the advice of Parliament. He had often beard of similar declarations, but they were generally made upon great occasions, when some que.tir , ns of state policy were in agitation ; but it generally happened that in later times they were more Ire. • ettrently made then adhered to. Latterly they had bern told that if that • tax were repealed, ur that runtson carried, the business of Government could not be carried on. But he honoured the Right Honourable Gentlemen for the frankness of his declaration, namely, that if • particular instance of the ititerfereure of the Royal mercy were exer cised, or a deviation from the rigid principle* of stein justice were admitted, he should either *delve the Craven to reject the advice of his Parliament. or withdraw from the public service.—(Oheers.)-- He had been led away from the immediate qurution the observations of the Right Honourable Gen thwart on the subject of precedents. He should cow apply himself to the case before them as briefly as possible. The question, then. whirl' they had to consider was, whether Mr. Host bad soffered a greater pastiebosent the. we. intended? hod he should pas. by the el-terteut invective of the Right Honourable Gentleman reclaims the conduct of Mr. Hunt ; they were seadimelita whale would have done him credit if he were aa Mammy . Geueral addressing the Jury or the Stacie i• segrasaik.• of punishment ; but it appeared to him that they bud no relevancy to te present questioa, nor no other tendency Shan lo intilme the passions of the House, sad prevent them from cooling to that calm and deliberate decision which the nature of the q•eatioa required. It did appear to him that there sever was • peopmiitten of this mature which would encroach leas upss the ;minim". of the Crib.s to the preheat. There was so question as to the de gree of guilt ; so excuses for the conduct of Mr. Haoi— Nlo had been raised (by him at least) upon the jar lire of the judgment, or the severity of the paisiehnieut. The simple question was. whether the pontehmeut exceeded the inteutioa of the anima..? It was • question which, from its very mature, most be of moat rare occurrence, therefore there was no danger of forming • precedrut, no danger of eatroachaseat on the privileges of the Croon by the fre vow, of its repetilioa. The motion originated from the 'Report of • Coalminee appointed to Merit. into the state • Pit lichester gaol. The House of Coutasone appointed that Committee. and therefore could be more regular firm the gear alogy (if he might so call ii) of the ptoreediag.—(Heat, hear )—The Right Hon. Grittiest'su had said that the ease of Ilrhester east had nothing In deserts the mbject. Biel be wins surprised that es individual possessing (a. he knew he did) , Most excellent feelings, could deity the cosseetuo• of Itches. ter gaol with the ease of Mr. Huai. He did sot require geoilemen to forego their prejudice., or give Mr. Hunt the ; credit of suit ring from his moral feelings, or that he would ender, moth atiguirh on account of the eniami.• of other.; be would snow that his torture must proceed from his per. annul fi ant but eves considering it in that point of new, the House must ere the continual mate of appreheesiu• he Teti be in ander the care of a maw who could suffer • woman and In infest child to remain foriy.eight hours. i• a cold room in the winter mown, and without 1re.... (Hear, beere.)—What was the Report of the Commissioaers? They stated that the whole of the g meet of the gaol was one system of • tins and cruelty. The gaol of 110 cheater had been *elected by the ledges as being the best reg. ' s lated, and Melee the twat bemuse gaoler, and that too poll mom else reeonmesdatios of hie Hon. Friend (Mr. Buxtou), 1•110 was sm high an authority upon every *object connected with prisoss. They chose so humane gaoler, they found hima cruel oar; they thought they bad recommended him to • gal with an humane medical attendant. The instances of the reverse were rare, for set profession was dissingaished for the remise of more practical beoevolenee. Rut es if the gaol of Ile ester was doomed to be an exception, they farad an ignorant, impudent, barbs; ous practitioner, whose ab sence was more charitable than his visits, and who perverted the practice of his art into an instrument of torture.—No means remained in the ordinary course of law to obtain re drew, sad It therefore became necessary to apply theroyal seep. Ire, and I• seek for the interference of the attribute of mercy, which was tbe brightest ornameut of the Crown, and the more pa ticularly as it was only to perrtlreel snarl of bore justice. He was aware ofthedtfßeuhy of pleading for obnoxious men. There was a degree of ohlogey 'Herbed to the def. nee, and Ike di feeders were ofirn confoueded with themielees. But they ware the persons that needed deface; it wee through their characters that the dtepeit stabs were always gives to the Mutation of every country. Tyrants were not so short-sighted ae to commence ths ir attacks upon amiable and virtuous men. It was in the person of obnoxious individuals that liberty was attacked, and should t berefore he defended ; and it was of so rowiequence bow oboe:mum that individual might ap pear, ai I .rig as lie seemed to the person who &Glided him So be lug:rime andtr injustice.—(Loud cheers) Mr. C. W. vorNN spoke against the motion. He depre.. cited the idea of posies crusade upon the Learned Judges of the land. If any Member had a legitimate ground of ob jection, it was his dusty to come forward and boldly bring the writer before the House, but the greatest prejudice most ei me from diacuotioss of this description when there w.,' no regular charge wade, and vibes the Learned Personages had no opportunity of making a de fence. He could not agree with those who thought that the crime of Mr. Hunt ranked Enter Iltillolll deitia, for it appeared to him to torch as nearly as pouf. tee the very borders of high teems. He did not perceive from the Report, which he had read allentivi ly, that Mr. Hoot was in a worse condition than any of the rest of the peiisotien.—(Coughing and cries of v Question.") — The Right Hosourable Centimes thee adverted to the exclusive of 111 r. Humes family; coateuded that it was very proper they should be excluded on the grounds of morality: and concluded by reading an extract from Mr. Howes Life, written by binge/elf, in which he stated, that it wee • hoax to suppose he had been treated worse thee the Judges isteaded, for he was ware that But would have had bun tortared if he could. Mr. BUXTON justified his collided la gieing the report he bad doue of the ramiageimeal of Banter gaol, fur at the time be knew it not►ing conW have been better regulated, sad ail the abams bad been detected subsequent to that period. With respect to Mr. Hunt, be cared nut who or *bat he was; he viewed him as a mu suffering the seatence of the law, and from what be had already endured, sad the eosdili.o he was placed in at present, if he were impri,onid t►e whole length of time for which he was isentewted, be would suffer that which was not in the roatem pianos of the Judge, and coasequrutly Injustice.--(Hear.) Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH observed, that he bad ant the slightest intention of mating that his Roo. ?need (Mr. Issluo) had gives say Wag but an accurate stattmeal. Mr. ESTCOURT, as one of the Coastaissiosiers to Milne, bit) the state of I leltester gaol, saw nothing is the coodset of Mr. Hurt that had bees at all improper. Sir F. BURDETT replied. He hoped the House would not be deterred from supporting his motion us account of She ruin - notable vapour of the Right Hun. Gentleness (Mr. Peel).—Fur if the motion were carried, the country would, he loped, still enjoy the advaatige of his services. The Right Hoia. Gentleman had indulged is a good deal of decla **non 'latest Mr. Hunt, but that must be the fate of every mss who en•leavoured to obtain a redress of grievances. The Honourable Baronet the* referred to the case of Sir Missmch Lopes, who bad beer convicted of what had been properly galled a mune of the deepest magnitude 7 .1 b.% Mapplity's Ministers had undertaken, Independent of the (louse of Commons, to remit one half of the sentence of LONDON, THURSDAY. APaIL 25. 1822. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY was prevented, we believe by indisposition. from attending in the House of Common. last night. The Noble Lord's absence induced Sir ROBERT SNAw to postpone to next Wednesday his motion for it repeal of the Irish window tax. Mr. CALCRAFT hinted •t the wisdom of repealing i• into the assessed taxes im posed upon Ireland, and offered reasons so valid in support of his opinion, that we cannot doubt of their making a strong impression in favour of it. Mr. FlusicissoN again referred to the continued high price of malt liquor in the capital, and express ed his intention of proposing • measure to Parlia ment for the purpose of ensuring to the public the enjoyment of the boon which had been granted by the redaction of the malt duty. The unwillingness of the great brewer. to make a proportionate reduc tion in the price of beer, makes us the more ►egret that the *mount of taxation proposed to be reduced was not taken from salt instead of malt. Thy case of llamas' HUNT'S imprisonment was made the subject of a long discussion. Sir FRANCIS Buttoarr moved an Address to the Crown, pray. ing for a remission of what yat remains of his inspri ailment. The motion was energetically opposed by the Ministers, and was pressed to a division. The numbers were—for the motion 84 ; against it 443—majority 139. The vigorous measures pursued by the Govern ment of Ireland seem to have produced some effect iu checking the progress of nightly depredation in the southern counties. Transportation and death, with the active exercise of swords and bayonets, are formidable engines of government, and it must be 'admitted that they have not beau employed spar ingly. The disturbancesio the south of Ireland bore no ordinary character ; they could not be considered as the unconnected acts of individual offenders, neither were they the result of any previous con spiracy ; but such an uniformity of sentiment pre .v►iled throughout the greater part of three popu bins counties, so universal was the sense of suffer ing, and the restless though desperate hope of relief, that a movement having commenced in one district, it was rapidly communicated with similar feelings and principles through the sensitive mass of au entire population. Such events have not been unusual in the history of Ireland, ■nd their causes may be ascertained without much difficulty, and without accompany ing Mr. Goimuuts in his elaborate research so far back as to the period ofSTRONGaow's invasion. The same means have always been employed by every suc cessive Government to restore a momentary tran quillity, and no ;remise is due to the present Ministers beyond that of having required measures of even greater severity than had been ordiusrily used by their predecessors. Such a line of policy evinces no superior skill, no enlarged or enlightened views of government, such as ought to distinguish a Statesman. It is the vulgar, obvious system, such as • Turkish Pacha would adopt if a city or • pro vince intrusted to his control dared to show• symp toms of disobedience. No principle of concilia tion. uo feeling of pity for the sufferings that have goaded the wretched people into acts of violence, tempers the gloomy fierceness of his tyranny; tran quillity is the sole object of his exertions, and with this he would be satisfied, even though it proceeded from desolation and death, Ilow long the quieting effects of the vigorous measures pursued by the Government will be felt is Ireland. it is impossible to foresee. Unless they be followed by measures of a kindlier spirit. the peace of that couu.try will not be of long conti nuance. It is distressing to find that in the south of Ireland the miserable peasautry are threatened with an absolute famine. The Magistrates of the county of Clare have assembled for the pu►pose of making known their apprehensions upon this subject, and of calling the attention of the Government to the means of obviating the immi nent danger that must flow from a stale of total privation. The population of the county of Clare amounts to upwards of 200,000 souls, and notwith standing the fertility ail), soil and the active indus try of the people, so great is the failure of the crop% that the Magistrates calculate the proportion who rated, who can calculate upon the mischiefs that are likely to flow from it ? In our extracts from the Irish Papers will be founds Report of a proceeding at the Special Ses sions of Cork, against • man named ()'Nett.. It is well deserving of the moat serious attention, as it will partially illustrate the mode which unfortu nately but too generally prevails in Ireland of en• forcing the laws. The prisoner had been con fined fur six months in the common gaol of the county under a charge of felony, which, as was well observed by Mr. HODSON, an intelli gent sod upright Magistrate, could not he sub stantiated, iind from which, in the ordinary course of law, he might have been liberated in as many hours. " If," said Mr. HUDSON, " the laws of the land be thus administered by their guardians, who can wonder that Coptaia Kock, or any other imaginary ►edresser of grievances, should have such influence over the minds of an ignorant people ?" We would recommend this case, with Mr. Mu soa's observations, to the particular attention of Mr..tioutautta. The study would help him to a better conclusion concerning the causes of the recent or present disturbances, than if he were to waste his latnpover the mouldy records of STRONG BOW'S invasion. Paris Papers up to Monday last have arrived at our Office. Accounts from Augsburg, of the 15th, notice the arrival of dispatches from Constan tinople at Vienna on the 10111 of this month, and from the seeming mystery that was observed with respect to their contents, an apprehension prevailed so strongly that peace could not be maintained that the A uatridn funds experienced a considerable fall. There is a paragraph from Naples which states, on the authority of a " private letter from Donlon," that the English Government has given peal:6ll;ton to the emissaries of the King of NAPLES to raise troops iu Ireland, for the purpose of supplying the place of the Austrians who are ■hoot to be with drawn. This Trish army is to consist of six regi mentr, of 1,200 men each. So correct is the autho rity of " private letters !" The French Chamber of Deputies adjourned on Saturday indefinitely. The Session will be closed by a Speech from the Throne so soon as the Law of the Budget shill have received the sanction of the Cheinlier of Peers anal the Royal Assent. The funds do not seem to have experienced any decline in consequence of tie warlike rumours from Germany. which may shew the degree of credit they have obtained in Paris. The Five per Cents. closed ou Saturday at 87f. 50c.; Bank Stock opened at 1.585 f. and rose in the course of the day to 1,587 f. 50 c. It sunk again to 1,586 f. 50 e. at which it closed.

Last night the Castle Spectre was performed at this theatre, in which Mr. KEAN Inutairsed the character of Osmand.—thatoad is • villain of the blackest character, in whose corrupt heart base ness, treachery, counterfeited love, and every spe cies of dissimulation find is kindred soil. To se compltsh his inignitaus purposes he would wade through seas of blood. In this description, the affinity to the character of Richard is appa rent. It must then naturally he expected that Mr. KLAN win successful. In the description of his horrid dreams, when he rushes from his couch into the arms of his slaves, and depicts the dreadful clientsl torture he endured from the hideous spectre which appeared to him, he pro duced the most astonishing effect : and throughout the entire performance he depicted the dark character of the villain Osmond, who possessed all the bud qualities of human nature, without one single redeeming virtue, with the utmost fidelity. Miss Gainiattt played Angela with considerable judgment. COVENT-CIAIDEN. Last night the comedy of The Rivals was per. formed to a crowded mid fashionable audience. The cast is such., to excite the most unqualified satisfaction, and no scene of the play is marred by the slightest degree of failure in the performance. The part of Fighting Rob, in the hands of Mr. LISTON, was of itself sufficient to excite mirth and good humour ; those must be made of' stern stuff, indeed, who could resist the laughable effect of the duel scene.
