To the EDITOR of the MORNING CHRONICLE. ?wars, JUNE 2, 1832. Stß—You will not fail to recollect the letters I wrote you a few weeks since " on the danger of a restoration !" I told you why a restoration was possible—why it was probable—who encouraged and supported it—how it might be brought about— and to what this restoration would eventually lead. I told you that this state of things had been so brought about by the anti-national conduct of the new dynasty, and its Ministers, since the revolution —by flattering, and courting, and bowing, and bending to the Royalists and Carlists—by neglect ing and treating with contempt, and imprisoning and prosecuting, the patriotic makers of the last re volution—by persecuting and harassing the Press—' and by acting towards those who established the throne of July, as though they were conspirators or brigands, instead of as honest, virtuous, and patriotic citizens. I told you that the Royalists would at tempt a restoration—that the Chouans and Priests, and Vendeans would aid them—that Louis-Philippe was no longer a rallying point for the pa'riotic— and that but for the national colours having been adopted as his, another drapeau would be raised, in opposition to the white flag, as well as to the dy nasty of Orleans! Now when I said all this, it was because I knew what was passing in France, and because I was certain that in the west as well as in the south many attempts would be made in the course of this very spring and summer. Those attempts commenced at Marseilles—failed there— are now making in the . west of France—and have extensive ramifications in this capital. I told you, however, then, as I tell you again now, that even if in consequence of the anti-national march of the present Government the third Restoration should be effected, that still merely the dynasty of Louis-Philippe would be overthrown, for Henry the Fifth has no more chance of becoming permanently the King of France, than he has of becoming King of Great Britain. He may be restored—this is quite probable; Louis Philip may, by his obsti nate resolution to oppose the patriotic party in France, bring about a civil war—this is quite pro bable. Henry V. may, in consequence of civil war within, and foreign attack from without, be once more restored with foreign bayonets—this is also quite probable; but one thing is certain—and that is, that Henry V. will be overthrown, and that then will follow a Republic. And now there is CIVIL WAR in the WEST of FRANCE! ! It is of no use to mince our words, and count our fingers in such times as these. There is civil war in the west of France ! It is not merely a town or a city riot, or even a series of town and city riots ! It is not simply enzeutes. It is not a quarrel about the conduct of a deputy, or about the appointment of a prefect —or about charivaries or serenades—or about national associations or patriotic clubs—but it is neither more nor less than a general rising of five departments in favour of the eldest branch of the House of Bourbon ! And here let me guard you against believing the statements of the .2lfoniteur. A fortnight ago it told us that La Vendee and the surrounding departments were perfectly tranquil, although a general insurrection was organizing. A week ago it told us that the Chouans and Vendeans were defeated, and that the parties which attacked were too few to he of importance. Yesterday it came forth with some false declarations that the movements of the Carlists had been put down—and to-day, all of a sudden, it publishes a report made by Montalivet to the King, in which he advises more than 150 com munes to be put into a state of siege —and an ordi nance follows, approving the measure ! ! You must not then believe the Moniteur. Its system is that of th e B ourse — t h e Government looks to nothing else—and in order that yesterday (the set mightthe pass putti over ng set tling day a t t h e S toc k E xc h ange) quietly wi t h out a f a ll i n t h e F unds, why of these 150 communes into a state of siege was postponed till last night, and not published before this morning. The civil war in the west of France has several thousand supporters, and several millions of francs at its disposal ! We gain no good by deceiving ourselves and deceiving others as to the strength of our opponents. The war is carried on at 50 dif ferent points at a time. The forces of the Duke of Bordeaux are scattered, and if you know La Vendee you will understand that 100 Chouans may kill without difficulty 500 troops, and the Chouans escape without much loss or injury. Having said thus much of the forces of our enemies, let us exa mine their political and moral characters. They are bold, insolent, daring, bloody-minded, brutally igno rant, and are led on, or instigated by the priests ! The restoration never forgot to reward, arid flatter, and pension, and pay the Chouans and Vendeans It always appeared to expect that another day would arrive when Brittany would be in commotion; and as the restoration always intended from 1815 downwards to nullify the charter of 1814, and to endeavour to re establish a despotic Monarchy, why, it always pre pared for a revolution, by making, or keeping friends of those who were priest-ridden, ignorant, and jesuitical. Charles X. and his family were always heaping favours on those stupid but brutally cou rageous Vendeans, and the taxes paid by the hard working labourers of France were expended, by this anti-national dynasty, in securing the protection and devotion cf Swiss troops and Vendean brigands. The character of these men, both intellectually and morally, is of the lowest possible order. They can neither read, nor write—nor reason—nor reflect— but they can go to the priest or to a Chouan leader —and from these men they can receive orders to proceed to such a commune or such an arrondisse ment—and there to act as some Royalist leader may direct. These leaders are, of course, Quotidi ennc Royalists! They believe in passive obedience —non-resistance—and the divine right of Kings. They look upon the revolution from 1790 down wards as one vast invasion—one great crime—and one horrible attack on the Christian religion ! and the power of the Romish Church ! They believe it not merely not a crime, but a virtue, to extermi nate all liberals--and they even offer rewards for the Dead of Louis-Philippe ! In their circulars and pro clamations they speak in the name of religion and LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 7, 1832 he church—and they pretend that they are acting or the cause of the Romish faith, and for its propa• gation,in supporting absolute Monarchies aid un constitutional Governments. In La Vendee there Are many hundreds of these leaders. A large number continue to receive pensions—even from the Go vernment of July (so little does that Government understand the revolution; arid after having been flattered and coaxed by the Ministers of Louis- Philippe, they have raised the drapeau blanc and are endeavouring everywhere to plant it. The proprietors of the land are mostly Carlists. They five in iso lated chateaus, and receive their peasantry in their halls. Each chateau has its place of refuge, its trap-doors, and its secret corners. Sometimes these are discovered; but sometimes it is otherwise; and in case of non-discovery, as soon as the troops move off, the proprietors and their tenants leave their hiding-places, and recommence their attacks with more vigour than before.- In La Vendee the Chouans and the ignorant and priest-ridden peasants, who believe in their consciences that they shall be sentenced to eternal perdition if they do not espouse the cause of legitimacy, and, if necessary, die in its defenc_s, live in houses wh!ch are protected from discovery and from attack. The fields are surrounded with ditches and hedges—the cabin is in the centre of the field—the crops surround it —any one ap proaching the dwelling may be perceived, but the house cannot be discovered (especially when the crops are growing) until you are actually arrived at the door of the habitation ; and then a small armed force may destroy in a few minutes a far superior number of King's troops, or even national guards. The Chouans and Vendeans are all armed. They can fire a musket with an accuracy not even surpassed by a Swiss rifleman : and though their guns are often bad, they make up for this deficiency by their adroitness. For months past La Vendee has been supplied with guns and gunpowder, as well as with shot, from England and from Paris. Sometimes the trading-boats have been seized, and the contents of packages from this capital ascertained and laid hold of; but though, out of ten parcels, perhaps three have been seized, still the other seven have reached their destination ; and 'tis thus that five departments of the west are nom well munitioned. You will now be disposed to ask, from whence proceed the funds necessary to purchase their mus kets, shot and powder; and who is at the head of this western movement in Paris ? I must answer this inquiry by a fact which will, perhaps, startle you and render you indignant ;—but it is a fact of vast importance, and it is too true and too alarming to be cancelled! The funds are not supplied by the King or the Government, the Royal Family, the Peers, the Deputies, or the Carlists of France. The Carlists never spend their own money. They will expend as much as they can get hold of of the money of others, but never of their own. Nor are the funds supplied by the ex- Royal Family at Holyrood. It has not the means. We know it does not posses them. We know what the Bourbons took with them even to a farthing; we know what they have received since; and we know that they have not the means of paying their sup porters. But though the money does not come from the private purses of Charles X. and the Duchesses of D'Angouleme or Berri, yet it is certain that the funds arrive from Holyrood and its agents. This money is contributed by Foreign Powers!! The Governments of Holland, Russia, Prussia, Austria, Naples, Sardinia, and even Spain (bankrupt as that Government is in character as well as in resources) have all largely contributed to get up a civil war in France, as they still entertain the intention of at tacking the Revolution of July. The Duchess of Berri is the medium by which these funds are di vided arid expended. Some she sends to French Royalists in Spain —some to La Vendee —some to Paris —some to the Press—some to her friends, the Priests —and some to her supporters in Governmen t offices, who are still as indefatigably occupied as ever, though they receive the money of the Revolution, and profess to be the servants of the State, in ex citing an opposition everywhere to all liberal insti tutions, and to the progress of civilization and hu man happiness. The civil war in the west has at length attracted the attention of our anti-national Government—and in a moment of desperation, and after having re ceived despatches from the south from the Duke of Orleans, declaring that he had everywhere heard complaints and reproaches instead of cheers or con fidence, has resolved on placing about one hundred and fifty communes in a state of siege ! ! This is perhaps a necessary though a strong measure. But it is adopted too late. The National Guards of the west, if they had been confided in by the Govern ment of Louis-Philippe, instead of being mistrusted and despised, would long ere this have closed the war. They have applied hundreds of times to be allowed to engage in contest with those Chouans and Vendeans, and to settle the conflict by an ap peal to arms. This application has been refused not once, but fifty times—and yet now, the Govern ment is obliged to apply to the men it formerly re jected, in order to enable it to cope with the Royalist army. Of the propriety and legality of declaring 150 communes in a state of siege, I shall not now speak. The evil is great and pressing, and we must not quibble about the means; but one thing is certain, that but for the conduct of the Go vernment, this measure of exception would never have been necessary. It may be so now. The lives and property of the innocent may now suffer for those of the guilty. Cannon-balls, bombs, mar tial law, and the destruction of property, may now be essential; but it is a fearful responsibility to sign such an Ordinance ! And whilst Louis-Phi lippe is thus securing the enmity of five depart ments, and the conspiracies of some thousands of Carlists and Royalists against his dynasty, he is ac tually ordering Republicans and Buonapartists to be put in prison !—the National and the Tribune to be seized I —and the Society of " The Friends of the People" to be driven out of its place of meet ing, by an armed police, and at the point of the bayonet !! You will be prepared then for the question of "To what are we hastening ?" Not to a state of satisfaction—not to one of calm and peace—not to the union of parties in favour of Louis-Phillippe— not to a quiet settling down to our farms, and our merchandise, and our family and social duties and pleasures. No, no, there is nothing which indicates the return of peace, satisfaction, or happiness. " To what then are we hastening ?" I answer, to another Revolution ! In favour of whom ? Why, in favour of the people! Mark that if you please. We have no intention to make a revolution in favour of A B or C D, but in favour of all the alphabet. As the National says, so says France, " No more Bourbons"—and the seizure of the National for saying this proves nothing, except that Louis- Philippe is counselled by blockheads. Do you ask rne, "Is there yet time to save the dynasty of Louis Philipp e ?" I answer, I think not ! A war against Russia for the independence of Poland—and the union of Belgium to France, might produce a mo mentary impression in favour of the reigning dy nasty ; but it has too much insulted the national opinion —too much wounded national sympathies— and too much defied the wishes and hopes of France, to be permanently forgiven. We tire, then, very rapidly hastening towards a revolution, the end of which will be and must be a republic. To-morrow I purpose writing my fifth and last letter on the question of, "How will all this ter minate in Great Britain ?" Your obedient servant, 0. P. Q. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, JUNX 6 ROYAL ASSENT. The Royal assent was giren, by Commission, at Five o'clock, to the Insolvent Debtors' Continuance Bill, and thirteen private Bills. The Commissioner. were the Loan CHANCELLOR, Lord SIIAFTESBURY and Lord DURHAM. ANTI-REFORM PEERS' PROTEST. Lord ELLENBOROUGH moved that the time allowed for Peers tosign the Protest against the Reform Bill be enlarg ed to the rising of the House to-morrow. The House resolved yesterday to enlarge the time till this evening; but the number of Peers who wished to sign the Protest was so great, that it would be impossible for them to have an opportunity of doing so, unless the time were enlarged, as he moved.—Motion agreed to. RIESSAGE FROM THE GONIRIONS.-REFORM BILL. Lord Joins .

NATIONAL CEMETERY BILL. On the motion of the Marquess of LANSDOWNE, cer tain standing orders were dispensed with, in order to faci litate the passing of the Bill. IRELAND. The Duke of BUCKINGHAM presented a petition from the Lord Lieutenant, High Sheriff, and Magistrates of Queen's County, praying for an inquiry into the laws for the preservation of the peace in Ireland, with a view to their amendment. He would not raise a discussion upon Ireland at the present moment, but he thought this petition so important that he begged to move that it be read at length. It was read by the Clerk accordingly. Lord BODES gave notice that on Tuesday, the 19th June, he should bring the state of Ireland under the con sideration of the House. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of and the House adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, Jr, .vz 6. Mr. Alderman WOOD presented a petition from the General Cemetery Company, praying to be heard against the Birmingham and Landon Railway Bill, on the ground that their interests will be affected by the proposed rail way running through their property at Kensington. —Re ferred to the Committee. Mr. SHAW presented petitions from Youghall and the parish of Kilwheen, county of Cork, against the proposed system of national education in Ireland; also a petition from the Corporation of Weavers iu Cork, praying that their privilege s of freemen may be continued in the Reform Bill. Mr. O'CONNELL presented a petition from the Irish National Political Union, relative to the Irish Reform Bill. The petitioners complained of the great injustice done them by the inequality of the proposed representation as compared with England, an inequality that would tend to the separation of the two countries. They only wished to be placed on the same footing as the constituency of Eng land. They had exhibited certain details, in order to show that they ought to be placed on a better footing than that on which the Bill would place them ; and showed that, taking the population as a basis, they were most unjustly treated. The population of England was sixteen millions, and that of Ireland (exclusive of certain omissions in the census, one of which was the omission of thirty thousand in Dublin alone) was seven millions. The Deputy Usher of the Black Rod here entered the House, and summoned the House to the House of Lords, to hear the Royal Assent given by Commission to certain Bills, for the names of which see the Lords' report. On the return of the SPEAKER, Mr. O'CONNELL proceeded to state, that in point of population alone Ireland would be unjustly treated. But it had been said that Ireland was very deficient in point of revenue. It was said that while the revenue of England was 48,000,0004 that of Ireland was only 4,000,000/. That was erroneous, for it appeared by the Parliamentary documents that the duty on tea consumed in Ireland, which alone was 50,0001. a year, as well as the duties on many other articles consumed in that country, were charged i❑ England, and credited to the English revenue instead of the Irish. All commodities from the East paid their duty in England, although a great portion was consumed in Ireland. Those duties added to the published revenue of Ireland would amount to one-seventh of the English revenue, and therefore, according to that proportion, the petitioners con tended that Ireland should have 147 members. He had, however, never asked for more than 125. The petitioners also prayed for the restoration of the 40s. freeholders in fee, and for an extension of the constituency by reducing the 10/. qualification to 71. and for allowing fourteen years' leaseholders to be on the same footing as a freeholder for life. According to the proposed qualification for borough repre sentation, many boroughs would be merely nomination boroughs, for there was hardly one that could boast of more than 200 voters, and many not 120 ; so that a person with a few thousand pounds could command the majority of votes in any of the boroughs. It would also lead to per jury, corruption, and drunkenness, which was much worse than the present system, by which one agent could meet another agent, and one pay over to the other a certain sum of money for a seat. The petition deserved the most serious attention of the House, and he was confi dent the grievances complained of, by which Ireland was placed on such an inferior footing, as compared with Eng land, would tend to separate the two countries, which he hoped never to see accomplished, and to which he certainly never would consent.—(Hear, hdr.) Mr. CRAMPTON did not rise for the pupose of en tering into any premature discussion on the Irish Reform Bill, but he trusted, when the Bill came on for further consideration, he should be able to show most clearly that the statements of the Hon. Member for Kerry were very inaccurate, and founded on most erroneous conclusions. If the constituency in open towns was a subject now for reprehension from the Hon. Member, on account of the riot and drunkenness it occasioned, what, he would ask, would it be when it was transferred from property to population ? Mr. SHAW firmly believed that the carrying of the Irish Reform Bill would lead to a repeal of the Union, and ultimately to a separation of the two countries. Mr. SHEIL called upon the Government attentively to consider how far they would be able, in principle and de tail, to assimilate the Irish with the English Reform Bill. In order to content the Irish people, the Bill must be sa tisfactory. Mr. O'CONNELL was quite sure that the certain mode of insuring a repeal of the Union was to give the Irish people an unfair Reform Bill. The Hon. Member also complained of the difficulties attending the registra tion of votes in Ireland. Mr. GRATTAN concurred with the observations that had fallen from the Hon. Member for Kerry relative to the difficulties in the registration of votes, and he felt certain the people of Ireland would look for a repeal of the Union, unless they had a fair Reform Bill. Mr. I3EAUMONT thought Ireland ought to be treated with equal justice with England, and should be most happy to give his assistance to the Hon. Member for Kerry in any measure that he conceived would tend to the good of that country. After some observations from Colonel Perceval, Captain Gordon, Mr. Blackney, and Mr. Shaw, the petition was ordered to be printed. Mr. O'CONNELL presented a petition from Carrick on-Suir, praying that that town might have a representa tive under the Reform Bill for Ireland. The petition was supported by Messrs. SIIEIL and WybE ; and after a few words from Mr. CALLAGHAN and Sir R. I 3 ATEs ox it was ordered t o b e p r i n t e d. Mr. O'CONNELL then presented a petition from the Council of the Kidderminster Political Union, praying h i nd; and o ne from Duntotar, agreed upon on the 11th might have as effici en t a R e f orm Bill as Eng :l; that i Ireland a p nd ray ng the House to ref use a ll su pplies till the Reform Bill was safe. The Learned Gentleman took that opportunity o f inquiring whether the Irish Jury B i ll was abandoned in the House of Lords. Mr. CRAMPTON said the Bill was being considered in a Committee, from whom a report was expected every day. Mr. RUTHVEN presented a petition from Dublin, praying for two more Members for that city under the Irish Reform Bill. If justice was not granted to the people of Ireland as well a. to the people of England, it COURT OF CHANCERY. Mr. .1. CAMPBELL wished to ask hie Majesty's Go. vernment a question of great public interest. Some im provements had been promised in the Court of Chancery, and he wished to know what hope there was that any Bill for the improvement of that Court would be introduced into the House. Another subject to which be wished to refer, was the salary of the Lord Chancellor. It would be recollected that a Bill passed last Session, which deprived that officer of part of his salary. Was there any hope that a Bill would be brought in to regulate the salary of the Lord Chancellor? Lord ALTHORP replied, that it was his intention to submit a Bill to the House for the regulation of the Lord Chancellor's salary, and he believed that an Hon. and Learned Member had charged himself with bringing in a Bill to regulate the Court of Chancery. Sir C. WETHERELL said a few words, which were not understood in the gallery. Mr. SPENCE said Bills for the reform of the Court of Chancery bad been under the consideration of the Lord Chancellor ; and be had undertaken, by the authority of the Lord Chancellor, to bring forward a Bill for the regu lation of one branch of the subject—namely, that of the Master's Office. The Bill for that purpose bad been pre pared, and was ready to be laid before Parliament ; but on further consideration it was thought better that a measure should be brought in for the regulation of the Master's Office, the Registrar's Office, and all the other offices con nected with that Court. A Bill for this purpose had been prepared, and would be submitted to Parliament. Another Bill was in preparation to shorten pleadings in Chancery, and he believed that one of these Bills would be submitted to Parliament soon after Whitsuntide, and the other before the end of the session. COURT OF CHANCERY (IRELAND). Mr. SHAW moved the second reading of the Court of Chancery (Ireland) Bill. Mr. CRAMPTON opposed the Bill as unnecessary. All the orders that were necessary would be sure to he adopted by the Lord Chancellor with the least possible delay. The Bill would degrade the Court of Chancery. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman moved that the Bill be read a s2cond time that day six months. Mr. SHAW admitted that the Master of the Rolls ap proved of the Bill, and had informed him that the repeal of one of the orders alone would have been a saving of 6,0001. per annum to the suitors of this Court. What he complaiped of was, that 15,0001. per annum were paid to the officers of the Court for compensation for the loss of fees which they still received, and would continue to re ceive, unless the orders were revised. He only wanted some pledge that this should be the case. Mr. RUTHVEN moved that the House be counted. Mr. SHAW expressed his surprise, and wished to under stand what was meant. If the Government would fix a time for revising the orders, he would withdraw his Bill. Mr. CRAMPTON intimated that the orders were under consideration. He could not fix any time, but he thought the Hon. Gentleman's object would be fully an swered before his Bill could be brought into operation. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, but the House did not divide, and we understand that upon Mr. Crampton's assurance, Mr. Shaw withdrew the Bill. LIVERPOOL FRANCHISE BILL. It was proposed that this Bill should be postponed, in consequence of the illness of Mr. Benett. Mr. RIGBY WASON said, that if the Government continued to postpone the Bill in that manner, he should advise his Hon. Friend to abandon it altogether. The King's County Assizes Bill was then read a third time and passed. PRIVILEGE OF PARLIAMENT BILL. The question having been put, that the Speaker leave the Chair, Mr. O'CONNELL rose to move that the Bill should be committed that day six months. During the time that a large proportion of the Members of that House were re presentatives, not of the people, but nominees of indivi duals, no such Bill was ever dreamt of. Nay, it was well known that persons had been taken out of gaol and intro duced into that House. But now that the people were really to select their own representatives, this Bill was introduc e d to operate as a check on their free choice ; for he did not hesitate to say, that its object and operation were to confine the choice of the constituency to the moneyed in terest, or to men of large landed property. It was, in point of fact, introducing a new qualification. It should be re membered that the protection from arrestgiven to the Mem ber was not a protection to him personally, but a pro tection to his constituents, or assurance that their interests were not to be neglected.—(Hear.) On that principle, therefore, the Bill was a wrong one. Let them make what qualification they thought proper ; but having taken that precaution with regard to a candidate, let them re member, that the candidate once chosen, the privilege belonged not to him, but to his constituents. It was so much the custom to attribute personal motives to men in these times, that be thought it right to say, that there were few men whom it would affect less than him ; be believed that he derived a larger revenue from landed property than any of the last four Members for his county. Another ground on which he ,objected to it was, that it recognized the general right for arrest for debt. He thought no arrest ought ever to be permitted for debt, except after a judicial sentence, when it would be rather in the nature of criminal punishment. Another objection was, that it would throw too great a power into the hands of the millionaires, of those who had amassed large fortunes by those funds which he did not consider the most moral means, where an insurrection, or a good astounding lie, well circulated, put, perhaps, a million into a man's pocket : it would enable these men to obtain a control over the votes of Members of Parliament in either House. It would give rise to a system of purchasing up judgments, mortgages, and incumbrances on the estates of Members of the Legislature, which, though perfectly solvent, they might not be able to satisfy on a short notice, and thus a very unfitting control over their votes would be obtained. He objected to give wealth more power than it had already. In his opinion it had already too much; it did not lead to happiness, and he thought the accumulation of masses of wealth into a few hands was the great evil of this country. Mr. A. BARING, after apologizing to the House for pressing this Bill forward on the present occasion, said that the Learned Gentleman the Member for Kerry (Mr. O'Connell) seemed to consider the measure as being in some degree connected with the Reform Bill. Now this was not the case, for it would be in the recollection of many Members of the House, that he had mentioned the subject nearly two years ago (certainly before the Reform Bill was even thought of), and that his proposition had been favourably received. Undoubtedly, however, there were circumstances which rendered the change he pro posed more necessary under the old system than it would be under the new ; but still he was prepared to contend, that what he proposed would be for the advantage of tthe country, and calc u l a ted t o a dd t o th e h onour a n d dignity of the House. After briefly recapitulating the various privileges enjoyed by the Members of the House of Com mons from a very early period, the Hon. Member pro ceeded to argue, that any exclusive privileges claimed by the House of Cqmmons were a gross insult to the country, if it could not be shown tnat tie enjoyment of them ena bled a representative to perform, in a more efficient man ner, his duty to his constituents. What he now proposed was a mere following up of the spirit of the Constitution. If the Hon. and Learned Member thought any qualifica tion necessary, and he (Mr. Baring) apprehended the Learned Gentleman would scarcely deny it, then surely he could not complain of a change which went to render the qualification real, and not nominal, and to prevent men from entering that House in order to defeat the just claims of their creditors. He did not like to enter into particu lars, because it might be offensive to the feelings of con nexions of men who had been Members of that House, but he could mention many who had evaded the payment of their debts by obtaining a seat is that House with the money of their creditors. He had already alluded to the case of Barton. There was also that of a man named Mills, who had actually defrauded his creditors of 23,0001. through the means of these privileges, which seemed to be thought necessary for the support of the honour and dignity of that House. The Learned Gentleman said that the Bill was arraying the rich against the poor. It was The motion was agreed to ; the House resumed ; and tie Chairman obtained leave to sit again onWednesday next. RRESTMENT FOR WAGES' (SCOTLAND) BILL. Mr. DICKSON said that this Bill stood for the ,econd reading for to-night, but that he understood from the Law authorities, that there were some legal objections to the ,•lauses of it as it now stood ; and that these objections %ere of too extensive a nature to be remedied in Com :ixttte session . sst ile . should, th ere f ore , postpone the Bill until the It was accordingly ordered to be read a second time his day six months. On the motion of Mr. Alderman WOOD, the lurtlier o isideration of the Report of the Committee on the Steam VerrieJOßilinNw"HfiOxPed f E a 6 a r k i e : d ril t a h Y e n N ex o t. Noble Lord whether it (PRICE 7D.) iught to be no matttr of surprise that a repeal of the Union was demanded. Mr. O'CONNELL supported the prayer of the petition ; ind said that the Lord Mayor of Dublin (a high Ascen• fancy man), who had presided at the meeting, had stated, that if justice was not rendered to Ireland, he for one would join in demanding a Repeal of the Union.—Petitio❑ to be printed. On the motion of Mr. S. RICE, a new writ was ordered to be issued for Hampshire, in the room of Sir J. Macdo nald, who had accepted the office of Commissioner of the lonian Islands. ' t he very reverse. It was a Bill intended to protect the .00r against the rich ; to prevent the honest tradesman rom being defrauded of his just demands by those who vere dishonest enough to plead the privileges of Parlia tient.—(llear, hear.) The Learned Gentleman had alluded to the power which the Bill would give certain rich capitalists, or men supposed to hatbitlgreat deal of ready money. He (Mr. Baring) did not know whether the Learned Member meant to throw out any insinuatio n tgainst him ; but if he did, he could tell him, that he hao oo claim against the property of any Member of that House. Having thus, he conceived, replied to all the o'n j.ctions of the Learned Gentleman, he would merely ob serve, that persona well acquainted with the subject hail informed him that a man could not be arrested (at least very speedily) for a debt contracted in the shape of mortgage. li e was quite willing, however, should the fact prove otherwise, to introduce a clause with respect to the •o curities on landed property, for the purpose of protect. ing debtors under such circumstances. When he first proposed to bring in the Bill, it had been his intention, after a certain period, to allow a Member to be arrested ; but persons of legal knowledge and experience having taken objections to the connexion of arrest with the Members of that House, he now proposed that a Member should have thirty days' notice of the claim on him, and if in thirty more it was not satisfied, then his seat would be de dared vacant, and the creditor would he left to enforce his claim against him like any other individual. With respect to the law affecting bankrupts, passed in the 52d George 111., he believed it had been found extremely alt. surd and inconvenient. At the present moment the seat was not filled up fora year and ten days if the bankrupt refuses to sign it, so that for the whole of that time the place was without a representative. He proposed in the present Bill to amend that law, and to declare the seat va. cant at the expiration of six days from the issue of the fiat of bankruptcy. Having stated thus much, he was quite ready to give any other explanation that might be considered necessary, if the House consented to go into Committee on the Bill. Mr. JOHN CAMPBELL assured the Hon. Member for Thetford that the Member for Kerry was quite right, in his opinion, with respect to the power of arresting for mortgage debts; and he thought it would be necessary, therefore, to introduce a clause to the effect he had men tioned. The other parts of the Bill had his most cordial support, as enforcing the principle of Reform by adding to the respectability of the House, and enabling them to gain back the confidence of the people. Mr. BERNAL hoped the Member for Thetford would introduce the clause with respect to landed property at once. He had intended to oppose the motion for the Speaker's leaving the chair; but as the Hon. Member for Thetford intimated his disposition to introduce the clause respecting mortgagees in the Committee, instead of delay ing it until the bringing up of the Report, he would re frain from doing so. Mr. LAMBERT, however unpopular it might be, and however well it might sound that every Member of that House ought to pay his debts, must oppose the motion for going into a Committee on this Bill. In his opinion, if the measure were adopted, it would derogate from the dignity and independence of the House. Any Member of that House, who having for necessary and indispensable purposes, mortgaged his estate, and entered into a bond giving a warrant to confess judgment, might, if this Bill were passed, be arrested by any party having the sommand of money, at a critical moment, tOr political purposes, or even fur similar purposes by the agents of a foreign power. Such an abandonment of their privileges would prove a check to the freedom of debate, and to independence of sentiment. A respectable merchant, if a Member of Par lisment, might, under such circumstances, have a run made upon him which would not be made were he not a Member of Parliament. A Member of Pat liament would thus he placed in a worse situation than anybody else. Mr. STEPHENSON approved of the principle of the Bill ; but wished that the Hon. Member for Thetford would delay proceeding with it, in order that he might avail himself of the suggestions which had been thrown out in the course of the present discussion. Mr. C. FERGUSSON thought that the great evil which the Bill had been introduced to remedy had arisen from the total abuse of the law respecting the qualification of Members. The principle of that law was, that no man should sit in that House to levy contributions on his coun trymen who had not himself the means of contributing, It was undoubtedly intended by that law to insure that persons sitting in that House not only should be solvent, but should be possessed of some property. With respect to the present measure, he was favourable to the principle of it ; but it was evident that the details required more consideration than could that evening be given to them. Mr. WYNN had hardly ever known a measure intro. duced into that House respecting which he felt so much doubt and difficulty. That no Member of that House should be subject to arrest was one of the most ancient privileges which the House possessed, and ought not to be hastily abandoned. With respect to the law of quake ficatien to which the Honourable Member for Kirkouris bright had just alluded, it was well known that that law required the representative of a borough to have landed property of the value of 3001. a year, and the represen tative of a county to have landed property of the value of 6001. a year ; but the actual practice was also well known. Did Mr. Pitt, or Mr. Fox, or Mr. Sheridan possess such a qualification ? And would it have been de sirable that on that account such men should be excluded from that House? Would it have been desirable that men, to whom forty years ago the country looked up 4s to their political creed, should have been thus deprived of their Parliamentary character? Reflecting on these things, he must really pause before he could determine to give his assent to the proposed measure. The Right Hon. Gentleman here entered into a statement of some of its, details; and proceeded to observe, that it was not hard upon any person who gave credit to a man already Member of Parliament, that he should be preveotod front arresting that man, mile knew beforehand of the privilege by which a Member of Parliament wait protected ; but it undoubtedly was hard that a Member should be free from arrest for debts contracted before he became a Member, and when the creditor, therefore, could have no warning. If the House went into a Committee on the Bill, he boped it would only be pro forma, in order that it might be recommitted on some future day—for, altheugh there was much in the measure very desirable, there was also much which required deliberate consideration. Lord ALTHORP was undoubtedly of opinion that it was most desirable that insolvent persons should not be elected to sit, and should not sit in that House. But the Hon. Member for Thetford must feel that there wets. many difficulties in the way of adopting the measure under consideration in its present shape. It was evident that the effect of the Bill, as it now stood, would be to place a man who was a Member of Parliament in a worse situation than a man who was not a Member of Par liatnent. For the Bill, as it stood, might be applied to a person being a Member of Parliament, who was, nevertheless, perfectly solvent—and, notice being giver to him, under the provisions of the Bill, be might be expelled from that House, if ha had not the means of immediately satisfying the demand upon him._ With respect to what had fallen from the Honout - able Member for Kirkcudbright respecting the law of qualification, in his (Lord Althorp's) opinion, that law stood on a very good footing at present. If a Membet was not the actual and bona fide possessor of a qualifica tion, he must at least have sufficient character to be in trusted with one.--(A laugh.) It appeared to him that there were so many difficulties in the way of adopting the measure in its present shape, that he hoped the Hon. Member for Thetford would be prevailed upon to rece,o, eider it. In discussing the question, they ought n9i to look to the preservation or the abandonment: of In ; vileges of Members as a matter of a peragnal Stature ; they ought to consider how far the interests of their constituents might be damaged by 4 diminution of those privilegeo, Mr. GODSON instanced various cases in whet; th e . operation of the Bill would be injurious. Mr. BARING proposed that they Amid go it to Committee pro forma, to fill up the blanks of the I3ilh mitt to have it recommitted this day week, when be would bring up his clause, and the amendments might be pro posed, and the House might deal with the measure as it thought proper. After a few words from Mr. WRANGHAM, in oppo sition to the Bill, the House divided— For the Amendment 39 For the Committee Majority —33 The House then went into the Commiett•epro forma. Mr. BARING proposed that the Bill should be coin iiitted on this day fortnight, and that in the mean time the Bill as reported should be printed. This day was published, S econ d Edi t i on , in 3 vols. post Bvo. CA V E N D I S H; Or, THE. PATRICIAN AT SEA.
