JAMES and EDWARD ATKINSON respectfully solicit the attention of the Public to the above article; they will not presume to point out the a nta-contagious qualities of Camphor, but they fearlessly Challenge a comparison with any article sold under the name of Camphor Soap ; indeed, many have nothing of Camphor but the name, but this may at once be known by its fragrance and appearance. It is perhaps the most Powerful preparation of Camphor that can be formed in a fixed state. It is a most excellent Soap for wathing, being v ery mild, correcting all hardness and redness of the skin arising from labour or inclement weather, and its sooth ing properties for chapped hands are too well known to need repetition. It readily dissolves in water, communi cating to it a flavour equal to what is usually sold as Spirits of Camphor, and its aroma immediately fills the atmosphere of the largest apartment.—Price Is. the square.. N.B. Prepared also in Shaving Cakes, various sizes. Also ATKINSON'S CONCENTRATED ESSENCE of CAMPHOR, the strongest preparation of Camphor that can be made in a liquid state. A few drops added to Lavender Water, Eau de Cologne, or any other article, tnakes what is known as Camphorated Lavender, &c. Also ATKINSON'S CAMPHOR PASTE, particu - 'llly adapted to a cold season for preventi ng th e h an d s C aapping and immediately allaying the pain.

Total. ..... .......i 619,645 3 2 At the rising of the Court of King's Bench yesterday, the ATToRNFT.GENERAL gave notice that on the first day of next term he would move for criminal infor mations against certain Papers, which had inserted a most scandalous and wicked libel on the character of the Duchess of RICIIMOND. The Learned Gentleman said his notice was grounded upon an affidavit made by the Noble Duke, in which he swore that the whole of the paragraph was false, and that no ground existed for it, as no persons lived upon such good terms as the Noble coeple. A very curious and interesting feature in the lately published "Memoirs of Madame Junot (Duchess of Abrantes)" consists of the animated details given by that lady of the state of female society in France during the Revolution, when social 'as well as political order received so severe a blow. Guided by the authoress, we penetrate to the very centre of private life during that troubled pe riod, and see, for the first time, what was the effect of faction on the lives of the gentler part of the creation in the most refined circles. The anecdotes illustrative of this will not easily be forgotten. Such is the taste for gaudy ornaments even among the lower class of females in Spain, that it is not unusual to see numerous rings gracing the fingers of a common beggar. Died at Liverpool, aged 102, Mr. HUGH EvANs, tailor. He was a native of Anglesea, North Wales, and came over to Liverpool to make mourning at the death of GEORGE 11., having been engaged for that purpose. He worked at his business till within the last seven years, and retained his sight and hearing until the hour of his dissolution. We understand that frauds on the Revenue by the illicit distillation of spirits, and the illegal manu facture of soap, paper scaleboard, and other articles sub ject to duty, notwithstanding the exertions and renewed vigilance of the Excise department, and the officers con nected therewith, have of late been carried on to a great extent, and the offiical returns are consequently very much reduced in amount. Captain FRANKLAND'S " Narrative of his Visit to the Courts of Russia and Sweden," has now issued from the press. The facilities which this officer enjoyed of mixing with the first society at St. Petersburgh, Moscow, and Stockholm, afforded him an opportunity of describing the manners of high life in these great northern capitals which seldom falls to the lot of the traveller. The volumes present the most modern picture of the manners, customs, amusements, and existing condition of the colossal nation, which extends from the banks of the Elbe to those of the Indus. The author's remarks on the present mili tary power and resources of Russia and Sweden, of the former in particular, impart an additional value to his amusing narrative. Mr. BERNAL, and others frqm the Commons, brought up . the Embezzletnent Bill, and the'Corporate Funds Bill ; which, on the motion of the Eail of SuArrEsnuav, were severally read a first time, and ordered to be printed. The Earl of KINNOUL presented a petition from certain freeholders, Magistrates, and Commissioners of Supply of the county of Perth, against the Remorm Bill. The Office of Works Consolidation Bill was read a third time and passed. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE presented rettlt of outrages in Ireland as ordered, which were referred to the Irish Tithe Committee. Their Lordships then adjourned the House till Thurs day, in consequence of there being no business before the House for to-morrow. HOUSE OF COMMONS, JANUARY 31. At Four o'clock the SPEAKER took his sear. _Mr. Aldermen WOOD brought in a Bill to alter and 'arnetuNbe Acts passed for the improvement of the ap- proaches to London-bridge, which was read a first time. Mr. FAZA KERLY presentetl a petition from the owners of real property in the ough of Peterborough, against the General Registry B:11. Sir R. VYVYAN, in consequence of the unavoidable absence of the Noble Secretary for Foreign Affairs, post poned his motion relating to Holland and Belgium ; and as he understood from that Noble Lord that the ratification of the treaty would take place this day, and be laid before the House on Thursday, he would bring his motion forward on that 'lay. Lord KILLEEN presented a petition from the county of Meath, praying that in the Reform Bill provision might be made to give an additional number of Members beyond those at present proposed. Mr. CYCONIsiEIa supported the prayer of the petition upon three grounds—first, that the Irish Reform Bill did not give that country a sufficient number of Members; secondly, that it did not increase the constituency beyond 200 or 300; and, thirdly, 'that the Bill did not propose to alter the present harsh and unjust system of registra tion. The people of Ireland were desirous of being placed upon the same footing as those in England, with less than which they would not be content. Lord KILLEEN moved for returns of the superannna tions granted to police constables in Ireland. Mr. J. C. DUNDAS presented a petition from the owners of real property in Richmond (Yorkshire) against the General Registry Bill. Mr. SANDFORD presented a similar petition from a parish in Somersetshire ; and also one from the glove makers of Yeovil, complaining of the stagnation in their trade, arising from the immense importations of French gloves. _ _ Mr. GORE LANGTON, as representative for the county of Somerset, supported the prayer of the petition, and contended that the introduction of French gloves ought to be wholly prohibited. lie wished persons would give the preference to English manufactured goods, in stead of resorting to goods of foreign manufacture. Sir H. WILLIAMSON presented a petition from the county of Durham against the General Registry Bill, signed by 1,920 owners of real property; also similar petitions from Darlington, Stainsthrop, Gainsbotough, Pomfret, and other places. Mr. D. W. HARVEY presented a petition from cer tain persons in the city of London, praying for an altera tion in the new Bankrupt Act. The Hon. Member then moved for various returns, which, in consequence of the low tone they were read in, were inaudible in the gallery. We however understood them to be returns of all the property that had come to the Crown in consequence of the intestacy of persons, and how disposed of, since the year 1800. Mr. SPRING RICE did not object to the motion of the Hon. Member, but he wished to forewarn the House of what the expense attendant upon such a motion would most unquestionably be. It would take the Solicitor to the Treasury, and his three clerks, upwards of six months in making out the returns, during which time all other proceedings would be put a stop to in that office. If the House should choose to grant the papers, he would not dispute its right to do so, but he must then have his estimates in that department increased. He had no objection whatever to a statement being laid before the House of what the expence of furnishing the returns would be, but he thought that it was not advisable to accede to the motion of the Hon. Member till that fact was known. Mr. D. W. HARVEY had no hesitation in saying, unless there was something behind, that the expense of these returns would not exceed forty or fifty shillings. Mr. HUME thought the motion was one of great im portance, and ought to bi acceded to. If no account had been given on the subject for the last thirty years, the House was imperiously called upon to have the accounts. He had no objection whatever to allow time if any ar rangement was necessary. Mr. S. RICE did not refuse the production of the ac counts, but his only object in stating what he had done, was if possible to save expense. If the Hon. Member was willing to take the account for seven years instead of thirty, no thing would be more easy than furnishing it. He would net throw any dtfliculty in the way of getting informa tion, but he wished the House not to throw any unneces sary expence upon the country. Mr. HUME wished to know whether the Secretary of the Treasury annually returned an account upon this subject ? Mr. SPRING RICE could not positively state whe ther that bad been done for the last thirty years, but be believed from the regularity of that department that it had. At any rate an abstract of the account might be easily obtained. Mr. HUAIE was quite sure that that would satisfy the House. Mr. D. W. HARVEY had no objection to make the return from 1823. The SPEAKER here stated, that the Hon. Member was not in order, for, in fact, there was no motion before the House. The order alluded to by him having been made in July last, and the present object of the Hon. Member being to have that order put in force forthwith. Mr. D. W. HARVEY then said he would with draw the motion for to-day, and bring it before the House to-morrow in an amended form. The Hon. Member then presented a petition from an individual (whose name we could not bear), stating that the sunk island estate in Yorkshire was worth 10,0001. per annum. It was let at the present moment for 2,5001., and the petitioner prayed that it might not be let in future without a public sale. BREACH OF PRIVILEGE. The SPEAKER then called upon Colonel Davies, when Mr. PERCEVAL rose.—He did so for the purpose of calling the attention of the House to a breach of its pri vileges. It would be in the recollection of the House, that on Thursday last, previous to his moving an ad dress to his Majesty for a general fast, he enforced the standing orders of the House, for the exclusion of strangers, but very much to his surprise, on the suc ceeding morning some of the public newspapers had a re port of the proceedings of the House during that exclusion—such being the case, he had felt himself impera tively called upon to bring the subject before its attention. To exclude strangers from the House upon certain occa sions was a highly valuable privilege which they had re ceived from their ancestors, and which it was their duty to band down to posterity ; and if through negligence that privilege was grossly invaded, or if allowed to fall into disuse, although they themselves might not reap its present inconveniences, yet posterity would, and the blame attach to that House. The duty of preserving this privilege, and of defending it when infringed on, rested on their shoulders, and the mere calling the attention of the House to this fact in general was almost sufficient of itself to furnish a ground for the motion be should submit. He begged leave to observe that the individual who chose to infringe on the privil eges of the House, without the intervention of the usual authorised channels in which, with some degree of accuracy, they were banded to the public, was answer able to the House for all the misrepresentations and inaccuracies which he sent forth to the public. The report of the speech which he had made on a late occasion, while it just gave s o muc h o f w h a t h e sa id as t o p rove that it wa s g i ven by an individual who was pre sent and he ar d t h e debate, was yet suc h as no intelligent man could read without seeing that it bad been decidedly drawn up with the intention of throw ing the speech into ridicule.—(Hear.) He charged that reporter, who ever furnished "it, with direct falsehood, which he would make good, and likewise with the general intention of throwing the whale speech into ridicule, as well as of perverting what he actually did state. In the very earliest part of that debate it was plainly said that " he would not allow the public to know the blasphemies that might be spoken in answer to that speech ; that the blasphemers, if any, in , that House might not be able to give publicity to their blasphemies." Now this was just as untrue as anything that a man having a peg to hang his conscience upon, could give utterance to. He stated it would ill become him, after the patient attention shown to him on a former occasion, to imagine that any blasphemy would be uttered in answer to his speech. He exercised merely the privilege of excluding strangers for this purpov. To show the animus in which the report had been drawn up, he would give another instance with a view to the motion he was about to make. He was made to say the t he had spoken with great earnestness, "in his usual `ray, when he was urr'er an influence." There was no individual who herd that phrase that could at all doubt the mind of the penon who chose to publish such a statement. All he stated was, that if he had spoken with considerable excitement, it was with eagerness and kvarmth, but without being carded away by pas ton. But he would come to the passage which was of the greatest importance, and he would undertake to say that no man who heard his speech, who knew him and his principles, could have sent forth such a statement. He was made to say this, " Let the Kings and Priests be expelled, and all such mummery be averted, unless the House would listen to his voice, for a fast and humiliation." He would say that a grosser perversion and rnisrepreser.tation it was utterly impossible to commit. He had read these passages to show the errors to which individuals subjected themselves, if they chose, in contravention of the orders of the House, to give forth reports of what passed in closed doors. He would move that the printer of this Paper be ordered to attend at the bar of the House, (Mr. Perceval holding in his hand a copy of the Times newspaper of the 27th instant). He was aware that the report had appeared in three Morning Papers—in the Tinzas and Chronicle in the regular form of reporting, and also in the Herald, in a less ostentatious and irregular form. He thought it, however, advisable to select one, and to move that the printer of the Times, John Joseph Lawson, attend on Thursday next at the bar of the House. —( Hear.) Mr. Perceval then moved that the speech be read, and the Clerk of the House read the introductory paragraph. Mr. CRESSET PELHAM seconded the motion. Mr. HUME rose and said, Sir, there can be no doubt, that by the rules of this House, publishing the debates of this House is a breach of its privileges, and I have humbly en deavoured, again and again, to have that law repealed. My opinion is that the law in that respect ought not to be what it is ; but as the law now exists, and as it undoubt edly has for a long time been, every newspaper report of our proceedings here is in contravention of the rules of this House. I therefore apprehend the Hon. Member know ing that, does not on this occasion mean to complain of the reporting of the debates generally, but simply of this par ticular report of this particular speech of his own.—(Hear. ) If that be so, then a question arises how far this report is correct, and secondly, who is answerable for it if it is not correct ? Now, Sir, I can have no hesi tation in stating that when I found I could not carry the question against excluding strangers when that speech was delivered, I aid every thing in my power to note down every sentence the Hon. Member spoke, and having so done, I also have no hesitation in declaring that on getting outside to the door, I gave my notes to a gen tleman whom I met with outside, to do with them just what he pleased.—(Loud cheers.) I was not aware that he was the reporter of the Times. He was connected I believe with another paper that has not been mentioned, hot if he had been the reporter of the Times, lam sure I would have given him my notes just as readily as I glye them to the gentleman to whom.. I delivered them.—(Hear, hear.) I have not read over the whole that appears in the report now complained of, but what I have read of it ig, in my opinion, quite correct. There are some long comments to the report, which I did not give, but other Hon. Members may have given them, and between all the gifts the report and the comments may have been made up.—(Cheers and much laughter.) Now, Sir, though it is against the rules of this House that re ports of the debates here should be made, yet it remains for me to learn that I, a Member of this House, am not en tirely and perfectly at liberty to take notes of what may be said that I think proper, and again that I am not at liberty to do with those notes just what I please.—(Loud cheers and laughter.) I can only tell the Honourable Member below me, that if he clears the gallery again to morrow, I shall de all I can in furthering what I conceive to be nothing but justice, right, and truth.— (Hear, hear, hear.) I have heard of no errors being in this report, except from the Hon. Member himself.— ( Hear, hear, hear.) I have observed that some Hon. Members of the House have addressed the Papers stating that the report is correct. Other Members, if they took the trouble of listening to the speech, I am sure will also be able now to state that it is strictly correct. Undoubt edly I must admit, that when a gentleman speaks for an hour and a half, and another gentleman who is riot accustomed to reporting, attempts to note down every sentence, it is very likely that he may omit part of some sentences, or not write down the exact phrases. But, Sir, I will conclude, by saying, that I meant to give a faithful report. I am sorry it is:net considered even by the Hen. Gen tleman himself to be a faithful . report. This I will promise the Hon. Member, that if be should on another occasion avail himself of the privileges of the House, perhaps practice may make me perfect.—(Loud laughter.) I shall endea vour to be more accurate on that occasion —(Hear, hear) —and do my utmost to give the best report of it I can.— (Hear, hear.) Sir, it only comes to this, which I have over and over again advocated, that instead of leaving the reports of this House to be reported by unauthorised re porters, we should have persons regularly appointed, whose duty it would be officially to give the reports, and until that is done it is utterly impossible to suppose we can have a better system of reporting than we have. It is wonderful to see with what accuracy reports are made. In debates of importance I have myself followed the reports, passage after passage, and have found, as far as my own recollection would go, scarcely a single error.— (Hear, hear.) I can only assure the Hon. Member I was not desirous of giving any improper gloss whatever to hie speech, or using any improper phrase, and I am sorry that he has not had a more accurate and a more able reporter, but the cause rests entirely with himself, namely, that of having cleared the gallery, and removed the more accurate reporters than myself.—(Hear, hear.) I did the beet I could. lie might have had better—he being himself to blame for not having had a better.---(Great cheering.) The SPEAKER said that of all the extraordinary de • clamations which he had ever heard made in that House —the most extraordinary was that which had just been made by the Hon. Member for Middlesex—(Hear)—not in the nature of a confession, but an open avowal; be cause the Honourable Member stated that it was not a breach of privilege for him to furnish the public with reports of the debates of that House.—(Hear, hear.) He the Speaker must, however, state that it was a breach of privilege for any Hon. Member to furnish the public with even his own speech.—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") Honestly believing that the Hon Mem ber mi.conceived what were the privileges of the House, the very step taken by the Hon. Member was a breach of privilege. With the accuracy of the Hon. Member's statement the House had nothing to do. The breach of privilege was, in publishing the debates, and he need not remind the House how futile that privilege would be if Members themselves were allowed to furnish the public with the debates. Himself, or the Hon. Member for Middlesex, must be greatly in error, if he (Mr. Hume) believed that he was authorised to publish speeches made in that House, or he (the Speaker) in declaring it to be a breach of privilege.—(Loud cries of "Hear, hear.") Lord ALTHORP said, there was no person in that House who would not most heartily concur that the publishing of the debates of the House was a breach of privilege, whether by any Hon. Member or by any other person. He was, therefore greatly surprised to hear the avowal of the Hon. Member for Mid dlesex. If the Hon. Member who brought forward the motion chose to enforce it, he did not see how the House could refuse it, but he put it to the Hon. Member whether the privileges of the House would be benefitted by it ? Hon. Members would recollect on referring back to the history of the country, that the debates of that House were published during the last century, but tinder fictitious names, to avoid a breach of privilege. Printers of newspapers did their best to gain all the intelligence of what passed hi.:-'*thought, -by the mode 'mafite th e ef ligence a if4 n o d o t e h d eir in ha th v i i s ng eas o e b , ta d in id ed no t t he , fence against the privileges of the House afty ; greater, In both cases there would be a clear breach of the privileges of the House. He put it to the Hon. Gentleman opposite, whether he thought it worth his while to persevere in his motion, awl hoped the Hon. Member would reconsider it. Col. DAVIES thought that a breach of privilege had been committed by the Hon. Member for Middlesex, instead of the printer of the Times, for that Hon. Mem ber was the person who published the debate, by giving it to a person outside the House, which person inserted it in the newspaper.—(Hear.) If the printer of the Times were guilty, every printer of a newspaper would be guilty, and ought also to he called to the Bar on Thursday ; but he asked what would the Hon. Member gain by his motion ? The common sense and the common feeling of the public, and the common sense and the common feeling of that House, were opposed to this privilege. He hoped, therefore, the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Perceval), having done his duty in bringing forward the subject, would not persist in his motion. Mr. C. PELHAM declared that it was for the honour and character of that House that the Hon. Member (Mr. Percevel) bad brought forward his motion, and be (Mr. Pelham) should be ashamed if he did not assist in forward.. ing it. Coupled with this motion a question had arisen re specting the exercise of the privileges of the House, and the Noble Lord (Althorp) opposite had told them that the debates were published in the middle of the last century: He (Mr. Pelham) could inform the House, that they were published in the century previous, and when Lord Staf ford was brought to the scaffold. Mr. O'CONNELL said nothing was so distinctly e breach of privilege as publishing what took place in that House ; but, strange to say, there was nothing more distinct from each other than the privilege and the practice of it. The privilege was that nothing should be published, but the practice was to publish as much as possible.—(Laughter.) In this case, however, it appeared that the practice was broken, for the Honourable Member (Mr. Percevel) delivered a long speech, whereas, but a short one wag published.—(Laughter.) If this priVilege were rigidly enforced to-morrow, there was not a hamlet within the country but would loudly cry out against it. The privilege declared that no stranger should be in the House, and yet every Member could give an order to admit one, se different was the practice from the privilege. They had already heard religious dissertations in that House, and perhaps they might go on until they were occupied in religious controversies, and by and bye, theological subjects would be frequently discussed —some of them not unlikely in the unknown tongue.—(A laugh.) If the discussion of religious subjects was encouraged, there was no saying to what length of wild extravagance they might go. If the breach of the privilege was ever good, it was good on these occasions—it was good to let in the light of public opinion on such discussions. There was no doubt of the' Hon. Gentleman's sincerity, end of the purity of his motives ; but for that reason he 0,0014 wish the Hon. Gentleman not to persevere in his motion: He (Mr. O'Connell) admitted that the reported speech was not a good speech—not so good as that which he had the honour of listening to for an hour and a half— (A laugh)—from the Hon. Member; but he thought it was correct in substance. He hoped the Hon. Gentle man would abandon this motion; if not, after what had passed, be (Mr. O'Connell) should think himself justi• fled in moving the previous question. Lord MILTON believed that the publication of debate in all ordinary times, was au much calculated to gratify public curiosity, that in such times the House might well connive at it. But that which the Hon. and Learned Member who had just sat down seemed to suppose of 80 little importance, was in fact not unimportant, either to that House or to the liberties of the people. The repre , sentatives of the people in that House should speak with out fear or affection ; but he would suggest to tie Hon. and Learned Member whether their doing so was all times consistent with the publication of their debates ? For the purpose of securing the freedom of their debates, he thought it was right that they should still continue to exorcise the right of denying to strangers admission to that House, and of thus preventing the publication of their debates— Ne quid i'espubliCa detriment' caperet. For that reason, he thought that the mere notice of strangers being in that House should be sufficient to call on the Speaker to exclude them, not from any jealousy of public opinion, but with a view to protect themselves in other respects. Above all, it was important, that if they excludgd strangers, with a view to preventing the publi cation of their debates, those debates should not be given to the Papers by Members of that House. He thought it was for the advantage of the people themselves, that when a Member of Parliament was speaking under such cirs cumstances he should not think that another was listening to him for the purpose of reporting his speech. It was as desirab'e sometimes that their speeches should not go into palaces--(Hear)—as int, towns; and it was as against the Crown that he was desirous of supporting the privilege. Mr. O'CONNELL asked whether some steps were not necessary to ascertain the correctness or incorrectness o f the report before this motion could be agreed to ? The SPEAKER said that the breach of privilege was complete on the pub ication. The correctness or incor rectness of the report made no difference. Mr. ROBINSON and Mr. WARBURTON rose to. , gethur. There was a loud call for the latter, but he gave way, and Mr. Robinson addressed the House. He ob served that the question was whether the Hon. Member had made out a sufficient ground for that House to exercise its powers. The complaint of the Hon. Member seemed to him to be not so much that the speech was published as that it was incorrect. That appeared to him an extra ordinary ground. The Hon. Member complained of the incorrectness of the report, when he himself had occa sioned that incorrectness by the coarse which he had taken. If the House went into a division, he should vote against the motion. Mr. WARBURTON could not allow his Hon. Friend, the Member for Middlesex, exclusively to bear the blame of this transaction; for he bad taken notes of the Hon. Gen tleman's speech, and had endeavoured to take them most accurately. If they were not accurate, he could only say that he had used his utmost effc,rts to make them so. He had sent his notes to a reporter.—.(Hear, hear.) He was aware that the publication of what passed in that House was a breach of privilege; but he was not aware that it was more exclusively a breach of privilege if the report was furnished by a Member, than if giver, in those re ports which the House of Commons constantly connived at. As to what had fallen from the Noble Lord opposite (Milton), as to a Member giving the report, and thus placing himself in opposition to the resolution of that House to exclude strangers, and thus prevent the publica tion of the debates, he begged to say, that no Member had an opportunity of gainsaying any Member who might choose to tell the Speaker that strangers were present. His opinion was, that under those circumstances, the dis cretion of Members in publishing the report was wisely ex ercised. Mr. JAMES GORDON agreed with the Speaker about the law of privilege. The circumstances here inoked not unlike a confederacy against the introduction of topics of the utmost importance. He meant religious discussions, which were of importance to them as the representatives of religious people. What the Hon. and Learned Memher for Kerry had stated was not a reason to exclude religious discussions, but it might be a reason to exclude those who would produce religious controversies.—(oh ! and laughter.) There had been no danger of these contro versies until the lax opinions of the present (lay had shaken the Constitution, which had before stood upon a Protestant basis.—(oh, oh, oh.) He should consistently express his opinions—he should have the courage to speak or to walk out of the House.—(Hear, bear.) The charge against the unknown tongues ought not to come from a quarter where there had been long usages of the unknown tongues. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that the importance of the present motion had been much sunk by the declara tions of the Hon. Members opposite.—(Hear.) He there fore trusted it would not be pressed. It was undoubtedly the custom of the House to connive at the publication of the reports of the debates, and great benefit was thereby derived by the country; but he also thought that it was very advantageous that it should be within the privilege of any Member to exclude any strangers, and confine the debates to the walls of the House.—(Hear, hear.) He trusted that his Hon. Friend, the Member for Middlesex, would see the matter in this light, and that after what had fallen from the Speaker, there would be an understanding that the seine coui se would not be pursued again; on which he hoped that the present proceeding would be allowed to fall to the ground.—(Hear, hear.) Sir R. PEEL laboured under the disadvantages of no t having heard the whole discussion, but he believed that the motion was to call a printer to the bar. He felt that there would be a great difficulty in acceding to this mo tion, as he was sure his Hon. Friend (Mr. Perceval) new must, after the admission made by the Hon. Members, that the report in question had been sent by them to the Press. At any time to call a printer, a mere subordinate instrument, to the bar, was a matter of difficulty, but that s w el u ves d , ou th b a ly t itnhcereparsiencleiwpablenagietntwsa s i n a v bre a ch w and f by pr privilege th e l e m g were Members of the House , who, whether well advised avowed, ed or not, had dime what was complained of.
