Whether we should continue that law whien had been
moue.ht neceseary since IbJI, depended upon two
der Lions—the first respeeting the state of the people i't
this country. rite other relating to the situation in whieh
this conntry stood with respect to other powers. As I.s
the find, he was free to say that the stale of the people ..t
this country was very different from that in which they
were found in 1793. He belies. d dials to result from tbe
' wisdom and vigour of those measures wide!, had been
resorted is at that time, hot, however, he believed the
people—the constituency of the country at this time, as
be perfectly sound. He now came to look at the state of
the country with respect to the subjects of other Powers.
At present there sere from twenty to thirty 'bosun,
foreigners in England. Of those persons, he believed,
there were many valuable and useful men among them
many who bad fled from ealantity, and then;; wool(' re-
ways meet with a friendly and hospitable reception,
but among them there a as, he doubted not, many despe- '4
rate revolutionary and dangerous characters. In the case
or persons like those to eltout he had alluded, he would
not give up the righted sending: them out of the kingdom.
His Honourable awl Learned Friend had argued as if
this country was made entirely for the convenience of
Aliens. The Honnurahl• and Learned tientlendvi had
said that this Bill might be abused, but he had argued
as if such abuse was the object of the measure. As it
it were the object tit the Governmentto frighten the
Alien from nor shore. It was impossible that any Gen.
Gowan could ever be intrusted with the Government of
this country who woul I act such a part. Even if we
had a Government sufficiently dead to honour and to
feeling to act in the way snppoaed, we could never have
en Adminietration so blind to their own interest as to
take that course which he assmned it to be th.: object of
this Bill to sanction. Mach had been said by his Hon.
and Learned Friend respecting the conduct of his Ma-
festy's Government in relation: to its conduct towards
oreign States. Interference wes justifiable only on the
ground that the State which interfered was likely to be
affected by the matter of internal regulation 01 the State.
which was interfered with. The Right Hon. Gentleman •
here referred to late events in Switzerland respecting
the demand or request 0-4 certain delinquents should
be given up by that °wintry. He contended that the
demand of criminals cool,' only Le eonsideretl as an
appeal to the courtesy of other nations, ani might he
complied with or rejected at pleasure. We occupied a
high station in the Councils of Europe in consequence
of the share we had taken in rallying Vitrope rotted the
Standards of Freedom and Justine.—(Hear, hear, front
the Opposition.)—He rrfeelly understood the cheer of
the lion. Gentlemen. Ile alluded to the share we had
taken in the overthrow of Napoleon, and the destruction
of his projocts of military despotism. That our station
would he nest preserved by refraining from making this
conntry the theatre of conspiracy against existing Go-
vernments. The Right Ham Itentleman expressed his
intention of supporting the Hill.
Mr. SCARLETT contended that the law of nations hcd
no reference to the present question. Ills Right Hon.
Friend had described the power of fits Crown to'bsue a met
of me (real regno ; bat had he ever known 'mitt a writ to he
issued, except upon an application to a Cocrt uiJestico.—
(Cheers from the Opposition,)—To stew that tte right of
seeding away aliens was not a prerogative of the Crown, it
was only necessary le retard* aa.at.at of Partlanteskiwa---
In the reign of Henry V. empowering the King to
certain Bretons who were in the kingdom. His Right Hon,
Friend had glossed over the most odious parts of the present
Bill. Ile had treated ices if it were a measure for the pro-
tection of aliens. It gave an arbitrary power over the
liberty of a number of individuals; and it was the snore M.-
iectionable, since this was a power without responsibility,
It had no one single character or feature of justice about it.
He objected to the putting of such a power in the hands of
any Minister over even the-meanest person. in the country.
But even supposing test there might origlaally have been
a plausible reason for pass'ing this Bin, his !lois. and Learned
Friend (Sir James Mackintosh) had clearly shawallat the
reason upon which it had passed no longer existed. The
Hon. and Learned Member declared his Intentiorrtoeupport
his Amendment.
Mr. HUME heri rose, and moved that the debate be ad-
journed.
Mr. BROUGHAM seebeded the, motion. Ile, however.
condemned the general practice of adjourning debates.
merely because they had reached midnight.
The Mar mess of LONDONDERRY said he skeettrop-
pose the motion. The House had been threatened with dis-
cussions and debates In every stage of the Bill, sod thero
were several other stages in which that threat might he car-
ried Into execution. If the measure were that night to be ,
fairly disposed of, he should not think of opposing theid-
journteent.
Mr. HUME refused to withdraw his motion, and the
House divided, ashen there appeared—
For Mr. thane's Motion .. 16
Against it .. 106
Majority
The (louse then divided on the question for the seenod
reading of the Bill, when there appeared
For vlie second reading .. 10S
For Sir J. Mackintosh's Amendment ..
Majority ..--31
The Bill was then'real n second time, and ordered to be
committed on Wednesday.
The other Ordtrs of the Day were then disposed of and at
Half-past One the House adjourned.

IN PARLIAMItNT.

OP THE COUNTY otr
tiessinpten, June it,
Gurrhassatt,—The Petition, which yea agree*, eft
at Maidstone. last Tomiday, wee preeentod last night
to the Noise of Coemitrue; and I am now about to ode
dress you oa the debit'. which arose out of it, sad
particularly eat of the addition, which I bad the by.
moor to propose for your adoptive, and which yea bad
the honesty. the eimerity and good faith to adopt.—
This addition. it will be recollected. was is tbe
tol-
I 'wing words
'r had your Polltlemen further, most humbly pray, that
" your cloneweable House will he pleased to mese • just
,Mechem of He Nottestal Deht. as seen es you shall have
osisspiaseit. • Iteforas of your Honour rte Home."
ibis debate isof the very int impormace to the
emintry. Is each a ease, it is very diakult for the
reporters of mirs•papers to give any thing like a fall
account of what poem. The debate occupied nearly
about four boars; and that which Is 'averted its the
newspapers, as the report of it, does sot take above a
Timer of as hour in the readier. Consequently. we
kove Ira a mete sketch of it In print. Os
there wilt be inserted in Tom STATIC/MAN as full a
report ea caw he mad.: out from the materials already
iu print and from the memory If • Gentleman who was
rreseat at the debate. Yon will observe, too. that the.
La.:ties part of the Peer. which makes up a collide"
able pietass of it, has gives the thing is as diaadvaa•
taVeme a way as possible towards us; that bele/ the'
wish of the caballing factions that hire it and pay it,
and which faction now seem to be frightened at the
upparent return of good sense to the country.
This being lb. care, you are not to look at there.
port of the debate which you will and in this Paper.
and which report is, as usual with Evening Papers,
mode op from the Morning Papers; you ate not to
look epos this as a full report by any means; and,
therefore, you will not make up your naiads entirely
; as to some parts of it, till you see the failing report
. t• •• -")bat cats be obtained. la the meanwhile, it is my
kje ,' • • ;duty to offer you some remarks upon it; first, as to
eit„.•.# . my menace and that of the Meeting ; and neat, as to
the merits of the case itself. In another sad longer
ssdr:se to you, which I shall publish in my Register
of Saturday sex:, I intend to show, for about the
thousandth time, the justice avid the await,' of re-
ducing the lessees! of the debt. On the present occa-
sion, therefore, I abaft confine myself, ',stir as relates
to this matter. to a few remarks on the miserable ite!
ginseng (Wench they ought to be realist) that Ira*
" hero made use of in opposition to that part of the
Petition of whieL I Lave above spoken.
As to the conduct of myself aid of the Meetisg.—
Sir BOWAILD KNATCYRULL observed that my character,
hi well as my cooduci, was worthy of the reprobative
of every bobcat man. He called me " CobLett''„ and.
iii one paper. it is said that he supposed he must coil
me a Geat'llitan, as I called myself a freeholder of
Kent. KmarcuouLL calls himself a Gentleman. I
suppose, mud, if that be the case. the only favour I
hive to beg of Lim is, that he will sot call me one.—
He says that Lord than LIT, no doubt,considered my
character aid conduct as worthy the reprobation of
every honest man. I have no doubt, that this is not
true; hes-ease, if you were to believe this, yir: mist
believe, tb4t which is not to be believed, tamely.
that Lord DAIIINLICT is both • coward and a hypocrite;
for you all heard Wm call me, not only a thutlentha
beet so .` Hooonrable Gentlemen ;" and I trust, that
his Lordship never has seen, and never will see, any
thing io my character or conduct to reader the words
*applicable.
P But, if the proposition was of that flagitious nature
wirier KNATCIIIMILL ascribes to it; if my character
sint conduct were such as he describes them, what
si•ustion does be place himself in. There was he,
in his own county ; • cork epos his owe dunghill;
tided by scores of staunch adherents; and
there was I, without having a personal knowledge
of any six men in the county, offering to a county
meeting, h proposition which lie thought so infamous;
wad yet he remained as silent as a moms as to the
weerita of that proposition, saying stothieg about it.
from first to last except as to the mode in which it
should be pot by the Sheriff to the Meiling. There
was I, standing opposite him; he knew (or else what
lie now says is not trne) that I was a person of
justly !reprobated character sad c..adect ; be hears
me make a proposition to the Meeting ; ho sees
the meeting adopt that proposition; be is in the
midst of his constitneats; and not one single word
does he say abort tint cAorwrter or conduct. But.
Ornitiensoo, that would have been saying it to my
Aim and KNATCSBULL thought it more manly to
lapprese what he thought there, and to say it in the
• Howse of Cousins, where lie knew I should net be!
If this is being a gentlemen:, 1 hereby give KNATCII-
- melee, that if be ever call me sae, 1 shall eon.
alder It a personal insult.
So mesh for hies, and now to Lord CLIFTON, who
said that it was impossible to tell how it was that lit.
Coaster bad obtained "as 'Wiesen ever the Meet.
" leg se as to succeed with his proposition." As his
Lordship seems desires, to be lot into a secret beret
aid as I saws all disguise, he shall have the sestet..
In the first place. I was an utter stranger. except to
about -sic arsons ; iw the next plan, I spoke
sot to a !tingle soul before the Meeting with
rearm to My lonistioas ; in the next place, I
!baked moko!ly to second Of proposition. Whit,
the., was this leanest'? It was the islisence of a
tooviatim is the Made of the landlords
