'; r also spoke shortly in : favour of the Bill. Mi. MARTIN Of G'ilway) adverted - to the' loud lamentations he had beard over the 'dead corpse of the Cohslitutionl and renmked,. that he had often observed that ,thrise. who'were foudest an their lamentations oftenfeel the, least, and even that sometimes they•ha.ve proVed accessary to_ tine death. It` hacrt been said that the Constitution has been vio fated; in his, 'opinion; a part had only been . 'l4er;Ecled to save the loud . laugh)—he the :itihole Ad only been sacrificed to save a• part icontiiitlekt • hursts.of laughter from all sides Of the lloute)... He gave his warmest support to the Bill . ' • • . . The A men dm ent was , put an d . .negatived, the hrigi.t ii Miitida . agreed to, and the Bill read a third time. ' Mr. .701INSTONE moved an Amendment, to limit the time during which the Protection granted by the Bill, shall'extend to the termination of the 'War. Mr„WIER ID Affenteresl ;it great length into an txaminatbn of the'.argnments'which hail been used iii favour of 'the liifl, . eicpresSed his indignation at the silent : manner in which. Ministers seemed to in tend •to . reject :this Amendment, contended, that the Constitution is destroyed L—that there •is no I'OP of any change of s> stein — . that the spirit of the people, their evident attachment to their Sovereign, their quiet itibinission to the las; s, their patient endUrante.Of the burdens imposed -on them, and even of the pressure of famine, now; if ever, entitle theM to be freed frorn'the restraints imposed on their liberties. He inveighed against the Bill, us the matt monstrous and abotninable that ever disgraced the British Senate. He adverted to the figurative langtiage'used by Mr. LETe:II and Mr. Matti iespeCting the restraints which have been imposed on the Liberties of the Country. 1-le argued, that the latter Gentleman, while he so elegantly de. scribed the ,howl at-an Irish Funeral, yet -admitted, " ur there is a duid body—that the constitution is dead. fOrmer Holl..Gentleman called these melt. pores, lines: of cirtumvallation and bulwarks of the ConstitatiOn . he allowed all this to be . very good, if .these bult,vatki are not built out of the materials of the fortress, .itd nothing is left to be defended by them but the g- onntt on which the fortress stood. Ile 'was as mien afraid as the Noble Lord, of French Pfincipies„ but his fear was of the present French Principk—the servile spirit of submission, the sordid nail of personal interest—the fawning .ittidcritigiegi e nce to Omer, however wickedly t„.:494otitc4i,X exereisett. He was indeed - ttiniid of itiflt apprehended, the introduaion of these principles into tl,i- Country. He next argued that the dangers t " tli(s- Constitution were much greater in former horn. the zealous attachment which long c - ' l 5 l O _.anteing great titiMbers of the people to the Holise of STUART, than it is at present, Of ever has been, froth the principles of laeobinicm ; *and that yet in these times resort wad neter had, except in cases °Patted and open Rebellion, to such a sys , teinof measures as has of late been adopted. The ot)jea of the War had,originally been to restore the cd bench Government, and as this had failed, he :.:ontended, that it appeaa.tosilat.int.t4ed to estAblishii its- .prineiplett- in this . Country. He enumerated These prinetpleh.and compared - them_ with those of the system .adopted by the la ; , ,r: and present Mini, titers. ivas afraid that the result will be the sane, to 'render tlie government OdiOuS to the peo.: Plc. IVIr;SHERIOAN then proceeded to animadvert !ritlimneh severity On the conduit of the late and Present Ministers, relativeto the time at whiCh this Pleasure is brought forward, which, he insited, must give strong suspicions -of a juggle bet Ween them. nek.t subject upon which be wished to-say a few words, waOrelatal, and he argued that the .rebel. !ion in that Country as little originated in faro. Diti 'principles as in an alteration of the Gentoo lawi. , greartnasl of those engaged in the Rebellion' of was not influeneectby Jacobinicalbrig c ) 1 1 ) les) but owing to that degradation they . felt themselves placed in on account of religiou's diffe, rences, and the Poor altitost starving, and the feel. ings, in the minds of , Irishmen from the pppressed- State of Ireland for.near '3OO yearS: . But since:. the event of the. Union, he was convince there'.was no salvation for. either Country, but-to stand or fall _together. The'ComMittee who had made their ,Repent, he ciinsidered to liave been egregiously. im. Posed "Pon. He had beard Maidstone alvys men tioned as an instance of his incredulity, and those with whinn hogenetally aeted; because they would' tI • :eve the reports of - Plots, and join in the its!' measures then proposed against them.—[Hs `brf" ente re d. into a , vindication of his evidence give?: art O'Connor's Trial.]—But if the Country,, as staled, detested Chose Jacohinical Ptinelples, and 4u hOrred those whO were so incredulous as lo the n ex Cent of the Plots, surely then the state .of the %•ountry was.. not such as to require such an arbi_ 4 "Y violation of, the Constitution as what'Was r tv proposed. .He .suspected a' great deal of olitical' Craft, as to those who furnished Illa 1P.1413 - for the Reports of 'the Comntittee.' . If • 10 4 Aft of Indemnity be passed, the innocent r ' t s°n would never be able to look forward to the "'lt 'when. he could retrieve the injury done- him, ~ \ a nd the hardened spys'l:.ould never want proteaion. 71 ". Siti k t).l, then proCteded to treat what was stated in the Report, of the intended insurreilion at ennington; with ridicule, He acknowledged that es% ) I tie and arbitrary 'Governments, if Wen Anti- • tereal were in some resivas, preferable ; but he ..o r , • • skleted it as the' excellence of the British Con 41hitiOn that 'these 10 vzintages Were sacrificed for ' the •_ sake pt.Generallice.edam. Tie 47'7ORNEY GENF:R-4 1 4 said, he had no 4 °Uht but that the cOmplaints of - the. Petitioners ' rout(' b e f oun d to b e exaggerated and groun dl ess, , 4 t if not, t h e Law would still be open to them after the Nil was:passed. 'He repudiated the in !)inuatiou that - the whole of, the Report was a mere ludicrous affef—ttion of .seriousness, and declared, he felt a conviel " ion, notwithstanding the verdieis of that a foul treason h.;(1 been hatched. The ~ertliet of A ju r y screen the party accused. 12:91T1 punishrnent, •but still he considered himself free to j u d ge of the guilt or innocence of e parties accused, after the' vertlia, as before. rle venerated Lib erty as much as the most zealous P 4 trior, but he was always willing to make a tern twat* sacrifice a a - 'paiit to Treteri e. the whiale for ever: Belt the sacrifice was- notimaterisl ; it was merely the.confinement of -a feW individuals as the means of protetling the rest of the comthunity from the horrors transaeled in . France. If we cam pared the roll ~ of i'mprisonmenta onder .Roaas. PIERRE; &c: for Doe week, and these,measnres of ours, adopted for the security, of our cOmmerce, the loyalty of our' Armies, and the good of the whole, we should form the most striking contrast. He believed there was not.one of these imprisoned but what was implicated in some degree in treasonable plots, and that such' detentions had been one means of preserving the Empire during the most eventful period of our history.. The Petitions'now read ap peared to him to be pregnant with the. same bitter falsehoods asbad been lately witnessed in an attack upon Aris in the Courts below. He Would ask, were there no remains of French principles ih a.state of pre paration No Plans of Assassination ? System of Atheism ? 'No attempts to corrupt the Virtue,of our Sailors ? He was as .much attached to the House of Hanover as any man; but he considered what the Hon. Gentleman had said about the Jacobites ; to be a slander on that description of persons, when corn pared with the Jacobins of the present day. The former were misguided men, but there was no destia tution of moral principle, no treachery of Servants against - Masteri, as had been atled upon in Frante.— The Hon. Gentleman insinuated, that there was no Jaeobinism in Ireland ; but that the. discontents pro ceeded from other causes ;. but did not o'Costiaoa hims4lf acknowledge, that these afiedged causes of discontent were a mere blind ; and that the real objea was, that of dissevering Ireland from this Country, and uniting it with France? He totally objcded to . the Amendment. Dr.. LAWRENCE reprobated what appeared to him .the r principle 'of the Learned Gentleman, that we had a right topraaise oppression, with a view of preventing greater evils; such was the, system that fostered the Revolution of France ; but the only question was, whether these persons, if innocent,. were to have any means of redress allowed them ? This Bill appeared to him not only Unprecedented, but, to be against all precedents. The former Bills were an Amnestrtoiodividuals, but contained no vindi cation of Government for afting contrary to Law. The danger from French principles was not near •so great now as in 1793, and in those intervals of time when.the Habeas Corpus Ad was not, susl'end. ed. Even by the acknowledgmeht of now, French principles w e re, no t , so d angerous now, since they had avowedly labou re d a f ter a connexion with France, and, had stated their hopes of' such con. flexion, which formerly they would hare coo -1 sidered ruinous to have done ; it was strange then, when the danger was lessened, that, such measures should be resorted to. As he believed none of the persons arrested were without goad 'grounds of sus picion, be thought the better way would be to al low them, if they pleased, to bring their aftion§, and tor - Ministers to put 'themselves on their defence, and for the Country, the'Verdid of a Joey, to decide in their favoUr. Mr. ALEXANDER, in answer to - what Mr. SF' Bain 6.t had. said'respeelie k r the catisei of the went over the grounds and history of that event ; and in answer to Dr. LAWRENCE he remarked, that if those Who had been confined were suffered, to bring forward Law•-suits„ it .would,tend to revive the' spirit of a Party, and produce-dis. cussions which had tritieh Letter be avoided. . Mi . . S'n trigma and Dr. LAwaucE explained. The Question was now loudly called for. The House then divided—Against the Amend ment -49 z—ror ii 2 47=—Majoriry 75. Another division took place upon the .passing of Ihe Bill, and the numbers' were for the Bill 85— , Against it 15--..MajOrity 70. The Irish Tea 'Duty Bili was read 'a second and ordered to be committed. to.morrov e The seeond reading of the irisit 'Ele6tion Bill' was pui off till to-morrow. The other Orders of the Day were then post. poned, and at half past.two,d'elock. the:House ad. journed till to-inorrow—(tbis day). THE SUN. SOLEM QUIS DICEKL Ynt SUM AUDI.% ? LONDON, JUNE 12, SO.
