IMPERIAL PARLIJMEAT.

NOME OF COMMONS, Joss 3.

Mr. DENNISON presented a Petition from the
Merchants and Sinp.owsters of Rotherhitho and ad.
jaunt places, against the Foreign Enlistment
The Petition, be stated, was signed by above 750 of
the most respectable persons in that part of the Me.
trepolls, and the great majority of them consisted of
them who bad been found foremost in the ►ants of
Ministerial 0011Pari, in times of danger sod difficulty.
On this occasion they bad taken epos themselves,
wit► the Potter wildcat-0, to remonstrate es to the
hopeliey of a Dill, which, should it pass into s law,
they werecoosinged, wool(' most priedicielly alert

r. T. WILSON saki, he held in his hand a Pe-
Woo of • similar nature, from the Merchants and
Ship.owisers of the City of London ; in which this
most ealightermi and respectehle body bad not he-
sitated to deliver it as their opinloo that the question
about to be decided in the fate of the Bill pending,wss
one which yielded in importance to none of those
which lately had occupied the ottesstion of the !louse.
The manafectering prosperity and commercial Into.
rests of the country were, in a great meesere, de.
pendent on the determination of the (louse with re.
aped to this BM, and the interests of the British
community, they were firmly persuaded, would be
beet consulted by repealing every Act which bad any
reference to the subject, which it was determined
the presto Bill should once for all decide. The
Henoorable Member remarked, it was somewhat
singular that the Legislatore of this country should
be, i• the middle of the 19th century, occupied in
discussing the subject of neutrality, and endeavour.
log to define, by new laws, in what centrality coo.
slated. It was equally extraordinary to find that the
King of Spain should have been so pressing with
oar Government for a measure of such severity to.
wards oar own subjects, at the very moment when
he had in his ports to expedition nearly ready for
see, which was competent to carry across the
Atlautk a force sufficient not only to crush the Pa.
tricots In his late dominions, bet to sweep from off the
Gentioest every remnant of those subjects of this
gametal who bad enlisted is the Patriot cease. lie
begged his Mejesty's Government and the House to
consider with the smog caution, bow they would,
to gratify the Spsoish Monarch, or support theoretic
doctrines of neutrality, 'section a law which directly
struck at the hopes of the slowly reviving trade of
this country, and was particularly calculated to es-
tinguish that faint light, which hail hitherto directed
the intrepid sod adventurous spirit of British corn.
'tierce. The distress of the imatiefacteriog classes sal
the daily subject of Petitions to that Meese, and re.
quire(' no sulbantication. In soda a situation it
would 111 become the British Legislature to adopt II
meows so impolitic, through a blind compliance
with the selfish views of the Coon of Spain, owl
madly deprive the commercial and manufacturing its.

subjects from engaging in war against it without the
consent of the &monies. That was the principle for
which be tonteeded. The Severeiga power of *Stale
was entitled to compel the obedience of all its sub-
jects in this point. On that accessed it was, that the
Sovereign in this country was levelled with the
power of recalling alt subjects who were abroad:
and by the swirliest laws, the Sovereign hod the right
to prevent subjects free going abroad, because the
individual was identified with the State on all the
principles of policy sad safety, sod on all the prim-
eiples of social letercostee sod national intercourse.
The Bill now before them said, 66 Without a misde.

—Ulcer, hear!3-1k would, at a la.. yet, main.
Lain, that if not all, et Item the majority of the
legal arguments adduced by his Gallant Friend against
the principle of this Bill were substantially correct
and welt headed. Ile had urged most forcibly, end
lin such a manner ascoold not fail to carry conviction
loth* House, that the Acts which were passed in the
years 1736 sad 1758, sod which it was now intend-
ed, if possible, to revive, hid never in any single in.
stance been carried into 'location. Lfe bad never,
butter, argued, as the Learned Gentleman op-
posite had done for Me that the Sovereign bad not
a right to punish those of his subjrcts who would not
prase that line of policy which had been prescribed
by the State; bat he had stated that the common
feelings of mankind, and the general. policy of all na-
tions, would render all each Acts totally nugatory,
and, be might therefore add, totally unnecessary.-
71seso Acts went not founded on any such principles
us As Learned Gentleman had maintained, but were
deduced from the old law of treason, to • hich they
bore a very striking aMnity. Could it be truly said,
that any State was antral which prevented assistance
from going to one of the contending sorrier, and
allowing it to go without any hindrance cr impedi-
ment to the ether?—(Naar!)—That oath was the
cam in the present instance so man in his senses
could dosbt—not indeed by the enactments proposed.
bet by the virtual elect which they would have, if
they should happen to be carried.—(ikar!)—Wu it
right to pass such enactments, beams' the Govern-
men. was inclined to speculate that its subjects would
ly with mint alacrity to the standard of lamely than
they would to that which was opposed to it,ilte stand-
ard of oppression ?—(llenr!)—There was not a
man in the country, who poisoned the heart of an
Englishman, that did not ardently pray for the
seems of the Spanish Independents ; and if this
Bill was intended, es be had no doubt that it was,
to impede that success, it was taking up the mask
of humanity, in order to conceal the destructive
intentions which were harboured against the cense
of Shorty. Ministers bad said, that this was an
Act which would press equally on both the beill•
pmts. Supposing this to be tree, he mkt not
perceive the necitmity of enacting it. If, by the
late law any English subject bad been precluded
from enlisting is the *voice of the King of Spain,
he might Iwo allowed that there was some rea-
son for (knitting our neutrality ; bet even such
a cireenrstenc,e would not have rendered a new
law like the present absolutely necessary, as oar
stestrality might have been equally supported by
repealing the former law. no would, therefore,
under each circumstances, if nostrality was the
object intended to be arcomplished, say to the
Government, " Repeal your former law, you will
then bold the balance between the Iwo belligerents
even, and will get tid of that severe punishment of
deck, which you now hold forth as one of roar rea-
sons for introducing the present Bill." The lion.
