MR. FINNERTY.

Mr. CHAPLIN, atter some prefatory observations,
itl whiCh he said that he receied a icoer front
the Under Slieriff of Lincoln, declaring that Mr.
Finnerty had offered money far' other apartments ;
34 also a statement from a Magistrate, in contradic-
tion of what had been advanced by M. Finnerty,
presented a Petition from Mr. Merry veember, the
Gaoler of Lincoln Castle, complaining of gross and
scandalous misrepretehtation in the Petitions 'pre-
sented to the House of Commons by Mr. niftier ty,
defending from the charge of oppressive.
conduct towards that individual, and stating that the
restraint that hart been imposed on Mr. F. was-in.
consequence of his having attempted to seduce a
turnkey from his duty, -by bribing him permit
him (Mt. F.) to be criminally connected with a
female convict, in the same pri,on. The Petition
concluded by praying, that the House would Call,,e a
strict inquiry to be made into the, cubdat of the
Petitioner (Mr. Merry weather) through the whole
of the, transaction.-
-On the motion that the Petition do lie on the
table,

Mr. WHITBREAD observed, that he was glad, to
fled that the gaoler was desirous of an inquiry into
his conduct. AS to the alleged impropriety of
which Mr. Finnerty had been guilty, although he
by no, means justified it, if it had really occurred, yet
it did not at all warrant the treatment which that
Gentleman had received. He had, however, had a
letter from Mr. Finnerty, distinctly stating that the
offer alluded to was not his, but had been made to
him try the turnkey, and that, on his relusal 10 avail
himself of it, the turnkey, in order, as he conceived,
to be before-hand with him, laid the information on
which the peseta accusation was fouuded. .The
Hun, Gentleman had ~userved, that he had received
a letter trom the Under Sheriff of Lincoln, stating
hat Mr. F. had off:red money for other apartments.
Why ha lhe been relu.ed ? Why were not better
apartments accessible to him as to ce her pm isoners
There was not any thing in the present petition, or
in all he had aid on the subj,d, which went to
dishrote that' Mr. Finnerty had sutreted nni,:h op-
pression, and had been treated in an unusual dud in
an unnecessary manner. The getietal question as
to the propriety 01 entrusting to a gaoler the
cretiun of aggravating or matiOting•• punishments at
his pleasure, rewained just the Sarno as ever.
Mr. CHAPLIN replied, that Mr. Finnerty had ex•
pertenced the greatest indulgence, and Jiad even
ben allowed by Mr. Merryweatlier to walk in his
own garden, until he proved ternself unworthy of
such - liberal treatment. Another prisoner in the
same gani, Mr. Prakard, had represented the treat-
ment of the,prisoneis 'direa contraditti ht to the
statement of Mr. Finnerty, and :had diatinetty as-
serted that he himself experienced every ityluigence
con..istent with the execution of the sentence of
the taw.
Mr. iitIOUPHANI contended that this statement of
Mr. Drakurd was wianswer to the statement of Mr.
Finnerty. On the contrary, it was an aggraVatioDPl
Mr. Finnerty's case. Could any thing be more.repre-
hensible than that two individuals convicted or si-
milar misdemeanors, and sentenced in precisely the
same words, should be treated at the discretion of a
gaoler, the one with mildness, and the other• with
`rigour ? There was out point, left untouched in the
gaoler's Petition. Not one word did he say in an-
:swer to Mr. Finnerty's statement, moat he had been
subject to solitary ceofitietnent. He trusted that
the power of a g4oler, simply to deprive ',one inch-
of his persoual liberty, and to doom another,
individual; convicted .of precisely the same orEtnee,
to solitary imprisonment, would be made the sub.
jest of Parliamentaty consideration in the next
Session.

Mr. Secretary RYDER denied that even Mr. Fin-
nerty affected, in his own Petition,, to state that be
sudered solitary confinement. Alt that he stated
was, that be had in one or two instances not 'Oen
persons who wished to see him, Since the last tlii-
eUSSioll of this subject he had taken Oil possible
means to inquire into it, and he found that there
was not the slightest ground for 11)031 of. the state-
ments imide by Mr. Finnerty and.lris liiends, and
that the few statements wkiich had a- shadow of
foundation were grossly exaggerated.
After some further observations by Mr. Brongham
and Mr. Stephen,, the Petition WiJS 01%lered to lie
on the table.

COM'OREAL PUNISIIMENT.
Mr. Secretary RYDER adverting to a Case stated
by an Him. Baronet (Sir F. Nutlett) on a late discus-
SiOD respecting the corporeal punishMent of a man
,of the name of Evers, who had cut his throat in the
Isle of Wight to avoid being flogged, obsetved !bat
the Hon. Baronet laboured under considerable misap-
prehension nn the subject. On inquiry, he learnt
from the General of the District, that the ,name of
the man alluded to by the Hon. Bari net was not
Evers, but Avery. He had route to the Isla of
'Wight from Tilbury, as a recruit of a ,suspicions
ctraraCter. As soon as he had receiyed the final
payment of his bounty, this man with three others
deserted ; but being subsequently taken in plain
cloaihs by a press-gang at llytie, he was brought
back to the depot, anoriad by a Court Martial.—
Betote, however, the sentence of the Court Martial
had been promulgated, this man atteMpted to cut
Iris throat, Such was the statement of the real tact,
as it occurred. .He Wits aware that it did not-at all
r.iffeet tie general question of the expediency, or in-
expediency, of corporeal punishment ; but it was
certainly desirable that these Individual cases should
be described with accuracy, and he eertaialy 'could
not conceive a more aggravated instance of mili-
tary delinquency than the one to which he had just
called the attention of Hense.
Mr. WHITBREAD admitted,, that the case of this
individual was not one of peculiar severity, but rat
the same time contended that it by no meant operat-
ed against the argument for the abolition of flogging.
Since the last discession on this subject, he had re-
ceived a letter, which to him appeared practically
conchts,ve upon it. It was from a person having
the chief command at the recruiting parties in a dis-
trict of the country in which the temptations to re-
mks to act in a manner meriting punishment were
peculiarly strong. This Officer, however, declared

In his kqter, in the most emphatic languncge, Mat V e
found coipore.ii punishment to be completely unne-
ce,sary, and a hat the Mangles, if- there were n»y in
his district, were mouldering awiy in a.g tett:
Mr Brioucimti swied, that the motion olf which
his Hon. Friend, *lir) was nbt (lien present '(Sir F.
Burdett), kid Oven notice for the` nuxt Session of
Parliament,' was not founded on any particular in
staace of bt verily, but would proceed en the gener3l
question of the expediency of corporeal piin:.innlts
in the araiy.
Sir C. .I.iontiaLL expressed his firm convielion
that there were cases .in which set ere corporeal pu-
nishment in a reiment was indispensable, attiless
ir,deed death in such cases was tO be uniformly re
-
soiled to. As to solitary impriionnieni, that he was
persuided was in few insianTes pratticahie. The
Hon. Bart. was proceeding to explain his views of
the subjea, when

The SPEAKER interposed, and suggested the pro-
priety of abstaining farm any general discussion,
there being no quesiion before the Huuse.

ASSASSINATION.

Mr, WIIITMEAT) observed, that as the House
Was unoccupied at that Moment, he hoped he might
be indulged with sesing a kw words, which it was,
otherwise his intention to have (leered to their 'no-
tice on the question of adjeurnment. His oeject in
rising Was to give the-Rt. Hon. Gent. opposite, or any
other of his Majesty's Mieistees, tan opportunity Of
making an avo eat, similar to that which he ,under-
stisod had been made in another pl 'ce by Marquis
Wellesley, on a eubjeti intimately involving the chits
raster of the British Government, and the welfare
and safety of every individual of the:Royal Family.
The House would be aware tht he ,alluded to the
horrible doe.trines which had recently been 'promul.
gated by the preSs respediree aseessination. That
had been preached up as a duty undo"; certaio cir-
cumstances, which no circumstance's could justify.
Were the writers to which he' alluded' aware that
they lod to the perpetration of crime on the innocent
and meritorious, by the arguments in which they
recommended the perpetration of crime, one—cer-
tainly net ineocenteecertainly not meritorious—but
of whom they were not -to set themselves up as the
judges and the punishers. When these persone
held nut the examples of antiquity for the pet eetre-
riots of wen crimes, or such deeds, as he presumed
they would call them—When they described the
individtiale of former ages, by when) those exam-
ples had been afibrded, as the beneqelors of man-
kind, and as ever since having been so estimated, he
supposed it Would be in vain for hits to suggest tp
them the great change which had taken place in
,morel duty, by the Christian' system of religion. It
would be in vain, lie resu ned, for him to point out
to their consideration, that by the, mild dalliers of
that religion an eye was no longer cleinao.fed for an
eye, or a tooth for a tooth. To the persons to whom
he alluded such an appeal would in all probability
be fruitless; but he would call op the advocates of
assassination to shew a single instance in which 'the
crime had been successful, or had been followed by
the advantages anticipated by the shartsighted per-
petretoiss of it. Aeer the asi!issination of Caesar,
had the liberties of Rome been better secured than
before ? Had the knife of the assassin been always
pointed at tie proper object ? Had it net frequently.
been directed against the breast Of the innocent and
meritorious ? against the breast of Henri IV. ale!
'Louis XV.- of France; of the treat Pence of
Orange ; and twice in our own days, of the existing
Monarch of this country Had not the King of
Sweden been assassinated 1, Hail nuethe keeperors
Peter and Paul of Russia been assessinatee ? And
was it prudent to preach up ,the doctrine, that any
individual was competent to judge who ought to be
assassinated and who ought not ? Before those_pere
sons toldthe Spaniard that he had a right to assassi-
nate the Emperor of France because he invaded
Spain, let them recollect how recently Great Bri-
tain had attacked an inoffending nation,- with whom
she was not tat wars If their doctrines were whole-
some, let them reflea on the right which a Zealand.
er, infiemed by that which he (Mr. W.) should ever
term a most atrocious vielenee, walth' possess to
arm himself ion their prinaiples with the poniard 01
veegeante. • Let them retied!' on treat...progress

the march of British armies Peer the guiltiest! eoute.
tries in Asia, fof the purpose of. deposing their on-
offending sovereigns. Surely those sovereigns hareie
their Courts individuals persorrelly and warmly at
taehed to them ; and were the doctrines to wit:o he
alluded established, the liand of A subject of the Nebel)
of Oude or Tippoo Sultaun might, wi h justice, be
lifted in secret against those to whom his untortus
nate sovereign owed his misfortunes. There was
something, however, beyond this ti ensideration of
the subject. The papers in which these doterines
were asserted were published in this country in Inc
French language, for the purpoie of being Osculated
on the Continent, and were supposed to be so cir-
cot:dated, under the auspices of the British Govern-
ment,: for that which th 4 imagined to be a wise pc).
liticral objeet. These papers accordingly went forth
to the world as sanctioned by this Government.
With that feeling they would be read by the person
whom they declared it would be not only justifiable,
but meritorious, to murder. Let' it be recollected
that this person had. pre-conceived the- opinion that
the British Government were tee instigators of the
plot for his destruction, by means of the internal
machine, Let it be recoll(Waed, that he had told
the, people of France that the British Gueeminent
had landed assassins on tee French coast for the pur-
pose of secretly destroying him. What a cooftema-
Lion would such statements on his part recette from
the circulation of see!) lit etrines es those recently
promulgated ? What must be the necessary conse-
quence, but, that if this person conceived that the
band of the British Government was' thus raised.
against his person, that' he would avail himiett
ever\ opportunity of retaliation ? The very indivi-
duals who published these papers declAred, that a
person of the name of Haukwitzer had olready been
sent from France, for the express purpose: of -tit-
tempting the life of the Sovereign of Greet Britain.
At the very moment that they became the advoeieee
of assassination, they expressed their belief that
Buonaparte had in his pay a bend, rile for tarty deed
or blood. Were they aware of the vital danger to
which they thus exposed the persons of their Siree.
reign and his family ? For 'himself, having seen
the doctrines to which he had alluded maintained in
those publications which were generally considered
as having the support of eseneuistrations nod having

V.7c have r;piiitedly stated that Ibe.,abjt of the
I.'l'eticli party in Aiuorica, is to provoke a war with
this country, and the Airneecan Government, we
are Sorry to say; has long evinced a disposiiion, to
comply with click. wishes. It is needless to reca-
pitulate the various acts ofirosdlity.which the Atne-
,
lican Govronient, both under Mr. JKFFERSuN and
Mr. MADDISON, has coinit,itted against this country,
--acts which wo.dd have justified the most prompt
aid decisive measures of retaliation. The manifest
pattiality displayed upon 41 occasions toWitids
France,--Lthe, open attempts to seduce- • Blitisti
seamen from their (Inv, and the refusal afterwards
to give them up—th# fraudulent practice, tokrated if
not encouraLed by the Government, otgiving Certifi-
cates or American citizenship to lutist, seamen,
a..d then claiming them as natural-bolo ilaueriemi

subjects—Ale permission, openly granted, to lit out
privateers, with French Commissions,- in the har••
bows of America, and the refusal, at the same time,
to admit British ships of war intuAAmerient Ports—
the insults that word stud:owl>. otfered to our Am-
bassador, &c,would, it the British Government had not
been actuated by the MUM pacific sentiments, .have
'produced that rupture which the American Govern-
ment seems so eagerly to desire. The last adof unpi o •
yoked violence, unless speedily aria amply atoned for,
must bring the question to a' decisive issue : conci-
liation and forbearance have been tried as long;and
perhapS longer, than is consistent wi h the dignity
and character of Great Britain, We are fir, very
far from wishing for a war with America, and we
are convinced that the must ettedtual way to avoid
one, is to show the-Atnerican Government that we
do not fear it. Experience has shewn that every
concession we have made to the American Govern-
ment, has only led to new insults and fresh de-
mands; we trust that the adoption of measures of
firmness and sigour will bring the American G -
verninent to leason, without the necessity of_an ,ap-
peal to arms.

It is. well known that Fouckig, who has been
one of the chief agents in promoting the elevation
of BUONAPAiLTE and securing his power, was re-
cently dismissed from his situation at the head of the
Police, and, to qualify his disgrace, was appointed
Governor of Rome. BUONTAPARTii, according to the
report of a very respeEtable English Gentleman who
lately arrived tiom Pat is, and who had been defamed
,several years in France, took leave of FOUCHE, on
giving him his new appointment, in the most af-
fetaionate manner, acknowledging his obligation to
him, and promising a continuance of kindness, but
urging him immediately to depart for his new Go-
vernment, as it was of importance that the Roman
Capital,should be under the auperint6dance of so
vigilant and enlightened a man as soon as possible.
Fouctii, of course, found it necessary to depart at
once, and has never since been heard of : but it is
rumoured at Paris that he was way-laid on his jour-
ney by.a-military party, and put to death in a mo-
Ment. The same Gentleman assures us, that the
atrocities of BUONAPARVE, and particularly his war
against Spain and Portugal, which has drained the
population-of France, merely to elevate and aggran-
dize his familp, -have rendered hiin the object
universal abhorrence—and that people in general dpi
'not seem to utter their opinions with the same ap-
prehension and dismay as heretofore: Indeed, as we
understand, there seems to. be in Paris a general
expeamion of some extraoriinary event, whiCh is
likely to produce a very yeat chanze in France, and
of course all over the Continent.
