/MIEN RILL.
On the third reeding d the Aline WI being moved.
Lad Odalt: observed, that he could not grow the Dill to pus in
its preeebt feria, without oQerige his opposition to it ; because, as
it re& present stood, the salient or the inner highly protected
Alma, might be sent to their degraded country to glut the ra4e
their perddious enrsidee. He thought that the clause which
atrortled 3rtnisters the opportunity of sending aliens to any place
they might.think proper, could not be acted upon without the
greatest injustice, in many instances, to unfortunate foreigners.
Although he approved of the principle of the Rill, he could never
concur in it, so long as that clause remained in its present shape,
tor it encouraged the &Wpm; of the Continent to demand any of
their subjects that had tied far refuge to this country, to be given
up to their tyranny.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, that no British Ambassador I
would bitten to such • demand ; and that with regard to the
RrOisti Ministry, they would sooner engage in a war than agree
to it.

Lord ELLENIIORiII'OH asked why such a power should
exist in the 11111. as enabled a liritiah Ministry to send an alien to
a country where certain punishment availed him ? Ile thought an
amendment of the dame In question quite necessary.
Lord GAGE said, that he bad proposed amendments on two
former °cessions. the object of which was to give aliens an oppor-
tunity of going where they chose, upon paying their own expenses,
but they had ham rejected.
Lord i'LllelrEN was aware how great the advantage would be
an having all amendment to the effect hinted at by the Noble laird
near him. although he agreed with what the Noble Earl opposite
had said on a former occasion, that no great mischief could arise
from the clause in hang as the free preen of the country existed.
As that press, which called Kirtli all the best feelings and energies
er bunion nature, awl which he acknowledged was as important to
the body politic, a. the :air breathed through the nostrils was to the
n.toral body, would prevent an abuse of the clause, the idea of
drhvering up as alien to an autocrat of Russia, or to any other ab-
solute uionorela, made his blood boil with indignation. The press,
that embodied public opinion, rendered it unpossible that that
should ever he the case; still it lINIS right to have such a clause as
had been suggested.
Lord WIELAND suggested the propriety of adopting an
amendment similar to the one that had been prormed, which might
have this advantage, in addition to tribute, fur it might prevent a
ruse of war. as it might shut the dour against an unjustifiable
demand Laing made.
The Earl of Ell' ERTIX/1, said, that any power disposed to
take such a step must have great love of war, and might find
another and a better cause of quarrel than any that would arise
through a demand fiir one of its own subjects to be given up to
silent lie thought Ministers might be cutrunted by Noble lairds
opposite with this poser.
lard N tit IRO tfi II would never consent to confide, even
to the Noble Earl opposite, the arbitrary power that this clause
gave.
Lord IfOLLAND said, that on an occasion of this kind he
would neither trust this Noble Lord, nor that Lord, with the
power the clause afforded. Ile would not trust that poser to be
crested in snyhnsn. Ile allowed, with the Noble Earl opposite, that
r. WWI difficult to frame the clause now under their lordships. con-
sideration ; hut he begged of the House to see the hearing of it as
it at present stood, for it enacted that it should be in the power
IX the Executive to semi aliens where it liked ; and therelore they
were liable to he sent to those toiletries where systems prevailed,
that by courtesy, or almost by raillery, were called laws. In eun-

hands of individuals, be would oppose it.
laird liAtiE then moved that the Hall be retommitted, for the
purpose of inserting a efause which should prevent the Executive
from sending aliens lifterever it chow. end which wonld prevent
unfortunate foreigners from Icing placed in a situation that reminded
bun of the old story of the debug, whore creditor was not cantented
till he had been paid the last penny.
The Earl of Mitt:SINN moved that the debate be adjourned
during pleasure.--Agreed!?........
