be Yarned again to t4Rsport, and especi.dly to tl.e
concluding points, where is was truly and candidly
submitted. that the great body of the people were
loyal and well disposed ; and after such an admis-
sion. he at least felt much surprised that such an
, obnoxious measure as that in question should be

proposed.
The Earl of WESTMORLAND defended, not
only the pertietilar measure under consideration, but
the` general conduct of his Majesty's Government,'
ever shift the last paciScation, and with respect to
the present momentous situation of the country. The
measure in qoestion, instead of being hostile to, he
contended, would uperate for the security—nay, pre-
servation, of the British Constitution. The great
body of the People, as well as large Majorities of
both Houses of Parliament, decidedly approved of
the line of conduct pursued by his fstije.ty's Mini-
vers. They had, since the Peace, reduced the Esta-
blishments to the very lowest pitch—and reduced !he,
Public Expenditure, and consequent Taxation, in
that period, beyond any former exatnple. They
could not (as they appeared to be blamed for) force'
IC nnmercial 'nestles on all the Nations of Europe.
How entail they, AS it's known Deliverers, appear in
the eyes at these Nations, if they attempted to do so ?
At this part& the Nook Lord's speech, -
The Earl of DONOUGHNIdItIi rose to order,
conceiving the Noble Earl to be going into matter
entirely it relevant to the questign order consideration.
The. Earl of WESTMORLA ,I 1) expressed his
conviction ut the necessity of the dol.
The Duke-ot BEDFORD ohs:. ved, that the cir-
cumstance he had allUded to h.. slid not take from
any Newspaper report, but had it trom All authority
which he respected, and entertained no doubt of
the fact.

Viscount SIDMOUTII tould assure their Lord-,
ships, lie had never heard of such a circumstance
before, until he heard it from the Noble Duke thin
evening.
The Earl of DONOLTGH MORE opposed the Bill,
and went into it detailed examination of the, Report,
animadverting thereon as he proceeded, with a view
to illustrate his opinion, that no necessity existed
whatever for the measure now before the House. In
the course of his speech, he enforced and expatiated
upon the leading points urged by the Noble Duke,
and particularly in that which referred to the situa-
tion of Ireland. He contended that the Speech of
the Noble Earl was no answer to that of his Noble
Friend. He, indeed, endeavoured, but ineffatually,
to pick holes in that speech. He' should himself. it
present at the time, have even opposed the first Sus-
pension Bill ; but its proposed continuance he could
not think of countenancing for a minuet. Ministers
had brought the whole strength of their case against•
a person lately tried before a public tribunal, and
him, with all the advantages they possessed, they
were unable to convict—and they gave up the ease
wins' the other persons accused. Corpling this
with their own admission of the general loyalty and
Rood disposition of the English people, fie was asto-
nished et the proposition of such a measure. With
respect to their vaunted triumphs, he might contend
that eventually it was over Eugland itself they
triumphed, and still more so over the general CaUlll
or Liberty ! With respect to the employment of
spies and informers, and resting measures of vital
importance upon their information, he thought ex-
actly with his Noble .Friend who opened the debate
and with respect to the case of Ireland, though it
was nut to be oppressed by the present measure, still
a law was proposed for it, through which its natives
m:ght be transported without a trial by Jury. In
the course of the latter part of his speech, the Noble
Lord animadverted upon the promotion, and what
he deemed the too great encouragement given to a
person who had been implicated in the Irish Rebel-
lion, 'and had afterwards turned an approver and in-
former. This person was afterwards much befriend-
ed and promoted by his Majesty's Government, and,
as at was said, was appointed to be even the repre-
sentative of his Majesty in a particular place.
The Earl of LIMERICK rose, chiefly in refe-
rence to what the last Noble Speaker had said, re-,
specting the favour shewn to II certain person. That
Gentleman, Ile (Lord Limerick) observed, had ren-
dered the most essential and important services to his
country, as was well known to a Noble Marquis :hen
at the head of the Irish Government, and ,a Noble
Earl now high in office, who acted as his Secretary.
Born a Gentleman of fortune and good talents, he
became embarrassed, and unhappily lent an ear to
the delusions of the Chiefs of the rebellious conspi-
racy in England. But soon finding out that their real
objects were massacre, confiscation, and separation
from England, and the establishment of a Jacobin
Republic, he repeated of his conduct, and made
amends, by making discoveries of the greatest im-
portance, which all turned out to bare been well
toundesl. All this be did without fee. without pro-
mise, or expectation of reward. He saved his coun-
try to England, and from the fangs of a sanguinary .
and atrocious conspiracy—(Hear, hear).—He de-
emed well of the country, and Government did
well in protecting him. While afterwards employed
at Lisbon, he conducted himself with the greatest
propriety. With respect to a recent promotion of
that Gentleman, he believed it tow be nothing like a
Representative of his Majesty, but as a Resident
at a :species of Vice-Court, and ,in an insular pos-
session—(Near, Hear).
The Earl of ESSEX observed, that the species of
persons who were regarded by himself and bib Noble
Friends with so much reprobation, cane nearer to
the denomination of ,6 blood men," as Castle and
Oliver y and men of a different description 'from the
person alluded to by the Noble Earl. His Lordship
adverted to a circumstance of 'cruel aggravation on
the part of Oliver, who wished a wite to persuade
her husband to attend at a certain place, where if he
had gone, be would have become Oliver's victim.
The Marquis of CAMDEN stated the case as far
as within his knowledge or recollection, of the Gen-
' *man (Mr. Reynolds) alluded to by two Noble
Earls, which went fully to.corroborate the statement
of the Earl of Limerick. That Ginitleman made his
communicatien at the Castle of Dublin, perfectly vo-
luntarily and self-moved, and seemed to be, actuated
solely by contrition and repentance from having en-
gaged with -a set of men whose objects was so san-
guinary, traitorous, and detestable. His discoveries
were of the highest importance ; and upon his evi-
dence, duly corroborated, the principalki%thAt [OA.-
lion were convicted, and by that means a.c gesmest
