Dissent from the four remaining Judges. It adverted to the Bill before the. House'for the. better• Regulation of - Courts 'of Justice in Scotland; and stated, that it was of great importance that they should be permitted to lay before the House certain considerations relative to that subject. As he could not, from the form of the Memorial, move that 'it shcrald be now laid upon the table, he wished to re ceive their Lordships' instructions as to the course of proceeding which he should adopt.

MUTINY BILL. ;The House, on the Mdtion of the SCRETAJAY at WAil, having gone into a Committee on the Mu tiny Bill; The SECRETARY al WAR made a few ob servations. on the momentous obje& of the Bill, which. went to preserve the Civil. Power from all possibility of a' military encroachment : he then read some of the. Clauses which he wished to have made part , Of the Bill:—Officers or Soldiers charged with capital offences to be turned'over to the Civil Ma gistrate ; but no Officer to be, ipso faao, cashiered fbr not aiding the 'Civil PoWer; until convicted of such charge before a Court of Justice,—Another 'Clause ' was introduced and agreed to, ena&ing,' that a mark shall be fixed on the bodies of deserters who have been twice guilty of desertion.— .

On the Motion that the Amendments be read a second time, • Lgrd HO WICK rose and said, that before the, Amendments were read, he was anxious to' "advert to what had passed on a former occasion, and 7-iifo.; pose what he flattered himself would be founduf ficient to obviate certain qbje6tions : in,doing this, however, he begged to be understood as not in the. slightest degree swerving from the _opinions he had advanced, and still entertained, of the principle of the Bill itself. • He wished to give Gentlemen, who had started their obje&ions, every possible aCcom modation ; and though he could not see. hoW- the preamble of the Bill in its present form could be productive of the ill consequences that had been so. strongly apprehended, yet he would consent, by omitting the two first lines, to put . that preamble • form less objectionable: at the same time, when he re colleCted-that all the former proceedings of the .two - Houses'of Parliament, relative to the Slave Trade,' had been publiShed in all parts of the West Indies, and there circulated; and especially the very Resolution declar ing 'the trade to be inconsistent with justice, hu manity, and sound policy,, and that those pnbliCa - -; tions were not produCtive of any disturbance'ordis affeaion among the Negroes ; he could' net 'think:.. that if the preamble stood in its original state;Aatii could be productive of the least evil ; this opiiiiOn, however, should yield to his anxiety for • general accommodation on a great question like the present. The amended form of the preamble then proposed . by the Noble Lord excluded the terms " founded in inhumanity," &c. &C. and substituted " for certain special reasons," it is expedient that the Slave Trade ,he abolished. - Mr. HIBBERT said he should reserve what he had, to say for.a future stage of the Bill. , General VYSE required that the original preamble be read. The SPIIAKER reminded the Hon. Metriber,.that the question now before the House was generally, that the Amendments.he read. . General VYSE contended warmly, that the terms used •in the first preamble were but chara6teristic_ of so infamous a trade, and represented in glowin'g -terms the miseries of the wretched vi&ims in a three fold point of view, the circumstances of their cap ture and sale in Africa, those of their passage to the, Colonies, and the manner of their reception on their arrival !there. . , Mr. Rost thought, that the wording of the preamble, as it originally stood, would have been produ&ive of dangerous .consequences .among the Slaves. Mr. WILBERFORCE could not See it in so plarm ing a point of view, but had novobjeaion to the amendment. • Mr. FULLER felt himself much obliged to the Noble Lord for the willingness he had evinced to, wards the general accommodation of this subje& 3: he could not however help adverting to the Unfair' and unhandsome construction that had • been rpui upon his condud in this business . ; lie ditlinot like to see, upon a former night an Honourabie, Member going about the House asking questions' about his estate in the Colonies, the name of it, .and other circumstances, as if it were to dew& him • (Mr. Fuller) in any assertion that -might not be . strictly consonant to the fad ; he sfibuld.scorn to assert any thing which he did not thick he could -substantiate. .He knew what was due from ,every Member to that House,-, and he knew also what was due from a man of honour to hirnself.. He was. no pitiful canter;-confident in the integrity of his intentions, pa superstitious folly hurried him to In-; . terpret every little casualty into a dire visitation of Providence. But had he no internal ..principle - to guide him, - he had to support that `chataiaer a longs line of ancestry bequeathed him. The family weet well known and respeded in 1607, and this.is. 1807, and they are now, as they were then—tit 4 one of them indebted to - any faction orto any Mi nistry for sixpence of the public money ; they were then in prosperity, and now in the fairest way of prospering, if Gentlemen would let them proper —(a laugh). As for himself, he had always voted in that House as a Juror upon oath. He was not endeavouring TO GET IN wiTH- Government—he felt and acted . as an independent man, and was never' an admirer of AFFF,CTED piety. Mr. WILBERFORCE briefly explained. Mr. BARHAM approved of the Amendment hi the preamble proposed by the Noble Lord (Howick) on principles of policy. The impressing upon the minds of thenegroes that it was by-a violation of the laws .of justice and humanity that they came there, would be only filling . their minds with. unavailing regret. 'He• acknowledged that the circulation of the Papers respeEting the Abolition, in the West dies; was rather a singular sort of proceeding. /314 t, at the same time; the negroes must have 'learnt from these that the sentiments concerning the inhu manity, injustice, &c. of the measure, were only those of the minority in this country: He recom mended conciliatory measures, and observed, that . :whatever bad ei - Tefts might result front the mode of proceeding in this business, he had nothing to do with them. He disapproved of. the trade itself; but had Objeaions to the manner of abolishing it, Mr. acKnisoN observed, that the opinions Which he formerly maintained -on this subje4 were much weakened; he ,still, however, doubted thr%. policy of the measure, but at the same time - could, nothelp paying his tribute of approbation to th& moderation of the Noble Lord. General GASCOYNE also approved of the Amend. ment ; but still contended that the measure in the, - first instance, occasion a- separation of inte rests and opinions between this country And the'co lonics, and ultimately occasion an entire separation, unless thelaw passed. in 1807 should be- repealed in 1808. Lord Howrcx proposed a Clause to prevent the late Regulations for Limited Service extending to the Neo.rocs .The Negroes, therefore; ate still to be in listed for life in the first instance, his Majesty having the powerto make such regulations respe6ting theM as he may: hereafter judge prorr. The object of this was to prevent any apprehensions of their becoming chargeable to theislands.—This Clause was received And added to the. Bill. . The Amendment in . the Preamble,, and the Amendments in the Committee, were 'then agreed to, and . the. Bill ordered to be - read 4 third time on Wednesdav next. - .2th.

THE Ekpedition under" the Command of General WniTuocr..E sailed' yesterday from Portsmouth. It is, supposed that they are destined fOr South America. • • SOME more private Letters have been received from the Continent, which _ represent the, success of the Russians as much mare decisive, in the Baffle of .Eylau, than it is stated to have been ,in the official accounts; and it is singular that the German Copy • Of General BENNIGSEN'S Letter to the EMPEROR of RUSSIA represents the loss of the French at 15,000 men, whereas the Translation in the Gazette only states it at 19,000. We are inA diried to, believe that the:..former is the most correa, because Barth BUDEERG, in his Let. ter to the Marquis of DOUGLAS, states the loss , of the French to have been from 12 to 15,000 men., It gives. u 74 great pleasure to. find that the assertion in the French Bulletin, that the Reinforcements un der General VoN Easnt had joined the Russian Army before the Battle ofEylau, is unfounded. He 'diiriot join the Russians till .after the Bth, and as his Corps consisted of near 40,000-men, it would give the Russiano a decided superiority over their .Erfernies: YESTZRDAY. morning Sir HOME POPHAM entered upon his,. defence. • His. Speech, we understand, occupied near four hours in the delivery. It is probable that the Trial will conclude this day. l• PRIVATE accounts from the Continent state, that it has been decreed in France, that if any of the eighty thousand Conscripts who are to be sent to Join the Armies, secret themselves, their relations are to .be taken into custody till they appear. Such se . vere measures must strongly, contribute to excite dis content-and distOrbances. It is stated by the same ac count, that it is declared criminal to receive any Pri vate Letters in France or any part of Germany under French influence, from the Armies. This regula4 tion forcibly cO-operates with all the other Accounts to strengthen the opinion that the French -Atinles are in a very critical if not desperate condition. " THE Bill_ introduced by Lord HO'WICK, and read for the first time on Thursday night, embraces two objects. It is proposed, first, to remove an incon• gruity ,which at present exists between the Military 'Regulations, of this Country and of Ireland, and. 'which might be produdive of great inconvenience and injustice. For this purpose the Bill will give effeEt, in this part of the United Kingdom, to a Sta tute of the-Irish Legislature, enabling Catholics to serve in the Army. Its is, also intended to enlarge • the provisions of that Act, and to enable not only Catholics, but Dissenters of every description, to eta ter into the Naval as• well as the Military Service„' without any restraint on the exercise of their Reli gion, or any Oath but that contained in the Bill.- 75 ; The A6 3 / 4 which was passed by the Parliament dr Ireland enabled Catholics to hold every situation in the Army except that of commander in Chief, Master-General of the Ordnance, and that of a Ge neral on tb le Staff: These disqualifications, which might in various circumstances, and particularly in the latter case, be attended with indignity to the individual anctdisadvantage to the Country ; .will be removed by the Bill which is now submitted to Parliament. The disability to serve in the Army,' which attaches to Catholics in this-Country,- vvot2l4 .subjed per Sons of that description to the penalties. of the LaW, notwithstanding the Mt of the Irish Legislature, even if a Regiment should be dispatched from Ireland .to succour England in a moment of This :absurdity requires an imniediate re rriedy, and will he obviated by the present •Bill.— 'l;e, eitension of this privilege to.the Naval Service .... is consonant with reason and justice ; for if the Ca tholic Can 'be safely trusted to serve and hold in the. Aimy, he cannot be a just and reasonable- plass of. Dissenters, ,objea of suspicion in 'the Navy. permission rank e ,t ' l •y ieir periods of. ser vice The granted to acqui r a: t t h h the rank o in k e time t o which c e h v and talents entitle them, and to exercise their Religion fifsei of n such capacities, is'another judi s provision the 8i11... The pledge whi c h w a s r i given on a former occasion to the people of Ireland,. that the Mt passed by the Irish Legislatnre should be adopted in this Country, is now redeemed, and 1. t he Catholics have proved on the shores of Egypt -and the' Plain of Maida that they are'not unworthy of the confidence reposed in them. As the causes 19f .exclusion no longer continue, the removal of un wessary restraints peonies the diaty of a Onerous 1
