NATURALIZATION.

Mr. TIERNEY said, the House had now been for some
minutes without any business before it; he wished to know from
the Noble Lord whether any measure was to be brought for-
ward to-day, which required so full an attendanze, or whether
they had been convened on a Saturday only to have the pleasure
of sitting to look at each other? If the Noble Lord had any
measure to propose, he would perhaps state the nature of It
now, that the House might be prepared for it whenever It was
brought forward.

Lord CASTLEREAGH said. it appeared to Ms Majesty's
overnment that it was not St the law should remain in the

state in which it was now with respect to the continuing the pri-
vilege of naturalization, on the smallest purchase of stock In the
Bank of Scotland; he should therefore, on Monday next, intro-
duce a bill on this subject ; it would be a short bill, to suspend
the operation of the Scotch act in favour of Aliens purchasing
such stock till the next Session. The Bill would have no re-
trospective provisions, and he did not think it would lead to
much discussion. The anomalous state of the law should not
be allowed to exist, which gave the fullest naturalization to fo-
reigners even granting them the highest privilege, that of
sitting in Parliament, and that by only purchasing Stock to the
amount of less than one hundred pounds. The House would be
aware this was a state of things which ought not to continue.—
He should now only propose a Bill to suspend the operations of
the Scotch Act of 1695 until the 2r.th of March next. In the
course of next Session the law might be fully discussed. lie
trusted the Bill which he should on Monday introduce would be
so drawn that it would meet with no opposition, and that it
would be allowed to pass with as little delay as possible.
Mr. TIERNEY could give no information at present on the
course he should take. He thought, before the House was called
upon to legislate, they ought to have documents—the Charter of
the Bank of Scotland, and other papers connected with it, which
would enable them to judge of what they were doing.
General THORNTON presented a Petition from Major
Roberts, praying that the House would take into consideration
his plan for disciplining troops with poles.—Ordered to he on
the table. The House then adjourned.

The result of the conference between the two
Houses of Parliament on Saturday was, that, on the
return of the Earl of LIVERPOOL to the House of
Peers, he moved that their Lordships should not
persist in their Amendment to the Alien Bill. It
was proposed as an amendment by Lord GREY that
the conference with the Commons should be taken
into consideration on Monday; but on a division the

original motion was carried by a majority of 32 to
21. The House had in view at the same time, in
making this concession, the expectation held out
by Lord LIVERPOOL that some measure would be
brought forward in the Commons which would hive
the effect of suspending the operation of the Scotch
Law on the subject of Naturalization.
In the Commons accordingly, Lord CASTLIRIAGIII
gave notice, that he would to-night bring in a Bill
to this purpose, but he stated distinctly that it was
not his intention to give it a retrospective operation;
so that all foreigners who have, or may become Pro-
prietors of Stock, in the Bank of Scotland, previous
to the passing of this Bill, will be entitled to all the
privileges of denizenship hitherto attached to this
species of property. The Bill, of which we have
procured a copy, proposes to enact—

" That from and after the passing of this Act, until the 25th
day of March 1819, no Alien born out of the allegiance of His
Majesty, His Heirs and Successors, shall become a naturalized
Subject, or be made or become Denizen, or become entitled to
the privileges of a naturalized Subject or Denizen, in any other
manner or by any other authority than by any Act which may
hereafter be passed by the Parliament of the United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland, or by Letters of Denization here-
after to be granted by Isis Majesty, his Heirs and Successors,
any law, custom or usage to the contrary notwithstanding :
Provided always, That nothing herein contained shall extend or
be construed to extend to affect in any manner such right to
Naturalization or to Denization, as any Person, in case this Act
had not been passed, might acquire or would have acquired by
virtue of any Act or Acts of Parliament made for encouraging
Stamen to enter into his Majesty's service, or for naturalizing
such Foreign Protestants as shall settle in any of his Majesty's
Colonies in America, or for naturalizing such Foreign Protes-
tants as shall have served or shall serve in his Majesty's Forces,
or for the encouragement of the Fisheries."

The Paris Papers of Thursday and Friday have
arrived since our last.

The Duke of WELLINGTON, accompanied by Ge-
neral Alava, Colonel HARVEY, his first Aide-de-
camp, and-Colonel CRADDOCK, arrived in Paris on
Thursday night.
The Princess of WALES is represented, in an ar-
ticle from Rome of the 15th ultimo, as continuing
very low-spirited ; but he; health, it is added, is in
an ordinarily good state. It was reported, says the
same article, that M. FRANCHINI FARGAMA, First
Chamberlain to the Princess, had beer. poisoned.
The fact is, he was seriously indisposed, but is now
better; and it is doubtful whether any thing poison-
ous had ever been administered to him.

The French funds still continue rising in an extta-
ordinary manner. On Thursday they left off at
72 1. 60 c. The cause of this rise is obvious enough.
A great deal of capital had been transmitted to Paris
from various countries, co be applied in the purchase
of the late loan ; and in consequence of the French
Government having confined it to their own subjects,
the foreign capitalists are now pouring their unem-
ployed capital all at once into the open market.
