For the abilities of many upon that Bench (the Opposition) he had the highest respect ; but some of them now agreed with 'his humble self, fbal such :measures were ' necessary for • the sate( y •of the Constitution. VVltenfauy• Noble Lord, 'howexer, sptdie, who differed from him in opinion-, lee always heard him with attention, and never interrupted him. lie thought the presAtt measure called for by the Country, by Parliament, and byithat House in particular. The sense of the lifter was so une quivocally expressed, as he hoped they would do their duty in following up thatan-ppoit they had so wisely afforded, and that the Tidle would meet with the deserved sanction of Parliament. They 'had nothing in view but the safety of the Consti lotion, and the true interests of the country, which 'he. wished might - flourish, and be handed down 'to the latest posterity. All admitted the . eitistence of tire evil, and the only difficulty seemed to be, whether this Bill and its pro visions' were necessary to meet that evil. if, at any lot;ite time within the period, the coun try may he in a situation that the Bill could not safely he repealed, The longer continuo-time was.,preferable, ss then they would not have ano ther battle to fight. His opinion act*, that if such met:tames Were not in train, (so we under -sLoidhis,Gface), British blood would have heft spilt, .iind, , turely it was better that such "Bilfs• sholtld be , rtoSed, than thtt stub au alternetive shout take pleee,!. On this account it was; ii really believed, that no dangerous meetings bad' taken pfliee'at •Maoches;er, filasgoei, .or Paisley } .. These were - prevented by the effect of the mea sures brought forward, and their hopes of -over turnirielhe • 69yeronteut were damped by the knowledge such `persons had of the measures in preparation; and th& great bulk of ' the country being against their, projects.- He admitted that considerable distress exist ed, but he must say, those whe were the most active in those-dangerous praco, tires were not tho s e 'who were most .affected by the distress. He trusted, that all the attempts at the destruction of the whole fabric of the Govern ment and the Constitution would he completely frustrated. Though no man could ..feel More for the distressof those who really suffered than Wm.! , self, yet he could never in such a crisis consent to tie up tlie hands.of his Majesty's.Ninisters-, in whose good intentions bad the highest confi4 dente.—(Hear !) • The Earl of MORLEY WAS of opinion that una nimity was never more-necessary for - the *Mention of the country than at present. ,'Falsification the leading facts of interest, with respect to thd state of the country, had been carried to a height which it never had attained before. The bubble ; however, had now hurst out, end,that atneliorAJ Lion which our present state so loudly celled, for; would be effected by the measures which were in their progress through Parliament. He contend ed that the indications, of the times-were fully adequate to warrant the adoption of these mea; sores of restriction.,- During tfi.e most, Nittien/ period of the French!Reeolution, large assemblies of theyeOpleohairtalten place for the purposes of political discussion ; i but in no instance had this; been without the. attendance, and their being •re gnlarlyeonder•the control of constituted authori-" ties. He sincerely, trotted that their' : Lordshipt would pass the present Bill, and thereby restore tranquirrity to the country, which he did not doubt was , the• eve of again enjoying that prospe rity and - happiness i t Which, from its late-unparal , Med success in Arrits, the ctvilization of : its peo. ple, and the : eXcellencesot its laws, it was so jost ,4y,entitled to: . The Earl of PONOUGHMORB Said, that although heowas entirely averse to the principle .Oflthefltill; yet as there seemed at present to be a question for restricting its ditration to two years instead of five, he certainly should prefer afflicting his coon = try with it for the thorter_rather:than'the longer perjod.,. One. of, his objections to it was, that it went to plaCe, some of our great..., constitutional rights entirely at the discretion of persons under. the immediate inflnence of the Crown. Supposing the seditious praptices alleged against. the people of .Maiochester, and the people in different this. triers in the Northern part; oldie kiugdont, were fully esieblished, was be on that account to !offer; all _his majesty's subjects, from one end of the countryto flee other, to be divested of their:welt o constitutional rights i— (Near, hear !)--The Not ble Lord who had- : opened .the present motion; _had taken-it for granted that 'every one was sotis- 1 , fled with the- - greatnest'Of the evil - , and with the; stolipieitting it. lie, for, one, Was' not.sOris.G(l,:with• either the.one or the other.= (Hear . , hear 1)--,i-Anothee reason , he had - for bb jettitietolihe,Passing of this BilrWes, that it was made to apply equally-46; those Who in: their con--; duct were complete strangers to its ensettnent.'--, The conduct_ of IreWnd hid been io'sPoken of in another Piage,. as to prove howlittle 'that country. merited the operation;of the 'present measure ,boot . he : soppotedA he passing,ofs. 8i41,,0f Pains and; Penalties ! would pcecest,ed by , a.. panegy r ic his .unfortunate copntry.-,,.He contended that„it :(1(1 . ; riot deserve any of its en,aetments.- fle•dis-1 syprpved,of the ,rneature on, other,grounds.„lle; not, onAY ,disp,pproved..9l it on its: own,,gronnds,i but on .account of its .being part, of a system to the whole of which he ~was averse.

As a striking instance of what he said, he would mention a meeting which was allowed Th take place in 'the very Metroptilis, which no' steps had beets taken to prevent, tit put down. As to Ireland, he contended this Bill was an in sult upon her, and could only be intended as an 'ee Noble Lord (Castlereagh) who had introduced thosessmeasures, knew tha4 .,.. tshere was nothirrg in t)tb sasate country to esl)4'cli tfie• nriavisions of this Bill were applicable. Because in- England the mal-contents were so indiscreet as to disturb and frighten the peaceable part of thecimentosity,, by pat ailing the streets with ban ners and in military order, did it hillow that the Irish were likely to folloW their example ; in lrelapd they knew better how to manage mat ters ; they conducted all this kind of turbulent business in I ooms-t-'-(1-Iear, and a laugh !)—They left it to'the Radicals to destroy the Constitution of 'the country by such means as seditious symbols and devices, and their lock-step, and the like pub lic displays. The Noble Earl concluded by de claring his intention to move an ins , ruction to the ,Commi tee ; but which, front his Lordship's low tope of voice, we were unable to hear. The Earl of Haattowhy thought that the Noble Est! , who had. just sat down, had travelled out of question at present before the Ilouse, which he apprehended was, whether it alosuld go into Committee. It Was a consoling observation, that after all that had'bein urged since the beginning Of the S'ession against the measures of Govern ment, at this period of the discussion it was plain lhat the principal objection against the Bill at present before their Lordships, was as to the dare of its continuance, rather than its principle. The Noble Earl said it was a bad Bill, and therefore wished it to be of a short duration. But for his part, if their Lordships thought it to be a bad Bill, ire would rather advise them not to pass it at all. This Bill, he contended, slid not come forward on the tooting of another one, which lie allbwed was, hostile to the Constitution, but as a Bill called for by the peculiar circumstances and danger of the country; and as it bad no princi ple hostile to the Constitution of the Country, there Was no reason against its being petpetual, 'lts permanency was not opposed out the head that `in adopting a Measure; containing provisions -hostile toe the Constitution, it might be ex pedient to reverse it atter a abort period, in order to ascertain whether it was adequate to meet the danger for which it was framed, or if• in so do ing it should be subversive of any rights or prin ciples which it was not intended to touch. It was., not on this ground that the Noble Eat I . (Donoughteore) argued for its temporary enact meet, but because it retrenched the right of meet-. ing altogether. One of the principal charges which be made against Government was that it did not disperse a .meeting which had taken place, in'the Metropolis itself, by military force. The Earl of 'lloNouGusioue begged to put the' Noble Earl right on, the point. his observation badheen Made as to the prevention rather than tlie, 'dispersion of that meeting. The Earl of lIARROWBY continued.—lle begged pardon if he had mistaken the Noble Eatl ; but ,some meetings might be legal in the manner they were convened, of whatever materials they might 'lappets to be composed. Thit tight of the people to assemble, was erroneously supposed to be guts rautred by the Bill of Rights. It was not from, the Bill of Rights that they derived this,ptisilege. It w a s ours independent or any .4 t from that excellent. construction of our Constitution, which provided, that that which W 39 not forbidden by • law was law !—(Herir, heAr, hear !)—The meet ings of our ancestors, however, were not com posed its the.nianner of the Manchester or Spa fielils The evil of such meetings as these were of till the present day.

If their LordshiP s would look back,. they would find that the 38 0 kind of attack had been followed op prior to th e unfortunate events which bad some time back agitated the Metropolis. The Noble Earl (114r rowby) alluded to. riots headed by Lord G e orge Gordon. Had these Bills been fortunately in force, at that period, the Metropolis would have escap e ' the calamities by which it was then visited.

The Noble Earl (Donoughmor e) thought that Ireland should be excluded froo this Bill, and stated, as a ground for it, that 0 1 , 1 ; part of his Majesty's, dominions conducted WI iu the most quiet and, tranquil tnannes e He cod' himself bear testimonyao,. the exemplary m anne r in which the people of that country had be' their sufferings and distresses almost without pze 'elle'.
