POLICE IN InFLAND.

Mr. PLEL adverted to two Acts, passed in the
Session oi 1814, for strengtlit'flim lialds of the
Civil Power, by establishing an taicient Police. if
1w was called on to say what coul 1 tranquilize Ir.:-
land, he should state, ant flicient civil power. It was
true, that the Courts of Justice were known in that
..cnntry as in England, but the Goverment had n
the aid of an interior police. The means which the
Government possessed now, of apprehending offers.
dens, and detecting crimes, was by the use of a mili-
tary force, at no time a very desirable object for the
civil power to call in aid .rtlb therefore, he could at
a less expense employ an etgicient civil power to
npress illicit distilMfes, he tAtAight he should meet
the wishes of the House ; loilt must Le an odious
task to the heroes of Watetfoo, to be employed in

superintending Magistrate over disturbed d;stricts,
and invest tie Government wiqt powers to impose
fines in certain cases, and to give relief in others.
With respect to the introduction of a Police is

without providing a sufficient remuneration for a set.-
v• of so much hazard and danger. Now, with re-
spect to the operation of ibe Habeas Corpus Suspen-
ion Act, and the other restrielive measure*, they
would not operate in Ireland; and it WA) int-lided to
vd.dce the military establishment in t'lat country
from twenty-five thousand to twenty•two thousitail
men, and vaiii,its other redu:tions, which, in point dt
expense, would make the exchange, in respect to pro-
tecting the laws and carrying them into effect by
means of a vigorous Police, more desirable ; Ind for
waist ofaltat efficient Police he should be .compelled
for the presen• SesSion to move fur leave to introduce
an Insutrection Bill. The Might Honourable Gen-
tleman then moved Jo: Peeve to bring in a Bill to
amend the Stiii of the King, with a view to engraft
ol it a Po ice system.
S.: .1. NEWPORT .ridded: His testimony as to the
general good government of Ireland in respect to
tr.r;quillizing that country. With respect to the pre-
sent motion, he must congratulate the House on the
principle of the 818, which was strictly Constitutional,
the great object to be attained by it would have the
effect of affording protection to the peasantry, who
had found it so valuable, that though they paid tot
that protection, they did it cheerfully. The exchange
of Constables for the Military wools induce a return
to that path of duty which Vie people of England so
well tws, how to tread. He entirely concurred in
the motion.
Atter some•observations in support of the motion,
from Mr. CAKIW, Mr. CHICIIESTIA, and Mr. V.
Firz-
octiacu, leave was given to bring in the Bill.
• The Report of the Committee of Supply on the
Army Estimates. was brought•up, and the Resolu-
tions were agreed to. •
• Mr. CA I.CRA FT said if the force continued after
Vesater Attie amount of 140,000 men, he should think
rais Way to move for a re.tuction of that amount.
.to Sanwa to a question Odom Mr. CintwEN, with
respect to a particular iirm in the Unfunded Debt,
of 115,300,(XX), the CHANCILLOR 01 the EXCHEQUER
stated, that it was explained in the miscellaneous
items that that sum was for Bills provided ter by Par-
liament, but not before paid off.
Mr.. CA LC RAFT said, it was a lamentable thing
to see money so flush in the market, while our ma-
nufacturers were complaining of the want of trade,
and the employment of it in facilitating commercial
intercourse.
The CHANCELLOR of tie tXCHEQUER
observed, that commercial prosperity was beginning
to revive—the natural tendency and progress of events
would prole it. There was le:beady a very avjous
revival of credit throughout the country.
The Report et the Seditious Assemblies Bill was
brought up.
Sir J. NEWPORT asked whether this Bill ex-
tended to Ireland ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
declared that it did not.
Sir J. NEWPORT then said, it ought to be so
declared in the Bill, because doubts were entertained
on the subject; and if nothing was done to prevent
the Societies, whether" Orange or not, froM
sing the country, he should propose a clause to that
effect on the third reading.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
had rip objection to the introduction of the clause.
The Report was then agreed to, and the Bill or-
dered for a third reading on Fridley.
The Mutiny Bill and the Marine FOICCe Regulation Bill wtre
read a Roe time.

Friend (Sir G. Warrender) would move a suns on account of the

COMMOTION AT MANCHESTER.
Ir The Mail of this morning has brought some singu-
lar details from Manchestekresptcting popular move-
ments, which savour mores #f insanity than of any
thing else. After a Meeting fin: Reform on the 3d

Colliers, who some tinse-sgo set off with two 'arts of
coals for the purpose of dragging them to Carlton
House, it was intended to have another 'netting,
previous to which the people were to supply them-'
salves with blankets and other articles necessary for
bivouacking on the road, and after which the whole
wore to set off on " a journey to London." The re-
port gained but liule credit till Saturday last, when
she (allowing bill was posted throughout Manchester :
