HOUSE OF PEEkS,

MONDAY, MARCH 23.

1.111: LORD CHANCELLOR did not come down to the
House till nearly half past four o'clock.
After Prayers were read, and some private business
di.q)osed ot;

Mr. QUARME, Deputy Usher of the Black
Rod; appeared at the Bar, and acquainted the
House that in obedience to their Lordships' com-
mands, Messrs. Brown and Glassington, the
primer and Publisher of the Morning Herald,
were in attendance, and waited their Lordships'
pleasure.
They were then ordered to appear at the Bar,
when, in answer to the usual questions put to them
by the Loan CITAxc ELLOR, they 4eknowledged
that they were the persons.whose names appeared
as Printer and Publisher of the Morning Herald
Paper.
Lord WAt.sII4GFiAM then moved the Order for
the exclusion of Strahgers, which was necessarily
enforced.

• After nearly half an hotir's deliberation, the
Printer and Publisher above mentioned, were cal-
led in to hear their Lordships' decision,- which,
as we could collel, was, • that .they be repri-
I/landed which `was, accordingly done, and dis-
eharticd, upon paying their Fees.
After this business was disposed of, the lower
part of ,the House was opened, as usual, f6r the
admission of Strangers.
On our it-entering the House, we found
The Earl of RADNOR on his legs, who ap-
peared to us to argue for the • necessity of com-
plying with the Orders 'of the House, particular-
ly with respeet to the passing of Bills ; respeding
which he seemed to say that the• Orders, in a
variety of instances, had not been complied with.
He concluded by moving, " That certain pro
ceedings in reference to the 26th Order of the
House should take place, and 'that 'the Clerk be
Idireaed to prepare certain accounts relative to
the same ;" which was ordered accordingly.
T'he Earl of SUFFOLK shortly addressed the
House, to the end, as we could hear, of postpon-
,ing
,his intended Motion of this day until Friday,
for which occasion he moved that their Lordships
-be summoned.—Ordered accordingly,
The Earl ye DARNLEY made a Pew observa-
tions respeaing the decision of the House on his
Motion for a Committee of Inquiry into the
State of the Nation on Friday last. On which
occasion h,e observed, though the general sense
of their Lordships seemed to be against him, yet
several Peers, and some of those connected with
the Government, seemed to be of opinion, that
some Inquiry of a specific nature ought to take
place, whether upon the Catholic or Neutral
Question, &c. he could not pretend to say,—but
he rose to acquaint the House with his intention
of bringing forward, shortly after the holidays,
a Motion for an'lnquiry of a specific nature.
Lord HOLLAND expressed his wish to learn
of Ministers, whether it was intended by them
to lay ank official information before • the House;
,otat~vq co .the Ruptut-e with Ru3sia, or respeCt-
ing the affair with Denmark and Sweden.
Lord HOBART replied,. as we undersood him,
that, he believed, he should shortly have it in.
Command from • His MAJESTY to lay certain
Paperi.before the House on those subjeds.
Lord HOLLAND, in an under-voice, asked,
before cr after the Holidays ? But immediately
went across the House, and'had a private con-
ference with the Noble SECRETARY OfTSTATE.

IRISH MAKTIAL LAW BILL.

The Order of the Day for the third reading of
this Bill being read,
A conversation of some length and rather of a
desultory nature arose, between the Earls FITZ-
WILLIAM, WESTMORLAND, PARNLEY, MO! RA,
CARNARVON, and the LORD CHANc ELLoR,WhiCh
appeared to us to relate as much to the point of
order with a leference to the proceedings which
had taken place on the Bill, by which it stood
for a third reading that day, as to the principle or
Provisions of the Bill itself. The Earls of Mo I RA
and Forz w I LetAm spoke generally against the
measure, and the mode of bringing it in.—After
a few observations between Lord HOLLAND and
the Lori; CHANCELLOR respeding the point of
order, and the proceedings which already had
taken place respeding the Bill,
Earl FITZWILLI AM again rose, and ex.:
pressed his decided disapprobation of the mea-
sure : he cohtended, that there should have been
regular information respelling the state of Ireland
-laid by Ministers before •the House, before they
could call upon their Lordships to pass the
Bill. The revival of the Att of the 39th of the
.1(1:;c: by the Parliament of Ireland, was no ode-
' rtivate reason why the United Parliament should
,• continue such revived Ad----The United Parlia.
ment should ad from the suggestions or its own
wisdom, upon proper information regularly laid
• before it. The Asa which they were then called.
upon to pass, went to unhinge' the Liberties of the'
People—r•it went to deprive the Subjed of his
most valuable Birth-right, a trial by his Peers, by
twelve of his equals, assisted by the Judges in
the administration of the Law. He contrasted
the prOceedings with resped to persons • charged
with the crime of High Treason with those
which were to obtain under the Bill in question,
in order to chew the superior advantages enjoyed
Ivy the former. The House was fully justified
in asking for information respeding the adual
state of Irelaohl—Nothing of that kind, he ob.
served, I.va's before Parliament, nor even had any
tryitt:; been made by the Judges respeding the
admini:itration of the Law.
The Sari CLAR shout}, observed to the
effed, that there was a great deal of very im-
portant information on the subject alluded to by
the Noble Earl, regularly and officially before
the House. In justification ofwhich his Lordship
moved, tharcertain aiicial Documents then be_
Jere the ilwlsv, particularly some Extrads from
th-.: Reports by the Committee: ache Irish
t-).-,r1Loo(eo, resp;:dirig the,!'.tite cd irelioid,

the Proceedings of the Rebels, &c. He then ad-
dressed their Lordships on the general subjea, at
some length. He observed, that what they had
just heard was far from.an overstrained statement
of those melancholy truths—faels, which plainly
tended to shew that the property and loyalty of
Ireland were reduced to the degrading state of
being compelled to supplicate for the proteaion
of military power. That such was the state of
that unhappy Country, the Noble Marquis at
the head of its Government well knew ; to him,
did' the opportunity offer, he could refer for
the truth of what he had advanced. Nor in_

deed did he imagine the Noble Earl himself could
be totally ignorant of it. With respea to the
Noble Marquis, he could bear testimony, not
only to his undaunted courage, but to the hutna-
nity, nay, to the softness of his nature. He knew
his constitutional principles too well, and that
he never would so far shrink from his duty, as to
propose or superintend the execution of the mea-
sures he had done, did he not feel the necessity of
so doing. Until the legitimate Government of Ire-
land was placed beyond the power of a wild and
sanguinary Democracy, measures of this kind were
necessary. No power but the Military was, in its
present state,adequate to the proteaion of the good
and loyal part of the Irish People, By attending
to what had been read,' -their Lordships would
perceive that the Rebellion in Ireland was not
like those of former times, on principles of mis-
placed loyalty, but of the mass of the people, and
on principles opposed to every sentiment of
virtue, feeling of humanity, suggestion of reason,
in short, opposed to every thing like Religion,
or good order in the Country, concluded by the
means of domestic treachery, cold blooded murder
and cowardly assassination ! The seeds of this un-
principled and sanguinary system were town so
early as the year 1791, as would appear by the
Appendix to the Reports of the Committees,
when the Agents of the Irish Jacobinism were
busily employed in colleaing arms—lf the
vigorous and decisive measures, which had been
resorted to in consequence of the discoveries
made, had not taken place, Ireland would ere
now, be separated from the Crown of this Realm ;
and her laws and liberty,—and together with the
lives, properties, and charaaers of the good and
loyal part of her inhabitants, at the mercy of a
horde of rebellious barbarians. There was not
a fault, which Mr. Arthur O'Connor and his re-
bellious Associates had confessed, that the Irish
Government had not been in full possession of,
and he believed there was no •man hardened
enough to deny that, if the Irish Government
had adopted a less vigorous and decisive coodua,
Ireland had been lost for ever. The ads and
abominable proceedings of Treason and Rebellion
in Ireland were such, that to detail them would
but sicken and disgust. The great mass of these
he must necessarily pass over. He observed,
that when the Marquis CORNWALLIS first ar-
rived in Ireland, that country was in a most cri-
tical state ; besides the Internal Commotions,
it was threatened by Foreign Invasion from
different quarters, by the Armaments of the
Enemy at the Texel and, at Brest. The first obt-
jeft of the Noble Marquis was to concen-
trate the greater part of his Army, so as to
he able to oppoke the Enemy in any quar-
ter. To this important end his measures
were admirably well calculated, but they were
necessarily attended with great sacrifices; yet
they were produaive of the desired effea. The
Army of Ireland was in the best possible order,
and to that tßevered Charaaer the Country was
under the greatest obligation. Ile was aware
that the Rebels were not able to face His Ma-
jesty's Forces in the field ; but still the old lea-
ven of Jacobinism, the System of Democracy
which had been organized by the Irish Rebel
Direaory, was far from being suppressed. Un-
til therefore the efficient Constitutional Govern-
ment was re-established, which could only be
done by strong measures, it would be impossible
to countered those evils he had mentioned, by
the slow and technical forms of administering the
Law. Neither were these, in the present state
of Ireland, at all pra&icable. Numerous in-
stances, and of too great notoriety to be speci-
fically pointed out, obtained, of the Jurymen and
Witnesses being murdered. It was true, that in
Dublin, under the proteaion of a numerous Gar-
rison, the Courts of Law administered justice in
the ordinary course ; but what, in the case of the
avowed Rebel Theobald Wolfe Tone, who was
sentenced to death by a Military Tribunal, was the
consequence ? By the attempt to brjng him un-
der the cognizance of the civil courts, an op-
portunity was afforded to him to commit suicide,
by which the ends of justice were defeated. His
Lordship here went somewhat into detail respqt-
ing the atrocities committed by the Rebels in
different parts of the kingdom, and of the Inse-
cure state of the distressed inhabitants, in order to
evince the necessity of the continuance of Martial
Law. He particularly dwelt upon the circumstances
of the county of Limerick, in which lies his Lord-
ship's country residence. He stated that part of the
kingdom to have remained fortunately quiet du-
ring the whole progress of the Rebellion, till about
half a year since, when through the machinations
of Jacobin agitators, the People became sudden.
ly turbulent—the disorder commenced by a mur-
der perpetrated under his own roof, and upon a
confidential Servant, whose great crime, in the
eyes of his assassins, was his being (so we under-
stood his Lordship) a Native of this Country !
The murder was perpetrated with circumstances
of considerable aggravation and cruelty. The
principal Conspirator was one who had been a
Servant in his family for upwards of 3o years,
and treated by his father and himself with all
possible kindness. At the execution of the
wretches for this most inhuman murder, they
confessed their intention to have murdered
Twenty-five Persons in that quarter, in the
course of the year, as opportunity offered, and
which exploits they were to have ended by
sweeping off, himself (that 'was their phrase)
in one of his evening walks.--In reg;4rd to what
had fallen from a Noble Earl respecting the
Judges, Ile could inform him, that the.,. did
endetivoi;r to perform the Circuits, but in what

manner ? It was not long since two of them were
way-laid within to or 1 a miles of the metropolis,
and their murder only was prevented by the cir-
cumstance of the assassins omitting to corrupt
the drivers, who took the Judges a different route
from what the former expefted. In general
they were obliged to travel with a military escort.
How different was it in this peaceable and
happy Country, in which, the moment the Judges
entered an assize town, the Military with- I
drew from it ; were that the case in Ireland, the
Judges, and not the Criminals, would most pro-
bably be hanged. In the last Pilgrimage of his
Majesty's Attorney General, the fart, as it
appeared, was, that in most places, the Judges
were insulted ; the Juries, rather than be mur-
dered, committed Perjury, and the 'Witnesses
were assassinated. This statement, however lu-
dicrous it may appear in the arrangement, was
true in point of fad. Every part of Ireland
presented scenes of devastation and warfare. He
could assure their Lordships, the Gentlemen of
that Country would not solicit a Military Govern-
ment, wore they not driven to it by necessity.
When he returned to it, lie should feel the more
unhappy, after having enjoyed the blessings of
peace and quiet in this. He was constitutionally
attached to the Laws'of England, and spent some
of the best years of his life in acquiring a know.
ledge of them, and he could confidently state,
that without the measure then under conside-
ration, their benign influence could never be
imparted to Ireland ; so far from it, that with-
out measures of the kind, Ireland must be either
lost to this Country, or rendered a Theatre of
War, The measure in question would be great.
ly instrumental in rescuing the unhappy People of
Ireland from a Government of Blood. and Terror,
executed by a Savage Democracy. That there
could exist little danger and abuse on the occasion,
their Lordships would allow, when they learned,
that in genera!, the revered Character at the head of
the Government of Ireland, never suffered any of
the sentences of these Courts to be executed, until
he perused their Minutes, to which task he mostly
allotted three or four hours per day. The Noble
Earl proceeded to illustrate his positions by further
details, of the atrocities committed by the agents
of Rebellion in different parts of Ireland.—
He continued to bestow unalloyed praise on the
conduit of the Marquis CoaNwwws, and in
some instances on that of Sir JA:►lEs DUFF,
whom he described as an able and spirited officer.
In concluding, he conjured the House, as it ap.
preciated the well-being of that part of the Unit-
ed Kingdom, to which it applied, and the exist-
ence of its constitutional government, which
without such an aid must be crumbled into atoms,
by the overbearing power of a cruel and savage
Democracy, to pass the bill then under conside-
ration,

Earl FITZWILLZAM spoke shortly in explana-
tion..
Lord M01R.4 rose to make a few observations
upon the Speech of the Noble Earl who had spoken
last. In discussing the. important subjeft, he ivish.
ed to do it with the grenest temper, and in order
to do so. he thought that tfro.e‘t way would be to
draw a veil over the past, and to decide upon the
propriety or impropriety of the present measure,
from the present, situation of that Country : he
was far from denying that Ireland was not in a
completely tranquil state, but it did not appear-to
him that a period like the ' present was the best
one that could he adopted for restoring tranquil-
lity and harmony to that Country. If it was
unfortunately necessary to have recourse to
stronger measures than, those which could be
taken under the Municipal Law of the Country,
he thought the best and most constitutional way
would be, to let the Chief Governor use his own
discretion, subject to the responsibility which
belonged to such a situation. But by passing such
a Bill as this, they would, in a very great degree,
take off the responsibility. His Lordship then
proceeded to condemn, in the strongest manner,
the use of force to extort confessions, or evidence ;
it was not only unjust, but it was impolitic, for
it did not answer the purpose for which it was
used ; and as a proof of this assertion, he in-
stanced the' case alluded to by the Noble Earl
(CLARE), where a man refused to give any evi-
dence while he was suffering punishment, though
he afterwardg was prevailed upon by fair means to
give every information in his power. His Lord-
ship said, this was improperly called Martial
Law, because he considered Martial Law to, be
where, under the exigence of the moment, an in-
dividual took upon himself the exercise of that
power ; but he did not consider the species of
Law which would be exercised under this Bill,
could be called Martial Law.

Lord MULGR AVE supported the Bill : he con-
sidered the statement which they had heard from
Noble Lords in that House, a proof; not only of
the policy, but of the absolute necessity of the
measure. With respet to the last observation
which had fallen from the Noble Lord, about
Martial-Law, he thought the Noble Lord had
mixed two things which were very distind in
their nature, viz. Martial-Law and Military Ex.
ecution ; and in his view of Martial-Law, it
might, if necessary, be exercised under this Bill.

Lord HOLLAND spoke at considerable length
against the Bill. He was by no means inclined
to doubt any of the fasts stated by the Noble
Earl (CLARE), but he did not think they came
before the House in a proper way. He thought
it should have come from the Executive Govern-
ment. He agreed with the Noble Lord who
spoke last but one, in thinking that this was not
the proper way of restoring tranquillity to Ireland.
He thought measures of conciliation were much
more likely to produce that effect, than holding
oat the terrors of Martial-Law. With respett
to the use.of punishment to extraa evidence, he
never would hear it mentioned without express-
ing his abhorrence of it. It was a practice un.
known to the Law of England, and now was pro-
perly exploded throughout Europe.

Lord LIMERICK begged to join his testi-
mony to those of other Perrs, of the nteersity
of enforcing Martial Law in Ireland. His

Iretand, both from his own knowledge and from
information which Le had received, and upon
which he could place the greatest reliance, and
contended that nothing but this measure, strong
as he admitted it was, could ensure its safety.
Lord C ARLTON concurred with the Noble
Lord who spoke last, in thinking, that in the
present unfortunate situation of Ireland, it would
be in vain to hope that the :Municipal La‘i'• of the
Country was sufficient to repress that spirit of In-
surredion and Rebellion which existed. It had
been insinuated, that Persons coming from that
Country, were influenced by local prejudices and
feelings; he begged.teave to disclaim any such
feeling, and added, that if the Lords and Com-
mons of Ireland had been governed by local pre-
_indices and feelings, the Unipn would not have
taken place, for they had sacrificed much of their
individual importance, to what they considered to
be the good of their Country. His Lordship said,
that in pressing the necessity of this measufe,
he was 'influenced by the intimate knowledgel
he had of the state of that Country ; but if any
of their Lordships were inclined to doubt the re-:
presentations which had been made, he begged to
refer them to the Courts-Martial which had been
within these three months held there, and he was
sure that no man who knew the mildness and h'e.
manity of the Noble Marquis who now presided
over Ireland,would have had recourse to such strong
measures, unless the necessity of them were ob-
vious. His Lordship, having argued these points
at some length, and with great ability, concluded
with giving his assent to the continuance of
Martial Law for three months, though he could
not flatter the House with the hOes, that at
the expiration, of that time the measure would
cease to be necessary.
Lord KINNOUL, and Marquis Town:lima
spoke shortly in support of the Bill.
Lord GRENVILLE said, that by confining.
the cases and crimes subject to the cognizance of
Courts Martial, to those of Sedition and Rebel-
lion, every regard was shewn to the Courts of
Civil and Criminal Judicature; and also, that
although Ireland was rescued from the horrors of
aftual Rebellion, yet many of these disafeded
persons, might be 'said to compose the wreck of
the Rebel forces still remaining in, and dispersed
through the Country, nothing short of a measure
of this nature, calculated to overawe the Rebel., .
lious, and to ensure the prompt execution of
justice, was calculated for the circumstances ir! '
which the Country of Ireland still remained. "
Thf Ear/ of C ARNAR VQ N spoke at consi-
derable length against the Bill, charging it with
being a gross infringement of the Constitution;
that it was impolitic. to pass it as one of the first
fruits of the Union between the two Countrieg,
and considering the ordinary CoUrts of Justice
as fully competent for the trial of all offences
that might be brought before them.

Bill, as suited to the dangerous circumstances of
Ireland. He stated the various progressive Aas.
which had msed in different reigns, for the pu-
nishment of Rebellion, and denied that, by Par.,.
liament's adapting such Alts to the circum-
stances which occurred at the time,
inference was to be drawn, of a design to infringe
on the liberties of the Subjth. In return for
obedience, and the sacrifice of personal rights;
Government owed protedion ; and argued, that

Viscount SOMERTON (Archbishop of CAni E L)
defended the measure. It came recommended by

itahnedcionncbuortrhiniigosuesnetsi7:.nhtos of Members from Ire-
:He added, that h 4
t knew the existing
only ohjedion was the short period of its dut4--
lion ; and he wished, that instead of three
months, the time had been extended to a month
or two after the commencement of the next Session
of Parliament.

Lord KING thought that the num'oer of persons,
who had been tried and executed in Ireland with.
in the last three months, under Martial Law,
was an argument against, rather than for, the con.
tinuance of the Bill.

The Earl of DARNLEY defended the neces.
sity of the measure, frum what he knew and
heard of the present circumstances of Ireland.
The Earl of RADNOR said, he should re,
ludantly vote fur the Bill, but hoped that the
necessity for its 'continuance would not long

exist.
,The Marquis of DOW NSHIRE said, he only
left Ireland about three weeks age, and if those
Noble Lords, who had had no opportunity of
visiting that Country, 'had seen and known as
much as he had witnessed in his neighbourhood,
he' could not doubt but they would have 'concur-
red in the necessity of continuing the present Bill.
