The ATIORNST GitiltiAL oOntelnkde that the
meal ure now under the conaderation of the Man
Was one which was not (elicited by thofe in whore
favour it might lccm to be propofed; but that it
was one which was called for. and jallifted by a
due regard to the public fecurity. The Learned'
Gentleman then pent into a jutlificatiou of the.
manner, and of the perfons in and of which the
Committee of Seciecy was compofed, and depre-
cated the treating as matter fo ferious and mo-
mentous as ludicrous, and of no importance to the
country. The difeicifure of the machinations
which came: oat at Maidtlone fhould admonilh
fotne‘gesultmeaAtainft too much credulity in
linening to the eflions of men calling them-
Alves friends of Liberty, and of the Conffitution.
•=--Tbat credulity, in the infiance he alluded to,
could not but be regarded as the thipwreck of the
political reputation of the party who oppoled Go-
vertmiene on all there occafions. In his mind it
wat t‘ecefary to keep in force the meafures and pre-
eautions which had this night been Co much de-
claimed againft, as long as the prefent convulfions
of Euro continued.
Mr. UT, in reply, among other things
hatob-
ferved, the meafure was not junified by any
of the precedents urged in its tapport. The Ail
of 1746 nut limited to indemnity for alts done
within the'preceding rebellion. of 174 e; and the
bill of 1714 did not refer to Minifters, but only to
the inferior officers ailing under them.
Mr. Titer/Er was of opinion that the Bill now
before the Idoule had no foundation in any prin.
ciple of Englifh jurifprudence, and that if it was
tainted to, it would prove a difgrace to the Jour-
nals of the Mule. As to the alruflons to the evil.
dente given at Maine:one, he, for one, was al.
ways ready to junify what he himfelf had then of-
firmed ; but he was alfo prepared to fay, that
fince the confefilon of Mr. ()'Connor, he had ems
tertained a very different opinion. If the Learned
Gentleman thought otherwife, he had only to wills ,
that he would fpeak out. As to the precedents
brought forward in fupport cf the Bill, he fhould
pay no regard to them : they did not in any fhape
apply ; and in every refpedt he felt himfelf julti-
fied in oppofing the Bill.
Mr. GREY in explanation obferved that the doc-
trine laid down by the Learned Gentleman was
not imputable to him, but feemed to proceed from
a with on,the part-of that Learned Gentleman to
fubtlitute the old Conftitution of France, in roots
of that in which England gloried. and which Ile
had heretofore enjoyed.
Mr. W. Swirl; Paid, he could not give a filet
. vote upon the fubjea. He confidered it to be the
bufinefs of Spies and Informers to difcover crimes,
and net to punifh them. He was willing to allow
fuch men might be neceffary to the fecnrity of the
State, .but when perfons were confined for years in
confequence of their information it became matter
of ferious enquiry. He thought this was an in-,
demnity for men poffeffed of power and influence,
while thole who had been the fufferers, and who
were perhaps friendlefs and unproteftel, remained
without any profpeit of indemnification. The Bill
met with his decided difapprobation.
Sir W. Pt/LTV/11Y admitted the neceffity ofpre-
venting a difclofure of certain tburcet of informa-
tion which might be fatal to the conutry, bat de-
precated the inifchievons effea of the precedent
which the prefent meafure would eflablith. It was
an'unfortuuate dilemma, and the difficulty was
great. The remedy which appeared to his judg-
ment the bell was, to indemnify the late Milliners
during the wat, and only during that period, fince
no danger could at its termination be apprehended
ncf difclofure. He thought they might then be
ft to defend any a.9ions brought against them
the fair ground of jußification, which they
no doubt poffelled.
• 'The SOLICLTOI4 Genital. laid, he principally
withed to combat the propofition of the Honour-
able Baronet, which, however plaufible it might
appear, was ill calculated to anfwer the intended
purpofe. It would be reconciled, that during the
war the means of defence might be dellroyed ;
witneffes might die ; and at the end of that period,
thofe whom it was withed to protea might be
left without any means of defence againft what.
ever aftions might be brought againft them ;
added to which, ailions for trefpafs, or falfe im-
prifooment, could only be brought within four
yetis sifter the cattle of ailion had occurred. As
collie Bill preventing any one from justifying his
fair fame, it was well known no jollification of
that kind could take place under an anion of
this nature; for if the Defendant could prove
he ailed upon a legal information, whether that
. information was true or falfe, there wet an end
of all further proceeding, the Defendant being
fully jotlified in•the contemplation of law.—
He thought it was in vain arguing the quenion
now before the Houfe, 'lance no alteration could be
made by argument in the opinion of either fide
of the Houk. The one ridiculed and difregarded
all the Reports brought forward, treating them as

The Pruffian Government is likely to derive
limner advantages from the banithment of the
deluded Irifh, which this country reaped from the
wife revocation of the Edia of Nants. Thofe peo.
pie, inftead of being made Soldiers, as was mime-
ed, were carefully examined as to their qualifica-
tions, and &minted with the kinds of employment
to which they had been refpettively. bred. The

were fent to Silefia, where, we are afured, the ex.
ample of their (kill and induftry has already pro.
duced a vifible improvement in the linen mannal

In our Paper of Thurfday, we copied 'an ac-

became our duty to make enquiries re peeing the'
whole account, and we find that every afertionln
that paragraph was &nuked in mifreprafantation.
The entertainment in queftion was mad. nesaark-

it as hardly neeefary to Cap that his manners were
on that night, as ufual,tramently polite and ant*.
tive. To thole who know him not, we hive au-
thority to fay, that in the account profefed to be
given of the manner in which he received his vii,.',

On Thurfday morning, about five o'clock, a man
