-t, while it continued in force, spewed, after
':
.se:...tion, by their suhseeteent conduct, that their
4,:ev7or. was just and p litic. As soon as the Bills
,oited,tliey met, endeavoured to propagate their old
..c.7ii et, c-kboited their liberation as a triumph,
'tank the he rich el Bonaparte, and returned to their
,curter reeth.oLls of creating disaftecti,m and sedition.
1.e.• of then-, had Proceeded to such et iminal excesses

,..ced (ally eta, and increases Audacity. One of the
c. r, i Its, tiow au popular and so stangel out., held by
t.:SFenCeans, was then endravouved to Ire propa-
yl
eafi ard• was coneected with the Reformers. The
I:ctve formerly had both passed the ..Cusrension Act
0 t itepurt of their Committee, and, when the Act
wired, had justified all that was done under it, by
rrlntolg a Bill of indemnity.
?Jr. LOCKHART did not with to follow the
honorable Gehileman*(Mr. Ctoweii) into the de-
talie of his speech; but he declares: that the atrocious
p.• ee.s disclosed. in the Report of the Secret Com-
e ) 1.
millet induced him most cordially to give his sop.
rmt :o the Suspension Bill now before the house,
r!idi was the only rums of preventing the re:iliza-
vei of these projects. The Report stated, that en-
dc.tvours were made to undermine all the principles
et m'srality and religion. Now if the Suspension Bill
would work a temporary change in the Constitution,
may this was trifling ;impaled with the change
Olt would be effmted in the condition of society, by
erasing from the minis of the people all 'sentiments
of honesty and feelings of piety. If immorality and
atheism should gain a footing here, they would not
stop, but would extend to the other hemisphere, and
overturn all one Indian and foreign establishments.
Attempts were made by artful min to drive the people
to desveration, by taking adiaittige of their sufferings,
and to inspire them with an aversion to those who
were disposed to alleviate their sufferings—(Hear.)
The prayer is lead us not into temptation," which
sbould always be repeated, was forgotten or despised.
Led the bwer classes were taught to look up to the
pluni:er, and not the charity, of the rich, as the
means of relief. The intention of the public agita-
tors was to destroy all law, and to produce general
spoliation.. We bad great examples before us : the
corruption of the Court of France led to the expul-
sion and the misfortunes of its dynasty—the anarchy
and•ruin of the people were produced by the demo-
r4izing doctrines .which gained the ascendancy in
their revolution. If the House was to neglect the
warning of this example, :he page of history might
be read in vain. The Honourable and Learned Gen-
tlenien supported die Bill, and hoped he should gain
that credit fur sincerity and good ietentioa which was
claimed by those who opposed it.
Mr. MA R itYAT was of opinion, that if the dan-
gers set forth by the Honourable and Learned Gen-
tle:nan (M•. Lockhart) really existed, the suspension
el the Habeas Corpus Act was not the means of at-
testing their progress. if he ( Mr. Marryat) could
see the d Inger in the same light and magnitude as
the Honourable. Gentleman, and conceived that the
Execntive could only overcome or destroy it by an
increase of power over the liberty of the subject, lie
would not hesitate cue moment to grant the Minis-
ters what they claimed, and to support the present
measure. The danger, however, he thought was
much overrated, and the ieniedy more alarming than
the dani,er itself. Comparing the dangers of the coun-
try to a storm, and the State to a vessel tossed in it, the
Hon. Gent. gave it as his opinion that we might ride
onethe tempest without throwing out our sheet anchor.
Tue people were more alarmed by the interference of
Parliament titan before. This measure would afford
Med for discontent, and thus aid the cause it was in-
tended to extinguish. Government and Parliament
bad already sunk in the opinion' of the people, and
the passing of such an unnecessary and arbitrary Act
would increase their distrust, and alienate farther their
affections. The time daring which this Act was in-
tended to be in force, instead of rendering it less ex-
ceptionable, was, in his mind, a sufficient objection
against its adoption. While Parliament was sitting,
it might legislate on any cases .ot emergency. Had
we been near the period of a prorogation, it might
have been necessary to have armed Ministers with in-
creased powers during the succeeding recess.
The SPEAKER then left the Chair, and the House
went into a Committee. The Bill wai committed and
reported. Ordered to be read a third time to-morrow.
The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of.
I lee seditious Meeting Prevention Bill was ordered to be read
a second time on Monday.—Adjouroed.
