SIR W. MANNERS-AND ARMSTRONG JARVIS.

- • - --
Sir N. HERON said, that he understood that
Sir W. Manners Mid Armstrong Jarvis had been
taken into custody, and that Hugh Manners and
Atter were in aitendmice, according to
the order of the House. The two latter had beet►
directed to attend to inform the House respecting
the escape of Sir William and Jarvis. Now, as
the fugitive, were already in custody, sod as he on.
derstood that their evidence was not so material
to the Committee upon which they were ordered to
attend, as it was expected to have been, and re-
membering also the disposition of the House to
chew leutily to those of the parties who hail merely
acted in 'conformity with the directions of Sir
William, unit hail no will, he would move, that
the Order of the Day, requiring the attendance of
Hugh Manners and %Vmllian► Alter, should he read
and discharged. He understood tf►at Jarvia lied
surrendered himself; sod was already committed to
Newgate. He would shortly have a petition to
preseut from Jarvis to the House, praying for their
mercy, of which he conceived Jams to be a very
proper object. He had no motion to nuke with re-
spect to Sir W. Manners.
The order was then discharged.
Mr. W. W yam said, that it was an additional
ressoulur extending the mercy of the Howse to the
inferior delinquents that the chief defendant was
already its custody. lie moved, that Sir William
Manlier, should be committed to Newcate.
Sir J. GRAHAM said a was impossible that Sir
William should have absconded to elude the
Speaker's warrant for taktog him into custody, us
was asserted in the motion, for Sir William had left
home two hours before the arrival of the messenger
at Bucktninster, and could i►nt have known that
such a warrant was not against him. Ile moved an
amendment, that Sir William► Manners should be
discharged out of custody.
Dr. 11111.1.11.10 RE put it to the House to consider
in what situation it would tie placed if they hbe-
►ated Sir William, after setting their own orders at
defiance, and proceeded against Jarvis. who had no
will of his own to exer►. He Issoprol the acme jute-
lice would be dealt to both offenders.

Mr. TEN X YsoN thought it right to state, that
though the evidence of ti r ‘Villtoin and Jarvis had
been coiled for aw snat,rial evitleiice by the C -
mittee, yet they had been all that day to custody,
slid ready to attend the Committee, and yet had
not been collet! on.

The SPEAKER called the Honourable Member to
order. He would upland to his own judgment sod
discietion, if there ere, We., or ever could be, an
occariuu wherein witnesses, offer beins ordered to
attend upon that House, could be suffered to (le-
ternime fur themselves, whether their evidence
would be material or not, and decide accorditigly
upon the obedience or disobedience which it might
be necessary to eviller.
Mr. TENNYSON twigged pardon, and thanked
the Speaker for his reprimand. But hr would com-
pare the case to that of a witness called in the its-
ferior Coact+, where he would not only receive
awbp4ene, hot as uflitlevit most be drawn stating
that the evidence "mold he necessary.

The SPEAKER was sorry to interrupt the Ho-
nourable &leinber a:4min. He must have misunder-
stood him if he called hie explanation s reprimand.
lint he war disorderly inasmuch as the subject mitts
ter RI-his discus war ■n order which bud liven
given by that House. He ►epeated it. and would
persist in it until the House should determine the
contra►y, that it must be disorderly iii the extreme,
to enter into discussion for the ;purpose of estublirh-
ing a ditferAice on the merit 14 obeying ur dis-
obeying the orders of the House, on the assump-
tion of the evidence of the offending party being
material or otherwise.
Mr. W. 11►vNN %sill a ft* wordy.

Colonel VVoub thought that the real question
htfore finut,e was, whether Sir W. Manner, had
aincOntled to tludr tfir Spent:tea warrasit fur his
apprehrio.ion Of out ? This it would be esupossible
to know, except be were to be called to the bar and
examined.

The original-mutton was then pot.
A Member 'node stone übject 7.it the ground

Sir J. MACKINTOSH reminded the Ileum., that
on Wednesday last ts Revolution had been entered
no their Journals, that " it appeared in the House
that Sir Wm. Manners had viblicondeti, in order to
ovoid being take-ii into custody." Thus was after
evidence hod been given of the offence charged,
and slier the atemenger had been examined who
was ordered to serve the warrant.
It was then ordered that Sir W. Manners should
be cominitted.to Newipte.

bfishment. Hrhad visitedit in- company with his
Honourable Friend, the Meitiber. for Middleairt,
and without giving iity'revirtiis notice of his in-

(with the exception of three individual.) appeared
quite satisfied with their eiteetiori. He load mi-

If not cured, at least materially relieved tinder the
management of•Str W. Adams while their pen-
sions were still contioued on the original scale. it
was for the consideration of the House, whether
some examination should not be instituted into the
cases of these men, with a view of determining (as
at understood) whether sonic &diII:HOU might nut
with propriety be made from the pensions at lion
granted them. Suds an inquiry, of course, should
'be commotted only to medical persons. The Hem.
Grotleman then moved.— _

That there be laid Wont the Haase a return of the
number of Soldiers who are sow receiv►ng peasioos um oc-
arias of blindness.
Sir T. ACLAND expressed himself very glad to
find that the Hon. Gentleman hail so handsomely
acknowledged his present impressions on the sub-
ject of the institution. and endeavoured to remove
those which possibly had been created iii the minds
'of others by what had passed in the House before.
He (Sir I'. Adam!) knew that ass institution at
Exeter, with which Sir W. Adams bad been cots-
' smiled, bud certainly proved a very great blessing
to that part of the country. The Hon. Gentle-
man -Nil stated that a considerable number of sol-
diers were now receiving pensions fur life on ac-
count of blindness, who hail been restored to sight
by Sir Wm. Adams; so that the pensions were
continued. though the cause for granting them listi
ceased. He was, therefore, of opinion, that it
should be referred to W. Adams, or some
other medical Gentleman. to examine and report
whether those individuals were or were not cured.
Mr. RF.NNsTT4hd not believe that the persons
in 411C111011 could be properly said to be cooed, al-
though considerable relief might have been afforded
them.

Lord PALMERSTON said that it gave him very
great matirfaction to hear the statement which had
been made by the Hen. Gentleman ; it was ex-
actly such a one as he had expected from the can-
dour of his mind. It was perfectly true. that
many persons had received various degrees of re-
lief from Sir v: Adams.* treatment—some incon-
siderable, with reference to the proper amongst of
promos) to be granted—but other. so great, that if
it hail been coriferxed before the pensions were
awaided, that circumstance would have operated
much iii determiningilseir extent. The Chelsea
Board, however, bad hitherto forborne taking any
steps 011 the subject, and were resolved 141 observe
the same conduct till they could see their way fur-
ther than they at prerent
Sir J. Yout said, he apprehended that ton
much stress had been laid on the practice of Sir
W. Adams. He (Sir J. Yorke) had been a Di-
rector of Greenwich Hospital at the time that the
first body of pensioners from that had been placed
under she came of that practitioner. The patients
selected were the most favourable that could be
discovered ; and, therefore, he tl ght. that though
very great cities hid certainly been performed on
them by Sir %V. Adam., any re►pectable army sur-
geon would have done as much.
Mr. BARHAM said, that Ilse selection had been
made entirely from those pensioners who had been.
pronounced incurable by the army surgeons; yet
that Sir William Adams had effected some corn.
pier cures among them.
Mr. BLENETr conside►ed it a mistake to sup-
pose these individuals had been perfectly cured,
though they might have been materially beam-
tiled.

Mr. C. H. Hurt:Hinson bore tertitnony to the
superiority of Sir W. Adams's. mode of treatment,
and the repeated and 'extraordinary success with
which it had been attended. _ .

EASTINOIA COMPANY'S CORPS.
Mr. CANNING,. alter moving the order orthe day
for receiving the Iteport of the East India Company
Vol 1111 l errs Bill, said that its object was to rei.ra
Ramie (to about onr.third of its hornier extent) a
corps originally established in the year 1793 or 1794,
which was kept up uninterrupted for a number of
years, suit which was at length disbanded in con-
sequence of a eliirrrence of opinion as In the funds
by which it, should he supported, between the
Board of Directors soil the Board of Control, It
was now proposed to defray the expresses of the
corps out of the commercial funds of the Coa-
lmen. a charge which they were amply sufficient to
hear. 'rhe first destination of the volunteers would
be the custody of the Company's own premises,
and the peewee( of their own properly in
case of any commotion in the metropolis.—
The propriety of such a safeguard would probably
be 01101111 rd, when it was considered that the Com-
pally stocks continued properly estiinated to amount
to thirteen mill s—right of their own, five be-
longiug to individual.•. They had also .1 depot tit

one could doubt that such a ►put should be guard-

LIMF.RICK•ELECTION. _

Mr. JANES 13A1.Y moved the Order of the Day.
that Henry IYE•terre, Esq. he brought to the
bar. in order to his heisig discharged.
SirJASIES MACKINTOSH said, lie rose not to op.
pose the ni.otion, or to interpose any obstacles to the
discharge, of Mr. D'Esterre„ but to offer some sug-
gestions for the serious consideration of those per-
sons who were concerned in the circumstances of
this most humiliating case. The Petitioner, it ap-
peared, was a member of a learned and most re-
spectable profession on the other side of the water.
and also filled a judicial situation. He had him-
self, in his Petition, admitted that parts of his
evidence before the Select Cotpmittee were contra-
slictory ; he therefore hoped that it would be con-
sidered that it wee absolutely impoillible, l'fter
what had happened, that he should any longer con-
tinue to discharge the duties of a judicial office,
dor a member of u learned profession. He hoped
thin this would be seriously considered by the per-
sons with whom the determinanon regarding the
office would rest, and also by the profession of
which the Petitioner was a member.

Ati Hon. Gentleman whose name we could not
aszertain, and whit been n Member of the Se-
lect Committees observed, that the Corporation of
Limerick had disgraced itself in a Most extraordi-
nary manner in the course of the election ; and
added (as we collected), that no amendment is
their conduct was to be expected, while ►Mr. D'Es.
terry continued to he Recorder.

Mr. JAMEs DALY said, that imbedy was more fully
aware of the impropriety of the Petitioner's con-
duct than he was. but that the Petition having been
tint into his haunts on Saturday, he could not de-
cline presenting it.
Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH sugrested. that some
insurance should he held out that the Petitioner
should cease to hold the office.
Mr. J. DAI.Y said, that his continuance in the
office depended very much on the Lord Lieutenant.
There was an annual election, for the confirmation
of the result of which the Lord Lieutenant's sanc-
tion was necessary, and he was sure that would not
tiny longet he given.
Mr. C. GRANT said, that the subject should be
taken into serous consideration.

Sir J. MACKINTOSH said that that was his object.
Mr. BANKKs wished the. the question should he
postpoued, that the House might have time to de-
termine what was the most convenient mode of pro-
ceeding.
Mr. C. GRANT understood that the office in
question was tilled by annual election,, which took
place in Sepiensliet, and that a re-election could
not he of farce without the sanction of the Lord
Lieutenant. If that were so, he had no hesitation
in staling that the Lord Lieutenant would withhold
his sanction.—(Hear.)
Mr. BARNES wished that something should be
done in the mean time.

Lord CASTLEREAGH said, that there was no way
of depriving a corporate officer duly elected but by
course of law ; but it was quite clear that the period
we% not distant when a re-election must take place.
The question was then curried in the affirmative,
and M.. D'Erterre was brought up to the bur ill
the custody of the Serjrant at Arms. and addressed
by the Spriiker to the following effect :
" /Icor). D'Esterre, you have been reported to this House
by the Select Committee appointed to by sad determine the
Petitions complaining of an midge elect ion aid return for the
city of Limerick,ar having been guilty of gross prevarication
in giving your evidence before the sense Coaunistee. For
that offence you have been committed by order of this House

ing sorrow sod coutrition for the errors you have committed,
and prayiag that the House will be pleased to order yoordis.

me slow brought up to the bar to he reprisnanded in order to
beteg discharged. If it were my defy to reprimand a per-
son of the lower orders of the society, but half educated,
and half ignorant of the solemn duties of an assis, it would
be unquestionably necessary fur me to 'siemens, the nature,
character, and consequesices of such so offence; I should
endeavour to impress on his mind that prevarication bad • di-
rect tendency to defeat the ends of truth and justice, sod *hal
it differed rather is legal construction than is fact and con-
science from the crime of perjury. But when I am ad.
dressing one who has received a liberal edveatioo, who is •
member of a learned and respectable professioo, and who la
in the exercise of a judicial effigy it closet be thought ne-
cessary that I should render the diichaege of the duty which
I am called upon to perform the more painful by ad-
monishing you of the enormity of the offence, or of the
flintier and infamy with which jt is Weeded.—
This task I shall leave to your own taloa, persuaded that its
redectioua will *hew you the impropriety of your conduct,
more strongly than nay words of mine could convey. To
these reflections. therefore, I ant torment to leave yea; and
shall only fusther inform you that you are to be discharged
out of custody on the payment of your fees. and you are sc.
coidingly uow discharged ea payment of your fees."
The Petitioner was then taken away from the
bur—after the reprimand was loudly cheered.

inserted on the Journals.
SALE OF SPIRITS.
The CHANCELLOR of l R Lie ....xEHEGUER moved
the Order of the I)isy fur the secoud reading of the
Sale of Spirits Bill.
Mr. M ARRTATT contended that the introduction
of the measure was contrary to a standing order of
the House, stud that before proceeding further. the
matter of the Bill should be referred to a Select
Committee.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER argued
that the atunding order in question did hut apply_
Mr. W. SMITH had been told within halt an
hour by persons most nearly interested its the spirit
trade in this country. that if the 801 l were passed
that trade would be ruined ; tinder these circaos-
stances„ he thought it itnpussible -the House could
go on without the application of a Select Com-
mitter.
Lord CASTS:RHEUM said. that the ohjeet of ate
Bill was merely to rear* regulations in the trade
which had bees, repealed is the year 1817, and had

Previously been in elkiatence for teitenteen
The necessity of the interference of • Select Com-
mittee was a notion eo contrary to common senor,
that. if admitted, it wonld interrupt the whole pit:-

Sir J. NistroaT said. that the Bill was to re-
peal certain parti of an Act of 1817; and it reAtly
was enough to puzzle any one to discover bow ti.

or how the enacting of the measure would destroy $
trade which had been seventeen years in existence

Oitu rr*.

Lord PALMERSTON moved the Order of the Day
for the House going into Committee on the MilittA
Bill.
Colonel WOOD paid, that this was a Bill which
had passed every year without opposition ; but last
year certain words had been added to it, which ins-
teri idly altered the mode of supplying clothing, and
took away from the Colonels that control in this
respect which they had for many years enjoyed. He
hoped therefore that the Noble Lord would 114%.•
no objection to erasing these words from the presen:
Bill.
Lord PALMERSTON said, that the reason of the
alteration was, that there having been a great trail-
tity of very good clothing in store, some of that
was issued out instead of money fur the purchase
of clothing, which would have been a waste GI
public money.
The Bill then passed through ■ Committee—
Report to-morrow.

ALIEN Olf.L.
Lo►e CASTI.EIIII6AGN mitred the Order of the
Day for • Committee of the whole House ou the
Aliens Regulatiou Bill.
Sir J. MACJIIIITOSH rose. not to oppose the
Speaker's leaving the chair, or to enter on a di•co--
lion of the principles of the measure, but for
stronger reasons. The Hon. and Learned Gent.
after a variety of observations, stated, that his object
was to propose, that it should he an instruction to
the Committee to introduce three clauses into it.
which he. described. The first required the Prier-
Council to cause to be communicated to ■liens, pre-
viunsly to their removal; a general ►ummary of the
matters ■lleged against them—to allow them a rea-
sonable time for their defence—and to permit them
to be heard by themselves or Counsel, and to pro-
duce witnesses for the purpose of disproving the
allegations. The second clat►sr proposed to exempt
from the operation of the Bill all aliens settled in
this country prior to the Ist January, 1814. Thar
day was antecedent to the peace with France, which
took place in May. 1814; so that the clause wool&
exempt none of the adherents of Napoleon, and no
Jacobins, because they had not left France before
that time. The third was of a more peculiar na-
ture. Its object was to take out of the operation of
the Act all witnr►ses who might come to this coun-
try to be examined for or against the Bill Pain•
and Priorities now pearling against her Ma-
jesty the Queen. The Honourable and Learn-
ed' Gentleman then maintained at considerable
length that the adoption of such a provision as the
last was necessary to preserve the course of justice
from being disturbed; and also to deprive the ene-
mies of Parliament and tl►r country, at home and
abroad, of all ground of complaint or calumny
on the mode of conducting the investigation. fle
then moved the instructiou on the first clause at
above described.

The question having been put—
Lord CASTLIMIAGII rose and said, he would not
pretend to follow the lion. and Learned Gentleman
through all the incidental matter which he had in-
troduced, but apply his observatious at once to the
clauses which the Hon. and Learned Gentleman
had proposed is be added to the Bill now before
the House. It was a very easy course for NOM
nod Learned Gentlemen to assume that all the ar-
guments were oil their side ; but notwithstanding
he would not now enter at length into the argument
or the merits, as such had already been urged in the
previous stager of the measure, and it therefore could
not be considered aw soy derogation for any indivi-
dual to avoid inflicting spoil the House a repetition
of them. The two first clauses proposed were not
new ; they had been brought forward mice. or more
than once, on former occasions, and the House had
then expressed their sense upon them. The first
was a clause to enable the Council to enter into a
regular judicial inquiry to esiiiiiine witnesses, and
in short to have a complete trial. Now he must
"Eel that if there were any grounds for an Alien. Bill
at all, it must frequently be acted upon from infbr-
mstion, and under circumstances that could not be
communicated to the party, and if the House were
not prepared to grant the measure in the only
way it had been accustomed to do, it would
be better not to have it all. Hi. objection
was very great to turning this power into
a general political tribunal fdr the pariy—lt
tribunal unknown to the constitiiiirm of the roam
try. The second of the I-Lett. alit! Learned Gen-
tler:tale* claims to exempt from the opersnon of
the Bill all those foreigners who ere in Eriglatiti
prior to 1814, was mistiming that Ile foreigners re-
siding here before the war were legitimate objects
of jealousy, but they might certainly. though not
heretofore dangerous, became so from their con-
nexion with others of their countrymen who might
but recently have come over. If he had objectimis
to the two first clamors, tholse objecti were Infi-
nitely stronger to the third clause,- for he could out
conceive a greater libel, or a fouler reproach on
the Government of the country. than to have it
insinuated that the powers of this &II were likely
to be used for the purpose of obstructing public
justice. The Honourable and Learned Gentle-
man most know that no Government would exei-
cise such power kir obstructing the purposes of
justice—so far front that being in the miorls of Ins
Majesty's Ministers, he (Lord Castlereagh) had tea-
dered to the Hon. and Learned Gentlemen, her

Majesty's legal atitrivert, tiny liee ilitY in rtocuring
itiiesses from ehroad. which it tens in the power of
GineriArnent to rant. Any conduct of the sort
pointed by the clause would not only deserve the
condemnation of the country, bet would merit im-
peachment frnm that Muse. If the Hon. and
Le II ill • Gentleman had cast his eyes abroad within
beer few days, he would have found ample grounds
of reprehension in the conduct of Dowse individtrels
telin had assaulted certain foreigners who had landed
•it Dover, understanding they were coming as wit.
Aries iu the inquiry now unfortunately pending.
If there existed any individuals who could so dis.
griee themselves by conduct so contrary to every
principle of hospitality sisal justice, he thought there
was no man hut must reprobate it. and he trusted
ne I louse of Commons would not give any sanction
to the idea that Government would use any power
intruSlell so them for the imposes of obstructing
justice; and if this clause was adopted. such, he
thought, was the necessary inference which would
be drawn.

Mr. Scitatere thought the argument of the
Noble Lord the most extraordinary he had ever
heard, for it came simply to this, that the powers of
which the Ministers were now to be divested were so
odious and tyrannical, dud it was an insult to them
to imagine they would ever exercise them. The
clause, as proposed by his Hon. and Learned Friend.
was for the purpose of preventing calumny. He
(Mr. Scarlet') did not think the Nuble Lord would
misuse the powers of the Bill, but he might be stun
pected of misusing it, and he did not think, there-
fore. that the public at large would be quite so well
satisfied; and the circumstance to which the Noble
Lord had alluded in proper terms of reprehension,
was, to his mind, a complete illustration of his (Mr.
Scarlett's) argument as to the public sentiment on
the subject. As to the other clauses, the Noble
Lord said the House had before heard the argu-
ments upon them ; but there was this difference,
that the Bill was now about to expire, and the
Noble Lord lead stated no reaeoes whatever for its
renewal. Was there. he would ask, no alteration of
circumstances in two years ? Were we still expos.-d
to the dangerof revolution from foreiguers? During
the war lie had understood the Act was passed to
prevent the machinations of foreigners attacking
their institutions; but now did such (longer,. exist ?
All Governments were now legitiniate, all dangers,
therefore, from abroad had ceased, sod he thought
that each time the Act was proposed to be renewed
it was ti cesaary to have a statement of the causes
that rendered it necessary ; but the Noble Lord's
argument was, make it as odious and tyrannical as
you can, as it is only for two years; and in this lie
agreed with the Noble Lord, though not for exactly
the some reason. What he (Mr. Seeded) was
afraid of was tiny, that, after repeated discussions
in that House, when the public were tired of
hearing argument. urged without producing any
ef ect. that the Noble Lord would come down and
propose to make the measure permanent. And,
indeed, such was his opinion of the Noble Lord's
tairsits and eloquence, that I* bad little doubt if
he were now to pioneered, he would carry it; go
that he esteemed the present limited measure as
a proof of the Noble Lord's moderation. He
would not trespass on the tune of the House,
by entering on the general question, but this
much he would state, that, in his opinion, no
man, of whatever rank or profession he might be,
at all consulted the good of his country by look-
ing back to the ages of the Tudors, in order to
understand the British Constitution. He was con-
tent to look no further back than that period when
the Constitution was settled on its present basis,
lie meant from the Revolution downwards, and
he could not applaud any one who should revert
to the age of the 7th or Stb Henry; and he was
satisfied that there was no authority, at least he
had never read any, to phew that the Crown ever
possessed in time of peace the prerogative of dis-
posing of the persous of foreigners the same us in
lone of war.
Mr. WELLESLEY POLE was astonished to hear
the Hots. sod Learned Gentleman (Mr. Scowled)
say, that the abominable conduct of the rabble who
had attacked the foreigners who had landed at
Dover was an exemplification of the *tale of public
feeling ; fur his part he must say, that he trusted
the rabble always would he ag:mist the Ad •stra-
lion, for in critical times it was much like a proof
that Ministers were to the right. Yet that sense-
lose act of the mob was considered by the Hon.
and Learned Gentleman at his main argument.
lie considered that it the House agreed to the pro-

mistaking the cry of the rabble for public opinion.
as the votes of the House of Commons for dicta
of infallibility.
Mr. W. Pots: explained.
Mr. Aneacnowns said, if the Gentlemen whc
sat on that aide the House were desirous that the
world should form an opinion of the abilities, judg-
ment, and temper of the present Administration
front the speech of the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. W.
Pole), they could hardly desire to place it on a bet-
ter footing. The proposition of his Hon. and
Learned Friend (Sir J. Mackintosh) deserved a
better reception than it had met with from the
House and the Noble Lord. He thought there
was no person in that House or in the country who
possesstal true English feeling, but would concur
in the censure parsed on the transaction which took
place at Dover, and would hope that all traces of
that business could be obliterated. He thought it
a pity that some better accommodation should not
be provided for those foreigners, than suffering them
to roam about the streets of London at midnight,
ignorant where to direct their steps.
Mr. MARTIN thought it was wrong to wish to
change the solemn pledge which the Noble Lord
(Castlereagh) had given, and which did him so
much hangar (that promise that he would afford
every facility for the producing her Majesty's wit-
nesses), for the inoperative clause now proposed.
Sir J. Nlscxmosn congratulated the Hon.
Gentleman (Mr. W. Pole) on the generous anima-
tion, and at the same time that undisturbed sere-
nity of mind and strict regard to the rules of Par-
liamentary order with which he had animadverted
on the observation of his Hon. and Learned Friend
(M'r. Scarlet'.) He asked whether an Administra-
tion which adopted accusation at one moment. and
disclaimed it at the next—who threatened an isidisis
dual with prosecution one day, and the next day
laid the majesty of Parliament at her feet, by im-
ploring that individual to forego her just rights.
whether that was not a vacillating Administration.
The Noble Lord had not given any reply to that
part of his argument which regarded foreign wit-
nesses, where he hod acknowledged that he did not
apprehend the ezerci.'e of the power to banish them
from this country ; but the true point to attend
to was the necessity of removing from the minds
of those witnesses that that power would be
exerted, and he- would appeal to the House if'
that argument was prised facie so absurd as to
justify its bring passed over in contemptuous
silence. It was either contempt or incapacity to
answer. for io fact no answer had been given.—
He could not pee what the proceedings at Dover
had to do with the present question, for those out-
rages the law was sufficient as it stood, and need-
ell not the aid of that House to put the machinery
in motion ; but had it not been so, it was strange
that call should be made by those who in the last
Session refused all inquiry into charges of the most
important nature, on the ground that they were
cognizable in the ordinary Courts of Justice. Look-
ingllirough our history, it would always be found
that every prerogative of the Crown was guarded.
and controlled by law, and now that it was proposed
to invest the Crown with a new prerogative, he
celled upon them, in conformity with the wisdom
of our Constitution, for a security against it. The
only way for Ministers to spew that they have no
intentiou of abusing the power which they required,
was to submit to that curb which would render it
impossible for them to abuse it.
Some conversation now ensued between Sir J.
MacetaTosu and Mr. CANNING ; the latter gen-
tleman hoisting that the former had been out of
order in extending his observations, as he was only
entitled to exploits, and not to reply at length.
The SPEAKER said that lie hail been somewhat
to blame in not reminding the Floe. and Lammed
Gentleman that his observations had extended
beyond the limits of an explanation, to winch in
strictness lie was limited.
It was then understood that the three clauses of
Sir J. Mackintosh should be disposed of its the first
instance.
Mr. CANNING said, that it appeared to him that
all the argoments had been exhausted long ago,
and that as much discussion on this measure had
taken place as was n y on the renewal of au
existing statute. It being enapitlertql as settled iii
the second reading, that the Executive Goveromeut
were to have the powers granted by that Bill, the
Hon. and Learned Gentleman interposes a clime
to prevent abuse.. which if those to whom it was
confided were capable of so abusing, they ought
to be driven with scorn and detestation from
their offices, us unfit to perform the lowest func-
tions of them. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman
(Sir J. Mackintosh) who moved the proposition, pro-
fessed to have no doubt or suspicion of the Govern-
ment, but the other Hon. and Learned Gentleman
(Mr. Scarlet') did find on the character of the
Government the necessity of the enactment. lie
would ask that Honourable and Learned Gentle-
man if he thought the House could pass it with-
out suggesting a suspicion on the Ministers ? It
was right and proper that all the ordinary misuses of
power ought to be carefully guarded against, hut
there were sortie nhuses so enormous, that the Le-
gislator of old, who would not enact a law against
parricide, had not more reason than the House
have to refuse this enactment. But, suppose
the clause adopted, what defence would the
Ministers have against such a misconstruction
as this. which world certainly take place ? It would
be said, " The &bloaters are so prone to the abuse
of power, that without that clause had passed they
would undoubtedly have sent all the Queen's wit-
nesses out of the country."—(Hear. hear.)—lie
preferred. therefore, incurring the suspicion now,
only putting in his anis', to the Hon. and Learned
Gesitlemau's testimony next year, when the caution
would be timid to have been unnecessary. He
had hoped that when the time arrived that the

•
question which had been so itinendly the topic
should hare cuese.to something like • jodiettl &robs
thai wheis no longer the direct subject of debate,
that it would have been absteined from, and not
baste been fontented by anticipating, by coaches
and pieces of debate, keeping olive by, such means
those frielingi which were peculiarly disqualifying to
the House for the task which awaited it. He there-
fore would not advert to the subject further than
tooliserse, that in adopting the Resolution to her
Majesty, in catching at the last hope which it held
out, he took his share of the blame of vacillatiou.
That Resolution did, lie thought, embody the se►ase
of the Hover, and in words too which, though per-
haps not critically expressed, yet when the senti-
ments were what lie could not but approve of, they
would hove been blameable not to have taken that
chauce for alio' ig the object which, for so many
months, had been the anxious wish of the Admi-
nistration, and the adoption of that Resolution was
a striking proof of their sincerity.—(Hear.)—lf they
bed sinned at all, it was by excess of endeavour to
avoid the inquiry, and, would to God that excess
had been tenfold if the result bad been more fortu-
nate ! So far from it being a reproach to the Ad-
ministration that they were driven to that resolu- ,
non, it would be a consolation to him which he
would not forego for any earthly advantage, that
that last hope had been tried.—(Hear, tear.)
The SPIRICER then put the question on the two
first clauses, which were negatived without a divi.
won.
On the third clause being about to be put—
Sir J. MACKINTOSH rose and stated, that his oh.
jectinu was not to the words of the Resolution, but
he objected to it on constitutional grounds. If the
House offered en address tor subject, however high
iu rank, still that personage had no responsible ad-
visers; end it followed, therefore, that the House
of Commons might be treated with the greatest in.
&gully by sin individual. If they addressed the
Crown, the King must have advisers, at►d as against
them the House had a remedy. There was not
another instance, he believed, of the House of
Commons presenting an Address of advice. It was
not therefore to the word• of the Resolution
that he objected ; he disdained 'Moult criticism,
but it was to the principle that his objection went.
The Hon. and Learned Gentleman proceeded to
answer other objections which hod been urged,
which he did with his accustomed ability, but
which we regret our limits will nut allow us to de-
tail.

Mr. CANNING thought that sanguine as the
How. and Learned Gentleman (Mr. Scarlet!) was
of the limitability of the Administration, moil the
short duration of it, he must allow they had
some reason to believe the clause proposed by
the Honourable anti Learned Gentleman (Sir
James Mackintosh) had something personal in it.
Recurring to the subject of the Resolution present-
ed to her Majesty, he said it was framed in the same
spirit which had all along actuated the Ministers,
and they were glad to seize one more chance afford-
ed by the concurrence of those respectable persons
who agreed in the same opinion.
Mr. ScAniArr assured the Right Hon. Gentle-
man he was not sanguine about the dissolution of
the Ministry, no man could be less we for he
thought they never would dissolve till the Govern-
ment was dissolved by them.—/Hear./—He had
avoided giving any opniiint on the merits of the
question which bad been introduced in that debate,
and would only say, that as far as his poor abilities
went he would see that no injustice was done. He
certainly had a strong feeling of compassion, and
above all, it feeling that the safety of the country
should not be endangered.
Mr. DENMAN wail, he had not been in the
House at the coinmencement of the debate, but he
thought it a great argument against the Alien Bill
that such a case could be quoted ; but he had prin-
cipally risen to protest against the language of the
Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Ca .. ing), who hail
spoke as if the failure of the Resolution had led to
the proceedings now adopted. These proceeding•
were, he believed, adopted, because that House
had no taste to enter into discussion with the
Crown, in a case where in their consciences they
believed the Crown WAS in the wrong. He thought
it a gross dereliction of duty in the House to prude as
they did. He would not inquire what would have
been the result if a Committee had been appointed
to inquire into the green bag charges—those docu-
ments without authority—but he was satisfied no
twenty-une Gentlemen would have volnuttered for
the work.—(Hear, hear.)
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL deprecated the as-
suming that the evidence in the green bag sea of
no authority ; and as her Majesty Wale presumed to
he innocent till trial had, so the charges should not
be stigmatised as false till facts would justify it.
Mr. J. P. GRANT supported the clause.
Sir J. MACKINTOSH explained.
After which the question was loudly called for,
and the gallery was about to be cleared for a divi-
sion, but the clause was ultimately negatived with-
out a division.
The House then resolved itself into a Committee,
the Bill went through that stage. and the Report
was ordered to be received to-morrow.
After • few words from Sir J. N6WPORT, the
third reading of the Bill was postponed.
NEW BARRACKS. . .

Mr. CA LCRArr,acise;iiTic torhat is called the
Barrack Agreement Bill, ►aid, that it turned out
to be meetly a contract for new bartackv, to he
built it, the neighbourhood of the Regent's Park.
That which claimed the attentiou of the House was
the new principle of payment. The troops, four
hundred and thirty-seven men, were accommodated
in King-street Barracks at 5,400/. per annum ; an
annuity to the seine amount was to be granted to
the builders of the new barracks. The annuity,
which was granted for thirty-one years. according to
Dr. Price's 'rubles, was worth upwards of 84,000/.
A barrack in the Regent's Perk ought to be a more
sightly one than a barrack at Glasgow or Leeds.
But in the commies there were charged at the for-
mer place for building a barrack for 378 men,
13.0044 ; at Leeds. for 348 men, '28,2501. So that
in London, for the accommodation of 100 more
men, there was to be an additional charge of nearly
60,000/. and in the latter case the builders were to
be provirjed with ground for building upon: He
had heard that the barracks were actually begun,
and that the walla were raised several feet already.
The CdANCRLLOR or the ESCHEQUIIia said, that
the contract for the annuity must of course be sub.

• •

of Goattte,

ject to the control of the House ; but
it had been thought advisable to
cent barracks for the 2d regiment of
discipline wit PO excellent, and whose geneal.eltee
racier was so unexceptionable. Now the expense.,
at which they had been quartered, very incommo-
diously, for many years melt, in. Kitili-etreet, woe

though not called for by public advertisements**
it was •disceveriedi hat the cost of building new 1,4.,
racks would be alsolt 70,0001. which was compitiaat;
to be equal to an annuity of 5,4001. The reason
why the work could he done so cheaply was, because
the contractors were great brick-makers, and would
use their own bricks. Undonbtedly if the House
thought it an unprofitable bargain, and chose rather
to pay the whole sum of that capital, it would be:
for them to have the contract revised. But it ere.
tainly was an advantageous bargain for the public'
compared with the expense which had been for m
long a time incurred for the sante object.
Sir J. NEWPORT did not like the introduction
of such a measure at the close of • Session, and oil
• Saturday ; he did not like the project of altering
the principl of payment for the erection of these •
barracks. The Right. Hon. Gentlemen had ea-
rimed for his argument two propositions, neither of
which the House had determined upon. They had
not determined that any henpecks were wanting. is
the first place; secondly, they had by no means de.
termiued no paying so much money fur tbeus. Ha
protested against any Ministers assurninglhit their
measures must, of course, be agreeable to Parlor-
ment, and proceeding without consulting Parliament.
But in any case why assume that so touch money
must be laid out ? Had it not been shewn that bar.
racks had been built in other outs of the country
for much less money ? He disliked the mode of
paying by annuity ; it was a principle generally
acted on in caner where the facility of raising money
was supposed to be defective. Let the House
observe. too, the datum of the estimate, which
was taken at the rate of temporary accons.
modation, the premises being loaded with rates,
loch rent, and ground-rent—she principle, in short,
was one of the moat lavish expenditure for the ob.
ject. It was said that the country would have the
barracks in perpetuity. Would it hart them less
so for paying less for the contract ? Government
could have credit, and might bonow money at
much lower rate to build them. His greatest ob.
jection was to Ministers having adopted the coo.
tract, and the works having been ectaally cost•
menced before Parliantirm was consulted.

The. CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER raid, that
if the House disapproved of the contract, it wa•
not too late to abandon it, and the works which
had been commenced might be applied to some
other contract.

Mr. WILIAM/3 could not see the vie of any
new barracks► when there were already plenty of
good ones vacant. He must oppose the grunt, and
he thought the House ought to do the same► con-
sidering the distre►ses of the times► sud the flout+
cis' difficulties of the country.

Mr. Ewa& disagreed entirely with those who
thought new barracks necessary. He was against
the general principle of fortifying the country with
barracks in every part of it to overawe the tWop:e.
Let the House think of the consequences which
would result, if the numerous piles of barrack■
should ever be turned into means of attack against
the people. He expressed his earliest wish that the
country might be kept flour hurrying towards a
military despotism, as appeared to hint to be the
case at present.

Lord PALINERSToN thought there could be no
ground of complaint on the score of expense, as
the barracks would 'July cost the same sum which
list been hitherto paid for very inconvenient ocean.
modatiolis, and the barracks would be the property
of the country after the annuity was psi(' out.
Neither could there be any objection in a constitu-
tional point of view, as the plan did not contemplate
the addition. of a ►ingle soldier to the force gene-
rally kept in and about London.
Mr. GORDuN asked, if it was not possible that
they had been paying too much? What was there
in 5,4001., a year, to make that the precise sum that
ought to be paid, neither more nor less? The
House had already voted 85,0001. fur barrack ex-
penses this year. There was somedmig suspicious
in a ineasere brought in sin a Saturday. at the close
of a Session. under a commission too, wheu there
was no necessity for the presence of 40 Members.
He objected to the separation of the military from
intercourse with the community by barracks. It
was not the system of our ancestors, who always bad
objected to it. He hoped Ministers would re-con-
sider the question, as they hail done a similar one
iu 1812, and revoke the contract.
Lord BINNING defended the contract. Barracks
could not be built in London as cheap as at Glas-
gow by one-half.
_ _ .

Mr. W. SMITH did not believe that there was any
disposition to render the Government military by
constructing barracks, but barrack building had
that tendency. Some years ago at Brussels the
military committed a number of wauton and atro-
cious murders. The English newspapers were
allowed to lie on the coffee-house tables fun of
severe comments upon them, because the Govern-
ment felt that they had force tannish in the citadel
to overawe the people.
Sir W. DE CRISPIOMIC said, that since 1793
between eight mud ten millions had been spent iu
building barracks.
Mr. WiLson did not approve of itch an expense
io a time of perfect peace.
Mr. MAIBERLY said, that there were barracks
empty at Croydon sod Woolwich enough for many
more troops than those in question. If DO OWre else
would divide the H•iuse, be would do it himself.
The House divided—

THE QVEEN'S TRIAL.

The day has at length been appointed by the
house of Lords for the commencement of the
QUEEN'S trial—for the commencement of that. great
and solemn proceeding to which even foreign na-
tions look with deep interest or vulgar curiosity.
but which excites in this country an awful and im-
pressive sensation of mingled astonishment and op.
prehension. The day appointed is Thursday. the
17th of August, on which day Lord LIVERPOOL
intimated his intention of moving the secood read-
ing of the Bill for degrading the QUEEN, and For
dissolving the marriage subsisting between her MA.
Jure mad her illustrious Consort. The Nnbie
Earl alluded to an apparent inconsistency in the
conduct of the Queen's law officers, who had, when
the subject was first submitted to the spew of Par-
liament, desired that a delay should be interposed .
of not less than eight or ten weeks, to enable her
MAJESTY to procure witnesses to refute, the charges
alleged ;against her. yet they now demand earnestly
and emphatically that not a moment should if poi.
sible be permitted to elapse before art opporto.
tiny was granted to her MAJESTY to remove the
weight of imputation which has been thrown upon
her character. Lord LtezoeooL, however, anis.
factorily refuted the charge of inconsistency almost
as soon as uttered, for he admitted that the cir-
cumstances of the case might have altered very
considerably, and have fully justified the Qutem's
Counsel in pursuing the course which they Mid
adopted. Lord LIVERPOOL felt very strongly
! the force of her MAJESTY'S appeal for alt Moue-
(hate trial. and how impossible it • was for the
Ministers of the Crown not to seem at least to ac-
cede to it. They must of course be prepared to
enter upon the question at owe—they cannot
.he
Oaken by surprise, and they have this decided art-
isane over the QUEEN, that they an& their secret
Committee alone know all the sterols uF the green
bor. sod consequently they can regulate their
Proceedings in accordance, tint only with this iaer-
feet knowledge, but with their own eonsenience,
white the QUEEN is not only unacquainted with
the whole body of criminality imputed to her, sod
the tomes and depositions WV* several aren't'',
but her MAJESTY 1. woolly imapprised of what
particular sod especial circumstances of time and
place will be selected loy her autegoorsts, aa the
foundation of their charge agents' her. It is -not.
however, very difficult to iserceive that notwith-
standing there advantagte, the 11/ioisters 9( the
CtOwn would vithlingly posttigbe to g Mill
later day the commeneement of the premed-
lugs, and that they were not sorry to discover
in the eecemary absence of the Judges upoo the
several circuits, an unanswerable excuse for deity-
Mg the proceediugs evert until thi 17th 9/ test
month. This was the only atepamont 04099 d try
