the power granted by this 13iirPc. If Ministers I
do say this, they must say that we ought to
leave it with them to determine what Govern-
ments may and what may not be plotted against;
and is this a law which ought to be imposed on a
free people ? His Lordship took occasion to ap-
peal to the opinion of all our great Statesmen
that " no country was more interested than Eng-
land in the expulsion of the Turks from Europe,"
and expressed an ardent hope that the beautiful
provinces of Greece would, be rescued " from
the arbitrary power under which' they had for
three hundred years groaned."

In the House of Lords last night the Earl of
Liverpool moved the third reading of the Alien
Bill, the necessity for which he argued on the old
grounds, and also contended that although the
Crown had the prerogative already, yet the Bill
furnished a more summary mode of putting it in
motion than was at present possessed. The Earl of
Darnley and Lord Holland opposed the Bill; the
latter particularly, on the ground that if it did
not originate in, it at least countenanced, the opi-
nion that it was intended to demonstrate the de-
sire of the Government of this country to sup-
port the views and aid the policy of the Holy
Alliance, in maintaining the despotisms of the
Continent against the struggles of-the people for
freedom and constitutional forms of government.
Lord Holland moved two clauses of the same
tenor as those moved by Mr. Scarlett in the
'House of Commons, which were successively
negatived without a division. The Bill was finally
carried after a division on the question of its
passing', in which the numbers were—Contents,
22 ; Not Contents, 6r—majority for the passing
of the Bill, 16.

' Colonel Wood's Resolutions regarding the
Laws of Settlement of the Poor stand for this
evening. There is no notice of any other busi-
ness in the Rouse of Commons, and the few Bills
now remaining will pass their last stage to-mor-
row. The House will then adjourn over for a few
days, during which the house of Lords will dis-
pose of the business of the Session, preparatory
to the prorogation of Parliament, which is ex-
pected to take place on Monday or Tuesday
next.-- (

[MORNING POST.]
In the House of 'Lords last, night the Irish
Constables Bill and the Alien Bill were discussed,
previously to their being passed by That branch
'of the Legislature. The Earl of-Liverpool sup-
ported the former, not as in • the abstract a de-
sirable measure, but as well suited to the
present state of society in Ireland, and upon
that ground entitled to their Lordships', ap-
probation. We believe most men acquainted
with the situation of the Sister Country, and
desirous of, its real . improvement, will sub-
'scribe to this opinion. The Constables' Bill is
certainly too pnlike the General Police Law of
this country to appear justifiable in the eyes of
Englishmen upon any other consideration than
necessity. , But, in truth, Ireland has hitherto
possessed the framework of almost the very
same liberal system of subordinate civil
power which we have, and the great de-
fect is, that she has either neglected or
perverted this valuable acquisition: The pe,.
culiar charm and beauty of the constitution
'of society
,in this country is the sinmitaneousind
co-operative effort which every man; as it were,
instinctively; makei to administer the laws in all
their details. The people here make their own
laws, and enforce as well as obey them. In
'lreland, on the contrary, with the same legal op-
• portunities to act similarly, it is hut too true, as
Lord Liverpool observed last night, that neither
rich nor poor have enforced or obeyed the laws
as they ought.

[MNINING HERALD.]

Yesterday evening, in the House of Lords, a
very important statement was made by the Earl
of Liverpool respecting the Orange party in Ire-
land. We conceive it be highly important, be-
cause it evinces a laudable anxiety on the part of
his Majesty's Government to 'do away those in-
vidious distinctions which have engendered such
deadly animosities among the Irish people for
more than a century past. On a question being
put by Lord Holland, respecting the pro-
cession of the Orangemen in Dublin, on the
12th instant, and the reason why it was not
prevented by the Lord Lieutenant, as had been
done by the Duke of Bedford, when he was at
the head of the Government in Ireland—the
Noble Earl gave a most candid explanation.
He said that what the Duke of Bedford
had done was to put an end to the proces-
sion as a State ceremony, by giving orders
that none of the Officers of State should take a
part in it ; and it had never since been a State ce-
remony. But no Lord Lieutenant could prevent
private individuals from taking part in such a
procession. The present Lord Lieutenant did
all he could to prevent that ceremony from taking
place on the 12th of this month ;.but the law did
not empower him to put a stop to it. Lord
Liverpool expressed his disapprobation of the
proceedings i❑ strong terms ; but he conceived it
would be a very difficult thing to frame any
Legislative measure that could put a stop to
it in future. In this we perfectly agree with'
his Lordship ; laws must be general in their
operation; and any law enacted for prohibiting
processions of ornament, would either be evaded
by the offending parties, or they would extend
to other processions altogether harmless, or per-
haps laudable in their nature. All the persons,
for instance, attending a masonic funeral, might
be subjected to pains and penalties. His Lord-
ship,' however, stated, that communications bad
lately passed between the Government of Ire-
land and the Ministers on the subject, and that
there was reason to hope that such means would
be adopted as should put a stop to such proces-
sions in,Opture, without the necessity of Legisla-
tive interference.
