PIRATES.
Mr. MARIYATT presented a Petition from cer-
tain Merchants and Ship-owners iu the City of Lon-
don, complaining of the capture of a British ship
by pirates off the coast of Chili ■od Peru. The
lion. Gentleman then read some extracts of letters
received from Captains of different vessels. In one
iiistsitee a ship had been taken and plundered, and
the Captain and mate were. both hung up. He
could not •void remarking upon the extreme su-
pineness of the British navy, and the activity of the
American navy as compared with ours, in suppress-
iiig these strocities. The American navy not only
defended their own ships, but those of other na-
tions, and he thought the Government of this coun-
try were bound to take some effectual steps to re.
sn•rly so great an evil.
Set G.Coccou an said the Hon. Gentleman must
know that those vessels which had pipets and cre-
dential• to produce could not be dealt with as
pirates who hoisted no flag. The British navy have
clone all that could he expected, and the navy of
Chili end Peru had exerted themselves in the most
extraordinary manner. The British witty bad con-
siderable difficulties to encounter in consequence
of the disagreements of young rising Powers. For
the merchant. of this country and underwriters he
bed great respect, but he must say that they fre-
quently consulted their own interests without re-
gsrding the general benefit of the country.
Lord LONDOIDCRRY said, the Petition which
had been presented this evening was the counter-
part of that which had been presented on a former
ocension. He was sorry to Slid that the merchants
of London had followed the example lib ch was set
them by the merchants of Liverpool. It would be
better for those gentlemen to open the eyes of the
Admiralty. than to be giving their information to
those to whom they were opposed. He lamented
as much as any man the existence of these swarms
of freeboo'ers in those seas, but he doubted very
much the propriety of these discussions in the
House of Common.. They could not expect that
our men of war were to be made rolling Courts of
Admiralty round the world. All the injury these
pirates could do us would be only as a drop of
water in the sea compared with the injury which
seovild follow the adoption of the course which had
t wen recommended. lie had carefully examined
all the cases complained of, and out of the entire
eighteen eases lie only found one complete case
of condemnation. If pirates were met with, thou
they could be netted as such, but it was quite dif-
ferent in the other case. And he would recom-
mend to the Hon. Gentlemen {Mr. Marryatt) and
to all others interested hi the matter, to remove
from their minds the idea that there was any su-
pineness on the part of the naval administretroo of
the country. If they had any complaints, to them
they should be made, for little advantage could be
derived from coming to that House with complatuts
which must only lead to explanations of the diffi-
culties in which we were placed.
Mr. BRIGS? could not agree with the Noble
Lord as to the disadvantage of bringing these
cases before Parliament. He did not acquit the
Admiralty of supineness, or, if he did, he must
suppose them ignorant of the transactions which
were going forward. The Noble Lord had said.
that tf they could meet with pirates, theu they
would know how to deal with them. But he should
be glad to know what was meant by pirates ,t Did
pirates mean a party springing from a vessel, armed
with pistols and other offensive weapons, and
making an attack upon other ships!
Sir G. Comma' said, That if a vessel west
out with the colours of Spain, or other countries,'
then it became a question between these nations.
Mr. BRIGHT said, if that were the case, then
there was no security for any vessel et sea; then
any vessel might be plundered without redress, if
the vessel by whom they were attacked carried no
colours. It a vessel went out from any country,
',rider the pretence and simulation of business, and
afterwards attacked other ►hips, then that coun-
try lies not responsible. If such were the doctrines,
then indeed it was worse than useless to come here to
complain. The proceedings had ell the marks of fe-
teeny and daring which history had sttriblited to the
early Buccaneer.. It was noneenee to suppose that
trade could go on if this were out put an end to. If
the Spanish Government could not secure our vessels
protection, the British Government ought to take
rusting measures to prevent the aggressions of time

enemies of' all mankind. He thought that do-
vernmensought to lose no time in remitting in-
structions to their officers to take immediate steps
for preventing the recurrence of these aggressions,
and to secure the commerce of these countries from
the ravages of the pirates.
Mr. CIOZER thought it a great advantage to
know specifically what the Hon. Gentleman wished
to have done by the Government and the Admi-
ralty. He did not know how it came to pass, but
the wishes of the Hon. G-toleman happened to
coincide very remarkably with some transaction!
which took place in the Admiralty as long ego as
March lust. The Hon. Idember.then proceeded to
read an instruction which laud beets sent oat to Ad.
miral Rowley. on the West India station. wherein
the various outrages of the pirates on British com-
merce were recapitulated, and the remonstrance
made by the British Governmeut to the Court of
Spain, et the instigation of the Lords of the Admi-
ralty, were described. Then followed the answer
of the Spanish Government, which deprecated
the outrages in the strongest language. In the
course of this negotiation, the Secretory of State
fur Foreign Affirms took care to observe that the
establishment of the pirates on the shore of the
Spanish territory. in the Island of Cuba, would
justify the Spanish Government in taking the most
signal vengeance on the marauders covering them-
selves within their coast. It was intimated at the
same time. that the British Government expected
that in awe the Spauish Court felt itself unable to
do justice to the merchants interested. there would
be no objection urged as to the rights of nations
against Great Britain taking on herself to annoy
and disperse that hive of robbers. The instruction
remitted to the Admiral was in the same spirit ; he
was directed to pot a ship or ships of war to cruise
off St. Antonio, and to press upon the pirates as far as
possible without violating the Spanish territory, and
to do all in their power to cut off the communica-
tion of the pirates with the shore. He considered this
as an answer in full to the speech of the Hon. Gentle.
man, which was something like an accusatory tirade
against Government for not doing that which they
had actually done. Ile objected to the notions laid
down by the Hon. Gentleman, as tending quite op-
positely to his avowed intention. to the most direct
effusion of blood. He would have particular in-
structions given to the officers on the stations to
proceed in their own way to put down the aggres-
(-ions of these pirates. There could never be peace
in the world if the officers of Beets were in-
trusted to judge in every case of what were the
rights of flags. The law of nations was deduced
from expediency. and was at ell times sufficiently
difficult of explication, and still moreddificult to en-
force. Pirates were enemies of all essokind.and there
could be uo difficulty in dealing with them if these
aggressions were committed by known and avowed
pirates; but there were none such among them;
they all had the simulation of national character.
They were at war with all the world. it was said,
but then they were all under independent flags, of
which there was now a con►iderable number in
those seas—two of them at war one with another.
How then could the British Government take on
itself to detain and seise vessels belonging to en iu-
dependent State, and possessing a flag which most
be respected, and proceed summarily with them
as with piracy declared and known ? He thought it
would be much better if Members, instead of pro-
voking discussion in the House by seeming attempts
to amuse Ministers, would give the particulars of
any case which fell to their knowledge to Govern-
. went, and leave it to do the best it could with the
power or state chiefly in question. With regard to
the frequency of these cases, it was to be observed,
that as yet there had been only two condemnations
in the Courts of the Colonies of British merchant-
men. against one of which Government had seat
out orders to Admiral Rowley to appeal. He con.
eluded by again entreating Members to give their
information to Government in preference to agitat-
itig debates, which, in result, were only likely to
have the effect of increasing piracy.
Dr. LWHINGTOS was not surprised that the mer-
chants of Luudon and Liverpool should complain
of the danger and loss which they felt, though he
admitted that the evil which caused them to do so
was necessarily and intimately cooected with the
present state of things. It was almost impossible
to protect from such accidents as things stood at
present. There was • war existing between Spain
and her Colonies, while it continued vessels naviga-
ting those seas must be subjected to visitation and
search. That being admitted. the other mischief,
were merely incidental. The march would of neces-
sity, in some iustauces. be carried on vexatiously, un-
law fully, and improperly. Then followed the liability.
as • consequence of that, to condemnation, if the
Trott was found to have violated the laws of war.
Besides which, all vessels going to a port de facie
in • 'tate of blockade, would be detaiurd as matter
of course, sod if acting in contravention of the
' rights of belligerents, condemnation would follow.
These were mischiefs, however, which he hoped
never to ace done away as far se the principle was
concerned. All he wished w•a, that England
would exteod the same right to other nations which
she claimed for herself; it would be of infinite
benefit to her maritime power iu case of any other
wars which might take place. A great difficulty
"time on the present question as to which of the
Chveruments should be held the legal one—Spain
or that of the Colonies. The Noble Manion'
denied the legality of the Colonial Guyon-
sent, bat admitted that the British Govern-
ment corresponded with the agents of it in a
certain necessary degree. From hence they be-
came involved iii an inextricable dilemma, es to
whom belonged the right of conveying the territorial
claim. South America claimed the right to give
territorial claim on one hand, which was disputed
by Spain on the other. Spam held it de jure—
Soisth America de facto. Both of these rights
must be vested in one Power to give a complete
claim to the territory. He was quite certain of the
rectitude of his opinion, having taken some pains
to determine it. Though where • Member had profes-
sional mesas for forming his ) )) ion, and correcting
it, he held it to be in the *cost taste to dole out to
the House the small particles of learning of which
such judgments most be formed. He could not, how-
ever, in the case of St. Doiniugo, wrested from the
arms of the French in 179.5, and yet as a judgment
wherein Sir W. Grant was concerned. they were
compelled to treat it as a hostile power in 1908,
nearly 13 jears after. Undoubtedly ;rest chScul.

tits surrounded the whole queslioo, which Would be
removed in some degree hy that step which he was
most anxious to see taken by the fiavernment, of
acknowledging as soon as po.sible the independence
of the Suuth A merkan States. He lamented the
course which had teen hitherto pursued in regard
to Spain sod her Colonies. By the Treaty entered
into by the Noble Merqui., the British Government
was bound not to give any kind of assistance to the
Colonies in resisting the power of Spain. while a
desire was expressed on behalf of hm Britannic
Majesty that the Colonies might be speedily re-
stored to obedience to the mother country. He
could not but recollect that in 1797, Gene-
ral Picton had urged these very Colonies to re.
volt. promising assistance, amid soliciting them by
every possible kind of inducement. He admitted
that after the pacification entered into, the British
Government was not at liberal, to take soy other
course thus that specified.. Yet consideriog the
high spirit excited in the Colonies by the former in-
stigation of the British Government, and the re-
ceptiou of the independent agents by the British
people, he hoped that the first opportunity would
be seized on to give public recognition to their in-
dependence. With respect to the particular case
in question, of the island of Cuba, if the Govern-
ment remained de facto and de jure with Spain, the
application ought to be mode direct to the mother
country. But if, in fact, the Governor of Cuba
denied the authority of Old Spain, though the
compliment of application would be due to Old
Spain while the power was in question, there
should be no time lost in waiting, but the British
Government would have a right to go directly to
the Governor of Cuba, and assume him to have
received proper instructions from Spain, call upon
him to assent in putting down the pirates sheiteriug
themselves in that territory, and in cm of necessity,
enforce complisoce. As to the dispatch which had
been read to the House, he thought the discussion
would be highly satisfactory to the British mer-
chants from having produced it. He was not in
the habit of praising the Hon. Gentlemen opposite;
but the dispatch seemed to him to be the very best
for the occasion. It was one thing, however, to is-
sue rigorous orders, and another to take care to
have them effected. He hoped the Admi-
ralty would be is careful for the enforce-
ment, as they bad been judicious in the
issuing of that &vetch. The fact was that the
opportunities to the pirates for this Lind of plunder
were endless, nor was it easy to come at them, ex-
cept in the way of prevention. Suppose the Eng-
lish man of war fell in with a Spanish ship—she
could not touch that ; suppose a vessel with an In-
dependent flag—the Noble Marquis said, " You
most not touch that;" suppose the obnoxious ves-
sel bore the British flag—most not she also go free ?
—(Mr. Bernal aid, " No.")—His Hon. Friend
said No; but be maintained that the man of war
could only make her a low boW and bear away. He
admitted that there were difficulties every way.
The only course would be to make a solemn appli-
cation to each of the Governments to exert itself for
the suppression of such outrages. He trusted
that the British Admiral would act up to the
full scope of his orders. He observed that this
was not a new question. It was a difficulty which
had been felt sod discussed for more than a hun-
dred aud twenty years past. It was one which he
was altogether incompetent to remove, and to which
he could suggest no remedy. There was one other
circumstance to which he would allude, because it
had been mentioned—lie meant the necessity of
protecting commerce generally. It cettainly seem-
ed at first view hard to say why the British convoy
should not extend protection to fureign ships trad-
ing in the same track. But here again were other
difficulties. It was not customary fur British con-
voys to allow the exercise of visitation and search in
the ships under their protection ; and there were
the strongest objections to Great Btitsin entrench-
ing in the slightest degree on so valuable a princi.
ple of her maritime rights. He hoped that the sub-
ject would engross the attention of Government
during the winter, because it was of the greatest im-
portance to trade generally. It was not the loss and
the danger only felt from the particular casts, but
they brought an increase of insurances, and the
wages of navigators, all of which rose in proportion
to the danger of the voyage, and by that means
brought • serious iojury to commerce.
Mr. Omuta explained, and read the dispatch
sent to Admiral Rowley on the 18th June last, to
notify the strot g disapprobation expressed in the
answer from Spain of the detestable series of vio-
lence 'complained of in the note of the Noble
Foreign Secretary.
Dr. PIIILLIMOIR explained the difficulty of
dealing directly with the marauders as pirates,
while they claimed and were allowed by us the
rights of belligerents.
Dr. LUSHINGTON explained.
Mr. Foetus, in reply to the remark of the Hon.
Geutlemau (Mr. Croke?), maintained the right of
every Member to bring forward any complaint of
a public grievance iu Parliament.
Mr. MARRY ATT said, that all the speeches yet
made had gone on the supposition that this was •
Petition of the underwriters. It was no such thing
—it was the Petition of the merchants. The un-
derwriters never yet complained to Parliament.
The reason was uhvious—they held the memos of
security in their owu hands ; they could protect
themselves by raising the premiums ; they had
done we in this case. A valuable vessel had teceet-
ly left this port to proceed to Valparaiso. Tile
ordinary insurance was two trainees; they were
obliged to raise it to four. The vessel touched at
Gibraltar to finish her cargo, aud before she left that
port, the news which arrived from South America
compelled them to ranee the price to eight guineiiii
OA the rest of the voyage. The sea ri.k of • veia.el
sailing between nava 1111 l ih mid Jamaica was out
more than los. while the preseiit iosursoce was
raised to ten guineas. It was natural fur those who
had to suffer the payment of three iusurances to
complain.

Sir G. Commas explained.
The Petition was ordered to be • ted.
Kr. WETHERELL rose to give t►o.ue of a motion
►especting the form of proceeding on amendments
made to Bills, mid seat down from the Lord.. It
happened lately with a Bill to amend the Marriage
Act, that it came down quite iu another form trout
that in which it was sent up ; and yet such were
the ♦ules of proceeding in the tiouse, that there
could be uo deliberation by Committee upon the

amendments, thnngh they entirely altered the Yon`
stitution of the Bill.
Mr. CAUCNAFT spoke to order.
Mr. WETHERELL was proceeding to justify the
course he ores taking.
The SPIASER pointed out the inconvenience of
this course, seeing that if the Hon. and Learned
Member persisted in submitting the reasons for
giving his notice, it must be competent for any
other Member to offer reasons to thew that there
could be necessity for the notice.
Mr. WiTmeRELL then gave notice of a motion
to make it competent for any Member of the Kruse
to move for a Committee on amendments made to
Bills lent down from the House of Lords.
The Marquis of LONDONosaav intimated that
the motion should be to repeal the standing order.
Mr. Hume wished to obtain two or three returns
witb a view to spreading the information contained
in them during the vacation, that they might he
more fully discussed on their next meeting. The
first papers he would move for were returns of all
persons now held in confinement in the British
Provinces in India, excepting those committed for
trial to military or judicial Courts ; @hewing the
names and qualities of the parties imprisoned, the
dates of their caption, the authority under which
they were taken, the places of their arrest and
imprisonment, sod the offences alleged. Or-
dered.—The next papers for whit* Ise would
move related to the capture of some piratical
Arabs, who had committed depredations in the
Persian Gulf. The village in which they
sheltered had been taken, and the whole party
brought down ; some were let loose into the desert,
others were delivered to the Emaum of Muscat,
among whom all the boys from five to 14 years of
age were detained—for what reason he could not
guess. The remainder were conveyed to Bombay,
where they were still in confinement, as he under-
stood. He moved for returns of all the Arabs
taken prisoners at Beni 800 Ali, distinguishing the
number mid description of those delivered by Gene-
ral Smith to the Emaum of Muscat from those
conveyed to Bombay or otherwise disposed of.
Mr.C. WYNN defended the Indian Government
from any charge which might be implied in the mo-
tion of the Hon. Gentlemen.
Mr. G. BUNNY? wanted to know what could he
thermion for General Smith delivering all the boys
between fire and fourteen years of age to the
Emaum of Beni 800 Ali, and leriug the women
loose into the desert, while their male relations were
conveyed prisoners to Bombay ?
Mr. MOM offered to produce documents from
General Malcolm to thew that the Arabs at Bom-
bay had expressed high satisfaction at the treat.
went they received.

Mr. HUMS denied that he had given any opinion,
•r made any statement hostile to any individual, or
entered at all into discussion on the subject ; he
had confined himself entirely to the mention of facts
as a foundation for his motion. If the Right Hon.
Gentleman had any objection to the production of
the papers be should not press for them this Session.
Mr. C. W. WYNN said it was impossible that
such a return could be made without a communi-
cation from India. He should ingest therefore to
the Hon. Member that it would be better to give
time for the procuring of such informatiou a►
could be got upon the subject, which he would
pledge himself to take every possible means to
procure, and for that purpose to postpone I►is motion
to the next Session.

Mr. Hums withdrew his motion.
CANADA.

Mr. WILMOT obtained leave to bring in a Bill to
unite the Legislatures of the provinces of Upper
and Lower Canada ; which was then brought in,
and read a first time, and ordered to be read a
second time to•morrow.

Colonel WOOD postponed the motion of which
he had given notice, of certain Resolutions relating
to the Poor Laws, and stated it to be his intention
to bring them forward at an early period of next
Session.

The Stamp Duties (Ireland) Bill was reported.
and the amendments agreed to. and the Bill or.
dered to be read a third time to-morrow.

The Report of the Barill* Duties Bill was
brought up and agreed to, •nd the Bill ordered to
be read a third time tomorrow.

The English Militia Pay Bill was read the third
time and passed.

The Report of the Deed• Registry Bill was
brought up and agreed to, and the Bill ordered to
be read the third time to-morrow.
SESSIONAL ADDRESSES.

The House then resolvisd itself into a Committee
on the usual Sessional Addresses. which were *greed
to. and on the House resuming. ordered to be re-
ported to-morrow.

lion.

Lord PALMBRITON said, the same imputation
had been cast by the Hon. Member (.tlr. Hume) in
the Committee which he now our:opted to reeler.
and had on that occasion been repelled, eves, by
those Members who usually sat on the smite stile.
Mr. Hues fitlialeaded that the thciting of the
truth had been prevented by a Resolution pas.ril
in the Committee—" That oo docuweiii as pspee
produced before the Committee should he /OW%
or submitted to any person who was not a M. ISO het'
of the Committee." There were many topic. of
inquiry suggested by such documents. which coal.
only be satisfactorily got at by showing the docu-
ments to the parties who were acquainted with the
matters contained in them. and applying to them
for explanation. That he had been in the habit of
doing without any objection being made, iu ewers,
inquiry of which he had been on the Committee;
and he had thereby been able to point to evidence
to be brought forward whtch could not otherwise
have been gut at. He had dune the seine to thee
Committee until the passing of the Resolution
which be had mentioned, though he ceased to do
so afterwards, because he conceived himself bound
to abide by the Resolutioo of die Committee. He
was not, however, aware of any rule of the House
on which that Resolution could hate been founded;
he was not aware that any rule of the House pre-
vented the use of papers laid before • Committee
is the way which he bad mentioued.
Mr. C. W. WTNIN doubted not rutrely the right
of a Member to take the docuturots out of the
Committee-room, bet whether the Committee even
had the power to let any Member take them out of
the room. It was certainly desirable that all pos-
sible information should be had upon the subject of
the documents, but that was not to be done by
private commuuicatioa between a single Member of
the Committee and any other private Individual,
but by calling such individual before the Cow.
mittee, and examining him there oil the subject.
The &FEMUR said, that it was quite clear that
by the rule of the House uo documents or papers
produced before sCommittee ought to be shewn to
any person out of that Committee: oat even to
any Member of the House who was not also •
Member of the Committee. That was a restriction
constantly applied to evidence of every kind taker
io a Committee, on the application for the coast-
nience of the Committee to have the evidence
printed, by coupling with it the words ,t for the use
of the said Committee."

Mr. LUSIIINCITON said, the Hon. Member for
Shrewsbury was misinformed respecting the cosi-
struction of the Committee; and in order to sus-
tain that assertion, he proceeded to read over the
list of the names of the Members of the Commit-
tee. nioe of whom were admitted to be Members
usually sitting on the Opposition aide of the House.
As the Hon. Geodesist° repeated the names, Mr.
Hume, from the other side of the Hoare, followed
the first three or four with the observation, " Never
attended ;" to which Mr. Lushington answered,
" That was their fault." and contended that it
was impossible (the other Members being, as far as
we could collect, equally taken from the Mims-
terial and neutral benches) that a mote impartial
selection of a Committee could hove been made:
♦fter a few words front Mr. Moues', which
were inaudible in the gallery, the Report was or.
tiered to be printed.
The other Orders of the Day befog then dia.

PARIS PAPERS.
PARIS, JULT R.
News which reached us to-day from the Spanish
bootier announce that Msdnd is iu the power oldie
Royalists, sod that the King is rescued from the
hands of the Jacobins.

A private letter states that General Morillo put
himself at the head of the Royalist party. and com-
pletely defeated that of the Liberals. Every where
the emblems called Conatitutionil are destroyed,
sod nothing is heard but the cry of Fiera el Key
sac"

What gives great consistency to this news is. the
reser►e with which the liberal papers announce that
a courier, cooing from the south, arrived yesterday
at 10 o'clock in the morning, at the house of the
Minister for Foreigq Affairs.
The question was agitated some days before, to
inow whether the King could be forced to quit hie
