We see with much pleasure that the Howe of
Comtnons last night, ou the motion of Mr.
COURTEMAY, have taken up the subject of the in-
famous libel upon that House, which is in:poet!

to a person who has lately much distinguished
himself in the higher Radical Circles, or, as they
may be styled, the- Degenerate Whigs, and the
Publisher is to appear at the Bar on Monday.
The libel is of so atrocious a nature, that we are
very much surprised to find even Sir ra.iNCIS
BLIADF.TT attempting to prevent an inquiry from
being made on the subject, and suitable pouish-
ment inflicted on the author. "It remains to he
seen (says the Morning Post of this day), whether
the Author of this inflammatory Publication will
have the manliness to avow himself, or allow his
Bookseller to fall a sacrifice." But it is hardly
possible to suppose that a man, so daring with his
pen, will sculk in obscurity, and shift the respon-
sibility 'upon the mere Publisher, if indeed the
latter is not also responsible himself for g,i%ing
circulation to so mischievous a work. 'I his is not
a mere question of Party, for even those adversaries
of Ministers, who areireal friends of the Country,
are interested in support of the popular braoch of
the Constitution, so grossly attacked in the libel,
that it the House of Commons does not support
its own privileges, it must fall into universal con-
tempt, and the consequences may be ruinous to
the very flame of our Political System.—Lord
JOllll RUSSIII.I. and Mr. D. KINNATtiII CAnle for-
ward in palliation of the Work, but the heads of
the Opposition very wisely kept aloof. These
venturous Orators were most ably answered by
Mr. BANK 23, Lord NUGP.NT, Mr. WiLiteavouck,
and Mr. WYNN, atyl the subject will undergo AU
investigation that may tend to curb the ootra-
geoass licence.Q.f the Press as well as to support
tLe dignity of Parliament.
