;Educed this man to go to Weedon barracks. for the purpose he 11411 stated, that the deluded ;odour r dud would have been guilty of high treason?— (Hear, herte./—And yet this is the person whom the Right Flom Gentleman oppo s it e declares tint to have stimulated the people of Ditehy, of Not tingham, of Manchester. of Lee d s. of Birmitighom. o f Liverpool, as short. the issliabinmra wherever he has been. to acts of violence amt outrage !—(flear, hear.)—Welt Oliver goes heck to NOttlOgill.lo, 'dud he appears there to the chancier of a de legate haus London. He nal* on the people in that town, in the saute wily as he had date in other places, to proceed to action—and be sets forth the necessity of emitiling by their cursory, and recovering their rights by physical force. He again states that the people et Leeds, York, Bir. were ready to tine—and lie urges the population, in the strongest terms matt can Use, to engage immediately in 'levying war. On this day. I tell the Right Hon. Gentlemon—on the 26th, of May—Oliver saw Brandreds.—(haw, hear.) —I tell him I hold in my hand, the affidavit of person who was in their company.—(heue„ hear— and a cry of " Yon mention no names" from Mr. Bathurtt.)—l have not mentioned 1111111e11—but tell I I will bring forward the witneiwes when. ever it is necessary.—(hear, hear, hear) —and I think I have what is it confirination of that which lie swears. I have Brandretlea own state ment, made to the Solicitor wham lie employed on his trial, and taken down by that Solicitor, which completely cur roboritirs the matter cnintaineil ice the affidavit. I will read only part of that state. ment—because much of it consists of a complete confession of that, about which no doubt exists, namely, his liaviug been guilty of those illegal acts which no person call attempt to justify. The affidavit sets forth, that Brandreth suet Oliver at the house of a person named Stephens.—(Gear, hear.! —.Sod I will tell the Right Host. Geittleman that Stes;bens was a very importaut person amongst the very hew *ho were engaged in this conspiracy. '!'hey suet at the Three Salmons public-house—. and Brandreth appears to have been most coo. emu(' with Oliver on that occasion. Ile listened most ottentively to what he stated, and asked hiui various questions. Oliver said. in answer to seine of them, dirt he had seen Wooler in prisou— 'hot he was II good kind of fellow—and offered to print the proclatnations which he (Olivet) was to write. Those proclamations would be disseminated throughout Nutiiiighani, Derby. Leeds, York, Biontogliain, &c.' Ile then observed, that he wondered what the people in Nottingham were about —for in Leeds, Birmingham, Liverpool, and many other places, they could hardly be held in.' In reply to this, some of the party said they were aba i n to bring petitions to the foot of the throne.' Oliver !lately rej • ed—• The people of London have now determined to act, and have sent use on a tour through; the a ry, to see that all is going on rightly and lie ineutioned a person whom I have not sunned, relative to an attack on tVeedon Ii 'rooks, soul the quantity of arms that would lie mil, 41 there. Brandreth, in his statement, said, that he attended a meeting at the Three Salmons, at which several other persons were present. It was either on the Whit-Monday or the Mosoloy after. A person was there, who said lie had been about the country—to Manches ter. Lyra., York, &c. and that be was proceeding to London, I,v lisrsniugham. Ile observed, • That they were all ready to rise—and he could raise 70,00 n men by holding up his finger But,' 'llia he, ' Nottingham must be secured. That is the rallying point for the North. If it be sot secur ed, the pasii4e across the Trent strould be stopped.' This I. part of the content* of a statement confi dentially given by Brandreth to his Solicitor, be tote his trial--and was in that individual's hand a:iting. But Oliver was not saddled attic this. Ile guts to Liverpool, sod returns to Nottingham. ou the 7th of June—and holds forth in the saint way. Being pressed to stay there, his answer was, • I would, with pleasure, stay here to raise the standard myself—but it is necessary that I should travel, to support those friends in York, who are num in arms. to uphold the same cause, which you are so slack is. udvanciiig.'—(hear.)—Doriug the whole of this conversation, he was constantly refer ring to the lids or gth of June, as the day appoint ed for the rising. The witness who was present at the former meeting, was also in the rose when this took place—wind he is ready to state on oath the %Thole of these circumstances. ' Ile told us,' bay* • . . That there were panne whet - romentest diem olio orders, iso limn could doubt. But I will ask, rats any unprejudiced mats say, that the coushinati bbbb was so extettaive as to warrant a serioms alarm ? It Was II boar, scattered, letiored. ustregoilatell at tempt. But Oliver, by setting one tows, siguilist ausalier—be se- II lug up the discontent of the North as * reason for exciting 411011011hellt in the Simtb —by telling the ignoraiit and embolism that arms tomtit to be resorted to, and would he made use of in I. foss—del all that lay in his power to create general disialfection. Wea it ,visa. Jerrie!, if, under such cirviteeviaisces, the rte. luded impulace should took to that plipival Airce, which this Goveniment rnisti tttt ary preach ed to them as the only means of redressiiig their grievanvors ? It is sou iniswer to me that per sour were really einliarketl sis those soeieties. I put this case to the House, and I think it sets the question in the fairest point of view. There are, according to the wild calculation of Mr. Ciolsiu how,. 30 or 40.000 persons its this onetmpolle, who live by preying on their fellows , . In the country towns there must necessarily be a portion of persons of similar character. Now, what stein'd we say to that Government who should send miss osionariei amongst those freebooters—those evil cha racters who despoiled their iseiebbourti—to tell them that this was the time to 'blunder the rich— that this was the period to rub with impunit Vet such was die conduct of Gover 1111 l rot. Their ensissary raid, cause Lnusdust has 30 or 40,000 persons disposed to outrage, you iii Leeds, you in Nottingham's, must pursue the same course. ' ‘Vliut had Government done ? They hind *rust a man to those whom distress and waist hail modemd disco's tented, fur the purpose of Meiling them to acts of outrage. Until this day I did slot think ally Go vernment would have been weak enotteli to em ploy any perique on such to mission. The Right Honourable Gentleman who spoke last has told us, that, if Government had any thing to do aid, these transactious, Oliver was at I3erhy, and might have been examined. Yes, lie was ready to pur chase, completely, by •his evidence, that blood money which his missions hail previously earned.— (hear, hear.)—But, why did not the Prisoners call him ? They abstained, fur the best possible 'ravel, because they could not. (heat, hear.)—They were not to phew that they were 'reduced into treasonable sets—they were to prove that they were not guilty of treason. It would have been useful, perhaps, to state to the Crown, that they were seduced by the persons whom Government had sent out. It might be proper, in mitigation of punishment, to say, that they forfeited their blood to the arts of these emissaries—but this was not an argument to be used to a Jury. as a matter of defence. It would trot be endured. The Judge, its mercy to the rimier, would stop him front offering such a statement. The Attorney General'. own witness. Mr. Castle, was placed in a different situation. beiug called on by the Crown, was open to the efforts of the defeudants, who had I exatuissed as to Isis credibility. But the Attorney General bud not called ots Oliver. And this ac counted far the turn which the trials took. Hail Bacon been tried first. Oliver would have been • mast important witness. The Attorney-General knows that Bacon was an important personage these proceeditigs—and he knows equally well, that Oliver could state much of allot &scam did, nu several occasions.— (hear, hear.)—Thin ass the reasod why the master.traitor was not tried first. Had lie been solaced first at the bar, Oliver moist have beets called, and his character would then have been inquired into. I sin surly, if, the course of my speech. I have spoken with any itnproper vehemence. But I think it iv the bounden duty of the Legislature to save the English people from a system winch is entirely hostile to the Con stitution. I uow tell the House, I am prepared to anew—if time be given me fur that 'impose. for some of my wilt's/nee are out of the country—l inn prepared to establish, on the authority of credible witnesses. every fact I have stated—and, when I speak of credible witnesses, I do not allude to such mess as Castle and Oliver !—(hear. hear, .froer else Mististerial Benches.)—Getailemen opposite may, by • majority, &feet this, or any other motion. This 'yawns may do here, but it will not do in the country. They now stand before the country, on their trial—and the cuuutry will return that verdict which their conduct deserves. For my own part, I hope the (louse will not instruct the Cu 11111 l ince to do that, which, from the speech of die (tight floss. Gentleman (Mr. Bathurst), it is clear they are determined tint to do."—(Cheerieg.) Mr. WILISKRFORC6 protested against receiving any reference from the Honourable Member, who had just sat slows), because lie wished to feel himeelf, in the Committee, uisembarraseed by matters nut directly before it. His reason for thinking the House should reject this motion was, because it proceeded altogether on an tine founded assumption. on a misapprehension. of a l ineage iii the Report of the Secret Committee of last veer. It could not fairly he itspeetazil, that the Comnsittee intent to say. that any considerable de gree of this tendency to 01SILIffeCt1011 011 S oCeasiolled by Mr. Oliver. He believed the meaning of the Committee, in alluding to persons eutployed by Gore 11111 l riot, was this :—that distinct information of seditious meetings having been received before Oliver was went to the country, it wuul'l not be el together right to say, dust this isiass's conduct might not have sin:feasts, the evil. Certainly the Commit tee had 110 reason to say Isis conduct had s uch an effect. But, considering the stature orthe in strument, which was always suspected, list Costs mince had merely hinted at a possibility. They did not speak of as y discovery having heels made, of persons employed by the Goversoment, who had fomented three diaturbauces--and. therefore, there was nothing in the Report on which the present motion could be founded. —lie did nut pretend to 1.01%, that some ill ef fects might nut have hero pri;lticeil by this sumo ; he could gave no opinions on that sositieet till he procured snore el idence. Ile thought s with his Hon. Frieisil. that Olive, might have done some mischief—hut he would nut believe all that throe persona had said, who new came fie ward to accuse individual. If - had led it the witness, that the people in the North of Biog. • laud were ready to rise on their uppressots--asid that they could hardly be prevented from appear ing iu arms. That a vast body of people were ready to pour down from Scott:nal, who would overwhelm all before them, and hear down their tyrants. That Sir F. Burdett and Major Cartwright were anxious to aria. That several officers of distinction, whose ' , a.m., it would be improper to mention, would I.sks• soy part that might be given to them. And, that all hr had stated was perfectly true.' Now the Report spoke of delegates lining employed all through the country—as it such were the fact. 1\ one of those delegates had erne:wed—but it doss appear that Oliver, wherever he went, did speak of himself as having visited various places iii the capacity of a delegate.—(hear, hear, Gear.) lis Bt aaaa he was not so successful tot else where. There, when he had endeavoured to entrap persoias, by his statements, into illegal acts, he was disroverril. They told him they knew his plaits—that there was not au 1101101111141 10 1;11 . 111111 lam who %timid join with him—mill they coin. I.lstely washed their hands of I I hope, Sir, the 1 luate will mark this peculiar circum stance, that the very day Oliver was found out— the slay he was convicted of being a spy—the tly lie ceased to be • missionary and tourist— /loin that day public tranquillity was restored.— (Gas, licar.)—There it no doubt that, all through 1115 country, there was much discontent ; and there 0411 be at little, that Mr. Oliver worked on it, for the wor s t p urposes . I t is easy for us, who enjoy, by wails of Our relliill,ll, or time money taken from the public purse, for our services, or no services, every 1 r , lulu r tof life, to talk calmly about the di*. !'etsrs sl the people.

Mr. BENNETT, in explanation, observed, he hail nut expressed himself at sill in frvoor of the employment of such 'instrumento. All l ie 4 ,1,.. erv , t 1 tout it sorb most ilifErult to' be tween repentant sinners and those wh o ;Ac t e d cur lucre. The Summon:GENERAL said, the present no). I tion was fosoided one pu,,lige in tne Report of the Secret Coon bbb ib se of lust year—which pewtage, K. it contented nothing that, if proved, could istithorise a criminal prosecution, the 'tomtits wa-, iii fact, left without any eopport whatever. If it were 11.. - Bested by the Constituter, that a person rtatpl..y rui tl by Government, ioNtroil of lifolio4 out plans, load instigated iudividinsis to do something uot previon-ly thought of—theft he admitted there woull have beets criminality—and it would have been oullicWhit ground on which to found a motion like the present, fur the purpose of learniug what steps hail been taken to bring those persons to justice. But the paw , age, in the Report, he coutended, ultortied no such groom!. The Learned Gentlemen then re ferred to the narrative introduced by Mr. Bennett, and argued that it cone f a WAWA source. lie suspected front whom the Honourable Gentle man procured his information, whets lie men tioned the name of Mitchell, who had been taken up for treasonable practicer, and was lately dif charged from confinement, and Peudrill and Ste phrase, who bad both fled to America. These were hi. sources of information.—(•• No I no !" froot Mr. Beismeti.)—Tite Learned Gent. then proceeded to argue, that it was impossible Oliver could, in the course of a few days, have organised an insurrection in different parts of the cousitty, where Ise was a stranger, fur it appeared that he only remained its the country from the 25th of May to the lit of June. He defended the conduct of the Attorney-General during the trials at Derby, and stated, that Oliver could not be called es a witness by the Crown, because he was eekeseluded in the list delivered to the pri oesieto; but, independent of this, the Attorney- General never intended to cull him. because he knew nothing of the transactions. By the mare live itself it •appeared, that Brandreth only raw Oliver on the 26th of May, and would it be said, that, before that time, he knew 'milting of a rein opirney ? Was it to be supposed that lie end Oli ver funned the pion at this, their first and last tneet iug ? The fact was, and it was given in evidetwe on the triads at Derby. that the conspiracy was goifig on for weeks and weeks before Oliver went to the country, and Brandreth knew of it. That indivi dual was tried first Iwcause he was the chief leader on the occasi9n—and, in justice to the country, he ought to he brought first to condign p u nishment. Sir S. Rout LLY said, the gars was, whether, after the important statements made to the House that night, they could dare, to use the words of his Hon. Frieud, refuse au examination into the cir cumstances ? Ar probably no usnetschnent would be proposed, he el Id vote for the motion. But, he confessed, that lie wished those extraordioury facts to be examined, not by the existing Select Committee, hint by smother. The Learned Gen tleman (the Solicitor-Geuend) had stated that the sources of Ins Hon. Friend's inforruitt• were pollut ed cause he mentioned Mitchell. But Mitchell was urreated oho the 4th of Mae, and all the transactions stated iii the narrative took place since that time. He strongly reprobated the idles. that because his Majesty's Ministers chose to have a man arrested for treasonable practices, and afterwards liberated, • 1 without trial, that therefore he should be downed Imam-thy of credit. He denied the accuracy of the Learned Gentleman's statement, when lie said it appeared, front the trials at Derby, that long before the 2Gth of May, Brand retli was concerned in treasonable designs.-- The fact was, that the interference of Bruudretls had not appeared until the ells of June ; the Law Officers of the Crown were, on the trial, provoked to go into the earlier proceedings, but they dr. dieted the invitation. It had been asked, that al though Government had not called upon Olivet, why had not the Prisoners done so ? But his Hoe, and Learned Friend. the Solicitor-General, kuew and acknowledged that the Prisoners could not call on him ; but he hail asked why, when they were called tip for jtolginetit, dill they not then state, in exteatuati of their offence, that they had been seduced by Oliver ? But did the Solicittir (7witeral mina, to say, that had they dune OM, they would theta obtain mercy ?—(//ear, hear.) — A hotter meaus of attai oo il tg mercy would be to state the direct contrary.—(hear, hear.)
