to that clause in the bill which took away trial by jury, and de-
clared his intention to tnke the sense of the Lords upon it, when
the bill was before the committee. If this bill was continued
with that clause there was remedy for persons, whatever might
be the injury inflicted under un abuse of power.
Lord ELLEN DOHA/UGH stated, that lie should feel it his
duty to endeavour to elf...et a change in the administration, in
case something was not done for Ireland early next a,2ssion.
After Lord Litn.rick, Earl Darnley, Lord Itcdesdale, and
other Lords hat spoken on the subject, the bill was lead the
second time. The house then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
MONDAY, :rLy ii.

Sir T. Tyrwhitt, the Usher of the Black Rod, summoned
the Howie to attend in the House of Peers, to bear the Royal
Assent givea by Commission to sundry public Bills, &c.—(See
the Lords )
Petitions against Mr. lironglism's Retail Beer Trade Bill
were presented from Cani.arluary, Deal, Dover, Sandwich. Oak-
ingham, Salford, Ashton-miner-line, Manchester, Hanuer-
sent's, and other places in Middlesex, Kent, Margate, Rums-
gate, Rochester, Dartford, Essex, Kingston upon4lianies and
R.ply.
Mr. BROUGHAM was not surprised at this opposition.
It was got up by the Brewers, who were against all diminution
of the monopoly. He had letters from some publicans, who
wee.- tilt to he frightened, which proved this fact. lie kid
examined all the reasons adduced against this Hill, all of
which rose in succession in favour of this Bill a. and they would
have the elect, with additional inducements, of promoting the
Petitions read, and ordered to be printed.
Mr. LENNARD presented a Petition from inhabitant
Householders of Middlesex, complaining of the high fees, &c.
of the. Middlesex County Court. He said, that early iu
in the next Session, he should wove for a Committee of En-
quiry into this subject. It was too late in the Session to move
fur such Committee now.—Petition ordered to be printed.
Mr. BEN ET (of Wilts) presented • Petition from Wan.
Baker, and two other pet sous, imprisoned at Great Yarmouth,
trivial been seized out at sea by one of his Majesty's Revenue
Cutters. They prayed a revision of the Revenue Laws, as
they were in hostility to the laws of nations. The Petition
was read. .

Dr. LLSRINGTON was surprised that this subject was
not noticed by Members opposite. This case was most ex-
traordinary. Within fifty nodes of the Dutch coast the search
was enforced ; the vessel was tired into, and one man was
killed. He was persuaded that the whole proceeding was
contrary to law.
Lord LONDONDERRY said there were other and more
preferable modes of obtaining redress than that of applying to
Parliament.—Petition ordered to be printed.
SOUTH AMERICAN TRAUE.—Lord LONDONDERRY said
be had instituted enquiry into the case of the Lurd Coiling-
wood, that had been seined by the Spanish Authorities when
that vessel was on its way to one of the independent ports, on
the ground that it had on hoard prohibited article,. lie had
instituted all possible enquiry, and representations bad been
made to the Spanish Court particularly, of the intention of the
British Government to protect all their vessels similarly cir-
cum•tanced. _ . _

Sir J. MACINTOSH said this was very satisfactory infor-
mation. Nothing in the law of nations was more clear cer-
tainly, than that such power could not be justified where the
alleged Sovereign's authority was not warranted by posses-
sion.

Sir J. MACINTOSH presented a Petition from Ashton-
under-Line, praying the House to interfere to protect the
Greeks.

Mr. HUME took the opportunity of asking, whether there
was any truth in Ma statement, that some Greeks who bad ap-
plied to the lonian Islands for prot,ction had been refused.
Mr. WILMOT replied, that be bad heard nothing of such
refusal to any limited number of Greeks ; but if tbey were to
present themselves in large numbers, he did not know what
Wight be the answer.
Mr. HU fCIIINiiONI condemned the apathy of the House
and the Coverunient on this subject. The mini,tters had done
all they i mild to resist the cause of liberty ; they had put it
down every where ; and lie hoped that the tsbles would be co-
vered with petitions, to implore the Muse to make some efforts
,o secure the ancient honour of the country.
Mr. WILBERFORCE said, it appeared to him disgraceful
that the powers of Europe did not combine and make au ell'ort
to renege the Greeks from their present calamities.--lllearo
Tile Turks ought to be persuaded to quit Europe, and go into
Asia.

Lord LONDONDERRY did not imagine the the lion.
member would persuade four or live millions of Turks to
transport themselves from Europe. As to the cruelties, all
mu►t deplore them ; but they were not all on one side. Ile
was persuaded that the Greeks were guilty of as extensile
cruelties as were the Turks.

Sir R. WILSON said that the government at least could
repeal the foreign enlistment act.—(Blear, hear! )
Lord A. lIAMILTON said, if the Turkish government were
unable to enforce its own orders, be saw no chance of expira-
tion till the Greeks were extirpated. Ile trusted, however,
that there would be impartiality at the lonian Islands;—(!fear,
bear! )
Sir R. WILSON asked, whether the Greek flag would be
respected in South America.
Lord LONDONDERRY said, every effort was made to pre-
serve neutrality at the lonian Islands ; but it was difficult to
make many parties understand what neutrality meant. As to
the Greek flag, it would he respected like that of 'I ui key.
Mr. WESTERN presented a petition from inhabitants of
Highgate, liorosey, Nc. against the Ilighp.ate Chapel
Read, referred to the committee on the bill, and they were
ordered to attend by counsel or themselves, if they so thi.ught

Mr. HUMS presented a petition from Kenrington. &c.
complaining of the county court.—Ordered to lie on the table'
The report of the Irish Constables Bill was agreed to; and
the hill ordered to be read a third time to-morrow.
Mr. GOUI.BURN moved that the Irish lusuirection Bill be
read a third time.

Mr. HUTCHINSON opposed the Bill ; he was against its
being made law without inquiry. He contended that these laws
woutd not accomplish what was ilcsisrai. The system of go-
vernment was bad. Whoever were Ministers there wan no in-
quiry ; there was no effort to afford redress of great grievances-
All lie asked for his country was, that before it had indicted.
on it such an act as the Insurrection Act, enquiry should be
instituted, and its necessity made apparent.
After an extended desultory debate, on the order of the day
for the honor going into a committee of supply,
Mr. HUME said, be must again call the attention of the
House and the noble Marquis to the enormous tax ley', d on
