' tellectual vigour to hint, but also under a physical disadvantage similar to that to which he had already alluded. On questions relating to the ancient constitutional law of this country, ar.d in which the nistouts and iiroieutions of the former period of our history were involved. he looked upon the authority of die Right lion.

Ile did not believe the Right Hon. lientle.nan maintained that the power of expelling foreigner." was a prerogative of the crown ; it had hers' maintained. however ; but in his (Sir James Mackintosh's) opinion, the argu ments adduced to sustain It were not adequate to the proof of the position. If the present !till were one *high, in the opinion of the Right llonourable Gentleman, should not have passed in 11111 i. was it one that should he enseled in 1824 ? lie would leave to the House to determine in which of these two years the most specious pretexts could be invented for its enactment.

(Cheers.) ' ll'hen this Bill was last discussed, in 181'2, the Right ilmmurable I icntletnan WWI not present; and, as lie was a Al Mister of the Crown, he (Sir J. Mackintosh) interred from his absence a disapprobation of tne Bill. If then, in 11122, he disapproved of it, what was then in the present aspect and condition of continental affairs to convert that disapprobation into approval ? Was the derail of revolution greater, or was it not greater now than then ? I The Right lion. Secretary (Mr. Peel), who proposed this Bill, acconspanieal it with a speech conceived in the most conciliatory tone, and delivered with a most polished and ingratiating address. l'he repeech of the Hight Honourable Gentleman might be well Icharacterized by a figure of the ancient rhetoricians, called Eneeenternno," which literally meant the calling of had things by good names. ( Ilear, hear, hear.) However, die polite circumlocution of the Right Hon. Gentleman resolved itself into the simple idea of absolute power--of absolute power not over a whole nation, but over a comparatively small number of persons ; but still it was absolute power, plain and undisguised. (flew., clear.) In the moral lassitude naturally created by an op position to measures in which he had long been fruitlessly en gaged, it was consolatory to seize on any circumstance which !eight compeneate him for the moot bat unavailing support which he might have given to ethers! measures. It was therefore a consolation to him, in which he would ever delight, that he had con tributed to the mitigation of the severity of the present Bill, and it more than repaid him for all the fatigue he had undergone on this and other occamons, that out of twenty-six thousand person'', lie hail been instrumental in rescuing ten thousand from the yoke of arbitrary power. The mildness of the administration of this power bad been adduced as an argument Mr its continuance. For his part he cherished no pommel enmities, and his political opposition war %In tel toed by private rani .r; but without any personal accusation of the doe want of leniency in the administration of this power, he would ask io what country besides this could exist such a power, without the risk of having it abuses! ? and if its abuse did not frequently occur in this country, much surely was owing to that rigid scrutiny which we have exercised over the conduct of Government. (Hear.) It was, tberetiire, some satisfaction to know, that the intrepid and unwearied opposition which had been given to this Bill in every stage of its progress, was not altogether without effect; and if they did not succeed to the eetent they deserved, their tithes were not at least entirely thrown away; for In candour he was bound to adult, that the omission of the clause alluded to by the Right lion. Gentleman was a material mitigation, and a substantial benefit. The flight Hon. Secretary had also it sorted to another rhetorical figure, which, to avoid using two great words instead of one, tie would explain in simple terms—he had commenced where he ought to have terminated. The Right Honourable Gentleman began by obviating objections to the Bill, instead of stating reasons fur the necessity and policy of its enactment. This was a prepos terous mode of' argument, and the very presumption of objections proved the necessity lie felt that he was under of excusing it. That this Bill wait au alienation float the customs and usages of one anemone was whet he (a lis I. /1.) conteadad las, and It had not been proved that it had been loseonant 05 thillWe The example of four or five acts of power, in thou or five centuries, was not a suf ficient ground on which to justly a Bill ee oppressive as the pre. sent. Acts of power were not the safest guides for legislation. There were ouch precedents for the worst measures. General warrants did not Willa for precedents; they were rarely ye. sorted to before the Revolution ; during the Revolution fre quently, but not often subsequently, until the period that Lord Pardon finally condetuned them. They were also con demned by Lord ('hathatu, who, although he had used them es Secretary of State, yet, as a Peer, afterwards had the man lineal, to avow their oppressive tendency and effect, and aided in the abolition of them. There were also two other cases—ship lllll ney and the dispensing power—these were new acts of power, and claimed as prerogatives of the Crown. Venal advocates, by the aid of unrestrained analogies, and plausible Judges, were found to take upon them the guilt of deciding in their favour. The result wax, that they plunged the two Monarchs, whom they sought to sustain, into an abyss of ruin ; it brought our Charles 1., to the seaffithe and hurled his son, James 11. from the Throne. When in 1792 it was propose d e,Li to introduce the present bill, Ministers hail recourse to opinion or, the express question, a* to whether the right of expelling foreigners was a prerogative' of the Crown ? When such a question was to be referred, it wra natural that the person selected for such reference should be one of no partial bias to popular principles, of learning undisputed, and of that species of learning which gave information on the practice and principles of legislation, &Tooling to the customs and spirit of our ancestors. The profession of the law would recognise, In Sergeant Hill, a character such as lie had sketched. The opinion of that learned person was. " that there existed no general lower in the Crown of expelling foreigners ' • that all prerogatives of the Crown were founded 00 COlllOlOll la ww ; common law was founded on usage; and so far, he could ascertain their usage did not vest such power in the Crown." This was the opinion of an eminent lawyer, when this Bill was introduced, at the rimmiencement of the revolutionary war. But, looking to a remoter period of history. the House would perceive that a special statute was obliged to be enacted for this very purpose. The pe riod to which he referred was the reign of Ilenry the Fifth, who was obliged to apply to Parliament for the enactment of it particu lar statute, to enable hint to expel the subjects of the Ihuke of Brit tany. This, too, Ras at a time when that Monarch had returned victor' fr o m the field of Agincourt; yet, notwithstanding all the poop and splendor of dust glorious achievement, he was Obliged to apply to Parliament to invest him with plower for the purpose lie J (Sir J. 111ackintaih) had specified. bitch was the doctrine of our ancestors, and such the opinion of Sergeant Hill. It was a legal, not a political opinion, " Nuts Will Mr memo." Sergeant (lull was not like him (Sir J. Mackintosh) a liefonner, nor, he believed, even a Whig. The Right lion. Secretary had first spoken of the power as vested in the Crown, snd then, by way of a second edition, amended it by adding the 'superfluous epithet of "effective," as if the very term " power" 11111 not imply and convey efficiency also. He would contend, however, that nu such poyrer existed ; their WeettiVho "rectifileirjudicial eases of its existence • and he paid little regard to any solitary, obsolete, and unjoilicial precedent that might be found slumbering in anti emoted repositories, and that were ransacked aftivonly by lawyers, who sou ght to colt tier the acts of their from wlumi they solicited or ex peeled favour. It had been adduced as an argument in support of this Pill, that it was not likely to he abused ; but he would not accede to a measure which admitted even ofliability ; it shade, not admit even of possibility of ohmic. This was rota IVar Alien Bill. Those who voted for the War Alien Bill might with perfect consistency vote I ageir.st the present. This Rill could not be defended on any pretext t arming out of a state of war; but in a time of perfect peace and tnui. quality it deprived strangers sojourning here frinit the benefit of the Hahne l'orpus, of trial by jury, and of other advameges which Englishmen enjoyed; and the sill of the elinister was the only rule of discretion by which hi• expulsion from the kingdom should or should me be determined upon. To give much a power as this to Government, and to seek to justify it, by saying it was not likely to he abused, was an argument why the House of l'onimoins should invest Ministers with the most arbi. teary power on every subject of legislation. (Hear, hear, hear). If this argument were well founded there would be 1101111: reason Mr apprehending, with Mr. Burke in his letter to the people of Bristol, that Ale. Ilienie's opinion of the tolerableness of arbitrary power, when mildly exercised; wax not wholly groundless, tend it was our ditty to revel the censures that hail been so often bestowed on that abused and injured fiwiresa. the ILuitille, in which the fewness of the captives was the beet proof of the mildness with which arhi_ teary imprisoi 'tit had been exercised in that country.

It was alleged in defence of the Alien Bill, that no compleint had been made ; that the powers given by it to the lio. 1 rerement had not been abused.
