Lord HOLLAND inquired whether and when it was the in tention of the' Noble Earl opposite to move the second reading of the Scotch Magistrates' Residence Bill? -The Earl of LIVERPOOL was understood to say tomor row. The Irish Commercial Credit Bill, the Greenland Fisheries Bill, the Isle of Man Postage Bill, and the BArrack's Estate Bill, went respectively through Committees, and were reported. On 'themOtmn of Lord HoLLAND, a messagq was ordered'to he sent to the Commons for a copy of the Report of the Om missioners respecting New South Virales.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. This day the House sat by Commission.—The SPEAKER informed the House that the Royal Assent had been given to several public and private Bills (for which see the Lords). Mr. BROGDEN brought up the. Report of the Exchequer Bills Bill. _ _ _ Militia • The a Pay Bill was read a third time and passed. - IRISH TITHES LEASING BILL. The CHANCELLOR, of the _EXCHEQUER having moved the third reading of this Bill, Colonel TRENCH said, that he' had on'a forther occasion been represented to say, that the distress of the county of .Mayo was at an end. What he had said was, that that distress had been much abated, and would be still more abated by the crop of potatoes which would fall in a few weeks; but the in terval was one of the most fearful and anxious kind. There were no less than 360,000 persons in the county of Mayo alone who were receiving relief. The Hon. Gentleman in conclusion warmly praised the conduct of the Executive Government, as well as the British Public, by the charitable exertions of whom the miseries of the population of Ireland were in a great meal sure averted. Sir W. DE CRESPIGNY hoped, that the causes of dis tress would be considered by the Irish Government ' • he was not overfriendly to the system of Poors' Rates, but if nothing more effectual could be done, he hoped the Poore Rate would be introduced. . Mr: Secretary GOULBURN. bore testimony. to the public spirited and disinterested exertions of the Members of the Dublin Commission. . _ Mt. IDIE took that opportunity of correcting a statement which appeared in an Irish Paper. lie had been made to say, that he objected to, the appointment of Mr. Plunkett, on the ground ofhis deficiency in point of professional attainments; he had never used the words; he objected to the extreme youth, and consequent want of experience of that Gentleman, not to his want of professional attainments. Mr. WE'IIHERELL corroborated the statement of the Ho nourable Gentleman. Tl;e Bill was then read a third time, and passed. ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY gave notice, that he would on , to-morrow move the Adjournment of the House till Monday next. . TH t• CASE OF THOMAS FLANAGAN. Lord A. HAMILTON called the attention of the Right lion. Secretary opposite, to the Petition of a person named Flanagan, .then lying on the table, stating that a Judge in Ire land had taken upon himself to acquit a prisoner charged with felony, although the Jury had convicted (Lord H.) thought this circumstance ought to be explained. Mr. GOULBURN stated, that he had been tried and con victed in Ireland; for having stolen a number of tenpenny tokens that the case was afterwards submitted to Judge Mayne, before wliom he was tried, and that that Learned Judge gave it as his opinion, that the evidence justified the verdic4,--that the Jury acted rightly in returping a verdict ofguilty,and`that the culprit was not an object to whom mercy ought to have been extended. Mr. R. MARTIN said, it was possible that Mr. Flanagan might tell the truth ; but certainly , his general character was such as to render him unworthy of credit.—The conversation here dropped. SCOTCH BURGHS. Lord A. HAMILTON, after some prefatory observations, moved for a Return, stating the Names and Residences of the Town Council of The Royal Burghs; but after a few words .from the Marquis of LONDONDERRY, he postponed the mo tion until to-morrow. Dr. P HILLIMORE presented a Petition from a Publican of Berkshire, against the present Licensing System.—Ordered to lie on the table. BRITISH COMMERCE.—PIRATES. Mr. MARRYATT rose to present a Petition from certain Merchants and Ship-owners of the City of London, complaining . that the British shipping was not sufficiently protected in the South Sea. The Honourable Member requested the attention of the House to this important subject. It appeared that the Governnfents of Chili and Peru :were at present at variance, and each had declared the .coast of its enemy in a state of blockade. The vessels of Great Britain were thus placed be tween two fires, and the consequence was•that many of them had been captured by each of the hostile parties. The books at Lloyd's exhibited numerous proofs of the depredations which were now committed upon British commerce. One case had been before alluded to in that House—he meant that of the Lord Col., livwood vessel, which had been captured and condemned at Porto Rico. The causes assigned for this proceeding were, that the vessel was trading in the South Seas without a license, from the Government of Spain, and moreover that it was car rying on trade with the enemies of that Government. Another great source of injury to British commerce was, the pirates who Infested those Seas. The Hon. Member read a description of the treatment :which a British vessel had received from a pira tical cruiser. After stripping the vessel of everything valu able, and making the Captain delivet all his money, the pirate cut and destroyed all the rigging and left her: The pirate, however, afterwards returned and demanded more money from the Captain, who, .not being able to furnish them with it, was dreadfully wounded by. their cutlasses, and afterwards hung up to,n parrof the rigging by a rope tied round his neck ; but his hands being left at liberty, he contrived to slip the knot under his chin, and thus saved his life. Others of the British crew experienced similar treatment. s This was a sample of the treatment which our unfortunate seamen received from these Gentlemen.—(Hear.)—He was sorry to say that he understood no attempt was made by the British vessels of war to destroy these pirates in their strong holds, which were perfectly well known to our cruisers. , The Americians only showed - a disposition to put down the pirates. In many instances the Americans had captured British vessels which had been previously taken by pirates, and restored them to their owners. It would seem, however, that this country was actuated; by a different . policy. The English schooner Despatch having . been captured by a pirate, and afterwards re taken by a Spanish vessel s application nuts made to Rear-Ad miral Brown to have the schooner restored to its original owners. In answer to this application, Admiral. Brown stated that he was authorized by his Commander-in-Chief to declare that Great Britain could not interfere to obtain restitution of vessels (although originally British) which had been captured whilst sailing under a piratical flag. This was in direct oppoSition to the policy - puraued by America, who acted upori e the princiqe— that Piraty and Murder. could give no title to property. Thee . doctrine of Rear Admiral Brown appeared to be 'this--that vessels captured under a piratical flag became the property of - those by whom they 'ivere-taken.. , But how would this apply toe the case of British vessels captured by pirates, and retaken by AdMiral Brown himself ?—(llear !)—Was it meant to be con- tended that vessels taken under these circumstances should- be long to Admiral Brown ?: The Hon. Gentleman then pro ceeded to complain, that British vessels of war refused to take . under convoy the vessels of any other country than this ; whilst the Americans gave public notice that they would give convoy to vessels of all nations without distinction of flags. In war there might be reasons,for refusing to take under our convoy, but he could imagine no pretext for doing so now. • He men tioned this circumstance only because inferences unfavourable to the British flag were drawn from it, whilst at the' same time the conduct of America was referred to and eulogized .in all parts of the world.—(Hear, hear !)—The Hon. Member con cluded with moving that the Petition be brought up.—(Dear!) Sir 0. COCKBURN felt it necessary to make a few observa tions upon what had fallen from the'lion. Member. The Hon. Member had not correctly stated the case when he said that America made it a practice to . restore vessels retaken from pirates to their original owners. In the instances in which America had restored vessels, they. had just before been taken by the pirates. There was this difference in the case Itif the schooner. Dispatch, which the -Hon. Member had alluded to— namely, that 'Chad been acting as a pirate before it was cap tured by the Spanish ship. Under. these circumstances,. our admiral - had no riht to interfere. - The 'Hon. Member corn-, plained that our ships did not exert themselves to clear the seas of pirates, but the Hon. Member ought to know'how extremely difficult it was to do this. Most of the vessels which came under the description of pirates were prepared with regular commissionsfrom recognized belligerent powers. ' It was said that the American vessels pursued the pirates into their strong holds. The reason of this was, that the keys lay on the-Ameri can coast. If our vessels' had the same opportunities as the Americans, they would be found equally active in putting down •the pirates. For instance, if the keys lay at the back of Spit head, the pirates Would - be soon routed. He could assure the • Honourable Member, that Government made every exertion to protect our shipping. *lnstructions had been sent - out to our Commanders-in-chief, authorizing them to go even beyond the limits which the Civil Courts would warrant. With aespeet• to what had been said on the subject of convoys, he could only observe, that Government felt a difficulty in ordering our vessels' to giye convoy, because it might lead to 'circumstances that .Would - involve us in ,wars- This country Was only restrained from taking what the Honourable Member seemed to consider effectual means of protecting our shipping by a desire. not to infringe the rights 'of other nations, as well as to preserve our• own inviolate. We did not want power; if we were to man our navy, no doubt we could do what we ;pleased upon the - sea. He dared to say, that our officers and seamen would have no objection to such a system, if Parlia ment would turn them out. He remembered older officers' Can himself to have said, that there was a time when we never did right on the sea, and never suffered wrong...-(A laugh.)-- would seem asthoUgh the Hon. Member desired to revert to that good old time. With respect to the blockades which had been declared in consequence of the quarrels which had arisen among the rising States of South America, this country had no right to interfere. Every thing, however, possible had been done by our navy on the coasts of Peru and Chili for 'the prOtec- , tion of British vessels. By - means of negociation alone, and without having recourse to violent measures of any kind, Go vernment had obtained the release of all British vessels which had been seized, and he would say justly seized, upon those coasts.— ( Hear! )a-But theHon.Gent.wished us to go farther Chan this,and to imitate the conduct of the Americans. Now, what had been the result of the course pursued by America ? It appeared by the last despatches that American vessels had been forbidden to enter Lima. What would haYe, been 'said if the countryhad adopted a line of policy which would have involved us in a quarrel with these rising States, the result of which, there could be little doubt, would have been to render them an easy conquest to their old masters ? If Government had acted in this manner, they would'' have been scouted from that House. This was a circumstance which the Petitioners did net seem to have taken into their consideration, and he thought he had a riest to declare that the Petitioners appeared to consult their own interests rather than those of the country in general. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY_ commenced by mat ing, that the present petition was merely a counterpart of one which had been presented a few evenings since from Liverpool. He regretted that the merchants of London should have fol. lowed that example. Unless the petitioners suspected the Go vernment of supineness, and believed the Admiralty to be their enemies, he thought the best course they could adopt would be to endeavour to open the eyes of the Admiralty upon the sub ject. • He deprecated the discussions which- arose Upon such petitions, as tending to expose British shipping to greater risks than they at present ran. The Hon. Member who presented the petition entertained opinions which, never could be acted upon. lie desired, that British cruisers should be converted into a kind of roving Court of Admiralty, to adjudicate in all cases where vessels were retaken from pirates. It was said that this was done by America. This might be so ; but he was slim it would not be long before America would seethe necessity of regulating the conduct of her naval officers by her own laws. He thought this country had no reason - whatever to complain of the conduct of the Governments existing in South America. The Noble Lord then proceeded to notice several cases of cap, turewhich had been alluded to. With resPeetto the captureof the Hebe, the Admiralty had no knowledge of it. As to the Vigonia ' they certainly were in possession of circumstances connected with the seizure of that vessel, and it was, he must - say, a case open, prima fiche, to - extreme suspicion. He would not state his opinion on the question now, lest it might preju dice the proceedings that were at present pending. _The vessel, it appeared, had proceeded from Valparaiso with a cargo of • Corn for Monte Video; but, instead of proceeding to the south, to double Cape Horn, she sailed to the north, anti it was sus pected that she meant to go to Lima. The port of-Callao was - blockaded, but still she took a northern 'course, and went to Guipuscoa, where she was - detained. Judicial - proceedings were now in progress against her ; and _therefore lie hoped the' Hon. Member and the House would pause before they,erime.to a hasty decision on a case of this kind. He had stated chat 'he was in possession of a :ist of 18 cases cf detention of, British • vessels which had occurred in the Pacific 'ocean, and to on a former evening, allusion bad been niade by the Right Bon. Member for Liverpool (Mr. Canning.) With respect to Many of these, he could give some intelligible, if not the most satisfactory, information. In those - 10 cases, there was only one single instance of complete condemnation. It was said that this country might protect foreign property, by allowing the use of British papers. But.if that were once permitted, where were they to stop ? The line once broken, it was impossible to say how far the principle might be carried. As to vessels of whose depredations the merehants'coMplained, if they were met and • recognized as pirates, they would be treated as such : but it was impossible filet their naval officers should carry about with them the powers of a Court of Admiralty, to decide what cases were and what were not piratical. The only complete case of !con demnation .amongst those .111 was that of the_Lydia. Another vessel had also been condemned; but as some doubts arose as to the justice of the condeinnation, the cargo had been sold, and the proceeds lodged in the treasury of Cadiz for a year, to await the event of any appeal that might be made. This showed that the Spanish Government did not deal with cases of this • kind in that offhanded and inconsiderate way which had been, im puted to them. The Rebecca, the Catalina, the Edward Ellice, the Lord Suffield, 'the Washington, and the Robert, had been released. The case of the Columbia remained tindecided., Theie• ,were four cases of a peculiar character, distinguishable from all the rest..' These were the cases of vessels detained by the Chilian squadron under Lord Cochrane. He seemed,to think, because he was carrying on war against Peru, which •he supposed to be subject to the Colonial Laws of Spain, that therefore lie was entitled\ to,deal with the property which lie found proceeding thither by sea; in the same manner that the Chili= Govern ment would dispose of 'it if they met it on land. He would not, he said, allow the enemies of Chili to reap any benefit . from the duties which the cargoes would produce, and there fore he seized them. This was a sort of law which Lord Cochrane might understand,' but certainly his Majesty's Go vernment did not recognize it, and they had directed strong • remonstrances to be made to the Chilian Government on the subject. He saw nothing in. the tone or temper of that Government of which he had any right to complain, and he hoped they would be able to bring Lord. Cochrane to reason. If this Government 'could not alter the laws of Spain, they could not allow Lord. Cochrane to set up a new code of laws of his own. - Therefore it would be necessary to discuss with the Chilian Government the question which Lord Coch rane had raised. He would, under those circumstances, recem- • PRIcE SI yENPENCt. 'mend the Hon. Member for Sandwich pls.

It was 'stated that this was a question with Indepeanent-Powers. He denied-the fact. Such a statement Was gaits -fallacious. There were two queStions—the first with Chili and Peen, which he ad mitted to be independent states : the second, with those pirates on the island of Cuba. The Noble. Lord .and., his colleagues said, " If we find out pirates we know how to deal With them." He would ask, what did a pirate mean - Did it mean a small vessel coming suddenly out of a place of concealment, her crew armed with swords, pistols, and knives, robbing defenceless vessels, - plundering their cargoes, and hanging -op their crews ? —[ Sir G. COCKBURIST—They are not pinoes.]—Then what is a pirate Sir G. COCKBURN.—If such a vessel as the Honourable Member. alluded to, had proceeded from Spain; under Spa= nish colours, she would not be a pirate. Spain would have to answer for any outrage or violence committed by that vessel., and a war would ensue between the two countries,- if, on a _ formal complaint being made, redress were not afforded. If a Vessel were met, sailing under a black flag, bearing.an incrip tion— We are friends to plunder, and enemies to every power we -come up with,"—or if a ship were discovered bearing no co lours whatever, there could not be any doubt as to the course to be adopted-towards her; but the case waa very different when ships were sailing under a particular flag. Mr. BRIGHT - continued.—He was then to understand .that if a vessel were provided with simulated Tapers, and hoisted any flag the crew thought fit to assume, she was not to be treated as a pirate, although she had commit ted the most dreadful outrages on unprotected men. If that were the case, there was an end of all security on the sea : for nothing could be more easy than to fit out a vessel under these false pretences, and to rob and plunder every ship that was in ferior to her in force. His opinion, however; was, that when the crew of a vessel perpetrated acts which were unknown to civilized war, she must be considered prima facie as a pirate, and no power ought to interfere for the purpose of preventing the infliction of that punishment on her crew which they appeared to deserve. This was the line taken by the Americans. If the ships of all nations were attacked by Vessels fitted out in the harbours of States that were said to be at peace with all the world, the aggressors must be looked upon as nirates, and should be treated as such. Was a case of this kind to be met by fictions of law and metaphysical fallacies Were those marauders to be allowed to destroy all the property on the sea in conse quence of some technical subtilty ? It was useless to lay down such doctrines as those lie had heard that night avowed. If the law really was as- it had been 'tilted to be, then, indeed, he agreed ts•ith the Noble Lord, that it was useless, nay, worse than useless, to come to that House With complaints. They, as practical men, must look at the essence of the thing ; they must examine the risk which they would runt - by putting down those piratical practices. He wished to know. where was the difference between America and England ? ,Why should the former do that which the latter had neglected to do ?—[Sir GEORGE COCXBURNT—" What have the Americans done?"] --They had taken the vessels of those pirates, .and .they had protected the commerce of ether countries. There was a squa• dron of frigates, American and trench, stanched in those seas. For what were they sent there but to protect the trade of those nations ? They certainly were not sent therefor nothing. Why was not the same thing done by England ? Had we vessels wait ingin those particular places which were infested by the pirates ? lie believed that Englandhad a greater naval three on " the sta tion" than America and France; but why were 'they not on the right spot, in the neighbourhood of the llavannali, where the Americans were cruising ? The name of an English vessel was not heard of there ; but the names both of French and Ameri can vessels were heard of. By the accounts which-they had been put in possession of this evening, it would almost appear as if there were no British vessels in thosei seas. This want of energy 'proved the weakness, not of the country, but of the Govern ment, who ought to protect the - commerce of the nation. This incipient system of piracy was of more importance than might, at first view, be imagined. The history of the Buccatiiers ought to excite a strong desire to destroy the present gang of pirates, before they because formidable. That was- the history of a body of brave but cruel and violent men, who laid waste those Very coasts for many years. They were armed'-in the same manner as these pirates were, and they acted precisely as these marauders did. The depredations committed:, by the vessels which hovered about Cape Antonio were directly similar to the outrages former] y,perpetrated by the Buccaniers. They must give up all trade in those seas, unless a strong representation were made to the Spanish Government, stating that if they would not put down this piratical system, England must: take the matter into their own hands, and deal with those phusderers as their crimes merited.—(Hear, hear s from the Ministerial benches.)-- lie understood that a representation had been made : but it was one thing to do an act, and another to do it effectually. If the Spanish Government were tardy in removing the evil, the British Government ought to take the matter -up. In his opinion, it a British vessel took a ship, the crew of which had hung up the captain of an English trader which had fallen into their power, that House would, and ought to remunerate the English officer, if, in seizing the perpetrators--of such cruelty, he advanced beyond the strict line of his duty.' Vile House of Commons, in considering this 'subject, ought to look to its essence and merits, and not to books of law, which were fre quently understood in a very imperfect manner.: Mr. CROKER said, he was glad the Hon.-Member had. plainly stated what was his view of the question. The com plaint was, that an unlawful protection was given by the Spa nish territory for the purpose of covering acts of violence. Tu check this, the Hon. Member said; that he would, in the first place, tell the Spanish Government, that if they would not -put an end to those piratical practices, the Government of this country would do it themselves ; andln the mean time he would cause orders to be sent out to the British Admiral, to station vessels in those particular parts w here the principal mischief arose. • He knew not by what means the Honourable Member had get access to the dispatches in his ( Mr. Croker's) oflice,but he had most accurately described the orders given to the Ad miral on the 'West India stationon' i the 23d Marchlast. That dis patch, after recapitulating all the cases of piracy, Stated that the Lords of the Admiralty had called the attention of the Secretary . of State for Foreign Affairs to the hardships which had been inflicted on the crews of different vessels. It - pointed out die mode in which the pirates carried on their depredations, by keeping their vessels close in shore, by forming a sort of estab lishment on the island of Cuba, and by escaping. ioland when ever they were pursued. It then went on to say, that this state of things .justified the British Government in requiring the Spanish Government either to take immediate measures them selves to bring those atrocious criminals to punishment, or at least that the Spanish flag and her territorial rights should not : prevent Great Britain from taking the necessary measures for ' destroying this nest of pirates.—(Hear, hear !)—This was in every point of view, the course which the Hon.. Member (Mr. Bright) had himself recommended, but the deSpatchovent still farther : it directed the Admiral to send one of his cruisers to .Cape St. Antonio to protect the British conurterce, and if passible, without violating the Spanish territorial rights, to cut off these piratical marauders, so 'that all that- the Honour. able Member recommended in . his accusatory tirade had been done so long ago as the 2:ld of March. But he must say, that those principles e of resistance were laid down the moment Government heard of the outrages in ques tion. Now, would the lion. Gentleman, before Spain ad got an opportunity of inquiring into the state--of the case, call upon Great Britain to invade adtlony of that e s oun try ? The Hon. Member had-said, that-this was a case of life and death and blood, and that care ought to betaken toprivent it frouf coming to such extremities 'as might be fraught with the most lamentable consequences:. And yet what asks - the recom mendation of the. Ilonehrable- lanber ? He wished, before
