In the flouse of Lords, yesterday evening, the
Drike.of Mortaosa brought in the Bill for indent.

cerned in the surest and detention of persons since
11,r l.t of JArttiory, 1817, suspected of High Tres-
sou. The. EMI I of LAUDERDAILZ urged u very
forcible objection to the mode of proceeding now
adopted by Miuistrrs in respect of this Bill, and
displayed, iu strong terms, the indecency of de.
ceding in that House upon a matter winch might,
by possibility, shortly come before them in a
judicial shape, by impeachment from the House
of Commons. The ♦Ministers, no doubt, ham
excellent reasons for presuming upon a verdict
of acquittal by the Sec►et Committee of the
Lower. House; but eveu the anxiety they must
naturally feel to ha►e this irksome matter decided
a► soon as possible, and before the Easter recess,.
ought to yield to some phew of decency. It was.
well urged by the Noble Loeds in °waiting, that

the noose could ascertain the ordure of the Com-
mons' Report; but Ministers prevailed spinet
him, and the Bill was rend a first time. The-
seenad reading stands for Friday, with ars ander-
stasiding that should the Bill then receive the sanc-
tion of their Lordships, it shall not be committed
wail Tuesday.
Some surprise was expressed in the House of
Commons last night, by Mr. MACDONALD, that the
Report of the Secret Committee was not yet ready,
when Mr. B. BATHURST promised that it should
be presented on Friday. Some difficulty appears
to have occurred in the Committee during their
sitting of yesterday; but if the character of the
expected Report bear any resemblance to that
which has issued from the Committee of the Lords,
we may well express surprise that in a document
so meagre, vague, and indefinite, Mar ink' lit could
have been found on which a difficulty could be
started.
