Mini-te's (or hsvin.44 introdoced Bills teitbont eonstitotional cane, or ‘sithont having a due re gard to the Acts of their RUCesl ors. 11r. Baouo AM explained, that he had not said there were no precedents. Mr. C NNI NG said pleasantly, that lie had made no unfair use of the Learned Gentleman's argu ments. He had conscientionly stated them, and as the L - ,arned Gentleman was well aware, had not made the nse of them lie could have done. Mr. BR 0 MOM ANI , in the same tone, confessed th;at the Right Honourable Gentleman knew well Itow to make the best use of the language of an odvercory. and it he hail on the present occasion, St. Matgatet's anti St. James's would have rung w;th it. Mr. TIERNSY supported the Amendment, and defended the Whigs and the Protest against Mr. Canning's remarks. He would have signed the latter. Ile drew an exaggerated picture of the horrors to which the search for arms by night might expose the people, and cnn•ended for tl►e limitation of that clause, as at once irritating and inefficient. The precedents relating to the Highlands were, in his opinion, inappli cable to England, where the Jacobites were not molested. Ile thot►ght there was no dan ger to call for such a measure at this time. —There. was no leading man among the disaffected —no arms, and no money to purchase any. lit- was nevertheless willing to go as far as ‘,1,1 to satisfy the feelings of others, but he never could consent tp o,t, gr b e deernea an ont ra pp fin t,un►anity, and degrading to the country. Lie disclaimed the junction of the Whigs and Radi cals ; but if to refuse to put an end to the liberty of the Press, the right of meeting . , the right of having arms, and so many other rights, was to he radical, they must endure the name. Mr. WiLsoN sp...kt in favour of the amend ment. Mr. B. WILBRAHAM observed, that the clause for searching dot not allow the militaiy, but only the peace officf. , r, to enter the House, and there• fore all the srenes of wanton outrage supposed by the Bight Hon. Gentleman, were purely ima ginary. It tr:o Magistrates were required in the disturbed districts the Bill would be nugatory. Mr. W. WYNNE supported the question, on the ground that a sufficient case was made out, and the matter did not rest on precedents. He, how ever, contended, that what was rejected as such by Mr. Tierney were perfect in that respect. A single Magistrate could take away personal liber ty, and lie saw no objection to one having the power to search for arms. Lord G. CAVENDISH supported the Amend ment, and at any rate wished Derbyshire, which Waq perfectly tranquil, to be exempted from the Bill. General GROSVENOR followed on the same side. Mr. LITTLETON %VHS anxious to p►event the ex plosion of rebellion, which he verily believed might break out in the disturbed counties, But he did not think the clauses objected to were cal culated to produce that effect., ‘VILBERFORCE distended the measure on the score of humanity, as pre Velli 101 l was better than punishment. Sir J. Yoamt said, be bad voted 29 years on that (the side), but if a division was pressed on the amendment, he would do the Gen tlemen► opposite the favour of voting for once with then►. Mr. PROTHEROB said a few words, but amid such a call for question, that it could not be its certaintd ou which side he spoke. The House then divided— . • For the clause Against it Majority in favour of search by uight 107 Mr. 13ttouotrAst expressed a wish to hear from the Noble Lou.l on what ground the county of 'Westmorland was included in the operation of the lie understood it wits perfectly loyal, and there did not appear in his viekv any pretence for placing the inhabitants of that county under the Act. Mr. BENNET said, the Noble Lord,- Member for Westmorland, pronounced a libel on his consti tuents when be declared his consent to the Bill. Lord LowTHErt could not admit that the Bill attached any stignm on the county of Westmor lsmi, and he was sure the county would not con sider the►uselves degraded. The contiguity of Westmorland to the disturbed districts made it ne cessary to protect not only that county, but Nor thumherland. In case it was not included in the Bill, it would become a depot for arms, which might be used in the neighbouring districts. The Noble Lord was enabled to Wolin the House that Carlisle was then in a state which obliged the Lord Lieutenant to take measures for the protec tion of the peaceable inhabi►ants of that city. Mr. WALLACE confirmed the statement of the Noble Lord, observing,. that there was no district snore disturbed than that of Carlisle. Air. BnovanAst explained. Mr. PETER :Moose gave notice of 'Lis intention to move, when the Report was received, to leave out the City of Coventry. _ _ _ After a few words from Sir M. W. Ridley, Mr. Bennet, and Mr. Martin (of Galway), the remaining Clauses were then agreed to, the Bill passed through the Committee, and was ordered to he reported - this day. atiawer to a question from Mr. TIBRNRY, Lord CASTLIBREAGN said, that the Bill wh►ch Lad just gone through the Cptioniittee, might he reported to-morrow ; hut he was MOSt All X ions to proceed with the Stamp 13111, and Libels Bill, Mr. CALLAGHAN brought in A Bill to repeal the Jri.h Bankers' Act, which was read the first and :second time, and ordered to be printed.

We received this morning three days' Paris Papers, to Sunday last inclusive. The Chamber of Peers assembled on Thursday, and agreed to the Address to the KING, which had been ar ranged in Committee. In the Chamber of Deputies, on Thursday, the new President, M. RAvez, took his seat, and M..M. tie WENDEL, CASSAIGNOLLES, DLIMEILET. and DcLoNo,wereelected Secretaries. On Friday the Chambers were occupied in electing Candidates for the Questure. ft was not till Sa turday that the first step was at length taken by (be Chamber for preparing an Address to the KING, that of nominating a Committee for that purpose, by the nine Bureaux, each of them nominating one Member. The Committee thus appointed consisted of M. M. de CHAUVELIN, CAS. SAIGNOLLES, BENJAMIN CONSTANT, BOURDEAU, LAINR, GANILII, KERATRY, ROLLAND (de la Mo selle), and CARDONNEL..—The following are Ex- tract, : " PARIS, Doc. 12.—0 n Friday a Deputation of the Ch.onber of Peers presented their Address to the King. The following were the concluding paragraphs : Invariably attached to the Constitution, which has been made our trenue'll And our hope, the 'Chamber of Peers has already, on a solemn ore iion, recognized, that to the august Founder of the Charter appertains the right of p roposing ever} measure that may assist the developement of our Constitutional Institutions. Sire, you have declared your purpose to be to close the abyss of Revolution ; proud of being associated in so glorious a destiny,we will second, with all our efforts, your noble intentions, we will combat the common enemy, Anarchy, by giv ing to all the interests guaranteed by the Charter, that profound security necessary to the happiness of all, and France will owe to you generous in stitutions, founded on the sacred rights of pro perty, desirable as justice, and worthy of the Prince who has a second time restored to us peace and liberty.' " The King delivered the following Answer :- 1 am very sensible of the sentiments of the Chamber of Norf. 1 witness especially with the greatest satisfaction its determination to concur in my views. It is by this unity oft bought and action, that we shall succeed in preserving the Country from all danger, and securing to toy people that internal peace of which 1 felicitate myself upon having hitherto had the means of conferring upon them the enjoyment.'

Government, we understand, have received no intelligence 'respecting the state of Manchester, since the accounts dated so late as seven o'clock last night. It is probable that by the defensive mea sures adopted to repel the Radicals, in case they attempted any thing serious, they were deterred (tom their intended insurrectionary movem e nts. The defensive measures will be continued till all danger is removed, and the Inhabitants in general seem to be free from all apprehension of danger under so powerful a protection as has been af forded to them. We view with satisfaction the conciliatory ad vances that seem to have taken place between Opposition and Government. Lord Joust Ros seLL made a temperate Speech, upon the necessity of a Parliamentary Reform, so far as relates to the close, or whattare styled, the Rotten Boroughs. Lord CASTLEREAGH came forward with so liberal a proposi►ion ot► the subject; that the Noble Lord was induced to withdraw his mo tion. The Borough of Grampound was the ground to which Lord JOHN RusseLL's argu ments chiefly referred. We hail the appear ance of Lord NORMANNY on this occasion.— It is. not, however, the first time that this young Nobleman has displayed talents, know-. ledge, and powers -of reflection and discussion, much beyond what might be expected at his juvenile period. We doubt not that he will prove a very useful Counsellor of State, as we are persuaded that his talents will advance hint to an opportunity of holding a suitable situation for that purpose. DEC. 14.—The schooner Peterhead Packet, of and frowSunderland, was run foul of last night in the Downs, by the brig Sampson, Gooncumn; the former immediately sunk, but the crew were saved. Tbe. Sampson proceeded to Ramsgate Harbour, having received considerable damage. Major-General Sir TllO3lA§ and Lady M trNao embarked on board the Thomas Coutts East Indiaman this aftermion, un der a salute of 21 gnus. HARWICH, DEC. 14.—Arrived the Beaufoy packet, with a mail, from Holland. She reports, that on account of the ice, the mails were obliged to be landed at Gorey. Conti-ExemaNag, Dec. I s.—Owing to the severity of the frost, and the stoppage► of the navigation by the great accu mulation of ice in the River, very little business was done in our Market this morning, and the prices of all Grain may be considered nominally as on Monday, Last eight at half-past eleven, his floyAl High ness the PRINCE REGENT RI rived at Cvlion House House (loll) Brighton.

FROM I'LIE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS RAY. [Morning Yost] INTELLIGENCE FRONI MANCHESTER. The following is a communication received at a late hour last night 46 MANCHESTER, 'Dec. 13, 7 o'Clock, P. M.— The town up to this date remains quiet. Yon *ill see by the enclosed Notice (posted this morn. ing) that the arrangements of the Police and Ma gistracy have checked the inclination of the Radi cals to hold their Meeting, at all events in the day-time. Persons have been sent to Bolton and the neighbouring villages to learn the numbers and appearances of the different Meetings, but they are not yet returned. To show the eager netts to possess arms, the shop of Mr. Conway, a gunsmith, in Market -street, Manchester, was broken open last night, and robbed of many braces of pistols, guns, &c. &c. The whole of the arms in the shop were in a state for removal, but it is supposed the parties were disturbed and fled." POSTPONEMENT OF THE MEETING. NOTICE. " We, the Requisitioeists, who called the Meet ing to be held in Manchester this day, to address the Prince Regent, and both Houses of Parlia ment, hag leave respectfully to inform the Pub. lk, that the said Meeting is, for prudential rea sons, postponed to a future day, of •which due notice will he given. " Monday, Dec. 1;1, 1819." [Morning Ch, °nick MR. HOMO:3SE. The following are the circumstances attending the arrest of Mr. Hopi -louse : Mr. HohLouse, with his friend, Mr. Michael Bruce, was at No. 1, Spring-garden, about six o'clock yesterday evening, when a Messenger of the House of Commons, acting as De puty Serjeant at Arms, made his appearance, and produced the Speaker's Warrant, as his authority for taking Mr. Hob house into custody. Mr. Hobhouse said, he considered the Warrant to be illegal, and that he refused to obey the iVar rant.. The Messenger replied, that he had brought a force with him to execute the Warrant, and the men were in the house. Mr. Hobhouse desired him to carry back his refusal to the Speaker, but the Messenger said he could not quit him. " Then," replied Mr. Hohhouse, " you must use Your force, for I will submit to nothing else." Two other .Messengers soon after made their'appearance; whe❑ the first Messenger, laying his hand on Mr. Hobhouse, said, " You are my pri soner." Mr. Hobhouse then. 'replied, " I must submit to force; but I protest against this illegal seizure, and desire you to inform the Speaker thereof." Mr. floattousa was immediately taken to New gate by two of the Messengers, in a hackney coach. THEATRICAL REGISTER. Performed I,a.rt ;Viritt.

THE THEATRES. DRURY•LANE.-The Castle (j . Andalusia intro' dtrced a new vocal performer last night a t Oat heatre, whose name is Bansote. He performed, the part of Philippo. He was Well received, all acquitted himself tea well as evident timidity mole permit. His voice scented hardly powerful eitoMf il for such a large Theatre; but perhaps, whenpractio e has emboldened him, it may:appear to more a dvalt• tage. BaAnAst, Miss livaNa, and "%his CARE"' were strong iu support of the musical, and Kletotrt and HARLEY not less successful in the comic pet s of this Opera. CON' ENT• GARDEN.--.Mary Stuart, a trage* professedly translated from the German of. SC HIV LER, was brought forward last night at thi s Theatre. It is a heavy composition altogether , end appeared so even under the spirited actiof which supported it. There is too much dis' lugue in the earlier scenes, and too little incident through the whole. The best drawn charicter in the piece is Buricigh, but his p.licy is rendered too inhuman and somewha t perfidious. The chief novelty wes the appearanc e of Miss MACAULEY as the unfortunate Heroine- The excellence of the recitations in her Repfie prepared the Public to expect much merit ill her acting, and they were not disappointed. Yet we think that the part of Queen Elizabeth stioolit have been assigned to her, as her talents demand more energy than belongs to that of Mary. Mrs. BUNN, however, sustained the latter cnaractet with great force, feeling, and dignity. Mr. C # K EMBLE anti Mr. MACREADY dittplayed C Oll5/' 'termite merit in Sir Edward Mortimer, and the Earl of Leicester, and 'FERMI( gave prominence to that of Paulet. The Managers have doge liberal justice to the piece, by the dresses' beautiful scenery, and the general decorations...' There must be very great curtailment in the Tra' gedy, particularly in the last Act, and then, as it is so well supported in the performance, it stay be repeated with considerable success, on account also of the splendid manner in which it is brought forward. ' 1 EERY endeavoured to announce it for repetition; but the tumult between the Ayes aria Noes rendered him inaudible. The house wet very well attended.

The subject is simple; anti if Govern' meat would co-operate (and why may not is aid be confidently expected), SUCh tracks as Er ping Forest, &c. &c. might be obtained, and interests of these cities, and the vicarage of t be , ro lands, might be equally. consulted in the arrange' Went.
