Mr. BRAND presented a Petition from certain Freeholders and Inhabitants of the county of Berl ford, against the renewal of the Habeas Cur. pus Suspension Act.-. 41 m Petition was read, and ordered to lie on the table. Mr. BRAND said he had another Petition to preseot on the same subject from an individual. The petitioner stated that lie had been taken up in early life under the }lobes Corpus Suspension Act, and imoisoned for several years. In con. sequence of this he lust all he bad previously possessed, and was totally ruined. The indivi• dual was now in London, was a person of good reputation, and was again in flourishing 6.cm /stances. To him (Mr. Brand), the object of the petitioner appeared to be rather to repel the etosrires formerly brought against him, than to complain of the renewal of the Suspension Act, h owe i er mi,ct i . he might lament that Goveroment should consider this to be necessary. The prti. rimier stated himself to have been Niter) up in the y esir 1193, end to hare been kept in solitary eon- Einemeut hsr thirty.two weeks. This took plate snider the Duke of Portland. The petitioner was soit.red his enlargement, on his producing two persons to be bound as his seenthies in 501. each. tin his refusing to do this, he wes put to the bar ‘with a bookseller 'shorn he had never spoken to but or, matters of business ; with one person nation he bad never spoken to ; and with one VPhillTi be had never been in his life. The Attor riey-Uenerei of that day had then floated, that he . bad no evidence to produce 1471ainest the petitioner, who was accordingly itegoitted. lie was, how. re.imprisoned, arof his health became, in consequenee,serioosly import/ed., and he WEIS then ofVrett his liberty, on conditino that he should go ehroed. This offer he refused,. as• he had door the former, turd wished it to be brought to trial, that he might have an, opportunity at vindicating bitreanduct. He was confined et Reading for *boot three years, when he was brought bark to .tendon in order to be liberated on his own recog viierinee. So little had appearedatgainst 11;6,1110i every OCCalaCitt he wasotlered his enlargement hill emit rettioiittnee, or oa his swine ; two seeuritiis 4 bound in the small Solt of AIM Siva oNers cool() not be easily justified, if the person bad commit ted an offence of so 'feint:qv, a name as to merit the puoishnient to which: he had been sublected. On his being brought back to London be was tar ried bCfore Mr. Justice Ford, who congretolated him on his being ninon to be released, after suf. tering so long a confinement, on a condition merely nornieal—ou his entering into a recognizance of 10001. This offer he refused, as he was in eft 'Peet at tote that the Suspension would soon be taken off, when lie intended bringing his action for the imprisonment he had sustained. Disappointed in this hope, he had at length availed himself of the offer which lord been made, and was set at liberty. When the habeas Corpus Act was suf fered to expire, he Commenced ,legal proceedings against those by whom he had been confined, when he was stopped by a Bill of Indemnity, which then, es he (Mr. Brand) thought, was Inc'. properly passed ;, and thns he was precluded from seeking redress; :amt front' vindicatiog his charac ter. The iustieldual had then nothiug to do:but to declare, as be now did in this •Petition, before biecountry, personated" ,hythat Honse, end as he also declared with epos' , solemnity before Almighty God, that he never, Was- in any way guilty of tharwhich he understood to have berm imputed to him. The Hon. Member took aces. Sion to say, he stinuld have little objection to 13 1 4 1 Miiiiiters with the Habeas Corpus Suppe!). shin, it th e y could themselves ste , all the eases to which it was applied. 'The Petitioner believed himself to have been subjected to the bard. ships ahreve stated, through the Machittatians of a person of infainoes character, who was em ployed to give information to tiovertinient, and who, at the instance of the Petitioner, hail been expelled on }medium of his bad conduct from a Society to which he had belonged. The holi• victual from whom the Petition came, finally.proy ed that if the House had any:dimbt respecting his conduct, that they would permit him 'to vindicate himself at heir bar ; attic et all events called anion them not to aeCede to the Measure oboist to be pro. nosed against the Lherties Of the country. Mr. littougli 4)4 lucre took OCCalitill to, coil the attention oldie tionk to acircarnstence which had recently occurred, not immediat e ly connect e d with the suhicet before the 1 - 10iise ; he alluded to *Misrepresentation of whet lie had said on Friday last, which . had appeared in a Newspaper. He was the very last person in the House to complain of such a breech of privilege, hot in a case of ins. perious necessity. lie did not intend to move that the Printer of the Newspaper which he al• hided should he called to the Bar, but it was ad• milted on all hands, that there were limita beyond which such mis-stntements ought not so he allow. ed to pass; which could not be exceeded without laying the party concerned under the necessity of contradicting them. In this preditarrient he now stood. A meat false, groundless, and as he could not help thinkieg, a malicious public at i on , b a d taken place with respect to him . its Nu Evening Paper of last Saturday. It appeared its the *hope 'of a comment on the debate of Friday, and he thought another Member' had a right to complain of the article as well as himself—the Noble Lord opposite, one of the Members for Yorkshire (Lord Lascelles,) since a sitedek had been pot inter hie mouth oldie') he lied never uttered.. it !tad been, asserted that the'Nohle Lord had stated its direct terms that he (Mr. Brougham) tool been guilty of a wilfull misrepresentation. 1t Wai ot►neressary to say, evet, if The diaracter of the Noble Lord op posite were not k nown to he shir ectly et veriauce with such conduct, that this could not he true . ; language like, that imputed to him could not he used in that 1im0... The Noble Lord bad saidl that concessions were made on both sides in the Committee. He (Mr. Broiiiihatit) might he par, stoned when he said (since coorcSsioes of facts could not he made) that he (the Noble Lord) had used an improper repression. He had afterwards done justice to the Noble Lord's meaning, when he understood that he had !imam to Say, corrections were supplied on both sides. All the reports in the other papers wed e correct, or at least free from the offensive inaccuracy complained of. 'that which he now took occasion to refer to ws* one of the most offensive that lord ever occurred amongst the many instances of reisrepaetentatioo. The comment had appeared in the courier on report which was published in the Moruint Chronicle. and his reason for thinking; the lois. representalion not unintentional was, that in au. other part of the same Paper there appeared a cot , . re': , and inoffensive report of what had actually passed. This he had slionOt it right to hike souse notice Of, as it was really a ease which al. most called for the interference of the House, in order to protect other Members from similar treat. mot. Lord LASCELLES had been as Much Ofetided R 9 /1011. Gentleman could be when be read the article referred to. It was a complete mil -state ment, and to hint it appeared to have been taut invidiously made. He had sat in drat H o use many years, but bad never been in the habit of making statements calculated to woond the feel ings of others. He had been the r"..vore shocked at tvi k it had been mentioned, from seeing a correct report of whist pursed in another part oldie same Paper. This had proved to him that it must have been iniendoo d fly done. He might have been a little irritated at the - moment in consequence of the wish eysprested by the Learned Gentleman, that his (Lord Lascelles) speech should he printed and circulated with the Report, tit* he hatisupposeil this meant to charge him with having said some thing that was ludicrous or not quite correct, and on this he had said, that be was not accustomed to rise for the, purpose of misrepresenting fact s . He disclaimed all personal animosity towards the Honourable and Learned Gentleman, or any other Menrber, and declared what be had said . to have originate., in the mere irritation of the moment. Mr. BnotionAst gave credit to The Noble Lord for Isis candid stns, manly conduct on all occasions. He had been satisfied that he (Lord Laseellers) would be as tinsels flifensled with the article be had noticed, ris he (Mr. Brougham), Isitoself What he had raid only tome out of the circuits • stance i . .)f concessions hying beets mistaken for corrections. The Petition (pre.onted by Mr. Aram]) vas. then reit].

The Petition was then ordered to tie on the table. Sir C. MORDAUNT presented lietitioni from the Count? of Warwick, against the Stispension of the Habeas Corpus Act. He had been requested to present and support the prayer of the petition, but with the lest pert of tins r e q uest be could no t comply. Mr. DUGDALE, fromt various eirctunstanees which hod lately occurred its several counties, was of opinion the sus pension of the Habeas Corpus Act seas iiitssafy to the safety of the country. The petition Wel t h en read, and ordered to lie on the tablet Mr. PEEL presented Papers respecting the Charges fur embodying the Militia in Ireland, -..Ordered to lie un the table. O n the motion of Mr. TIERNEY, Accounts of the Beebe quer Bills now outstanding, and of the Unfunded Debt, up to the latest period to which the same could be made were ordered to be laid bef ore t h e H ouse . Nir JAMES MACKiNTosii postponed his motion respect= ing the bruits of the Crown till Tuesday next. , HABEAS CORPUS SUSPENSION BILL. The Order of the Day tor the first reading of the Bill front the Lords, for suspending the Ha beas• Corpus Act, having been read, 'Lod CASTLISREAUFI said, no individual could feel More deepfy than lie did, the importance of that measure which he now considered it to be his duty to recommend to the House. He was sensible of the heavy responsibility which must fall on those who called for it, and on all hands. it must be ad. ntittetho be a serious- encroachuienc on the rights of the subject, during the time for which it was to be continued. It then became i question, whether the internal state of the .country was such as to Can for so - strong a measure,—whether the ordinary lawi were sufficient-a-or whether, if these were not suffi, icor, other measures, less strong than the Suspension of she Habeas Corpus, ought hot to be resorted to? In argUing on this measure, he protested at- the outset against any inference being drawn, that MiniSters, in forming their judgment on it, were subject to any undue bias iii its favour. He trusted that be was ad dressing an audience who were too ,feirly clis a pined, to believe such powers wouitthecalled for if the Members at the Administration believed the Government of the country could safely go on %%idiom them. Nothing but a Sense of duty—but a conviction, that for the safety of thelOyal amid the peaceable, and for the preservation of the Constitution itself, they were necessary, could, Ile was certain, have made them content to take upon themse[ves that arduous responsibility which .attached to a measure like that now under the consideration of the H ouse . H e hope(' their past conduct WWI such, HS to prove they would Hot have advised the continuance of the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act, if they Were Hot sa tisfied, that of all the measures that could be resorted to, this would be the most ellectunl, and might, as.it would b e used, prove least injurious to the people at large. The Course pursued by Mioisters, in confining the measure to ibis part of the kingdom, and in limitiog to time as they loot dune, must, he thought, prove to every im .portial p erson , t h at they were unts.llm.g to over step the necessity of the case, or to apply the Iw when in force to any but its legitimate objects— the preservation of the Coustitmion, and the pro tection of the loyal and lie wish. ed_the House to decide on its adoption or rdec• lion, purely front the feet' which were betna i itit belote,then. lie protested egainst the infeteitce (;last bad been daown , that to brim % iu n Y3ill . lat• this was to libel the whole country, and to prefer a general Bill of indictment against the People of Logland. He did not call for this tileitSal e against the people ; but, on the contrary, he demanded it fur theM, in order to protect tern in the exer cise of their industry against the Machinations of agitators, which west hostile to their interests, as they were to those of the country at large. The adoption of .such a measure' might alarm those who knew themselves to be guilty of 'treasonable designs ; but, its his . consrience, lie believed the loyal and peaceable port of the community would feel no uneasiness about it, but, on the contrary, would be grateful for the passing of the Bill, which they would regard as a measure of protec tion. He argued, at some length, in opposition to those who were , olopittion, that supposing trea. suitable designs to exist, those by whom they were entertained were too insignifx!ant to merit the seri 'Ous at mention of Parliament. Though happily the disaffection was confined to are lower orders, yet still he contended the danger was formidable. He chewed the lower classes of the manufacturers to be confident in their own strength ; to posses* considerable acuteness, knowledge of the law, and iogennity to 'erotic it. To the mentitacturers he stated these designs to be h great measure re. stricted. They had studied precedents Irons the history of the treasons of former times, and it seas not necessary in his mint; for higher characters to Fake part with them to enable them to sneceed if they were not well watched. They might at any ew e succeed so far as to cover the country %s 1 I) desolation for a tittle. H e w i s h e d the attention of th e H ouse to be directed to two points---the consideration of the events which preceded the 15th of April might first deserve their consiavtli• tins,. Is would then he for them to kok to what bad occurred auhstlyteitt to that period. This di eition of the subject, according to dates, e thought o f some importance. Those who, had formerly opposed tl e IlabeasTorpos Sospensiou might, be thonght now, with the adnitionsl expetience they possessed, feel justified in sup porting time Rill for renewing that Act ; but he could hardly thitsh it po3sible that those who con curred with him on the former occasion could op pose the present Bill, as the case fur its renewal Wes infinitely stronger than that snide out for passing the low now in force. Not only had ad ditiohat ronspiracies beets discovered, but, in the late inqiiiry, the' former conspiracies liatt heels confirmed ; anti now to refuse to re new the Bill would' give a fresh impulse to the traitors is) the enontry, who would de rive iniditional strength end courage from the Alinibers now In cesstody, wholwould then be en aided to join them. and assist in time proseention of their desigus Re (Jellied that the result of the fete trial proved that there was no treason in the country, though Saotl forbid that he should arraignthe d e ci s i on come to, by Person cou l d. the Jury.
