LONDON, TUESDAY, JAN. 26, 1858.

It is important that wo should bear in mind a

the present moment the inestimable value of the
rights accorded to aliens by our constitution.
Those rights are not by any moans matter of mere
vague conjecture. They have long since been
ascertained. They have been clearly and expli-
citly defined by our jurisconsults. In speaking of
those rights we are not talking of what is in any
single particular darkened by uncertainty. The
rights of aliens are as distinct and absolute as the
rights of Free Born Englishmen—though these
latter are not, of course, in any way so restricted
or conditional. It being understood always that
the rights of aliens signified no other than the
rights of alien-friends—for, as BLACKSTONE sen-
tentiously and deliberately observes, " Alien
enemies have no rights, no privileges.". It has
been declared by the same high authority,—
" Great tenderness is shown by our laws, not
only to foreigners in distress, but with regard
also to the admission of strangers who come spon-
taneously." And it has been remarked yet
further, and yet more emphatically, that "so long
as their nation continues at peace with ours, and
they themselves behave peaceably," they are under
the immediate protection of the Crown : with this
tio invariably, in enhancement
of ser
theva Rnyhary
prerogative—namely,eer that they
reservation,
(aliens, meaning alien-friends) are liable at any
moment to be sent oat of the United Kingdom
whenever it may be deemed expedient by the
Government.
