bad been admitted by Lord Ellenborough, in the
confession that One instance had come within his
knowledge. The Act of 31st Charles 11. was not
sufficient, and the present measure was an attempt to
render it more perfect. He quoted the opinion of
Mr. Justice Forster upon the subject, to prove the
injury that might in future be done to individuals,
who, from the Judges not having power to investi-
gate the truth of the allegations, in the return to
the writ, during the vacation might be sent out of
the country, and perhaps be deprived of their lives.
He paid a high compliment to the learning of that
eminent legal authority, and argued, that in propor-
tion as the impress service was odious and oppressive,
ought to he the rigid care with which it was executed ;
the evil could not be totally remedied until the system
were totally relinquished. With regard to lunatics,
he impressed upon the House the cruelty of allowing
returns to remain unlnrestigated until the end of a
long vacation, by which the very malady might be
increased, or even occasioned. Upon the whole he
gave the Bill his firm support, and hoped it would
be allowed to pass into a Committee.
Lord STANIIOPE reminded the Noble Lords
opposite, that by the 12th section of the Habeas
Corpus Act, if any subject were illegally
.sent beyoad
seas, the parties concerned incurred all the penalties
of a premunire.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNF, having shortly
replied,' the question was put, that the Bill be now
read a second time, which was negatived.
Lord ELLRNBOROUGII moved that it be read
a second time on this day six months, which was car-
ried
without a division.—Adjourned.

BILVIMILS, MAY-5.-....The Duke de Levis, peer of
France, is arrived at Ghent ; Count Golz.. Ambas-
sador of the Kiug of Prussia to Louis XVIII. com-
ing from Vienna, is gone to-day to Ghent ; as also
Coons D'Aglie, the Satdinlan Ambassador, from
London.

By letters from Courlray, of the 2d, it appears,
that detachments of French troops, deserting from
Bonaparte, continue to arrive an the frontiers.
A letter from Paris says, that several Ladies
de la Halle have been put in prison fur having mani-
fested their desire for the return of their good father
al Ghent. Fouche, who sent for them, tried to
soften them, and as they expressed themselves frank-
ly, he asked them if all these Ladies thought in the
same manner ? They answered, there was a mitt-
tare, royalists and canaille. The Minister, offend-
ed, had them sent to prison, whets, he did not veg.
turn to keep them above three hours. It is added in
this letter, that Bonaparte is having pictures and pre-
cious effects packed up, as if he thought of a retreat,
which makes the mob call him la Prince de Lam-
balk.

will pass here this week : we expect 13 Prussian
