[AnvxansrmExrd—The indefatigable researches of Dr. Livingstone have suddenly made us acquainted with ono of the happiest people in the world, of whose very existence little a - as hitherto known in civilised Europe generally. In their ailments they never have recourse to cod liver oil, and they are equally independent of physic and the physician, for Dr. Livingston f oun d their staff of life to be the Revalenta Arabica rood, which keeps them perfectly free from disease, " consumption, scrofula, cancer, tire., having been scarcely hoard of, and the smallpox and measles have not been known for 20 years." In England also the Rovalenta Arabica has pro duced a wonderful improvement in the health of the people, removing cough, consumption, asthma, debility, indigestion, (dyspepsia) constipation, nervous, bilious, and liver corn plaints, and restoring the faculty of digestion, and nervous muscular energy to the most enfeebled, as proved by testi monials from the cel,brated Professor of Chemistry Dr. Andrew Ure ; Dr. Shorland ; Dr. Harvey ; Dr. Campbell ; Dr. Gattiker ; Dr. Wurzel.; Dr. Ingram ; Lord Stuart de Decies ; the Dowager Countess of Castlestuart, and 50,600 other well known individuals, whose health has been restored by this useful and economical diet, after all other means of cure had been tried in vain for many years, and all hopes of recovery abandoned. Its °act oa the progress of population is most favourable as exhibited by the Registrar-General,slw..v -ing for London an average of 1,780 weekly births against a mortality of 1,200, leavingaliappy gain of SSO, or nearso per cent. in favour of progress ; a result most cheering to all classes, as it opens a fair prospect that by the more general use of Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food the Europeans will soon enjoy the same freed , m from disease as the West Africans.

The Emperor had but one pistol, which be never tired off, and his followers had two. One of the pistols of one of the Emperor's followers went off by accident, and shot a man in the face, who was shouting " Viva l'Empereur." (Laughter.) The only men who were kill e d were two of the Emperor 's followers, who were shot by gendarmes. He thought a lame excuse bad been put forward for accounting for the publication of the addresses of the " fire eating Colonels," published in the ifontleur. Mr. WARREN said if the hon, member far Finsbury imagined that he was one of those who would enter into topic: of that declamatory character to which he had alluded in discussing a (legation of such magnitude as this, he could sincerely assure him that he was entirely mistaken. He felt too much the responsibility of meddling with a matter of this kind in the present state of public affairs to allow himself t be eind4 influenced, as one of the representatives of that free Legislature, by a disturbing force of that character. He did not intend to follow the example set him by his hon. and learned friend the member for Sheffield in the fervid and brilliant speech which he delivered on the previous evening, by speaking in the strongest possible terms of the Emperor of the French. The few words which he shoull utter would be simply such as he thought it was his duty As a member of the English Legislature and a constitutional lawyer to address to the house with respect to thimearure that had been proposed with all the responsibility of the Queen's Government. The obseivations which he was about to make were his own. He'acted in concert with no one, and be therefore hoped that he should have the credit of acting at least independently on this question. If he could possibly have enpported her Majesty's Minis ters in bringing forward this bill he would have done to ; but on the best consideration that he had been able t give to it he felt it absolutely impossible to do so. His political principles would always urge him to support the Queen's Government, and he frankly acknowledged that the Queen's Government had been called upon to act at a crisis of very great—he noi..ht alrirsst saw, of transceneant delicacy and difficulty. lot be had taken his line as a member of that bouts', and he believed that the b.ll which they had been *eked to sanction would prove utterly inefretual, that it wait derogatory to the national spirit—(hear, Lear) —and that it was (Omitted on a l.bil npon the laws of England as they now stood, not intentienally, but because of a misapprehens'ou of the existing condition of those Wee. And even if that were otherwise, he should venture, with very great respect, to doubt whether this was the ixsct time at which an indept.ndent I , l;islaturl shoul I be called upon t• alter its laws. Every schoolboy knew that our ancestors had said Nolumus laces A uglias mutari, when an attempt was made to force foreivn !awe upon them, and the house ought to pause before it assented on account of a menace from a gnat neighbour ing potentate, to the passing of a bill which would alter a law already deemed by the Legislature to be sufficient. (Cheers ) lie begged to call the attention of Government and of the beige to two passages in our history. In the year 1708 a certain Russian ambassador was arrested in his carriage in London, at the suit of a creditor in London, to whom he owed 505, and convoyed to a common spanginer-house, where be was locked up for the night. Sir William Blackstone, who could not be charged with any want of respect for the Legislature of this country, spoke of the affair in the following terms : " Iu the meantime t' c Czar resented this affront very highly, and demanded that the sheriff of Middlesex and all others con cerned in the arrest should be punished with instant death. But the Queen (to the amazement of that despotic Court) di rected her Secretary to inform him ' that she conk' inflict no punishment upon any, the meanest, of her subjects, unless warrant.'d by the law of the land: and therefore was persuaded that he would not in,ist upon impossibilitic To satisfy, howei.er, the clamour of the foreign Ministers (who made it a common cause), as well as to appease the wrath of Peter, a bill was brought into Parliament, and afterwards passed into a law, to prevent and punish such outrageous inso'ence for the futura. And with a copy of this act, elegantly engrossed and illuminated, accompanied by a letter frem the Queen, an Ambassador Extraordiaary was commissioacd to appear at Moscow, who declared that, though her AI tjesty cluld not inflict such a punishment as wa' required, because of the de fect in that particular of the former established constitutions of her kingdom, yet with the unanimous consent of the Par liament she had caused a new act to be passel, to serve as a law for the future.' This humiliatin: step was accepted as a fall sati faction by the Czar, and the offenders, at his request, were discharged from all farther prosecution." Half a century later, Lord Mansfield, in alluding to the circumstance, said from the judicial bench that the Act passed as an apology and hurnil.ation fr3ol the whole nation, the ambassador masking excuses in a selemn ora tion on presenting a c,,py of it to the Czt-. (Hear.) Now, he should apprehend that the noble lord had so great desire to foll - iw such a precedent, but yet let the noble lord c , nsider that in some point that case tonch• d upon the present. The ol , j-ct of the bi I thus denounced was to dispense with trial by jury, and to enable per. tonal pains and penalties to be inflicted upon British subjects at the will of two oat of three ju lges ; but even that atrocious violation of the constitution was not ac companied by one of the ckaracteristics of the present bill, for it did not contitute the offence which it defined a felony. Coming to a later period, the year 1802, there had been a case much more anallgous to the present during the abort peace with France, and some passages which occurred in a despatch of Lord Hawkesbury at the period were very applicable to the present case. At that time upon both sides of the Channel the public press teemed with articles of a most insulting and offensive nature, and in thi s country appeared some o f a mos t violent ch arac t er , professing t ) be emanat i ons o f Frenchmen. At t h at time Napoleon rentation to th e B r i t i s h Government, an d w h a t sa id Lord H a wk es b ury ?Hs said : made a repre- It cannot be denied that some very improper paragraphs have lately appe iced in some of the English newspapers ag tinst the Government of France ; it cannot be denied, like wise, that publications of a still more improper and indecent nature have male their appearance in this country, with the names of foreigners affixed to them. Under these circum stances the French Government would have been warranted in expecting every redress that the laws of this country could afford them ; but as, instead of seeking it in the ordinary co urso, they have thought fit to resort to recrimi nation themselves, or at least to authorise it in others, they could have no right to complain if their subsequent appeal to his Majesty had failed to Koine° the effect that otherwise would have a tended it. Whatev r may have been the nature of the prior injury, they h No, in fatt, taken the law into their owe h nds ; and what is this recrimination and retort ? The paragraphs in the English newspapers, the pub lications to which I have above referred have not appeared under any auth or i ty of the British Government, and are dis avowed and disap. roved of by them but the paragraph in the Moniteur h as appeared f it a paper avowedly official, for which the G overnment are, therefore, c onsid.‘red as respon sible as his Majesty' s G overnment is r esponsible for the eon tmts of the London Gazette. And this retort is not confined to the unauthorised English news a ers or to the other pub lications of whi c h complaint is now made, bit is converted into and made a pretence for a direct attack upon the Govern ment of his Kkjesty. His Majesty feels it beneath his dignity to make any formal complaint on this occasion. .. It is not his Majesty s intention to interfere in the manner in which the people or territories of France should be governed ; but he expects, on the other hand, that the French Govern ment will not interfere in the manner in whicle the government of his dominion s i s conducted, or call for a change in those laws with which hi s people aro perfectly satisfied. " (Hear, bear.) Th at was a precedent which ought to have been borne i n m i nd by the noble lord. (Loud cries of "Hear, hear.") T he noble lord bad stated that 019 existing law was i ncapable of dealing with these mater s —that conspirley t o commit murder was simply a mie demeacour whio'i rendered the offender liable only to fine and to a short period of imprisonment ; bat he would beg to call the attention of the house to a very different estimate , of the law , In the year 1842 the sth or 6 th of Victoria, cap. 51, was rendered necessary in conse quence of a personal attack which was made upon the person of the Queen, and by that Act it was enacted that " Whoeveyer shall wilfully discharge firearms, whether with or without expiosive or destructive materials, at the person of tho Queen, or discharge explosive materials at her, or wilfully strike her with an offensive weapon, or throw say substance at or on the Queen, with intent to injure the per son of the Queen, shall be guilty of a high misdemeanour, and shall be liable to transportation for seven years, or imprison ordered by a judo." ment for three years, hard labour, and wiappin, thrice, if Offccoes so atrocious as those mentioned in the act were only made a misdemeanour, and that act was the wise l egis 1 ati a w of t an o but the noble lord proposed of conspiracy to cool mit murder a Many, sujeeting the p erpetrator to penal .e n o make indignantthe crimep e people e ; servitude for life, or for not less than five years, or to imprisonment with or without hard labour f , ,r any term not exceeding three years. Did the noble 11rd know the distinction between a felony and a misdemeanour when he introduced a measure to c invert that whi c h was at present a misdemeanour iota a felony; Did th e no bl e pains and penalties which the attached tha i n miedemeacours ? the year 1844 occ urred by o ih r d e t hh n eo o a t c o k e m n w o mo w ou nl w d b ra a ewe t the memorable case against Mr. O'Co nne ll an d hi s oom . panions, and in that case Sir It. Peel, when pressed to o wereee r c e t introduce new legislation, uttered words which were well worthy the attention of any Government. He said, "I am resolved to walk in the light of the constitution. If I find the law of the land incapable of dealing effect tuelly with the case I will not hesitate to ask for greater power from the Legisl dere." (Rear.) Ile would nail upon the house to compel the Government to tread in the footsteps of Sir It. Pea and walk in ti,a li;bt ne constitution. Sir lt. Peel relied upon the effiJacy of the common law, and Mr. O'Connell and his companions were prosecuted under an indictment for a conspiracy to excite general discontent and di 4 swisfaction, hatred and contempt against her Majesty's Government and the constitution as by law estahli.hed, to excite die ontent and dissatisfaction in the army, to intimidate the Govern meat so as to sever thermion between Great Britain and Ireland, to excite hatred and distrust of the tribunals of. justice, and usurp the prerogative of the Crown. This' wai the indictole..t a:0a,31 o. ti.at CaS'aglin.t a treaeoa. able c-unipiracy, and when the noh'e v i beAlUt slightingly of fine and imprisonine.nt he seemed to f;aget that where this im , trument of judicial warfare had been applied it had produced aconvictivn before the tr b ina's of Ireland, which sentenced the accosed to a .the of 2,000/., and an imprisonment of 12 calendar mootbe. Here was an in,tance of the efficacy of 'our coin mon law in dealing with cases of great magnitude affecting the vital ins-rests of ads Bing Loin. Why, then, did the noble IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(YESTERDAT.) The LOID CHANCELLOR took hi; seat at 5 o'clock. The Earl of VERULAM presented A petition in favour of an extension of the acts for securing reli gious worbbip. The Eal of MOUNTCASHEL presented a similar petition. Lord BROUGHAM called attention ,to the state of the law with respect to debtor and creditor, and urged the kolas. to take into oonsideration measures for the improvement of the law. Lord CAMPBELL also made a few remarks on the subject, hut they were totally inaudible in the gallery. The LORD CHANCELLOR said the subject alluded to by the two noble lords was one of tX.rOlllO difficulty. The 14w had, in his opinion, been sufficiendy relaxed, as far as the debtor was concerned. On the other hand he was beset with difficulties, and his noble friend bad he believed gone so far as to lay on the table a bill totally abolishing imprisonment for debt. The great diffieu!ty was, how to deal with the debtor—it waeelear he could not be transported. What was wanted was a measure between letting a debtor get off scot free or putting him in prison. If his noble friend could intro duce such a bill he would bs doing a public service. Lord CAMPBELL thought that the machinery for examining the debtor in order to ascertain Ow his debts had been contracted ought to be improved. Atter a few words from Lord WENSLEYDALE, the subject dropped. SANATORY . STATE OF THE ARMY. Lard PANUURE wished to correct an error he bad made last evening. He had stated that Captain Peel was in command of the. Naval Brigade before Sebas topol—the gallanti officer was second in com ma. d.

Mr. LAURIE gave notice that on Thursday he should ask the Under Secr. tary fur War what "tin bad been taken to remedy the great mortality in the army, especially amongst the Foot Guards. THE ORDER OF THE MEDJIDI. Mr. LAURIE asked the Under Secretary for War, when the often promised order of the Medjidi was likely to be distributed to the troops engaged in the Crimea ? Sir J.

Lord PALMERSTON appealed to the hon. gentle- man to postpone his motion tillafter tht,a•ijourned debate on the Conspiracy to Murder Bill. Mr. DUNCOMBE said that, under the circumstance, he thought he should best serve the cause he wished to benefit by acceding to the request, and he accordingly postponed his motion till a future day. Mr. NEWDEGATE objected to the course adopted by the hon. member hr Finsbury. It was inconvenient to hon, members, many of whom bad come Irons a dis tance to attend the debate. (Order, order.)

The adjourned debate on the motion for the intro duction of the Conspiracy to Murder Bill was re sumed. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE interposed to correct a mis apprehension that prevailed that the Emperor of the French had killed a man at Doilupe wiel W I own vi-count represent an indictment for misdemeanour under the common law as totally inadequate to cope with a great exigency, and contend that we mu .t therefore devise a new law to meet a state of things which had not been discovered independently upon our own perception of any actual emergency, but alter our attention bad been very peremptorily called t) it by a foreign potentate. There was one more passage nearer to our own time; to which be invited the serious cmasideration of her Majesty's Go vernment, and particularly of the Home Secretary, because he was about to quote certain weighty words of the right hon. baronet (Sir G. Grey) which are exactly applicable to present circumstances, and which entirely cut from under the noble viscount the ground on which he based this measure. In 1851 the revolutionary excitement of 1848-9 bad not subsided, and the moat dangerous ele ments were then o aected in this country. The attention of the Government was earnestly called to the menacing aspect of affairs by that veteran statesman and lawyer, Lord Lyndhurst, in the upper chamber, and by his right bon. friend the then Recorder for London (Hr. S. Wortley) in that home. Is was then discloael that at that very moment a body was sitting in full conclave in London. calling itse f " The Commit tee of Central European Democracy," and which issued manifestoes for the subversion of the Governments of Central Europe, recommending insurrection against and the extermination of the existing Srvereigna. There was also a "Central National Italian Committee," whose professed object was to keep up a spirit of insurrection in Italy, and who opened loans here, publicly ad rertising them and issuing shares accompanied by ciroulare, which stated their Intention to he to purchase arms and ammu nition of war in order to promote their revolutionary designs. There was also a " Central Democratic European Committee," which issued proclamations, and of which Mazzini and Ledru Rollin were metnhere, ; together with a " Central Hungarian Committee," of which General Klapka was the mainepriog, and which, like all the other confederacies he bad named, put forth inflammatory proclamatione. Oa that occasion Lord Lyndhurst r xpressed himself thus : " It has always been the priaeiple and the practice among us to afford a ready' asylum to persons driven from their .c aintry in i.nnssfineace of their religious or political opinions or conduct. Ido no it the sli,rhteßt degree to trench upon this pthiciVe. It appears to me to L, in perfect accordance with the character of an enlightened, a generona, and a powerful people. But it innq always be remembered that this protection imposes on those who take adv ntage of it a corresponding duty of a grave cha racter—to live among us peaceably, and not make this country the focus of intrigues against foreign States ; above all, not to carry on any proceedings of a. hostile character directed against cmintries with which we are connected by _ . treaties of friendship and alliance. These are principles so clear,.o just, so universally recognised, that it is unnecessary for me to dilate upon them." What sail the right hon. baronet oppoite (Sir G. Grey) then, as now, filling the important (,ilice of Secretary of State for the Home Department—and speaking in answer to the late Recorder of London ! Hie words, which were very remarkable, were as foilowB " I shall not be contradicted by any legal au , ,hority In this house when I say that foreigners enteri.tg into conspiracies in this country, living under the laws of this c tuntry, and en joying their security, and adopting any inea - inre with the view of levying war against any foreign country with which this country is at amity are guilty of an offence at common law, and punishable on conviction by fine anti imprisonment. We shall not hesitate legally and constitutionally to me t any violation of the law. I believe that the powers we possess arc amply sufficient to punlsh by penalties the violation of the law by foreigners, after we hay.. been satisfied that they have really committed themselves in any case in which 1 gal proceedings can be instituted." (Cheers.) If such was the opinion of the right hon. baronet in April, 1351, with what face could he stand before the country now and say that the law on which he relied then as upon a firm staff was now but a bruised reed, which could no longer yield him any sup port (Hear, bear.) No case, therefore, had been made out fur the introduction of this bill. (Cheers.) The despatch communicated by Count Persigny, the more it was looked at, appeared to him to be only the more unsatisfactory ; and when the noble viscount last night informed the house that another communication had been made to our Government by the French Arnbabeador, to the effect that whatever had been done in France was viewed with regret by the Emperor, it would have been more gratifying if he had also pliced that despatch on the table in answer to the challenge of the hon. and learned member for Sheffield. (Hear,hear.) Before that debate proceeded much further it was to be hoped that the noble viscount would favour the house with corms account of the terms of that document. He for one, was curious to know its date. (Hear.) Certain communications might have passed along that rapid and misty medium of communication the electric telegraph, which might infinitely enhance or detract from the value of that second despatch. As an English man, he would like to know whether what bad ep pearedin the Iffoeiteer had been disavowed by the French Government from a sincere feeling of regret that eff,nce should have been given, or whether it had been merely disavowed, after it had served its purpose, in consequence of some adroit communications that ba I been very recently made. No case had been made out for altering the law of England. Not a scintilla cf legal evidence bad been openly adduced bet ire our competent tribunals to prove that there had been any conspiracy in Viis, coun try. For all we knew to the contrary, aftboiter one at the aroused parties bad been here and had left England with a weep mu of an infernal description, it might yet turn out on due inquiry bef .re our judicial authorities that it was all a mistake, and that no such conspiracy as was alleged bed been carried on in this country. But how stood the case in France? Toe first paragraph in Count Wale erski'm despatch of Jan. 20 might well have made the coble viscount and his legal advisers pause. It was to this effect : " The legal proceedi' g which has been commenced in ro g rd to the criminal attempt recently made on the person uf the Fltnporor is taking its course, and we shill shortly arcs tain its definite result ; but there is a point upon which even nosy we cannot entertain any doubt. This fresh attempt, like those which preceded it, has been devised. in Eugland." Teat was not the way in which we proceed in England. We did not alter the law a priori simply because some• body thought he could point out an evil of which nobody el•e had ever dreamt, and which had had no existence ir. practice. But the moment the evil came to light in a legitimate and judicial manna:- we did not hesitate to act. In this case no necessity had been shown for such a measure. Upon the mere supposition that a ca•e might occur in which the existing law would not be sufficient the noble lord rushed pell-mell into the arena with a proposition to increase the punish• ment for the common law offence of conspiracy. The bill which be had intnduced was, In point of fact, based upon two Irish acts. In the year 1796 there was passed an act, the 30th Geo. 111., chap. 27, which, after reciting that it had become necessary in order to deter men from entering into conspiracies to commit murder to increase the punishment for such crimes, enacted that "ail persons convicted of conspiring, confederat ing, or agreeing to murder any person shall be adjudged felons and suffer death." That act was found to be ineffectual, and in 1798 the Irish Legislature passed another,—the 30:h George 111., c 57, which extended the punishment of death to any person proposing, /soli citing, persuading, or endeavouring to do any of the acts against which that penalty had been denounced in the former statute. The bill of the noble viscount contained five sections, the last of which repealed those two acts. The first section provided— " That any person who shall, within the united kingdom of Gre Britain and l• eland, or the islands of Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney, Sark, and Man, cmspire with any other person or ersons being, either within or without the sail united king dom and said i•lanis, to s ommit murder either within or without the dominions of her Majesty, shall bo guilty of felony, and upon being convicted shall bo liable to be sen tenced to penal servitude for life, or for any term not less than five years, or to imprisonment, with or without hard labour, Mr any term not exceeding three years." The second clause extended the same penalties to the offenses included in the second Irish act. Now let the house observe—we had just abandoned transporta'ion as a punishment, and sub4ituted for it penal servitude, vesting in the Secretary of State power to direct where . . the sentence should be carried into effect, either at home or abroad. The first fruit of this application made by the Gnvetninent of the Emperor of the French would be to transform our old common law misdemeanour of conspiracy to murder into a felony punishable by trans portation for life. It was possible that we might after cards receive an intimation from the same quarter that if we had no plane to which we could transport crimi nals, especially political ones, the Emperar had certain dominions in South America—Cayenne, for instance, —where he could accommodate them. He ()fleeted to vesting such powl , ra for ouch reasons even in our own Government, nod preferred to take his stand upon our old common law. By that law the punishment of a mis demeanour was fine and imprisonment at the discretion of the judge who tried the case ; but in this bill there ' was an indication that while greatly extending the guilt and the punishment applicable to it, the Government were anxious to have two strings to their bow. Before concluding he must express his conviction that legisla tion, to be useful, effectual, am.d a precedent for future times, must be free, He entirely repudiated the inter vention of any foreign Power with regard to it. He had always thought that England was taus L - res (glue re (undies; an island cotnple ely and tntirely independent. Suppose the King of Naples bad sent us a vapeuring . application of this sort. He could imagine how the nobi vi: count, full of his ancient martial arlour, woull have received such a commut ieation in a towering pastior, and would have replied with " Pooh ! to be dictated to or coerced by anybody abroad,' pooh I we, are W n b ot t y : then should we yield to such a e demand r w h O e ' n o m n a n ell to one who, in the language appl ed by " a glantio Ireland, was with e g alm ness suppli t ca nt eeu.jnderin at the g ates of the constitution." and dignity tell him tha t noNe le on e arth mere ab peop .t burred the crime of assassination than did we ; that if our institutions were at fault we sh ad ou the stheattu first was vn lontarily to amend them but that j as_hi . mt .:. f' nw n a ccount, sub adece, it would, in ' inn be premature nno , it. There errof (.) Were passages towards the close cunt 1, alew.-.4.1'e despatch which were of a very grave character, and h e wa s greatly relieved when the noble lord told them on the previous day that Count Wale wski had eiiice, in the most unequivocal manner, disclaimed all intention to i n terfere with the asyum which We oil red to distress from all parts of the world, Tile (1€44.t.1a di3 coLtaia ~~ C--' [PRICA 4D. STAMPED 5 13 .1: menacing expressions, and he should have liked to have seen them withdrawn as for formally as they were used. He could not but honour those who were exquisitely sensitive upon this sutjeet, because the asylum which we offered to the victime of misery and persecution had always been a sore point with despotic countries, and he was anxious that we should not in the slightest degree diminish the freedom of the reception which we offered to such persons. He was no enemy to the Government of the noble viscount, but be implored him to consider the position in which he was piecing himself. Ile did not knew what course would be adopted by hon, and right hon. gentlemen either on that or the other tide of the betties, but he hoped the result of the debate would show that they etill retained those independene feelings and that love of England which had led theirc metituents to place them in that distinguished a.ssetub!y. Ile elm hoped that the noble, 1 trd would take wise eouesel vri•lo himself, and would not obstinately adhere to the precipi tate determination which had led him to propose this premature legislation —a legi-lation which, if atrented to, would be but a dead letter, and would afford no '-once dent for futu re ti mes. I le would no' rep-et the painful, the disgusting exp rese i ons which hal a il ed ire, the Monitear, but ho co u ld not abstain front rewinding the house of the words of Elmer I 111., who once said to his Parliament, "I have rec,ired a blow in the face, and all Europe is looking on to see how I beer i'," and then declared war. He did not say that any such case ha arisen here—God forbid ; but the appearance of such documents in the Moniteur was enough to a,renve the self-love and alarm the patriotism of every person in the country, especially when he found them awed npin so suddenly by the Government of her Majesty. He most earnestly supplicated the noble viscount opposite not to let any fal'e pride prevent him yielding to the manly sense of duty which actuated him upon all occasion'. Let him not unneceoserily peril the popularity which he hedehi'herto enjoyed ; but let him, by showing an en lightened deference to the publicly expressed desire of the country through its t free press and its free represen tatives, rattan that plac e in the estimatioa of the people which he was in danger of losing by his present most unwise attempt at legislation. (Carers.) Sir Cr'. GREY.—I hope in the few observations which I thn.l deem it my duty ta address to the house upon tile qee.stegiAeos t-d fr it censiderstion I Aid! not depart 'ruin that calm and temp::rato tee* whiefi -- f am happy to arty has characterised toe discussion of this bill hitherto, and which caunot fail to give weight and authority to whatever decision the hcuee may be pleased to come to. (Sven,) Th.fere- I advert to some of the obj-ctions which have been made •to the motion of my, noble friend at the head of the Goeerumente I may be allowed to express the satisfaction which I feel that, while there has been in Parliament and throughout the country the utmost abhorrence of the crime %filch has lately been attempted against the 1 fe of the Emperor of the French, there has been at the same time a sentiment expressed in entire unison with that which is sincerely professed to be entertained and acted upon by her Ma jesty'e Government, net to infringe in the elightest degree that secret. right of asylum %%Lich it is the proud boast of this country to offer to every puli Mel refugee, of wl atever shade of politicel opkiee, fl.ofi,g freer per secution in the land of his teirth and residence. (Cher re ) Tne hor, and learned geutfenan has alluded to come expressions in tba despatch of Count Walewski which he understands as implying a desire to interfere with right of asylum, and to compel Parliameut to Fase a law for sending refugees out of this country without public trial, without conviction of any ofEnce, on in , re: sus picion, or on grounds of whoa may ba termed moral conviction. If those exerertions bore the meaning attributed to them by the hon. and learned gentleman, I can only say that her :ILjesty's Government has not for one mome t enter:reined any such propo,:ition, or given the slightest e in any qua• ter that such demand wet"' be comp:ied (Ceerr..) I may al , o be, allowed to expree , td, if I may do se without irregularity, the sincere satisfaction with which I have perceived that the distinguished leader in another place of the party whom I see opposite has expressed in his own eloquent la ,guage, weich few can., rive', senti ments in entire accordance with the opiciona pro fessed by 1-er Majesty's Government. (Hear.) The obj,ctians which here been urged to the proposition before the house, as has been well stated by tine hen. and learned member for Sheffield, resolve them eves ir.to two classes, the one directed against the enaetimeuts of the bill itself, and the other and main class against the time when this proposition is made. With reepeet to the hill it.elf, let me recall the attention of the hseese to the CirellragalteeS under which her Majesty . c Government have felt it their duty to introduce it. A crime has been attempted in France which, although the jedicial process may not be yet complete, is a matter of general notoriety, and which no one can d ellot has been attempted to be i committed, whatever doubts may b e entertained—and doubt tnu-t be entertained till after tai 1 acid conviction —with respect to the individuals implicated in it. I regret to say it is equaly certain that that though perpetrated on the soil of France, where its intended victim was sure to he found, has been the result of de signs formed in this country, of measures taken in this cluntry, of plan-concocted hire by those who are er.jeying that right of :my !um which we ere heepy,and proud to afford them so long as they conform to our laws and conductthems:leeein obediee c • to the rules which govern all persons residing in her Majesty's dorniniqns. Under these circumstances our attention was naturally and necessarily called, irrespective of any communica , ron from the French Government, to the state of the law which was appl:csble to conspiracies of this nature. The Lion. And learned gentleman who epeke last has referred to a question which was addressed to me in 1851 by my right hon. friend the member f r Bute, with respect to enirtain ellegeti ens then made r garding the designs and conspiracies of foreign refugees residing in this country, and tie the answer which I gave t) tlet question. That case was wholly different and distinct from the present. It related to revolutionary deigns c n:coa eel here with a view to subvert the existing Gov, rum tits in foreign countries, and to establish forms of government ioore in acc Hance with the opinions of those who proposed to curry the plots iota execution ; and the answer which I 3 gave had no reference whatever to at tempts at the assassination of in tividinehe (Cheers,) I then stated what I now repeat, that I believe our laws are amply sufficient to prevent foreigners residing in this country from taking means in this country from levying, war on other natione, inasmuch as, 111 addition to the common law, there are statutes exiting ley which spe cific penaltie s against those who shall adopt measures here for levying war against any Power in amity with our Sovereign. But what is the case now I There is an attempt, not to subvert a Government, but to destroy the life of an individeal—an attempt which, although providentially not eitecessful —against the person chiefly aimed at, yet unhappily was successful against many innocent people whose lives were sacrificed by those who seem to be utterly regardless of human suffering pro vided they gratify their vindictive feelings against ally one whom they may choose to regard as their enemy. (Hear, hear.) Will any hon. gentleman deny that this is a crime of the greatest airocity? (Loud cheers ) The house ought to recollect, moreover, that we are not seeking to deal with the men who actually perpetrate such crimes, but with the men who in comparative safety plot them in this country—with men who do not risk their own lives in attempting to carry their dosigne into execution, but who instizate and hire assassins to do that which they are too cowardly to undertake themselves---(cheers)—that is the class of per. one against whom we think that additional precau tier' ought to be taken, in order to deter them from commit irg crimes which I believe every living English man abhors and condemns from the bottom of his heart. (Cheers.) Oa booking into the law upon till , : subject . , what did we find 4 Hera let me make ono observation with reference to remarks that have been made in the course of thi , debate as if this question had been settled by a declaration—entitled, I admit, toi. the utmost respect—uttered elsewhere by the Laid Chief Joe tice, to the effect, as has been assumed, that the law in its present state is amply suf'lttient to meet all cases of this kind. (Hear, hear.) Let me first protest against the doctrine—entit fey new in this house —that aey la vyer, however eminent, any Jo !gee, how b, ever high his position or great his learning , is to e taken as an unimpeachable authority as to the sufficiency , of any law to meet the objects whioh it is intended t serve. The judges are the proper persons to determine judicially, after argument, what is the lan of the land, how it can be enforced, and what the penalty which is attachable to any crime ; but I demur altolgettal'itae,,rtt;optahre u u constitutionsl doctrine that they are t u o ti ez ney 0 , any liarnent an opinion with regard to the e c - eit i: on I purpose. law for the accomplishrneut :has toot t a the sees° in which (Cheers.) the Lord Chief Justice madesure hisbonbservations elsewher e, has been attached to but such is the meaning wino them in this house, and therefore I feel bound to pretest against it. It is comp etent to the j udges to determine whether& conspiracy to murder in this country isor is not a misdemeanor, and no one will deny that conspiracy to murder a person in this country is a miederneanour b ale according to common 1 eve. Tee ped gos aro also competent to decide the question whether a c onspiracy by Eut,j,cti of her Majesty to tomeepuntre t o c ommit in a foreign country what according to the law of England would be murder, is a inisdenieenour, and up o n that point likewise no doubt can b e enterta i ne d b y an y one acquainted with nur crimi na l ce d e. Ad vancing a step further, the judges are competent to determine whether a conspiracy by aliens in this c )untry to murder another alien iu a foreign country is a iniedemeancur cppisxbie by cur c;?urt, , , a t e indictable offence at common tee . , subjecting the parties concerted to the same penal ties as if it had been a conspiracy by subjects of her Majesty to murder another of her Majesty's subjects either in this or in a foreign country. Upon that question I understand, from the ordinary sources of inf.ormation, a decided opinion has been expressed elsewhere by the distinguished judge to whom I have already referred, and to that opinion of course I bow with the most reepuctfel deference, although I beiieve I am right in saying that I 'l' r si n tf the eenrre bee ever gone that length, and that there are meet, .nd 7 - etet lice re w ho, before th e op i n i on i n question W 11,3 proneuLima , ten tet- tainted great doubts whether a conspiracy by aliens in this country to murder another alien in a foreign coun try, which is the case tl.:".t. has ae*naily cecerred, was the an c•ffzace puuishalAc by our IF, therefore, _ 3/ ~. , it , • '\,`, • PVT's: judges have pronou n ced what thalami ir, thajli termed th e i r f unct i ons ; an d t h en the fund...t aks : .., arsal a li 'rent have been discharged, andovbatever opiniotsit lii . ,:o l ip: '. /...e . :-4 bait bets pronounced -by lawyerk, howevire:emii,i'' c : - ''' ele eiri i Perliement it the authority to.deterroig la":.4* ! - ', i e . petalties attaching to any. o.ffenca be, in its 9 O r Pialr . eit 4- '! .t)-fi:-.

' ment on conviction. We then find, assuming for s t . moment that there is no uncertainty as to thenature of the clime, that it is a misdemeanour for a foreii ner in this country to couspre, or to incite persoee to pe r . perpetrate, the murder of a person in another country. The law only made that a misdemeanour, and the utmost punishment to which a person on conviction was liable for so atrocious a crime (he hirasell remaining in the country while the crime was being executed, and not subjecting himself to any of the ri'k attending the attempt) is aid atteahing to the offence of a made ! ini anour. The boa. and Ira- ned gentlealan wholantepoke - assumed that the puoishtuent attachinT to a misde meanour is of an indefinite amount. Now, for such an offence the court might impose imprisonment, the ordinary nta.:eimunt of which is the period of two years. But the hon. and learned member for Mulhoret observed that the Court might impose a fine of 2,0001: (11r. Warren—" In that particular case it did.") No d• übt the court might also impose a fine, which would amount to perpetual imprisonment, but my hon. and learned friend must know that whatever might be the discretion left to the court, it would never be exercised to that extent. It is not a course which our courts usually adopt to impose, in addition to imprisonment, a fine utterly beyond the ability of the prisoner to ray. and thereby to convert the sentence of deteution into perpetual imprisonment ; but I am sure the !nmoral le and 1 ' , treed member did not mean to suggest that they would act in so disgraceful a manner in order to render in certain cases the punishment attached to misdemeanour stifficiei t, By the state of the law in England the crime to which the proposed bill re. fcrred was only a misdemeanour, and I believe that the reason for ete -- h a state of the law ie this, that con- spiraey to co ..,..t; .c. steurda-,—some persons inciting others to the cominiesien of the crime, lont.tio far keeping thernelves cafe as to withdraw themselves from the es- trem• penalty of the crime—is so abhorrent*" thetas& kg!

And what did tho Parliement ue I Tile hon. gentleman has alluded to the two Irish acts on the subject, but the law ae already .xeting is not an Irish Act, hut a modern act, passed by the united Parliaments of Great Britain and Ireland. Toe act sieges the fact that such crimes were not u efreqnent, and th it, it - w att necevary nit to lease Vic in to be pun shed by the C 'ill• paratively light penalty a•tachino - to miedemeanotir; and for the security of society in that part of the united kir gr:om (Ireland) the law (1 eth Geore e IV.) renders the crime a capital felony. We found that in England ills cff,nce was only a misdemeanour, and we have thought it right, while mitigating the severity of the Irish law, to increase the severity of the law in Etieland, and to make the offence pubs-}able, not by death, but by penal servitude, the duration of which should be left to the discretion of the court according to the Lots Mid c!rcumstaecze of t! - ,c. case. I cannot think that the mere proposal of a comparatively unimportant bi I cf this kind should be obj tetwoable to the house, and the lion, and learned gentleman seemed impressed with a conviction of the inadequacy of the toinieletattnt by the pre 'tent la v when be was obliged to suppose the instance o f some exceedingly heavy fine. Such being the case, I now come to a more important part of the question, —namely, as to the time when the proposal is made, and hero I roust ray that when the attention of the Government has been salted to a defect in the law of this country, and they are satisfied t! at an im provement con be wale in the lax, the proper time to prepose the changes ti Parliament is c_rtainly when that einviction Las been forced upon their mind.. (Efear, hour.) The hon. and learned gen•le man referred to the expression " nolunios lag's Al/41 1 ;4 rettrgeri, an , l said we were going to change our new without any reference to the usefulness et the change, but b,canse Count Walewski had called attention to the cotat ions fact that this crime was plotted and contrived by persons in this country. With respect to C o u n t Welewaki, I would ask hoe. membera to place them helves in his poriti, u. It attteepta at assassination had been concected in F, /ince, and if an endeavour had been made to pet them into ,xecution in this country, and if we had reason to believe that the law of France was not enffirient to deter by its penalties from the corurnisenia of such crime , , I think the Government of this country would Lave been j-istly blame:Ole if the)' had riot called the attention of the Governmet.t of France to what they belitved to be a defect in the French law, not in the imp:age of menace (and there is no nenace is Count Walewelii's de-patch), but in term fa'rly pointing nut the defer`, and eubtuitting it to the c inaideration of the French Government. So the French Government bad a right to ark us whether, in strict accordance with our ' lave-, legal and constiru•ional checks might not be inn pn.ed on the commi-eion of such crimes, arid in Count WalewFki'e despatch, as we read it, there is or-thing to . deta r us from doing a hat we were convinced onrse lees ought to be done— tamely, to propose this Lid to Par liament, which would rffeet a useful amendment in the law. We have been toll that Lord Hankcelonry held` different language in 1302. New, I ask hon. gentlemen to c mtrast the despatch of th e French Minister of that day with the despatch of Count IValewski. The /termer de-patch was, as Lord Ifavikesbury observed, not couched in very oenciliatory oanguege, but in terms of the most effecsive nature, and contained demands, coupled with menace to this country, calling on the Government I. expel from the country certain persons derciihed by name arid classes, and to re-triot the freedom of the press, • in order that the Government might prevent the insertion of articles eff , nsive to France. What 'tem Lord Hawkesbury's dignified and proper reply I He sail :-- " The French G.Jvorament must have formed an erroneous judgment of the disposition of the Bri ish nation and of the character of its Government, i they have been taught to expect that any representation of a foreign power will cTer induce them to consent to is violation of these rights on which the liberties of the people of this country arc found.' ' One of tboee rights was the freedom of the press, and it was to the laws affteting the press that t. S. passege - referred. The Government of that day refused —al they were bound to refuse—to propose to Parliament at the dictation of a foreign government measures which would fetter and restrict the liberty of the presr. But what did Lord Havrkesbury do ? Did he refuse demands of another kind which were made upon the E iglieh Govern. tnent ? Far from it. At that time an Alien Act wee in exieteece. and the Government esuld not say that the law did not authorise them to dial with fure:go refugees in a different manner from that iu which they were enabled to deal with subjects of the realm, Si long as an alien obeys the laws he is now free to abide in this country ; but at that time an Alen Act was in existence, and though the powers abide it conferred upon the Government acre intended to enable them to maintran the internal tranquility cf :his country, yet, feelin g •th• pressure of the demands made upon teens by France, they mid send out of the kingdoms certain refugees ahoce expulsion had been demanded by the French Minister ; and they further intimated that if c'her refugees lama :flitted acts which, although complained of by the French Government, were not punishable by law, they also world be sent crit of the country. We have no power, thank God ! to make such concessa, ne t o any foreign government. and wo do not ask for any such power. Indeed, we Obould be ashamed of submitting such a pro position to Parliament, fir we know that it went(' be at once repuniated. But Lord Elatekesbury, in refusing to propose to Parliament, at the dictation of the Fiesta Government, any bill .or altering the law with respect to the press, declared the wi linguees of the British Govern. meat to afford to every foreign governmental) the protec tion against Streit offences as were complained of—those offences being itbele, and not assassinations—w hich the principle of the laws and constitution of this connfrj would rdtnit. Now, I a-k whether there is anythina in the c rare° we are pursuing which contrasts unfavourably with the course adopted by Lord Hawkeshury in le02? Is our proposition contrary to the principles of the law and con stitutiee to propose that Parliament should enact that a conspiracy to murder--that the crirue of inciting and in stigeting pereens to commit murder—shall be pithishable, ew e capitally, but by penal servitude Or imprisonment of tar. e years' duration at the discretion of the Court ? I confidently assert that there is nothing in that proposition which is in the slightest degree abhorrent t o the principles of our law and constitution. I have shown that the prate. a l w i ink s , and c t is we do notentirelyn hesitate—con s : oan consonant s wit h the we r b i e P i I i ° u 's. principle' li a b necessity °did(lf i u ourt the exists ists for such a proceeding—to ark Parliament to render a similar law av e li t c h a e bl o e ftnc to the Unit e l d Kingdom % . We den ask Son t o It t deterring n effect, engaging direr will but to impose puuiehment which we h o p e will exercise capital, a ei . prevent b ase an d bl oo dy- m i n d e d m in such conspracies as I have referral to. Allusion has been made to the despatch of Count Walawski with reference to the insertion in the Moniker of certain addresses presented to theEmperorof theFrencb. Now, I am not hero to defend the publication of those add resi , es. They were, I admit, insulting to this nation ; they blue been deeply felt by the people of this country. (Cheers ) Put even if no apology had been made—if no regret had been expressed—for their publication, I should hesitate to agree with those who argue that, although we are convinced an amendment of the law is required, yet on account of the iusertion of these addresses in the Monitore we should abstain from 1 taking that wise, judicicue, and temperate course which, independently of the publication of such addresses, we should have been diTosed to adopt. I think the course of a great nations should be inetevd of showing itself tco sensitive to such CIP2SFOP.S as I have 111111 deli to, even where they are supposed te have received the sanction of the ruler of a country, whether powerful or weak—to hold its own even way of legislation, and that if we are convinced that an amendment of the law is necessary, which will enable us to give a complete and satisfactory answer—or what ought to be a complete and satisfactory answer—to 1 the complaints of foreign States, which will show them that we do not harbour astessine but that we receive upo; lour shot ea refugees of all political opinions, only render_ thorn liable, equally with our own subjects, _to yer eu u c r i intruded to deter them from the commis...l.l,g n' This is, I I an amendment of the law should be ati res ec __ Sire o f an y.
