to Scotland for the puretiiie ilhok stock. This
was done under the faith of Parliament, and per-
haus the investment might be effected between the
.day of passing this Act, and the day on which the
passing of it would become known in Edinburgh.
A few days ought therefore, in justice, br allowed
to suffer the completion of an Act commenced on
'the faith of the Legislature. He had not an oppor-
tunity of studying the effects of this Bill, but even
•lice he hart got on his legs, it struck hint that by
the preamble of the Bill. the House was called upon
to take away one of the prerogatives of the Crown,
without any intimation of the acquiescence of the
Crowe in such u determination, and without a Mes-
sage. It was not impossible that those who had
already shewn themselves so ignorant of the exist.
ence of a very important law, so ignorant too of the
effect and extent of the measure now proposed,
should he also very ignorant of its possible effect
upon the prerogatives of the Crown itself. For
these considerations, and in the apprehension that
such s p►otceding might be drawn into precedent,
he should protest alpinist the present measure alto-
gether.—/Hear, hear.)
The Bill was then read a second time. The
commit"! of it was negatived. It was read tile
third time, and on the question for its passing—
Earl GRZY rose and said, that he could not
suffer the present measure to pass without entering
his decided protest against the practice of hurrying
Bill, on one night through all their stages---a
practice which could not but be atteuded with the
moat dangerous consequences. Ministers had in-
deed brought the country to such a /1110111011, that
even oi day's delay might be attended with 1:011r+1.•
deeable inconvenience. He of course alluded to
the immediate dissolution of Parliament, and to the
proceedings that have been instituted in the country
consequenceofthisexitectat. . But whatever may
he the inconvenience thence arising, if it were pot
into the scale opposed to that of suspending the
Standing Orders of the Howe on inconsiderable
pretences. he could not hesitate in waking his
elect between thetu.—(Herse, hear, hear. /
But whatever was the normal/courtier, it should be
recollected that it was ceased by the acts of Minis-
ters, who did not bring the oubject in sufficient
time before the consideration of Parliament. The

Standing Orders of the /loose were the securities
established by the wisdom of successive ages for
the preservation of the best interests of the coon-
try, mill though he doubted not that instances
might he produced of the snopension of the Stand-
ing Orders, yet they would be found only in Calk*
of urgent necessity, and not merely for the par-
;Noses of ministerial convenience. The present
Till seemed to have originated, and to proceed in
the ignorance of Ministers ; and lie now asked
them, if they were aware what Acts of Par-
liament they purposed to suspend by it, and what
rights of individuals were about to be affected ?
011 a former OCC.IPIOII. the Noble and Learn-
ed Lord oil the IVonlsack had expressed his
desire, that a Bill were brought in to pre-
sent the naturalization of aliens, except by Act
of Parliament. 'lite Noble and Learned Lord,
however, hail expressed this desire, without consi-
dering the many various means whereby aliens me.
ritorniusly acquired naturalization; and on their
being noticed by him, the Noble and Learned Lord
acknowledged the force of the objection, sod con-
sented to forgo his previous opinion. It was not how-
rmveir, too much to ask of the Noble Lords opposite,
what was the extent and bearing of their own mea-
sure ? The Bill did not recite the Statutes which

were to be repealed, and he remembered an in-
stance in the present Parliament, where an objec-
tion wite made by the Noble and Learned Lord cm
tile IVoo!sack, founded upon this point, to a Bill
'for removing the penalties attached to the offence of
impugning the Trinity, which proved fatal to the
tie could not see why the same objection
was not possessed of equal force in regard to the
present measure. Many of the Statutes to be sus-
pended by this Bill, were Acts of the Parliament

which foreign Protestants were induced to settle in

the Lord Lieutenant'''. license, but they were not
recited in the Bill. After alluding to the injuries
arising to individuals from the enactment of this
"measure, and the increase of arbitrary power it
might give to a credulous Secretary of State. the
Noble Lord concluded by expressing bis wotest
against the proceeding as unnecessary, and fraught
with the most dangerous consequence
The Earl of LieLiteoot. remarked, that the
Noble Earl had in the commencement of his
'speech acknowledged that a delay of even a single
'day might, under present circumstances, cause
very great inconvenience, and thence argued on
the propriety of hastening the measure. 'the sus-
pension of the Standing Orders was notoriously prac-
tised in every Session of Parliament, and even the
right of doing so was implied by that Standing
Order which required that none should be auspend-
ed without a day's previous notice. But he would
not rest the case merely upon this, for he con-
tended that having passed an Alien Bill, front po-
litical considerations, it was the bounden duty of
the House, even if Parliament were to sit for a
month, to suspend the Stendiag Orders of the
House, that not a moment might he lost in poising
the present measure. If the slightest delay, even
of a few days, were to he permitted, the Alien Bill
would become a mere nullity, for every alien in
the country would in a few days be divested of that
character, hi' purchasing stock of the Bank of
Scotland.—(l /earl—lle did not conceive that the
enutneraii 111 l of all the law to he suspended by the
present Bill was necessary. The present measure
was inertly one for the temporary suspension of
these Statutes. It was, indeed, his idea that they
should be repealed altogether, but the present
period of the Session was not proper for so extensive
re consideration of ►he question. It watt his opinion
that no aliens should become lemmatized but by
meritorious services, or such other means as gave
some security for their becomitig good sill+ ctss
Earl SPENCER ruse, for the purpose of entering
his protest against the entire proceeding, us an
outrageous violation of the forms of the House;
and when he considered the character of the clause
lately introduced, and the elution, changes of opt-
mon that accompanied the progress of the present
measure, lie could not but consider it at a very
efanv,e,iiss precedent. The removal of the retro-
- t given to the original clause, was, he
strongest objection he entertained to

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10, 1810.

Last evening the Lords dispensed with the Standing
Orders of their House, and permitted the Bill for sus-
pending the Act of the Scottish Parliament relative
to the naturalization of aliens to pass through all its
stages. !Ministers have thus succeeded in repairing,
by some means, the error of their former proceedings,
but ant w►thout violating, in the most outrageous
manner, the forms 10111111 y acknowledged by both
Houses of Parliament. A B►ll, of which to a certain
extent we have already expressed our approbation,
but which is undoubtedly of such great importance,
and involving the con•iulerutinn of so many various
interests, as to merit a mote serious discussion, was
forced in two days through both Houses. This
haste was perhaps necessary in the present state of
the country; but this only proves the impropriety
of the condnct of Ministers, in not having brought
the Alien Bill at an earlier period before the con-
sideration of Parliament, and their presumption in
legislating upon subjects of which they have proved
themselves totally ignorant.
This Bill being passed, Parliament will this day
