mates c4roe on, he should !hove that Mayn:•oth College b e; raised to 13,001. as it was in 1807. • should ALIEN . . u tn the Order of th e D a y for the ILL second reading of the Alien Si r eu • • MACKINTOSH rose, and after alluding to the dis t_ ss u pti which had just dosed, said, that he should not have s re t bled the House if it had not appeared to him that the whole ;iieowstion of legislation as it regarded the alien had been put in aed grculd' We had had triennial and biennial Alien Bills. h ts e rst it w as Propos as a part of the measures necessary on transitio n from peace to war. In 1816 they were not to e ,t oo great a jump—in 1818 there was another reason as- Qt—in 1820 the measure was defended lest the Neapolitans Zat propagate tumults at Manchester and sedition at Bir rtjh,4l; but now that all the pretexts were done with, they h at ' ue looked upon as the most frivolous and ridiculous on were ever adopted as the foundation of legislating ed I ( great measure . B ut t h ose p re t ex t s all acknowledg at at the m easures were temporary—at least that merit ged to them all. A new situation had now arisen, s . toe House was to decide,whether the Alien Bill r ecourse-a to be considered as au expedient to which occasional at q might be necessary, or whether it was to be esaZ t 9 the general body of our laws as a ne fee rY measure which the folly of our ancestors bad dto adopt. The first objection lie had to the measure tit !_,• that it placed 25,000 subjects of a free State in the con it 'oh of political slavery. The second charge he had against ot _was, that b es id es i ts i n j us ti c e a nd oppression, it would na cpt?r o the citizens of a free state to the practice of slavery, Ps was sure that it was the last power which an homiest be uns ' - et would desire, or a wise Commonwealth suffer to ' Irh'.tablishai. To pass from political objections to those ta r T l Caine home to every man's business and bosom . , his ex objection was, that the power was arbitrary and might be , e ,tted ruinously to innocent individuals. It was a power like s? , ' 0 be abused, because the individuals, to exercise that power, not their judgmenta aided by those forms which in all ages ts • b een found necessary for the protection of innocence against e error s of those who exercised power. This was a power sure he abused; it was the most irresponsible power ever given 4 111 , ett• If he were called upon to make a short compendium o a . r t a i / 6 V, he would only have to describe the pow 4 rs and . pg of this Bill. It not only armed the Government with .Fannie power, but it gave to individuals in private society 4 ; e same powers which it pretended to give to the Govern .2ntat °My. 'What might be the effect on foreign witnesses ? Members"ewul only allude to that topic, as there were Hon. fully competent to speak with certainty on it. But the roach he would say, that ignorant as foreigners were of' ',; . ,§pirit of our laws, of the influence and control of opinion, a T, he would also say, of the character of those ti mid clmini drer ;be law—it was a natural consequence that the might h . : Et a its powei, and the wicked avail himself of its terrors, to anythe course of justice, and this objection did not suppose tv "Y abase of the Bill or those whom it empowered. There ledge another objection, that whether abused or not, the know of its existence must necessarily prevent many merito- Men from seeking refuge in this land as in former days, f h t beY would not trust men o , though they might trust laws.— alien who came here now could no longer brave his op- POnent ; he was not received as formerly, but with a brand t en his f ore h ea d. I t cou ld not be argued from the numbers 4t were here, that none were deterred from coming. Though she is ct "uts persons fled from the tyranny of Louis XIV. and of Nantz yet numbers . still remained behind. We clrere4" told that we lived in an age of revolutions. He should P . t hought it proper to assuage the irritation, to have en every facility to vanquished parties to withdraw, and a i Q t t by keeping them penned up, force on them the nece thiY of ailing their lives as dearly as possible. To admit s law, the proposers of this measure were now will to degrade our ancient liar, and stigmatize Magna Charm, h sel l had the honour of being the first law framed to I. °:-ect Aliens • they had desecrated their country, and de fa,d,ed its Constitution in the eyes of foreigners, who had he freedom its the institutions of England not only secured e freedom of Englishmen, but afforded protection to foreign hts, who crowded to it from every quarter of the world. It had „ n "een contended that the protection of our ancient statutes was 7„ r ' s ,ned to merchants only, but the Act of Edw. 111. added the which "and all other aliens." And the statute of Henry VI. '".leh ' regarded 40s. freeholders, expressly stated, that it was " to to, aliens greater courage and desire to come to this country." 'ay would ask the House whether the operation of the Alien Bill 'AS not to give less courage and less desire to aliens to come to his )3 country? whether it was not, in fact, the antipode of that How opposite were the maxims of our ancestors from those of the present day. They were not content with allow 'll the. Trial by Jury to aliens, but they provided that no alien should be punished for any offence without having had a Jury o t f half foreigners, whilst we stabled the King's Government ti imprison any number of foreigners without any trial at all. --(hear, hear 1)--The cry of innovation must, he thought be at an end. He did not find in the time Of Edward 111. or during the infancy of Henry V. any trace of those vulgar preju- L:ees which were said to prevail on the part of the people of Eng nd against foreigners, and which were now used as an argument 1. 1 the House of Commons in favour of the present measure. He took the grounds of this Bill to be, that, unless it passed, con- Piracies against foreign Goverments would or might be entered 14 t° in this country. But no such statement appeared in the Preamble of the Bill. Now he wished to ask whether the Preventioncl; duty of conspiracies was, under the law of nations, a y which was owing to a friendly Government ? If it were 0 "t to prevent, it was also our duty to detect and dis oTer them. T o d o that it would be necessary to have a body SDsYies for every country—for Austria, Prussia, Russia, ,;; t m, and above all, for Turk, which at present was most e s 'angered by conspirators. if it were our duty to attain the . 4 4 , it was our duty to employ the means. The Honourable' Ar_etober proceeded to argue at great length . the evils that t h ° ald arise from admitting the principle ; but it might be said, h n e ugh not a positive duty, it was a duty of good neighbour it,°tl• A. Noble Earl, 'at the head of his Majesty's Govern psi." in another place, said that there were two contending , s „ - ,°eiples in Europe at present ; the one he called the Re h'ationary, and the other the Monarchichal principle ; and nated that it was the duty of this country to preserve a p erf ect neutrality between them ; but, if were not a duty to ttri.e'rent and detect conspiracies against a foreign Government, l e it was a voluntary departure from that neutrality, l eb was said to be our duty. It was partial, being 'in a lr,ur of all Governments, however despotic—and against eot . insurgents, however oppressed. It was a hiw aimed Wh o irel at the defeated and the miserable,—against those' fled from tyrants and scaffolds, and upon, them they i n 'te to. be thrown back by this country, anciently known ; i ts hospitality.—(Hear, hear, hear !)—lf the Bill passed, tt r e o ahould be assailed with continual demands by Foreign tn v ernments, and should no longer have the simple answer s, ta ake, "It is ,not in our power." We could no longer atitt that Aliens were equally under the protection of our laws, that we had not the glorious power existing with our friend sl• s „ ; , in Turkey, and with our late enemies in Algiers, of t t —s uin whom we would. The Hon. Member examined the s_ttrus of thoie Governments for whom we were called upon to hoe this in roa d o n our ancient policy, and argued, on the au theYof the circular letter of the Marquis of Londonderry to N Forei gn Ministers, on the occasion of Austria invading I, 4 _,Pless (which he called the first Catholic epistle of the Noble is manner that if those Governments did not treat England in the t r manner as they did minor States, it was want of power only .i. Made the difference. He instanced the domination exercised at Austra over Switzerland, in regard to political fugitives s a ,, ) had taken refuge there, and then stated, in general terms, t We instances of tyranny . exercised on individuals. He would NI Particularize, as he wished •not to expose either the unfor of t tt_e Persons themselves or his informant, to the operation a et f .4 t system of espionage that pervaded all y Europe. He beg 'hot Pardon of the House for having employed a foreign word, ;" 1 this occasion he could not avoid it, and he rejoiced that /ia l bi` i ngtlage of freemen had no word to describe that abomi sohl system. The Hon. Member shortly recapitulated, ar.d d a - " c ul. tied by moving, That the Bill be read a second time that pia months: wh i s r • PLUNK TT said there • never was an occasion on h is ea the powers of his Hon. and Learned Friend pressed into a s • 447 fluments topics which in others would be condemned heeirrelevant than the applause with which his speech had ea e ll eard by both sides of the House. He did not propose, te tt r i l he had the ability, to follow him through the widely ex sahsed range which he had chosen to take. The question was, S et s;:tlerthe Alien Bill which passed in 1820 should • be renewed ,cao t ` w es Years longer ? He felt a considerable degree of d „sraY in executing the task imposed upon him.--(Hear hear) fo r :re v Particularly as the tone assumed made it necessary • llno t er y ern who ventured to sustain the measure, to enter ownis defence--(Loud cheers)—under circumstances th e 'e°urtesy which did not often take place • but, backed by of L9Pinion of the people and Parliament of 'England, much ao)11f apprehension was removed. The Bill did not touch who s o t t he rights and privileges which aliens ever enjoyed ' 1 : 1 this kingdom, on the contrary, they were under the tot ( p r otection of everyone of them.—(Hear, hear !)—lt was how ev eni edthat such a power existed somewhere in every State, tito in free o r h owever d espot i c . It was not an ihnova - gen e , this count r y—it was an ex pedi e nt to meet the exi eient.7 °f the moment. It was a practice founded on the an andPrinciples of the law of the land, and only regulated , e Wish atl aPted to the p a rticul a r circumstances of the times. r eaPect to the exerc i s e of suc h a power it could not Ith 2 e af e e x ly lodged any where but in the Executive ; nor could ire the excised otherwise. There was no lawyer who, consult ..tistiro'nrineiPk's of the _Constitution, and the analogies oflegal asro w , would deny that this power was inherent in the Ale allegiance of a foreigner was not limited like that of a native, for he might withdraw it whenever he pleased. If the allegiance were limited, the protection afforded to the alien must in like manner be limited ; and the Sovereign must have a right to remove him whenever his residence may become dan gerous.—The analogies of a similar power in the Crown were numerous. The power of issuing suits to prevent a native from leaving the country ; of ordering him to return - after he may have left; of proclaiming peace or war; and of ordering alien enemies to leave the country. Authorities were de manded for the exercise of this power ; and no less than five instances had been given from the reign of Queen Elizabeth. But modern cases were called for. That was not a fair way of dealing with the, question. When it served the purpose, the opponents of the measure took shelter in antiquity ; but when that was against them, they called for modern authori ties. It was asked whether any decisions in support of such a prerogative in the Crown had been given in Westminster But he would ask, whether any such decision had taken place in respect of the prerogative in the case of alien enemies ? And yet that prerogative was never questioned, al though it had long lain unexercised. Now what foundation was there in argument for denying the existence of the power with regard to alien friends, which %vas admitted with regard to alien enemies, merely from the absence of modern decision in its favour, or from the long discontinuance of its exercise? The Right Honourable and Learned Gentleman then proceeded to notice the different sorts of danger which this country had had to apprehend from abroad,in the times subsequent to lithe reign of Elizabeth down to the year 1793; which he resolved into fo reign arms and disaffected subjects residing abroad :—the for mer were to be met with arms, the latter by the laws, and nei ther required the exercise of this power. But in 1793, a new danger arose in the influence of those anarchical principles which the demon that had usurped theipossession of the throne, and the minds of the people of France, who had burst from their chains before they were fit for freedom, had engender ed ; and which it had become a part of their sworn policy to disseminate throughout all Europe. To protect the country from that danger, the revival of this dormant power of the Crown was necessary ; and he appealed to those who had sur vived the dangers of that period to say whether the preservation of the country was not owing to the measures that were: then adopted, of which this was a main feature. He did not mean to assert that the dangers of that period existed at present; he believed that the fantastic figures which the French of that period had tricked out in the robes and drapery of freedom, had long since been put down. If they existed at all at present, it was only in the obscurity of the darkest places. But among the number of Aliens whom the course of events drove to seek a refuge upon our shores, were many mischievous and designing tharacters,who only sought for apiece where they might in security prosecute their tplots and intrigues against foreign states; and it was incumbent on the'Government of this coun try to prevent such proceedings which might endanger our foreign relations ; and no less so to protect our own popula tion from the contaminating influence of the principles and intrigues of such persons. The provisions of the Act did not go to prevent the arrival of foreigners in this country; but only to require their compliance with certain formalities, after which they were at liberty to go to any part of the king dom, subject to removal by order of the Privy Council, if they were discovered to be dangerous persons ; and the re gulations for the exercise of that power were the only ones under which it could be safely and efficiently exercised. It was the only way of putting down the intrigues and conspi racies of foreigners in this country against foreign Govern ments, and preventing the country from becoming embroiled in the disputes of such.Oovemments with their own subjects. He admitted that the power of the Act was liable to abuse, and that its conscientious exercise might in some instances be productive of hardship, but those were the extreme cases ; and his Honourable and Learned Friend had acted most mis takenly in arguing upon such cases, as if they were the ob sects for which this power was provided. He denied that the power had ever yet been abused ; and he did not believe that any set of Gentlemen could be found exercising the govern ment of this country, who would so grossly abuse this power as his' Hon. and Learned Friend's argument supposed. He denied that this measure was brought in as one of favour to any fo reign Government. Whether the Government of France, of Austria, of Spain, or of Portugal, applied for its being put in force, the interest of the one would be as well attended to as that of another. It was the duty of' Government to act im partially, and lie defied any man to produce an instance of this power being exercised otherwise. Mr. SCARLETT rose amidst repeated cries of " Ad journ !" He proceeded to controvert the arguments on which the last speaker founded the existence of the power contend ed for as a prerogative of the Crown. His Right Hon. and Learned Friend referred to the power of issuing a writ ne exeat regno, as analogous to the power of excluding or re moving aliens. But did his Learned Friend ever hear of the issue of such a writ but upon application to a Conn of Jus tice in a civil suit?—(Hear, hear!)—Did lie ever hear of such a writ having been issued under the sign manual, or by au Order in Council ?—(Hear, hear, bear?)-As well might he deduce from the issuing of a writ of capias the existence of a prerogative in the Crown to rend any man to prison—(Much cheering.)—He strongly opposed the Bill, as unconstitutional and oppressive ; and denied that even in the worst times of our history (the arbitrary reigns of the Edwards and Henries) such a power had existed. If the Crown had such a power this Bill was unnecessary. It ap peared that Henry the Fifth being desirous, of sending back to Britanny some Britons, attendants on his Queen, could not do it until he had obtained an Act of Parlia ment to authorise him to do so. He contended that up to the period of the first introductton of this Bill; aliens had always been dealt with by the common law of the country, in the same manner as other individuals were. The Bill had too long de formed, in a time of peace, the law of this country, and he should therefore support the amendment of his Hon. and Learned Friend. Mr. HUME. in order that the principle of the Bill might be fully discussed, moved the adjournment of the question to Monday. Mr. BROUGHAM gave the fullest appreciation of credit to the motives of his Honourable Friend ; but he said he must enter his protest against the habit that was nightly gaining ground, of giving way to the idea, that whenever a particular hour of the night arrived, the discussion in which they might be engaged was to be as. a matter of course adjourned.— Besides that this practice interfered with the dispatch of, pub lic business, itinduced a habit of breaking off the-atten tion of Members to the debate as that hour approached ; when the greater part of those who were loudest in the call for adjournment had not been present perhaps half an hour during the discussion. Lord LONDONDERRY also urged the lion. Membei for Aberdeen not to press his amendment, as this was only the second reading of the Bill, and it would have to go through seven further stages, which would afford future opportunities of debating the question. Mr. HUME said he should press his motion for adjournment.. The gallery was then cleared for a division. The numbers were— - Against the adjournment 16 1 6 6 For it Majority - 150 The House then divided on th, original motion, when the numbers were— For the second reading Against it - 108 Majority - 34 The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed. Mr. DENMAN, after the Bill had been disposed of, ob served, that on referring to the printed Bill, he found it to' be merely a Bill for continuing the Act of the 60th of his late Majesty, which continued the Act of the 58th, which continued the Act of the 56th. So that the whole of the en actments of the present Bill were to be sought for in the last named Act, it not being the custom to reprint the clauses of an old statute in the Bill fer continuing the Act of which they' formed a part. He mentioned this, for the purpose of pointing the attention of Honourable Gentlemen to the two most odious clauses of this most obnoxious Bill ; and lie hoped it would not escape notice elsewhere—he meant the notice of the public press, that those two clauses placed the liberties of the whole 25,000 aliens residing in this coun try at the absolute disposal of any one of the three Secretaries of State. The other Orders of the Day Were then disposed of, and the House Adjcpmed at HALF-PAST ONE to Monday. The Will of the late Most Noble ELIZABETH, Duchess Dowager of Guar TON, was proved in the Prerogative Court, Doctors' Commons, on the Bth inst., by the oath of the Right Hon. and Rev. Lord Henry Fitzroy, the son and only executor • the personals being sworn' under the sum of six thousandpounds. It is expressed in the ordinary terms of a letter to Lord Henry, consequently unwitnessed, and con tains no disposition of the residuary property, which will therefore go to her Ladyship's children as the next of kin. —" I shall have," she observes, " but little to leave, having always wished to see my friends enjoy what I could afford them. The furniture of my house in Brook-street to your self ; also two pictures of mine at the present Duke of Grafton's, left me by your father, and his own picture now, in my house. My trinkets to my daughters, and one thou sand two hundred pounds in the Four per Cents. to my daughter Lady Augusta Tavel. I trust to you to do all that is right." Her Ladyship desires to be buried in the plainest man ner, in the parish where she may happen to die. The will is dated June 18, 1820. PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS. ROUSE OF COMMONS.

The Paris Papers of Wednesday have ar rived, and contain a copy of the Address of the Chamber of Deputies, which was presented to the KING on Tuesday. It is, like that of the House' of Peers, an echo of the Speech from the Throne at the opening of the Session. ' The KING'S answer is in substance the same as that which his MAJESTY returned to the Deputa tion of the Peers ; and it may be inferred from the last sentepee, that the cause of the Greeks occupies the attention of the Allied Powers, and is the subject of negociations with Turkey. " I have the satisfaction," con- eludes his MAJESTY, gc to announce to the " Chamber that the accounts which I have re " ceived are very favourable to the maintenance " of peace in the East, and give me reason to cc expect its entire - re-establishment in that " quarter." In the Sitting of Tuesday last, the Minister of Finance, •M. DE VILLELt, pre sented the details of 'the Budget for the year 1893. The charges for the various services amount to 900,475,503 francs, and the esti mated revenue to 909,130,783 francs, being an excess of income over expenditure of 8 1 655,280 francs. The Minister having quitted the Tribune, and the question being put that his statement be printed, General FOY moved that with the Speech, and the projet of law founded pn,it, should also be printed the actual and effec tive (not merely the estimated) state of the army ; and an account of the distribution of the diffe rent sums voted for the Chamber of Peers—the Ministers of State—the Ministry of Foreign Affairs—the Ministry of Marine—stating also the names of those who received the several sums• in the distribution.• The Minister of Finance ,opposed this motion as an interference with the KING'S prerogative in the partition ; and after some uninteresting discussion, it was got rid of by the previous question. Two projets of law, in pursuance of his statement, were presented by the Minister of, Finance, and the Chamber, after a short sitting, adjourned. The Austrian Observer of the Ist instant states, that a courier arrived the evening before direct from St. Petersburgh, with despatches from the Austrian Minister there, announcing the import ant news that the Emperor ALEXANDER has re solved to send M. de TATISCHEF on an extraor dinary Mission to Constantinople. M. de TA TISCHEF is expected at Vienna on the 13th inst. whence, after a short stay, he will proceed to his destination by the way of Bucharest.

Two Lisbon Mails have arrived.—The Papers are principally occupied with a long discussion in the Cortes, as to the policy of sending out troops to Bahia ; some of the Members contend 7 ing against it, and others wishing that forces, to the number 'of 10,000 or 12 ; 000 men, should be sent to the South American provinces. After two day's debate, the question of suspending the expedition of 600 men to Bahia,. Was rejected by a majority of 80 to 43. The ac counts from Pernambuco state that province to be in a state of anarchy, and that a battalion has been formed, composed of mulattoes and other rabble, who insult every .European. They call the Portuguese Dutchmen ! and say that the negroes .are free citizens. Accounts yesterday from Lisbon state that the Cortes of Portugal have authorized a Committee to report the amount required for a new Loan, by which it is supposed the Cortes will sand don it. [From the National Gazette, May 15.]—A friend has put into our hands a variety of South American Gazettes, - of the latest dates received in this country. We collect from them that the internal provinces of La Plata arestill distracted by intestine feuds; that Monte Video and the Banda Oriental are, though united in form to Brazil, in an unsettled condition ; and that the Government of Buenos Ayres has acquired addi tional consistency, and is likely to flourish and endure. Brazilian Gazettes speak the language of civil liberty, though not yet of national inde pendence. The affairs of Ireland are at present so in teresting on the score of humanity, as well as of justice and a due regard for our fellow subjects, that we were glad to see the Marquis of LANS DOWNE introduce the situation of that unfortu nate Country into the House of Lords last night. The subject was so fully discussed 'on this occa sion that to comment is necessary on our part. We, however, deem it proper to advert to the just, striking, and impressive sentiments of our venerable LORD CHANCELLOR, who for cibly observed, that if ten or twelve of the Noble Peers whom he saw around him would spend but three months in the year on their estates in Ireland, their conduct would soon change the face of the Country. Such would, indeed, produce a most beneficial change, and render the people of Ireland contented and happy. It is, indeed, an imperative duty on those who derive a large part of their income, if not the whole, from Ireland, to do every thing in their power to promote its prosperity. After the brief conversation in the House of Commons last night on the subject of the Kentish Petition, and the result of Mr. WESTERN'S MO. tioll, IV‘ conceive that no proposition is likely to he successful that recommends a violation of the National Faith. Yesterday the Earl ST. VINCENT had an au dience of the KING to pay his dutiful respects to . his• MAJ ESTY. Mr. ZEA, the Columbian Minister, is arrived in London. TIIE KING'S FULL DRESS BALL.

The company began to assemble abdut ten• o'clock.— They were received by the Officers of the Household in due form, and conducted with all the accustomed ceremonies. The scene was of the most splendid and gratifying description, and the party did not break up till a late hour. An abundanc s e of the most delicate refreshments were provided on , the occasion ; his MAJESTY was in the most excellent spirits, displaying throughout his wonted affability and grace, and rendering happy and delighted, to the moment of departure, the whole of the brilliant circle.

THE THEATRE.-After a season; which has ill requited the active zeal and adventurous liberality of Mr. ELLISTON in the management of Druty Lane Theatre, it closed last night with the opera of Incle and Yarico. At the end of the play Mr. ALEXANDRE, the celebrated Ventriloquist, gave his exhibition, which, for correctness and variety of character; and changes of the human voice, must be deemed the most surprizing as well as amusing of its kind that has ever appeared in any country, and which was justly received with universal applause. • The Bill of Fare, or Inquire Within, is a farcical sketch, in one act, written to introduce • the performers to the audience on the re-opening of the Theatre. A Provincial Manager and a Country Innkeeper advertise under a similar signature for actors and servants ; and, by the waggery of a London Landlord, the actors are introduced to the Innkeeper, and the cham bermaid, waiters, book-keeper and coachmen, to the Manager. During the mistakes re sulting from this cross arrangement, each per former has a short scene calculated to display their respective talents, and make a bow to the town, and the piece concludes with a very shewy scene of the exterior of the new Haymarket Theatre, illuminated i❑ honour of the Benefit given to the Suffering Irish Peasantry, with a partial view of the Opera House and surrounding new Buildings. FIRE.—A fire broke out on Thursday morn- • ing in the warehouse of Mr. BROADWATER, sail manufacturer, at Horsleydown, which destroyed the house and several adjoining houses. fired edlY he vent par- itor , had and 7 3 o f pro sill; ri 110 110" bu t la r a' Wages goo•. a be Noe, Peo • d i o ts that ,te i' cat ° f mademad e r fi e ' d es thee „keo t dis” :rine 'e fu tii°llt 1 Ir° De e ' 0 6, Up t. t 7 1 3 /0?*: 'CCCS - IJ I'6 0 5 ' 8 117 J' .00 he " t ,ebto. s )c' ite e a vt‘' Le l' et o r 3 t the VlO r ' ls P rint s 0 W 3 in tlle fs l4
