Tlf F. CONFERENCE.
Their Lordsh'ps being informed that the Conunons were
waiting fur the appointed conference in the Painted Chamber,
the following Peers were appointed to manage the same, on the
put of the House, viz.—Earls STANHOPk, CAR STRIVON, GRIT,
I.IMRSICK, and Bitowntow, Voteoutit MusittE, Bishop of
BRISTOL, Lords KENYON, AUCI:LAND, and REDESDALR.
Their Lordships rep:et:al in proceition to the Painted Cham-
ber; and on their return,
Earl STANHOPE reported, that the Mseageri of the Com-
mons hat tommuni, aced their acquiescence in their Lordships'
Resolution of the 20th of May, with Certain Amendments, to
which they desired the concurrence of this House.
Ihe Amendments were then, as the h:ohle Earl's Motion,
' ordered to be taken into consideration t u•morrow, and the Loris•

• , IRISH CATHOLICS.
The Earl of DONOLIGHNIORE rose, pursuant
to his notice, to present cettain Petitions to the House
from hii Majebty's 11.,:man Catkolic Subj,lcts ot Ire-
land, c.noplainiog of g:ievini::s and itsvictir,ns
they still laboured under. 'L I:^y :Inxionsly wished,

his Lordship observed, that their cause may be Laken
into consideration before the end of the pr;sent Ses.
sion of Parliament. He deemed it his duty to be
guided by the feelings of persons so ckcumstenced,
as to the timz for discussing the merits of their Peti...
tiors ; and also for his own part, he considered it as •
a time p irticiiiarly seasonable for entering into the
subject. The present Petitions were peculiarly worthy
of the serious attention of the 'r Lordships, inasmuch
as some of them contained certain new and itnpor-
tant featlires Two of these Petitions proceeded ra-
ther upon a different principle from the other. The
first of these was from the meeting which took place
at the house of Lord Trimleston. In this. Petition a
willingness is expressed, to concur in such arrange-
ments as may be consis:ent with the full exercise of
their religion, and the purity of its tenets, and saris.
factory to all parties. The second Petition to which
he so adverted, was from the Bithops end Clergy
of the Catholic persuasion residing in Ireland.—
This petition also expressed a willingness, like the
before mentioned, to concur ie conciliatory arrange-
:swats, but though they could not, consistently with
their sacred duties, concur in what was called the
Vets, which, in fact, was an inteiterence of the
Crown, or its Ministers, in the appointaxnt of Catho-
lic Bishops, yet they would subscribe to an arrange.
ment which they thought would do away ail objec-
tions on the score of foreign iaterterence, by adopzing
a system of domestic nomination, namely, that the
Catholic Bishops should be appointed by are Deans
and Chapters ot the Irish Clergy. lie had also to
present a petition from the getieral body of the Itislt
Catholics. This was silent upon the question ot ar-
rangements, but, as heretofore, requited a concession
of their just claims. As to the reports of any serious
differences existing ani•mg the Catholics as to the
object of their claims, he must deny that such reports
were well founded. After a few general remarks
upon the subject of the petitions, his Lordship presen.
ted petitions from the Catholics of the c.aosttes of
Roscommon and Galway, for the removal of the ex-
isting disabilities and rest. fictions the petition frc.m
the General Body of tht Irish Catholics ; the peti-
tion from the Meeting held at Lord Trinilestoo's ;
arid lastly, that from the Cathoheßishops and Clergy
of Ireizatd, to the ettezt he had stated. These &co-
meats :.sing severally read, were, on the Noble
Earl's motion, ordered to bz taken into consideration
on Friday the 2lst inst. for which day the Lords
were ordered to he summoned.
ENGLISH CATHOLICS.

Ear's GREY said, he hi.ld in his hand a petition,
from the Roman Catholics of Great Britain, praying
for*the repeal of those laws by which they were ag-
grieved and oppressed. The petition was signed by
this Duke of Norfolk, the Esti of Shrewsbury, and
Laid elitford—indeed by all the Roman Catholic
Peers of Great Britain—who, he could not say it
without feeling deep regret, were excluded from the
►eats which their ancestors had filled in that House,
to the great b:nefit and advantage of the State.
(Ileur, h.:an) It was signed, as he had already ob.
served; by all the Roman Catholic Noblemen oIR
England—individuals of the most ancient families.
and of the most 'host► ions names—,it was also signed
by Gentlemen of other classes, who bore the most
excellent character—forming, altogether, a substan-
tial and satisfactory tcpresentAtioll of the CathatC

110.1 y thmughout England. (Heir.) . of the petition 1,
which he was now about to present seas not so nun ;
rernusly signed as others on the same subject, which
het had placed under their Lordships' consideration,
he was authorised to state, that this was caused solely
by its not having been thought t'sessary to convene
a General Meeting, or to make a more extensive ap-
plication for signatures on this occasion. The cir-
cumstances of hardship, of peculiar hardship, under
which the petitioners have long suffered, continue,
they complain, unabated. The persons desiring re-
lief remained without any. change—except that
change which the continued existence of such severe
and unmerited injury must have contributed to pro-
duce in the mind, when hope was disappointed, and
redress was delayed. Having informed the House,
here the petition was signed, he bad now to stem,
with tespect to the petition itself, that it was couched
in mgt krete and respectful terms. It set forth, firmly,
that feelingly, the grievances from which the pea-
tanners prayed to be relieved—it expressed their gra-
titude for • the repeated discussions their case had, on
former occasions, undergone inehat House, and their
reliance on the wisdom and equity of their Lordships,
for the ultimate success and establishment of those',
claims, which, they were persuaded, true justice and
aaund policy would load to. Such was the object,
and such the character of the petition, which he was'
now commissioned to ley before their Lordships.—
In performing this duty, he felt considerable pain,
when he reflected, how often and how fruitlessly he
had called their Lordships' attention to the same sub-
ject. ( Hear, hear.) Now, alter a long series of years
—having, during that period, presented many simi-
lar petitions to the House, he stood befote their
Lordships again, to make the same appeal to their
humanity and justice, without having been yet able
to prevail on them to take any step for the relief of
that numerous and highly honourable body, which
comprehended sorne (.1 the most ancient Peers and
Gentry of this kingdom—who, if they were impro-
perk kept from the benefits of that Constitution,
which the blood of their ancestors had -been shed to
create and to support, had been so less distinguished
be a propriety of conduct which deserved a very dif-
ferent species of ocetment. (Hear, hear.) By uni-s
form loyalty—by the most peaceable d meanoue—
by an ardent suppoit of the Throne and Constitution,
in every way in which it was possible for them to ma-
nifest their zeal in the defence of those great oejects.
The effect of the false policy of which the petitioners
comP)ained, was this—that while the Catholics of
England were excluded horn the full benefits of
the Constitution, the State itself had, in its greatest
emergencies, been deprived of the services of men
who were well qualified to support its interests
ayairet eneinies of every description. (Hear, hear.)
Having said thus much with respect to the general
scope and object of this Petition, and not now intend-
ing to m:.kc any other metion than the usual one—
that it lie se: the table ; reserving himself for the great
discussion of which his Noble 'Friend had jest given
notice for Plate se'nnight, which would embrace all
the Catholics of the kingdom—it might be expected
that he would not trespass further at present en their
LOrdships' attention. But there were such circura-
stances in the situation of the Catholics of Great Bri-
• taro, that he trusted he would not be thought guilty
of unwarrantatle intrusion, it he once rrsore solicited
their Lordships' attention to the peculiar severities
which attach to them. It was true, he had frequently
touched on this subject before: it was equally tree,
he had little novel matter to add to his former state-
ments; but he knew that the impression of grievances
of this nature, however deeply felt at the time, was
apt to wear out very soon from the minds of those
who were not subjected to them.—(Hear, hear.)
He therefore hoped that their Lordships' sense of jus-
tice, with a view to remove the pecultar arid extraor-
dinary hardships which the lihonous Catholics of Eng.
lend suffered, beyond all the other Catholics of the
United Kingdom, would induce them again to pay
attention to the degrading situation which the Pe-
thinners were plaeed. It was not now his intention
to contrast the situation of the Roman Catholic of
Great Britain with that of the Roman Catholic in
Canada and other places annexed to the British
C own. Tiler Lordships knew, that by the Consti-
tution of those dependencies to the British Empire,
civil rights were equally secured to all classes of sub-
jects, whether Catholics or Protestants. With this
state of political freedom, which true justice and
sound policy have established in those dependencies,
he would not contrast the situation of the Catholics
of England ; though, when the great discussion came
en, he would state their claim to that full relief
which Catholics in other parts of the i..mpire en-
joyed; he would then state his opinion, that nothing
less could be satisfactory to the Catholics to receive,
or would be liberal and fair in them to Wier. Wliat
he wished to advert to was, that the situetion of the
English Roman Catholic was, in point of severity,
materially worse than that of others who professed
the same faith, and who, also lived in the United
Kingdom. By the Acts of the 18th anitelst of the
King, a partial relief was granted to the Roman Ca-
tholics of Engiaud. Some most oppressive severities
were removed. The repeal of these laws should, in
a view of enlarged policy, have been considered only
as a preliminary step to the granting of that full
measure of emancipetion which, as he bad already
sr heti, true justice and sound policy required. No-
thhtg further was however done; and thJ English
Ceteedics were lett in a situation much worse than
that of the Roman Catholics of Ireland. In Ireland,
their Lordships knew that Roman Catholics might rise
to any rank in the army, except (and it was a most
impolitic and injurious exception) except to that of
a General on the Staff. In England the ranks of
t!,e Army were totally shut against Roman Catholics.
With respect to the Navy, there was no distinction
between Englend and Ireland. There being no
Navy belonging to Ireland, the laws passed by the
Itesh Parliament, and which opened to Roman Ca-
tholics the ranks of the Army, did not enable them
to stave also in the Navy. Those persons, who had
extended the naval.power and glory of England—the
Roman Catholics of both countriek—were, as the law
at present stood, absolutely excluded from the Navy..
. They had no right" whatever to serve in it: Here
he begged to state 'a use of hardship, which had re-
cently occurred, and which plainly proved the neces—
shy of altering the law on this point. He alluded
to the case of Captain White. He was an Officer
who had served, for twenty years, in 114 Navy, He

had signalised himself in many of the most brilliant
engagements of the war—ht bad behaved himself, in
various minor actions, with extraordinary bravery—
in one of these he commanded a party of boats, and
completely succeeded in the enterprise which was in-
trusted to his skill and courage. After twenty years
service, he was, with a feeling of liberality and jus-.I
lice, which reflected honour on those who were at the
head of the Navy, raised to the rank of Master andi
Commander. He proceeded to Cork, to enter on
the functions of his situation-o-but he found it was
necessary, before he could receive the benefit of that
situation, to take an oath, by which lie would abjure
the faith he professed—by which he would abandon
the religion of his ancestors. He refused—and thus
lost the reward of past services, and.the stimulant to
future exertions. He not only lost his new commis-
sion, but his half.pay. He left Cork, unprovided for
—with the whole world before him, after an arduous
service of twenty years. This Gentleman had six
brothers, all of whom had fallen in his Majesty's ser-
vice.—(Hear, /sear). —This did not constinite a con-
trast between the Roman Catholics of England and
of Ireland—they were alike excluded from the Navy
—but it shewed a strange anomaly in our laws. In
Ireland, Catholics were eligible to serve in the Army,
in England, they were excluded. But, with respect
to the Navy, the treatment to the Catholics of both
-muntries was the same. In Ireland the Catholics
wrre excluded from every corporation except
Trinity College, Dublin, where they were admitted
to the benefit of education ; but in England they
were excluded from all Corporations without excep-
tion, and rendered incapable of taking out a degree
at either of the Universt.es. In Ireland the Catho-
lics could hold Commissions of the Peace—in Eng-
land they were disqualifiAl for that important
office. In Wiend they could exercise the right of
election—in England they were denied that right.-
-He would ask what lead the Catholics of England
done to deserve this ?—(lieer,hfar.)—How had they
forfeited their claim to the most general, and one or
the most essential of eiir constituti mat privileges ?
He would ask, what had Mr. Cary, of Torr Abbey,
is Devonshire, the descendant of Lord Cobham, and
himself one of the most respntable characters in the
country—what had ho committed, that, at the last
'election for Devonshire, he should be refused the
benefit of that right, which the meanest person in
Ireland could insist upon?—(Near, bear.)—What
had Mr. belhy, of B:drflestown, committed, who
traced his descent back to the time of Richard the
Second—what had he done, that at the last elec-
tion for Northumberlami, when there was no con-
test, and when it was only necessary, in point of
form, for a certain number of freeholders to affix
their signatures to the Sheriff's return, the pen should
hive been taken out of his band, and he should be
irilormed, that even that mere formality was an
occasion upon which lie was net qualified to act ?
.—The same question lie would put, with regard
to Mr. Silverton. He did not desire the House to
consider their loyalty, their attacliatent to the liber-
ties of their country ;'but he asked, what crimes had
they committed ? Those were the peculiarities that
distinguished the condition of the Catholics at pre.
sent ; and lie should feel that it would be impos-
silix to cell their Lordships' attention to the con-
tradiction between the laws affecting them in both
countries, without .obtaining their concurrence in
the removal of the whole system, if it was not his
misfortune to have made the same appeal on many
occasions before without success. He hoped that
measures would at least be taken, to place the
Catholics of England co an equal footing with
the Catholics of Ireland, as soon as possible.—
It was his..wish that they should be relieved at once
from all their disabilities, and it would only be de-
ceiving the House were he to say that any thing
short of a comprehensive system of relief would be
satisfactory to them. Most of the objections that
were formerly urged against their claims, were either
removed or considerably altered. There was no
longer a preponderating Catholic Power in Europe ;
there was no claimant to the Crown, supported by
that Power in his pretensions; on the contrary, there
was in the bead of the church, at this minutia, a dis-
position to assist in the perfection of an amicable ar-
raugement. There was in the Catholics of both
countries a disposition to measures of conciliation.—
The English C..tholic was always moderate. In
1810 they had come to a resolution to refer their
cause •:ntirely th the wisdom and justice of the Le-
gislature, and declared themselves willing to come
into an; measure that was calculated to conciliate and
satisfy. He had the honour of presenting a Petition,
'pounded upon that resolution. The Petition of the
meeting at Lord Triinleston's, which was just pre-
Aellied by his Noble Friend, had placed the subject,
with reprd to Ireland, on an entirely new footing.
With regard to that which came from the Bishops
and Cli:rgy, lie could not help expressing a wish
that they had reserved their opinion on the subject
of securities, till the objection was proposed to
them. The security to which he hooked was to be
toned in that harmony, affection, and union which,
the measure would necessarily produce. If there
was any particolar mode of security which, from
prejudice or other' causes, was regarded as objec-
tionable, he thought it should not be pressed upon
the Howe. In the petition which was mere generally
signed, and which his. Noble Friend considered, I
therefore, a mote general expression of the sentiments
of the Catholics, the tone was changed. Considering
the rank and qualifications of the persons who agreed
to the former Petition, he was not inclined to regard
the latter as a more just reflection of their sentiments.
But even in the more general Petition, there were
none of those offensive expressions that on other oc-
casions created so much &faculty. There.now pre-
vailed a disposition to adjustment on the part of the
Catholics. He called tilt his Majesty's btuliters,and
particularly on the 'Noble Earl (Liverpool) to con-
sider this. He and other persons of influence in the
gtate, were constantly opposed to this question, but
he would call upon them now to consider whether
the present was a state of the question in which it
could continue with honour.to Government itself
(Hear, isar.)—ln the . year 181(t, the Noble Earl
had distinctly stated, that the disavowal by the Ca-
tholics of the injurious principles imputed to them,
was perfectly satisfactory to him. In MI% another
Noble Lord bad objected to the proposition then
brought forwaril. His grounds of objection were,
the temper and conduct, of the Catholics; the prin-
ciple of right on which they were re,p11114114 at some

timkor o9ter to have rested their claims ; and lastly,
the sititavon of Europe. As to the temper and dive-
sition of the English Catholics, it was not objectionable.
The violence so often complained of in the Irish Ca-
tholics was now much allayed. The claim of right,
if e'er it had been urged, was now departed from.
It was not his disposition at present to enter into any
disquisition respecting this right ; but he did not hesi-
tate to state, what he had often stated before, that lie
was the friend of civil and religious liberty--that he
regarded religion ss a matter between man and his
Goo—but that both civil and religious liberty should
depend upon considerations connected with the safety
of the State. All restrictions, however, which were
not justified by necessity were, in his opinion. impo-
litic, unjust, and immoral.—( Hear, hear.)—With re-
spect to the situation of Europe, it was altered, indeed.
In former instances, when the subject came to be ar-
gued, the Head of the Church was not only under the
influence, but under the obsolete controul of that mau
who once not only reigned over France, but might
be said to have governed the Continent of Europe.—
That power was, he thanked GOD, overthrown, and
he was sure the Noble Earl would be as ready to
state, as he was, that the Gol.ernment by which it
was succeeded was amicably disposed to us. They
had,' in the Treaty concluded between Holland and
the Netherlands, an instance of the possibility of com-
bining a Protestant Goveroneent with Roman Catho-
lic annexation. In that Treaty it was provided, that
no difference should be made between the subjeCts
of the State upon the ground of religion ; so
that this .transaction had not only acknowledged
the principle not to be dangerous, but declared
it conducive to the general security of the wo:ld.
He hoped the Noble Earl would see the injus-
tice of excluding Catholics from the benefit of
.he Constitution. Every thing was now favour.
able to the cause. The disposition of the Catho-
lics—she circumstances of Europe—the peace—
in short, the only objection to be apprehended was
that which he feared might possibly be still found to
exist in the minds of his Majesty's Ministers. For his
own part, if he had one coin.; more at heart than
another, it was, that, before he died, he mignt see
established that g:eat work of national conciliAtion.
Every thing was favourable. Would Ministers per-
mit the goldea opportunity to pass ? It had been
said, and wisely said, in another place, that things
could not lung remain as they were—that we should
either retrace our steps, or go on in the task of conci-
liation. For retracing our steps it was impossible
that, in the present age of the world, there could be
any advocate. After apologizing for having tres-
passed so long upon their Lordships' patience, he
concluded with moviniD that the petition snould lie
on the table.

The petition was then read, and ordered to lie on
the table.

ALIEN BILL.

The order upon which their Lordships were sum-
molted, being read,
Viscount SIDMOUTH rose to Move the second
reading of this Bill. He first adverted to the mea-
sure's being to a certain extent a continua:ion of one
which was renewed from time to firm!, and which
were sanctioned by what rni.tht be almost deemed
the unanimous sense of Perhement ; but they were
uniformly opposed by some, from whom he could
consistently look for nothing but opposition now.—
The present measure, in point of -general principle,
was similar to the Acts of 1793 and 1802, but in its
provisions it was much mitigated, and in that view,
with a reference to the change of circumstances,
greatly improved. It the general sense of the House
was not decidedly in favour of the present measure,
their Lordships' opinion must have undergone a fun-
damental change. The present measure, he observed,
had principally two objects in view. The first was
to enable his Majesty, through the Secretary of State,
to send suspected Aliens out of the coentry. He
should thick that was unquestionably a part of the
ancient prerogative of the Crown, had he not heard
it disputed by some whose opinions were entitled to
respect. The next object was to give facility to the
text:cud In of those orders for which Parliament, ns in
the preceding cases, was resorted to. No punishment
was provided for here, as in the former Bills. He
had, from the nature of the cases, no official informa-1
tion to lay before the House, in iliustration of the
necessity of the measure. He would put it to their
Lordships, whether, after the continu ince of a sys-
tem for 23 years, it could at once be with safety abo-
lished ? The measure was modelled in consonance
with the improved state of Europe. He was well
aware that an Alien, generally speaking, implied a
person born without the allegiance of the King ; but
he knew that persons, though born within that alle-
giance, may become Aliens. In administering the
measure, he assured the House, the best exercise of
his own discretion should be used, and whenever any
case of difficulty occurred, the best authorities should
be resorted to for solution; the establishment under
the present Bill was greatly reduced, the expenses'
being diminished from JOAO to 433000 per annum,
and the diminution in the number of Officers em-
ployed was also considerable. In the last three years
there were but twenty-one instances of individuals
arrested under the operations of the 8,11, and of these
only fifteen had been sent out of the country ;
whereas, in the preceding fourteen years, 200 arrests
had taken place. Under all the circumstances of the
case, he doubted not but their Lordships' owa view
of the question would evince the indispensible neces-
sity of the measure, not only in these views of the
case to which he had shortly directed their attention,
but with a view to the internal tranquillity of the
country, and induce them to decide according to
those principles which had always influenced their
opinions respecting this important measure. The
Noble Viscount concluded by moving the second
reading of the Bill.
Earl FITZWILLIAM rose to give his decided
opposition to the Bill. When the Alien Act was
first proposed, the state of France was such as, in his
opinion, to threaten the subversion of every establish.
ed Government in Europe, and therefore, at that
time, he thought such a measure absolutely necessary.
But none of the circumstances which had then ren-
dered this measure necessary, now existed ; there
was not now any cause of alarm ; he therefore moved
as an amendment, that the Bill be read a second time
this day three months.

. .
Lord AUCKLAND thought the Bill was an in.
fringement on the best principle of our Constitution.
by plain a pottiop of the inhabitants of the king-

dom under an arbitrary power. The antlinrity ef
Mr. Burke, as recorded in the sentiments Which he
had expressed in support if the Bill in 1793, ,cal
completely against the present as he had s.t:i
that the powers givenby the Bill were ton great t,

time of peace.—(lleac, hear.)—The only p,r, tt;sj •
which this Bill could now he at all defended trot
that its object was to prat: ct the Governmeta 1„;
France; but then it was to be recolircted that the
Government of that country was not threatened by
any immediate danger. Were they then to enact
such a law because a neighbouring Government was
alarmed for some distant or uncertain danger Lit
was no palliation of the evils of this Bill, that it was
now only proposed to be continued for ttri ye,l3.
For these reasons he should vote for the arnentlinert
Lord *CAERNARVON expressed his sinpa;
that his Majesty's Ministers had assigned lie ore
'reason why this Bill should be passed. One of Lia
principal objections to the Bill was, that it threw the
whole burden of proof on any person ag,aitist abeve.
the powers which it authorised should be ealerced.
The Earl of ABERDEEN thought that a.g.,,t0

of the measure under consilleratr?n. Tier_

certainly true that we were at peace with thee',
vernmrnt of France, but a graat proportion of tore
population was hostile. H. did not sea that any
&buses were likely to take place under tue powers of
this Bill ; he should therefore decidedly give his vote
for the Bill.

The Duke of SUSSEX thought that a clear cam
of necessity sLould be made out before this ra,,ture
ought to Le enacted. The situation of the c;:untry was
now very diaerent from what it was in 1793. But he
would ask whether such a co:au:tell:x(1 been thoui.t
necessary, until the last 22 or 23 years? out
of the greatest abuses iit this 13i11 was, that it tone
away from a man the privilege of bciog tried by his
Peers. As one who stood up fir the of the
country, he viewed this Bill with great coiicern;
it was a measure both unwise And impolitic. Tiie
effect of the Bill would certainly be to drive those
persons, oho would otherwise have sought An asy.
lum in this country, to America. His Royal High.
ness having expatiated on the mischiefs that wouli
result from this operation of the Bill, concluded by
declaring that he felt himself bound to vote *piing
the 11:11.

The Earl of GROSVENOR said he felt himself
bound to say not-content to this Bid. He spoke
shortly against it, arguing from the despotic dispo-
sition manifested by the Governments of France and
Spain.
Lord KING spoke shortly against the Bill.
The LORI) CHANCELLOR said it was a just
and wise policy, by which the prerogative;which
was either vs•sted in the Crown or in the State) of
sending Aliens cut die kingdom, had for a long
time beer. so sparingly ereicise.i. Bat then it was a
wise measure to strengthen this preroativi! by a lel
gislative enact rent. Tr.is prerogative was receg.
nised indirectly by Magna Cirria. as the roads pance

ence of this ortrogative, but whether fte me.!sitre

Those who spn'se against this Bill must think, that
the moment the seal was put to a Treaty of

the blessings or peace—that :after the world had been
coovulsed for more than t—enty years, its elements
were at once to subside. Such was not his opinion;
therefore he thought the measure one which prudence.
required ; and that. which had existed for sweitty•Eve
years, with advantage, ought to he contiautd, suia-
ject to modifications and limitations. What emu li-
mitations were to be, would be a question in the Coek-
mittee on the Bill.

Lord HOLLAND said, that the Noble and verb
Learned Le,rd who sooka last, had not been 41.• u
adduce one instanze is which the prerogative in que:-
tion had been exercised —Many occasions had oc-
curred on which it would have suited the views et
the Court to have taken alvantage of such a prur(-
gative ; yet it never had la.e.n exercised. He travel
the different occasions from the time of Queen Li-
zalseth to the present period, on which thi. prerog,-
dye might have been, but iNda not acted upon. Lie
argued that the effect of the Bill would be to make
Aliens subservient to the Giv:rnment of the cowl-
try, who might make them St•TVe as tools in meatxres
to subvert Cie Clnstitution of the country. It it
should unfottimately hap; en that the 811 pal
through the plesent stage, h hoped time w,4111 tae
given to move amendriews in the Conttniwe.
Lord E.ELENBOROUGIi said, as to the gut's-
tiOn.of prerogative, that the right of reniuviog
was a most.uudoubted privilege, not only of the S.e .
vereign of this country but every other nati,oi.--
This was a right clearly lai t down by all writers G 3
the Laws of Nations. He cl.iimeJ rir.lit ors bc-
half of every Sovereign. A power of inter

that twelve mouths' impriso,.inent was Vie maxilla:at
of the punishment autln rised by this Act. UlllO-1
the intrusion of mischievo,ts spirits was guarded
against by such a measure we might expose ourseaves
to dangers that would ultimately overturn and de-
stroy OM' G )r.s titution.

Earl GREY thoight, from all that had paSied
during this debate, that this Bill was one which
might be vuted for, but which could not be dcfend..d.
—Notwithstanding all that had been said on the
subject of prerogative, no proof of the existence of it
had been adduced. Nay, in a question of English
law and English prerogative, the only authwity
which had been quoted was that of Vattell, a foieign
writer. No one doubted that the power of sending
Aliens out of the kingdom was vested in the Sove-
reign authority, but then the Crown was only part of
the Sovereign authority in this kingdom, and that
such a' power was vested in the Crown of England
might be asserted but could not be proved.
The Earl of LIVE 11.1)00L contended for the ex

c" '
,

. .
istence of the prgiogative in.the Crown, and argued
that the words mace frohibiti in the Magna Chsrta,
even granting that according to Lord Coke's con-
struction, they referred to an Act of Parliament, still
were proof that this prerogative of the Crown was
then admitteds because this part of the Magna Charta
referred to Alien Merchants, and was a special ex-
ception in their favour. lie also begged their Lord.
st,ips to observe, that, in 1793, when the Alien Act
was passed, we were in a state of peace, and, at that
time, one of the arguments which had been used
in favour of the Bill, was the additional danger
to
which the country was exposed from the machina-
tians of Aliens, 'owing to the greater opportunities
of working mischief which they had in time of peace.
The Earl of DARNLEY spoke shortly against

tile Bill.
Their Lordships then divided—For the second
reading 5+ —For the amendment 17—Majority in fa-
vor 01 the Bill 37.
)The cilia orders of the day being disposed of, the
HOUSe adjourned at Half past Eleven o'Clock.

Mr. HOLMES brOught up the Report of the
Committee on 11;e Gas Light B:11.
Alderman ATKINS opposed it, as he thought
that if it were agreed to, and the powers proposed
granted to the Gels L;ht Company, cutlet Compa-
nies, and partiziil:triy those employed in the South

Mr. hl A RRYATT did is:it approve of the mono-
ply conferred by Cie Bill, as it would operate as a
new tax on shops. As so the measure itself, he thought
it likely to prpve most useful, as the supply of oil
would soon be insuflicieot for the service of the me.

Mr. BROUGHAM was glad to see the sound
*lra which the Clergy took' of their real interests,
bY•Promu!ing such Petitions as the present.
Tge Petition was ordered to lie on the Tftble.
Mr. COKE then presented several other Petitions
f'"al v.itious e.irisliva in the County of Norfolk, to
b.e.sause effect, and one agreed to by the Farmers
sel Freeholders or the County, assembled in the
bora Market, at Njl wich.
On the question that it He r ifthe Table,
Ur- FONSONBY said, that he Was conscious, at
Ifs late period of the S...ssion, that it was impossible
b do any thing elf- c wally to coincide with the prayer
'ltltose Petitions, but urged the necessity, in the
"Tie of the next Session, to come co acme decision

Mr. PONSONBi said that he had never con-
nected the relief of. present distretset With the prOs-
pective alterations in the system of Tithese
Mr. BROUGHAM etpressed the same sentiment-.
Lord MILTON did not charge the House with
entertaining those opinions, but wished to guard
against their being spread throughout the country.
Mr. BARING contended, that the Petitions now
presented by the Clergy and Farmers, proved that
the existing system of Tithes was most prejudicial to
the interests of both, and that any regulation would
be well received by all parties.
Sir J. NEWPORT hoped sincerely that nett Ses.
sion Parliament would not defer the consideration of
this important question. It bad been promised to
Ireland'at the At of Union. The real evil was com-
prised in the manner and inequality in which 'tithes
were levied, and not in their ainGunt.
The Petition was then ordrrcd to lie on the table.

Mr. BROGDEN appeared at the Bar, and stated
that. the House of Peers had agreed to the Confe-
fence requested by that H‘mse in the Painted Chain.
bet., respecting the classification of the Statute Book.
Mr. BATHURST moved that a ComMittee be
appointed to hold that conference.
A Committee was then appointed, and the Mem-
bers repaired to the Painted Chamber.
At their return Mr. BATHURST stated that •the
Lot ds of the Conference had agreed to submit their
amendments to the House of Peers. _
