HOUSE OF COMMONS, SATURDAY, Mrs I.

Mr. W Sureu Mated that few complaiuts bad been /nude
in the course of the peewit* *mien respecting Extents in
Aid. He should, however, introduce the subject next
Session, having learned that there had been some new pro-
ceerinigs iu the Court of Exchequer, which rendered it un-
ateeessa r y.
Grains! Torouvvo• presented a Petition frets Major Ro-
berts, prayiligtbat the House would take into consideration
his plan for doeipfiuiug troops with 'Notts.—Ordered to lie
on the table.
A Message from the House of lords requested the attend-
ance of the House to • cow:Jenne in the Painted gliansbee,
upon the suhket of the disagreement to the amendments of
the Alien Rill. A Committee intruded their Lordships, and
on their return Lord Wooing bit:anted the House that their
Lordships bad agreed to the objections made to life Bill.

ROYAL. MARRIAGE
Lord Casttanrafin moved for an Address of congratu-
lation to the Prince Regent on the Duke of ('smbridge's
marriage, sod for Addresses to ber Majesty and the Duke of
Cambridge—Ordered.
Mr. M. A. Tmua cave notice, that he should, early in
the nest kasion, propose a plan fur supplying the 'thema-
tic lame etTertually a ith viler. He also said it vas im in-
tention to bring in n Hill to compel the erectors of steam-
moms to consume their us n smoke—{Haar, hear.)

a

were highly miechieious whin nlisrepreeented or
misquoted. The paper tawhiels. he alluded had pre-
sumed to state, that he had, in an authoritative
lour. appealed to the !timelier. with • triumphant
anticipation of the result of such on address. Now
the tone he lissome(' was finite the reverse. mid he
could appeal to the House whether he had been on
this occasion fairly represented. or wilfully and
perversely maligned, He could confidently appeal
to the recollection of the House against the gross
misrepresentation of his conduct in the calumnious
comments that had heel' made its a Morning Paper
111411 Ills speech. Every man who beard him must
know that these comment* were gross and un-
founded. It was soot his intention to pursue this
matter further; hut he trusted the /louse would
join him in deprecating such a calomel as he hail
alluded to.—(Dear, hear.)—The comments on his
speech, he thought it right to state, were in The
rinses newspaper.
The SPEAKER said. that as no motion was made,
he could not, without the greatest delicacy, advert
to the observations just made by the Right Hon.
Gentleman. It ass due, however, to that Right
Hon. Gentleman to state, that front his full rect.!.
lection of what had passed, there was not the
slightest ground for the comments alluded to. The
Right Hon. Gentleman was folly justified in taking
the earliest op;sortanity of discherging a duty which
implicated a question of privilege.
Mr. Bite UMI AM had a perfect recollection, that
the statement alluded to was the reverse of the tone
observed by Right Hoe'. Gentleman, in delivering
hts seitritents on the Alien fhll. Ile concurred
in the great utility which resulttd from the
cation of the proceedings of the House ; but to be
useful it was necessary they should be accurate.—
Hear, hear.)—He had !outwit* reason to com-
plain of some iiiistatrinetite in the public Prints.
Not many days ago he was stated to have uttered
a recantation of what lie had previously said, re.
spelling the conduct of a great Law Officer (we
pre% the Lord Chancellor) on the Education of
the Poor Bill. Now this was the very reverse of the
fact ; fur wind he hid said on the occasion was an
affirmation. not a recantation of Ins previous oh-
servations ; and the allusion was merely to the prac-
tice of the Court, as distinguished from the cha-
racter of the indevedual.

AFFAIR% OF INDIA.
Lord Monprrit asked, whether the Right lion.
Gentleman (Mr. Canning), had received all the do-
monetary re:ative to the war in Indies ; as .11 if he hail,
at what time they would be laid before Parliament?
Mr. CANNING replied, that many of the docu-
ments had arrived, and hero printed. The most
important (a►per was the Treaty with flolkar, which
was uut yet ufT►ri, Ily under consideration.
Mr. HowArru asked, whether arrangements had
been made for gi►ing elect to the private accounts ?
Mr. CANNING answered in the affirmative.
ALIEN BILL.
Mr. TIERNEY asked what was the intention of
the Not►lr Lord (Castlereagh) with respect to the
Alien Bill

Lord CASTLEREAGH said, he should on Monday
propose to bring in a short Bill to suspend that part
of the Scotch law which had been objected to, till the
lath of March nest; and that in the ensiling Session
the several anomalous circumstances complained of,
which erudered it practicable to a denizen not only
to be naturalized by • purchase of stuck, but to
have a seat in that house, should be brought more
immediately under their consideration.
Mr. TIERNEY said he would express no opinion
one way or another on the Noble Lord's intention,
until he made the motion of which he had just given
notice.
Lord CAaTLEREAGH said, that his measure would
not go to make any permatient change in the gene-
ral chartered privileges of corporate bodies, neither
did he mean it should have any retrospective opera-
tion. The anomaly ought, however, to he remedisd
by some comprehensive measure on a future occa-
sion. At pre►ent, he only ►utant to propose a short
Bill until the 45th March. . .

An the motion of Mr. SYNGE COOPER, the ab-
stracts relative to the Irish Nlail Coach Contracts
were ordered to he printed.
Adjourned ti'.l Monday next.
