HOUSE OF LORDS, MMtcn The Royal Assent was liven by Cpnunission tu the Na tional Debt Reduction, the lung's Property, and th e M arr i age Act Repeal Bills : the Commissioners were, the LOrin CHAN cELton., the Duke of MortmosEi and the Earl of SHAFTS S. BURL • The Earl of KINGSTON presented a Petition from certain inhabitants of the Borough of Sligo, complaining of the enor. mous tolls which they were obliged to pay, and also of a breach of their charter. BANKRUPT LAW. The LORD CHANCELLOR called to the recollection of the House,the circumstances of his having, shortly .before the conclusion of the List Session of Parliament, laid on their Lord ships' table a Bill fbr the amenendmentof the Bankrupt Law. Since then it had been coneeivett to be , better if the whole of the law on the subject were included in one general Bill, omitting such clauses as might be thought proper to be repealed.. Some doubts existed as to' which House the Bill should originate in, but he pledged himself that such a Bill should be brought in' soon after the recess, either in ono limo° or the other, • Lord LIVERPOOL laid on the table copies of dispatches from therLeid'Lletitenant of Ireland to the Right Hoilourable Robert Peel.. • ' = Lord KINO presented a petition from the traders of Read complaining of the Insolvent D e bto rs ' A ct . FOREIGN AFFAIRS. The Earl of LIVERPOOLsaid, he nuw rose, agreeably. to the intimation whichhe had made on a former occasion, to Ray that unless some circumstances should arise in the interval, which might render it improper, it was his intention on Mon day,the 14th of April,; to lay upon the:table of the House the, papers respecting the riegociations which had been carried on, on the subject of the difFerences which had arisen between France and Spain, which he should acompany with an ex planation of the policy of his Majesty's Government relative thereto. He should not, in doing so, have any view of calling for any opinion of the House upon the subject of the negocia tions, but simply place the papers on the table for their Lord ships' consideration. Earl GREY said, that from what had nosii.been communi. cated by the Noble Earl, and adverting to the intimatio; which he had before given, that his hopes of an amicable adjustment of the difference between France *and. Spain were not extin guished, he (Earl Grey) must now understand that, if not en tirely, those hopes were all but extinguished. Though the mode of proceeding proposed by the Noble Earl appeared fair and proper, yet he must say there appeared some objections to it. The Noble Earl said he would lay the papers on the table, accompanied with an explanation of the policy of his !Majesty's Government, but without any view oftalling for the opinion of the House. He (Earl Grey) could not 4xelitept himself front a certain species of d istrust, naturally apposition to the views of his Majesty's Ministers, and on the present occa. sion he felt a store than ordinary portion of that feeling; for he could not but think that if that had been done at Verona which ought to have been done, and if that tone of language had been assumed (with a determination to support it) which this country ought to have held, we should not at this moment have been in the melancholy and alarming situation that we were. What he apprehended from the mode of proceeding proposed by the Noble Earl was, that he (Earl Grey), and other Noble Lords who thought as he did, might find themselves dilemma, either by their silence (though they might disapprove and dise sent from the Noble Earl ( Liverpool), to give an impression to the public that they approved, or be forced into a premature discussion before they bad considered the papers submitted to them. He hoped, therefore, that the Noble Earl would re consider the matter, and would lay the papers on the table, and adjourn his etatement to a future day, when their L or d. ships, having been in possession of the papers, would be fully competent to make remarks upon it. There was one more re mark that he would make:—ln the state to which things were fast approaching, nothing could be more interesting than a pro per understanding of our existing engagements with foreign powers, and more particularly with France. He had not had to-look minutely into the treaties which had been laid on their Lordship? table, but from the statements which had been made respecting them, lie considered them fair: He hoped and trusted there existed no secret engagements that the public were not in possession of, and Wang such existed, which bad been made at a former period, and under different circumstances, he trusted we were not so far fettered by them to the Government of France as to he obliged to give any support to their imprud ent , nay, he Would say, their iniquitous anti unwarrantable conduct towards Spain. He trusted that if there were such engage. ments, contracted with other views, that they would not be thought binding in the House, or by his Majesty's Gevern- Ment ; and he trusted that his Majesty's Ministers had felt it to be a part of their duty to apprise Foreign Governments that by such engagements this country was in no shape bound.. The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, on the first part of the Noble Earl's observations he would say only a few words. Of the propriety of the proceedings at Verona the House would be best able to judge when the papers were before them, and whether the proper steps had or had not been taken. All he would now request was, that the Noble Lord, the House, and the public, would not prejudge his Majesty's Government, till they saw what had been done by the Noble Person by whom the negotiations at Verona had been conducted on our part. As to the course of proceeding, - he could not conceive that any im proper prejudice could be created by stating the contents of the papers, and what the principles were on which the negociations had been carried on. He could, indeed, sett a great conve niency in that. course to the House, and even to those Noble Lords who might be desirous of !enticing a hostile nugion. Be sides, the House would observe this was not a case where hos tilities had commenced. Hostilities were generally preceded by a Declaration, and the payers then were produced to give validity to the Declaration ; but the case was different here, professing, as we did, a strict neutrality. He trusted the House would see the necessity of the explanation which he proposed to accom. pally the p a pe rs ; .fur, m i ni t h e negoc i at i ons were }tartly conducted at Verona and partly lit Paris end Madrid, there were many connecting links without which it would be impossible for the House or the Public to fo rm a correct judgment, without such explanation were given. If' the explanations he should 'live should not be satisfactory, it would be competent for the Noble Lord to demand further information, and to call the attention of the house to the whole of .the papers, or any part of them. With respect to the engagements of this country with foreign Powers, lie could say there w ere no secret engagements with France which would contraven e t h e p u b lic engagonents , con tained in the treaties which had been laid on the tab of the' House. 'Those engagements were. of a completely negative nature, and-related to the exclusion of the family of the late Ruler of France from the throne of' that country. This country was under no obligation except de e r general engagement to con cert with other Powers measures for preserving the peace Europe. The Noble Earl concluded by moving that the House, at its rising, do adjourn to the 10th of April. The Earl of DARNLEY, before the adjournment, wished to ask the Noble Vieconnt (Melville) whether he had PM' ob jection to there being laid before the House a. Fairer respecting the employment of the navel force, to which an addition of <loop seamen had been voted by the House of Commons ? Lord MELVILLE said, that it would appear by the votes of the other House of Parliament, that there had been an aug. 'mentation of the number of seamen from 21,00 to 25,000 ; but he declined entering into any. discussion iii that House as to the mariner in winch they were to be employed. 'Earl (IRE Y said he was not desi rous o f prolonging; this dis. cussion, but there was one word used by the Noble Earl (Li verpool)of which he iambi be glad to have an explanation.— The Noble Earl said there was not'any secret article which eon travened the engagements of the public realities; what he would alit was this—were there any seetet articles which extended or gave greater force to-those engagements ? The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, he had no hesitation in answering the Noble Lord iii lots own words--that. there was no secret article to extend .or give greeter force.to thit engage. melte which would be found in the papers in the possesion ; of. the .11ouse. • The conversation then dropped, and the House adjOurned to the lUth of April next. ROUSE OF COMMONS, M.thdn W. The House was summoned to hear the Royal A s s e nt .g iven by Commission to several Bills.

In the interim he trust ed that the (kninnittie would be able to decide upon some , ad, vantakeous . measure, which would render it altogether unne..; cessary for him to trouble the'llouse. -- PETITION FROM 'MARY ANN CARMIAE. • . • . . Mr.(JAM presented a petition trom Mary Ann Carlile, now confined in Ilchester•Jail, Ile trusted that the, preju dice which erierally caisted against her name 'would not pre.. atidNwithl , 11 0 would say was a ccitiiipirecy of Certaut camin..., themselves the Society fir the Suppression of Vice. He thought this Society most objectionable in principle; but at present: he should confine himself to the present individual case. She had been convicted on this prosecution ; he had been at grunt p a i ns to ascertain who were the actual prosecutors, and he wished to obtain a list of them, not merely with reference to this partial, hr case ; ; but for the purpose of supplying himself with infor mation on which to bring the general conduct of this Society, as well as that of the Constitutional Association under the no tice of the House. He was of opiniom that the former violin its effects, a Society for the promotion rather than the Suppression of vice ; and he pledged himself to make good his assertion when he brought the subject forward upon a specific When he endeavoured to gets list of the members of the So ciety, in some prospectus stating its objects, he was inform ed that neither of these had been published since the year 1807, and neither of this list nnr of the prospectus could he obtains a sight. Considering the mystery in which the Members; ap-; peered to enwrap themselves and their object, he after much deliberation came to the conclusion that they were an assein bly of infidels, whose design under pretence of prosecuting seep: deal anti other works of controversy, was really to awaken cu. riosity about them, and thus gave them an extended circulation. This, he assured the House, was the opinion to which he came upon a review of the actual effect of their proceedings, • and a consideration of the secrecy which they preserved with re gard to themselves. Ile however, at length, applied to the Secretary of the Society ; and stating that it was his intention to bring their conduct before Parliament, desired to have , a list of the Members. lie was favoured with- a sight of the list ; and, to his great surprise, found it contained, among others, the names of several individuals whom h e k new to b e respectable, and of great private worth, includin g some Itleimo. berg of both Mouses of Parliament ; and he found also that a great many of the Clergy formed a portion of this Society.-- Of these individuals he bad no wish to speak with any disre , spect. He believed, therefore, that with perhaps the Very best intentions, they had been the means of giving the most enten sive circulation to the works they wished to put down . . lie now came to' address himself more particularly to the individual case of the petitioner, who *as indicted at the instance' of this So ciety, for publishing a work called "An Appendix to the Theological• Works of Thomas Paine," which, in substance, called in question the divinity of the Christian Religion.— Be (Mr. II.) in consequence of the prosecution, had read the work, and found nothing in it which was improper in language for a person who entertained Opinions such as those of the au tior. The petitioner, however, was convicted, without hav ing been heard in the whole of her defence. lie had also read the defence; and he must say, that there was an end of controversy if the. interruption of this defence was to be countenanced, The defence consisted•entirely of argument, in support of the opinionS stated in the work ; but it appears that Mr. Justice Best, who tried the case, had interrupted the petitioner before LI out of nearly 101) pages of the defence had been read, and would not suffer her to read the remainder. Ile (Mr. H.) was not aware of any law by which people were to be put down in their defence by Judges, merely because the Christian religion was a part of the law of the land. lie had read many Books of Controversy ; on Deism, Atheism, and other topics ; but he had found no one written in lan fguage so temperate as that of the Defence of Mary Anne Car ile; and lie thought the Judges bad treated her with a seve rity not warranted by the principles of English . justice. Her case ivas equalled only by those which occurred in times when' people were brought to the stake tor expressing their opinions. Ile really thought, that at Ali, lilettent day more of Christian feeling would be ;hewn towlitils:l* than hail been displayed' by the Judges. - The wholetiptierAsllngs had been marked by a misguided seal on the pat kit the prosecutors, which in matters of religious opinion, Ives sure to produce an effect ex actly opposite to that which was intended. The crime with which she was charged scarcely admitted ofdefinition ; and if it were intended to persist in charging persons with this species of blasphemy, he trustedahe Law Officers of the Crown would introduce a Bill ,to define the crime. But such prosecutions were always impolitic; they were precisely like those insti tuted by the Boman Catholics against the Reformers. Ile thought that those who differed from us in opinion should be. visited with a eharitable Christian-like feeling, and not with ,oppression: and tyranny. This young woman was now in it dungeon, under a sentence which amounted to imprison nient for life; and lie would therefore ask the Membert of the Society which prosecuted her, if they could refer himack any part of the New 'Testament, the • foundation of the Chris- . . roan. lleligitm, which recommended, or even tolerated severity to those who tittered-in opinion from its Divine Founder The whole tendency of the Divine Book Yin *the other way; and he (Mr. Hume) called upon the Members Of this Society to extend their professed principles of Christian Charity to those who differed from them in opinion. He should here oh, serve that die book in question had been Originally published in, America, a country f r o m which our owu might draw no onprofitable lesson in matters of legislation, An Act had been passed by the - Assembly of Virginia, declaring that every person might lawfully entertain what religious opinions he pleased, ,without being visited by any legal punishment. The, book, for which Mary Ann Caddo wits punished, was nothing more than the expression of religietic opinions, supported by reasonable argument,' and temperately expressed. Had he been. on the'jnry who tried her, he shoillti not liave taken the ipsi dillt of the Judge. The antho.: city of Sir Matthew Hale was always quoted on Ehese elisions, to show that Christianity was a part of the law of the land ; but the opiniOn of such' a man as Sir Matthew nate was "unworthy to 'be adopted by the country in whiCh he lived. Ile was a Judge who had sentenced several puor people to death on the charge of witchcraft ; and be would ask any than whether the opinion of such a Judge And on such ` subject as the present ought `not to he received with* every possible Caution ? In fact, the crime of blasphemy never had - and he believed never could bb defined ; for it always de. petaled Upon the opinion*. of those who were in power. Ile now mile to the sentence which hadbeen retied atiahis . young, Woman. It was, that she should be iinpnsoned . fbr a year in Dorchester jail, pay a fine - of five hundred pounds to the King, and find securities for her good behavioor for a limited time; herself in 1,0001. and two sureties in a istneller sum. When he considered , the sentence with regard to the person on whom it was pronounced, he could only say that one of the eliargva against King James the Second and for which, ,lie wax.de, throned, was the inflicting demanding of excessive bail. °f A t r tejethle'u4amitiarnelintasif the the petition stated, that the Chief Justice,of, the. Court had declared, last December, tromp. the Bench, that the awarding fines, always paid attention to' the ability, or, supposc-il ability; •of the defendant to pay. Now, ,on pail of the subject he held in his hand an allidavit of Mary ':lVal Cathie, stating that hie had no property whaterek 'but. 114 .wearing appacr; furniture 'enoiigh forfora small "luoom,l ,and :a -few books of little value; that she never ha tf h4d'i property hitt that whieit' she derived front lie: latiadr and that ;he' hail 'no other respectable means of °bride- ing tt subsistence,.

Unless, therefore, it could be shewn, that the Stile ciety had acted .vexatiously or oppressively, in, -bringnig per , sons before the Courts, he: was at a loss to conceive.in- what their conduct could be liable to exception. And lie had not obe served, that in the particular ease before the House, any- vino tion or oppression had beensnaen charged against the -Soe ctety, Having said thus much he should proceed to notice the ease of the petitioner ; but he could not consent to treat it as a distinct case, as the lion. Member wished, and without any re ference whatever to other cues. The case of,the petitioner wits inseperable from that of her brother ; whose sentence bed been much severer than hers.
