?Jr. SecretaryYO#KE rose, pursuant to ill nn:
rice be **given,' to;inOve to continue .ttito Aas,
the bne.for suspending,she HabriaS Corpus, and ile
other for suppressing ttebellicip in Ireland, It was
with considerable pain, he said;" that he felt the
necessity in the present Sessions of proposing to
continue those Aets, which necessarily tended in a
certain degree to abridge the liherty of the sullen
but the circumstances 'of the times rendered such
measures absolutely 'necessary. It was the mil.
fortune of the times in which we wereolestined to
live, that we were not permitted to enjoy our lives,
our: liberties, or our 'possessions, without -being
daily called upon.to sactifice some part of ()appro.
perty in order.to preser'Ve the remainder, to 'saeri.
five the best blood of the' Country in the support
of the contest in which we were eogaged, and so
abridge our liberties 'in order to preserve the exist,
enee ollibery itself. Xhis, however, was no more
than our ancestors were compelled to do, with this
difference, that 'With them the necessity occurred
.but seldom, ‘'v.hiteas at the present period it re.
curred frequently... The Aas which it was pro.
posed to continue, passed towards the conclusion
.of
last Session, in consequence of a communication
froM His 'Majesty, that.an InsUrredion had broken
'out in the city of Dublin. The House very properly
passed those MAI; without any hesitation ; when
passed, they gave confidence to the loyal inhabi.
tants of Ireland, and enabled them to suppress the
Rebellion with celerity. The particular circum-
stances which gave rise to and accompanied-that most
unhappy transaction, had now been developed byithe!
trials of several of the leaders and their adherents, be.,
'foreihe ordinary Courts of Judicature, and according
to the ordinary forms of law.. The proceedings had
been- publisissd, and he believed he might venture to
refer the House to these proeeclings for informa-
tion whereon to found their judgment as to the sea.
title and extent of the Conspiracy. Exclusive of;
the information contained in these trials, His Ma.
jesty's Government were in possession of other
knowledge upon the suhjeut, which it would not be
proper in him to state., lie might however be per-
mitted to 'state, that notwithstanding the declara-
tion of one of them, be had every reason to believe
that the Leaders of that Insurtedion were conneeled
with persons residing in" France: and those persons,
-traitors, immediately connected with' the French
Government, if the Conspirators were 'not imme.
diately connected with it themselves. It was 'also
clear 'thst some of. those who were in France, came
'over to Iceland for the purpose of exciting Rebel.
lion, and that they' calculated upon the renewal of:
the War, as the Means of renewing Rebellioh. It
was also clear that the great object of the French
Goiernment was to foster and increase Treason and
Rebellion in Ireland, with a view of distrading
and dividing the British Empirewand finally leading
to the `subversion of the Country. W.lll respect' to
the events of the 23tl of July, the details were he.
fsire the Public, Old it was not necessary to enlarge
upon them. He would only say, that. putting the
history of the traritiadion together; there never ex-
isted a Treason motefoul, an.losurreelion more un-
provoked, Leaders more contemptible,
tions mote atrocious, or crimes More horrible.--.
What followed was extremely well known nsostof
the ,Leaders had been brought to justice" before the
ordinary triliunals; which these 'miscreants wished
to "put an end to, to destroy, and
,extertni6te,
as evidently appeared by their harrifsle asiassina-
'Hun of-One of the brlghtest, ornaments of those Tri.
'burials. In mentioning this itibjeet, 'lie hoped his
Right Hart. Friend (the Cumstaitt•Lott ,Of rite Ex-
CStriQtrelt) would soon have, it in command ftioin
1-14 Majesty to lay the situatioo• of the Fatuity Of,
llte Noble Lord to whom be had alluded (Kt t.wmt.
Dett),before the House.., Referring to this sulsjett,
he trusted there would be -no objection to renew
those Measures which gave so much satisfaetien at,
the time, and particularly so, ,as 'in their execution
there was only one solitary instance ,ofatty one being
tried brMartial Law. He thought it was untieces.
sary to;go at length into the sulijed ; he calk(' for
extraordinary measures, because they were, demanded
byextradrdinary eircumstances,particulady consider-
ing the state of rreldhi after experiencing stormy and
tempests, and knowing the.designs of France. The
British EMpire, single-handed., was more than a
march for France, and therefote it was the object of
that Power- to divide ottr.ressturces by her machina.
(ions in Ireland. He was persuaded it' was the with
of the House to adopt every necessary- measure
against both- our Foreign and Domestic Enemies.---
With reSpeet to 'the latter, :lie was happy to say
there were but few remaining in- 'Great Britain ;
he regretted- that there were 'more-In Ireland, but
he believed they were not sir numerous as helots!.
Be their numbers, however, what they might, he
was too well 'acquainted h,itli the House to suppOse
that they would ever compromise with Treason,
or that they would suffer those to arm themselves
with the armour of the law, whilst they were secret.
ly attacking us with the weapons of assassination.He ebncluded by mhving, for leave to bring in-a.
Bill to continue the Habeas Corpus Suspension Aft
in Ireland.

HUTCHINSON said, be took this oppor.
tunitrof expressing his entire apprOhation of the
humanity,. the troyeiate and 'firm conduCt of the
Irish Gavernment during, the. late Rebellion. He
cUmptained of hiChaving been charged at that period
in the Irish Piii4ers,,. with throwing obstacicslin the
way of Government, aca crisis when the support
of every one was demAnded., •He lamented much
that Flis Majesty's Miniuer . should come .down
tp propose the continuance of such rheasures; but as
they had stated the necessity of them, he would
give, the proposition his support. As lung, how.
evere. as Ministers• refrained from bringing fur.,
ward the state of Ireland from day to day, frotn
week to week, from Mouth to month, and from
year to year, until some system wed for Med vith
resped to that Country, he should not think that
they had done their duty to their Country. He Aid
not know what was meant by present circumstances,
but if it mieaw. thie ppsrponetnent of the question
respetting the state of treland until after the War,
he hoped thd ougnanimity of the I louse ikouiti
fuse.to comply with such a proposition. The War
in which we were engaged would probably end in
the ruin of one'Cuuntry or the other, and would they

not avail themselves of every part of our strength to
artnseort the contest ?
qeeerai LOFt'Uts said a few words in appeesba_
tioCOf the Notion.
Mr. 11 11ORN rose to give his assent to the
Motion before the House, because under the circum-
stances of the times, he conceived it necessary to
arm the Government with sufficient sowers to check
the designs. of. ..the.adisaffe he..maanct ..in
which Ministers lied used the power which was en-
' trusted in their hands last Session, proved that
they were worthy of the confitienCe which had been
reposed in them ; 'he therefore could'see no objec-
tion to the renewal of those powers. He was sure,
• that if Gentler:fen would recoiled the manner in
which the Rebellion broke out, and 'the circum.
stances which attended it, they would agree with
him in praising the mildness and moderation which
had been manifested by Government ; their objeift
seemed to be to bury. in oblivion all the transaftiohs
of the former Rebellion, and bring baclethe People
to a sense of their:duty by conciliation." *Yet the,
very time that Government was pursuing ibis sys-
tem, was laid hold of by Traitors for the. purpose of
renewing the Rebellion. He had always entertained
one uniform opinion respecting the system adopted
by this Country towards Ireland ; but still he
should consider all attempts to introduce a discussion
at present upon *that great question, which had been.
alluded to, as pregnant with the most dangerous
consequences; ahough at the same time he was con.
vinced Of. the ,necessity of the adoption of some mea.
sures respeding that Country.
Lord TEMPLE said he should certainly vote for
the Motion, as he should for the Bill when it was
brought in. He supported it because he was con-
vinced of the necessity of the measure, and becabse.
the Right Hon, Gentleman had ass.-rted, that the
spirit of Rebellion still existed. With regard to.
what had fallen, from the Hon. Gentleman who spoke
last, who seemed to: think this was not a proper
time to discussunyquestions respeding the Consti.
tution of Ireland, he begged leave to remark, 'that
it was in a-period of war, and of danger. equal to the
present.; that the At of Union was passed,
Lord ARCHIBALD HAMIL7ON said, he!
could not agree with those who thought that this
was not the time to discuss the
.State of Ireland; no
man could took at the state In which‘ the Capital of
that Country noW was and had been for some time,
and say, that some measurOought not to be SclisPted
eiredually to restore tranquillity to that Country.
The HOuse had not been told whether Ministers
.lied•anr plan to propose .for that purpose. He did
not wish to oppose any measure which Ministers
might think •necessary for 'the present security of
Ireland ; on the• contrary, he wished that all persons
should unite to streogthen Government, He, how-
ever, could not think that letting matters go on in
the present train could be produdive of any good
consequenees.—liefore he sat down; he. wished to
ask Ministess, whether they had any measure in
contemplation for the purpose Of of edually restoring
tranquillity to Ireland.?'
Mr. BURROUGHS desiratoknow which of the
Bills the question,before the House related to:
The SPEAKER stated, that the question' was
upon the Habeas Crirpus Suspension Bill.
111 r. BURROUGHS said, he certainty should give
his vote for the continuance of that Bill; but with
rregard to the- other Bill for the Suppression of Re-
bellion,
_he belied that some time.,wotild be given
before it was brought forwerd. He certainly did •
mast highly disapprove of the System of Go.verni-
ment that was formerly adoptatt.iiclteland, but at
the same tiMe he was firmly convinced, that a better
G tvertunent than the present Government of Ire.
land never did exist. Ifit should unfortunately
appear that the other. Bill was .necessary for the se-
curity. of Ireland, still he saw no objedion' to its
being deferred to a• more advanced period of the
Session. One' of /the strongest-reasons which in.
''cloud him to think' so favou'rabl'y• of the present
.Government of,lretend, was,. because they did not
use, the power which was entrusted to them, and
that they tried, the prisoners before the' ordinary
Tribunals of the Country, and not by Courts
tial. . His'greatwish'was, that conciliatory me,ins
shnuld be tried, but at the same" time "the People
.should know.that Parliament was disposed to invest
Government with the most AmAe. power, if unfor-
tunately it should be necessary.
Lord CASTLEREAGH saidi hewai inclined 'to
hope that upon: eoesideration, the Hon.. Gcnt!einan
who spoke last would not oppose the other Bill of
which his Right
„Hop. 'friend had given notice.
It by no means followed that because Ministers did
not use the power which was placed in their haris,
that therefore tha'r pdwer was not necessary.', No•
thing, in•his opittion, .could (10 ,the. Ministers more
credit-than that they had tried-the.Prisoneri- by the
old Laws, and before 'the establiihed•Tribunafs' of
the Country but it
.was perhaps' the power which
thtiy possessed Which enabled, them, to. display that
moderation. lie had-always boen of opinion 'that
there was a great body of loyalty in Trtiandr and
he was equally sure•that.thet .body had received 41
great augmentation • since the Rebellion in t 795.
I his circumstance did amake it wise and prudent in
MiniSiers t 4 haVilicourse tTithe—iainary Cirurts of
Justice, because there was then no system ofTerror
prevailing in Ireland
,to prevent the administration
of justice.' 'But this was only aistrongetinduce.
mene to the House. to trust persons with Powet who
had shewn that they were not inclined to abuse. it.
It was Always wise in Government aoadopt 'a pre-
ventive system rather than to wait till the evil
happened, and. he was firmly convinced that the
energy which was displayed by Parliament last
'Session, was the cause *of the Rebellion being, So
speedily pits down. Whatever remains of Rebel_
Linn tfrete. was in Ireland; there Could be no doubt
but that the personl.concertted in it would anxious.
ly watch for an opportunity of again fomenting it;
and therefore it was the greatest ad of kindness
which Government could.shew to those unfortunate
people to'prevent their being again deluded to their
deatrudion. Upon all these grounds, be was in.
dined to .hope that the 'Hon.•Gentleman would not
feel himself justified in opposing the other Bill.
Leave was then given to_bring iti -the Bill.
Mr. Secretary YORKE' then 'Moved for leave so

Mr. 811 RROUGM said, he did not rise to QOM
the Bill trot, any want. of confidence either' .4 0
Government of England or Ireland,. but he lei
of no confidence which would justifk so 'pea 11
violation of the Constitution as that which war ve
proposed, without the most urgent necessityofic
would not consent to suspend the CinstitutkVfrog
any confidence in any Ministers, howeverk might
' 'admire— them. - Upon • the -former-- emetic's" whet
this Bill was passed, there was a Rebellion uaoally
existing in Ireland, or there was Parliamentary
groundlaid before the House to induce them tc
pass it ; .but that was not the case in the present
instance. • Ilthere Was now a Rebellion in Ireland,
he would not oppose the Bill ;• if it appeared that
Jurors and Witnesses could not eafely, discharge
their duties,. he would not oppose it; but that Ws
not the We at present. .He therefore could not
see any reason for passing the Bill, but atoll events
he thought it should riot be hurried in its progress,
but that it should be delayed until there was a
fuller attendance of Irish Members.
Mr. CORRY said, he would only trouble ale
Htiuse with a few words. The flOn. Gentler-0o
who spoke last had began with stating, that on all
• forrner,occasions when
.this, Bill passed, there tvas
either a Rebellion existing in Ireland, or else Oleic
was evidence laid before ?ornament to induce thent
to pass the Bill. He begged the Hon.' Gentlemee
to look back to the year jBor (when he believed
• the Hon. Gentleman tia'S not in this 4}art of the
world.) He would there find that a similar as
Was passed, not once but twice iti the same Sessions

as -to payment in Cash had been thought 14",rfal

I oyDori, DECEMBER 3, 1803.

W 1 received this morning two Ham:burgh Maill,
froth which we have extrsded the following most
MaArial articles of intelligence.
CONSTANTINOPLU, OCT. Is.—The Russian Ara-
-1
bigasadors M. ITALINsKY, has declared to the Porte,
by order of his Court, that the EMPEROR of Rut-
41A has never entertained the idea of participating
with other Powers in the partition of Europcin

Priv,

VI ENNA,' Nov. 9.—The Austrian Ambassador:
at London, Count STAHREMBERG, has sent a Cou-
rier to our Court, who arrived at Vienna on the
6th inst. It is believed here, that the subject of
his dispatches relates to Mediatory Negotiations,
at least so far, as the War between England and
France may interest the German Empire.

Yesterday Count METTERNICH Set Out with his
family for Berlin, as Austrian Envoy to lliC Prus.

sian Court.

CADIZ, OCT. 22.—The day before yesterday an
order was received here from Madrid. to fit out
several Ships of the Line. Similar orders have been
sent to Ferrol and ocher Sea-ports. It is believed
that these preparations are in consequence of the
late arrangements with France.

FIVE Millions, to be raised by Exchequer Bills,
were yesterday voted in the House of Commons in
a Committee of Waysiind Means. This sum, cope.
then with the annual Duties, which were voted at
the same time, Mr. ADDINGTON stated would be
all he should want until an advanced period of the
Session.

Some discuision afterwards took place on the
Motion of Mr. Secrelary YORKE, to continue the
A4ls for suspending the Habeas Corpus, and for the
Suppression of Rebellion In Ireland. Mr. YORKE
expressed his convittion that the Leaders of the late
Insurrettion, if not themselves immediately conneft..
ed with the French Government, were conne4led
with Irish Traitors in France, who held an imme.
diate intercourse with the Government of that
Country. The Bills were brought ib, read a first
time, and ordered to be read a second time on
Monday.

• IT is generally . understood that a converse.
Lion of some 'importance will take place on Mon-
day in the House of Commons. It is even said
that Mr. Fox means to attend and take 'an
aelive part in the Debate—lf the Conversation
is supported with that spirit of inquiry and investi-
gation which has charafterized the Proceedings of
that House for several' years past, and has raised the
Representative Body in the resped and esteem of
the Nation, we may look for sontethinvf a satin..
, fadory result. If Ministers were conscious pf
having done their duty to the utmostif their Mea-
sures were direaed by sound wisdom and enlight.
coed policy, they would court discussion, not shun
it by little petty arts of conciliation—by shaking
hands and bowing and nodding to Men of all Par_
ties indiscriminately, devices to curry favour, More
becoming the Master of the Ceremonies at a Sub.
scription Ball, than the Minister of a Great Em.
Aire at a Crisis pregnant with its Fate.
It has been the fortune of the present Ministers
never to have had serious or weighty Opposition to
encounter, and hence the Public Business has been
transa4fed in Parliament as matters' of conrse. The
state of Parties likewise has been highly favourable
to them—Mr. Pt re and many of his personal Friends
threw their weight into the Scale of Administra.
tion, while the present Ministers pursued the prin.
ciples upon which they set out, and which they had
uniformly professed, and while their incapacity and
imbecility in,the condua of the Affairs of the Na..
tion were still unknown and unexposed. ,The Old
Opposition gave their support, as a Body, upon the
ground Gf their preferring Mr. ADDINGTON to Mr.
PITT, and that their support of the.former would
lessen the chance of the latter's return to Power;
while certain Members of that Body, more just-
ly estimating the Minister's real charader than
others, saw a door opened for their creeping into
place, which had been the principal stimulus to their
political exertions for a long period of years.—
.Those who recommended themselves by threats
or by fawning, have completely succeeded—while
those who took a middle course, have only brought
themselves into a very awkward prcdicamenr. They
have gone too far to recur to Opposition, and not
fat. enough to get into place.
While this game has been playing, however, the
situation of the Country has become most truly
alarming to every man who bestows a thought upon
the subjed. Such discUssions we hope will 'soon be
brought on as will place things in a more satisfaaory
light before the Public. If the measures of Mini.
sters have been the wisest, and the most advanta-
geous to the Coentry in every instance which it was
possible to pursue, it is fit the Country should as-
certain this consolatory filet, through other channels
than tht prostituted pens of venal Journalists, who
are in the established habit of praising those that
pay them best. If the prosecution of the war since
its commencement has been vigorous, judicious and
proper-..if the condua of Ministers with respeCt to

'dcfence 1

eltir means `0; pas beitii4lroMpt and
if the 'representations that have been Made of the
state of the Finances are accurate and just, and the
hopes which they. have to hold Out on this..sobjea
are well founded—if the public expenaiture has been
direded by Virtue., tvisdom and economy-a7if their
condui9 towards Spain has been politic and consistent
with the honour and interest of the Country—these
surely are all points that it *ls material to have
examined and established on the basis of truth and
convilion, and not , left to the broad assertion of
venal and cortupted pens, which must always be
received by 'the people, from the channel through
which it comes, with doubt and distiust. If these
fa& can be affirmatively established in favour of
His Majesty's Ministers, we.shall rejoice that the
situation of the Country is so much better_than peo-
ple in general at present suppose it to be. But if,
on the other hand, it shall be found that Ministers
are faulty in every one of the particulars enumerated,
is it not time that the Representatives of the Na-
tion should throw themselves between the inca-
pacity of those Ministers and the Country, and
rescue the latter from the critical and perilous
state in which we fear, upon a close examination,
it will be found to be ?
