Majesty's legal atitrivert, tiny liee ilitY in rtocuring itiiesses from ehroad. which it tens in the power of GineriArnent to rant. Any conduct of the sort pointed by the clause would not only deserve the condemnation of the country, bet would merit im peachment frnm that Muse. If the Hon. and Le II ill • Gentleman had cast his eyes abroad within beer few days, he would have found ample grounds of reprehension in the conduct of Dowse individtrels telin had assaulted certain foreigners who had landed •it Dover, understanding they were coming as wit. Aries iu the inquiry now unfortunately pending. If there existed any individuals who could so dis. griee themselves by conduct so contrary to every principle of hospitality sisal justice, he thought there was no man hut must reprobate it. and he trusted ne I louse of Commons would not give any sanction to the idea that Government would use any power intruSlell so them for the imposes of obstructing justice; and if this clause was adopted. such, he thought, was the necessary inference which would be drawn. Mr. Scitatere thought the argument of the Noble Lord the most extraordinary he had ever heard, for it came simply to this, that the powers of which the Ministers were now to be divested were so odious and tyrannical, dud it was an insult to them to imagine they would ever exercise them. The clause, as proposed by his Hon. and Learned Friend. was for the purpose of preventing calumny. He (Mr. Scarlet') did not think the Nuble Lord would misuse the powers of the Bill, but he might be stun pected of misusing it, and he did not think, there fore. that the public at large would be quite so well satisfied; and the circumstance to which the Noble Lord had alluded in proper terms of reprehension, was, to his mind, a complete illustration of his (Mr. Scarlett's) argument as to the public sentiment on the subject. As to the other clauses, the Noble Lord said the House had before heard the argu ments upon them ; but there was this difference, that the Bill was now about to expire, and the Noble Lord lead stated no reaeoes whatever for its renewal. Was there. he would ask, no alteration of circumstances in two years ? Were we still expos.-d to the dangerof revolution from foreiguers? During the war lie had understood the Act was passed to prevent the machinations of foreigners attacking their institutions; but now did such (longer,. exist ? All Governments were now legitiniate, all dangers, therefore, from abroad had ceased, sod he thought that each time the Act was proposed to be renewed it was ti cesaary to have a statement of the causes that rendered it necessary ; but the Noble Lord's argument was, make it as odious and tyrannical as you can, as it is only for two years; and in this lie agreed with the Noble Lord, though not for exactly the some reason. What he (Mr. Seeded) was afraid of was tiny, that, after repeated discussions in that House, when the public were tired of hearing argument. urged without producing any ef ect. that the Noble Lord would come down and propose to make the measure permanent. And, indeed, such was his opinion of the Noble Lord's tairsits and eloquence, that I* bad little doubt if he were now to pioneered, he would carry it; go that he esteemed the present limited measure as a proof of the Noble Lord's moderation. He would not trespass on the tune of the House, by entering on the general question, but this much he would state, that, in his opinion, no man, of whatever rank or profession he might be, at all consulted the good of his country by look ing back to the ages of the Tudors, in order to understand the British Constitution. He was con tent to look no further back than that period when the Constitution was settled on its present basis, lie meant from the Revolution downwards, and he could not applaud any one who should revert to the age of the 7th or Stb Henry; and he was satisfied that there was no authority, at least he had never read any, to phew that the Crown ever possessed in time of peace the prerogative of dis posing of the persous of foreigners the same us in lone of war. Mr. WELLESLEY POLE was astonished to hear the Hots. sod Learned Gentleman (Mr. Scowled) say, that the abominable conduct of the rabble who had attacked the foreigners who had landed at Dover was an exemplification of the *tale of public feeling ; fur his part he must say, that he trusted the rabble always would he ag:mist the Ad •stra lion, for in critical times it was much like a proof that Ministers were to the right. Yet that sense lose act of the mob was considered by the Hon. and Learned Gentleman at his main argument. lie considered that it the House agreed to the pro position of the Learned Gentleman (Sir James !Mackintosh) that they thereby held out the Admini stration as being biassed upon a most unfortunete. must critical, and most delicate inquiry, and there fore nut fit to be trusted with the accustomed powers. He sat with great patience—(a and heard the most extraordinary language. sum. yield to rouse a 1111114 of the greatest apathy, alluding (tie said) to what had passed a few slights ago, when he heard his friends ou that bench stig matised as vacillating, weak, wretched, disjointed. and incapable of cuolucting the affairs of the country. Otte Mr. Soulett gave some signal of .diseeirt.l Uid the Honourable mid Learned Gentle .Tlllll mean to say, he had not charged them with .being weak? Mr. SCARLETT—" I did not mccii to disavow that. I certainly did say on a former night that the Administration was weak, vetillatiog, mad dn. jointed. I hope that eves io the warmth of debate aiu incapalde of reflecting unhauilsomely on any iiiilisidual, but I certainly must claim die right of expressing in the strongest terms my sense of the conduct of the Administration of the country." The SPILINEE trusted that Getatknieri would be coma/wed of the incouveuieticy of referring to par ticular expreesimie. Mr. W. laui.E said, he was always ready to bow to the suggesnons of the Chair, but lie hoped be was yi order to soy that it was just as competent for sum to defend the Administreitou with strength and lioldnerie, as it was for the Him. rod Learned Gen- Mall to Wind( in that way. He would riot refer to former nights, fur now the Hon. mud Learned Gen tleman had been pretty bold in hie charges, they were still vacillating. weak, • id disjointed ; but he had nut heard that they wanted eitlwr the confi dence of the Hoene or the public. He would put a case hypotheticelly Suppose one of the great leaders had declared that the question was inn thing lest than whether the Achnimetration should t s r iu or out, and suppose on that question they were healed three to one. he hart hoped that samfithing, might arise to enable him to tooch those Gentlemen. to shew the public that with all their tahri.ts and abilities they had always foikd them, and he trusted in God they always would Itorg4.)-1-1e begged pardon for the diversion he hod made. ond was extremely sorry that he had ugilated the Learned Gentleman ■t all —(4 lane --wilose explanation he was very glad to have got. Mr. SCARLET? begged to say that he had not introduced the circumstance of the violence corn. witted at Dover, and that lie was as incapable of mistaking the cry of the rabble for public opinion. as the votes of the House of Commons for dicta of infallibility. Mr. W. Pots: explained. Mr. Aneacnowns said, if the Gentlemen whc sat on that aide the House were desirous that the world should form an opinion of the abilities, judg ment, and temper of the present Administration front the speech of the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. W. Pole), they could hardly desire to place it on a bet ter footing. The proposition of his Hon. and Learned Friend (Sir J. Mackintosh) deserved a better reception than it had met with from the House and the Noble Lord. He thought there was no person in that House or in the country who possesstal true English feeling, but would concur in the censure parsed on the transaction which took place at Dover, and would hope that all traces of that business could be obliterated. He thought it a pity that some better accommodation should not be provided for those foreigners, than suffering them to roam about the streets of London at midnight, ignorant where to direct their steps. Mr. MARTIN thought it was wrong to wish to change the solemn pledge which the Noble Lord (Castlereagh) had given, and which did him so much hangar (that promise that he would afford every facility for the producing her Majesty's wit nesses), for the inoperative clause now proposed. Sir J. Nlscxmosn congratulated the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. W. Pole) on the generous anima tion, and at the same time that undisturbed sere nity of mind and strict regard to the rules of Par liamentary order with which he had animadverted on the observation of his Hon. and Learned Friend (M'r. Scarlet'.) He asked whether an Administra tion which adopted accusation at one moment. and disclaimed it at the next—who threatened an isidisis dual with prosecution one day, and the next day laid the majesty of Parliament at her feet, by im ploring that individual to forego her just rights. whether that was not a vacillating Administration. The Noble Lord had not given any reply to that part of his argument which regarded foreign wit nesses, where he hod acknowledged that he did not apprehend the ezerci.'e of the power to banish them from this country ; but the true point to attend to was the necessity of removing from the minds of those witnesses that that power would be exerted, and he- would appeal to the House if' that argument was prised facie so absurd as to justify its bring passed over in contemptuous silence. It was either contempt or incapacity to answer. for io fact no answer had been given.— He could not pee what the proceedings at Dover had to do with the present question, for those out rages the law was sufficient as it stood, and need ell not the aid of that House to put the machinery in motion ; but had it not been so, it was strange that call should be made by those who in the last Session refused all inquiry into charges of the most important nature, on the ground that they were cognizable in the ordinary Courts of Justice. Look ingllirough our history, it would always be found that every prerogative of the Crown was guarded. and controlled by law, and now that it was proposed to invest the Crown with a new prerogative, he celled upon them, in conformity with the wisdom of our Constitution, for a security against it. The only way for Ministers to spew that they have no intentiou of abusing the power which they required, was to submit to that curb which would render it impossible for them to abuse it. Some conversation now ensued between Sir J. MacetaTosu and Mr. CANNING ; the latter gen tleman hoisting that the former had been out of order in extending his observations, as he was only entitled to exploits, and not to reply at length. The SPEAKER said that lie hail been somewhat to blame in not reminding the Floe. and Lammed Gentleman that his observations had extended beyond the limits of an explanation, to winch in strictness lie was limited. It was then understood that the three clauses of Sir J. Mackintosh should be disposed of its the first instance. Mr. CANNING said, that it appeared to him that all the argoments had been exhausted long ago, and that as much discussion on this measure had taken place as was n y on the renewal of au existing statute. It being enapitlertql as settled iii the second reading, that the Executive Goveromeut were to have the powers granted by that Bill, the Hon. and Learned Gentleman interposes a clime to prevent abuse.. which if those to whom it was confided were capable of so abusing, they ought to be driven with scorn and detestation from their offices, us unfit to perform the lowest func tions of them. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman (Sir J. Mackintosh) who moved the proposition, pro fessed to have no doubt or suspicion of the Govern ment, but the other Hon. and Learned Gentleman (Mr. Scarlet') did find on the character of the Government the necessity of the enactment. lie would ask that Honourable and Learned Gentle man if he thought the House could pass it with out suggesting a suspicion on the Ministers ? It was right and proper that all the ordinary misuses of power ought to be carefully guarded against, hut there were sortie nhuses so enormous, that the Le gislator of old, who would not enact a law against parricide, had not more reason than the House have to refuse this enactment. But, suppose the clause adopted, what defence would the Ministers have against such a misconstruction as this. which world certainly take place ? It would be said, " The &bloaters are so prone to the abuse of power, that without that clause had passed they would undoubtedly have sent all the Queen's wit nesses out of the country."—(Hear. hear.) —lie preferred. therefore, incurring the suspicion now, only putting in his anis', to the Hon. and Learned Gesitlemau's testimony next year, when the caution would be timid to have been unnecessary. He had hoped that when the time arrived that the • question which had been so itinendly the topic should hare cuese.to something like • jodiettl &robs thai wheis no longer the direct subject of debate, that it would have been absteined from, and not baste been font e nted by anticipating, by coaches and pieces of debate, keeping olive by, such means those frielingi which were peculiarly disqualifying to the House for the task which awaited it. He there fore would not advert to the subject further than tooliserse, that in adopting the Resolution to her Majesty, in catching at the last hope which it held out, he took his share of the blame of vacillatiou. That Resolution did, lie thought, embody the se►ase of the Hover, and in words too which, though per haps not critically expressed, yet when the senti ments were what lie could not but approve of, they would hove been blameable not to have taken that chauce for alio' ig the object which, for so many months, had been the anxious wish of the Admi nistration, and the adoption of that Resolution was a striking proof of their sincerity.—(Hear.)—lf they bed sinned at all, it was by excess of endeavour to avoid the inquiry, and, would to God that excess had been tenfold if the result bad been more fortu nate ! So far from it being a reproach to the Ad ministration that they were driven to that resolu- , non, it would be a consolation to him which he would not forego for any earthly advantage, that that last hope had been tried.—(Hear, tear.) The SPIRICER then put the question on the two first clauses, which were negatived without a divi. won. On the third clause being about to be put— Sir J. MACKINTOSH rose and stated, that his oh. jectinu was not to the words of the Resolution, but he objected to it on constitutional grounds. If the House offered en address tor subject, however high iu rank, still that personage had no responsible ad visers; end it followed, therefore, that the House of Commons might be treated with the greatest in. &gully by sin individual. If they addressed the Crown, the King must have advisers, at►d as against them the House had a remedy. There was not another instance, he believed, of the House of Commons presenting an Address of advice. It was not therefore to the word• of the Resolution that he objected ; he disdained 'Moult criticism, but it was to the principle that his objection went. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman proceeded to answer other objections which hod been urged, which he did with his accustomed ability, but which we regret our limits will nut allow us to de tail. Mr. CANNING thought that sanguine as the How. and Learned Gentleman (Mr. Scarlet!) was of the limitability of the Administration, moil the short duration of it, he must allow they had some reason to believe the clause proposed by the Honourable anti Learned Gentleman (Sir James Mackintosh) had something personal in it. Recurring to the subject of the Resolution present ed to her Majesty, he said it was framed in the same spirit which had all along actuated the Ministers, and they were glad to seize one more chance afford ed by the concurrence of those respectable persons who agreed in the same opinion. Mr. ScAniArr assured the Right Hon. Gentle man he was not sanguine about the dissolution of the Ministry, no man could be less we for he thought they never would dissolve till the Govern ment was dissolved by them.—/Hear./—He had avoided giving any opniiint on the merits of the question which bad been introduced in that debate, and would only say, that as far as his poor abilities went he would see that no injustice was done. He certainly had a strong feeling of compassion, and above all, it feeling that the safety of the country should not be endangered. Mr. DENMAN wail, he had not been in the House at the coinmencement of the debate, but he thought it a great argument against the Alien Bill that such a case could be quoted ; but he had prin cipally risen to protest against the language of the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Ca .. ing), who hail spoke as if the failure of the Resolution had led to the proceedings now adopted. These proceeding• were, he believed, adopted, because that House had no taste to enter into discussion with the Crown, in a case where in their consciences they believed the Crown WAS in the wrong. He thought it a gross dereliction of duty in the House to prude as they did. He would not inquire what would have been the result if a Committee had been appointed to inquire into the green bag charges—those docu ments without authority—but he was satisfied no twenty-une Gentlemen would have volnuttered for the work.—(Hear, hear.) The ATTORNEY-GENERAL deprecated the as suming that the evidence in the green bag sea of no authority ; and as her Majesty Wale presumed to he innocent till trial had, so the charges should not be stigmatised as false till facts would justify it. Mr. J. P. GRANT supported the clause. Sir J. MACKINTOSH explained. After which the question was loudly called for, and the gallery was about to be cleared for a divi sion, but the clause was ultimately negatived with out a division. The House then resolved itself into a Committee, the Bill went through that stage. and the Report was ordered to be received to-morrow. After • few words from Sir J. N6WPORT, the third reading of the Bill was postponed. NEW BARRACKS. . . Mr. CA LCRArr,acise;iiTic torhat is called the Barrack Agreement Bill, ►aid, that it turned out to be meetly a contract for new bartackv, to he built it, the neighbourhood of the Regent's Park. That which claimed the attentiou of the House was the new principle of payment. The troops, four hundred and thirty-seven men, were accommodated in King-street Barracks at 5,400/. per annum ; an annuity to the seine amount was to be granted to the builders of the new barracks. The annuity, which was granted for thirty-one years. according to Dr. Price's 'rubles, was worth upwards of 84,000/. A barrack in the Regent's Perk ought to be a more sightly one than a barrack at Glasgow or Leeds. But in the commies there were charged at the for mer place for building a barrack for 378 men, 13.0044 ; at Leeds. for 348 men, '28,2501. So that in London, for the accommodation of 100 more men, there was to be an additional charge of nearly 60,000/. and in the latter case the builders were to be provirjed with ground for building upon: He had heard that the barracks were actually begun, and that the walla were raised several feet already. The CdANCRLLOR or the ESCHEQUIIia said, that the contract for the annuity must of course be sub. • • the fact am.' provide' • of Goattte, ject to the control of the House ; but it had been thought advisable to cent barracks for the 2d regiment of discipline wit PO excellent, and whose geneal . eltee racier was so unexceptionable. Now the expense., at which they had been quartered, very incommo diously, for many years melt, in. Kitili-etreet, woe 5,4001. a year. Estimates lied been given MO though not called for by public advertisements** it was •disceveriedi hat the cost of building new 1,4., racks would be alsolt 70,0001. which was compitiaat; to be equal to an annuity of 5,4001. The reason why the work could he done so cheaply was, because the contractors were great brick-makers, and would use their own bricks. Undonbtedly if the House thought it an unprofitable bargain, and chose rather to pay the whole sum of that capital, it would be: for them to have the contract revised. But it ere. tainly was an advantageous bargain for the public' compared with the expense which had been for m long a time incurred for the sante object. Sir J. NEWPORT did not like the introduction of such a measure at the close of • Session, and oil • Saturday ; he did not like the project of altering the principl of payment for the erection of these • barracks. The Right . Hon. Gentlemen had ea rimed for his argument two propositions, neither of which the House had determined upon. They had not determined that any henpecks were wanting. is the first place; secondly, they had by no means de. termiued no paying so much money fur tbeus. Ha protested against any Ministers assurninglhit their measures must, of course, be agreeable to Parlor ment, and proceeding without consulting Parliament. But in any case why assume that so touch money must be laid out ? Had it not been shewn that bar. racks had been built in other outs of the country for much less money ? He disliked the mode of paying by annuity ; it was a principle generally acted on in caner where the facility of raising money was supposed to be defective. Let the House observe. too, the datum of the estimate, which was taken at the rate of temporary accons. modation, the premises being loaded with rates, loch rent, and ground-rent—she principle, in short, was one of the moat lavish expenditure for the ob. ject. It was said that the country would have the barracks in perpetuity. Would it hart them less so for paying less for the contract ? Government could have credit, and might bonow money at much lower rate to build them. His greatest ob. jection was to Ministers having adopted the coo. tract, and the works having been ectaally cost• menced before Parliantirm was consulted. The. CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER raid, that if the House disapproved of the contract, it wa• not too late to abandon it, and the works which had been commenced might be applied to some other contract. Mr. WILIAM/3 could not see the vie of a ny new barracks ► when there were already plenty of good ones vacant. He must oppose the grunt, and he thought the House ought to do the same ► con sidering the distre►ses of the times ► sud the flout+ cis' difficulties of the country. Mr. Ewa& disagreed entirely with those who thought new barracks necessary. He was against the general principle of fortifying the country with barracks in every part of it to overawe the tWop:e. Let the House think of the consequences which would result, if the numerous piles of barrack■ should ever be turned into means of attack against the people. He expressed his earliest wish that the country might be kept flour hurrying towards a military despotism, as appeared to hint to be the case at present. Lord PALINERSToN thought there could be no ground of complaint on the score of expense, as the barracks would 'July cost the same sum which list been hitherto paid for very inconvenient ocean. modatiolis, and the barracks would be the property of the country after the annuity was psi(' out. Neither could there be any objection in a constitu tional point of view, as the plan did not contemplate the addition. of a ►ingle soldier to the force gene rally kept in and about London. Mr. GORDuN asked, if it was not possible that they had been paying too much? What was there in 5,4001., a year, to make that the precise sum that ought to be paid, neither more nor less? The House had already voted 85,0001. fur barrack ex penses this year. There was somedmig suspicious in a ineasere brought in sin a Saturday. at the close of a Session. under a commission too, wheu there was no necessity for the presence of 40 Members. He objected to the separation of the military from intercourse with the community by barracks. It was not the system of our ancestors, who always bad objected to it. He hoped Ministers would re-con sider the question, as they hail done a similar one iu 1812, and revoke the contract. Lord BINNING defended the contract. Barracks could not be built in London as cheap as at Glas gow by one-half. _ _ . Mr. W. SMITH did not believe that there was any disposition to render the Government military by constructing barracks, but barrack building had that tendency. Some years ago at Brussels the military committed a number of wauton and atro cious murders. The English newspapers were allowed to lie on the coffee-house tables fun of severe comments upon them, because the Govern ment felt that they had force tannish in the citadel to overawe the people. Sir W. DE CRISPIOMIC said, that since 1793 between eight mud ten millions had been spent iu building barracks. Mr. WiLson did not approve of itch an expense io a time of perfect peace. Mr. MAIBERLY said, that there were barracks empty at Croydon sod Woolwich enough for many more troops than those in question. If DO OWre else would divide the H•iuse, be would do it himself.

The day has at length been appointed by the house of Lords for the commencement of the QUEEN'S trial—for the commencement of that. great and solemn proceeding to which even foreign na tions look with deep interest or vulgar curiosity. but which excites in this country an awful and im pressive sensation of mingled astonishment and op. prehension. The day appointed is Thursday. the 17th of August, on which day Lord LIVERPOOL intimated his intention of moving the secood read ing of the Bill for degrading the QUEEN, and For dissolving the marriage subsisting between her MA. Jure mad her illustrious Consort. The Nnbie Earl alluded to an apparent inconsistency in the conduct of the Queen's law officers, who had, when the subject was first submitted to the spew of Par liament, desired that a delay should be interposed . of not less than eight or ten weeks, to enable her MAJESTY to procure witnesses to refute , the charges alleged ;against her. yet they now demand earnestly and emphatically that not a moment should if p o i. sible be permitted to elapse before art opporto. tiny was granted to her MAJESTY to remove the weight of imputation which has been thrown upon her character. Lord LtezoeooL, however, anis. factorily refuted the charge of inconsistency almost as soon as uttered, for he admitted that the cir cumstances of the case might have altered very considerably, and have fully justified the Qutem's Counsel in pursuing the course which they Mid adopted. Lord LIVERPOOL felt very strongly ! the force of her MAJESTY'S appeal for alt Moue (hate trial. and how impossible it • was for the Ministers of the Crown not to seem at least to ac cede to it. They must of course be prepared to enter upon the question at owe—they cannot . he Oaken by surprise, and they have this decided art isane over the QUEEN, that they an& their secret Committee alone know all the sterols uF the green bor. sod consequently they can regulate their Proceedings in accordance, tint only with this iaer feet knowledge, but with their own eonsenience, white the QUEEN is not only unacquainted with the whole body of criminality imputed to her, sod the tomes and depositions WV* several aren't'', but her MAJESTY 1. woolly imapprised of what particular sod especial circumstances of time and place will be selected loy her autegoorsts, aa the foundation of their charge agents' her. It is -not. however, very difficult to iserceive that notwith standing there advantagte, the 11/ioisters 9( the CtOwn would vithlingly posttigbe to g Mill later day the commeneement of the premed lugs, and that they were not sorry to discover in the eecemary absence of the Judges upoo the several circuits, an unanswerable excuse for deity- Mg the proceediugs evert until thi 17th 9/ test month. This was the only atepamont 04099 d try the Ministers for oat acceding to the Quseara quest fur sit immediate OW; but bit. MAMMY may be well pleased with the ciremisetunce, as tr will insure to her the itstitiroabk advantage of 1
