FOREIGN OPERA.—The revived Comic Opera of
"Il Consiglio Imprudenta," compoaed by the late
MANCEII, was performed last night. The Music
is light, elegant, and familiar, and the Composi-
tion- was applauded.--
.The Performance on the
Stage was below mediocrity.:—The last new Bal-
let cc-included with approbation ; not so the Opera.
Mr. Kemetc, we understand, is really going to
appear in Fastaff, at Covent Garden 'Theatre,
be-
fore the close ot the pret,ent season. Without
hazarding any conjectures on his general perform-
ance of the part, we may venture to say, that it
will
.hardly be possible to expect a more'acenrate
knowledge of the text in all its Scope and bear-
ings.

Earl STANHOPE peesentetr a petition Wedi pemon; in

Laid on the table:
• LIBERTY OF THE SUBJECT. , •
The Marquis of 1.4.6 sriow rose -to more the
second reading of the 13':11 for bettei Sechring the
Liberty of the Subject-;, he explained the nature
of the intasure; which had for .its object the en-
abling of Judges to grant Writs of Habias Cor-
pus during vacations, and to empower them to
examine by evidence the validity of the returns
made to them, so as to hold the party detained to
bail, or to grant him his discharge. The Bill
having received the assent of the other House of
Parliament, it came before this 'House with many
additional recommendations.

Lord ELLENEOROUGH was in favour of the ge-
neral object this measure bad in view, more effec..
tually securing the. liberty of the subject, bat
after an.experience of nearly thirty years he could
venture to say that it was not required, only a
single case having occurred ‘Vbere it would have
been of the least advantage. He. argued, that
there was no defect that needed a remedy since
the Judges now possessed the power of granting
Writs of Habeas Corpus ; and with regard to
.giving them additional power, his Lordship con-
tended that it would be invidious, and Tull aps ob-
noxious. It was conferring upon a single. Judge
what now belonged only to, the collective wisdotn
of the Bench, and in cases of impressment would
he very iaeonvenient to the public service, by de-
taining Officers from important duties abroad.
lle denied that it was any additional recononeti-
dation to the measure, in point of correctness,
that it had passed the lower House, since it often,
happened that Bills were sent up in a state de-
serving very severe reprobation.
The LORD CHANcrmi.olt also thought it right to
oppose the further progress of the Bill, which
would be peculiatly. injui ions to the impress ser-
vice. Ile contended 41sathat it was not requirea,
since the subject now possessed all the remedy
that in the nature of the case could be afforded.
it was true that this Bill Lad originated in a very
high authority, Mr. Xustice Forster, but. his opi-
nion was given in the year_ 1757, and since
,that
lime no case had occurred. that shewed that the
measure was needed.. His Lordship stated 'the•
practice of the Caurt of Chancery, to slim that
is the•cases of lunatics, As well as in those of
impressment, all the remedy that could be afforded
was ii'ow given, and that if the Bill were passed,
its provisions would he subject to great misappli-
cation, and the source of much oppression.
Lord GRENVILLE -was_ Plot at all satisfied with
the argunients used against the Bill. The whole,
that had been urged. on the other side, went to
prove that only one case had yet occurred requir-
ing such a remedy, but it was the duty Of the
Eionseto prevent the evil before it .existed, and to.
provide even for possible cases. Ail that was
necessary, however, had been-admitted by Lord
Eflenboiough. in the confession that. one instance
had come within his knowledge. The Act of 3lst
Charles 11. was not -sallicieot,. and the present
measure was an attempt to-ecinler it more perfect:
He quoted the opinion of Mr. Justice Fnrster upon.
the subject,
.to prove the injury that might in In,
tare be done to individuals who, from the Judges
not having power to investigate the truth of the
itliegations, in the return to. the writ, during
.the
vacation might be sent out of the country, 80.
perhaps be deprived of their lives : lie paid ailigh
conin!iment to the learning of that eminent legal
authority, and argued, that in propr tip') as the
impress service was odious and oppressive, ought
to be the rigid care with which it Was executed.;
the evil could not be totally remedied until the
system was totally relinquished. With regard to
lunatics, he impressed upon the flouse the cruelty
of allowing returns to remain nninvestigated until
the end of a long vacation, by which the very ma-
lady might he increased, or even occasioned. Up-
on the whole, lie gave the Bill his firm support,
and hoped it would be allowed to• pass into a
Committee. • -
Lord STANHOPE reminded the Noble Lords op-

posite, that by the 12tli section of- the Habeas
Corpus, Act, if any subject were illegally sail,
beyond seas, the parties concerned incurred all
the penalties of a premunire.
The MarquiS of- LANsnowN having shortly re-
plied, the question was put, that the bill be now
read a second time, which was negatived.
Lord ELLEI:BoaotYcn moved that it. be read a
second time con this day six months; which was
carried without a division.--Adjourned.
