ALIENS AND DENIZENS 1111.1.

Their Lordships resolved themselves into a Committets 011
this Bill.
The Earl of Latlettituait.t objected to the effects of the
Bill being extended for two years; when the measure was
originally introduced, its operatiou was confised to one
year, and why it 'Amok' sow be extruded to • more length-
toed period, be was at • loss to know ; but this he did
boos, that the Act being is force suspended several snits
in the Court of Session Firoilasi, on accuout of the tight
of siateralization of sailors being suspended.
Viscount MELVILLC rose, but frame the low tune of voice
bespoke in it was impossible to collect what he said. We
uuderstood kits to say, that the suits which had been al-
luded to by the Noble Earl might out termisate fur several
years, if the Act load sever passed ; sad that he could slate
trusts his own knowledge, that the Bank of Scotland had nu
objection to the continuation of the Bill being permauent.
The Fail of LitIDIVIDALI said, that the approval or
disapproval of the Bank of Neotlaiad, had nothing to do
with the question, fur they bad no interest in it. It was
not so with persons who had laid net their properly in the
Bank fur the object of becoming isbjects of the tawdry,
and were sow deprived of cueing as such is die Law courts
of Scotland. On these snoods he would take the sense of
the House %bather the Act should continue it force Oile
year or two. The Noble Earl accordingly moved that the
word w one" should be substituted for" two."
The Coatiutelt pat the quntioo, when the Amendment
was negatived without • division.
The Huo.t resumed, and the Noble Chairman made his
Report, that the Bill was agreed to without soy amendment.

THE QUEEN.
Mr. WiLseueoecs rose, and spoke as fol-
lows In consequence of the termination of ne-
gociations which lately took place, I thiuk it any
duty to give notice that I shall to-marrow submit a
motion to the House on the subject."—(Lead cheers
from all parts of the Howse.)
Mr. BROUGHAM—" By the rules of the House
my Hon. Friend's motion will to-morrow have pre-
cedence of the Noble Lord's.—(Hear.)—l merely
throw out this, for an understanding as to the order
of discussion. But what I have principally risen
for is this I beg leave to submit whether it is not
as well that the same course should be observed re-
specting this negociation as was observed in pre-
ceding ones—namely, that a statement should be
delivered, or laid on the table, of the grounds on
which the negociation failed. If this be done on
the part of his Majesty's Goverimienti us I appre-
hend to be the usual course, it would naturally lead
to a defence on the part of the opposite parties en-
gaged in the negociation. I take it for granted
that until this is done, all parties will abstain from
directly or indirectly touching upou the manner in
which that negociation was conducted. That point
cannot be fairly argued until the grounds upon
which the parties severally conducted their proceed-
ings are heard and examined. Refraining from this.
point now, pending the more important considers.
tion, by no means concluded the inquity into the
conduct of the negnciation."
Lord CalivLeacrinn—'l I am not SWAM that the
Hon. slid Learned Gentleindu is etactly correct in
the view lie has taken of the course adopted respect-
ing otgociltions. In the important public business
of the nation, a variety of instances occurred iu
which no coniideratioo was had in the mangier he
points out, upon the mode in which negociatious
were conducted. hi the business at Vienna (cer-
tainly not unimportant) no notice was taken in the
manner the Hon. and Learned Gentleman alludes
to, of the conduct of the negociations. I have
therefore no hesitation in saying, on the present
occasion, that I shall not think it uecessary, in the
manner he suggests, to offer any justification
of the course taken by his Majesty's Govern-
ment respecting the negocist. . The House
will judge of what has been done from the papers
this day laid before them. Willi respect to die pre-
cedence to which, by the arrangement of business in
the House, my Hon. Friend's (Mr. Wilberforce)
motion will be entitled to-morrow, I shall only say,
. that if this claim to precedence did not exist, I
. should gladly bend to any course which, in the
'judgment of the House, might render the further

• As to the conduct of the negociation, it is, of course,
open to the Hon. and Learned Gentleman (Mr. B.)
or any other Nlember, to do what lie may wi.h re.
specting it, and it will then be time for the parties
to enter upon their justification. If any mode can
be suggested of relieving the case from the difficul.
ties that attend it, I shall not think it inexpedient
to attend to the suggestion, and if possible to avoid
the further consideration whic:i my motion will les.

Mr. Baouoa►M trusted that the House would
do him the justice to believe, that he was as un-
willing as the Noble Lord, or the Hon. Member,
to do any thing to impede the accomplishment of
an object so earnestly desired by all. But in con.
sequence of the declaration of the Noble Lord. that
his Majesty's Government had nothing to utter in
the way of defence. because they had done nothing
that required defence, so he rumbaed, on behalf
of the Queen and her friends, that they felt that they
had done nothisig which requited defence, and no-
thing with which they could reasonably reproach
thetuselices. They were willing to leave the busi-
ness to be decided by the candour and justice of the
House and the country. lie trusted that au oppor-
tunity would be allowed her Majesty's advisers to
explain their motives and conduct. in case the bull..
nt.'s should take an important and serious attitude:
Ile declined fur the present otiterlring in any way
with the motion of the Hau. Member, or guy object
connected with it.

Mr. TIERNEY expreemell his muwillingneor to do
soy thing to remove the peobability of adjustments
Bat he was anxious to hair sante further replants..
lion from the Hon. Member as to the object of his
motion, sod to whet course he meant to parade
that object. He wished to feel sure that the House
would net be plated in any iucouveinent Ottsitiou by
that antioa. He mold give the Hots. Member
