gentleman, in delivering hts seitritents on the Alien fhll. Ile concurred in the great utility which resulttd from the cation of the proceedings of the House ; but to be useful it was necessary they should be accurate. — Hear, hear.)—He had !outwit* reason to com plain of some iiiistatrinetite in the public Prints. Not many days ago he was stated to have uttered a recantation of what lie had previously said, re. spelling the conduct of a great Law Officer (we pre% the Lord Chancellor) on the Education of the Poor Bill. Now this was the very reverse of the fact ; fur wind he hid said on the occasion was an affirmation. not a recantation of Ins previous oh servations ; and the allusion was merely to the prac tice of the Court, as distinguished from the cha racter of the indevedual. AFFAIR% OF INDIA. Lord Monprrit asked, whether the Right lion. Gentleman (Mr. Canning), had received all the do monetary re:ative to the war in Indies ; as .11 if he hail, at what time they would be laid before Parliament? Mr. CANNING replied, that many of the docu ments had arrived, and hero printed. The most important (a►per was the Treaty with flolkar, which was uut yet ufT►ri, Ily under consideration. Mr. HowArru asked, whether arrangements had been made for gi►ing elect to the private accounts ? Mr. CANNING answered in the af f irmative. ALIEN BILL. Mr. TIERNEY asked what was the intention of the Not►lr Lord (Castlereagh) with respect to the Alien Bill Lord CASTLEREAGH said, he should on Monday propose to bring in a short Bill to suspend that part of the Scotch law which had been objected to, till the lath of March nest; and that in the ensiling Session the several anomalous circumstances complained of, which erudered it practicable to a denizen not only to be naturalized by • purchase of stuck, but to have a seat in that house, should be brought more immediately under their consideration. Mr. TIERNEY said he would express no opinion one way or another on the Noble Lord's intention, until he made the motion of which he had just given notice. Lord CAaTLEREAGH said, that his measure would not go to make any permatient change in the gene ral chartered privileges of corporate bodies, neither did he mean it should have any retrospective opera tion. The anomaly ought, however, to he remedisd by some comprehensive measure on a future occa sion. At pre►ent, he only ►utant to propose a short Bill until the 45th March. . .

The decision of the House of Commons on Pli aly night, in rejecting the clau•e attaclwri to the Alien Bill by the House of Lords, prevented Mi nisters from carrying into effect their original inten tion of proroguing Parlirinent ou Satural.y. Oftlers had been issuer/ ou Friday for snaking the usual preparations. that the erreniony of prerrogstion might be performed by the PRINCE REGi NT in person, but they were suiresideil ma Sniurilea morn ing, that Ministers might have an opportunity of eoirecting the error they lad already co •tital. For this purpose • Bill will be introdneed this evening into the House of COI iiiii nos, specifically to suspend, till the iStli of March next, the law under which aliens are now peeniitteal to obtain naturalization by narrating 00000 ney us the Batik a f Scotland. This iner.ure, we ore happy so Iriirii I. Lord CAIITLCRLAGfi e II ilechostion ors Saturday, will not hive • reirosiwctive operation. On the policy of the present law, in the present eircum.teuer% of the roinitry, it se. ms ti. us tlsat very little differeore of opinion can exist. Aire hold the privileges of Englishmen is. his laugh an estiont tioll to permit them to ibt Ci.ille • itiorkebable commodity, capable of being Hilnirril by any foreigner by the snare act of pay iog (.sod now to Nu individual) a paltry sum of usnory. This consi derarion, however, is essentially 1.41 us well Goers the policy .4 isa original enoctment, as from the flagrant inju4tice that Mould, iu repealing it, THE BRITI SCI PIES S. • t• .1. N., • t\N\ 1 phinder individuals of a right previously acquired. under its solemn sanction. It is very possible that, in the year 1693. it w. 44 found expedient to 'Whet wealthy lineignera to settle in Scotland, 511(1 . invest their money in the Bank then just established, but the circumstances of the United Kingdom have since that inriod altered, and in no part of it more than in the northern divi sion. A certain advantage was then in view which is now obtained ; a risk was then to be encoun tered where perfect iecurity is now enjoyed ; consequently, as the same reasons do not con tinue to operate, we can see no goo(' pretence for extending to foreigners so great an 'Armitage, where none CAI be expected from them in return. But while we make these observations on the expe diency of repealing the law, we cannot avoid ex pressing our regret that this object was not sought to be obtained without uniting it with the grossest injustice. If the Legirlatnre has committed all oversight, it should no doubt hasten to correct it ; but there is a principle of public right, a regard for moral justice, and a sense of what is due to the public faith of nations, paramount to every other consideration, which should deter the rulers of mankind from violating the property of individuals previously consecrated by the most solemn act of the State. The measure about to he introduced this even ing into the House of Commons being prospective, implies on the part of Ministers a direct acknow. Irdgment of the propriety of these considerations, and consequently a censure upon the clause which they had already endeavoured to force upon Parlia ment. It isstrange how they could have overlooked the difference, even with regard to their own characters, between sue h a measure and one of retrospv live operation ; but it is still more unaccountable how they can plead ignorance of this law of naturali zation, in every respect so important, which was originally passed in the year 16435, by the Partin. silent of Scotland, which mutt have been content. plated by those who framed the Act of Union, which was directly noticed and confirmed by the 14th and 34th of the present King, and which must, from its nature, have been well known to every proprietor of Bank Stock in Scotland. It is, indeed, a new doctrine that has been now prwnulged by Lords LIVERPOOL and CASTLEREAGH, that ignorance of a law (viz. theirown ignorance) should neutralize its provisions. We should like to see how Lord ELLLtittottoucti, presiding at the Old Bailey, would receive such a doctrine. Paris Papers of Wednesday and Thursday have arrived at our Office. The intelligence they con tain, immediately connected with France, is by no means interesting. The KING will set •ut for St. Cloud on the 18th. It is also added, with an ap pearance of certuitity,that some of the convicted as sassins of the Strur FUALDES, namely, Bastirle, Jarsion, and (Ward, will immediately undergo their sentence; that the woman Booed has ob tained a respite until the determination of the new proceedings ; and that the capital punishment has, with respect to Bar, been commuted to twenty years' imprisoniuent. But the waist of ititerest, as far as France is immediately concerned, is compen sated by the articles in these Papers under the head of Germany. One of them contains the preamble to the Constitutional Charter of Bavaria, which has been lately published under the authority of th e KING. This very important paper is remarkable for its extreme liberality, grouting to a people, hitherto oppressed by the grossest intolerance and slavery, a " liberty of conscience, with a scrupulous distinction between what belongs to the Stutr, and what to the Church ; liberty of opinion, with restrictions by law against abuse ; an equal right to all natire sub jtcts to every rank is the pnblic service, *nil to all the distinctim.s doe to merit ; equality of laws, and of citizens before the law ; impartiality and promp titude in the administrotiou ..f jt:!.tiee ; equality in the distribution mod payment of Mine:lots ;" and, as A security to the whole, "States•Geurral formed from all ellififel of domiciled citizens." The gift of such a Constitution to Bavaria, we look upon as one of the greatest civil resolutions recorded in history. It imptli Bavaria, quasi per sultans, from the degradation of slavery, to the utmost point to which liberty call lie carried, consistent a ith the safety of a State. What has now been presented to ns is, however, evidently but the outline of a form of goveroment which the iniouter details may very materially moilifi . But such an outline conveys so intinrssrortr of it prevailing spirit a loiclo, though riot operative to the extent pro pooard, must be attentl,tl with excelletot results, atilt puts to shame certain other States, which, in the breast of almost exclu►ive hinny. disg,ritce their professions, by upholding di-inactions among their subjects incotaiistent with justice and c mote sense.
