not believe tile attack on tl:e Prince Ilezent, coos al I'M:IOUS aA it %vas, to have been the result of anl se►litious design. tllucl► incorrect information I been sent tip cot►cerning what I►ail occurred in county with which he was connected, and he ap prehended the same thing might have happened with respect to other places. He thought it hard that the county he had the honour to represent (Derby) should have been so particularly men• tioned in the Report of the Committee. In this he considered the Committee to have been rathl-r precipitate, as that county had been distinguished by the good order which generally prevailed in it, in consequence of their having had the good for tune to have a Magistrate able and willing to per form his duty. He %posed tie Bill. Mr. BANKRS and Mr. TIERNEY rose at the same moment. There was a loud cry for Mr. Tierney to speak ; but Mr. Wilkes having first caught the Speaker's eye, had, of course, the precedence. BANKES thtn proceeded ; but the shouts of spiestion and the coughing was so loud and inces sant, that we could scarcely catch a word that fell front him. We underAnod him, however, to say, that if the situation of the country was such, that the country could not be tranquillized without this measure, it oughttp be passed. Prevention being better than punishment, it would be wise and humane to check the disatrected in their ca reer; before they reached those excesses which svould endanger others' lives and their own. After Mr. BANK spea l b there was it pause of some minutes, hut nobody rising, the cry of QUeSiioll became cry vehement, und strangers were ordered to withdraw. The 11 on se then di vided on the 3d rending ; when the numbers were— Ayes '265 Noes Majority White we were absent, we understood that three clauses ‘vcre moved, and negatived in succession! : one, by Sir F. Burdett, that prisoners should he allowed to see their wives or children, on applica ti,m to the home depaanwnt, and that care should be taken not to confine them iii damp or un wholesome dungeons' ; the - second, by Mr. W. Smith, was to enable persons who had been wrongfully imprisoned to bring their action with in a month after their discharge ; the third, by ,Mr. Ponsonby, hich was negatived atter a divi sion, was, that the act should expire on the 20th of May, instead of the Ist of July. The numbers on this► division ere— . Against the Motion Fur it Najurity When strangers svere re-admitted the House was in debate on the Clunse in the Bill, which au thorizes the removal of prisoners front one Gaol 1 to another, and the exmmeitie of which, it appear ed, had been moved. The Sot.tcyron-GeNenst, defended the clause. lie Contended, that it was necessary that the power of removal should be given, as cases might occur in which, front the number of the prisoners, or front their combining together, it would be very ioconvenicot to retain them together in one geol. In such cases it might be proper to remove Prisoners front Gloucester to Hereford, or vice I:ova ; but care wai taken that they should stitivr no disadvantage by these removals ; 'tor, if brought to trial, it was provided that the proceedings should take place in the County in which they were orkinally committed. Mr. PoNsoXBY could tint understand why a man taken up for treasonable practices in the county of Hereford should be imprisoned in Gloucester. AVere not the gaols in the county sufficient, or were they destitute of keepers It there were tro gaols in a particular county, or no persons to guard them, he could comprehend why a prisoner should be sent to another county ; but todess some such reason as Ow he hail stated•existed, the removal was a measure of unnecessary cruelty. Mr. Bew NETT stated, that cases of great hardship hail occurred (older the former suspensions of the Ilith as Corpus Act, in consequence of imprison hug persons in distant gaols. I.llc. B. BATHURST supported the clause, which AS as ordered to stand part of the Bill. 11 On the question that the Bill do pass, Mr. Brtotionsm rose, and stated, that from what alight lion. Gentleman opposite had said, be supposed it was to be understood, that unless the notice of a motion for the renewal of the Bill were given in the month of May, it would be al lowed to expire on the Ist of July. If one week more hail been given, the petitions against the Bill would have been most numerous. Mr. CANNING übSCI'VLid, that the period of the Bill teas limited, but that circumstances might occur which would render its renewal necessary. Mr. B 1.3 A-rut:lor had' not said any thing in the course of the debate about the month of May. Ile hail given no such pledge. All that he had said was, that as the Bill was to expire in July, the tioestion of its renewal would require some consi deration; mad, of course, that notice of the inten tion of Ministers in that respect would probably be given stone (inn: before the date to which the duration of the Bill was limited. Lord STASILKV said, lie had paid particularat tention to what fell front the Honourable Gentle man, and he was confident he had used the words " many weeks." Mr. BATituast was not conscious that he bad said many weeks ; he could not answer for what his Right Houourable Friends might, under fu ture cirCillnlitailCES, determine, but such a ques tion would, doubtless, require a notice e' a few weeks. Mr. Beouousst wished the Hon. Gentleman to recollect, that the House had gone to a division on his iluClaratinn. 'MI'. CALVERT stated, that the hurry in passing the Bill afforded no tittle for the presenting of pe titions against it. Sir C.

LONDON, SATURDAY, 411,1RC11 1, 1817. Letters have been received from Canton by an American ship, arrived at Gibraltar, which state that the Embassy to China, under Lord AMHERST, disembarked, all well, at Tien-sing, in the Gulph of Pe•tclie-lec, on the 2Gth of July, after a re markable quick passage up the Yellow Sea. in September they were still in Pain, but no ac counts had been received of the progress made h the negociations entrulted to the Ambassador but letters, brought by the General• Ifewit iron Tien-sing to Canton, antic:mite a favourable re. stilt to the Embassy. In the !louse of Commons last night, after tome Debate, in which, however, none of the leading men of either side p►+rticipated, the H►beas Corpus Suspension Act was read a third ime and passed—the numbers were, 265 for, and 103 against the Bill. Another division took place on a Motion of Mr. PoNsoNßY's, to limit the period of the Bill being in - force s the 20th of May Instead of the Ist of July ; but this was negatived by 239 to 97. Thus has this important measure been carried through two branches of the Legislature. This day by the sanction of the third branch, it will be come the law of the land A Petition of the Common Hall of London, as still be seen by our Parliamentary report of the proceedings on its presentation, was yesterday agreed to, against the Suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act. As there was nothing either of no velty or wright in the Speechifications on this Occasion, we may well be spared the disgust. ing task of inserting Mr. FAVIML (the Mover's) slops, or the ribaldry of the Seconder Itout:tt•r WAITHMAN, Esquire. The latter very justly cons pared himself to Falstaff (though he has tint a I►refix of Sir), and, in the true tone of that brag. Bard Poltroon, exclaimed " I can't last for ever ! Would to God my name were not so formidable to he enemy." Poor man ! he reminds us of the fly Ton the chariot %Owe!, or rather of the unsavoury substance which, rolling down the stream in com pany with some fruit, shouted " Look ! Lord bless us how we apples swim." Then came Master lIITCUINS and Alasterll u NT,both wen of the highest nportancc in the country—if you would only erect' their own accounts of themselves ; and last of all came that Mirror of Magistrates, the Mighty Lean MAYon. According to him he was theivery peg upon which the good or ill of the Nation hung.. Ilis information had filled the Green Bag, but had his voice bee❑ - heard, be would certainly h►ave persuaded the Committee not to believe the docu- ents he had sent them. Clad he but been (hinc iltz l(tchryince) a Member of Parliament, he would venture to say that the. Report would have been quite another thing. From panegyrizing his wisd om and his eloquence, the admirable Loan MAYOR very naturally fell into a high encomium on his valour. Single-hafuled he could quell mobs, stand fire, clear Sweetings Alley, and take legions of Prisoners.

Twenty Riots, quell 'em 3—twenty more, quell them ; twenty more, quell them too !--Thus the Loan MAyou by his single arm, and an instinct he has, would preserve the public tranquillity, and render the Suspension' of the Habeas Corpus Act unneces sary ! ! But Goverumants are ever the same. Captain 110BADIL and his project were despised-_ the LORD MAYOR and his plan are neglected ! ! The PRINCS REGENT, we rejoice to state, is perfectly restored to health. The attack was of the same nature with that from which his ROyal Highness recently suffered so much, but medical aid being promptly admiuistered on the appear. ance of the first symptoms, the disorder was speedily subdued without assuming a--serious form. We notice the subject thus paiticularly, not only from the interest attaching to every cit.- enmstance Which a (Teets the PRINCE, but from ►lie appearance of several paragraphs in a Morn ing Paper, subsequent to our originally mention ing his Royal Highness's indisposition.

DEAL, Fan. 23.—Came down from the River and remains, the Marquis Wellington, for Madras and Bengal. Yesterday Her MAJESTY, the Princess' ELIZA BETH, and the Duchess i ofth,oncpsita, visited the PRINCE REGENT at Carlton-house. The QUEEN had a select party last evening at her Palace. Yesterday the Duchess of CUMBRRLAND rode out for the first time since her confinement, in Hyde-park. The Glasgow Papers received yesterday furnish us with some further accounts of the late arrests in that city. Twenty-six persons were taken tip on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday : two men were apprehended on Tuesday forenoon in Audersto». On their way to gaol a rescue was attempted, and the soldiers whom it had been necessary to call in, a party of the 42d, were obliged to tire; but no persons were killed. °Three of the persons at tempting a rescue were apprehended. It was very currently reported yesterday that Younn , IVatswi had been apprehended in London we believe that some search was made, but -with out effect. The LORD MAYOR has communicated to his friends in the City, that at this period of general distress he thinks it expedient to wave the usual dinner at the Mansion-House on Easter Monday. The money thus saved (about a thousand pounds) his Lordship has resolved to give to such charities in the City as may be considered most to stand in need of assistance. Mrs. C. Ketattie appeared at the Norwich Theatre on Thursday, and her performant:es arc spoken of in terms of the highest admiration by the Critics of that City.
