ALLEGED BREACH OF PRIVILEGE.

r..Wy NNE called the attention of the House
ttr another breach of privilege, Which he con-
ceived to have been committed by a Morning Pa-
per called Tleg New, Times. I'he. offence of which
he complained was eont'ained in a letter published
yesterday in that Paper. The letter attacked the
speech of an Honourable and Learned Gentle-
-111411 (Sir James Mackinttish) on 'the Foreign
Enlistment .I.3ill,:and asked whether Sir James
!rid so warmly in favour of. liherty..,..in
10:8-,And.whether .he had not then, been 'wit.
hog, and long afterwards, to submit to the real
tyrant Buonaparte ? It then added the following
paragraph :—" And yet, it I am to believe the
Newspaper Reptn%s, those shameless and impudent
, accusations, trout the old vindicator of Gallic fraud
and tyranny, were 'received in a British House of
-Cothmons with. applause ?"' He thought he had
stated enough to. prove that a gross hreach of pri-
vilege had been committed, and moved that A.
Mitchell, the Printer of The New Times, be or-
dered to attend at the Bar of the House to-morrow.
Sir S. MACKINTOSH considered all attacks wide
upon him with the most perect indifference. As
far as he was concerned, he should wish his nape
never to be implicated in a qnestion of pt ivilege.
If the House thought it necessary 'to take any
steps on the present occasion, he hoped that the
mildest possible Coarse would be adopted. He
Wished only to state, as a prirof of the accuracy
of the writer, that in 1808; the time when he was
represented to have acted as a sycopliAnt towards
Bonaparte, he was employed in administeting jusss
Lice in Indiao--(Hcar, hear !)
Mr. CR6I;ER hOtylit it necessary to begin by
taking the sense of the House, whether the letter
alluded to was a breach of its privileges or not,
He did not think it was, because it dtd not rolack
the conduct of the Hort. and Leatned Member in
Parliament ; and secondly, because the reference
was not to what he had said, but to what he had,
been reported to have said; so that the blame
might attach solely to the report, and not to the
Hon. and Learned Member's speech.
Lord MILTotc conceived that if any question of
breach of privilege could at all be raised, it must
he only on that member of the sentence which
stated, that the House had received those shame.
less and impudent accusations with applause.
Mr. %VYNNE conceived that a grosser breach of
privilege could not have been committed, than
that which charged a Member with having brought
forward shameless and impudent accusations. It
was the more deserving of the visitation of the
House, because it did not come from the Editor
in the hurry of publication, but appeared in the
shape of a letter dated the I I th of June, and only
inserted -the 14th, so that there had been abun.
dant time for consideration.
IMr. CanKER maintained his former opinion.

Lord CASTLEREAGH advised that US there WAS
some doubt on the subject, it would be better to
afford an opportunity for.exatnining it a little more
coolly. Would the Honourable Member reduce
his motion into a notice for to-morrow

Mr. WYNtiE bail no objection to adopt the Noble
Lord's suggestion. lie thin withdrew his cont.
plaint for the present, atid gave notice of it for to.

morrow.
