law sufficient to check the progress of seditious pub-
lications? Were there not instances daily of persons
being convicted before Courts, who, in the very teeth
of that conviction, continued the sale of the ea-
noxious work, and even raised their profits in the
ratio as they were prosecuted ? What then could
Courts of Justice do? The law upon which they
acted wai oT itself irisufficieut to punish the crime.
Every distinct publication was a distinct offence, for
which the -offender subjected himself to the punish-
ment of fine and imprisonment. Where then was
the life long.enough to expiate the ten thousand of-
fences, which are multiplied, as copies of the work
were sent in cart-loads from the bookseller's sh?p.
Here was the anomaly which it Was expedient to cor-
rect. In the scale of crime every first offence was
. venial, but a repetition of it was naturally a great
aggravation ; when, by a forgiveness of the first,
mild measures were unable to reclaim, it then
became necessary to put it out of the power of the
delinquent to go on in the commission of the of-'
fence. As to the insinuation that it was because it!
was suspected Juries did not do their duty, that the
second offence was so much aggravated, he would
answer, that for his own part, from the experience
he had had of Juries, he was convinced they did'
their duty. But whether they did or not that would
have no influence upon him in the discharge of his
duty as a Member of Parliament. The Noble and
Learned Lord concluded by asking the House if they
thought, under the present system of restriction upon
the licentiousness of the Press, the Constitution would
be handed down to posterity in its purity ? if they
did it would not be necessaryto adopt any new mea-
sures, otherwise it was absolutely necessary to throw
up some new fences, and guard that invaluable bul-
wark against the inroads of facti9us and designing
men—(Hear).
Earl GREY began by referring to the trial of Mr.
Hone for. his Parodies, and repeated the opinion he
had before given, that he thought the prosecution
most injudicious, and the verdict of the Jury as it
ought to be. He declared, that he thought that
Gentleman es innocent of any intention of bringing
religion into disrespect, by that publication, as those
persons who parodied Shakspeare, were of bring-
ing the immortal Poet into disrespect. He had said
the prosecution was injudicious, because he was sure
if Mr. Hone had been charged with having pub-
lished a seditious, in place 0f a blasphemous libel, he
would have been convicted. But this, he added,
was very immaterial to the question now before their
Lordships. The Noble Lord'then, after saying, that
however feeble his opposition might be, he would
still raise his voice for the People, went on to com-
bat some of the positions laid down by the Noble
and Learned Lord on the Woolsack. That Noble
Lord had said, that it was no evil to leave a discre-
tionary power with the Judges, and that, because
they had the power of punishing by the pillorefbe-
fore, that it was no evil pow to enlarge that discre-
tion. He would ask, was it no light matter to put it
in the power of a Julge tk,send a man, any man in
the State, chained down in a transport ship, to Bo-
tany Bay ? He allowed that sedition was a serious
crime, and that it ought to be punished very se;
verely ; but the greatest fault in the Bill was, that it
left the term seditious libel, undefined. A libel was
in its nature extremely difficult to be ascertained, for
what was at one time supposed to be an effort of pa-
triotism, at another time would be accounted libel-
lous. its character would vary with all times, and
it was very likely, at no distanctime, that Ministers
would prosecute for libel on Governinent—a libel
on themselves. He differed greatly from those No-
ble I,lprds, who apprehended so much mischief
from blasphemous publications ; for it appearc;
to him, that the people of England, being a religi-
ous people, it would be a surer road to notoriety for
any one who •was ambitious of fame, to obtain it.
by rennin into the extreme of fanaticism, than by
a ;eel in blasphemous writing. To spew how really
unpopular these writings were, he alluded to what
had happened within aim days, when an individual
(Mr. Cobbett) thought fit to disclaim all connection
with the doctrines of Mr. Paine, and who declared
he had never read his works. He then referred to
what hid fallen from the Noble and Learned Lord
on the Woolsack, as to the severity of the laws, if
they were enforced ; and asked, were they not suffi-
cient for All the purposes of suppressing these sedi-
tious publications? Was Government never attacked
before, or. was it in a worse situation than at the time of
the &volution, when there were plots of assassination
farming against William the Third, and of Rebellion
against the Government? Yet our ancestors trusted
for their preservation to the ordinary effects of the
laws Which were then in force, without thinking of
adding new force to them. On the contrary, that
was the time that the-Statute regarding high treason
wet passed, which the Noble ./..ord so much eulo-
gized. He again wished to impress upon the House,
that the lams at present in force, were quite adequate
to the suppression of seditious publications. He de-
sired their Lordships to look to the example of
Carlile, who was nqvf suffering in prison on a charge
of that nature, and who, from the prospect of bks
being unable to procure bail, was likely to lie there
'a lora& time ; and he would ask, as that a light
punishment? This was not the only instance; and_
under such circurnstancer, was there a necessity for'
making encroachments on the law as it at resent'
stood, and of legislating
.for a permanent measure''
or. the spur of the occasion? He regretted to see'
that this Was but a continuation of a system that had
teal long going on, of gradually increasing, on every-
. e nergency, the powers of the Crown at the espense-
cfpopular liberty. He would ask, was that the way,

• The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, that it Was ado
mitted on all hands, that there was great neceseity for
suppressing these irreligious publications, which were
calculated to sap the principles of the -wbolo,coal--
munity. The Noble Earl, who had just sat doom,
said there was no danger. to be apprehended frous
blasphemous publications so long as the People of
England continued to be.religious ; but he would ask,
how long that would be, if these publications had
been suffered to keep their march uninterrupted ?.
The Noble Lord, he added, had not argued fairly'io
comparing the lenity of the law in past times, in rag
Bard to libel, to what it now was ; for compared
with the extent and influence of the libels now cis-,
culated, the libels of ,former times were no evil at
all. He begged their Lordships to see. how, by the
cheapness of the price, and the extent of the publica.
tunas, the reading ot libellous matter, was in a mari-
ner at every man's door. The facility of cbming at
these increased the demand for themrand this, again,
extended by the progressive increase of knkiwledge;
some fifty or sixty years ago, half the nation knew
not what was doing. The doors of Parliament were
shut against.the Public ; but, at the present day, not
only are the Bills which go through both Houses in
the course of the night, but the very debates and re-
marks which arise out of them, before the Public in
the morni. The Noble Lord had made light of
the effect of irreligious publications ; but he would
ask him to look to their influence in the early days
of the French Revolution ! There, for the first time,
arose a sect of men professedly without religion ;
and it was because these men became leaders, that
that Revolution was so much more sanguinary than
the civil wars in this country, where the leaders
either had some religion, or were obliged, in cow-
pliance,with the prejudices of the times, to put on
the semblance of it—(Hear, !sear, hear). If ever
there was danger of despotism in this country, he
contended, it could only spring from this licentious-
ness, and these blasphemous publications—(Heer).—
The Noble Lord, after some more remarks, took oc-
casion to deny that a Reform in the other House
,Could cure all the evils under which the People are
now said to labour. He would ask what influence
it could possibly have in making defendants, after
they had been convicted of libel-, persevere in pub-
lishing them, and in exciting the Public to make up
large subscriptions for these individuals? He was
always of opinion that the Press was at once the
greatest blessing or curse of a country,, in propor-
tion as it was well or ill used : when prostituted to
iseditious purposes; he still continued to think, no of-
lento could be greater; and it was upon this.account
be voted for the present Bill. At the same time,
when be considered' that the Courts were still left' at
discretion of apportioning the punishment as the of-
fence appeared more or fess.aggravated, be thought,
br such a course, while the licentiousness of the
Press was likely to be corrected, at the same time
the ends of justice could not be disappointed—(Herr).
The Earl of CARNARVON, spoke against the.
Bill. He excepted to it chiefly on the ground, that
to meet a temporary inconvenience, a permanent
measure was enacted by it. After some remarks, he
declaied an intention of proposing in the Committee,
that it should have but a short duration. He con-
cluded by desiring the House to consider the claims
which posterity had upon them to hand down the
Constitution inviolate.

The Earl of BLESSINGTON said, that he viewed,
with great jealousy, the measures before the House,
'because they proceeded from the Noble Secretary
opposite. Their Lordships ought to Amor that Podia
ment was not only assembled to protect the Govern-
meat of the Country, gni the nghts of the Prince
Regent, but also those of the People, and to listen
to the distinct expression of existing grievances, that
they might be able the more certainly to relieve
them—(Near, hear).
The Duke of SUSSEX said, that until Ministers
had shewn that the priesest' laws for the suppression
of blasphemous and 'editions publications were in-
significant, he could not vote for new ones. His,
Royal Highness observed, that he entirely agreed
with t})m in the principles of the other Bills now
before the House, but to this he would !live a decided
negat i
After a few-words from Lord HOLLAND, the Bill
was ordered to be committed for to-morrow (this day),
and the Report to be received on Thursday next.
REARM FOR ARMS SILL.

Upon the Motion ciflised Viscount' SIDMOUTH,
for recetvink.4be Report of the Committee on the
*arch for Arms Bill,
Earl GREY rose to-make some observations upon
the principle of the Bill. He observed, that the
.power given by it to enter the houses of individuals,
ht night, in search of -arms; was very exceptional:oW
;Weed. It was the right of every British subject to'
keep arms by him, as well for the protection of hie
life and property against plunderers and assassins, its
also to resist oppression. There was not evidence,
enough, he contended, to warrant such a measure as
this.' He denied that people in the country, with
*born he was acquainted, were in possession of arms
- the puhrse stated, of levying war against the
though perhaps it was true that they
laving retained them since they had
volunteers. With regard to the state-

whom it was directed, that it would operate

Bill passed: into a law, the disaffected would have
time to remove them ; whereat those who kept.them

The Earl of STRATHMORE said, he had had
Iletter from awo Magistrates of the County of Dur-
ham, to whom Colonel French, the Military Com-
mander there, had applied for an additional armed
force to suppress the rising which be dreaded. colo-
nel French's letter was also inclosed, it being ,ad:
dressed to Adam Askew, Esq. and Mr. Collinson,
Chairman, Btc. and expressed an apprehension that
the whole populatidn was disaffected. He also read
a letter, which, speaking of the Radicals, said, that
lout of every 14,000 of them, 13,900 had no other
object than universal plunder :
" Dolls instrnetas et arte Pelasga!"
These accounts, with the papers on the table, andthei
fit'ct of arms being in the hands of lo many inslividgals,
were a sufficient warrant for the measures •JIGWINAKe'
;the Holise. In regard to the Noble Earl's bretborp
he observed, that it did not appear he had yet re-.
turned to his house, which was a proof that he did not
think the alarm had entirely subsided. His Lordship
concluded with hoping that he might never have to
say, in the language of the Poet, in quoting which he
would take the liberty of substituting a word—
" $i teens non lax/thaws,
d Anglia mine stares !"
The Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND explained
the sources from whence he had the information
upon which he had made tke statement on a former
night.
igarl GREY said,.be must have factsand proofs
before he could believe that the People wished to sub.
vert the Government, or to destroy the State; and
the 4 could be obtained only through inquiry.
The Earl of STRATHMORE said, that this spirit
prevailed on both sides the River.
Lord ERSIUWE objected to this Bill, prinFipally
on the ground that a person could have no redress,
against any one injuring him in a search for arms, by
an action at law.
The Report was agreed to, ind the Bill ordered
to be read a third time to-morrow (this day). ' '

The Report on the Training 'prevention Bill w
also received, and the Bill was ordered to he iead a

The House then adjouined at Eleven o'Clock.
