Last night the Committee of ftivileger, appointed
to :catch for ptecedcnts as to the mode of enforcing I
t: .e attendance of Peers on the second reading of the
relative to the Quus, presented their Report.
The Resolutions recommended by the Comniittee
were agreed to by the House, by which Peers failing
to attend on the three first days are to be fined
£lOO for each day on which they shall be absent;
znd J:5O for every day's absence during the re-
mtindtr of the proceedings, excepting Pe:ms of the
;age of 70 years, or who are sick, or who were abroad
on the 10th of July.

Mr. WETHERELL'S Motion, in the Commons, re-
succting The Western Lutnincry, for its offensive
expressions respecting the (bans, was withdrawn
last night, on the understanding that the libel bad
not escaped the eye of the Arroauty-GENERAL.—
The foul language employed by the Press on the
other side—and of which some gross and disgusting
specimens were quoted—also received a well-met ited
expression of the detestation of the House. To such
abuses of the liberty of the Press we are indebted
for the existence of restraints which never have ope-
rated nor ever will operate to deter the licentious ;
but only to drive from the periodical Press men of
pris.cyle and talent, and to prevent such from em-
bat king in its labours. Every opportunity, furnished
by such licentious libellers, is eagerly seized on by
the enemies of sound discussion, and-made a pretext
for father inroads on this bulwark of the liberties of
a fre?... country.
It well be questioned, whether the notice in
Parli...rient of such foul and impious trash as fre-
quently appears in some obscure publications be not
productive of great evil,. by giving it, in the reports
of the proceedings, a currency and circulation which
it could never otherwise obtain? By long observa-
tion, we are convinced that this is unquestionably
the fact; and that it would be much better, when
any Member happens to meet with an article whiCh
he may be persuaded deserves a srecial notice of re-
probation, were-he privately to point it out to the
nCtice of the ATTORNEY-GENERAL : and even in some
detestable instances, it would be well, before pro-
ceeding, to consider (which the ATTORNEY-GENE.
m would certainly do), whether public morals
ould not, if the publication be an obscure ore, suffer
a wound, from the publicity necessarily given to libels
and slanders .by a prosecution, which would more
than counter balance any benefits which. might be
expected to result from the conviction and punish-
ment of the offenders.
