AMENS.
Lord !ULLA NO presented a petition from a periten
of the name of Thomas Maximus, complainiug
hardships connected with the subject of the 'Alien
Bill. He of course could not vouch Girliey of the
allegations in the petition ; but presented it, on the
principle that every petition, couched in respect-
Jul terms,. 'Tao's subject of which the ;1-ionso.
could take cognizance, ought preseatcd,'
however humble the condition of the petitioner.
'--'The petition stated, that the petitioner was
brought to this country by his I)arenttat the early
age of 2 years; that he .had been.ehandoned- by
them; trait he had been brougbrup in tin hos-
pital, lied become a chimney-sweeper, had been
uccusetrof. an atrocious oriole (the murder of a
boy,. as we understood), of which he stated that
he was innocent; but that be had been convicted, ,
awl pardoned ; that he had been exposed to the
severest hardship and ill-usage when in prison ;
that he had been sent. out of, the country un-
der the Mien Act, &c. This petition . brought'
two points under their Lordships' eoiiiiitlera.
lion,- with reference to the Alien Aces-: • Ist.
That this 'was a sort of proceeding under:these
Acts which never could have beet,►iu thecoutempls.
tion of the Legislature when it passed them ; and
therefore, though in tine particular instance this.
authority might have been resorted to even from
motives of humanity, the power. might be greatly
abused. The 2d point was, that by these acts
they were subjecting to this arbitrary power
sons who; in habits at least, were natives of this'
country. No doubt a person born abroad was,
in 'a legal sense, 'an Alien ; but when one was
brought to this country in early'infancy, and had
contracted all the habits of an' Englishman, the
exercise of this power might, be munch more op.,
pressive with ttipect to_hito than when exercised!
Against thoie of 16teign habits and connections,
ifs: moved that the Petition be -read ; 'it was 'read
accordhigly, and' laid on the table.

The Earl of DotintlGnmone rose, Turinent to

persons so circumstanced, as to the time far dis-
cussing the merits of their Petitions ; mind also for
MS own pert, he considered it as a time particu-
larly seasonable for entering into the subject. The
present Petitions were peculiarly worthy of the
serious attention of their Lordships, inasmuch as
slime of't hem contained certain new and important
'features. Two of these Petitions proceeded rather
upon a different principle from the other., The first
-of these was from the meeting which took place at
the house of told Triteleston. In this Petition a
.willingness is expressed, to concur in stick arrange-
ments as may be consistent with tha full exercise
of their religion., and the purity of its tenets, and

object of their claims, be must deny that sock re-
ports were well-founded. After a few general

'Earl 'Gee+ rose to present a Petition fl tith the
great bOdy of the EngliSli Cirtkolics, COMplaining
of the manifold restrictions they are ',tacit! under,
amounting to an exclusion front the plc of the
British Constitution. His Lordship addieited the
House on the occasion in tin eloquent speech (it
considerable length. The Petitiou, he observed,
was signed by die Duke of Norfolk, the Earl of
Shrewsbury, Lord .Clifford, and by all the Eng-
lish Catholic Peers, who, he regretted to say,
trete, without a shadow of reason, excluded from
seats in that House. The cause of the paucity of
the signatures to the Pet Man, was its 1)01 being con-
ceived necessary ((revile general meeting for the pur-
polie.ThePet it inn was in itsellmodera te and respect-
ful.; it stated firmly but temperately the grievances

tual justice and: policy of the Legislature which
they addressed. They were in tact, lie observed,
excluded from the -blessings of a Constitution,
which was achiet4,(l by' the patriotism and Cc-.
mented by; tire blood of their ancestors. He ex-
patiated on the heavy restrictions which the Eng-
lish Catholics laboured under ; briefly in compa-
rison to the Catholics in Camula, who were reit-
dercd eligible to every thing in the State ; but at
some length %vheu Compared with their Catholic
fellow-subjects of !fano!, who iteriadmitted to

adYantages which iu consettliifice res'elteel to the

ltanees of the times he thought particularly favour.
able to a satisfactory adjustment' of the Catholic
Claims. He glanced at the existing state of of-
fairs on the Continent, nod particularly to the
favourable disposition of the head of the catholic
Church to give effect to measures of concilintibn
between them:and his Majesty's Governmens ; the
extinction of the power of Buimaparte, and the
hops of the establishment of a better state of
things on the Continent of Europe, all these cote..
siderations greatly narrowed the question. He
trusted it would he. so considered by the Noble
Earl oppOsite, with that candour which lie 'Always

ALIEN BILL.
The Order won which their.Lorthhips were
summoned, being read,
Viscount Stomouitt rose to move the second
reading of this Bill. Ile first adverted to the
'measures being tis'a ce'rtiiiii extent a continuation
of one which was renewed from time to time, and
which weye. sanctioned by ,wheat might be almost
deemed the unaiiimons sense Of Parliament I. but
they ,:ere uniformly opposed by sonic, from whom
he could consistently look fur notliMg' but (Tito.,
sition now. The 'present measure, in point of
general principle, was similar to the Acts tai 1;793
and 1862; tint iii Its'provisions it was much miti-
gated, and in the %line, with a refereure to the
change of circumstances, 'greatly improved:: If
the general sense of the arouse was not derithdly.
in favour of the present measure, tbe;r Lords-hips'
opinion• must have undergone a fundaniental:
thange. The present measure, lie observed, had
principally two objects ioyiew— The first was to
enable his Majesty, through the Secretary of
State, to send suspected out of the
w coun-
try. He should '
think that as toiquiltionably a
part of the aticient,prerogative of the Crown, had
lie not beard itdis'puted by some whoseopiaions
were entitled to respect. The
_next object was to
give facility to the execution of those orders for
which Parliament, at in the preceding cases, was
resorted to. No punishment tvas provided for
here, as in the tomer Bills. lie bail, from the
nature of the cases, no Oflicial'information to lay
before the Home, in illustration of the necessity
of the measure. He would put it to their Lord-
ships, whether, after the continuance of a system
for 23 'years, it could at (once be with Salidy abo-
lished. The measure was modelled in consonance
with the improved state of Europe. He was well
aware that an Alien, generally speaking, implied
a person born without the allegiance of the'King ;
hut be knew that persons, •thotigh born witlflir
that allegiance, may become Aliens. In admi-
nistering; the measure, he assured the House,
the best exercise of his oats discretion should be
used, and whenever any case of difficulty occur-
red, the best authorities should be resorted to; for
solution; the establishment under the present
B:11 was greatly reduced, the expeneas being di-.
ininiilied from 90001. to 30001. per autumn, end
the diminution in the number of Officers employ-
ed was also considerable. In the last three years
there were but 21 instances of n1(141(14103 arrested
under the r perations of the Bill, and of
thee
only 15 hid been sent out of the country;
whereas, In the preceding 14 years, 200 arrests
Gad taken place, tinder all the circumstances of

own view of the question would evince the indis-
pensible' necessity of the measure, not only
iar
these views of the case to which he hod shortly
directed their attentiOtt, buit with a view to the
internal tranquillity cif the Country, and induce
them to decide according to those, principles which
bad always infhieuced their Opinions respecting
this important Measure. The Noble Viscount

Earl FITZWILLIAM rose to give his decided op-
position to the Bill. When the Alien Act was

The Earl of Aatty.ness: thought that a state of

nothing to do with the question as to the expe-
dieticy of the measure tooter consideration. The
question was 1101 About pre.venting ibis cotintii

country was now very different from what. it was
in 1793. But he would ask whether such a mek.

of was, that tolOk aivsty from :a man
the privilege of hying tried. hy hisTeers. As retie
who stood up for the laws of the .country,' he
viewed tnis 13111 with great conrerit ; it was a
measure both tittwiSe and impolitic. The, effect
of the Bill wool(' certainly he to drive those per-
sons, who would otherwise have sought ail asylum
in thii country, to America.. his Royal high-
ness having expatiated on the mischiefs that would
result from this operation of the Bill, concluded,
by declaring that he felt, hiniself b4tind to vote
