an Address of the House to the Prince Regent for al
communication of each part of the proceedings at'
Vienna, as could be made known without iejery to

the Noble Lord, on his return from an important
mission, would not make any communication to the
House until he was, as it were, arraigned before
them. In bringing forward his modes he sinield
not neglect to bring before the House those fticta by
which imputation had been cast on the honour and
good faith of the country, which the Noble Lord
would refute if be could.—[lieer, hear I from

NEW TAXES.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER,
at the suggestion of Mr. Ponsonbv, postponed the
further•consideration of the New Taps to Monday
fortnight.
MR. LOVELL.
Mr. WHITBREAD said, he had in the month of
November last presented a Petition to the Hesse on
the part of Mr. Lovell, an unfortunate porn who
had been laying in prison, for a long time af;er the
termination of• his sentence, from his ineWlity
discharge his '6ne, and give securities. Shast that
time the fine had been remitted, but Mr. Lovell was
suable to find 'the requisite securities. and again in-
, treated the mercy of the House, in a Petition whieb
be (Mr. W.) had is Isis hand, in which it was stated,
that onion mercy min ',tended to him in' full, he
plitnild be useable to regain his liberty.
r. H. ADDINGTQN stated, that the fine had
bosh aliVeady reedited; and the sum • requitiii from
(ha two sureties rodicod to cue had vitiating .5001.

to 9.501. each, at the solicitation of a worthy Member
(Mr. Alderman Atkins).
Mr. WHITBREAD said, that the Petition se.
knowledged the lenity of the Crown, but the Pe-
thinner was unable to find even'the sureties now re-
quired. He hoped bis Majesty's Government would
extend full mercy to this unhappy man, who had
suffered a severe seutence,aml a great aggravation of it.
Mr. Alderman ATKINS joined in the humane in-
treaties of Mr. WbOtbreed, and stated the distressed
circumstances of Mr. Lovell. Many persons, he ob.
mired, would rather psy the sum required, than be-
come sureties for him.
Mr. A. BROW Nex pressed himself satisfied with the
conciliatory disposition of his Majesty's Government,
and hoped the mercy of the Crown would be Wended
to Mr. Lovell.

Mr. B. BATHURST observed, that to change a
ensure intended as one of precaution into a sentenoe
of Punishment was to be deprecated; bathe thought
the Stele required some security against future mis-
deaseaeoen, end that if determined not again to
effend,a man could not be so friendless as net to find
WO*. •
Mr. WHITSREAII) stated, that he bad takes
occasion to visit Mr. Lovell in Newpie, and that be
sitosld not hamtpedeented this Petition, if he were not
folly satisfied of the troth of the allegatiotis it coa-
*aimed. The Right Honourable Gentleman who
spoke last appeared not to have recollected the
statement of the weithyAkierman (Atkins), who had
behaved so meriterieesly in this transaction, and ac-
imitling to whose observation, many individuals
wield be reedy- to subscribe the sum required fbr
Mr. Lovell's surety, who would yet be indisposed to
pet their names forward as bail for that Gen.
tisane. This motives of that indisposition were in,
*deed obvious. As to the Right Hon. Gentleman's
• n epee the Petitioner's character, which,
Recording to that Right Hon. gentleman's opinion,
Could not be respectable, because he found himself
suable to procure bail; it ought to have occurred to
the Right Hon. Gentleman, that the Petitioner was
placed in very peculiar circumstances, in no degree
affecting his general character, although naturally
creating an obstacle to the attainment of bail,--that
being in prison, be was under the necessity of com-
mitting his publication to otherbands' by wheat be

suffering of the Petitioner then was, in a great sea-

tegtke reflect, that they would have to beams se-

Me. B. eA,THuRsT diselaiseed the intention RE'
eq4eg sly thiog iektrisms to the private charaeter of
the Petitioaera of which he really knew nothing ; bat
added, that he could not conceive how any individual
or individuals could deem thentsetres liable to an im-.
potation in mitts the sum required for the Peti.
tioner's security, if the disposition existed to make
each an advance as has been stated.

Sir J. NEWPORT thought the continuance of the
Petitioner in confinement furnished demonstrative
proof of his incapacity to procure hail, and he was
Monitore astonished at the doubt espreued epos that
Ont.
Mr. J. P. GRANT concurred in the opinion of
the Right Honourable Baronet, for four months
having elapsed since the fine imposed upon the
Petitioner was' remitted, and his security was mi-
tigated, it was obvious that he would not have so leas
remained in prison, if he were able to procure ball.
Something had been said of the security necessary to
be obtained for the public—but he could appeal to
the common sense of the House, whether any pecu-
niary securities into which the friends of this onfor-
tunate Gentleman could enter would amount to so
effectual a protection as the long additional imprison-
ment he had endured for want of such warbles.—
As to the future conduct of Mr. Lovell himself, amid
it be doubted that the sufferings he must have madsr.
gone in an imprisonment of almost lire years; were
amply sufficient to convince him of the roniessit_tot
caution in the future conduct of his Paper. Was
it to be supposed that he had become enamoured at a
prison, and ready to encounter the risk of repeated
incarceration ? His punishment had already been
sufficiently severe to afford a most Impressive Leeson
also to other publishers,—and, indeed, that ruin of,
his circumstances ; one of the effects of his imprison.
anent, which incapacitates him from procuring tbstj
required securities, places, in the strongest possiblel
tight, the consequences of his offence.

-Mr. WHITBREAD repeated his hope that Mi-
nisters would accede to the Petitioner's prayer ; and
it was evident, from the extreme length of the Peti-
tioner's imprisonment, that the ends of justice could
in no degree safer by the grant of mercy on this
occasion; fir this was indeed en extreme case,
which could not be drawn into precedent, while the
punishment suffered by the Petitioner was surely suf-
ficient to make a due impression upon his own mind
and upon the mind of others also.
