AFPRAY LE GRAND.—A dispute, attended with • singular consequences, arose restsaalay iu oue Of the Committee IlOoms of the The Committee were engaged in discussing the - I merits of the New Post-Offiee Billy- when, in the course csf .the debate, Mr. H-- the Hon. Member for ,S--y, made some observa tions upon the City of London, which called forth a vindication of the. Metropolis from its worthy Represeutative, , Sir The County Member having, however, repeated his animad versions, they were repelled with consider able warmth by Sir sJ-- ; upon which his opponent snatched lip an ink-siand, and dis charged it, contents and all, by way of argumen t= Atram6ntarium, at the head of the Baronet. This, I ke the remarks, extorted the retort cour teous, and Sir J— returned the compliment with another ink-stand equally charged. Both happily missed their aim, aad the greatest injury svas sus tained by the surrounding Committee and by standers, some of whom , on revisiting the precincts of the ehearful day, made a very whimsical and piebald appearance.—The room was spun cleared of strangers, and, we are happy to say, that, by friendly interference, proper explanations and apo logies were offered and accepted, and the parties shook handshefore they separated. GREAT PEDESTRIAN PEAT.—Mr. THOMPSON, the pedestrian, who started from London on Monday seyinight, to go . 60 miles a d ay for five days, finished his Herculean undertaking On the following Friday.—Mr. THOMPSON was much distressed on Thursday evening, and atter going ten limas on the last day his legs swelled, but he persevered, and accomplished the task, which, next to the BARCLAY match, is the first on record. CURIOUS FACT IN NATURAL IIISTORY.—A mar tin last year fixed her nest directly over the win dow of the Inn at Rampside, in Low Fames.— After her young were hatched she became a very troublesome visitant, by throwing the cleansing of her nest upon the window. The servant girl, with more attention to cleanliness than humanity, iemoved the inconvenience by destroying the nest with a broom. The young birds fell to the ground of course ; in the meantime the parents collected a great number of their own species, who quickly built a second nest, sufficient for the reception of the distressed family, and the young were safely conveyed to their new lodgings by the parents and their assistants.—“Vestmoreland-Adrertiser.) Some anonymous inflammatory hand-bills, dis tributed in the course of last week, exciting the labouring manufacturers to dissatisfaction at the pending alteration in the Corn Laws, caused large assemblies-of idle and riotusly disposed persons to hang effigies- of several respectable millers; farmers,. and bakers, in various parts of Norwich - on Sa turday; the Market in consequence was thinly at tended, and less done .than -in many preceding . weeks, to the great injury of all classes. On Alanday afternoon, a woman residing in York street, Nottingham, put a period to her exist e n ce by takin g , a l arge quant i ty of' laudanum. The poor woman was the wife of a discharged blind sergeant, who is pensioned : they had been hut •few days in Nottingham. It is assigned as the reason for the rash act, that her husband pro posed to her to lead him out to beg, which so hurt her spirits, that she was precipitated to the fatal 'step of self-destruction. Afte' having swal lowed the poison, she ran Out of the house in a stare of delirium, and Was 'overtaken, with her youngest chil.i, On the Forest. In the frenzy of despair, %%hen first laid hold of, she wounded a man in His wrist with' a knife so badly, twat it, has rendered him incapable of atteading to his bnsi ness.

The Petition was from one of the personi • against whom .a.Bill of indictment had been some time ago' found for a conspiracy. He was sure, however, that any individual might approach the House in full reliance on its justice, without hay . - ing any thing to fear from the operation of pre judice, whatever the accusation against him. It was from Charles Random Baron de Berenger. • The Petition stated, that he was at present con fined in Newgate, and, by means of his confine ment, precluded from having the necessary means of defence ; and that he had been arrested and detained on false pretences, under a warrant signed by his Majesty's Secretary of State. As the Petition was couched in respectful lan- i page, he should th er ef ore move t h at 'it be read. [The Petition was thereupon • read: It stated in substance, that he bad beeoapprehneded under the Alien Act; that he had been deprived of his money, clothes, and papers ; that no answer had been ,returned to his applications for them ; and that be bad been disturbed in prison by per .sons who came oii the part of the Stock Ex change Committee, with orders from the Secre 7 . tary of State's Office]. - The Honourable Gen tleman then said, he would proceed to make a few observations on the use which h a d been made of the Alien Art in this case. Presuming that the charge upon which the BarOn de Berenger had, been detained, namely., that he was a person dan gerous to the safety of this kingdom, was one on which the Secretary of Stat - e believed he was in conscience called upon to arrest him; he had yet to learn how any person so arrested could be de 7 , prived, under the Alien Act, of any thing but -arms. 'The Baron de ' Berenger, however, had.' been deprived of his papers, clothes, and money. - ?art of . them had been at last returned to him, after it; long delay ; but the precise effects which Were taken froni him at the time of the arrest, had not been returned, When the other Gentlemen got omit on bail, he bad - been 'remanded on a war rant, stating, that it might be dangerous to have liiinsent out of this kingdom, and, authorising his , detention, Ste. Now, up to the period of this myste rious transaction, so far from M.de Berengerhaving been considered as dangerous, he was employed. as an Officer, in a corps commanded by the Earl of Yarmouth. Unless, therefore, such an.explana tion should he given as he did not anticipate, he should - feel it his duty to move for such' a Secret Committee as had examined into the case of Capt. Colville. Mr. Col Ville had been detained three years,,and hopes bad lately been held out that he would be soon released . ; but the House ought to consider, that - however short the days might seem to them, there was a long interval, from - 1811 to' 1814, to a person in confinement. He should un doubtedly, therefore, move for the appointment ,of a Secret Committee. He wished to remark, also, that no answer had been received to the letter addressed by Baron de Berenger to Mr. Beckett, dated the 19th April, expressing his sur prise that his papers, and other things necessary to his defence, had- not been returned to him until the 14th of May. .This 'letter also stated, that persons bad been intruded on him from the Stock Exchate ConanisttA:, %vitt, ot : clers front the. Se cretary of State's (Mice, who put' various interrO gations. to him. The Hon. Gentleman Concluded with movinr that the Petition do lie on the table. Mr. H, ADDINGTON ,expressed his thenks tat the Hon. Geatleman for the opportunity he had af forded him of explaining this affair. Wi. gout entering. into, any detailed answer, be a, - pahl s:ortly State io the House, that M. de Bare:l e er • , being a r eg i stere d Ali en, and having. au Alien'S licence, was arrested by a warrant - ssued by the Secretary o! . State, in execation of his duty, on a charge quite distinct from the offence for which a bill of indictment had been found against him. Ott this warrant, having• been apprehended and brought up to London,_ and - when the her-Ge n- denten were released, who had found hail ander the Prosecution, he was (It:rained on the saute charge for W!ielt lie , had been originally arrested, and which the Hon. Gentleman would hardly-ex= pact him to state. With regard to the detene tion of his clothes, money, and papers, the value of the money had been restored, 'a great part of his letters bad been, restored, and his agent had . had access to all of them. If he remained' in New_ gate, it was at his own express desire, he having preferred that prison to that (of Miens. •He was surpt ised to hear the power of the Secretary of State to issue such warrants under the Mien A! t called in question. Such variants bad always been granted by the Secretary of State, and had never before been challenged. There was another charge avhi•ch he could not answer, because he did not know any thing respecting it—that persons had been forced on hint contrary to his own wishes. He did not know any thing of this, but he Was in clined to suppose, thitt when inquired into, a suf ficient reason would be given for whatever took _ place. WHITBREAD observed, that although the Right Hon. Gentleman might flatter himself that he had given a reply to this Petition, the House would feel tat in truth no satisfactory anSWa r bad been given. It was impossible, ,its - IMittC:s new stood, to contradict the assertion, 'that the arrest and °confinement .of the Baron de Berenger originated in a charge totally distinct front the criminal prosecution which had recently been commenced, and the Right Hon. Gentleman must therefore receive full credit for his statement. It was the fact, that Mr. Wrenger bad chosen New gate as the least comfortless place of the two that had been offered him ; but there he was molested by the intrusion of strangers, who came to inspect his person and obtain evidence : to this charge no answer had been given. It was at least doubtful, Whether the extensive powers given to the Secre tary of State, under the Alien Act, bad riot been abused, and that its provisions had been abused and perverted to the worst purposes, Where, however, under the Alien Act, of any other Sta tute, could a justification be fount; for depriving Mr. de Berenger of his money and clothes, some of which were kept from the 19th of April to 'the 14th of May ? What right had the Stock change Committee, a self-e!ected and self-consti tuted body, to intrude upon the privacy of any individual, or to pervert the regular course of public justice ? Mr. BATHURST said,that unless the House, in the exertion of its paramount authority, chose to or der a particular inquiry, which in a matter of such delicacy it would scarcely think . expedient, the subject must rest upon th e statement made by the Right Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Addington). It did not appear that the situation of Mr. de Bel renger was worse than that of other persons under similar circumstances, or that he was intruded up 7 on more by strangers, or was more publicly seen . than if he had been at large, with liberty to walla where he-pleased. He did not know what were the precise regulations of the Alien Act with re gard to clothes or money; but when such a charge Was exhibited against the individual, it seemed natural that such a power should be allowed. • Mr. ABERCRDMBIE thought that a moie serious charge could not be brought against any Minister than that he had misapplied and abused the Powers vested in him by the Alien Act, and that it well merited further inquiry. There was, un doubtedly, great hardship ,in the case Of Mr. de Berenger : he was not, allowed the means of making his own defence, and by means of his ,confinement witnesses were intruded upon him to identify his person, and he was thus compelled to supply testimony to his adversaries.' Lord A. HAMILTON asked, at what time the charge against Mr. de Berenger, for which he 'vas arrested under the Alien Act, had arisen ? • . Mr. BATHURST replied, that the House, if it deemed fit, might order an investigation of the whole grounds of his confinement ; but he would not. consent to fritter away the subject, by giving answers to questions that might lead to improper , disehdsnres.—(A laugh.) Lord A. tIAMILTON added, that be 'wished for no disclosure of State secrets, with which the Right Hon. Gentleman always appeared so big ; he only asked, at what time the 'suspicion arose against Mr. de Berenger ? Mr. H. ADDINGTON answered, that he imagined the suspicion arose at the time the warrant Was issued, which would appear by the date. Sir F. JURDETT observed, th a t un d ou b te dl y credit could not be refused to the statement that Mr. Addington had made ; but, under the cir- cumstances, it was requiring a great deal of the House. He wished that a Select Committee should he appointed, to inquire into this case, as well as into the cause of the continued detention of Mr. Colville in Coldbath-fields Prison. Mr. PONSONBY said, it struck him that Mr. de Berenger had not been treated , in confinement as he would have been in either case, had the other not existed. He had a right to complain of this, as he ought to be treated as a person under the Alien Act, or as a person confined on the charge preferred against him in the bill of in~lictnient.--- He might also have a rightto complain, if money. taken from him were to be brought against him on his trial, which could never have been obtain ed had he tiot been confined under the Alien Act. The question was of importance, and he thought the House ought not to rest satisfied with the mew assertion of the Secretary . of State. They ought to institute some inquiry. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL defended the conduct of the Secretary of State, • He had tre a t e d Dc
