IMPERIAL PARLWIENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, TUESDAY, .Arnu, Is. .GAOL FEES. Tbe CommoN SEn.rTisrTsjasleiTrd for the City of London a,,Tainst certain parts of. the Gaol Fees Bill. The object was not to oppose the general principle - of the abolition of gaol f,es,' but to show that the consequences of that abolition 7wonid fall more - heavily on the City of . London than a fair z-epportitmrnerit of the expence would warrant. A - slim of 5,000/, was annually . expended on gaols froth the funds of itie City of London, mid an addition - of 5,0001. would be inside to this expellee, in case the Bill were to pass in its pre se at shape. As the ro'ilic in general reaped the advantage, expence ought to be inure equally apportiOned, *nil the (icy of London partly relieved. • - -'The Keeper of Newgate, and seine other persons, were tailed as witnesses, who Foved Elie case stated. Lord SHAVI'SBURY, the Chairman , of the Committee, then left the chair, and reporte+prygreis; and the further roceetlings on the -Bill were i postponed to consider what amendments it might be neccssary,to introduce.

He ex , pa4ated on the horrors of this traflie---congratu sated the - friends of, humanity •on its having re ceived its death-blow from what passed at the Congress, and the Decree of Buonaparte- - ---and stated the following to be the -principal features of 1ti5...8111 - : first-, to prevent the employment of British capital, he would make it felony to em ploy it in that way; whether so employed by a - subject or a foreigner residing in the United kingdom. He would prohibit the insurance of ships engaged in it, and would have a prohibition against lending.money on any security, in those • countries where the slave trade was not yet abo lished. -He then moved for leave to bring in a Bill to the effect he hadist)ated. • • - Mr. Scrjetto aVittov e Mr. A Baow:st, and Mr. WI LBEIIFOII CE, of the motion; hick it 114 - itigietti to, and a Committee appointed to bring in the A Nlttt.itu:e front the Lots inftwruel the House that their had a!•reed to Vac Pancras Paving Bill, and several other witl7ontany amendments. ALIEN ACT. Mr. BATIVORST, in rising to renew his motion for leave to bring in a Bill to make further pin visions respecting Aliens, stated this to be a ne cessary measure of ptecaution, as the Act now - in,force had been passed at a time when Europe was in a very different situation, and when Mi- • ni:Jters could confidently look forward to a durable peace. The changes- . which had taken place,- and the many AlienS' t4illg to this country, made it neczss-ary to strOlg"theterthe arm of Government, by giving it grehtife.:powers than it at present • possessed. 1-le proposed' that it should continue in force for one y:.:ar, and on this condition, he trusted, the measure would meet with the appro bation of the House. Whatever objections had at times been urged to the 'former Alien Act, lunch public benefit had been derived from it, and 'he thought at the present crisis it woulll not - be im proper to arm the tiovernment with those powers which had been entrusted to them btfore. Mr. WurTneEAD thought that an Alien Bill, from the first which passed to the present mo meta, was a blot 'cot the Statute-book. ln the , case of Mr. De Berenger last year, and of Mr. Corea this year, great abuses b-ad been -committed ; - anti though the [louse had not visited the Mini ster who .had abvised .Iris powers with their cell ., sure, yet he thought ,it should make the House cautions. The .powers now called tor, had never 'been 'given ID r we • of peage. At preient the people-of. thilAwintry knew' nothing of the -state in which we ..vveyplaced. The House knew . v e ry little about it, .and,.he believed the Right lion. Gentleman and his Colleagues knew very little more titan any of them. There was. sufficient powers already in the hands of Ministers to pre vent mischief, and he therefore objected • to any extensive powers being added. It seemed also there had been a conspiracy between the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and the Secretary for 5 the ;lonic Department,: who, nut contented with the abuse of the powers vested iu themselves, had delegated then to Consols resjkliog at f ore i gn Courts—as was the case in Spain. Fur these rea sons he waslast night desirons the motion s h ou ld he node in - a ',fuller House than there was last • .. night. Hd,tbdught also that the Bill should be delayed tiib‘i . e were actually in a. state of war, trilieli he still hoped we should not be, anti there- fore objected again to the bringing in of the Bill. Lord CASTLEREAGH slid the question was, • AVhether there was any likelihood of danger which called for the Bill; and it would ()illy be nu:cis:lvy to compare the advantages with the ineonvenien cies likely to result from the measure. Under these circumstances be thought the House would not feel any constitutional jealousy of giving leave to bring in the Bill. Lord A. HAMILTON was against the Bill being brought in. Mr. Srunozs BOURN t said the first measure in 1793 was only a cautionary measure, and this was the same. _ _ Leave was given to bring in the Bill. . Mr. BATHURST then brought up the Alien Bill, which was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on _Friday, and to be printed. — Adjourned. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. rnocLAnATIoN OF MONSIEUR LAINE, PRESIDENT OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENT %TIVES, &C. &C. In tl►e fume of the French Nation, and as President of the House of Representatives, I hereby - solemnly protest against all Decres by which the Oppressor of France presumes to or ►ter the dissolution of the Houses. I consequently declare all proprietors dispensed from pay ing contributions to the agents of Napoleon Buonaparte, and all families exempted from snpplyint, by weay of Conscription, or other mode of recruiting, any number of wen called for fur the service of the army. Since so disgraceful an attempt is mail on the liberties of the French people; it is their duty individually to maintain their rights. Their allegiance to Napoleon Buonaparte has long since been dissolved, and being now hound by their af fection and their oath to their Country and their King, they would Cover themselves with infamy in the eyes of nations, and of posterity, were they to neglect such means as remain in their power, as individuals. History,- in preserving an eternal gratitude to those men, who, in all free countries, have declined giving assistance to tyranny,, l►ad with con tempt the Citizens who so far fOrget the dignity of man, as to stbmit to its miserable agentS. Under a persuasion that the French are thoronghti• con vinced of their rights, I look upon it as my sacred duty to issue the present Proclamation', which, in the name of my tol leagues, and of the cOuntry of which they are" rept:esenta tires, shall be deposited with our records, and secured from the reach of the tyrant, that reference may be bad to it, in case of nccd. (Signed) LAINE. BourdeaeLK, the 28th of March, 1815. FAREWELL ADDRESS OF THE DUCHESS OF ANGOU- LEME Tp THE INHABITANTS (►F BOUIWEAUX. " Brave BordeLais,—Your fidelity is well knOwn to me; yon devotion, unhmiteel, - does not permit you to foresee any danger : but my attachMent for you, for:cvery Frenchman, directs me to foresee it. My stay in your city being pro longed might aggravate circumstances, and bring down upon you the nvight of vengeance, I have not the courage to be hold Frenchmen unhappy, and to be the cause of their mis fortune. I leave you, brave Bordelais; deeply penetrated with the feelings yQu have exieessed, and can assure you that they shall be faithfully transmitted to the King. Soon, with God's assistance, under happier auspices, you shall witness my gratitude, and that of the Prince whom you love. (Signed) " MARIE THERESA. " Bourdeanx, April 1, IW." BRUSSELS PAPERS. VIENNA, Arm s.—The Neapolitan army has not passed through' Rome, but made a circuit about the cit y . It is not estimated at more than 50,000 men. Every where on its route it posts . up Proclamations, inviting inhabitants to concur towards the ,independence . of Italy; A Russiah army of 50,009 men will, it .is said, marck from Prague to Italy. COLOGNE, 12.—The march of troops through our city will commence itirmediatelv ; between the 15th inst. and the 7th of May, a great many Prussian battalions will pass through, - making but a short.stay here; they will proceed without delay to the frontiers of France. Prussia is to have 330,000 men on foot, forming seven corps, four of which. will immediately take the field, and the othe► will form the reserve. LEIPSIC, APRIL 3.—The speedy arrival of a corps of the army of Silesia is announced here; it will be followed by a lingsian corps, under Field Marsbal Barclay de Tully. • The columns of French prisoners rettirning from Russia have retrograded ; one arrived here some days sive, which has been sent towards Dresden. FRANKFORT, APRIL 7.—This:city has raised an extraordinary levy of 4000 men, and a subserip, tion has been opened for their equipment ; the suns subscribed .spun exceeded the re-uisite amount. VIENNA, APRIL I.—The Archduchess . Maria Louisa has indeeed changed her liveries, but they still are green. and blue, which are the colours of Parma. It was _therefore a mistake when she i.vais stated to have taken the livery of the Arch dukes ; she drove -out that day carriage of the Archdukes to escape the callosity of the people. For some time past she has appeared in high spirits, and visits all the public promenades. A very strict guard is kept at Sehoenbruno, and nobody is allowed to go in or out without ,giving an account of himself. The King of Saxony is to come here on the 26th,,- and Will reside io the Imperial Palace. BERLIN, MARCH 25.—According to more par ticular accounts, the tumult in Dresden was more serious than we at 'first believed here. In all great cities, there is a licentious . populace : many perpons of this description, on the news of Napo leon's landing. in France, indulged themselves in indecorous behaviour and insult to the Prussian national troujis, which the Prussian COIIIIII2II - Von Doblchutz judged it proper to elteek by vigorous measures ; since then, several of otlr regiments have been ordered to Dresden. FRANKTORT APRIL H.—Yesterday his Excel lency Prince Narischkin, liiglr Ch a mberlain of his Majesty the Emperor of Russia, arrived here with his suite. A public print states, that by the new Treaty of Alliance, Englund gives 5,000,000 ster li n g i ll sub- sidles, besides- its contingent of 150,000 tarn, The ,cavalry of the combined Armies (which will amount to nearly 1,000,000 of men) at 200,000, and the artillery . a t 4000 pieces of cannon. is estimated Vu:NNA, rfir. 5.---The Archduchtns Louisa has returned no answer to Napoleon's let ter to her announcing his arrival in France : , There is a talk of leaving Saxony under its pre dent Government curing the whole of the war. — Twenty thousand of our troops have already pass- ed the frontiers of Bavaria ; another column fol lows immediatelyafter them.—(Journal de la Re publique.) VIENNA, APRIL s.—The 4ustrian Observer has the following, article : " Nothing is more remarkable than the efforts of Napoleon's Government to persuade the public, both at Paris and ,in the rest of Fr-nce, that the Declaration of the Powers of the 13th of March is a taloication. It is a proof that this Declara tion, in spite of pll the measures of Government, is widely disseminated in the capital, and-that Go vernment is highly interested in making the peo ple believe, that the event which has brought back Napoleon fori l a moment to the 'Anil!cries, has taken place in concert with the Powers of Eorope, or at least by the connivance of some of them. " The solemn and decisive manlier in which the Declaration pronounces ‘• that there is no peace with iltionapartei" the prospect, evident even to himself, of the incalculable evils which his return is going again- to bring upon Frances Bf:el.-the short enjoyment 'of the repose which she had so long desired 5 the idea that this fatal presage is inseparable from his name, in .the minds of all ; such are thy motives which induce the Sovereign of the monteirt to spare no pains' to conceal, as long as possible, from a part of the French people, the fatal proscription which Europe has decreed against him. This great sentence has, however, been pronounced. The regard which the Allied Powers, on 'entering France in 1814, showed for the wishes - and the rights of a free and independent people, is'still fresh in the memory of that peo ple. The saute Powers attack at this moment the same scourge ; "they desire only a sure and durable peace, bat tkey will never recognise as a peace a state of things whiA might furnish a military despotism with the means of incessantly threaten ing its neighbours, which would force other Powers continually to make efforts and new sa crifices. " he opinion of the nation loudly proclaims it self in the sOuth and west of France. _A gloomy despondency prevails at -Paris. The departUre of all strangers, the interruption of commerce, and of all foreign connexions, the insulated state into which France is suddenly, thown, are events which will soon lead the public in the capital to express its wish, no longer to be. excluded . -froiry all communication with other nations. France-is' now threatened with war'against all Europe, with a revolution in the interior, with the return. of all the calamities which have afflicted her for these five and twenty years. But a short time ago, esteemed and honoured, she had resumed her rank among the first powers ; she %vas called to do great things both for her own advantage and that of others; she had in her power to heal her deep wounds, to become one of the pillars of the political system of Europe. " France will bicterly repent having - lost all `these advantages she-will feel wilt a misfortune it is for her to have sacrificed the peace and the welfare of twenty-fiveruillions of men to the mis taken point of honour of, an infatuated army.— The army itself will perceive, that having broken the honourable ties which unite it with the State, it is preparing for itself a bottomless abyss, in which, sooner or latter, it will be swallowed np with its imaginary glory and its chimerical hopes." STATE PAPER. _L•I , COPY OF A NOTE FROM THE FLENIPOTENTIARIS OF HIS MAJESTY THE KING OF NAPLES, TO'I2O4',D CASTLEREAGH :- rientia, I Ith Feb. 1815: " The undersigned Ministers, Plenipotentiaties of his 31ajesty the King of Naples, have had the honour of addressing to his Excellency my Lord Viscount Castlereagh, Principal Secretary of State of his Britannic Majesty, for Foreign Affairs, an Official Note, dated the 29th December hest, so liciting the conclusion of the Definitive Peace he twecn the Crowns of Naples and Great Britain.
