From the fostering hospitality of this country, every
thing that he or his family had, or were likely to
have, was.derlyed. Passiegethis bill would make it

tants w Froice. lie oltlected to the hill as contrary
to the eslicy of our ancestors, under which we' had
tontiseee. It was unconstitutional, by giving a power
sheve .di control of the Lew. It was said that it af-
fected ithenS retry, but there was a degree of baseness
lit that mode of reasnning. 'flue arguments horn the
r Ifs of Parliament might be used for almost any
Iwo..-let These rolls were only the records of an-
-16,•
cient acts of Varliament. The object-of the bill was
t.) estabristi a power unenowe to our laws and con •
stirs:lion. He protested against the bill as contrary
to good- British policy. Bin the present policy, it
appeared, had a view to the Possibilities of the French
Gover,iment being affected by aliens residing in tots
country. It sees quite novel for the British Perna-
merit to legislate tar the support of the goveriunent
of France.. He protested against the bill in iota.
Sr S. ROM I LLY said, the House should be aware
what the proposed clause W 23. At pres•nt, as the
bill ,stand, the It inn. Secretary could send rest of :lie
country an alien woman mairied to a natural-born
subject, and ever. eetet•tr of Luglishmen. The cer_a.
tiers was, Vrtletliel' such a p-wer should be granted ?
The only reasons he coold leave for it were, that as
a fernier pie poi.it!oit of ameodreetit had been rejected
so ettght the results; um! that thin lesser power of
prohaeie iejustice should be ritained. Ise the tejec.l

too, (Sir 3. lemilly) unlotantately anticipated. It
was said that it was unlikely that the power would be
abused; but psis that an areenreen to offer to the
House of Commons ? Becate,e Ministers said they
weie not likely to abuse the powers they asked, were
the House to enable them t;) es) so if they chose?—
The power had been abused in various casts—in one
case of a- men who had lived here fifteen years, and
had made his property in this country. He thought
also that it must t•e ado..itted, th •tessrsons had • been
ser.t away at the ia,tanc4 of a fereign Minisier. When
these abuses were seen, weuld the grata Mi-
nisters this enormous cower ? There sea' no objec-
tian to the clause, but the wish ot the Noble Lord to
Wile tee whole power of the Aliea Act.
Lord MILTON uhserved, that in Mr. Pitt's bill
there were li:nitatiens.
• The House then divided—For the Amendment
—Age nst it dl—leliejority
When we were re-admitted into the Gallery, we
found Mr. J. P. GRANT proposing another clause to
peteet as alien bete being transported to any pail
that his :4-Jests's Ministers chose ageinet his own will.
It would he terrible to vest in Ministers the power of
transeeri leg an uelortunate refugee who fled fro= a
country where he sas p.'mcuted to that same cam-.
try. He therefore should propose a clause, providing
that the wit') should be ten to the port which he
Chose, provided I.e could spew that a ship for that
port would be ref to sail in a reasoneble eetiod.
Lord. cis..sTur Gli op prised the (Wise on
the ground.ihat there was nn reason to suppose that
his Majesty's Ministers wouel wish to use the power
rested in them cruelly and inhurnenlya The clause
woeld be leaving the power vested by the Bill jast
as
it was belore.
Mr. I'RE.TON was snrpiis::.l that the Noble
Lord was no. ash.inse.l io oppose the c:Ause.
Mr. 1.. Y. ILEToN meted a case of a person of
the name of Betfioi, who was sent cut of the king.
dom in 1813 alter seven years residence in it, without
having any cause whatever assigned to him. His
daughter was ()serried wan Lnglishmtn, his property
was in England, and lie was nu friend to Bonaparte,
Cr his three sons had been forced into the. French
army by the conscription, and had perished there.
Mr. BENNET would wish for soate explanation
from rise Right Honourable Geettenian (Mr. Ad-
dingt n) on this case.
Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY thought the instance
mentioned by his lionouritale Frieriu a most power-
fill proof of the, abuse of powers vented in Ministers
by the Act. .
Mr. 1111.EY ADDINGTON deprecate:l4lllz ens.
nof bringing let ward complaints. He defied any
torn of bringing lot ward cornplaint. He dtied arty
person to prove that the person alleded to had been
transported to France to suh;ect him to the power of
Bonaire: te.
Mr. AtiERCROMBY was astonished at the
Right Honourable Gentleman's custom of objecting
to every complaint ot ripe operation of the Act. His
hiajtsty's Ministers v..ished to have an arbitrary
power vested in them by this 8.11 ; ar.d then they re-
fused to answer aay complaints against the use which
they made of this power. But the reason why the
Right Hon. Gentleman. refused any answer on the
present occasion was, he really believed, because be
was entirely ignorant of the circumstances ot the
case. By this Bill his Majesty's Ministers were to
become the Police Officers of a foreign power ; and
this a as the real object of the Bill.
Mr. HILLY ADDINGTON explained.
Lord MILTON thought, out ot the very few in-
stances e hich were said to occur of the operation of
the Mitts li,ll, the Right lion. Gentleman might re-
collect the circiintstances of sense one.
Mr. BROUGHAM said, it appeared that the

to be iteormed, and was elwayentieinformed at last.

Mr. r0N601,03Y. proposed a clause, that there
should be laid before the House, within the first ten

out of the kingdom since the preceding Session, with
their names and the places they were wilt to. He

Sir SANIVEL ROMILLY proposed ari amend•.
menu for limiting. the &ration of the Bill to one, in
of two years.
Mr. HORNER supported this motion. He etould
not conceive why.such a power as this should he
given to Ministers longer than the necessity of the
case required. The Bill was a reproach and a stain
lire the character of the countey, by doing away
that hospitality for which the country had ever been
distinguished, and by giving such an arbitrary power
to his Majesty's Ministers. •
Lord CASTLEREAGH observed; that it would
he open to Parliament to repeal this Bill next year.
It-was conceited that the state o? Europe required
that the restriction 'should continue for two years ;
lent any Gentleman might move for the repeal of the
Bill next year.
Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH said, that no other
grounds for this measure had been laid before the
House than the assertion of the Noble Lord. This
was x Bill for the creation of a tyrannical power,
without any allegation of its necessity. It was a Bill
for substituting. Lettres de Cachet for writs of Haecar
and for substionieg the Inquisition In the
room Of the British Constitution.
Mr. BROUGHAM pointed out the variance be-
tween the language and conduct of the Noble Lord
(Castlereagh). He state& that the Bill was a mea-
sure of named police ; and it eppeated from his
conduct, that it arose out of foreign policy. It ap-
peared to have been intended us a restriction to pre-
vent the inbjec's of one country from reinaining
iu
aneteer country. He therefore hoped the House
wool pause before it gave its final sanction •to a
measure which was nothirg more than a means of.
enabling foreign Ptinces to exercise a tyrannical
power in this country over their subjects.
Mr. SWANN suppre eel the amendment. He
had long been a friend to this ; but he could not
,now give his vile: for rut). measure that went to give
a power to France to exercise a tyranny over its sub-
jects in this country.
The House then divided—For the Amendment
29 —Against it 79—Majority 50.
Mi. 'WOOD was decidedly hostile to the power
intended to be given by this 13i11 to tle Government.
He sew no reason why in the 19th century we should
put an end to privileges that bad elisted for many
ages before. (dear, hear.)—The then passed.
FINANCE.
Mr. P. GRANT moved the tesnwp-inn of thead-
jourued debate on the Finance Rtsolutiens. He
began by observing that this country seas in a state
of financial difficulty, the like of which it never expe-
, riesiced before; and therefore it was necessary far the
Government to adapt a scale of economy commen.
surate to the necessities of the country. He was far
from holding out any despondency, because he thought
the country was in a situation to overcome all its
difficulties; hut he thought it absolutely necessary to
'look these difficul:ies in the face, instead of contittnally
going on from one expedient to another. The first,
part of the Resolutions went to shew the different
charges for the year. He then noticed. the several
items of expenses brought forward on a former night
by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Some of his
Resolutions agreed with these sums. He said the
joira expenditure of the United Kingdom amounted
to 880,850,000. The net revenue paid into the Irish
Exchequer foil far short of the spins necessary for
defraying the charges of that country. Tile defi-
ciency amounted to £616,0L:5 in Irish currency,
exclusive of the sums necessary for c saying on the
Civil Government of Ireland. Ireland, therefore,
was wholly unable to pay the interest of her debt.—
The whole of the deficiencies in the revenue of tre-
bled, and which she would require to pay the inte-
rest or her debt, and the expenses of her Government,
would amount altogether to a million a year. If
the Right honourable Gentleman would take the
Ways and the Me.:ns as he Lie-Belt had stater:l'6m,
he would find a very considerable deficiency. Ttie
whole sum to be provided was stated in the ‘2lst Re.
,:nitition, and 01,1101 serve slight difference existed
between the stetemetes there raade and those of the
Right Henottrahle Gentleman on a Pruner evening,
the deficiency would still eepeer evident. He had
added a farther resolution for the new ceinaae, that
i.:500,000 was necessary. The stun to be provided
by loam for the services of Ireland and England was
411,117,307. The Honourable Met:thee then enu-
rnetated the Ways and Waits, vie. Surplus, Grants,
Surplus Consolidated Fend, Taxes, Berik Advances,
Ste. The Chancellor of the Exchequer might think,
that by these Ways and Means he would get through
the year tolerably well ; but lie ought to consider
how he would get throuph future years. There
would be found the sum of tour millions, which could
not be said to belong to the expenditure of the present
year, arising from extraordinary services; but con-
aid- ring all such expenses, still there would be round
a very great deficiency in the annual Ways and
Means, if the establishments were not reduced.
Mr. W. SMITH rose to speak to order. He con.
sidcred this one of the most interesting subjects that
could come before the House ; but it demanded a
peculiar degree of attention, and unless that attention
were given to it by the Gentlemen on the opposite
side, tresf little good could be expected to result.
Mr. J. P. GRAN I' was only sorry that he had un-
tertaken a duty which required talents such as he sal
at no great distance from him (Mr. Tierney).to Ten.•
der this subject perfectly clear and interesting. He
was anxious that the country should•know the amount
of, the annual expenditure, which was about twenty.
seven millions, six hundred and seventy-seven thou-
sand pounds. It from this expenditure were de-
ducted the actual revenue of the present year, taking
away the extraordinary resources, let the House see
where the revenue stood.. Of the Ways and Means
of the present year, the sum of £5,663,755, arose
Irons grants of the year 1815; to which being added
various other items, which could not lie properly con-
sidered as thorevenue of the present year, these would
remain £9,800,000, as the Ways and Means of tit-
present and future years. The result, therefore, of
these calculations was, that we bad only £9,800,000
of disposable revenue, to meet ai‘Nmpenditure
,of
£27,677,000, taking Great BeitaitiAdireland toge-;
ther. The last resolution Rated the diffefeace, %bleb,
acc.rding to the present establishment, made ,the de-
ficiency amount to 817,877,000; with the exception
of some trifling errors lain might have unavoidably
fallen iota It did appear to him to be the imperative.

rested with Ministers alone ; they must- have cow
templated the present tituatiOn of affairs coat”
years; and all the successful circumstances of tha
war had thrown large sums into' their hands, to aid
them in such 4n endeavour. But when the war was
entered into last year, he (Mr. Grant) skated the
dangerous situation of the finances, and the Right
Iff.n. Gentleman opposite could nut have gone to bed
a single night without its coining home to his thoughts.
He (Mr. Grant) did not expect much from the No-
ble Lord (Castlereagh)--he was too much occupied
lin the government of France to attend to that of Eng
land but from the Chancellor of the Exchequer hi
did expect something like an explanation. The Right
Hon. Gentleman had made it a matter of boast that
£3,000p00 had heed paid off; bat that was out of
the Sinking Fund, and he Lad forgotten the five
million pounds surplus of last year; so that, instead
of having paid uff delit, the Right Hon. Gentleman
knew, when hc proposed the present establishment,
that that establishment exceeded by many million,
the highest revenue of a period of war, when the In.
come Tax was in full force. The erpenditure of the
present year amounted to £29 499,000; the charge
on the Consolidated Fund to *43,390.000 ; and
the revenue amounted to "6,000,000, and some cid 1
I tlionsand pounds : so that the expenditure for this
year exceeded the revenue of a year of war by sever.,l
millions. His Majesty's Ministers never thought of
making any reductions till the Income Tax was re-
fused ; and what were the savings that they had
effected ?—rather curi'vis than important : they
amounted to a small sum on the staff of the army,
and to a small sum in the Ordnance Department :
out of such an expenditure as he had stated they
amounted to 56177,000 : this was the reduction on
our army, navy, and ordnance expenditure of
023,000,0f0. if compared with the whole expendi-
ture, it was triA:ng indeed ; but if compared with the
amount of the particular branches from which it had
been deducted, it was rather more considerable. But
the House might be aware that his Majesty's Minis-
ters could not save unless compelled to do so, and
that they mild save if they were compelled. He
(Mr. Grant) thought savie„os might be made, hut he
was at a loss to conceive how, under the estirioee
that had been given in. If only a million could he
reduced out of the estimated expenditure, it wield
he nothing towards what was required. It had been
held out that no reduction could be made in the co-
loniee, and according to Ministerial statements, so far
from hopes in Ireland, we ought, on their calor-
'mit:, to set down '28,000 men as necessary ; then
the number of men in this kingdom could nut be
lessened when there were so many in the neighbour-
in; States. From 311 this he did not conclude that
great savings c mid not be made, but the: they could
not be made with such views as Ministers entertaiiied.l
He wished t'.) ireow what statementihey would make,
and what 'ledge they would give for the large savings
they had fooroised. lie had now done with the ex-
pi:n(l4llre, and should come to tl.e consideration c f
the revenue : he would ask if there was any rational
expectation of an increase of revenue such as to meet
the exigencies of the case ? The revenue indeed was
sinking and falling. It Gentteraen I ioked to the
pavers before the House. they would find a surplus
stated of 4/85 C 65 (no greet increase on a revenue
.f sixty-six niiiltuns). But compiling the Excise
and Customs of t!.e three last quarters with the re-,
turns of the three quarters preceoing, there certainly
was a considerable diminution, and the £4-5.:.665 in-
crease upon the whole revenue wes accoulted for by
the rise in the item of stamps. The prospect was
most cheerless, and he saw no hopes of any increase.
What was the plan the Right Honourable Gent!em.:n
had proposed ? To borrow of the Bank ?—Evan
that resource must soon be exhausted, and Ender
what circumstances did he borrow ? lie would have
us believe in the probability of a resumption of cash
pay ments ; but if they were not resumed now, it
would be found necessary to continue the ref: ictions
for ever, and then the Right Honourable Cio-othensin
could only look on to a further issue, i.nJ a ter titer
depreciation of the currency, to relieve us from our
present burdens if be had any plan it must be this:
but he (Mr. Grant) was convinced the Right Ho-
Pncurable Gentleman had no plan at all; he was only
swing on from day to day, as occurrences turned my,
and trusting to his stars tor extrication. It lie ( Mr.
Grant) could only obtain a pledge that the Right
Honourable Ger:dem:in had any !den by which he
cupid extricate us from our present difEcalties, he
should feel at least better satisfied than be did at
present. '
On the Resolution being put—" That there haS
been voted for the Service of the Navy, during the
present year, £10,11&345. Its. 7d."
Mr. W SMITH rose to second the motion, aid
though great accuracy of detail had beets !mingle
forward by the Honourable Mover, yet this was out
necessary on his view of the question. He did not
attach any blame to his Majesty's•Nliuisteis ; the dif-
ficulties in. which they had been placed were an ex-
cuse for many et rots ; but he recollected that be hAa
seconded the repeal of the Income Tax, not because
he thought the money was not wanted, but because
the measure itself was so unconstitutional that he
thought it incumbent on Parliament to redeem the
pledyte that 11.1" d been given by the Minister, and re-
peal the tax. It might be said, that his Honourable
Friend had erred in some trifling particulars ;—but
with that he hid nothing to du—those sums were so
small that they made no impression on the total de.
ficit. Under any view of the qtlcstion there eras a
deficit of ten millions, and unless some very uneept-c-
-ted explanation were given, the gloomy conciusiou to
which his Honourable Friend came would net begot
rid of. He thought that, after all, if difficulties were
looked in the face, it could not be disguisid that
sooner or later some reduction must be made in the
dividends ; and though some Gentlemen had looked
to such a measure with the most fearful and gloomy
apprehensions of the consequences, he did not think
that the effect wouldbe so dangerous as was imagined.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
found it impossible to concur in the view wh3ch the
Honourable and Learned Gz«itleman ( Mr. Grant)
had taken, in the Resolutions he had proposed : they.
seemed to bins only to add one link to that long chain
