Member of that House, and of preventing him froth expressing any opinion which he thight think p:oper upon the statements of the Honour able Gentleman, or upon any other subject that might co;--:e befarehini. lietrusted.tt the pre sent diScus&ion-Would contribute to cozY:nee the House of the inestimable value of public trnn quility, and of the necessity of gunding -against the..recurrenee of such scenes as had recently.taken place in Ireland, and, at no very remote period, even in this .country. If there was any fault in the propo.cd measure, it was that it, did not go far enough. He had studied the character of the existing diSturbances very closely, and he was con vinced that whatever share the depressiom of ma nufactures and the scarcity of corn might have in their origin, .there was '. at the. bottom of the,m a spirit of disaffection and of discontent, a revOlu tionary principle which availed itself of the tem porary irritation of a certain deluded - and ignorant people, in order to accomplish its own mischievous objects. Mr. -ThrroniNsow, in explanation, disclaimed any disrespectful intention towards the Hon. Gentle Man opposite, or the House ; but the Hon. Gentleman hail thought proper not only positive ly to contradict one 'fact which he had.stated, but to intimate that it,was probable his other facts r. - ere equally unfounded., Mr. M.. FITZGERAD' denied, that his Hon. Friend had contradicted the lion. Gentleman's fact. His Hon. Friend had admitted, the. fact ; but he had shewn that the Hon. Gentleman bad omitted cireumstances on which the Whole cha racter of the transaction depended. Mr, FULLER—". Sir, one word with respect to. surgery; when we are told of dead bodies welter ing in their blood, Vhen'you know all circulation is stopped, it is too ridiculous." The -motion was then put and agreed to with-, out a division. - .1.qr._1-1-u,TcruNsox - reprobated the unnecessary indiscretion of the Noble Lord, in making the statements, which he had clone with respect to the conduct of the Irish nnent, and declared that:every- Irishman whoheard him would be dis . gr . ced if he did not contradict the . Noble Lord's statements. For himself, he was prepared to give them the most distinct and ,unqualified contradic- . tion. He was to strengthen the arm of the Executive Government for, the purpoSe of preserving the peace of the country ; and he ad mitted that the proposed measure did not appear to be one of /great severity ; but he deprecated any disposition. on the part of the House and the country to confide in the Noble -Lord.— The Noble Lord had aserted that torture had not been. sanctioned by the Irish Government. He (Mr. H.) bad laid the mi4Ortune of being ill Dublin during the greater part of the Rebellion of 17:;, 1 • - , and he had . there witnessed the 'greatest aq-ociticssorn - mitted by persons '.of high rank and low rank, commissioned by Government, and under the :•ery eye of Government. When an armed yeoman in ,Dublin, end on, guard. in the Four Courts, he bad prevailed upon the Captain of the Girard to turn out of -that *building a person of rank, who wished flogging to be there in flicted on an individual from whom be was desir ous of extracting confession by torture. A ser vant of the Lgrd Mayor of Dublin, hyd been pu- • nisbed on several successive days in the guard-house of that city, and hip bleeding body exhibited to the public. Dining the rebellion,- two persons who bad suffered torture were dragged into .the lower Castle-yard, and their dead bodies, weltering in bliood, exhibited to all -oho were anxious to see So horrid a spectacle. He should not have men tioned these circumstances, had it not been for the Noble Lord's declaration of innocence-- Although most hostile to such practices, he bad exerted himself to the utmost, ~and-had exposed himself to much personal danger, in order to sup press the rebellion. He by no means accused Lord'Camden of authorising the coinmission of those atrocities which he had described. But it w4s generally believed that Lord Camden left Ireland in disgust, on finding that persons high in, the Government permitted those atrocities to be perpetrated. After a variety of similar obser vations, the 'Honourable Gentleman concltided by declaring, that he should look with jealousy at the proposed measure, and by advising as the best means of tranquilizing the country, strict econo my in the public expenditure, and peace with France, whenever that object could be obtained with honour. , , - Lord CASTLEREAO immediately brought in the Bill, which was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Monday, and (at the suggestion of Mr. Whitbread) to be, printed. - The Committee on the Framework Kittersll, was . .after some conversation revived, and the Re port ordered to be taken into further- considera • tion on Monday next. Mr. SIIiRIDAN postponed his intended motion relative to the case of. Mr. St. John Mason, to Ti'esday. - Lord CASTLEREAGH obtained leave, and brought in a Bil, to alter some Acts, and repeal others on the subject of - Religious Worship. He stated, that no practical inconvenience wasielt _Under the -Toleration Act as it existed ; but some late deci sions having produced a doubt in the minds of some, as to the...extent of its operation, the Bill was intended to place the Dissenters on the same practical footing as before. After a few words from Mr. W. SNIIT}I, the Bill was read a first time, and ordered to .be read a second time on Monday. ESCAPE OF FRENCH PRISONERS. Lord CASTLEREAGA gave notice, that he would move • on Monday, fOr leave to bring in a Bill, to make the offence of aiding the escape of French prisoners a felony. The other Orders of - the Day were then dis posed of, and the House adjourned to 111unday. Lord CASTLERgAGH. once more said, that he had never denied• that torture had taken place, but that all he had asserted x`Vas, that it did not take place under the sanctio of the Irish GO vernment. The ilebellion threw the whole ciann try into confusion, and it was impossible that the Government could be considered reponsible' for all that happened in consequence. Mr. W. SMITH did not think that the Irish Government was sufficiently justified by 'the de-. claration that the enormities alluded to did not take place under their sanction. If he thought it possible that t-he present measure should be fol lowed up by Martial Law, and Martial Law by such-scenes as those which bad been exhibited in Ireland, he vowed to God. that he did not. know •apy state of things which would indtice him to concur in the . first step of such a, ctiursc of horror. - MAILS.

Omni= 1 pr. • Mr. CROKER, remarked, that an Hon. Gentle man opposite (Mr. Hutchinson) had adduced a number of . facts to prove the cruelties which • existed in Ireland during the late rebellion.' Of one of those facts he happened to have personal knowledge, and the manner in which the Hon. Gentleman had described it, induced him to sus 7 . pea -that the other facts stated by the Hon. Gen tleman might be as incorrectly detailed. The Honourable Gentleman had said, that the dead bodies of two men wholad. been tortured were exhibited in the Lower castle Yard weltering in blood. It chanded thathe (Mr. C.) was on duty-as a private volunteer at that place, at that time.. was certainly true that two dead bodies were so exhibited ; but the Hon. Gentleman had omitted to state that they were the bodies of two rebel leaders who had been-actually killed in an action with the King's troops, and being unknown, were .exhibited 'in order to . discover who they were. If other .Honourable Gentlemen knew as vach about the Honourable, Gentleman's • other facti as be happened to kndw . about that indivi dual fact, the probability was that they woUIJ appear to be, equally mis-stated. MARTIN (of Galway) .admitted that ,many horrid atrocities had been committed. in Ireland during the, rebellion ; but ascribed their coati nuande to the conduct of the Parliament rather, than to that of the Government of 'file country. Feeling that some- measure was necessary, at the present moment, to strengthen the hands of the kagistraey, he should support the motion of the Gble Lord. , _ , Mr.HUTCHINspy, adverting to what had fallen from the Secretary of the Admiralty,. re-asSerted the truth of all his former. allegations, and ob served, that the ficm. Gentleman bad better take. ci:re how he ventured to contradict any of his statements.-4A loud cry of Order !) Mr. RYDgR commented on the inconsistency of the Hon. Gentleman, who having begun his speech with a direct contradiction of all that his Noble Friend had said, nevertheless thought proper, when corvected in one of his alleged facts bi bis Hon. Friend behind him, to Assume a style and manner, and to throw out a sort of threat or menace, of a. nature wholly unjustifiable and unparliamentary. What the Hon. Gent. 'proposed by ding this, he knew not; but he was persuaded that it would not have the effect of intimidating either his Hon. Friend, or his Noble Friend, -or himself, or any THE SIN. ii9LEM QUIS DICLRE FAI.SCM AIiDEAT ? • LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY 11, 1812. This morning an Anil°lt Mail arrived. It does not, as we expected it would, bring an account of the commencement of hostilities.—lndeed we learn from good _authority, that no blow had been struck in , the North, so late as the' 19th 'ult. The following are the only articles in the Mail, which are worth extracting : GOTTENBURGH, JUNE 30 —Letters from Pe tersburg and Wilna continue to state, that hos tilities were daily expected to take place on the banks of the Niemen. His Royal Highness the 'CROWN PRINCE has signified his, intention of being here between the 12th and 13th July, for the purpose of paying his respects to the British Admiral. BERLIN, JUNE 20.—0 n the 14th inst. his Ma jesty .the Emperor NAPOLEON revi;vved on tire plain of Friedland the part of the army assembled upon that point. The . Duke of BASSANO has received ay present from our King ten of the finest horses in his stables. Our - Gazette says, that all comnranicStion be tween the Grand Duchy of Warsaw'and Russia has -been prohibited. Just 10.—Lately several large trans ,- ports -of horses have left this place for the army of observation in Galacia. Several young Phy sicians and Surgeons have also been enrolled, and sent to this army. LA. CAOTAT, JuNL 2.—Yesterday at 2 o'clock in the morning, 15_ of the enemy's ships, two fri gates, and 3 corvettes, which were cruizing before Crotat, put out sixty boats filled with troops, and steered. towards this port ; a lively and well supported fire from' the batteries forced them to retire, and the boats regained their vessels. . At break of day, it was observed they were still at sea, and that the squadron directed their Course upon Isle Vert, situated about 1000 toises from Crotat. About 7 in the morning, nine ships, two frigates, and two corvettes, were in shcirt cannon shot . distance of it, and Opened. their fire - upon the island, 'b.:tteries, and fort, in order to protect the disenrharkation„. Scarcely had the enemy landed when -they were attacked by detachments of the marine artillery, - and the Ist regiment of the line. The affair was but of short durations on the first shock they re tired under the fire of the suadron, - and onlyite mained a sufficient timeon shore to carry off their killed and wounded, who left the shore iz-,ldated with blood. The Lieutenant of Artillery, Guy, who commanded that force, received two shots at the momenthe.was.advanch)g upon the enemy with' the bayonet. Three soldiers of the Ist Re giment have also been wounded, but not mortally. We can only form an idea of the num ber Of, English who disembarked, by the sixty boats that conveyed them. Lieutenant CILIMPEAUX, Commander of the corvette Victo rieux, who was at Crotat,' had provided for the embarkation of 800 men from the garrisOn, and directed them towards Vert Isle; but the defeat of the enemy was so prompt, that they could not arrive till after the., affair. • . . Letters from Riga Lre said to confirm the ac counts of the restoratior, of peace between Russia and the Porte. An account has been received that the following, ships were to . sail fromAladeiia on the evening of the 12t.h . June last,-viz. Thomas Grenville, Princess Charlotte of Wales, Broxburne bury, Lord Duncan, Sir Godfrey Webster, Diana, and Ju liana ; also of the arrival at Madeira, on the 19th June, of the ships Fairlie, Alexander, and Apollo. • - The Report of the Secret Committee was yes tehlay taken into consideration in the House of Commons, and Lord CASTLEREAGII stated the measures which in his opinion it would be neces sary to adopt to meet - the ' exjgency of the case, l i t will be seen that Ministers have been most anxious not to make any greater alteration in the existing laws than was absolutely necessary ; in deed,. in the opinion of 'W. CANNING and Mr. WILBERFORCE, the measures proposod are hardly sufficiently strong. :;The Bill Which Lord CAS TLEREAGII brought in.is limited in its operation to the disturbed, districts, and, in point .. - of duration, to' the next Session of Parliament . . The Magistrates of thuse districts are to have the power of searching for stolen or secreted arms, without having first a deposition made hi respect to the concealment, as at present required by law. They are likewise to'have the power of calling on the inhabitants to give up their - arms, receipts being at the same time given, in order to the safe cus tody of the same; and of immediately dispersing any tuinultuary body, without allowing them an hour, as at present, to disperse; after the Riot Act has been read. Those who do not immediately dis perse, when so required, are to be liable to pu nishraent for a misdemeanour, and the Magistrates are to have not only the power of dispersion, but also that Of arrest, and to hold the offenders to bail, in order that they may be brought to trial at Quarter S,essions. - Finally, the Ma.gistrates of the disturbed counties , are to have jurisdiction over the adjacent districts, in order that offenders may not defeat the ends of justice• by passing with impunity over thA borders of the county in which their offences have been committed. stria. • „ (Signed) " Gumbinnen, Ala 21." • WINDSOR, JULY 10.—The KINGOSC and ordered his own dinner yesterday, and partook of it very heartily soon after one: lie.is navin the same state as previous to his.late attack. The PRINCE REGENT will hold a Leeve on Friday next. The Duke of YORK held a Military Levee yes terday at his Office in the Iliirse-Guards. Thursday the PRINCE REGENT took an airing on horseback in the Parks. - . Yesterday the LORD MAYOR ,gave a grand Turtle Feast, at Kew, to the ➢ukes of CUMBER LAND, SUSSEX, CAMBRIDGE, GLOUCESTER, and a large party of persons of distinction. Accounts have been received froni the Downs, detailingtheparticularS of a gall4nt attempt of Capt. .LENNocK, in the Raven sloop, off the Scheldt', to destroy . the ,enemy's flotilla,. consisting 'of 14 sail, when practising hi the 3d inst. close in their. own port. He succeeded in cutting off 7, three of which he totally destroyed, the other' sought protection under a battery. - The enemy's naval force, now ready for sea in the Scheldt; consists of eighteen sail of the line and five frigates.- In consequence of what the LoRD'eHANCELLOR said yesterday, in the House of Lords, On the sub ject of PALMER's claims, it may be supposed that the clause-to .vhich his Lordship objected, implied, that Mr. PAr..ma was to receive the ar rears with Out deduction of the Property ,Tax. — This, we understand, not the case, but that the wards Were usual, and such ,as Were adopted in the case of - Lord NELSON'S, Lord WELLINGTON, and all grants of a similar nature.
