the moment when he had incurred thee displeasure
"of the Magistracy, his conduct its his office hied
'lntifornsly been obedieut to his superiors, affec-
tionate to his equal., and entitled to the gratitude
of the uufortuuste prisonersintrusted to his care.
Wheit the Noble Lord thought proper, in his view
of the case, to charge the Judge with partiality, he
ought to have reflected a little out his own situation,
and thought, whether he himself might nut hose had
sou undue hies against the Realer f his :previous
`tliseussious with the Magistrates. Of the charge
of the Learned Judge on the trial, alt he would
sly war this, that if he could presume to give •
prink opinion out the law therein laid demo, it
would be, that it was not put strong enough as
against the Noble Lord's propoeitiosi.—(/leer,
lieur.)—The question was, whether Magstrates lead
under the 3 let of the King, a right to cutter gaols
fOr the purpose of visiting prisoners Ileitsineul there
011 charges or treason. The common gaols were,
both by the statute and common law, the gaols of
the King for the benefit of the State. In the reign
of Edward 111. and Henry VII. statutes hid been
passed on this subject, its which the prison* were
set forth es " the King's pole." and where the
Sheriffs were appointed as responsible to the King
for the safe custody of his prisoners. It would be
strange than if the Magistrates could. by pew, step
tool interfere with this responsibility—see what
the consequence of such interference might be.
Times lead heel' when great differences of °pluton
were held among the higher classet on political
topics, on disputed successions, and other weighty
points.. Suppose, on such ace occasion, that • Magi-
strate were to demand this right from the Sheriff,
and exercise it fur any purpose he might think
lit, would this ant beat dawn all the guards
provided by the Crown for " the safe and close
vissiody" of the priqmer ?—( /fear, hear, hear

Lord FOI.KSTONE—" True; but all the war-
routs were dated sops the same day, and draws, op
to the some hand-writing."
The Airoitsk.lt-GENLILAt. observed, unit that
mattered 110iiiilig to the tog iiiii rid, fur the distinc-
tion was reerviii.ed, be the dale of the win-Loos on
one or many days. The ovule in which the Crws;
could exercise ate potter fur the &trillion of per-
sons antler charges of treason, ea* clearly made out
in the statutes which regulated the form of tii.il of
such persons. Before the Act of %I'tlliatu, ua pei
son (not even their Counsel) could gain adini.tasice
to these persons, except by ass order from the Se-
cretary of State or the Sheriff; but by that Act it
was oidered that Colonel should have all rrasoip-
nide access to them, for the purpose of receiving
instructions for their defence, lint aunt a word wits
said as to this privilege for Nlagistrates; and if the
Act of the 3 tst of the King conferred this right, it
ought not to be suffered to remain, for it went in
the very teeth of the old law, which gave the l
tea power of detaining in safe and close custody par-
ticul,ir stste prisoners. The Noble Lord's Bill, so fir
hour brill intended to remove pianists, was,
tact, to create them, and impair the 'prerogative of
the Crown. It was to throw open the prisons,
where persons fur offences agaiust the State were
confined, and at otter to destroy the prerogative of
the Crown and the responsibility of the Sheriff on
the subject of their safe and close custody. There
was un doubt that for the worn,' regulation of the
pinion, for whitewashing it, and keeping it in due
repair. the Magistrates lied a right of admission,
but certainly not to the extent and for the purpose
claimed by the Noble Lord, who, however. it ought
to he remembered, was actually offered by the
gaoler the privilege for which lie contesided. The
gaoler told the Noble Lord he may see the pri-
'osiers for whom he inquired, provided he re-
tit riczed his conversation to inquiries into their treat.
intent, and saw them in the gaoler's presence. The
Noble Lord acceded to this proposition, and then, on
a sudden, induced the gaoler to give him a refusal,
by reminding him, that ill the proffered admission
he wee contravening the orders he had front the Se-
cretary of State.—(!/era).—lt was clear, then, that
the object of the Noble Lord, in going to the pri-
son, was not to exercise a right of superintendence
over its inana4ernent as a Nlagistrute, but to assert
one in direct upposit ~,,, to the 'prerogative of the
Crown. He would at ooce object to the Noble
Lord's bon, pis being unnecessary, mist

burly destructive of one of the best guards which
ilw State had over its prisoners. This was die first
period in winch such a right as that asserted by
the Noble Lord had ever breu started, and he
imbued the 'louse would set it at rest for the fu-
ture.-1 I lent.)
Mr. S. 'imams said he would not touch on the
legal points of the question, hut would continue
himself to a brief examination of the facto out of
which it rose. The Noble Lord had, as a Magi*.
trate, demanded a right of admission to particular
prisoner- its a county gaol ; lie was refused, and had
in consequence inducted the gaoler fur this refusal.
On the trial the Noble Lord'sductrine was declared
wrung, and the gaoler's right. But then it seemed

The Sitting was opened' on the 6th February,

The truth confirms this; it 'hews us that far

" To say that the present French Guyer...mess'
should avoid employiug those who had served Bo-
hap arte. would be equally unjust, impolitic, and,
indeed, impracticable; it would be a sort or anti-
thrum against almost all the population of France.
Men of the first merit served him, not only in the
army, but in civil capacities. Nu Sovereign was
ever served with more zeal and fidelity than he
was; but at the same time it must be allowed, that
the composition of the greatest part of the present
Ministry or Louis XVIII. including thence who
have time chief influence in %drain, appears most ex-
traordinary. Though the Duke of Richelieu is
saonitially the principal 31iiiister, the real principal
Niue ster, he who enjoys the supreme power, is
De Case, who, under the Goverinuent of Napo.
Iron, was a Judge iu one of the Tribunals, with a
salary of about five hundred pounds u yeur; and
he era at the sauna time Secretary to time mother of
Napoleon. Next to him in credit and influence,
are Pasquier, Garde-des-SrPaux, or Keeper of the
Seals, and the head of the Ail iii Migration of Jus-
tice, who, under Bonaparte, wus Prefect of the
Police, consequently our of the principal agents
of his despotism; and .Jule, 11inister of the
Marine. This last obtained the notice of Bonaparte
by a work be published, the object of which was,
to inculcate that a Monarchical Government, such
as raijoyed and exercised by Bonaparte, was cif di-
vine institution, and of all others the best calcu.
hated to promote the glory of the Freud' notion
will the welfare of the people. Napoleon made
ban Prefect of Dijon, afterwards a Counsellor.
then a &fruitier of the Semite, and then Minster
of Justice, the place now filled by Pasquier. 011

held the place of Chief Director of the Punts el
Chalmers. Oil the return of Buisaparte from the

Saturday test. In the sitting of the Chamber of
Deputies of the 12th instant, the Count Nlutx,
Minister of the Marine, presented, in the King's

or France from engaging, directly or indirectly, in
the Slave Trade. The Minister, in his introductory
speech, stated, that this project should he
cunsi-
dercd as a necessary consequence of the additional
article to the Treaty or the quo Novemlwr, IL,
since without it this ytt►cle could. pint be wholly
extorted. The project consistßionly of two articles.
The first punishes with confiscation of ships and
cargoes any part taken in the trade by subjects of
Frame, or by foreigners within the dominions of
France. l'he second appoints the tribunals for de-
termining the offence. The project wits ordered to,
be printed and distributed, and Monday next ap-
pointed for referring it to the bureaus.
