PARLIAMENT. HOUSE, Dr LORDS, TUESDAY, JUNE 10; The Colonies Murder Punishment, and the Poor Removal Bills-, were brought up from the - House 'of 'Common's by Mr. Brogdeti, Sir James (holism, and other Memliers,,and read a first time. Sir Edward Oven's Divorce Bill was returned_ from the Coiptuoris agreed to, with an amend- went. The Salt Bill passed through a Committee, and was" reported without amendment. The Earl of LAUDERDALE 'roved the second reading of a Bill for extending to the, Collieries the provisions of - the Act of Parliament under .which workmen are relieved from the necessity of receiving a part of their wages in goods. The Bill 'wets read a second time and committed for Monday. POOR EMPLOYME N T The Earl of Ltveepoot. rose to move the third reading of this Bill. Iu the course of his prefa tory observations, his Lordship observed, that no one could appreciate snore than himself the im portance of the objection, in point of principle, which was urged against this measure ; namely, of • legislatiee interference,in matters of the kind, which the Bill wrtit to effect ; nor of the superior genes illy speakieg, of sefferiiig systems of great and important public works to he under teken sndconducted by individuals , or asso ciations of individualeorti their own capital. Anct be ad mitted, tht thOse great works which diti the most erslir,' or operated the most advantage to the country, had been so undertaken anti perfected. At the same time, he thought this was a principle to which there Wet C some exceptions, nod of which the eiremosteeces nut of which the Bill grew formed a strik nes instance. Neither etas the present rase without example. The cosety.it 1793 tool 1 101 shituditotlysheweci the heoeficial residt of an assist once. Of the hind being a ffrirded by Government, and t /it precedents were fairly to be eddiiecin favour of the ir eseof Jt was not his intention now discuss the Causes which ied to (14 present si ttritieit Of the country ; but it was well known that irfalifferent parts of the Kingdons'alaere welt impiirtaer public, works at a stand for want of pe- entliar y assistance, i nn ! for which* Security tandif be_giveu. To ifford this relief was the tu , sre important object of the Bill, which accord acoluirivedam issue of Exchequer Bills to a amount. With respect to the ether pro posed capiet of the Bill*, that of affordiug relief. with reference to certain eases upon the Poor's Bates, he was tree to say, lie did not expect those extensive advantages which ht felt no doubt would result front the other leading provision of the 8.11, chattel' certainly there may be sonic:peculiar cases in which great relief may be afforded by the measure. Glancing generally at the leading causes which induced the present distresses, the Noble Earl . considered the principle to be the circumstance, that during many years of a state of warfare,. all p arts of the world were thrown open to the trade end commerce of this country. This had certainly led toss practiee of over-speculating beyond what ever before existed; anti the coieiequence was, that all the forleigo markets were glutted with the product and manufacteres of this country. With the inevitable eouseqnences pt smith a state of thing's, the tinprodnctiveness of the late season, unfortunately, conibiued : and these be certainly regioded, but'perticulatly the former, as the great leediurg causes of the present deteriorated state of the comory. After a few further observations upon this pert of the subject, the Noble Earl said lee ventured; upon "the general grounds be had stated, to offer the Bill for their Lordships' adop tion, amid be accordingly moved that the Bill be reo , l a third time. 'e Earl of I s suogenat.E observed, lie certain ly hail no iiitention at present of detaining their Lordships, by going any way at large into the merits of the Bill, or of the subject out of which it grew Ile did not agree with the Noble Earl, that the present case formed an exception to the operation of that wise Rod salutary principle to which he had referred. The distressed state of the lag part of the conunttnity was long known ; and lie lamented that no MeaStue had been brought forward at an earlier period of the Session, when the subjectnight tiaveheen thoronghlyinvestigat cai:: but nose Ministers came forward with a propos sit ion for letiding a million and a half in Exchequer Bills to perishes, Which Oct . /liked at about 2.6, and proposed to lend et the rate of 5 per cent. lie diet. not thinkat measure socideulateli, or so fram woidd tend to relieve the sidlermg part of the community, and to such a miscarriage the opitnOn which the public must, conceive of , the meaenre could not a 'little Contribute. The Noble Earl silso entertained the opinion - that the Bill was not likely or afford mush relief in the parochial way ; arat part therefore, he (Lord ) thought may be left ought. I-le differed front him as to the C 311:; S nt Ibe present Sitoation of the er,alitry—that Which he conceived teally to in duce the existing calamities. Ile conceived it to arise from coorse of twenty years' expeatclititre, nu - a mach huger scale than. was ever berme knonte, - and which gave att 7 artificial extension to the demand for labour, end ;Own this artificial extension ceased, the comes naences so much to be deplored naturally ensued, Ile differed also from the Noble Earl who pro posed the Measure is tosseetain other parts of his ergoment. And as to effeeteel tneasttres of relief, he knew but one 'mode of relieving a country where .poptil at km was greater that) the • demand for its hibour, bust th at was one which lie did not l i ke to descant On in his place in Parliament . The Bill' was read a third time and pitesed, and a Message ordered to esittaint the Commons there. , . with,--Miourned till to,morpow.

We received this morning Boston Papers to the 16th ►►it. which state the .arrival there of a Minister from the new Government of rernant- but° : [p rom /Le rhstem dft., rasa. of the ISM of Maw.] Captain thirst!, of the brig Gipseif, left Per nambuco 39 days since, and states, that at that time the new Government were in quiet possession of the fortresses, and every - necessary exertion was making to put the plaCe in a .state of defence. A rumour 'prevailed that two vessels, of war were on their way to Pernambuco from St. Salvador (Bahia), for the purpose of blockading the port, in consequenceof which Captain lixsais hastened away as early as practicable.

The Boston Adrertiser of the 14th says, that COBEHTT was about TO . OOI3IIIIeIICC his publications at New-York. We understand that some— disturbiewees,have taken place in Derbyshire, in the neighbourhood of Whinfield, which, we have reason to believe, we soon suppressed, by fli4 active exertions of the Yeomanry Cavalry. The timely, and we trust effectual assistance of this constitutional body of men fully demoosurates the wisdom and expediency of the Motions made bit night by Mr. ADDING- Tod in the House of Commons, Mr. AnntnoThri brought in a Bill yesterilay hit° the house of Commons, containing the fol lowing Cl a uses " To allow 'Magistrates Rrul Constableslo trent Ilillets ti, Yeomanry •Cavalry, when called ont of any Civil Autl,orities to suppress or prevent Riots% " To allow lloil ! pay Officers to until Commii sions in Yeomanry Corps, without forfeLing their half-pay.

The present LORD MAvon. our Readers Frill iind, - ,Was yesterday raised to the high honour of being one of the Representatives 'in Parliament for the capital City of the Civilized World. For our part ,being firmly at taebed,but by no means servaely devoted, to the 'present Administration, we have no scruple in declaring that, in onr opinion, so far as theconduct of the LORD • Alciron, as Chief Magi:. trate of the City, is concerned, we conceieethitt he is well entitled to this tliark of approbation from bis fellow-citlzens. lie seems, to have kept his poli tical opinions, whatever they may be, entirely se parated from his conduct as the Conservator of public pence and stencil y, Within the limits of his power. . lie has zealously seconded Governmeot in the endeavour to bring to jus tice all disturbers of public tranquillity, and has resolutely exposed himself to danger in older. to restore that tranquillity. lie has belides been active in promoting all institutions of a benevolent natutt, amid appears 'to have the seeds of a cha acter which ought to be removed from the hot-bed Democracy. %lie therefore. hOpe, that whatever his former political opinions may have been; a due sense of the important station to wh;ch he has been elevated, as one of the Legislators of the British' Empireovill induce him to stand aloof from all unworthy connexions, and to act in sods man• ncr as may justify the choice of his, Zeus, support the dignity of Parliament, and excite the approbation 'of all classes of the' CoMmunity. And here . we may properly suggest a hint to his :Lordship which may tend to open his mind _entirely as to the designs of the lower otder4 of people, and convince him how deu terons it is for 'hint to give his countenance in any manner to those who are panthers to the bad pas ions and ignorant views of the moltitude. We find every day, that .as the persons who are ac cused of high treason are sent to trial, they arc cheered by the mob as they pass. Now, as it is impossible.. that these mobs,, or the Public in general, can knox whether the. prisoners are gnilty or innocent, his Lordship lies a fair: , op portunity of judging how far it is safe or cre (litable to court the vulgar, tor it 13 evident that the Rabble who thus bestow their seditious applause, would have no scruple to commit any outrage in order to liberate those who, for . aught they know, may have been guilty of the most atrocious designs to overthrow the Government, and bring all the horrors of anarchy upon this ha►ppys nation. The new Gold Coinage,: consisting of Double SoVereigns, Sovereigns, and Half Sovereigns, is rapidly working off at the Mint. A part of them will be issued in the course of the present week to the Bank of England, where-it is supposed they will form part of the approaching payments of dividends. The Coin is beautifully executed, the Sovereign and Double Sovereign have the George on the.Keverse, and tlia:Half Sovereigns (there not being - room on :the reverse for the George) the Royal Arms; The style of the _exe cution of these pieces, and the rapidity with' which they have been Worked' off, reflect the highest credit on the taste of Mr. WiLLESLEY • his assiduous attention to the duties of his Office. it has been judged necessary, so far as relates to matters of State, to suspend the liberty of the per,on . Since every honest man still walks about, wide his accustom d case and security, we are not to infer that either freedom itself, or the right thereto, are either surrendered or endangered ; but merely that the designer of any mischief against the State shall be preveuted from its exe tution. Yet, as tire mischief may be designed and ac complished by other than personal means 1 and as prevention seems the leading motive of the new 'Kw, while punishment was the consequence of the old j—we conceive th.it prevention may be applied to other than personal cases. Whatever species of Liberty is made the engine of disturb.: ante, may lawfully-4n the season.of danger—be slopended in its exercise. Ulm .y is valuable, nut for its own sake, but for the good which it produces. Tl,at good is security and tranquillity. But, if we preserve it at their hazard, or to their injury, we commit the moral and political absurdity of preferring the means to the end; or rather, of sacrificing the eatl to the means. We have seen that the highest species of indi vidital liberty nriq be postponed to the general welfare. Another then—and a less—specks may he suspended for the same purpose. If the tem porary Law directs that a man designing to do mischief 'filiall , be hindered fro,t its completion, Al may not a man, writing en incentive to the t"cilief, be hindered from its dissen;ination It is pot 40 severe, that the libeiry at the hattas hc restritioctl, as the liberty of the legs: 11 in the latter cast, the single prevention occasions the general confinement ;--in the other, it i:ru• duets only the partial restsiction. And, as the prevention of imprisonment is better than the punishment of treason, so It is that a svotk should be hindered.from publications 1. than the author be punished for a libel. The public good is also scented : as the incentites t discontent end tumult will be thereby suppressed in their birth, instead of being pettnitted tole. valve thousands in their dangerous mends!. This principle is not nest to Oka LaW• V' better the Stag::, nothing can be published Witho l° the previous voininati on and approval of the PIID CLlAmnEsee-AIN. I t is not, therefore, so uncoasti j.
