• Regulation Bill.
• Mr. H. MARTIN moved the Order of the Day for the second
reading of the Admiralty Registrar Bill.
Lord CASTLEREAGH said, he was not prepared to enter
bite the detail of the Bill, but be conceived that it was certainly
better that the money of suitors should be vested in the Bank of
than in any other private security. The balance at
present its the hands of the Registrar (Lord Arden), Which he

"."'W

toderetood amounted to between 16 Ma JOAO, Wal I Rif& I
cient reason for Parliamentary interference and regulation. He
did not, however, wish the regulations to take place during the
term by which the office was held by law by its present possessor.
Sir W. SCOTT briefly supported the claims of the present
Registrar.

Mr. H. MARTIN said, he did not conceive that the Noble,
Lord (Arden) could have any legitimate interest in the money ofl
suitors in his hands. He conceived that the sum uninvested ex-
ceeded 3C80,000, and that there was a distinct account of 5e95,000
accruing since 1777.

Mr. STEPHEN stated, and pledged himself to prove, that
£95,969, was the whole amount of suitors monies at present
remaining in the hands of the Registrar.
ME. MARTIN, ME.STEPHEN, ME.FARQUBAR,aftd ME.WRIT•
BREAD, entered into a detailed and intricate discussion of the
accounts given in from the Registrar's Office, and of another
account received by Mr. Martin from a private source, the re-
sult of which seemed to be, that X 95,969 was all the money at
present uninvested, but that it had at one tine amounted to no
less than £247,000.
After a few words from Sir JOHN Nicaot., Sir S. ROMILLY,
and Mr. RYDER, the Bill was recommitted, and ordered to be
referred to a Committee of the whole House this day sennight.
Mr. MARTIN moved, that the Report on the Deputy Re-
membrancer of the Exchequer's Bill be taken into consideration;
but, On the suggestion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, it was
postponed until next Wednesday.
On the motion of Mr. PE eta the Irish Hides Bill was read a
second time, and committed for Thursday.
Mr. PEELE moved for leave to bring in a Bill for the Relief
of Insolvent Debtors in Ireland.

Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY approved of extending the spirit of
the English Law on this subject to the people of Ireland. He
also wished to know it it was in the contemplation of the Right
Hon. Gentleman to have the Bill for the regulation of Eccles'asti-
cal Courts extended also to that country, and regretted the ab •
sence of an Honourable and Learned Gentleman, from whom
they might expect some information on that subject.
After a few words from Mr. Pitts, leave was given to
bring it in.

Nit% HERBERT, of Kerry, rose pursuant to his notice, to
move for the 15th Report of the Commissioners of Naval Revi-
sion, with a view of founding some motion upon it for the im-
provement of the Dock Yards of Deptford and Woolwich. He
touched briefly upon some plan which he bad seen for that pur-
pose, and after stating some of the inconveniencies, which it was
his wish to see remedied, he alluded to some of the objections
that might be urged against the plan. He stated, that the car-
rying of this plan into effect would tort about X 15,000 a year.
He was sure that the production of tae Report could be attended
with no inconvenience to the public service. He concluded by
moving, that an Address be presented to his Royal Highness the
Prince Regent, humbly praying, that he would be pleased to or-
der the 15th Report of the Commissioners of Naval Revision to
be laid before the House.

Mr. CROKER said, that it would not be necessary for him to
trouble the House at length on this question. The Honourable
Mover proceeded on two assumptions t-r-1. That a large Naval
Arsenal was to be built, and 2. that the existing Dock Yards at
Woolwich and Deptford were to be abandoned. The int as-
sumption was premature, and the second still more so. A suffi-
cient answer to the Honourable Gentleman's motion was, that
the Government would not undertake any work at Northfleet,
without submitting the subject to the consideration of Parlia-
ment. On this ground he should give his vote against the motion.
Mr. Alderman A said, that be understood the present
motion to he a side wind to introduce a Canal Bill. This Canal,
if established, would have the effect of taxing all shipping which
approached the Port of London, whether they passed through the
Canal or no,—(No from Mr. Herbert)— This work, of which
the capital was X 305,000 bad beep subscribed to only by ten
persons, at XlOOO each. A profit was to be guaranteed by Go-
vernment to bleeping partners, and for this was the shipping of
the kingdom, already too much burthened, to be oppressed.
Mr. ROSE opposed the motion. '1 he proposal for a Canal had
been thrown out very loosely wheg the Admiralty had appeared
to support it, but had upon examination been found inexpedient.
The projector of this Canal had,at first proposed to do away wi h
the poor Thames altogether, and bring a Canal to Vauxhall
Tbe Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Atkins) bad misunderstood the
Honourable Mover, as to the taxing ships In the river; a surer
plan had been adopted by proposing to secure the interest by
taxing the whole kingdom.
Mr. CROKER explained.
Mr. P. MOORE s iid, that the only ground for this motion
was, that the undertakers of a great and useful works should be
guaranteed that the capital they expendAi would not be rendered
unproductive. Anchorage for 6uo shipi would be required in
rime of peace, and it certainly would not he lost time for a Com-
mittee to iuquire, how far this could be afforded by the Canal in
question?
Lir. HERBERT replied.

The motion was negatived without a division.
Mr. HERBERT then moved, that it be referred to a Select
Committee to inquire Into the pracdrabllity and ad% aistages of
the Erith Canal, espeelal:y as to rendering easy the access to
Woolwich aid Deptford. -
Mr. CROKER hoped that the !louse would not in this cage
depart from its natal mikes and give delusive hopes to a spc-
culation now ae its last gasp.
Mr. HERBERT obittved, that to call the p'an a speculation,
WAS no answer to the strement of ha advantages.
Mr. ROSE said, that the plan, if expedient, might be adopted
by Governineut.

Aftir a kw words from Ales4rs. A-n(l%s, P. MOORE, and
flEitlitiLf, the motion was negatived.—Adjotaned to Monday.

PARLIAMENTARY PRIVILEGES.

TITS KING V. T. CREEVY, ESQ.

Mr. BROUGHAM moved for a Rule to shew cause
why there should not be a new trial in this cause,
on the ground of misdirection on the part of the
Learned Judge.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH asked, if the defendant were
in Court?—Mr. Brougham said, he was.
Mr. ROUGHAM then stated, that it was an indict-
ment fora libel, in publishing a writing, purporting
to be a copy or report of a speech in the Commons
House of Parliament. Having been first removed,
by certiorari, from the Sessions of the county of Lan-
caster, into the Court of King's Bench ; it came on
for trial before Mr. Justice LE BLANC, at Lancaster,
when he ( Mr. Brougham) moved to have the trial
put off, on account of the absence of a material wit-
ness, Mr. Bennett, a Member of the House of Com-
mons, who was willing to come forward to prove, that
the.writing in question was the substance of the speech
delivered by the defendant in the Commons House of
Parliament : but Mr. PARK, the Attorney-General
for the county palatine, having agreed to allow that
it was the substance of the speech, the trial proceeded.
The only witness on the part of the prosecution,
was a Mr. Egerton Smith, who proved the publica-
tion, and that he had received the paper from which it
was printed enclosed in an envelope from the defendant,
expressing a wish to have it printed. He also said,
that although he had lost the envelope, he recollected
the substance of what it contained, which was, that
defendant having seen various misrepresentations of
his speech in different newspapers, he wished a more
accurate report to be inserted.
The Learned Counsel said, the publication was
therefore bona fide, and at this stage of the trial, he
had objected that there was nothing to go to the Jury
on ; for, he contended, that there was nothing in the
publication libellous or defamatory, and that what-
ever might be the nature of the publication, enough
had been shown, to prove that it had been printed
under circumstances which rendered it justifiable, and
he relied on the case of the King v.Wright, 8. T. R.
293., But the Learned Judge disposed of both
&Quads, particularly the latter, stating, that after

--..,_. _
.~... «.~.y~
_,

the ease of the King v. Lord Abingdon, it was im-
possible to say, that it was justifiable to publish an
account of what a Member had said in Parliament in-
jurious to a third person ; and whenever a Member
of Parliament should publish a- report of his speech,
he would hold him liable for its contents. The case
of the King v. J. Wright, he said, did not apply, as
it was an application for a criminal information,
which was an application to the discretion of the
Court. But the Learned Counsel stated, that he had
contended, as he should now contend, that that case
was not decided on that ground, but the application
was refused expressly on the ground that there was
no reason to send it to trial, as it was not punishable
or a matter of judicial inquiry, being a fair account
of proceedings in Parliament ; and he also stated to
his Lordship, that there was also the class of cases
(well known to the Court) of persons who gave un-
favourable characters of servants to third persons, for
which, however defamatory, they were held not lia-
ble. His Lordship stated, that then a confidence had
been reposed. But the Learned Counsel had stated
to his Lordship, that the occasion, and not the con-
fidence, was the reason why they were not held lia-
ble ; and in the case of Weatherstone v. Hawkins,
1 Term Reports, 110, both Lord Chief Justice Mans-
field and Mr. Justice Buller, relied on the occasion,
and not on The confidence. It was a legal objection
which excluded malice.

Mr. Justice BAYLEY.—The party is not a volunteer,
he owes it to society.
Mr. BROUGHAM then went on to state, that the
Learned Judge said, that malice depended on the
thing itself, and if the matter were injurious malice
must be inferred. Mr. B. said, that in general, he
was aware that their Lordships would not travel out
of the four corners of the writing ; but the malice in
some cases, might be rebutted by evidence. In his
charge to the Jury, the Learned Judge stated sub-
stantially the same doctrine. He stated that the ques-
tion for them was, whether it was defamatory or not ;
that it was not material when the indictment was pre-
ferred [the Learned Judge made this remark in
consequence of evidence having been given, that it
was preferred during a contested election in which
the defendant was a candidate :] that it was not a
question for them to consider, whether the defendant,
having spoken it in his-place in the House 9f Com-
mons, was justified? As to the manner of the publi-
cation, which was printed, purporting to be a speech
of the defendant's in the House of Commons, and to
have been sent by defendant as a true report, in order
to correct misrepresentations, it was for the Jury to
consider whether the manner did not imply malice. It
was not any matter whether defendant knew the plain-
tiff or not ; it was not necessary to prove any pique
or animosity. His Lordship left it to the Jury to say,
whether it was defamatory or not, but declared that,
in his opinion, it was defamatory, and in consequence
the Jury found a verdict of Guilty. The Learned
Counsel then stated, that he had to submit to their
Lordship, that the publication was made under such
circumstances as to prevent the possibility of implying
malice. It was universally allowed, that a Member
of Parliament was dispunishablc for whatever he
might say in the House of Parliament—he was bound
to perform certain duties to his representatives, and
it had been oft,n laid down that he was the represen-
tative not only of the place which returned him, but
when returned, he became the representative of the
whole country ; and he was not merely justifiable, but
it was his duty to explain his conduct in Parliament
to his Constituents. If in any case it could be
justifiable, it was most particularly so in this, when
his conduct had been misrepresented. It was in the
execution of this trust that this act of publication took
place. He begged to call their Lordships' attention
to the case of the King v. Lord Abingdon, 1 Es?.
'226, and it appeared from that report, (a more full
n,ite with which he had been furnished), that Lord
Abingdon having quarrelled with his attorney, Mr.
Sermon, gave notice of a Bill to correct the practice
of attornirs, and in his place read a written speech,
which was a string of defamatory remarks against
Mr. Sermon, which paper he afterwards, at his own
expence, had printed in several of the public Papers.
Lord Abingdon appeared in Court without Counsel
or Attorney.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH-It was an information ?

Mr. BROUGHAM stated, that it was granted imme-
diately, there being no opposition. Lord Abingdon
claimed a right to sit in a particular place in the
Court, and to sit covered, but took no legal objection,
except that he bad spoken the words in his place in
the House, of which he gave no evidence. Lord
Kenyon said, that a Member of Parliament had cer-
tainly a right to publish his speech, but that such
speech should not be made a vehicle of slander against
any individual.
Mr. Justice BAYLEY.—Does it not reflect on the
prosecutor?
Mr. Baoyonast said it was published bna.fide, and
was not made a vehicle of slander. If it were writ-
ten for another purpose, it could not be said to be a
vehicle of slander, although the character of an indi-
vidual might be defamed. Lord Kenyon, in the case
alluded to, went on to state, that in order to consti-
tute a libel, the mind must be in fault, and shew a
malicious intention to defame ; for if published inad-
vertently, it would not be a libel : but when a libel.
lous publication appeared unexplained by any evi-
dence, the Jury should judge from the overt act ; and
when the publication contained a charge slanderous
in its nature, should from thence infer that the inten-
tion was malicious. In that case there was not any
evidence of the publication having been a speech de-
livered in Parliament. In the case of the King v.
Wright, 8 T. R. 293, which was a motion for a cri-
minal information against the defendant for print-
ing and publishing a libel on J. H. Tooke, in pub-
lishing a Report of a Committee of the House of
Commons, in which Tooke was charged with prac-
tices almost amounting to high treason, the publica-
tion was allowed to be an accurate copy of the Re-
port. The case was fully considered, and the Judges
gave their judgments at length, and refused the in-
formation, on the ground that it could not be libel.
lous, being an accurate account of proceedings in
Parliament. Lord Kenyon said, " it is impossible
for us to admit that the proceeding of either House
of Parliament is a libel; this is a proceeding by one
branch of the Legislature, and therefore we cannot
enquire into it." Mr. Justice Grose concurred in
opinion with Lord Kenyon. Mr. Justice Lawrence
also, on that occasion, compared the proceeding in
radiament to those ht a Court of Law; which were

open to publication ; and he had never known a ;74.
secution for publishing a correct report of a Court of
Law proceedings, even though such publication d:
not entirely relate to points of law, but was matter of
information to the public. Such had been the opi.
nion of Lord Chief Justice Eyre, in the case of
per v. Walter, which.was the publication of an to
pante statement in a Court of Law ; yet Lord Chict
Justice Eyre said on that occasion, it was a fair re-
port of a proceeding in a Court of Justice, and.there.
fore not libellotts. Such publications were of gene.
ral advantage to the country, and the public benefits
derived from them more than outweighed the incur.
venience to individuals. Such would also apply ti
the publication of the proceedings of Parliament; :t
was of advantage both to the Public and to the Le.
gislature, that its proceedings should be published,
The Learned Counsel then proceeded to contend Cr.:
he could not distinguish the present case from dm!
the King v. Wright. There the publication was tr r
report of a Committee; here the publication v.-as the
report of a speech delivered in the House by a Mem
ber, in the discharge of his duty, addressed to the
Chair, and which the House had listened to. It these
hal been any thing improper, the Mouse might have
called the Member to order, and have even commit.
ted him fur an abuse of privilege of speech ; and, to
use the expression of Lord Ellenborough in a recut
case, Burdett v. Abbott, it was barely decent to
suppose that the House would become a p arty to the
abuse of its privileges." This they must in the case
in einestion have done, had they suffered a speech im.
proper to be made to be uttered ; and by sitting to
listen to it, they must have become a party. The
Learned Gentleman proceeded at some length to
contend, that it was the duty of Members of l'aili.i-
ment to give an account of their conduct
.to tl.eir
Constituents, and that they were hot liable to
answer out of the House for any thing which they
had said in their place in Parliament ; that they
were authorized to publish their speeches, since it was
not to be supposed the House itself would suffer any
speeches to be made which were improper to be corn.
mui:icated to the Public. He also submitted, that he
had proved sufficient at the trial to do away the
charge of malice against the defendant. The publica.
Lion was part of a long speech on another subject, a
very inaccurate report of which bad been given in
several Papers, and particularly in the preceding num-
ber of the Paper in question ; and to correct that
misstatement, and explain his conduct, the defendant
had requested the proprietor to insert the manuscript
which he sent him.

Lord ELLEN BOROUGH said, it remained till the pre-
sent day to be asserted, that a Member of Parliament,
for the purpose of explaining his conduct to his con-
stituents, might publish any libels he thought proper
on an individual, and not be answerable for them.—
This was an exception from the law of the land,
never claimed till the present moment.
Mr. BROUGHAM said., he did not argue that he
might publish any thing he chose of any person, but
that he might publish any thing he had uttered in the
House of Commons ; and upon these grounds it was
that he had presumed to make his present application.
Lord ELLENBOROUGII said, if there belonged to this
case any question on which to raise a doubt, he should
be most noxious to grant the rule, that an opportu-
nity might be afforded for further argument ; but he
had heard nothing advanced oa which to found even
a colour for argument, except, indeed, in the unwar.
rant ible constt uction which the Counsel had put on
the opinion of Lord Kenyon, as delivered in the case
of the King v. Wright, Lord Kenyon did indeed say,
the proceeding of the House of Parliament could
never be considered as a libel. That the report of the
House for its own information could not be libellous
no one could deny ; but if such report was published
with a view to individual injury, he was dot prepared
to say such a publication could be legitimate. But
how could the present proceeding even be compared
to that of the publication of a report of the House
verbatim, as had been in the case of the King e.
Wright ? This was a speech delivered in deGate,
which the defendant had afterwards chosen to re•
publish, in what he was pleased to call a more cor-
rect form ; whether it was more or less accurate,
his Lordship said he cared not ; the only question
wai, whether the republication went to repel the ma-
lice contained fn the speech ? The speech might not
be improper in the House • but he had no right to
publish it out of doors. How could it be contended
that a proceeding in Parliament could not be libellous,
when the case of Lord Abingdon proved the contrary.
The case of Cowper v. Walter had been alluded to.
That case, he thought, should be taken with great limi-
tation; it was a doctrine, to the full extent of which he
conld not go. In the present case, the Learned Judge
had left it to the Jury to say if the publication was a
libel ; they had found it was so ; and he could see
no principle on which the Court would be warranted
in drawing the question again before the Public, and
rais;ng doubts which did not at present exist.
Mr. Justice GROSE was not inclined to find any
fault either with the Judge who directed, or the Jury
who decided. The Jury had found malice ; and he
thought they had found right.
Mr. Justice BAILEY had no doubt remaining on his
mind. Members had certainly a privilege of stand-
ing. up and speaking boldly for the ends of justice, sir
their places in Parliament; and even to throw out
imputations on individuals. without being liable to
answer for them elsewhere ; but if they were to be at
liberty afterwards to publish what they so uttered,
where might the evil stop ? He did not think they
were justified in circulating in other places what
they uttered to the injury of individuals in the House.
He could not approve of Members letting themselves
down so low as to give their speeches to Newspapers.
In the present case, it was said, there was a misre-
presentation. If it was so, there was a course laid
down, well known to the defendant. He might
have rose in his place and complained of misrepre-
sentation, and he might have had the Printer of the
Paper at the bar of the House; but he was not to
correct the error by writing. his own speech. He
saw no reason whatever for disturbing the verdict.
Mr. Justice La BLANc said, if there had appeatei
any doubt whatever on the minds of the Bench, I:c
should have been anxious for a rehearing of the cas,';
as there was not, however, he felt it his duty to say.
his opinion now was the same as that expressed at 15e

id for that purpose. Another Session has passed away, and still
so taxes have been laid—althoogh taxes alone. and those heavy
blond all example, can furnish funds equal to the redemption
of the enormous public debt they have inehrred and are incur-
ring.—lt is an acknowledged maxim, founded on reason and ex-
perience, that funds actually provided for the rzimbursement of
public loans, are essential to the establishment and support of
public credit. Those, therefore, •who lend their money to the
government without such funds and so without any security,
acting with their eyes open, will merit no consideration here-
after. Will it be said that the faith of the United States is pledged
for the repayment of the loans ? So was their faith pledged to
redeem the continental money, which Congress issued, to the
amount of two hundred millions of dollars, to carry on the war
of our revolution—a just dnd necessary war : yet that pledge was
never redeinned.

'• I shall resume this subject in another number; and upon the
facts and observations which shall be exhibited, every one will
consider whether it Is probable that the loan of sixteen millions—
and of the millions on millions which must follow, will ever be
repaid : there are abundant reasons to believe they will not.

" Sunday a British 74 came in the Delaware, and
is now about ten miles within. On Monday a frigate
anchored along side. Last night, at twelve o'clock,
two of the Cape May pilot boats were driven into
Maurice River, and captured by a boat from one of
the enemy's tenders ; they likewise took two sloops
out of the river loaded with wood. This morning
they captured a schooner. Our packet is agrouird al
Port Elitabeth. The foregoing facts have been de
posed to."

d RICHMOND, MARCH 18.

44 We understand, that the Governor has received
a letter by mail from Norfolk, dated half past eleven
on the murning of Tuesday—which states, that an ex-
press had arrived an hour before, that the enemy were
in motion, their boats filled with men. The troops in
Norfolk were under arms.

4, The same letter states, that an express had that
moment arrived, announcing that 10 boats, with 50
men each, were within a few miles of Old Point Light
House, standing towards shore ; two boats and a ten-
der were employed the day before sounding the Chan-
nel to Old Point ; that their fleet would probably be
in Hampton Reads the first lair wind, and an attack
was expected soon after.

44 Another letter from the same, written on the Bth,
states, that it was reported by a respectable American
landed from the cartel, that the Maid stone frigatc
got under weigh the day before yesterday ler Balti-
more, but sprung her bowsprit and returned.'
44 Other letters to other quarters state, that on the
9th the men were at their arms, and balls were in the
furnaces at the forts.

the Douro immediately to the left, with one army,
while the Marquis of WELLINGTON, with the main
army, will advance by the great Salamanca road.
The army is now all in motion, the cavalry and ar-
tillery going to the front. There are three very fine
battering trains, one of which will accompany the
Alai quis ~1 WELLINGTON, one General HILL'S army,
and a third is at St. Andero, from whence it will be
tidy :need upon Burgos.
The Marquis of WELLINGTON had never so fine or
strong an army—he will bring into the field 42000
British, 30,000 Portuguese, and 50,000 Spanish
troops ; and this besides the army at Alicant of thirty
t'lnusand. The Marquis of WELLINGTON had or-
dered Sir Joint MURRAY to advance with that army,
and General COOKS to make some advance from Ca.

44 This caution to the Reader, we give all we get;
not that we believe it all, but, as it may be true, wt
give it. The enemy will do something, we ought
therefore to be armed at all points—a line of tele-
graphs, or at least a line of expresses, ought immedi-
ately to be established from the great points near the
mouths of the rivers in the metropolis of Virginia."

diz with the army there, and in conjunction with
General CASTAXOS. In the mean time all the Gue-
rilla Chiefs are busy.

We are happy in being able to state, that some-
thing may now he expected of the Spanish troops;

Lord WELLINGTON has not been able to officer them
with British Officers in the same manner as•the Por-

tuguese army is, and by which means the latter has
been brought to such a pitch of perfection ; but he
has accomplished one grand matter—the regular
payment of the Spanishtroops. It is notorious that
though the contributions were regularly levied on the
people in Spain for the payment of their armies,
the soldier was almost always without any pay, and
illerefore obliged, when he could do it, to take every
thing he wauted. This had the worst effect on the
s.ildier, and left the people always discontented, in
fact it made them careless whether they had a Trench
or 3pauish army quartered on them. The Marquis
now himself sees that the Spanish soldier is paid as
well as cloathed, and makes the officers responsible
that the men receive their cloathing and pay.
We also learn, that since Sir Jon Muanav assu-

shed the command at Alicant, he has brought that

army into an excellent state, and that SucilE•r will
not attempt to hold his ground when Sir JOHN ad-
vances. Sir JOHN MURRAY is brother to the late Sir
instEs PULTENEY, and, like the illustrious WuraNc-
l'oN, he learned the art of war on a large scale in
India, having served with his Lordship and Marshal
133iitsfoaco in all their campaign; there.
