ndttt 'bed ;1;14 stated, 'that i Judge.
-.ridsum up thdetvidence fairly. What he cone;
of was, that the Learned Judge,'onthe &ca.
:Ito, of his trial, had not acted onthis principle. he
betstated the facts in an unquatfied or distorted
row to the Jury. The Honnureble and Learned
.Geteteman opposite had declared, that there was
pec of theehafges which stated any specific crimi-
targy, and that consequently they ought to be dis.
Towed as unimportant and nivolous. This was cer-
iinly a misrepresentation of the nature of the accu-
•seeens on the table of the House. They advanced
the serious charge of injustice, which he was prep 4 al
substantiate by evidence at the bar of the House,
14
if permitted. He was anxious for nothing.so much
so Wog fotwatd evidence to prove all the allege-
*. be had advanced. The Hon. Gentleman (Mr.
Lao, he thought, bad stepped in rather injuriously
,etereets his noble relative and the proposed inquiry,
it he believed him innocent of the charges brought
oat him. He (Lord Cochrane) had been ac-
too of claiming privileges, as a Member of Parlia-
-see, that no other person beyond the walls of the
e enjoyed. This he (Lord Cochrane) denied.
Ael subject, if aggrieved, as he had keen, might
his charges through the medium of a Memberate 4,
parliament against the Judge from whose miscon.'
Jobe suffered. (Here the Noble Lord begged the
laialgence of the House, while he made a Jew ob-
‘,:eseratiens on several of the different charges.) The
44barge was said by several Honourable Mem.
busto contain no matter of accusation at all—that
Ike Aviv had right to exercise his discretion with
,ward to the period of adjournment, and that the ad-
ntment actually took place at the most favourable
aim for the accused. In the justness of this opinion
could ley no meals agree. TherCpunsel he em.
..pleyed were the best judges of their own situation,
sad • they complained that they were so exhausted
tat they could not proceed at the late hour in which
they were called upon to commence, with any hope
*A Wog able to do justice to their client. The Jury,
too, were in such a state of stupefaction, that they
.could scarcely hold up their heads, and were perfectly
vnAlike to exercise their minds in comparing the evi-
dence on which their verdict was to rest. The Judge
had assigned an artificial motive, for his desire to pro-
ceed in this exhausted state both of the Counsel add
the Jury, namely, that it was necessary to examine
certain official characters who were then in Court,
and whose time could not be spared on any other
day from- their Adel duties. He called this mo-
tive artificial, as these persons were not examined.
--The conduct of the Noble and Learned Judge de.
leered a harsher epithet, although he had chosen to
etpress his sense of it in this mild manner. If the Jury
belleen able to attend to their duty they must have
seen the distorted nature of the statements before
them at the summing up of the evidence. Quotin).?,
a part of the charge to the Jury, which said teat the
plot of the conspirators was formed, not so much to
• acquire a fortune, as to preveiit their ruin, the Nahle
Lord remarked, that the allegation was talse, as ail
his own losses would not have ~mounted to more than
a shilling in the pound of his gains. Tile Noble
Lord likewise denied many other assertions made by
the beeped judge on his trial. It had been stated
:that many Affidavits were now offered which were not
before the Court when the trial was ist progress.—
'llls he denied—net one document was now offered
was.not then produced. It had been said, that
by entering into the consideration of the present
charges, the House became responsible for their vali-
dity. The slightest reflection would shew the futility I
of this opinion. The House was no more responsible
for entertaining this motion than any other motion
visa& by any other Honourable Member. It was
Asoldly stated by the Chief Judge, that De Berenger
• bad bad no time to shifthimsell at bielodgings ; and
let the fact was, that he had remained there at least
la hour. The suppression of this circumstance, and
' Abet of the portnitimau, would alone furnish matter
crimination against she Noble Judge. He must
conclude by begging earnestly that the evidence
which he was prepared to produce should be heard at
the bar of the House. If refused, he zooid assure
them, that-he should -never cease to pursue the object
.of investigation until all the facts of the cast should
be fully brought to light.
The House then divided on the question of enter-
taining the Charges.
For the question, t.—Against it, So.—Majority, as.
Mr. PONSONBV then rose for the purpose of
correcting some mistakes into which the Noble Lord
had fallen. He believed no man in that House had
given any opinion on this subject without due consi.
deration. He (Mr. Ponsonby) had paid all that at-
tention to the charges which their insportance de-
manded, and had particularly read every one of them
three times that day. He had no doubt theNobleLord
was anxious respecting them, and therefore required
the indulgence of the House. But he deprecated
the idea of his (Mr. Ponsonby) being suspected ca-
pable of treating such charges with derision. He
trusted the House knew his character and teclings,
too well to suppose him actuated by such mo-
tives.—(llear, hear.)—The House would do him
the justice to believe he was at all times anxious
to be the friend of inquiry, and to conduct
every inquiry in a dispassionate, honest manner.—
(Hear, hear )—The qitestion now to be discussed was,
.what shall the House do in such a case ? Shall they,
after finding the charges unworthy of notice, allow
them to stand on. their journals ? He did not think
the Molise could in any degree consistently allow
them to remain, for by such allowance, they would
sanction the idea that the charges met with their in-
direct approbation. In justice to the Noble Lord
who was Chief Justice of the King's Bench, in Ps-
*s to the dignity and character of the House, he
should now move that the proceedings in the Jour-
nals respecting these charges be expunged. At the
same time he begged to aeatire the Noble Lurd
(Cochrane) this did not preclude him from using
every means out of doors be possibly could, to exone-
rate himself.
• 'Lord CA.STLEREAGH sat extremely happy
'bat lsth a motion should have been made by a
/Verson standing so high in the law as the Right Ho-
Isoulable Gentleman did, and he certainly thought
'thv miasnrcnow proposed was the only constitutional
which could be adopted. When the character
• any Penes Pas aspersed the House were bound
to maim ingrate/ into the grounds of the aspersion.
';'be charge agaiest Lord Ellenhorough (whose cha-
-r"wisileatite ages* requited tad eulogies!: from

•
him) Were deemed unworthy of notice' and bethery
fore heartily'suconded the motion for ;heir being ear
punged from the Journals.
Lord COCHRANE said, :though the house did
expunge the charges, they 'svc;tild be handed down
Po posterity. Alter the result cf the division, he saw
it was ih vain to inake any opposition, but he pledged
himself to bring the. subject before the House year
after year, and time after time, as he knew well the
charges had not in the smillest degree been refuted.
Sir P. BURDETP observed, that the motion was
a matter of course, and it was in vain to oppose it.
The motion of Mr. Ponsonby was then agreed to
without a division.
After disposing. of the Orders of the Day, the
House adjourned at eleven o'clock.

SPAIN.*
• •
Private letters of the 25th from Paris, broright by
the French Mail of yesterday, state, that the arrest
of Count Toaaao and other Spanish Liberates had
originated in some mistake, and that they were
to be liberated on the following day. We trust
thit this is correct. The Paris Papers do not pte-
sant any thing tending either to deny or confirm
this statement : it should, however, be recollected
that this proves nothing; for the Press of Paris`
is under much restraint on all political topics, whe-
ther respecting France or other kingdoms.
Our Readers will recollect that not long ago a
*plot was announced to have been discovered at Ma-
drid, which had for its object the overthrow of the
present despotism, and that some of the principal per-
sons concerned in it had been pat to the torture.—
That the real truth should be published by the pre-1
sent Government is not to be expected. This plot,
like Noma's, failed in its object, but by accounts
from Lisbon, and which rest on respectable authority,
the Government is still threatened. Serious dis-
turbances have broken out in the North of Spain►
where the military have evinced a strong dispo-
sition to take part against their present Rulers.—
From the unpopularity of King FERDINAND, and the
severe and arbitrary conduct he has all along adopted,
nothing is more likely to'happeft than disturbances
and plots in different parts of his kingdom ; for, al-
though the unfortunate Poauea WAS unable to carry
his designs into execution, and perished in the at-
tempt, it is evident that a spirit of discontent prevail,
throughout the whole of the country, and is waiting
only for more favourable circumstances to give it
vigour and effect. We are themfore inclined to At-
Lich considerable credit to th s information; &rived
as it is (as we have just obit:tired) from highly re-
spectable authority at Lisbon,
But, to return to the arrest of the Spanish Liberties
in countries not subject to the. Spanish Crown, it as
impossible that such a proCettiino can be beheld with
indifference by other people. It is of the first impor-
tance to the real peace of Europe and the stability of
the different Governments which exist, that none of
their proceedings should be such as to yield an in-
ference (anxiously sought by many) that the, rulers
' of the different States are secretly leagued to protect
each other against their respective subjects, however
Much any of the latter may be oppressed and injured
by those who ought to yield them equal and efficient
protection.
We know that the Court of Spain has solicited
other Governments to imprison or banish the indivi-
duals who are obnoxious to the beloved FaRDINAND.
In some countries such solicitations may produce-
embarrassment ; and therefore those States are to be
envied which, in answer to such applications, can in-
stantly say.—" Our laws give us no such power.”—
Such is now the condition of the British Ministers.
Should they do any thing—should the Parliament
permit any thing which may place them in different
circumstances ? We ask this question, in reference to
the New Alien Bill now before Parliament. We have al.
ready expressed our opinion-that Ministers should have
power to dismiss foreigners who may threaten our own I
peace and quiet ; but taking into consideration the
ground which such a lair will afford to any foreign,
Ambassador to say to our Ministers, " You have,
now the power to comply with thii request of Fast-,
DINAND,* we begin to doubt whether the Bill should
be longer entertained. We are persuaded, that in-
stead of facilitating the necessary cautions of Minis-
ters, the Law will only tend to place them in a situa-
tion much more embarrassing than they are now
placed in. Ministers, on their own, responsibility,
can at any time subject a troublesome toteigiier to a
wholesome restraint, without any such law ; and
they will certainly consult their own happiness if
they suffer this Bill to fall to the ground.
An article from Madrid, in the Paris Papers, states
that FERDINAND has revived the six grand Colleges
of Spain, and restored to them thdr former reve-
nues. After giving the Official Decree, the Madrid
Casette makes tbe following observations :
"'This restoration of the six grand Colleges of
Spain is of much more importance than those mei
aware of who are not acquainted with the history of
this country. CHARLES fIII. thimght it his duty to
suppress them, out of respect so public opinion— his
Grandson restored those institutions, in order to op-
pose a proper barrier agkinst those opinions which
have since, perhaps, occasioned the troubles of neigh-
bouring cauutries, and consequently the misfortunes
of Spain.
" Almost all the illustrious Men of whom Spain has
to boast, owed their education to these Grand Col-
leges, for upwards of four centuries but it is never-
theless equally true, that during"that long period,
it
' was difficult to acquire, any where else, those branches
of knowledge which are, now-a-days, more diffused,
and within the reachOt the lower classes of society.—
ht. DE Cavkwas, in reviving these Colleges re-con-
stitutes the Monarchy on its ancient basis. The en.
terprize is worthy of his zeal, and the confidence
of the King pill enable bin' to triumph over every
obstacle."
