,OWNE, it was understood, granted

the corresviTindence asked for, intimating at the same time
that he thought it necessary to speak cautiously with
reference to a state with which England was on the most
friendly terms. Her Majesty's Government had advised
the King of Sardinia not to interfere, but unsuccessfully,
and had communicated with Austria on the subject. It
novas a matter of regret to the Government that the King
of Sardinia had not taken the advice which had been
tendered him.

Bill,

Mr. S. CRAWFORD diviied the house aga:nst the mo-
tion ; and the result was, that the question was carried by

and Ireland, and to enable her Majesty to summon her
Parliament in Ireland.—After some discussion, the de-
bate was adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-WEDNESDAY

The House was engaged with discussing the third clause
of the Crown and Government Security Bill, in which,
though no real progress was made, Lord John Russell an-
nounced a very important modification, viz. :—that that
part of the bill relating to spoken words shall be temporary
only, not permanent, as was originally intended.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—Tauiu;DAv

Lord REDESDALt moved for a return of all the Jesuits
who had applied for leave to reside in the United King-
dom since t:le commencement of the present year.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that no such return
could be produced, as there was no evidence of any appli-
cation from the Jesuits for leave to reside in this country
since the passing of the Catholic Emancipation Act. The
noble Marquis next moved the second reading of the Alien
Act.

The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH was afraid it would be ut-
terly inoperative unless very stringent provisions were in-
troduced into it in reference to passports and registration.
Earl GREY said that though the provisions of the pre-
sent measure were not such as to secure a complete regis-
tration of all the foreigners who came to this country, yet
it would give the government the most complete power of
removing all aliens who abused the hospitality they re-
ceived.

Lord BEAUMONT did not consider that anything had
occurred to justify the introduction of an Alien Act. The
vloble lord then rushed off to break a lance with Lord
Brougham, in defence of the King of Sardinia and the
Pope, whose conduct in Italy he contended was most jus-
tifiable, while the government of Austria had been most
despotic and tyrannical.
Lord BROUGHAM again declared that the King of Sar-
dinia was actuated by ambition, and the Pope by a mis-
chievous love of popularity, and by a fear of the Roman
mob. Both those sovereigns had betrayed their trust.
He hoped his noble friend would obtain the Pope's abso-
