Lord hitt.Toa rose to submit a motion to the
House. au the importance of whirls he thought but
one feeling could be entertained. Some time since
he hod heels assaulted by the military in the streets.
but at that occasion he hail sabitaitted no motion to
the. Hooey; from the assurance then given by the
Noble Lord opposite, that measures should in fu-
ture he adopted to prevent the recurrence of suds
citcummance. He did not then expect. that,
its another bkisight, lie should be compelled to
make similar complaint—not indeed a any per-
sonal iiipoy sustained by himself, but of the em-
ployment of military force, interrupting the coin-
munieutions of the city, diminishing the conveni-
ence, and endangering the safety of British citi-
zens. Tlw anemia complaint was brought at the
instance of a Noble Fad (Essex) who had been iii
company with !inn on the former occasion. and
who Ical now enircreti a sionslar injury. 41. A num-

were stationed its some streets of the metropolis.
I did not see thrill in, self, but I understand that
they !waded P.lll-steal. At the corner of that
street my Noble Frieorl's carnage was stopped by
some of the Guards; mid when he asked the reason
ot such an Jason ; they answered, that they acted
by the nrilcri of their officroi. My N 'dole Friend
asked where the cominatithog racer was ? They
replied, at (7nrltor. flume. Ile then ist•peired, whe-

gistrate, and not a Mtlitary Commander—( Loud

laws by which our liberties are protected—=and that

ters tu.sy proceed. If the country should Iwconie
accustomed to military parade and military iister-
ference, it will be difficult to recur to our original
state; but the danger is much snore serious if we,
whose understatishisgs are constantly open to the
ex: union of every event, should stiffer our minds
to become used to this exercise of power, which it
suhreisive of our Itherties, and contrary to the taus
of tale country. Hear, hetsr.)—The Noble Lord

they every where witio.ssed a ridiculous display of

ceedings manifested symptoms of a growing mill-
Mry spirit. which it was their duty to suppress, and
it ace on that ground that he called on the Noble
Lord to redrew the ',ledge which he gave to the
House 043 a former occasion.

Lord CAItTLIIIEAGH replied, that the Noble
Lords opposite seemed anxiously to search far proofs
to establish at theory they had lately formed, of an
intention to introduce a military government ludo
this country ; but their proofs were, fortunately. ex-
tremely weak. It seem, d that an assemblage of
carriages wanted regulation, 61111 the appearance of
some soldiers, under the c ttttt morel of their offices*,
has excited the fears of the two Noble Lords oppo-
site. Their high-totted Iseissibility fur the antigen
to which the Coustitutiou was exposed front such

Mr. Poasortar said, that the great question to

receive their orders from the civil authutity or not,
and what were those orders ? lle W 24 not going to
