wbuld not use if he were to write the Letter
over agoin; but as he clearly had nor acted from
improper motives, there was not sufficient ground
fur the Motion which had been made.

lord HENRY ,PETTY observed, that Morrison
had been severely punished, without having been
heard in his d,ferce, and asked, if they passed to
the Order of the Day, whether they, had any secu-
rity that Morrison, and many others, might not be
bubjeeted to rutlishmeht by the Decrees and
dates of the Lord Advoc.te, secretly recorded, and
to be acted upon hereafter ?.

Lord, Durmo defended- the Lord Adrccate, as
having only used a wholesome exercise of authority.
Sir 3. NEWPORT was of a different opinion.
Both in Ireland and Scotland-, and all-places distant
from the seat of Government, the Great Officers of
Slate were apt to forget the law, and abuse their
power ; and therefore it was the duty of that 1-louse
to exercise the most vigilant superi:itendance over
them.

Colonel FEREKER- defended the proceeding,
and maintained, "that if the stria Letter of the Law
had not been exceeded in Ireland, that Country
would not now be a part of the present Eropiie.- If
those who exercised necessary severities in Ireland
had been called to account, instead of being pro.
teaed by Indemnity Bills, the Country would have.
been ruined. •

Mr. FOX said, the Learned Lord bad made a
manly defence, but, at the .same time, had called
fora decision upon that question, which was now
attempted to be got rid of.by the Order of the Dry.
Wit)) respeEt to the case of Morrison, he asked,
whether it was a case deserving punishment, that
a man should prevent his servant from atrcrauog
Volunteer Corps ? And no case of urgencY had been
made out, as it merely appeared that the man
wished to attend on this particular' day specified,
but that it was not absolutely necessary he should
attend. If Mr. Morrison, however, ,was guilty,
how much more guilty was the British Legislature,
which allowed. all the Subjeas of Great Britain to
aa in the same way that Morrison had done ?
mar, besides, ought to have been heard before ire
was punished. He next came to the recomtnenoe-
tion of the Lord Advocate, that no person- should
hold any communication with Morrison; and that
in case an Enemy landed, he should he imprisoned.
It might be said, that Morrison had not been im—
prisoned or would not be imprisoned; but was pub-
lishing such a threat no ,punishment ? If the Lord
Advozate could do this, he might imprison, in the
same way, the greatest men in Scotland ; but he
would not do this, for obvious reasons; and
therefore it was incumbent upon Parliament to take
up the cause of the w•eale,avinst the strong. The
urgency was so little proved,' that it appeared there
would have been, time to write to London cOn-
cerning the arrest, if it was considered necessary.—
It had been said, that 'the threat of. the Lord Ad.
vacate, Oat he would do all he could to prevent
Morrison from obtaining compensation, in case
his property should be destroyed by the enemy,
amounted to nothing, as he could do nothing ;
the law would take its course. If it was so, a fu-
tile threat was added to the atrocity of the case. It
appeared that the Learned Lord, notwithstanding
the multiplicity of his avocations, had some leisure
upon his hands ; he might as well have employed a
pare of that leisure it) revising his former deter-
minatioh, and making atonement to this injured
.party. He thought it did not look well for the Learn
ed Lord, to rest,his defence upon charaaer ; it. was
seidOm in any: case the, best mode 'of defence. It
was sqid
.that the words used' in the Letter merely
arose ftom zeal-and warmth ; but it
.was not their
business to- accept of, such aneexcuse. After some
further observationtocondemning the condo& of time
Lord Advocate., he, concluded by calling upon the
House to_apply, a sofficient remedy to the evil, and
DOE to forgev that it_was their first duty, tu protea
the weak, against the strong. .
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in
a speech of some lengthocontended that no case had
been made out which warranted a Parliamentary in_
terferenee. He was free to admit, that he some points
of view things- had been said which, it were rather
to be wished 'had not been said-, and which there
was fair ground for assuming would not be said
again. But were he driVen to the option of deciding
between a -complete negative to the proposition
urged in the discusSion, and according An affirrne.
tive thereto, -he should, as the latter was supported
by no conatisive argument, decide in the former
alternmive. Tfitre:was nothing which *called for
the severity -of Parliamentary censure; or that
should degrade a •Magistrate vested with impor_
tart fun&ions; who had for a leoletloof time ad_
ministered those faithfully and zealously,:end whose
services neither policy or necessity .would justify
their dispensing with. He would- appeal to, any
man, whether his feeling's now, being appriz,ed.of
all the cireomstances of the case, were t•he same as
when the investigation was commenced ? The Lord
Advocate aded upon the representation-of the She-
riff, whose office in Scotland was very different from
what it was in this Country; the faaa tieing taken
on the authority of that Officer, 'the fault in that
Teeped; if any, rested. not with theoLord Advo-
cate, who at-led tinder considerations of incum-
bent duty with a reference to the:public safety - and
it should be considered, the very different powers
with which -the King's Advocate in Scotland was
vested, frorn'those of His I\Njestyls Attornes", Gene.
'al in England. In the former he was an efficient
MAgist rate in every county in that part of the United
KitmOom, and at the same time the then cireum. •

THEATRICAL FRACAS.—Covent Garden Green.
Room was, on Thursday night, the scene of a pu.
gilistic contest, which excited great terrors among
the followers of THESyn. A dispute arose upon
the comparative comforts of a low aaur and a hack-
ney writer. A celebrated singer was in favour of
the aaor's condition. A comic performer, who was
formerly in the other cApacity, thought a'refiraion
was cast on him on that account, and. gave the
singer the lie. The latter, thinking that Christian
patience could not be expeaed from him, answered
with a blow, and would probably have given his
adversary a good drubbing,. if the surroUnders had
not interfered. It should be-observed, that the
singer is remarkable for his gentlemanly manners,
and, that his adversary has no such reputation. •
A Dancer at the Opera House,' it is said, has
made heavy complaints on the necessity of being on
the'Stage for a quarter of an hour at once, alledging
that in Paris he was never more than eight minutes.
We have little doubt, however, that he.taftry well,
paid for the time he is so good as to dignie tan
English audience.
