And'he must :here observe, that• because the House was about ota rise, Which required - that immediate applica tion, if,any, should be made to it on the subject, -that there were no other means of dealing with • it:. lie understood the case 'had excited the .atteistion:of the .Xttorney-General : but, if in the conflict. of libels, his Hon. and, Learned ...Friend'should not have it- in his power to put-1 this down, and even if the Attorney-General had •• : mot thought proper to- follow the individual in • question,:he begged to'remind the lion. Member. .-that there were other Means fully adequate to meet thecase. He would not go in:o the nicety ;of the Hon: Gentleman's argument, that because the Bill pending in the other House might come down to them, therefore that House was.identi .fied'iwith. the - .Lords_ -in the proceeding. He • - wished fully to be understood, as neither vindi cating nor calling upon the House to pass over this flagrant offence. But. he thought the Learned , Gentleman; by taking this step, had placed the House in . a painful situation ; and he must • say, that he did think the Learned Member, - when he made up his mind to call for the inter ' ference of Parliathent in this case, might have cast his eyes round to see if there were not other places ,equally fit, and more convenient to take notice of it. He. thought, that if he was in the • habit of reading the ordinary prints of the day, he might have found more than one—or indeed, . he would•ask him to name one day on which ate' had.seen the Prints of this ;Country, and had not . found in them libels of as .flagrant, a nature, and of as dangerous a moral tendency ; as the one he had brought forward.—(Hear, hear, hear!)—lie could- not .understand how the Honourable and Learned. Member could sit by • and see the evidences libelled that Were to be ad duced on the present case—their lives menaced, • and snobs raised in tbe . country by these writings, and yet be content to take up. one, and leave all the OtherS. The House should act'vvith even hand : and he.mustt protest. against one interested being made 'the sole object of their protection, whilst • the Others were :left unheeded, though - equally requiring it. Even the Court itself was run down . and .the witnesses who. were under. its protection were pointed out as fit. objects for. assassination: • (Hear !)---He could have wished that this case, • with the others of a similar nature had been left to be dealt with by the Officers of ,the Crown and of her Majesty': could have wished that - their labours for •the Session had been closed • without their attention being called to the-dis • gusting spectacle of the press of this country— one' which was in such a state of - baseness and ' degradation, as was disgraceful to be tolerated in, any civilized nation.. If the Learned Gentle ' . tnan•whose motion was before the House, : had performed this diity a little more diligently and • equitably, he would have found in some of -the Papers, libels Of - a more direct nature than that 'he had brought forward. He need not have used very extraordinary diligence to' have found the • jurisprudence of Parliament attacked in the grossest manner. Since this matter had .been be fore the House he - (Lord.C.) had paid more than ordinary attention to the subject ; and in proceed ing to. point out to the House some of the glaring instances of licentiousneSs Which had occurred in the course• of his examination, he should merely premiSe • by saying, that if Parliament: should ;think. proper to vindicate one' party, it Was their duty to -Vindicate 411. - He - should not make any fOrmal complaint .on that occasion, being nierfly of pointu . ig out : deep 'wound whiCh . iiiaiinflictect:by•the liCeittiousness of the press, and which wad one lamentable proof of the dis 'l.grace'which it bad brought 'on itself, The Noble.

In this way was this august Tribanal handled. In,,another number, speaking on the same subject, this PUer says : ," Thus ►t was,with her Majesty's Counsel, they were con tinually interrupted by one Lord remp•ritt or ,Viritual or the other, so that any effort they could have made iu the be half of her Majesty, was destroyed Ily the "Hock wilts of this HouSe of Lords. It is 'really nauseous to hear those old jades talking about justice and purity, it is just as if the in mates of a. toot should quarrel amongst themselves which was the most virtuous, and complain of a departure from the paths of virtue and morality." • • " The 'louse of Lords, as more veteran in profligacy,. has laid what little sense of shame it; might bare possessed upon the shelf, and is alpnit to proceed naked, and without further sitation: We rejoice at it, because it is now about tu exhi bit iiselt in that character to the woild Which it has lately practised insidiously. The corrurtion of the Parliament will nt . future he nut only seen as the Sun at noon day, but will lie top glaring to be clouded or shaded by any matter, however den:e." " The earth has groaned under the cm se of Monarchical Goreintnents much tr.) long.

But the monarchical form of governmenit is•like every other_vice s it will destroy itself in be course of time, even if no opposition be made to it. %ices of the English Monarchy are evidently precipitating it to a crisis_aml a dow.ifilii," The Noble Lord then read the following ex tract, . relating to the conviction of Carlik.:— .• •• lad 1 ti vett in Greco:, or in Rome, with my present dis position, 1 should have been put to death fur want of a due respect to the " Isimmerst.

The common sect !nation of the word blas phemy has been, in Greece and in' Panne, a cursing - or evil sptil-king of the I %13101tTA toes, .such as Jupiter and abets - . Amongst the Jews, it related to Jehovah;. and throughout Christendonr, it has been made aPplicahle to Jehovah, Jesus, and some anonymous Ghost, called Holy." These passages with which he had troubled the House. would serve 'to... shew the lamentable state to which the pres 4 of the present.day was reduced. Ile. must remind. the Hon. and Learned .. Gentleman,.that if Parliament was not confined to the,view of the case which he had taken, it could not interfere to protect herJ\lajesty, with out also extending its protection to the witnesses, to the Judges, and to the Court. It theicon - - , lined themselves to the insulated' case now brought before them it would shew that the House of Commons cared only for one of the interests concerned ;--that it did not care for the proceeding' itself ; nor for the Judge, nor for any other party whose interests were equally volved. ' He did not intend to oppose the motion before the 'House ; - but, ill the House should' adopt the proposal of the Learned Gentleman,. he should certainly think it his duty to followup the prosecution of the publications alluded to, by moving that a sweeping -instructions be givia to the Attorney-General,' to pursue the prints to which • had just called the attention of the House. lie • did not .mean, however to infer that the Attorney-General "would not' have prosecuted, of his - own accord, every one • of 'these 'litfamods libels; but that House must! shew that it directed its attention to the whole sphere of these . offenCes:- He_ trusted he had shown as much disposition as any Member could show to condemn the libel in question, to which he Was not disposed to give the-smallest cottnte natice,- It was for - the house to ,deternune whe ther it became them to order a prosecution for that libel; but if, it did, he should feel it to be his . duty to -deliVer "in the other publications for the same purpose. • Dr. LUSHINGTON felt confident that the.indignation of every one in that House would be excited when the. libel was . brought before them which slandered the Queen of this coun try whilst her trial was pending. It was his duty to state why he had not conic before the House with a complaint of this description. IO fact, the paper which his Honourable and Learned Friend (Mr. Wetherell) had introduced to their notice had been handed to him, and•excited such general in-. dignation in all that saw it, that he gave the subject his par ticular 6n - skit:ration. But when he considered that the libel was contained in an obscure country Print which bad but little circulation, he conceived that it would be of compara tively little advantage to correct its noisomeness, so long as the Prints of the-Metropolis were allowed to continue their slanderous attacks on her Majesty. I/ would be in the recol lection of the House that a short. time. ago a Noble Lord (Lard Nugent), had called their attention to - two . of the Daily Papers of this town; one was the Morning Po.tt, - which said that her Majesty ought to suffer, whether as a criminal or a martyr, they cared not. The othettontai: ed alt equally atro cious attack—equally calculated to stimulate to acts of vio lence againit her Majesty: Now when be considered that these Prints, which were under the immediate - eye of Go vernment, supposed to be under its influence, and to a cer tain degree udder its direction, were allowed to go at large ; tic thought it was nut worth his while to. call for .the ven geance of Parliament on the other insignificant publication, which, he thought, should be suffered to die in its own. tsar tive-obscurity. His Hon. and Learned Friend stated, that the essence of the offence of this writer was, that he branded with criminality an untried individual; and he should he dispoied to regard this charge with the more gravity, if her Majesty bad received, any other - treatment throughout the whole_ course of these proceedings. Had the Queen, he would ask, hid no guilt imputed to her without trial, coming from bigher quarters'? Did she now go to trial with the same ad vantages that _any ordinary individual would have under the same circumstances ? Had she not already been treated by Government as a person already convicted ? Was she not struck outof. the Liturgy Without trial, to her .prejudicc during .a pending investigation, and was nq this done With out givin g her an . opportunity of clearing up the foul stains upoes her character? What could his Majesty's Minis ters say against the Morning. Pug and the Courier atter this ? It was not, of the injustice dune to her by the paltry provincial _print that he thought it worth while to complain ;. 'altfiough Ale had 'taken her Maj'esty"s_ pleasure ens the subject. 'Re - had other reasons for norecllr/i2ng forward with' .those complaints to the House. He h.lll et4er considered all attempts to restrain .the public press estreniely difficwlt, was surly as he aS to witnessits Owl-rations from the strait line of rectitude, he considered a free press as so essen tial to tbeexi,tence of 111ty, that he was aVerse from corn ing forward to - place any shackles upon it, as no one could •fore See w here their limit seas to he fixed. He lipp e d he strdold not be misinterpreted, drill pposcd to wish that the. libel -in question,shouki go ',without punishment. He thought that was a matter that should be lett to the Attorney -General on 1 - his own responsibility. It was true her Majesty might re ':sort.to.the Courts of Law, but then be it remembered that she went into those. Courts with the seal of -criminality affix ' (Ann her by his Majesl,l% Government: With respect to the • publications adverted to by the Noble L9rd-Opposite, he was ready to admit. - that they had certainly • passed all the fair bounds of,,puhlic discpssion. Thi s , oNwerer, was matter of consideiation . for tin! Attorney-General ;• the rude of whose conduct.in• instituting 'prosecutions tot : -libel 'ought, its his opinion to .heotever: to take such a step unless he felt in his conscience that he ought to obtain -a conviction.

Who had not. seen the papers placarded with the greatest industry throughout the metropolis Ile Would ask hint Who said the Queen's_ease was prejudged, whether he had seen any of an .opposite tendency ?

He could not agree to the IMAM') tif his Learned Friend, because he thought .it would tend to prejudice what waA going on in the other House. Mr. TIERNEY said lie would esinfioe himself entirely to the Motion before the Hinise. In all the attention he had paid to the discussloo,Ue coofessed he was unable to discover in what manner the offence charged on the Publisher of the fceyern . •Litminurq cotild be, made into a breach of the pi ieifeget-Of that House. Giving him full credit fur its ingenuity, he rather feat-eat bat the'' iirgoirtent of his Learned Friend (Mr. Wetherell) was too refined for his (Mr. Tierney's) under ' standing. The Learned Gentleman seemed to think that the Bill of Tains and Penalties in the Lords was'sure Ao_come down to,that House. He (Mr. T.) was - not at all sare'af attr thing of the kind. If the offence was to be noticed :it-all by Pat !lament, it Most certaiay rested wills the I louse of Lords to take it tip.: When his - Learned Friend talked of the stilt of prejudication, 6e. ought to see - that. directing the Attor oey-Getteral to proseente, would he sentlinLi-the indiyidital to ial with the whole weight of the opinion of that Iry use iii , his prejudice. • . . Lord ARCHIBALD HAMILTON denied that what had been said: by his Hon. and Learned Friend (Dr. Lushington), in disparagement or, condemnation of the pryCce'dingS s jii: Majesty's Ministers, was intended to raise or inflame any public prejudice. .It was nothing more than a fait statement 'and representation .of their conduct. The Hots. stud Learued Gentleman (the Attorney-General) was not, he thought, re marliably happy in his argument, that the insertion of the queen's name in the Liturgy would have przventtd them - from giving credit, to the charges. against. her. Such a doctrine was fundamentally erroneous,. and nothing was more certain than that an accused person ought until cats -victims, to he treated as innocunt • but the offer_of fifty thousaod pounds a year was a proceeding quite as inconsistent with the present. prosecution as.t he insertion of the Queen's name in the Lititrgy could have been.' It appeared, its the course of the late negotiations, thutt the omission diffuot arise out of the charges } and would bait be affected by their result. .He admitted. thatismoy gross and malignant libels had been . published, but the authors seemed to have caught the infec ., tion• from his Majesty's Ministers, and to have improved upon their example.. In the endeavours made to pervert the irrita , Ilan of.the public mind, his Majesty's Ministers had been Most able coadjutors. 'By the system which they, bad adopted they had armed ,one branch of the Royal Family against the other, and Made the triumph—if triumph it could be called— of. one branch. constst, in the others' degradation. With re gard to the libel in question, it Was so gross as to he beneath her .Majesty's Alt Cation, and was calculated to be•detriMental only to the author... Mr. MAXWELL spoke its reprobation of the blasphe mous and irteltgions publications which had been alluded to in the course of the debate. Mr.WETHERELL...repIied. He stated the object that he had had in rieu in bringing this. subject forward, to be obtained, since it had b•en admitted that the publication in question had required, and.-had been in possession of he attention. of the Attorney-. General of England. He . was patified at hearing this, and was glad that he had brought the question forward ; but he. thought the• No ble Lord had not treated - him with his ricensttuned lenity. He had said, that he (Mr. Wetherell) had nut pro ceeded diligently and equitably; and had considered - him to blame fur not reading all the ,libels which had been al luded to, yet it afterwards. appeared that the -Attorney-Ge neral himself had out read some of them. He contended, It was not' fair•tO accuse hint of partiality for only bringing ertie.forward;',if there : were.uthers of. a similar description, 'or equally reprehensible in afiother way, it was fur the At; torney-General to find them out. He was not tire .serrant or the fig of the Noble Lord, and it was ❑ot his duty to bring all such offenders -to justice. What had passed - this night was sufficient for his purpose, as be understood that the Attot ney- General would have brOught the subject birward, if he (Mr. Wetherell) had not improperly obtruded his tuotion: The SPEAKER - is-as about to put the question, whett the Hon.

BIRMINGHAM PETITION Mr. Alderman WOOD presented a. petition, signed .by G. Edmonds,'on behalf of a numerous meeting at Birmingham, at which meeting the petitioner had acted as chairman. ~ He was aware that it could only be received as. his petition ; but as the language of it,- though strong, was not disrespectful to the House, he should now move that it be brought up, and read.. - • The petition was then read.at length ; it was upon the sub ject Of Parliamentary,Reform.
