PARLIAMENT, /HOUSE OF LORDS FRIDAY, Jury 19. The Scots' Jury Bill was read a third tithe, and passed. • Returns relative to Irish tithes were presented from the office of the Chief Secretary for Ireland. The Irish Insolvent Debtors' Bill, the, Leather Duties' Bill, and the Duchy of Cornwall Bill, were read a second time. REVENUE OF IRELAND. The Earl. of LIVERPOOL presented a Report from the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the Revenue of Ire- ' land. The Report did great honour to the Commissioners who had drawn it up, and he could not lay it on the table without calling the serious -attention of the House, and more especially the attention of those' of their Lordships who were connected with Ireland, to this most important investigation of the finan cial system of that country. Their Lordships would find that, the Commissioners had recommended very important measures, and he was persuaded that if the investigation should be pro- perly folloWed up, the result could not but be most beneficial not only to that part of the country to which the inquiry had_ been more particularly directed, but to the empire at large.— It would be for their Lordships afterwards to consider what regulations should be adopted under the sanction of Parlia ment. But if the regulations proposed were foundcd on justice . and sound policy, no local interests, no consideration of favour oz partiality, ought to operate to prevent their being carried into • effect. In saying this, he was confident that if their Lord ships were convinced that the recommendation of the Commis sioners had truth and justice on its side, they would give it their liberal support without favour, fear, or partiality. The Earl of LIMERICK • experienced much pleasure in hearing what had fallen from the Noble - Earl, and concurred with him in the conviction, that no ideas of interest or favour ought to be allowe'tl to prevent the carrying into effect a mea sure calculated to promote the public welfare. The Marquis of LANSDO WN could not refrain from stat ing, that he had heard with great satisfaction the explanation made by . the Noble Earl respecting the Report he had just presented, and also the expression of the Noble Earl's senti ments on the important subject, in which he doubted not their ' Lordships and the country would concur. He trusted that the investigation would be effectually followed up. /It was not for him to anticipate what might be the result of the -recommen dation in the Report on the table ; but the investigation had fully justified the opinion given by the eminent person who first suggested the inquiry. The Earl of DARNLEY also stated his approbation of the sentiment expressed by the. Noble Earl, but tool.. the present opportunity of adverting to what had taken place on a subject to which he had before called their Lordships' attention— namely, the stationery .furnished to public offices in Ireland. He understood that the House of Commons had voted a specific sum to make good the loss in the stationery department. If, how ever, lie had the papers which had been moved for, he should be able to prove that the public had already paid far too much. He wished to know what was the cause of the delay in theil production ? The 'Earl of LIVERPOOL observed, that a proposition had been made to supply stationery' for a specific sum, and that an arrangement was going on respecting it. The delay in making out the returns had arisen from the great number of years which the motion embraced, and which rendered the making of ex tracts a business of considerable time. % IRISH GRAND JURY PRESENTMENTS. The Marquis of LANSDOWN reminded their Lordships, that in consequence of what had passed the other day on the Bill relative to Grand Jury Presentments, it was considered that, there was not sufficient information before the House to justify their adopting the measure with satisfaction to them selves. It was, however, thought, that it would he advisa ble to record the opinion of the House on the subject, and he therefore now moved a resolution, recognizing the principle of the Bill. _ _ , After a few words from Lords REDESDALE and DONOUGII iVIORE, the resolution was agreed to. IRISH INSURRECTION ACT. The Earl of LIVERPOOL rose, on the Order of, the Day, to move the second reading of this Bill. The Noble Earl re ferred to the state of the country, as the ground on which he called on their Lordships to pass this Bill. There was no dis position in the Government of Ireland to exercise unduly the power which it was unfortunately necessary_ to give, nor_ to re tain it a moment longer than the safety of the country required. There was no reason to apprehend that the powers given by the act would be misused; but the dispatches from the Lord Lieu tenant showed; . that though tranquillity and securitylo pro perty . was ensured by the act, there was reason to apprehend the most injurious effects would take place were it to be suspended. Their Lordships would not do, their duty to the loyal inhabi tants of Ireland, if they did not give to the government of that country such powers as were capable of giving security to liberty and property, and without which government could be of no use. Under these circumstances, he anticipated their Lord ships' assent to the Bill. The Marquis of LANSDOWN did not mean to oppose, the Bill, but did not think he would be justified in giving a silent vote. Though he must admit the measure to be necessary for the safety of, the Country, he considered himself bonnet° enter his protest against continuing to act on the principle of this Bill, which was the offspring of a system of palliation of evils unaccompanied with any` evidence, at least any Parlia mentary, evidence, of an intention to adopt means for the re moval of those evils. The dispatches to which the Noble Earl had referred contained a condemnation of the measure. It was stated that the Insurrection Act had a temporary effect, but that the moment its operation was withdrawn from a district, the same evil recurred. Thus it was evidently no remedy. It might preserve tranquillity for a while ; but their Lordships were bound to lose no opportunity for taking measures to bring about a return to a constitutional Government in Ireland. What was necessary to be done was, to - teach the people not to depend for their security on the conduct of any Lord Lieute nant or the Magistrates; but on their own. rights and the laws of the country. It was to the full protection of the law, and to a conscious- conviction of that protection in tile minds of the peoPle, that their Lordships were to look for tranquillity. The Noble Marquis concluded by objecting to the clause which prevents actions being brought against Magistrates for any thing done in the execution of this Act, and intimated his intention of proposing an ainentlinent on it in the Committee. Lord ELLENBOROUGH, though he disapproved of the principle of the Bill, felt himself bound to agree, to it, as it af forded a protection which the people of Ireland were by habit brought to expect. In giving his consent to this bill, he held the Government to be more distinctly bound to introduce mea sures of conciliation. The Earl of LIMERICK supported the bill. If it did not pass, he was convinced there would be no security for the lives and property of the 'loyal part of the inhabitants of Ireland., With respect to the clause on the subject of actions, he was afraid that if any change were made in it, the effect might be to paralyze the efforts of the Magistrates. Lord REDESDALE also supported the Bill, on the ground of immediate necessity. The cause of the evil of ,which all complained, he observed, was, that the law had never been pro-' peel), administered in Ireland. The consequence was, that the character of the people of Ireland was affected by that mal-ad ministration. In considering the character of the people of Ireland, he was convinced that they might in time be brought to pay as complete submission to the laws, as the people on this side of the Channel. When the natives of Ireland came to this country, they readily submitted to the laws, because they found that the same laws equally protected themselves and others. A The Earl of DARNLEY gave his consent to the Bill under the same qualification as other Noble Lords. He expressed a general confidence in the Noble Marquis at the head of the Go vernment of Ireland, but thought that some explanation was due respecting his conduct, in allowing a scene lately to take place in Dublin, which was calculated to excite strong party feeling. He strongly condemned proceedings which made the name of the founder of British liberty a means of maintaining party animosities. With regard to Ireland, no real good could be expected from palliatives. It was necessary to go to the root of the evil ; and if no abler hand took up the urgent sub ject of the situation of Ireland, he would himself bring it for ward early in the next Session of Parliament. The Earl of LIVERPOOL rose to say a few words in con sequence of the allusion which had been made to - a recent oc currence in Dublin. He begged to be understood as most dis tinctly stating, that what took place on the occasion referred to was not only contrary to- the opinion, but to the wish, of the Noble Lord at the head of the Irish Government. He had even taken legal opinion- anti advice on the subject, but the question was found to be one of great delicacy. If any person who wished to prevent' the proceedings had come forward and sworn that something was, contemplated which was likely to lead to a breach of the public peace; then the Government might have interposes. In this opinion he believed his Noble Friend would concur. There had been great provocation which led to the transaction. That the Marquis did not interfere was not, however, from.any disinclination to prevent the proceed ing, but •in consequence of the high legal opinion he had received. • The Earl of DARNLEY did not for a moment suppose that the transaction to which he had alluded had taken place with the concurrence of the Noble 3tarquis, and was glad that what he had said had given occasion to the explanation which had been made. • • _ _ _ . . - The LORD CIPLISTCELLOR would not be doing justice to the Noble ,Marquis, if he did not state, that after the most careful examination which he could give to the subject, he was convinced the Noble Marquis had done every thing to prevent the proceedings alluded to, which he was entitled to do by law. The Earl of DONOUGHMOIUI rose, to declare his reluc tant assent to - this measure, as one of imperative necessity alone. He reposed the utmost confidence in the Noble Marquis at the head of the Irish-Government, and when that distinguished Statesman called for such a measure, it could only he upon the imperious duty which compelled him to resort to that means of preserving the frame of, society in Ireland. That Ireland - had been 'Ong and cruelly misgoverned was a notorious fact ; but the qUestion here was, what coult , be 'lone in the midst of a . lawless k orid p9wergia4fgliedenzty again 4_all order such a state - Prihings must .be put down,' and he (the Earl of Da • noughmore), who kne4i the state of Ireland, was compelled to admit that there wagpho 'other way of meeting the existing evil than by resorting to such-a measure as this. Some were of opinion that the Bill ought to be accompanied by Other measures of a conciliatory nature : he for one could not see the necessary connexion between this and such measures, and he - supported the present Bill rather as an isolated one, than 'as one connected with other views of Irish policy, Which, however indispensable, were not now before the House.— In a season of peace; when topics of calm deliberation were ca pable of being praetically considered, he had not the smallest doubt but that the Marquis Wellesley would sustain hiS Cha rader by deeply considering- the situation of his country ; ,but at present he saw no other course for him than to resort to strong measures to support the dominion of the lav;r. It was a lament able fact, that Ireland had-not received thehenefits which were anticipated for. her by himself and . others at the time of the Union. That measure relieved Ireland . from a , Parliament which was a terrible engine of corruption—an engine operating to produce such extensive mischief, that all good men saw no. safety for their country but by the sacrifice of a bodywhiai was its bane. Unhappily, however, the prOmised boon of salutary goVernment had been withheld. He had, however, the utmost hopes from the - present S Lord-Lieutenant,, from whose des patches he read several extracts in justification of the present bill ; and was convinced, that when the moment came for calm ly lookinpt the state of Ireland, that Noble Marquis would be found ib sustain his high character. At present, terrible as was the evil, he saw no reason to refuse his support to this mea sure; his confidenee being always in the high quarter from which the recommendations came; and justified - only by the necessity of the case. The Earl of ROSSLYN rose to address theiri,ordships, be-. cause he was unwilling to be included in the sweeping declara tion of a Noble Earl who had preceded him—that all who were present were ieady to give a tacit approbation to this measure. lie feared that they must look to it, not as a temporary, but as a permanent measure, inasmuch as he could see no prospect of any satisfattory issue to the present discontents of Ireland. He objected to the Bill, because it gave an excessive power over the people to the Magistracy, in whom the people in :general placed but, little confidence. He believed that the population of Ireland looked more frequently for protection to the :Military Officers stationed among them, than they did to the Magistracy of their country, though'the latter were bound by their oaths to afford it to them at every risk and upon all occasions. , The Earl of RODEN believed that no other measure was so well calculated as the present to meet the evil under which Ire land now laboured, or to afford scearity and protection to all classes of his Majesty's subjects irAhat country: He attribut ed the evils of Ireland, not to the want of Catholic Einancipa:- tion, but to the absenteeship of its great landed proprietors.. In that opinion he was fully borne out by the fact; -that wherever the landlord resided on his estate, there peace and prosperity al ways existed. If the Noble Marquis opposite were as well 'ac quainted as he (Earl of Roden) was with the condition of Ire land, he was sure that the Noble Marquis would never propose to make such alterations of the Bill in- the Committee as he had that evening given notice of. Lord HOLLAND had no hesitation -in saying, that if he could confide to any man such frightful and unconstitutional powers as were granted by this Bill, he would confide them to the Noble _Marquis at present at the head of the Irish govern ment; for he would admit in the most broad and explicit man ner, that as far as lie could judge, the Noble Marquis had al ways exercised those powers with calm deliberation and eau= tious judgment. The powers, however, that were granted by the Insurrection Act, he would never again grant to any indi yidual, so long as he had a seat in a British House of Parlia ment. He had once in his life supported such a Bill ;,but without any affectation of conscience, he would ; say that the vote which he had given in support Of it, lay like a lump of lead upon his mind, and was the only act, in his _political life, of which upon a retrospect he since.-ely repented. One cf his objections to the Bill was the enormous extent of its powers.— The Noble and Learned Lord opposite said that these powers were absolutely necessary. ,Allowing that they were so, still he would ask why was not the Bill conferring them accompa nied by some measure of a conciliatory nature? " Oh," said another Noble Lord, " how can you expect the Noble Marquis to be prepared with a measure of that nature in six months, when I, who have been 20 years examining into the causes of the evils in Ireland, have not been able to discover a remedy .for them; and further, when the British government in the long lapse of 500 years has been equally unsuccessful ?" Such a reply, however, was but a very sorry argurrient for a continu ance of the present system. He would have expected that if the evils complained of had already existed 500 years, and those laws which they had passed' to remove had only served to aggravate them, they would have determined as a last resource to adopt a new line of conduct, and to try Conciliation where coercion had absolutely failed. The _Noble Lord, however, attributed much of the evil of Ireland to the want of respect paid to the laws by the population of that country : he would, however, ask, were the laws- themselves respectable ? So long as they were of, a nature like that upon their table, he would make bold to say that they would never excite respect in the breasts of either the people or the magistracy. When the late tasteless and cowardly insults to the great mass of Irish feeling were mentioned in the House, a Noble Lord had said that the Noble Marquis at the head of the Irish government had no power to put them down. If that were .the case, he would ask s why it was so, and why Parliament had not given to him that authority, when it had given to him other authority much more odious, much more dangerous, and much more un— constitutional ? The present Bill -was an instance of that kind of authority ; and, as an English Gentleman, he would say, that if such a Bill Were . passed in England, he would imhiediately throw up his commission as, a „Magis trate, because he was convinced that no man could execute it without becoming a Worse man in character and principle, and what was, perhaps, no less important, a worse'subject to a free government. The Noble Baron then proceeded to ridicule the idea of attributing all the evils of Ireland to the absenteeship of its great landed proprietors ; and afterwards proceeded to state that he should'oppose this bill, firSt, because it was liable to abuse, not so nmai- from the Government, as from the in ternal Magistracy of Ireland. Indeed, divid;d as Ireland u into two great factions, it was not less' unjust than impolitic -to give one of them such enormous powers as this bill did over the other. It placed arbitrary power in the hands of those who were likely to abuse it, -sometimes from' fear, and at • other-times from a wish to' take revenge. Indeed, he would ra ther confer such authority as it gave upon the military officers of the Crown, than upon those whom it employed in Ireland in a civil capacity. It had been sad by some individual whom he did not know, in a place of which he knew as little, that this was very extraordinary doctrine in him who had an hydro phobia of military power. Hydrophpilia of military powerl The expression was most extraordinary, and if used by an Irish man, fully proved what a Noble. Lord had stated that evening , that Ireland was in great want of good s choolmasters. Indeed, if the person who had recently'used it, had used it at the time he was of tender age, in all probability his " fundamental fea ture,"- to borrow another word from the same yocabulary; would _ have suffered a little for so daring a metaphor,— (Laughter.)—He would, however,'state a reason why it was hot so very extraordinary in him to hold this doctrine. It was this—that if it were necessary to grant excessive powers, it was better to give them to those who were the most ac customed to the use of them, inasmuch as he had obser,7ed that the regular practitioner always left a less wound behind him than the ignorant dabbler in the art of phy sic. The Noble Baron then proceeded to state other arguments against this Bill. He said that it was not adapted to the end which it professed to hive in Lview. It was not so' well calculated to put down thepresent evils of Ireland, as many other measures, which, though open to ob jection; were none of them open to smith objection as could be urged against this measure. It was a disappointment to Par liament and to the country at large, inasmuch as it was not ac companied by any measure of redress, as had been promised at the commencement of the Session. Over and above all, it was calculated to aggravate all the evils under which Ireland at. present laboured. Having all these disadvantages, and being Also contrary to the spirit of the British Constitution, he could not for a illoment consent to. the passing of such a measure. The LORD CHANCELLOR then put the question, and the Bill was read a second time without adivision, It was then ordered to be committed on Monday, for which day their Lord,. ships are summoned.—adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. - - Mr. PRENDERGAST presented a petition fionl the Mer chants and'others, of Galway, praying for a further remission of the Salt Tax.--.-Ordeied to be printed. Mr. LusHING - ToN brought in a Bill for the continuance of the BountieS on the Greenland Fishery.—Rcad a first time: The Report of the Irish Stamp Duties Bill was brought up, and the amendment read and agreed to: ' SALT TAX. On the Salt Duties Repeal Bill being read a third time, - Mr. C. GRANT complained that the repeal of tkis tax Would be most injurious to - the persons in Scotland employed in the manufacture of kelp. Something ought to be done for this class of persons, as this Bill would actually reduce them to a state of misery. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER and -Mr. CAL CRAFT observed that the repeal of all-taxes must have an in jurious effect upon particular interests, but the general bene fit must supersede individual hardship. This interest had upon a high war tax, tile repeal of which might have been an ticipated. The Bill was then passed, the only arnendnient being that of leaving oat the clause for the repeal of the duty on Sodama nufactured in this country, the duty therefore remaining as it has hitherto stood on that article. . - The Irish Salt Duties Repeal Bill was also read a third time and passed. - THE LATE QUEEN'S SERVANTS. The House went into a Committee • on - the Queen's Servants' Pension Bill. Mr. HUAIE proposed that the individuals provided for by this Bill should be placed on the Pension List, and not paid out of the Consolidated Fund. He was sure if there wer&any wish for economy, the Right lion. Gentleman would do that. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could not ac cede to the suggestion of - the Hon. Member. The. length of time that • must occur before vacancies offered, on the - Pension List would be a sufficient objection. Mr. BENNET thought the suggestion a most reasonable one. It was only desired to place those individuals on the List as vacancies should occur.: The Resolutions were then agreed to, and the Report order ed to be received on Monday. SCOTCH ROYAL BURGHS. The Scotch Royal Burghs Accounts Bill ,was read a third tim and passed. • - The Scotch Burghs Magistrates Residence Bill was read a third time. Lord BINNING proposed a clause by way of rider, that the . .majerity of the Town Council shall reside within three miles of the Council Chamber. - 111. 7 .1 E proposed an amendment to include the Mern' Sers of the 'fown.Council in the ciptration . of the- Bill, thereby obliging the whole of the Members of the Council to reside • within three 'milts of the town. This would be the only be nefit the Burgesses would have, and lie had rather lose the ,Bill for this Session than accept the half nieasure of the Noble Lord. • Mi. HOME DRUMMOND supported the amendment of his'Hon. Friend (Lord Binning.), The LORD ADVOCATE said that the clatise proposed by his NOble Friend Was in compliance with the directions of the Committee. •'The House then divided - --- • - For Mr. flume's Amendment - • : 20 Against it - - - • - - • - 26 • Majority against* - - —6 Lord BINN ixo's clause was then agreed to. Mr. HUME proposed an Amendment, that no Revenue Of- ficers.should he eligible•to be elected - Members of the Town- Council ih BUrgliS which sent Members of Parliament or Delegates. Lord BINNING thought the exclusion of Revenue Offi6ers to vtte for Members of Parliament was carrying the line fir( enough, without excluding those individuals from situations of this kind. • The House then divided— • For the Amendment - - - 20 Against it - - - - Majority - - —9 • Lord BINNING presented a Petition from certain Journey-, men Printers, complaining that they had been discharged from their employment by their masters in consequence of evidence giirembefore a Committee of that House, and praying the in tcrFerence of the House in their behalf. Mr. HUME and Mr. SMITH supported the Petition, which was read and ordered to be printed. THE CONSULATE OF THE BRAZILS. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY rose .to call the a'tten tion of the House to an order for• an address to the Crown which had been voted on a late occasion at the end of the night, when all other business had been disposed of. He al luded to an address for certain returns relative to the offices of Consul and Vice-Consul of, the -Brazils, whipli the House had been induced to accede to by the - assurance of the Hon. Member for Aberdeen ,(Mr. Hume) . ' that it was in conform ance with an arrangement with him. He would state the nature 'of the address, and the House would then judge if it were likely that he should agree to it. He had himself given notice of the motion which the Hon. Member at that hour of the night made ; and he begged to observe -that it was rather strange that the Hon. Member should undertake his business for him. It was at least unusual,- and certainly strange, - that in doing it the Hon. Member should actually implicate him in a criminal of fence. • The Address was for returns of certaincorrespon dence, and also for the. amount received -by. the Consul for the appointment of his . Viee Consul, with - the amount of. fees received annually, and levied on the-British merchants trading there.- This was distinctly alleging that Mr. Chamberlain had sold the office of Vice-Consul, which was a _criminal offence, cognizable as such by the law. He really thought. it was too much at. two o'clock in the morning to induce the House to vote such an Address, informing his Majesty of a .criminal offence, the documents of which were deposited in the office of one of his chief Secretaries. The Honourable Meniber, he believed, also talked of the fees in question being extorted.— Now,. in a letter he had received from Mr. Chamberlain, dated Bth December, 1817, he stated that no consular fees were levied at all, by him or his Vice-Consul—that nothing but notarial fees were taken for noting documents, which might be'done by any notary if the merchant chose, in place of the Vice-Consul. He also stated that so far from his deriving emolument from his Vice-Consul, that is 1815 he lost 7581. :and the following year, 5781. and that his Vice-Consul was then on the point of leaving him because he received only 7001. a year. Now it was not likely that a man would give a large sum for an office which it would not he worth his while to keep. He must say, that on an address of so singular a _character he knew not what advice to give the Crown, and he put it to the llouse and the Hon. Member whether it was a proper way of doing public business, to get up at the close of an evening to move such an address ?—(Hear, heat !) Mr. HUME was surprised to hear the complaint of the No ble Lord, when he remembered that the Noble Lord had told him, a few days before lie moved, that he might have all the information he wished for by moving. With regard to the letter.the Noble Lord had read, he begged to say that the alle gations he had made were not his own, but those of 74 out of 78 resident Merchant; and it was also to be remembered, that their Petition was later than the letter he had quoted, and that the writer could not know better, than the merchants them selves. But he assured the Noble Marquis, that he had no disposition to take any unfair advantage, and had he thought it was not his wish, he would not have moved an that occasion. For the future he would consult him more particularly when he had similar motions to make, and he hoped ha would not suppose he had wished to do any thing con r.try to the Nciale Lord's wishes. The•Alarquis of LONDONDERRY explained, that it had been . his intention to Mine for papers on this subject of a more comprehensive nature than the motion - .of the Hon. Member Went to. All that he complained of was that part of the Ad dress which insinuated his knowledge of a criminal offence ; and as they were both agreed in a desire of eliciting all infor mation on the subject, he suggested that the order for the Ad dress should be withdrawn, and he would take care that the object of the foul Member should be complied with, ' lIUME then withdrew the order for the Address. STEAM PACKETS. Lord BINNING presented a Petition from certain Inn keepers, Coachinasters, and others connected with . the Dover high-road tti' London, complaining of a great diminution of business from tic Establishment of steam boats between Lon don and Calais. They stated, that upwards of 1200 horses en gaged on that road must in 'consequence of this be sold, and 700 families thrown. out of employment more or less... The Revenue they stated 'would suffer by this alteration ii the mode of conveyance. They prayed that a tax might be put on steam boats. Mr. BERNAL said he had been requested by his consti tuents of Rochester to support the prayer of this Petition. After a few words from Mr. CALCRAFT and Mr. Mi:Siktrrni Mr. 11. GURNEY took that opportunity of suggesting to the Right Hon. Secretary for the Home Department the pro priety of appointing some one to-take the passports of the.alime 'at the Custom-house stairs, instead of coliglng the vesaela• to stop at Gravesend. •Mr. Secretary PEEL assured the lion. Gentleman that it had always been his intention to remedy this evil whenavei he should find that the paSsage by steam was fixed. He had now found that it was so ; and he had that morning apppinicki a person to. an office which would obviate the necessity of the vessels stopping at Gravesend. The Petition was ordered to be printed. THE DIANA TURKISH FRIGATE. . • Sir B. MARTIN, in allusion to what had fallen from the • Hon. and Gallant Member for Worcester (Colonel Davies) the other night on the subject of the Turkish frigate in the ThaMel taking in-military stores and British seamen, rose to state that his statement was quite erroneous. He then read a letter front Mr. Hamilton, in the office of the Marquis of Londonderry, to the Admiralty, to permit the ornamental part of the vessel to be furnished, but that nothing connected with the magazine or arming of her should be done. If any More had been don; it was the fault of the Dock Master. He bad written to inquire on:the subject, and found that the only English sailor entered to sail with her was the sailing master. He found that she was capable of carrying 56 guns, but that not one was mounted. As a merchant ship she came to this country, and as such, as far as the Government was "qoncerned, she would go out of it. If the Captain took on boat-a any military stores, he did so at his own -peril.—(Hear, hear !)—The report, therefore; of the Hon. and Gallant Member was quite wrong. Colonel DAVIES heard, with great pleasure, the explana tion of the Hon. Baronet. No blame, he Conceived, attached to him for having stated what had: been communicated to him on a subject calling for such serious attention. Mr. ROBINSON said, that when it was discovered that the war was broken out, there were forty Greek sailors belonging to the crew sent back at the charge of the Pacha of Egypt to Greece. ' Sir B. MARTIN said, that the Captain had been refused the means of conveying powder abroad. - Mr. W. SMITH presented a Petition from certain inhabi- tants of Hornsey and Islington, against the Highgate. clhapel Bill. • Referred to the Committee. Mr. GOULBURN presented a Petition from four of the -CoMmissioners, appointed to inquire - into the Fees of Courts of Justice in Ireland. They complained of some expressions in a letter 'of the Lord Chief Baron, and expressed their readi ness to meet inquiry and scrutiny. • " Mr. HUME asked how long thelahoUrs of this Commission were expected to last ? • Mr. GOULEURN said, that the Commissioners Were ap pointed to perform a certain duty, in w.,ich they had already proceeded with great advantage to taro public. How long they, would be oi.cupied in concluding it he bad no means of • knOwMg. • Mr. HUME said, that his reason for asking was, that he. had received information of a very young man, Mr. Plunkett, hav ing been appointed one of these Commissioners. If these ditties were so important; and likely to occupy a considerable time, he thought the appointments ought to be limited to men who had experienceand knowledge of legal matters, and .of the partieu. lar Courts to which the inquiry was directed. .• Mr. GOULBURN said, that it was quite true that Mr. Plunkett had been appointed a Commissioner, and it was also true that lie was a young man ; yet he was not so young as to be disqualified by his youth; and those most conversant with legal subjects, and wita the matters likely to come under the attention of the Commissioners, knew that Mr. Plunkett was well . qualified for the appointment. ALIENBILL kr. PEEL moved the third reading of the Alien Bill.-ITh e question ',:aving been pot from the'Chair„ - Mr. BERNAL expressed his strong disapprobation of the principle and details of the measure. It-was no longer called for by' any foreign war, but the ground on which it rested . was, that it was necessary for the sake of preserving our friendly re lations with Continental States. He then proceeded to reply to some remarks made on a former night in favour of the bill, by the President of the Board of Trade : he (Mr. Bernal) con tended, that though it was only to continue for two years, it contained in itself the seeds of perpetual regeneration. For the eery reasons for which the measure was solicited, it might be shown to be impolitic and unjust. If- the ordinary law were not sufficient for repressing the plots and machinations of aliens, when any extraordinary danger arose, thn: Minister might rely upon Parliament to afford him powers equal to the emergency. If projects against foreign States were concerted here, - it would be amply sufficient to preserve the bonds of amity, that the en terprise should be communicated through the medium, of the ordinary and established Envoys. From the rapid changes of opinion and government that had taken place in our own day in the old and n e w world, it was obvious that this very. Bill, brought into operation against exiles of- one sentiment, might be the very means of discord when the party professing that sentiment again came into power. The Bill had the etiect of producing a degree of suspicion and distiust in the minds of strangers, wholly inconsistent with their previous notions of British hospitality and generosity. Ile then entered into some historical details, to show that this country had at all: cornier periods previous to the adoption of Alien Bills, afforded to foreigners a liberal shelter and an undistinguishing proteCtion. Mr. WETHERELL commenced by complimenting his-Ho nourable Friend, the Member for Knaresborough, upon his speech against this-bill, appreciating, as 'he did, as highly as any one, the brilliance which it displayed. - But he considered it also to be full of brilliant error, to which he preferred sober judgment and plain facts. Being-confident that he had the latter on his side in this argument, . however hazardous might be the undertaking, he was ready to break a spear" . with*nis Honourable Friend upon this subject. His Hon. Friend and laid down that it was hostile to the Constitution to send an alien out of the country, after he had once landed in it. He was prepared to contend, that the right of doing so was a prir.. civic of the Constitution, and that it appeared upon Magna Charta itself. He argued that the exclusive admission of mer chant strangers, by that act, proved the recognitiob of a right to prevent other descriptions of aliens prom coming tq -or re maining in the country. He took it, that upon the abstract principle of right, no State was independent who could not , say to the subjects of another State, You shall not come here." His Honourable Friend, the Member for Knaresbo rough, would not, he thought, deny this. Neither would it be disputed' that the law gave the-. Government a - power over our own subjects to prevent their going abroad, and if they were abroad, to renal them. Then, if natural-born subjects were liable to the exercise of this po*er over their movements, who should say that aliens were to be put in a more favourable situation, without arguing the point whether strangers should have the same rights and privileges as the people of this cour,. try ; die thought no one would be hardy enough to say, that they should have greater ones. The Hon. and Learned Gen tienian then went into an historical enumeration of cases in the reigns of Elizabeth, James I. and George I. where subjects of this country had been recalled, and disobedience to the Ring's mandate punished with the confiscation of property. This, too, was done without the parties having any appeal to the Piivy Council, or elsewhere, as was provided for Aliens by the present Bill. In the works of that great lawyer, Sir M. Hale, he had nointed out two classes of persons who might be preventedland ing in this country, or being landed,might be directly sent away, without infringing upon the provisions of Magna.Charta,.which ' referred only to merchant strangers. He was willing to„adtuit • ' ' •
