Viscount Stnmntrrn rose and moved, That the

The Earl of St. GE UNA INS, in a short but perti-
nent speecrodiereiu he brought forward the lead-
ing arguments %Oriel' were urged In former dis-
cussious, conten'tled tar the necessity of adopting

'the measure.
Tile Kati of DARNIEY saw necessity what-
ever for its adoption. In the day of difficulty and
danger. however, he had supported such a mea.
sore, as deeming it 'right to arm the Executive
Government with extra Ordinary powers. At pre-
serit 'no danger or ground for alarth existed ; nor
in any point of view Whatet'er.Certild he see the
expediency for sanctiottilq, a measure Which, in a
6institutiLnal sense, he could not but regard as
tii►ngeroits.

The Earl of Most.EY argued in favour of
utloption, though the same degree of necessity
might not exist atpresent as in former periods;
yet he would put it to the Noble Lords who for-
merly supported the principle, to say, if they diet.

in this country, by tke consideration of its Go-

The, Duke of SUSSEX spoke at some length

presser! hiS opinion. that no case whatever was
made out by his Majesty's Ministers, to evince the

necessity of passing a Bill of so dangerous end

elating contrast between the situation of the Coim-
tryiiow, and what it was 20 yetis ago 4. when he
saw the pernicious principles which prevailed at
the former period now generally exploded, he

country. The principle of the Bill be con-
' reived to be au attack upon Magna Charta,
and even the -Habeas. Corpus Aet itself, by which
every resident in the country was to be held se-
cote as to his person and property% His Boyd
Highness referred to parts of thole great consti-
tntional documents ; to the writings of Mr. Justice
Brackstone and to the memoirs of Sir William
Temple, in support of his arguments ; the last-
mentioned, chiefly with a view to a consideration
of• the policy of the measure. 'Nothing that had
fallen front Noble Lords on the other side, in the
least satisfied bins, either as to 'the necessity or
the political expediency of the meestire ; and above
all, he deprecated the consideration (for such the
bill to a certain extent appeared to be) of legis-
lating fur the coavenience of a foreign country.
The Marquis' of Bucimonam followed, anti
et some length argued against- the 'Dill. A consi-
derable part of his Lordship's diseussioe referred.
to what was advenced on a former night of the
extent nt the Boyd, Prerogative as applicable
ro the measure. On this point he entertained
considerable'doubts as to the correctness of
what was nrivaneed by Noble end Learned Lords,
and argued, it bad never, practically, at least, •
been so considered in former periods of our
history. Noticing the Revocation of the Edict
of Nantz, by which more than fifty -thousand
Protestants were driven out of France, chiefly
into this country, at a time when there were Sti
vereigns on the Throne, sufficiently under the fre
fleence of France, and by no 'merles. friendly td,

Royal Prerogative, either by Charles or Joules IL.
was thought of to stem this, torrent or inflex of
foreigners into the country. It appeared to him
that all this reference to the prerogative was but
theoretical, very little of its practice would he
found hi oar history. 1n concluding, the Noble
Marquis- observed, that the •grouted upon which
the measure was defended was untenable ; its
principle Was eneoustitutional,' awl lie felt it his
duty to oppose the measure now, on, the same
grouted that lie should support it, did the exigency
of the period require its enactment. Heobjected..
to the vesting a .power its Ministers of - seeding.
Aliens out of the country, without assigning any
valise for so doing.- As to die boasted appeal,
what Wes it in fact, but an appeal from the Noble.
Lords in one room, to the Noble Lords in ono-
titer ? Upon the whole, thinking of it as .he did,
he felt it his duty to move, that instead of now,
the Kill should be read, this day.three months.
Lord. Renesereee. in answer to some of the ar-
guments which were urged against the measure,
contended', that the authority of Magna Cholla
itself was founded on the very existence of the
Rapti Pierogative. Were the history of the coun-
try looked into, it would be found that the Kings
bad frequently exercised their prerogative of send-
ing Miens' out of the country ; and one great ob-
ject of the Bill was to enable hint to exercise it so
fur, ht to summaty way. In general, the application.
for sending foreigners out of the country proceeded
from the peoelewhowerejealous of their commercial -
influence. On the contrary, the Kings, deriving a.
reyenee from Alien Customs, were rattier desirous
of protectiog them.. -fiowever,the-poliey or pro-:
priety of passing the Bill may be questioned, there.
was certainly nothing unconstitutional in the pro-
feeding. It had no reference whatever to the li
berties or properties of British subjects ; it mere,
ly applied to foreigners who had no-right to come
here. - The question merely was, the- expediency
or the necessity of interposing. some check upon
the great inflex'of foreigners into this country.
It was the ditty of his 'Majesty's Ministers to.
provide for the 'safety of the country, and also to
continue on good teems with the other countries
of Europe.

The Marquis--of LAwsnowNs -spoke at some \-*
length against the Bill ; aas did
Viscount Sitistoutn, urging the leading argu-
ments with great ability and force, in-support -of

tin pittrie in their hands a power unknown to the
Cinistitnt ton. Vie Noble Earl then mentioned
an instance of a respectable French Emigrant,
echo was hurried out of the country through the
malevolence of some secret enemies, and after
remaining 'abroad a twelvemonth, before he could
vindicate his character,, was at the end of that
time allowed to return. 'Thus, what had once
happ,ened might happen again ; it placed every
alien its this country a bsolutely dependent upon
GOvernment, and their power might be exerted
against him, to the titter destruction of Ills hopes
and Fortunes. This Bill was t hercfore in all respects
one which their Lordships would do well to con-
sider. The Noble 'Earl continued to descant upon
the oppressive tendency of, the Bill, which sub-
, jected to its operation every Mien not naturalized,
above 14 years of age ; while any 'Jacobin, or
other infamous foreigner, who had been for two
years in any of our Colonies, might come here
and reside, pursuing any schemes of sedition, and
towards hint the Bill would be completely inopt-
rative. The saute was the case with respect to
Ireland, where, not withStandingthis Bill, a fo-
reigner might be naturalized as soon as he ar-
rived, on taking the usual oaths. On all ,these
grounds, he should give his cordial dissent to the
motion.

Linrd ELLPTIBOROUGU wished to vinzlielite
self against the insinuation thrown out by the
Noble Lord, of having made i false representa-
tion of a Lati►► document which he had quoted,
and.whieb the Noble Earl had intimated itat not
anthentic.. He would say, i►► justice to himself,
that he who could overlook a talsrl►ood, was ca-
pable of committing it. (The Noble and Learned
Lord read the document, and defended hi►uself in
strong terms against the imputation.)
Earl GREY reprehended, in strong terms, the
warm manner ii.► which the topic bad been expa-
tiated upon by the Noble Lord, lie denied that
any apology was necessary froth him. The House

The Marquis of BUCKINOHAIit briefly explained.

The Loan CHANCELLOR maintained the .de-
cisive opinion which be had given on the subject
oil a former evening. Considering all the
liriti-
leges which Aliens have bylaw and by Statute; it
was evident that the law recognises the right of
the King to exercise the prerogative, fie would
have been most ready to disavow his former opi-
nion,lf he had seen the leait reason to alter, it.
. Lord HOLLAND briefly spoke against the Bill as
ithpolitic,lunjust, and unnecessary. Ue trusted
